FIRE ON MIDDLE STREET.
Serious Loss at Robert r. Somers's
Hat Store.

The alarm pulled In from box 4l3, at $50
o'clock last evening. was caused by fire in
the hat store of Robert f. Somers. No. 232
Middle street. When discovered. there was
bright light in the second story. Mr.. SOM
ers had left the building only about twenty
minutes previous. and at the time he left
there were no signs Of fire about the build
ing. When the firemen broke into the room,
hot fire was in progress that, apparently,
had caught from the furnace.
There was large stock of finely finished
hats and "a nice stock on the first floor, and
much of this was saved from serious injury
by the use of covers to protect it from water.
No damage was done by fire on the first floor,
that was confined to the second story. The
smoke, however, went all over the building,
and there will probably be considerable loss
resulting from it. The fremen had the
flames extinguished and the "all out" sound
ed at 7.15 p. m.
The building is owned by the Susskraut
heirs, and is insured for $1,000 with j. III.
Webster; $1,000 in the Holyoke, of Salem,
Mass, and $4,000 in the Quincy, of Quincy,
Mass. The damage win be about $500.
Mr. Somers had $4,000 worth of stock,
and an insurance of 5000 with Palmer &
Andersons, Sterling Dow and Rollins. What
the loss will be he couldn't accurately tell,
but felt certain it would be heavy.
ladder broke at the fire, but no one was
injured.

Little Lizzie numpnry,s journey

Little Lizzie Humphry, three years old,
was the centre of attraction in the Boston &
Maine depot restaurant, Boston, Saturday.
The child had come all the way from Pitts
burg, Penn. duly labelled with tag attached
to her coat: Lizzie Humphry, going to Mrs
Haskell, Greenbush, Monson, Piscataquis
County. Me-" She had come without escort
of any kind and was to be put on the p. m.
train for Bangor, and would be obliged to
lay over at that place until Monday. A gen.
tleman who saw her made complaint and
Mr.. Miner, in charge of the Home for Little
Wanderers, obtained possession of the child.
Pending an investigation it was ascertained
that the child was put aboard the cars at
Pittsburg accompanied with note request
ing depot masters and conductors to take
care of her to the journeys end that she
was without parents and bound for Maine to
the care of her grandmother. She was well
cared for at the home until Sunday evening,
when she was placed aboard the p. m. train
for Bangor in care of Mr.. and Mrs. Grant
of Boston. The most remarkable part was
the extreme good nature of the child under
such trying ordeals. Perfect contentment
reigned on the chubby little face and she
took kindly to everybody and went about
without murmur.

DR.. Fillebrown of this city was introduced
and spoke on "The vocal organs as applied
to speaking and singing"
Or. Fillebrown said The art of vocallsm
interests everyone who wishes to communi-
cate to his fellow men, and also interests
those who listen. When an effort Is made to
be heard, then comes into action the formal
tone. In singing we have long continued
toLe. The vowels are drawn out, while in
speaking the vowels and consOnants are
short. This constitutes the main differ
ence.
The vocal organs form a musical instru-
ment. Every musical instrument has pow
er, to create the noise; vibrator, TO make
the vibrations, and resonator to receive
the vibrations and produce the full tone. In
the human body the lungs furnish the power,
the vocal chords are the vibrators, and the
nasal and head passages are the reS0nat0rs.
In the musical instrument. when the string
vibrates and no sounding board Is used, the
sound is very faint; so in the human body
the vibrations of the vocal chords produce
thin sound. 1t is the resonator that gives
the pure tone of thu vibrations. There is
very large extent of resonating power in the
head. Now when the soft palate is closed
this resonating power is lost and full tone
cannot be made.
The essential qualities of pure tone are
softness to make 1t pleasant, and resonance
sound, the vibrations may be felt at the
bridge of the nose, the larynx is kept well
down and does not move up anG down as
many people suppose.
In the case of children they may be taught
to initiate pure tone, which will make the
speaking much easier for themselves and
much more pleasant Tor those around.

The Governors Reception.

Tickets should be secured at once for the
grand reception to be given to Governor
Burleigh and staff at City Ball Thursday
evening. There was great demand for
them at Stockbridge's yesterday. The First
Regiment band will turn out twenty five
pieces, and the concert will be one Of the
best ever given by that excellent organiza-
ton. The Cadets will wear their nobby new
uniforms. and the Latin School Cadets will
give their drill. The order Of dances will
keep the merry feet flying until late hour.
The Times item on the Cadets ll,.giving
the impression it is to be strictly full dress
affair, was slightly incorrect. Those who
attend, the committee say, need not appear
In full evening dress unless 1t suits the indi-
vidual taste.

Mr.. Forristal showed good judgment in
first freeing the occupant of the coupe and
considerable nerve in stopping the horse
