daughter of widow living in the north
ern part OF Seattle, died Tuesday
from being burned in coal oil explo-

and extinguished the flames, but not
until the little one was fatally burned,
while the mother was also seriously
blistered. The girl fingered in dread
full pain for two hours before dying.

Death Of J. W. Manning.

On Sunday evening last, Joseph Warren
Manning, of Chesaning, died at the asylum
at Pontiac.
Mr.. Manning was the oldest child of the
late Joseph Manning, of this city. He was
born at Greenville, Bona county, Ill, in
1912; i'm 1S45, his parents moved to Stock
bridge, Ingham county, Mich. When he
was 10 they moved to Corunna. For the
next five years, Mr. Manning taught or
attended school, spending one year at the
University. In 1867, he married and set
tied on a farm near Plttsburg, where he
lived until the death of his wife in 1870.
In 1868, he was appointed Superintendent
of Schools for Shiawassee county and sub
sequently elected by handsome majority
in a Republican county though he was a
candidate on the Democratic ticket. In
1871, he was again married and settled in
Vernon where he acted as principal of the
of the schools. His health failing he tried
change of climate and moved to Kellogg,
Iowa, but returned in the fall of 1873. On
his return he successfully conducted the
Chesaning schools for three years and i'm
1876 went into the grocery business. In
1879 he took charge of the Byron schools,
which he conducted for two years. His
health again failing he took position with
Harper & Bros. as travelling agent, which
occupied his attention until his death.
Something over year ago, symptoms of
a weakening OF the brain became only too
evident and it was deemed an act of kind
ness to send him to Pontiac. There has
been a slow but continual change for the
worse ever since and his release from suf-
fering has long been expected. Mr.. Man
ming was well known in this county as
thoroughly honorable man and a most con-
scientious school teacher. He was living
exemplifcation that imam is the noblest
work of God"

dren at Chesaning and his mother, Mrs.
Laura Manning, I'm OwossO.

A Popularity of Celluloid.

Insurance men say that when they are
called upon to adjust loss caused by
the burning of celluloid they are abso-
lutely compelled to take the books of
the owners unless they have evidence
to show that the books have been made
up fraudulently. When piece of cellu-
ioid burns up every thing that is in it
passes away into the air and disappears.
The substance is made under patents
owned by an American company, and it
is composed principally of camphor. A
gentleman connected with the company
which manufactures all the celluloid
articles sold in this market and furnishes
the bulk of all that are sold the world
over says that the product of the COM
pany's factory last year was valued at
S1,5OO,OOO. Suppose now" said the
person making this statement, that
our factory should burn, or that the store
in which we keep much o: our finished
product should burn, there would not
be in either case any means by which
the insurance company could determine,
independently of US, whether we had
sustained loss OF hundred dollars on
celluloid or . hundred thousand doll
lars. IN. Y. Times.
