A stone in a Machine Strikes Fire and
Isnites the Material.
The Excelsior Mills at the corner of
Sixth and Broadway SITS. was complete
ly destroyed by fire yesterday after
noon. The cause of the fire as ex-
planned by a workman employed IN the
mill was that IN operating one of the
excelsior cutting machines the knife
came In contact with piece of gravel
or nail and the friction caused the
excelsior. which is very infiamable, to
ignite. IL was thought at first that the
fire could be brought unoeF control BY
throwing water upon it, but repeated
efforts failed to extlnguish the flames.
The alarm was then sent in, but before
the department arrived the flames had
gained such Roadway that it was i'm
possible to check them. j. w. Fox, the
proprietor of the mills, has been sick
Tor the past four weeks and was Just
convalescent- He said that the loss to
HIM, including machinery, stock, barn
and building would amount to about
$4,000, upon which there was but q
light insurance. There were twenty
men employed and all will be thrown
out of work. Mr.. Fox said that the
plant would be rebuilt as soon as he
became we'll enough TO superintend It's
construction. Two horses were in the
barn at the time it caught and it was
with the utmost difficulty that they
were induced to come out. Geo. john
son, of Fire House No. 3, had one Of
his feet severely injured by stepping on
a nail, which penetrated his foot on
the bottom and protruded from the
top. The wound was very painful.
Mr.. Johnson was taken home and DR..
Dales attended him.

IN THE SHADOW.

You know about these ozone pillows.
But, maybe, you do not. Externally they
are like other pillows, square, light, soft
and lovely. Internally they are filled
with sweet, gassy odor, something like
laughing gas. On one side is little
screw, which, upon being turned releases
the compressed ozone, and causes the
pleasant, seductive odor which flows out
into the room. The girl who manages the
screw knows just when to turn it off,
keeping guard carefully over her caller,
lest the seraphic smile which ovcrspreads
his countenance should deepen into a
loud guffaw. The whole thing is done
on the Q. T., of course, and the caller
never suspects what undue influence was
exerted to bring him to such blissful
and happy frame of mind.
Then, there are other sides to the cam
paign-the love campaign. In love life
there is INTERVIEWING life and shade. aud
the man cannot expect always to bask in

ness which are part Of every human
lottery when the emotions are at play.
