There were two more fires in D4ven-
port last night, and there are evidences of
incendiary origin in both cases. At IL
o'clock the barn in the rear of the ST.
James W, s destroyed with contents, in
Guiding q valuable little Shetland pony
belonging to the daughter of Landlord
Brdsall. The department did heroic
service, preventing the spreading of the
flames.
Shortly after large frame building at
the corner of Ripley and Third was dis
covered in flames, but WAS saved with
loss of $500.
A sad accident accompanied the at
tempt to extinguish the fire at this place.
A ladder he'd been thrown to the third
story window and Christ Hanson, liver
of the twos mounted TO the top. William
Marshall clambered up right after him
and they were followed by one or two
other 6Temen who assisted in
running the hose up to Han
sen, VINO = ION ma Inc DCZZte.
When the water was turned on the com
bined weight of hose snd men broke the
ladder and the men tumbled to the side
wax. Hansen fell nearly 80 fset and was
injured across the region of the kidneys
and also strained his neck and bruised
one leg. He got ~ and Was taken into
DR.. jays residence near by, AMI later 10
his home il the patrol wagon. Mr..
Marshall, the second man on the ladder,
also hurt one of bis legs quite badly. 1t
is not thought that the injuries of either
will prove permanent. No theory other
than that of incend arism can account for
either of the two fires.

prosperity, and the progressive spirit of
It's business men is the opening of George

BERLIN, November 24'-The North Ger
man Gazette, referring to Chancellor Won
Caprivis speech in the Reichstag yester-
day, expresses the hope that the authentic
information furnished by the Chancellor in
regard 10 the Ema despatch will silence
the critics who are basing their attacks on
false conceptions. With the exception OF
the semi official press, the newspapers of
Berlin contain chilling criticisms upon the
Chancellor's speech. Even the kreU.e
Zeftung dismisscs it with a few words of
colorless comment. The radical journals
are dead against the Chancellor. The
Taqebatt says that no military believer eX-
cited so much dislike. Chancellor Won
Caprvi cannot hope to have the House pass
his bills as they stand. The bill must be
modified or it is doomed.

letter from the Vatican dealing with
American matters has been dispatched
90 MGR. Set0.G, the P2pal Abelegate
now in the United States. The cOusis-
tory has again been delayed, the Pope
desiring before 10 is held 20 conclude the
negotiations with France, and perhaps
also % finish o work ON the general sit

New York, during his recent VISIT 90
Rome, saw the Pope and several CarJi-

keou.y desires that all disputes in the
church in America shall cease, and that
Mgr SaloITs mission TO this end may
succeed.
Nonse.gHuer Farley sailed from Liv-
erD0ol for New York yesterday. The
Vatican has been much impressed by
fact that the new Faribau,t commission
has maintained the contract with Arch
bishop Ireland. II has already been
stated Ia these dispatches that His
Holiness secludeS himself in his apart

Simple Precautions that Stay aeep Away
Disease,


Disease,
The Boston Transcript advises the
following simple precautions, which, it
says, may be the means OF ayerting Sc
rious disease:
Don't put any money In your mouth.
1t is literally filthy lucre. A doctor who
is in the habit Of disiniecting the money
that comes 10 her, calls it one Of her char
tiles. Yet the coin or Creeuback, that
at best Is far from Immaculate and may
be foul with disease, is held between
her lips by some girl while she searches
for a nickel TO pay her car fare with,
or struggles with her bundles. II she
could see what it is she has placed in
her mouth, she would be cured Of the
habit once for all.
Don't often put candy in your mouth.
Investigations in dentistry show that
decayed teeth are the work Of micro
organism that breeds and iOurishes In
Just that particular acid which the dis
Indignation OF sugar produces. In
proportion as foods contain starch and
sugar are they likely 10 affect
the teeth, and in candy the
DIOnOIL .Ou Vi SAAdl - 0b LlAt utAN-
mum. A prominent dentist cites the case
Of a working CONFECTIONERY, who, by
the time he reached middle life, had not
a tooth left. His teeth were fragile to
begin with, and he had been living in
an atmosphere most favorable 10 their
decay.
Don't put your bare hands in the straps
furnished in the street car for the over
flow OF passengers. Turn one OF these
straps inside out, In any car not fresh
from the shops aud the reason will be
plain. Handled as they are by all sorts
and conditions OF men. they are ready
carriers Of disease. The abraded skin
Of your finger may touch an infected
spot, or dangerous bacteria may be
transferred at the next motion OF the
hand, to the delicate tissues Of the
mouth or eyes.
Don't use public drinking vessels.
Don't use the towels provided for gen
eral use In public lavatories, mems res
taurants and sometimes in schools 4
