This is the time of year when an in
creased number of coufagrations in small
private houses is to be looked for. The
cause is the re-starting of fires for the win
ter. Many families use gasoline stoves all
summer and during November and Deem
Der resume coal fires. Unfortunately they
omit often the formula Of getting the chin
ney swept, and this omission is the cause
of many fires, especially when there is q
jolsu in or close TO the fue, which is too
often the case. No one should let a Chin
ney go on year after year without its
being swept thoroughly. If it smokes
and refuses to draw, until the
remedy is forthcoming, no great
harm is done, but much too frequently a
fire is the result, as the activity of our
fire insurance men now indicates. They
are kept busy running from place to place
adjusting matters, when it would almost
paysthem to keep chimney sweep to go
go through the houses of careless owners
whose property they have insured.

1t is surprising how some people will con-

Mr.. Gould was not a believer in cheap

garded economy as poor policy. It the va
rious brances of his extended business he
aimed TO secure the best men possible, and
he was never known to dicker over the
amount of pay. His conspicuous success In
avoiding the legal shoals through which he
was obliged to thread his way during his
eventful career was due mainly to the fact
that he always had In his employ the very
bes5 begal talent chat money could procure.
The story about Mr.. Sage and his office
boy has been frequently told 10 Wall Street,
but it has never appeared in print. Mr..
Sage had an Office boy who had been with
him for several years, was familiar with
his methods and moods, and understood
perfectly well the status OF each OF Mr..
Sage's customers The boy was alert, tact
full and faithful, and in due course OF time
received tempting offers 10 leave Mr.. Seges

Mr.. Hahn and asked him TO explain the
reason for his resignation.
"Mr. Gould, said the colonel, II have

The loyalty of s. 8. 81. Clark, general
manager of the Missouri Pacific and prssi-

been the subject of frequent comment MIR.
Clark is by no means a low-priced man, and
the fact that he has long been one of Mr.
Gould's trusted lieutenants means that he
has NOT worked for low pay.
It Is related that 1.-The Atchison people
once tried TO get Mr.. Clark TO enter their
employ by Offering him an advance of $10,-

refused the offer and said nothing. Mr..

New York, Feb 4-The Medical Record,
edited by DIR. George I. Sprady, will, in
the next issue, publish the following
interesting article on the recent
poisoning case which resulted in
the conviction Of Carlyle w. Harris for the
murder of his wife. DIR. Sprady writes:
As might have been anticipated it was not
difficult to make experts fatty contradict
each other on essential points, and
helplessly middle the unscentftic brains of
the Jury This display of contradic-
tory evidence is not without a
lesson to the student Of medical
Jurisprudence in emphasizing the
necessity of impartial scientific commits
sions. whose functions should be advisory
and explanatory to the court as opposed to
the custom of experts who are avowedly en-
gagged TO take the side of one or the other In
Commenting on the case from q scientific
point of view, it is fair to say the evidence
clearly pointed TO mOrphia as the cause of
death. notwithstanding the able testimony
to the contrary offered by gentlemen of ac-
knowied experience in pathology
and micro-chemlstry OF poisons. 1t
was also plainly to be seen
that the pathological LESSONS, claimed to
have been possible in the brain and kid

after burial and when decomposition had

children were, at their grandfatheris.

The emnity sprang from the jealousy of
Bradford res arding a young step-daughter

a AIystifyIng Case.
Special to the Gazette.

DALLAS. TEX, Feb. 4-The baby case
mentioned in these columns several days
ago was brought TO the notice of the courts
to-day by Mrs Ryman, one of the claim
ants, fling complaint against Mrs. Richards
of OBJ Main street, who is in possession of
the child, charging the latter with assault
and battery Mrs. Ryman went to Mrs.
Richards home yesterday to see the child
and it was then and there that the women
clashed. Mrs. Ryman had witnesses to
prove that the child was the same that she
bore; that on the day of its birth it was
taken to its father, who gave it to an old
negro woman to keep, and she having more
than she could manage took it to the city
hospital, where Mrs. Richards obtained
possession of it. Mrs. Richards intro
6uced testimony TO show that the child was
hers. She swore that one hour
after its birth it was taken by the midwife
and she never saw it until she found it in
the hospital. She knew it by its deformed
foot.
The case is as mystifying as ever. One
of the women is evidently mother of the
child, but which one is the question. No
motive can be suggested for 4 fictitious
claim unless it is to shield the guilty father
who is said TO be q prominent citizen. Mrs.
Ryman threatens to take action under a
writ of habeas corpus and then all the facts
in the case will be brought out.
