serious accident early Wednesday
morning while lighting her fire with
kerosene She had started the fire
and then poured kerosene into the
stove to get better fire. The kero-
sene ignited so quickly that the can
exploded and Mrs Richards clothes
were set on fire. The poor woman
ran franticaly around the room
which was ablaze with kerosene.
Mr.. Richard and his daughter, Min
ME, tried to smother the flames, but
could not do it. Mrs. Richard was
finally taken out and rolled in the
snow and the flames eXtinguished.
Chiet ofPolice Miller heard an explo-
sion as he was coming up Pearl street,
and when he looked back the flames
were pouring out Of Mr.. Richard $
house and he could see a person run
ming around in the burning room
He Immediately rung the alarm and

lv to the house. The fire was speedl-
ly extinguished and the damage to
the house is slight.

but otherwise he is all right. Miss
Richards was burned little in try
ING to save her mothers life,

"MASKS AND FACES.o

Rev. c. w. Bradlee gave a bright
and entertaining lecture under the
above title on Monday evening last
before the Epworth League, at
Grace M. E. church. The purpose of
the lecture, he said, was to call at
tention to the real and unreal ele-
ments in life, and he proceeded to
carry out this purpose with good
deal of vim. He said he believed
more thanever in Shakespeare's state
ment that "all the worlds stage
and all the men and women merely
players" He emphasized the ex-
tent to which each one plays his or
her part in domestic, social and busi-
ness life. The speaker paid his
respects to the more formal and silly
cOnventionalities with which social
life at present abounds, drew sharp
line of distinction between modesty
and prudishness, and denounced GER
tain false ideas Of "etiquette" which
now prevail He made an earnest
appeal in behalf of a natural, manly
and womanly character that should
stand out plainly before all the
world and win for itself that admira-
tion which would surely be its re-
ward The lecture aboundcd in
anecdotes, many Of which bore plain
ly and effectively upon the point he
sought to make and he kept hi,
audience in continual good humor
Prior to the lecture a short musical
programme was given as follows
Organ voluntary, "Ofcrtory in A.
NJ H Eddy; cornet solo, J. w
Batchelder song, Mrs. c. T. Ranlet
song, Miss Ida NJ Penniman; song

FOUR EXCELLENT LECTURES.

The first in the series of four lee
lures prepared for the Home course
will be given at Athenaum Hall on
Saturday evening of this week, by
Wendell P. Stafford, who will speak
of "Whittier." The subject is one in
which all have special interest by
reason of the recent death of the
much-beloved poet, and our people
need not to be told that Mr.. Stafford
will handle his theme in an enter
tanning and instructive manner.
The other three lectures and the
dates thereof are as follows; "Old
English Ballads" by +. w. Bancroft
of Montpelier, Feb'y II; Lowell, "
by Rev. c. M. Lamson, Feb'y IS
"Tennyson, by Rev. Edward T Fair
banks, Feb'y 25.
There have been sold $50 tickets
for the course, and as the capacity
of Atheneum hall is only 40, those
who care for tickets will have to
come early as there are only 60 seats
left. They are for sale at First
National Bank, c. c. Bingham's
Main street, and Boynton & Calder
woods, Railroad street. The tickets
are to be shown to the ushers, but
no tickets for sale at the door.
