ALLEGED FIRE U
Caught in His Own House, Which
Was in Flames.

Between the hours of 8 and 9
o'clock Saturday night cries of
"tire" were heard in the neighbour
hood of Dakota and blackberry
street. The neighbors rushed to
the scene of disaster, finding it to
be the burning of a dwelling owned
and occupied by Ludwig Streyer.
The fire department was sum-
moned and Don arrived. The
neighbOrs, however, had extin-
guished the blazes in two of the
rooms, and the blaze in the third
department was put out by the fire
department, under the direction of
Assistant Chief Collins.
The house had been set on fire
in three different rooms, and in
each, the Odor of coal oil was strong,
thus proving that it was the inten-
ton of some III to destroy the
building.
Soon after the last blaze had
been eXtinguished, Officers Beck
and Rogers and Detectives Hughes,
Bowen and Bader were seen. They
investigated the case and suspect
ed the owner of the house. He was
questioned, and his answers lead
to the belief that he was the guilty
party, and in consequence he was
taken in the patrol wagon to the
city lookup on the charge of be-
ing a suspicious character. When
searched he had $320.2J on his
person. He was very drunk.
He was arraigned before
the recorder this morning
and the evidence was heard.
An affidavit was filed this
morning against Ludwig Streyer,
charged with attempt at arson
He will be examined in Justice
Adams court this afternoon at 3
O'Clock.

Meerscbaum Pipes Color.


To The Editor Of The Dispotch.
have a meerschaum pipe that had
beautiful color, but in the last few days
the color has nearly disappeared. II you
can will you kindly tell me why?
G.. &. W.
There are many genuine meerschaum
pipes which after being colored and put
aside for few days lose their color, but
when they are smoked again the color will
return. The trouble is caused by change
of temperature. Your pipe has probably
been left in a damp room. and must now
be smoked and kept in use if you want 1t
to retain its color.
Meerschaum pipes when smoked become
hot. and the wax shows up well and even
on the surface. but when they get cold the
color somewhat disappears.
There is a process for boiling in nicotine
solution which will make meerschaum
hold its color if laid aside for years.
