One OF the pleasantest spots to visit in
the Midway Plaisance OF the Worlds
Fair is the Irish village and Donegal Cas-
tie, which stand next to the Libbey Glass
Works. The village was designed and
erected by Mrs. Ernest Hart, the presi-
dent OF the Donegal Industrial Fund, a
philanthropic organization founded ten
years ago TO develop handwork and home
industries in iceland. The village con-
tains representative exhibit OF Irish art,
industry, history and antiquity, and
should by no means be missed by any Wis
itor at the Fair. The success of this Irish
village means light and learning and
prosperity to some OF the poorest parts OF
Ireland, and both because OF its aim and
its worth, il appeals to every Irish heart.

Mrs. j. +. Dutton, TO Frank o. Wells OF
Greenfield, a member of the firm OF Wells
Bros. There were about 10 persons present,
almost all relatives and intimate friends
OF the bridal couple. Everybody express
ed the opinion that it was one OF the most
beautiful weddings that they had ever at
tended, the rooms having such mass OF
flowers that they seemed bowers of sweet
peas, roses and lilies. During the ceremo-
ny, " hich was the Kings chapel service
with the ring, performed by Rev. Bradley
Gilman. the bridal couple stood beneath
an arch composed of lilies and asparagus

About 12.45 Saturday morning. the viii
lage was aroused by the sound of the ire
alarm. The trouble was found to be at
Princes tub factory, where two fires had
been started. In the main part, on the
side next to the river and between the I'd |
and 3rd studs OF the partition, kindling |
and infiammable material had been push |
ed, from the outside, through an inch and /
and half hole, where a waste pipe car /
ries off the water from the grindstone. |
The other fire was in the basement, just /
below the hoop room, and had been start
ed on belt, which was about eight feet |
from the upper floor The two fires were 1
fully 80 feet apart and no communication |
between them was possible. Herbert Spen
Ger, who was taking care of sick child that |
night, saw the blaze in the basement, gave
the alarm ana commenced the work of ex-
the flames. He was soon
joined by two or three others, and all la (
bored to such good advantage that by the
time the hose company arrived on the
scene, no fire could be found. But very
little damage was done; not over $50 worth
at the outside. The setting of these fires
was, doubtless, the work of an incendiary;
but that the incendiary must have been

plainly proved by the positions chosen
No one wno knew the mill and whose
heart was set on bonfire, would make
