The Elevollon 81 . Canlne Mother.

Half a dozen small boys, shepherd
dog and her five puppies and box Of
matches caused a $500 fire in Allegheny
The dog and her puppies were kept in
a vacant stall in the rear of George W.
Evans livery and feed stables on East
street, near Elm street, and the boys
were looking at the pups through knot
hole in the side Of the building, and in
order to get a better view of them held
lighted matches to the knothole. One of
the lighted matches fell through the
knothole into the straw in the stall and
set it on fire. The boys seeing the blaze
ran away for fear and did not give the
alarm. The fire was discovered by a
policeman.
When the fire broke out, the mother
of the puppies made heroic effort to
save her offspring and succeeded in car
rying them all to place of safety except
one. She had to leap over high barrier
to get out of the stall, and the last one
lhe carried out was all ablaze when she
sprang from the flames with it in her
mouth Her grief at not being able to
rescue the last was evident. and she had
to be held to keep her from rushing back
into the flames for it.-Pittsburg Dis

Marve,s or Architecture.

Each time / have visited the White
City have been more impressed with it's
beauty; each time have wondered again
how anything SO beautiful could have
sprung up in the neighborhood of that
smoke begri1ned city Of huge, ugly build
Ings and of long streets of unbeeutiful
houses. Some one has said that while
the buildings Of the Paris exposition of
1889 were such as one might expect to
find at Chicago those at the Worlds fair
are such as one might expect to find at
Paris. There is much truth in the re-
mark, and certainly by far the finest ex-
hibit at the fair is the buildings-those
whited sepulchers of staff which but
for broken corner here and there which
reveals their hollowness have all the
effect of substantial stonework.--Cor.

wgsTBRook MANUFACTURING CO.
viii Close Their Mills From July s9th to
September 4th.

The directors of the Westbrook Manu-
featuring company held meeting at the
Office of the president, E. Fl. Daveis, IL
this city yesterday forenoon and voted to
close their mills from July 20 to Septem-
Der A. They employ from 900 to 500
hands constantly and about $4,000 Is
paid out for labor each month. Mr..
Frank Haskell, the treasurer, gives these
three reasons for this step:
First. the condition of the money mar
ket and the outlook in the business
world. Up to the present time this year
the sales of the company have been as
large as they have in previous years.
The statesmen of the company went into
the market early in the season and the
sales were as large as usual, but it
should. be remembered that the products
of the mill are being made at least six
months ahead of their being put on the
market. The goods now being manu-
featured will not be offered for sale be-
fore next October, and much of the
money which they bring will not be col
lected before May of nextyear. Though
the company feels the pressure of the
money stringency at the present time,
there would be no trouble about that part
of it, if there was prospect that business
would start up in the fall. and that
the October sales would average those
of preceding years. But the outlook
does not promise this. From all over
the country come letters indicating that
the market will be very light, and it
does not seem wise on the part of the
company to pile up goods that there is
no reasonable hope of selling in due sea-
son.
Second, there are numerous changes IN
progress that can made to much bet
ter advantage with the works closed than
could be done running, to their full capac-
ity. The cost of these changes and re-
pairs will be very materially lessened by
the fact that the mill is closed, and adj
vantage will be taken to push forward
these changes.
Third, a vacation will be welcomed by
many of the employees. The Westbrook
Companys mills have been in constant
operation for over 80 years without a
shut down of any kind. Many of the
employees have been working steadily
during all that time and they will be
glad of an opportunity to rest for a
month in hot weather. In some cases of
course it cannot fail to work hardship,
because some of the hands have lived up
to the full extent of their income, and
cannot afford to be without work, and it
VIII probably result in some seeking en-
ployment elsewhere. Mr.. Haskell
says that under ordinary circumstances
he regards shut down in manufacto-
ry of that kind as disastrous, but the
present condition of things makesit the
best policy for his company. 1t is diff
ferent with mills making goods that sell
for special seasons only. than with mills
making goods seasonable at all times of
the year. The closing of the mills for a
period of five weeks will keep about
s25, 900 out of circulation, and of course
the necessity for the move is much re-
gretted.

Mr.. E. P. Jones. the signal observer of

could find and disappeared with them.
However, Mr. Jones got few desks and
