COTTON FIRED ON A TRUCK.
1t Was Near the Scene of Last
Weeks Street Car Robbery.
Incendiaries Thought to Belong to tn
Notorious West Side Gang.

In West Twelfth street, just Off Abing-
don Square, eleven bales of cotton that
were loaded on a truck were burned at
midnight, and II is believed the fire was
the work of an incendiary.
The truck stood just half a block from
the point where an eighth avenue car
was held up and robbed by a gang of
thieves a week ago. 1t is thought that
the flames may have been started by
some members of the gang of the west
side, which the police are making Wig
orous efforts to break up.
The cotton was the property of Wood
ward q Stillman, who have an office at
16 William street Last night 1t was
taken from the Companys warehouse
street, and driven to Twelfth street,
where 1t was left in front of No. 3l6,
where the driver for the cotton firm, H
E. Harrington, lives.
1t was almost IL o'clock before the
truck pulled up to the house. The driver

when there was cry. of fire from the
street. Harrington rushed out, and saw

LIVING PICTURES THE RAGE.
One That We Meet Every p.y.

one Ihat we Meet Every Day.
For months past the papers have been
fairly alive with criticism Of the beauti-
full living pictures, which are now SO
much the rage at many Of our theatres.
Some of these criticisms have been ad-
verse, Ringing principally on the question
of morals. but the majority have been
favorable, and the pictures are here to
stay, enjoying an immense popularity.
But step outside the theatre into the
still night and think a minute Where,
In all your theatre going, can you find a
living picture which embodies such
strength anc enterprise as the Cowper-
thwait Furniture and Carpet business, on
Park Row near Chatham Square? And
what shall we say of its popularity when
we daily observe the throngs Of buyers
In all parts of the big stores, or watch
the happy faces which emerge from the
office?
This long established firm has earned
for itself an enviable record by selling
good goods; for in all its transactions
down through eighty-seven years of
steady business, there is not even a sus-
picion of a tarnish. This fact, In itself,
Is the best guarantee of satisfa Glory
treatment which buyers could have. A
visit will convince you. -
