Engines were responding to an alarm
of fire on West Van buren, street
short y after o'clock when a watch

Ten minutes later second call for
engines came from the lumber dis

third call.
Special calls were now being turned
in bv Chief Swenie for the fire in Naa

obliged to call out fifty engines and

employed at a fire in any city in the
world. The wind, which at times was
almost q hurricane, scattered the blaz-

greatly to the difficulty of fighting the

efforts thatthe flames were prevented
from crossiny the river ard extending

Should Have Washed Her StOcking

When Marie immaculate. Archduch-
ess of Austria. died recently it was be-
lieved that her death was the result of
bloc poisoning, caused by the dye OF
her black silk stockings. In order to
determine it possible the character Of
the poison the stockings were submit
ted to an examination by the Govern
ment analysts, and this Is the extraor-
binary and uncomplimentary official
report which they issue: The dye and
colOring material are free of poison,
and the harm has resulted from the
infe .tiOus matter which easily lodges
in the pores of the tissue and is more
dangerous in black stockings than
others, because they are less frequently
changed"
The infer,1ce is obvious. ana is
scarcely calculated to enhance the
reputation OF the grand old house of
Hapsburg as regards personal cleanli-
ness. Let Us only hope that the 0 ncial
analysts have rred in their examina-
ton. That would prove infinitely less
OF shock to popul ir illusion than the
astounding knowledge that imperial
archduchesSe, were obliged to wear
their b ack silk stockings long enough
to produce blood poisoning.

audience asked elbow abou. the Force

though he had been strnck sq%uarely
between the eyes, and finally he re-
covered himself sufficiently to remark
thai 1t was not a proper question
but 1t was eminently proper, for the
reason that the speaker was trying to
make his audience believe that the
Republican party is, and has ever been,
friendly to the Sonth. Onr people, how
ever. have not forgotten that Governor
