Brewers Residence Burned.

Between1 and 2oseloek this morn
ing the fire alarm brought out the
fire company. The alarm was
given West SIXTH but when the
hose cart reached Sixth avenue Just
beyond the High School the firelnen
saw that the alarm was wrong and
that the fire was on Cherry street
and that it was the residence OF Mr..
Cul Brewer ON fire.
1t seems that Mrs Brewer had
been doing some cooking late at
night in the kitchen and had left a
fire in the cooking stove when she
retired. 1t il not definitely known
how the building caught fire, but the
general impression is that it was on
account of a detective fiue The entire
building, together with aSl the fnrni-
ture, was destroyed. The building
was insured for $1,000. The firemen
prevented the adjacent buildings on
Cherry street and Eighth avenue
from being burned. Several build
ings caught fire repeatedly. but were
saved from being burned by the fire

A NEW HELLO!
The Quaker City Has Granted a Tele-
phone Franchise to the Draw
baugh Company.

PHIIADELPHIA, PA, Jan. 30.-The
Quaker City will very soon have a
complete telephone system in oppo-
sition to the Bell Company. PERMITS
sion has been granted by the CITY
Council for the construction and
operation OF the Drawhaugh tele-
phone and telegraph within the city
limits. Drawbaugh made his first
telephone in 1867, and the litigation
beWeen him and the Bell Company.
which finally went to the Supreme
Court, has become historic. Four
Judges OF the seven decided in favor
OF Bell, on the ground that it was in
conceivable that Drawbaugh could
have Invented SO valuable an instru-
ment and not have spread the fact
broadcast, and three of the Judges
declared that it was incontestably
proven TINT Drawbaueh invented
the telephone, and the decision that
gave 1t to Bell was practically rob-
bing II poor man. After the lapse of
years, however, Drawbaugh' S oppor-
tunity has come, and the Quaker
City will be the first to avail itself of
his invention.

In n recent number OF the Queen,
Mrs. Lynn Lynton writes, evidently
from experience. Of tho dangers Of over
work and too great norvo and mental
pressure among delicate women.
Only the exceptionally strong" says
Mrs. Lynton, ,''can stand tho strain OF
tho two-fold life OF work and society,""
Social life instead OF bringing refresh
ment, brings redoubling OF anxieties
and 90 much moro to think OF and so
much moro to arrange and manage.
There arc 4 thousand cares that tho
mother, the hostess and tho careful
housekeepe- cannot share with others.
With more pretentious living, larger
families, and with every fresh social
duty comes the increase OF nervous
strain and step nearer tho breaking
down point. Tho great share OF this
pressure comes upon tho anxious mis-.
tress Of tho household. She becomes
irritable and hysterical. Tho most in.
significant little trouble looms large
and weighs hoavy-all because she is
breaking down, and the nervous strain
is too much for her. She cannot eat,
nor sleep, nor rest, nor work; her ner-
vous organization has como all to pieces.

Weighed about three tons,
Such was tho sizo OF tho stool that m.

it could DO raised. In tho meantime
tho man was suffering tho greatest
agony. his clothing being on fire, in.
crcasing tho torture. 1Io repeatedly
raised his head, and seeing tho awful
spectacle fell buck overcome, while his
friends, rendered almost frantic by tho
sight OF tho suferings they could not

water to hinder ms far as possible the

regular old fashioned snow sot in, the
flakes falling SO fast that tho ground
was whitened ina fcw minutes. AL
day. tho snow continued to fall, and by
dark about an inch and half covered
tho ground everywhere. Tho snow was
still falling, though the air was so warm
that there was good reason to fear 1t
would turn into rain any minute.
Tho snow was wet and sticky. Tho
boughs OF tho trees were soon cncrust-
cd, the sidewalks on much travelled
streets trnmpod to icy smoothncss and
the street railways rendered almost i'm
passible for tho electric cars. This was
remedicd by bringing out the salt cars,
which soon converted tho snow on tho
rails into nasty sush and brine. 1t
was benefit to tho cars, but it was
hard on horses as well as pedestrians.
Several sleighs werc out yesterday af-
ternoon. and tho sleighing was worry
good. Tho sound of tho bells was
rather novel for this year. The boys
coasting tracks were soon spoiled bv tho
heavy snow, much to their disgust, but
snow-balling and making snow men
furnished plenty Of amusement.
No school could DO hold yesterday in
Clay school, the steam pipes having fro
zon up. making it impossible to heat
tho building. Tho Children made the
most OF the snow in their forced holt

About ten o'clock last night rain be-
gan to iall: mingled with very wet
snow, and the result on tho sidewalks
was very nasty. Still many slelghs were
out in the slush until n late hour.
