The Residence of George W. Bush, Jr., at
Hnrvex StaLinn. Dnmaged by FLAMES.


Harvey Station, Damaged by Flames.
Tue residence of George w. Bush,
Jr., located at Harvey Station on the
Baltimore s. Ohio railroad, was de-
stroyed by fire Sunday morning. The
fire was caused by woodwork near thel
roof becoming overheated, and was dis
covered about o'clock. A strong
breeze was blowing and despite the
efforts of the members of the family
and people living in the neighborhood
to extinguish the flames, they gained
rapid Roadway.
Chief of Police Dolan of this city was
requested to send aid. The officers of
the fire department and the Friendship
Co. went to Holly Oak on a special
train. Their services, however, were not
available, for by the time they arrived
on the scene the house was almost
totally destroyed. The household fur
nture was saved.
The building was of brick and stone
and contained about 90 rooms. 1t was
owned by David p. Bush of this city.
The loss is about $4,000, covered by in
Surance.

Philadelphia trowns Little, But VIII
mington Peruses the Book Without
Any Embargo Whatever.
In the Philadelphia public library the
authorities have placed "Trilby" in that
sanctum, always kept under lock and key,
to which grown persons only have
access. This is the way the librarian has
of showing that Madame Grundy has told
him that, in her opinion, Du Maurier's
story is not proper reading for young
people, and he has, therefore, taken it
from the shelves to which there is general
access.
There is no embargo whatever here
against the much-taked.of book. There
is good demand for it in Wilmington
and there will probably be more AS soon
as the PHILADELPHIA idea becomes better
known. In New York not only is it thor.
oughly read everywhere and in every di'
rection, but il has become cult, and Is
used as the text book for the now famou:
"Trlpy Evenings" where the prettiest
girl that can be found takes the role of the
girl with the pretty foot.

every time that fire is built in the

that when the lids with the letters

put on the stove the same letters
