 breezes of Savin Rock, but 1t was one of
 the days when they were disappointed,

 there than in the city. Still there was
 excitement enough, despite the sultry weather. to keep up the reputation of
 the place.

 unsuccessful attempt of Mrs. James O'Neil to clean stove by pouring kero-

 the grove. Yesterday morning she was
 assisting neighbor, Mrs Harry Palm- |
 tion at Mrs. Palmer's home.
 l The iron work had been saturated with coal oil, when Mrs. O'Neil volun-
 teered to touch match to it to ..burn
 off the rust" The operation was highly | successful, the rust disappearing in aI puff of flame, accompanied by the eye-
 Ibrows, half of the hair and the bad scorching of the left ear of Mrs. ONeil. l The woman fell screaming in agony to the floor and the neighbors rushed
 in to give what aid they could to the
 sufferer. Medical aid was summoned,
 but before the arrival of the physician
 kind hands had bound up the frightfuI
 burns and the wounds are now in fair | way to heal and the recovery of the woman Is the matter of a few days only.
