THE LITTLE THINGS THE
MOST VALUABLE.

selves as inventors, but almost everybody
nos hecn struck, at one time or another
with ideas that seemed calculated to reducl
some the little fric,ions of life. Usually
snch ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
"Why don't the railroad company make
its car windows so that they could be Slid up
and down without breaking the passengers
backs" eXclaims the traveller III l were
running the road would make them IN s1c
way"
"What was the man that made tins sauce
pan thinking ot:'' grumbes the cook. VIC
never had to work oyer stove, or ne woulu
have known how it oughtto have been nAco.
.'Hang such collar button" I" growls the
man who is late for breakfast. III were N
the business I'd make buttons that wouldn,t
slip out or break off, or gouge out the back
of my neck
And then the various sufferers forget about
Their grievances and begin to think of some
thing else. Ifthey would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, pu, their ideas
about car windows, sauccpans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves as
INDEPENDENTLY wealthy as the man who IN
vented the iron umbrella ring, or the one
who patented the fifteen puzzle.

PENNSYLVANIA FOREST FIRES.
The Losses by the Conhagrations VIII
Rench Nearly a Million Dollars.

hench Nearly Million DOLLARS.
BRADFORD, May THE losses from
Sundays fire at Glen Hazel will mount
up to nm enormous sum. They include
large sawmiH owned by d. S. Dollivcr, Of
Ridway, with capacity of $1,000 feet per
day, and lumber yard owned by Elias
Deemer, of Williamsport, together with
10000, 600 feet of lumber. The insurance
is understood to cover about half of the
loss. The fire caught under the gang saw,
and was discovered about $3.50 a. IN. The
cause 10 unknown, but as it followed SO
closely on the heels of the loss of the Weed
& Co. mill week ago 1t is thought by
some to have been tho work of an incen-
diary.
The New York, Lake Eric and Western
lost fifh,en gondolas and the Cleveland,
Akron and Columbus two. The kitner,
st. Mary's and Shawmut road had about
One-cighth mile of track burned. Traffic
will be closed for several days The loss
of lumber, coal and freight revenue will
not fall short Of 81, ,0O0,O COO.
The forest fires have died ont, but are
expected to spring up at any minute.
Quintuplc hill is now on fire. Ever since
the dry spell set in the Emery Oil com
pany has had man employed to follow
after each train, So that in case the woods
should catch fire tho flames might be ex-
tinguished before getting beyond control.
Yet in spite Of this precaution the hill is
roaring tower of fire. 1t has not yet been
learned how the connasration started, but
presumably from sparks from some pass
ing engine.
The Emery Oil company has lost ono oil
rig and others are in danger, Unless rain
comes or the progress of the destroying
elements can be arrested much property is
in danger OF being consumed. Should the
fire go over the hill many rigs on the West
Branch will no doubt go up in smoke. A
bad fire is reported between Brookston and
Chaffce, In Elk county, and another west
of Coon Run.

A Nsu Pension Rnline.

WASHINGTON, May THE action Of the
pension bureau in constituting the legal
meaning of dependency under the act Of
June q, 1890, has been reversed by AS
eistant Secretary of the Interior Reynolds
in a decision in Il dependent mothers case.
The ruling provides that where the prop
erty possessed by a mother having no other
means OF support is so small that it will
not yieldan income sufficient to support
her during her life, it should not deprive
her of the right to pension The law is
interpreted TO mean not merely enough to
supply the necessares of llfo for any linn
tied period of years, but comfortable
maintenance of the pensioner during the
remainder of her life.

CoNEY ISLAND, N. Y, May 7-Slnce
.Goddard and Maher fought here, in De-
tccmbcr, 1892 there has not been u heavy
weight contest brought off in the vicinity
of Now York. The fact that Jake Kirain,
of Baltimore, and Steve ODonnell, of
Australia, were to meet here last night at
catch weights in n twenty five round go
naturally attracted n large crowd ofsports,
After u minor bout between locals
George T. Green, better known as "Young
Corbett," of San Francisco and Jim
Holmos, Of New York. met at 1876 pounds
for eight rounds. In the seventh round
Holmes stopped, after Corbett had smashed
him twice in the face, and CorbetJ was
announced the winner.
Tho event of the night was then in or
der. There were about 5000 people when
the announcer gave out the names of tho
seconds. Billy Delaney, John McNey,
Mick Dunn and Benny Murphy were to
aook after o Donnell, and Erne Gcbhard,
T.. A. Duke and AL Hoford, of Baltimore,
were to take care Of Kilrain. Champion
Jim Corbett was not In the house, but his
ueianager, Billy Brady, sat close by the
ringside. Parson Davies, of Chicago, was
also an interested spectator.
, O'Donnsll's weight was said to be 1so
pounds and Kilrains thirty pounds more,
Eho men shook hands at 10 O'Clock, and
Kilran looked very beefy when he
stripped while O'Donnell seemed in the
pink Of condition.
For the first seven rounds honors were
squaliy divided, each man seeming deter
mined to win and confident of his ability
10 do so. In the eighth round stiff blow
from O'Donnell's left on kilrain's nose
started the blood, and in the next round
Steve landed three more heavy blows on
che damaged organ.
There was somo lively fighting, with an
occasional olinch, in the next four rounds,
and at the end Of the thirteenth Jake was
nearly gone, the pace being littlo too
rapid for him. The fighting then became
more vicious but rs each round ended
Rilrain seemed to be growing weaker, and
his blows became less effective.
When time was called for the twenty
first round Jakes face showed evident
Bigns Of his punishment, but he was still
very game. He led off with his left on the
neck. O'Donnell fought him around the
ring. When at close quarters OiDnnnell
I. put his right on the body and sent his left
ever on the jaw Kilrain fell like Il log to
tho floor OF the ring, and although he man
aged to get up within the required ten
seconds the referee Tim Hurst stopped
