The kitchen burglar was out on his rounds
Thursday night and got in some very success
full work. He entered the kitchens and pan

much provisions as he could carry away.

he had a ''sure enough knife-a great big
one-at home" and he would go and reich
it to kill the police for throwing hin into the
gutter. He was the maddest kid in town
and totally without fear or respect for the
police force.

The origin Of the FIRE is not known, and

work 90 this occasion, putting oat the fire
after the building was wrapped ia flames and
apparently beyond hope. The building was

Mr.. Jas. H. Chandler, who witnessed the
burning of The freight train on the NJ. A.
road Saturday, says it WAS one Of the most
remarkable sights he ever saw or beard Of.
The flames from the oil rose TO a height of
fftyffeet above the train, as the oil flowed
down ME bitches on either side of the track
Several of the train hands were seriously
burned, and the section master, Mr.. hcGuin-
ness, was very seriously injured. He fell
into the ditch of blazing oil ard was go
f~earfully burned that at first it was feared
that be would die. He received prompt
medical attention and will probably recover.
There were sixteen cars burned instead OF
eleven as reported at first. 1t required six
hours of hard work by a large force Of hands
10 repair the track and open it for traffic.

FIRES.

The residence of Mr. E. E. Rembert on the
northern suburb OF the city caughtahre on the
roof near the chimney Friday afternoon. The
alarm was given about 3.45 and the depart
ment turned out promptly in full force.
Connection was made with the hydrapt
near Dir. Roach's residence and the hose from
three reels (l800 feet) reached the FIRE; but
though still burning, the flames had been
gotten sufficiently under control BY the use
Of buckets, not to require the throwing OF
water by the department.
On Saturday morning, at 1920 O'Clock,
the house was again discovered to be 90 fire
and although every effort possible was made
TO extinguish the flames it was 80 badly dam
aged that the house was lief. a total wreck.
The FIRE originated in the roof, as it did
Friday and it. is supposed that the
Ere was but a revival of some un-
extinguished spark that was left
lurking in the attic Friday after
noon. The house burned very slowly,
and had there been a hydrant near enough
to turn two or more good streams on the
FIRE, the house could have been saved without
great loss. But as it was necessary to stretch
a line Of hose a distance Of 6fteen or eighteen
hundred feet, only one stream was available
and that not ofmuch force, and the house
was destroyed as a result.
A greater part of the furniture was removed
from the house, but in a more or less damag.
ed condition from handling.
The house was insured for So, 500 with
the companies represented by A. White i
Son, and the furniture for 500 with The A.C.
Phelps Co.

Manchester & Augusta railroad. Freight
train number 81. consisting of fifteen cars
and one tank car filled with Kerosene oil. was

tank Cal broke and a hole was knocked in the
tank. The oil was spilled along the track

entire train was in ahlaze, and it was with
difficulty that one car next the engine ano
three on the rear end were saved.

The house of William Corbin, colored,
which was situated on Liberty Street, not
far from the Cemetery, caught a6re Sunday
night about II o'clock, but was apparently
extinguished by the application Of 3 few
buckets of water. At 40 early hour Monday
morning, about o'clock, it caught again
and was burned 10 the ground.
The FIRE originated in the roof on both &C.
casions and is said 10 have been accidental.
The FIRE was so far distant from the FIRE
limits that no alarm was rang, and few peo-
pie knew anything Of the occurrence uotil
this morning.

sight.
Mr. Montgomery told the News man
that next to dogs snakes were most
easily affected by musical sounds. tie
could readily believe the stories which
came from India of the use which the
fakirs make of their knowledge OF this
fact. He had himself experimental
with snakes, but under circumstances
that did not afford the best test. The
common black snake, he said, could
be quite easily charmed, especially
when it is young. But snakes are not
attracted by every musical note. There
are some strains that catch them
sooner than others. He had not
studied the subject sufficiently to say
where they drew the line. As usual
thing they seem to prefer slow and
mournful measure.

A Famous Clinic.

Perhaps the most famous clinic in
the world was the late DR.. Theodore
Billroth in the University Of Vienna.
To it came students from every civil

The discipline in his clinic was that
of an army, the result, possibly, of his
long military service. A martinez,

sympathetic and tender with his

word of praise, while rebuke from
him, usually couched in the words,

TO DRAIN THE DISHES.

An appliance that will at once recon-
mend itself as useful accessory to the
kitchen is table grooved and inclined
SO that all the water upon it drains to
an outlet at the front into the basin in
which the articles have been washed,
and which is placed under the outlet.
A great many plates, cups, saucers,
jugs, decenters and such ware can be
drained at the same time. By bar,
which is fitted across the table, all
articles placed in the rack are held
quite securely, without possibility OF
slipping. 1t is made entirely of wood,
SO that no part will rust, and the ware
placed upon it is not liable - be
Clipped. The rack, legs and all parts
can be folded up into a very small
space, and quite fiat. without the least
trouble, SO it takes up little room
when not in use, and can be hung upon
the wall if desired. New York Ad-

PATIENCE.

Be patient Easy words to speak
While plenty fills the cup OF life.
While health brings roses to the cheek.
And far removed are care and strife.
Falling so glibly from the tongue
Ofthose-I often think of this
Whom suffering has never wrung,
Who scarcely know what patience is.
Be patient when the sufferer lies
PROSTATE beneath some fell disease,
And longs, through tortuEng agonies,
Only for one short hour Of ease.
Be patient when the weary brain
Is racked with thought and anxious care,
And troubles in an endless train
Seem almost more than it can bear.
To feel the torture of delay
The agony of hope deferred;
To labor still from day to day.
The prize unwon, the prayer unheGrd.
And still to hope and strive and wait
The due reward of fortunes kiss
This is to almost conquer fate,
This is to learn what patience is.
Despair not though the clouds are dark,
And storm and danger veil the sky;
Let fate and courage guide thy bark.
The storm will pass the port is nigh.
De patient and the tide will turn,
Shadows will flee before the sun.
These are the hopes that live and burn
To light US till our work is DONE
ALI the Year Round.
