THREE WERE BURNED.
Horrible Death of Mrs. Thomas
Savage and Her Three Lit
tie Children.

At Summit Sunday night Mrs. Thomas
Savage aud her three little children were
burned to death and the home in which
they lived was entirely consumed by the
same angry flames that exterminated the
four inmates. AS far as can be learned,
no man saw the fire and it was not until
toward noon the following day that Bert
James, one of the ncighbors' sons, dis
covered that the Savage residence was in
ashes. The neighbors were at once noti-
fed and party of friends soon arrived
at the scene, and to their horror found
the charred remains of Mrs. Savage and
her three children, lying among the
smeuldering ruins.
The story of the mournful event was
related to a GAzErrE representative late
Monday night. by c. H. James and H.
Herron. These gentlemen had driven in
from the Summit after casket i'll which
the remains were to be buried. Their
theory of the accident is that Mrs. Saw
age and her children had retired, and
that after they had gone to sleep the fire
broke out in the kitchen. Being only q
two-room box building, the flames quick
ly enveloped the entire structure and
when Mrs Savage awoke she was imme-
diately overcome by the heat aud fell
with her baby, at the foot of the bed id
which her two little boys were sleeping.
The two latter were probably uncon-
scious to the end for their remains were
found lying together on spring mattress
upon which doubtless they were sleeping
when the fire broke out. AS there would
have been no difficulty in the inmates ef-
fecting their escape if awake, it seems
certain that the roaring flames which en,-
veloped their little home, failed to warn
the mother of their danger until too late.
On Thursday previous to the fatal acc
dent, the husband and father of the hap
less family had gone hunting with par
ty of friends, and although he was ex-
pected home Sunday, he did not return
until late the following afternoon. He
had learned, however, of the tragedy,
but was unprepared for the horrible scene
that awaited him. The anguish of the
stricken husband and father, deprived so
! horrible aud SO suddenly, of family and
home, was most pitiful. Little onsola-
ton could the horror stricken, but deep
ly sympathlsing neighbors, offer to the
bereaved man.
Mrs. Savage was daughter of Nathan
Norton, of Biodgetts Valley, and had
been married five or six years. Her re-
mains together with those of her three
children, were buried in one casket
Tuesday i'll the Kings Valley cemetery.

o. A. c. football players will have te
rustic if they expect to make any show
ing this year. They have a coach, an6
a good one, and they have him early
enough to accomplish something, but
there is not enough interest shown by
the students. Some are attentive and
are present at every practive, but there
are only IS to 20 players out; when there
ought to be IS.
Many of the boys do not seem to have
life enough to even walk off the side
walk. The college spirit needs to be in
stilled into their blood. A real college
man takes jealous pride in the institu-
ton and IS eyer ready with his services
to help its fame in any line. The o. A.
c. boys need a live leader that will stir
them up.
The boys that play this year, play a
lively game. They are quicker generally
than last years team, and the people who
go out in the afternoon to witness their
four o'clock practice are repaid for the

walk.

IF asked the question "Have 20 got n

SURE of it; that is, if you ever feel a ~ dis

description in the region of the stomach,
you haye got something more than an ordi-

THE NATIONS FORESTS.

The Secretary OF the Interior has set on foot
an investigation Of the forestry problem which
Is to produce results OF large interest and
value and which it may be reasonably hoped
will lead TO the adoption Of wise policy OF for
est administration by the United States. And
whether this hope Is destined TO be realized or
not II is no more than just to say that Secretary
Smith deserves hearty commendation for I'M
dertakng an important task in the right way.
In response to his request the National Academy
OF Sciences has appointed commission TO
study the subjecr In all its bearings and to make
report answering certain specific questions.
The men selected for this work are admirably
qualified to perform It, Indeed they constitute
an ideal commission They are Professor
Charles s. Sargent Director OF the Arnold Ar
boretum; Mr.. Alexander AgassiZ, formerly
curator Of the Natural History Museum at Har-
ward; General Henry l.. Abbot, Of the Army
Engineer Corps. retired, our leading authority
on rivers; Professor William H. Brewer the
eminent Yale bOtanist and agricnlturist Mr.
Arnold Hague, Of the United States Geological
Survey, and Mr. Clifford Pnchot, who Is In
charge Of the great undertaking in practical
forestry which Mr.. George Vanderbilt Is con-
ducting on his Southern estate, and who has
perhaps had a more thorough training in forest
cultivation than any other American. One needs
only such knowledge as every intelligent person
ought to possess of what these men have done
in their several fields of activity to realize the
advantage which the country may derive from
their cooperation in the inquiry which Secre-
tary Smith has instituted
The commission Is asked TO determine whether

lands those portions of the public domain now

how far the influence Of forest upon climatic
soil and water conditions makes desirable n
