STERLING STEEL co. FAILURE.
Bureau of Naval Ordnance Of1cials Make
n Statement.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Officials of
the bureau of naval ordnance deny that
the bureau is resp onsible in any way
for the suspension of the Sterling Steel

bureau officials say that the Sterling
Co. has not requested payment, and
Furthermore, it was agreed between
that concern and the department that
delivery under the contract should not
begin until May 10. The company, how
ever, has already delivered two consign-
ments of 13-inch shells, amounting to
about $4,000 on the contract agree
ment, and not $500, 900 worth as al
legged to have been stated by an official
of the firm. Approved bills of these
consignments were given by the de-
partment, with the understanding that
payment should be made as if delivery
did not begin until May 10. The state
ment attributed to a Sterling Co. Off

A sad and Funav sight.


From the way in which Bunk Weath-
erford tells the news, it must Of been q
sad and funny sight to see old man
Jeems w. Staggers sayin his prayers
for the first time down there in Murder
Creek swamp.
"When I come up to where l could
see Jeems w." says Bunk, "he was lay
in there on the ground fat of his back,
wayin his hands on high and gesturin
at fast and furious lick. And to the
best of my recollection, this is what i
heard him say in loud voice:
"'Oh Lord, / reckon you don't know
me. But 1 am snake bit. Ny name Is
Jeems W. Staggers. am the wild and
wicked son of old Parson Ebenezer
Staggers, which reckon you knowed
him. lie was a preacher of the Word
accordin to the old school Baptists,
and mighty good man. / am his
onlyest son, and snake bit at that.
Oh, Lord, have mercy on my lost and
ruint soul. Yours truly, Jeems w.
Staggers.'
That was day of terror and Of
trouble, and no doubt Jecms w.
thought his time had come. But by the
blessins of Him with whom a thou
sand years are as watch in the night
the old man still fingers yet little
while in the border land. The doctors
say he will recover and git well, and
| do hope he will. Sometimes it takes
a heap to bring a man to his senses, but
it really looks to me like Jeems w
Staggers has now come up to the forks
of the road.
For why? Well, the other day on my
return back home from a trip down i'm
the stump hill country rid around by
there to see how Jeems w. was comm
on. In the general confabulation which
followed, he went on to tell me how
thankful he ought to be, and how he
loved the name and recollections Of his
good. old father.
"And never will feel plum
natural" he went on, loolSin lovinly
down upon his snakebit leg. Il never
will feel plum natural and right, Rufe,
till can git up from here and slip of
down to the lot and sing few stanzaa
from that good and familiar old song:

THEIR FACTORY BURNED.

Burns s. Co. of Worcester, Mass, Dis
played BED Flag in Eryan's Honor.
WORCESTER, Mass, Sept 29.-Con-
siderable excitement has been caused in
this city by the fire in the underwear
factory of William H. Burns & Co. on
Salem square. Burns is the man who
displayed the red flag of anarchy on the
front of his building with Bryan's por-
trait on it when the presidential candi-
date visited the city last Friday. This
action caused great deal Of unfavor-
able comment. An investigation made
by State Fire Marshal Holt and Chief
Engineer Vaughn of the fire department.
convinces them that the fire is of an in
cendiary origin as evidence Of kerosene
having been sprinkled around the room
is very manifest.
One interesting episode Of the fire was
the following telegram, sent within an
half hour after the fire was discovered,
to MIR. Bryan at Bath, Me-, by Dell D.
Morgan, ex-chairman ofthe Democratic
city committee:
''Thank God, justice receives her just
dues. Burns underwear factory, which
displayed the red flag in your honor
Friday afternoon, is in f1ames.'

the doorways in the fire wall, then
into the south wing of the building and
then into the large building fronting the
street. At the same time it burned
through the gymnasium into the north
wing and at 80 the entire structure
was mass of flames About 8

wall looming up through the smoke.
The library building, adjoining the
main structure on the north and con-

active work on the part of the firemen.
Most of the students are scattered
about in the houses of the town people,
