she was forced to seek the air for re-
lief.
There was a great crowd of curious
people present. They came in scores
and when ordered from the court room
stood round the fence of the old exca-
walton east of the police station and
looked at the open windows. Most of
them were women. all eager to get a
glimpse at the unhappy woman who
stands charged with homicide They
were disappointed at the noon recess
by the prisoner being taken out the
back way, but at the close of the
hearing they made a wild rush to the
rear to see her as she came from the
alley in a closed carriage. Such

ter's appearance made a good impression,
but when the girl attempted to talk 10
him Hunter asked her TO speak a little
louder, and before she knew il she was
shouting at him. Then the girl came 20
her senses and fled. Hunter broke up the
dancers as he had the people in the din
ing room, but ne didn't seem TO notice it.
Long after most OF the guests had retired
I could hear the bartender shouting away;

Mr.. Hunter. Yes, I did. That's what
said
'In few minutes the bartender was
shouting the list of things that he had put
into milk punch for young Mr.. Hunter.
The noise was great, but hoped that Mr.
Hunter would drink enough 10 quiet him.
On the contrary, he walked up to bed at ?
o'clock in the morning as sober as a Judge
The bartender came UP and told me that
the blond kid was a wonder. The next day
was simply hades for everyone in the ho-
tel, except Hunter. He had all the en-
ployes shouting at him and several of our
guests left. Hunter left that night for
Florida and we all celebrated the event
Two months later in walked Mr.. Joseph
Hunter again and registered as from Con-

way, SO 1 shouted as loudly as I could:

" Is he deaf now?' I asked, and then 1

London, Nov. 21.-A number Of fire
engines are still playing upon the

are falling every now and then.
In spite Of the magnitude of the dis

About 300 firms are seeking for new

damage done range from $10.OOO.OOO

opinion, the loss IL about $1O.0O0.00O.

Every avenue leading to the scene Of

son why the fire assumed such gfgan-
tic dimensions was. first, because Of
the highly inflammnble character OF
the contents Of dry goods and tobac-
conist warehouses where 1t originated;
second, because of the extreme DIM
Guilty Of handling 1t effectively, owing
to the exceptional narrOwness OF the
surrounding streets. Few Of these
streets permit two vehicles to pass
abreast, and the fire brigade had there
fore great difficulty In manipulating
the engines and getting them Into po-
