FIRES AT PERRYVILLE.
TWO BARNS DESTROYED WITH
THEIR CONTENTS.
Numerous Fires of Late Around the
Town, Point to the Presence of
"Fire Bug" There.

Within the past week two serious fires have
occurred near Perryville, entailing consider
loss to property and stock. Shortly after
three o'clock on Sunday morning, the large
barn at "Woodlands' the home OF Joseph
Coudon, was burned to the ground, and on
Tuesday morning about the same hour the
barracks, stables and straw rick on the farm
OF George W. Sutton was leveed to the
ground by flames. The contents Of the
buildings in both cases were consumed.
The fire on Sunday morning on the prop.
erty OF Mr.. Coudon was discovered by Joseph
Busher, the night operator at Woodlawn
tower, nearby, on the Philadelphia, Whining
ton and Baltimore Railroad. who quickly
alarmed Mr.. Coudon, but by which time the
flames had gained such headway as to make
the work OF saving the contents impossible
carriages, moving machine, cart, sulkey, har-
ness, implements, and such other articles as
were in the doomed building were lost.
The barn was considered one OF the finest
in the county, and on the building alone the
loss will reach fully $1,000. The insurance
amounts to "a 1000.
Tuesday mornings fire. on the farm of Mr.
Sutton, caused loss of fully $2.750, Of which
amount $3.50 is sustained by the tenant on
the place, George NJ. D. Forwood, who lost
four horses, two COWS, provender, farming
implements, and all his machinery with the
exception of moving machine and horse
rake. The loss to Mr.. Sutton upon the build
Ing and provender owned by him, is esti-
mated at about $4,000. half covered by nsur-
ance, placed in the Hartford, Of Connecticut
through Vanneman & Carver. agents, Port
Deposit Mr.. Forwood carried no insurance
The fire was discovered by Miss Annie Sutton
who called her father, and who in turn
aroused the family of Mr.. Forwood.
The origin OF the fire in both cases Is un-
known. and the fact that these make total
of four fires within the past two months, the
origins OF which are unknown, leads many in
that neghborhood to think that they have
flrebug in their midst.
The last fires referred to were Sept. %
barn on the Lamden farm, and that the
burning of the barn of Joseph Coudon, cor
Henry, several days later. The large resi-
dence Oh the property of Mr.. Sutton, was
another loss sustained by him by fire about
year ago. The officials are making a thorough
investigation Of the matter and every effort
will be put forth to bring the incendiary to
justice should one exist.

Bah WRITES ON MIDSUMMER TOPICS

The normal American girl has a small
waist Nature generally gives her q
good figure. but all the women who have
lost their figures through age or careless
ness insist upon downing the one woman
whose shape is good. In the old, old days
the scandalmonger used to have to SIT III
the stocks. What pity they don re-
yive that custom now!
Women say the most horrible things
about women without t1inching, ana
the summer sun which makes all the
weeds spring up. seems to bring the
scandalmonger to the fore with them.
It's none of your business and it's none
of mine where woman gets her clothes'

places and we may be thankful If our
own account on the book of life is as

wicked people. The scandalmonger elects

that she knows they are fast women,t that

gained all this information. Good wo-
men take it for granted that all other
women are good. 1t is only the women
who have gone through the mill who
can carefully pick out the chaff from
the wheat. However, it's much better
in your summer book to blot out the

FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN.

Where lutte and harp ana cymbal shake
The soul to centers that release
The living fires of joy. We'll wake;
From solitudes, from tufted hill,
From sunny field and dewy brake,
From forests where the hidden rill
Weeps low, Wen wake:
As leaves unfold.
As stars break bold
In northern skies,
From pale to gold
In that great company.
From wilderness of Wild, wild rose
That drifts the sunrise rose to greet,
From dells where pearly blooms repose
BY waters fleet;
As wave to moon
As daffodil
To yellow sun,
Lost is the will
To that great company.
From voice Of bird of golden gong,
OF solver string of sylvan horn,
That sings infnitudes long song:
| From dusk to dawn,
From dawn to light,
From president dreams,
| OF music streams
Drawn by the might
! To that great company.
| rom tones resounding like Tyre.
! OF human concourse kind and sweet,
From eyes that beam with loving fire,
Hearts are replete:
| AS lip to lip
! In infant kiss,
As smile to smile
! In youthful bliss
Is that great company.
From clouds that drift with rythm high
| Ger mountains crowned by aureate day
From memories that breathe a sigh
And turn away:
| From earth to space,
From space to spar
OF glorious pace,
Not sun or star
To that great company.
From pulses quickened to aspire,
From tongues of euolgy or blame,
From bloom that pales before the dire,
From fate and fame;
As elements
To life combine,
Soul cerements
Pass to divine
In that great company.
And all the fervid being felt
OF beauty, of sublimity,
Into one vision vast will melt
Divinity!
As dew to breath
OF vapor film,
As roses wealth
To pollen rim
To that great company.
lWhere lutte and harp and cymbal shake,
The soul to centers that release
The living fires of joy, We'll wake;
From shadow of the loved ones spent,
Hunting, with Heaven, the ways of earth
From militant to triumphant,
And not from dearth:
As blessings flow
From heart to heart,
From wing to wing
Will currents start
In that great company.
