Burned to the GrOund.-Last Friday
morning between and 8 o'clock the resi-.
dence of Mr.. Andrew Braid took fire and
burned to the ground. The loss of the build
ing and its contents was complete.
Mr.. Braid is connected with the coast
and geodetic survey and about Two or three
years ago he built himself comfortable and
rather pretentious dwelling between Fen
wick and Woodside, about eight miles from
Washington. It was two story and attic
structure, built OF frame on a substantial
brick foundation. 1t cost about $4,000 and
was handsomely furnished. 1t was used
for the most part 10 the summer, and in Oc-
tober the family go to Washington. The
house was handsomely furnished, but no
care taker was left in charge, and it is said
that a considerable amount of valuable sill.
yerware was stored in the attic.
Mrs. Morris, whs lives near by, looked
out about O'Clock. Everything was quiet
then, but when she looked out again at 6
the Braid house was in flames. The fire
appeared TO have started in three places
at once, in the front and back parlor and
on the ground floor. An alarm was given
but the fire had gained such Roadway thai
when the neighbors reached the spot there
was no chance to save anything. Mr., BraiC
had fine collection of minerals and
handsome library, both Oi which were de
stroyed.
Toe opinion is general in the neighbOr
hood that the house was entered by tramp
for the purpose of robbery and that they Sc
il on fire to cover their tracks.

THE UNITED CHARITIES
Had Busy Day Yesterday-All Worthy
 Applicants Get Assistanee-"Weary Willies" Needed Out.

One of the busiest places in Birming- ham yesterday morning was the office of the United Charities. There were con- stant callers, and the secretary, Miss Isabel Dangaix, was as busy as a bee. The work has now been systematized and is conducted on business principles. All worthy applicants get assistance. They are given some sort of work to supple ment the aid by the society. This plan has resulted in running off the Weary Williss"-they have been weeded out. The chronic charity seekers, those who want something without work have learned to give the United Charities a wide berth. One application of dose of work has cured many chronic charity patients. list is kept of those who are worthy of being helped. On this list is found those who are skilled in the diff ferent handicrafts. The secretary re- quests those citizens who have sewing, laundry work, etc, to give out to please send in their names, and guarantees that the work will be well done. The United Charities is doing a good work for the community, and all honor to the noble ladies who manage it's affairs in such an admira ble manner. >,s

The people of Oregon have come

had too much railroad commission,
and the legislature of the state is
about TO repeal the law. One of
the arguments used against the
commission is that the beard has
reduced rates so far that the PEG.
pie have been saved a million dol
lars "taken from the railroads and
saved to the farmer"
Despite this saving, crops have
not been larger, nor can the farm
ers see where they have been spe-
cially benefited. Thoy find that
the railroads have been impover.
ished by making them stand the
burden of hard times, and no more
capital will 90 into the state for
investment in railroads. The PEG.

little higher aud get the benefit OF

bers OF the commission is quoted
as saying, in view of these things:
The commission is doomed; pub.
lie sentiment demands its repeal. /"
And this is because the board went
too far in laying its hands on the
roads. The commissioners prob.
ably thought they were playing TO
popular favor when they were re.
ducing the rates, but they over.

The Razor-B Backs.

The razor.back is a breed of
hogs raised in the south before the
war, and still to be found in some
localities. He Is built on the
Swiss cottage style of architecture.
His ears lay back with a devil
may-care-air. His tail has no curl
but hangs as limp as a disbrag.
The highest part OF his corrugated
back is ten inches above the root
of his tall. lie ignores the slow
stately walk of the Berkshire, and
goes in a lively 2:l0 trot. He
always travels as If he was trying
to catch a train which had Just
whistled for the station and he had
just quarter of a mile to go. The
thoroughbred razor-back prowls
around in the woods, living on
acorns, nuts and roots, and, if
necessary, can climb tree like a
monkey. Occasionally he crowds
