me the secret of how to grow beautiful.
She said that hot milk was sure cure

told me If / was properly nourished my
complexion would become clear and
would take on flesh. She advised me
to begin drinking four glasses Of hot
milk every day, taking one with each
meal and one just before going to bed,
and also to wash my face in hot milk at
bed time. In a week felt like another

Burned to DEATH.
Addie F. Brown, a Young Domestic,
Meets With a Fnghtful Accident-Fu-
neral on Wednesday.

Addie f. Brown, aged 10 years. en-
plOyed as domestic in the family O.
John Green, at No. AGO State street
met with most distressing and fata
accident about 4:30 O'Clock, Monda,
afternoon, and at O'Clock this morn.
Ing, twelve hours after the fatality
chronicled below, death relieved the
unfortunate girl of her sufferings.
MISS Brown had been employed for
several months as q domestic and as a
! nurse OF the children of Mr.. and Mrs
| Green, both OF whom are employed IN
the Salem WoOlen Mills. Monday
Miss Brown, who was most faithful
and Industrious girl, did the small
family washing and other tasks that
are usually disposed of on that day.
Having completed the work subse.
quent to serving the MONDAY meal
and feeling slightly sindisposed, Miss
Brown, having replenished the small
stove with wood, stretched herself
upon the floor beside the stove in the
dining room hoping to enjoy a few
moments Of quiet and repOse, before
preparing the evening meal
Unfortunately the wood used in the
stove was longer than the fire-box
making it necessary to leave the stove
door open until the wood had burned
sufficiently TO permit OF the door be-
ing shut. Miss Brown, however, fell
asleep and her clothes were ignited
from the projecting ends of the wood
In the stove which fell out of the
door.
The girl was suddenly aroused
from her deep sleep and found her
clothes ablaze. Attempting to
tear them from her person, she
rushed onto the back porch where she
was overcome by the cruel flames and
fell. The little son of r. w. Carey,
who lives next door, heard the girls
cries for help aud promptly notified
bis father who, with his daughter,
having seized some rugs, ran 20 the
glrls assistance and promptly ex-
tinguishedthe flames.
Physicians were sent for and every
thing was done to alleviate the pain
Of the unfortunate girl. After
short time she regained conscious.
ness and related to Mrs. Green the
story of the fearful accident as above
given.
An examination of the girl showed
that her hands, arms, face, chest and
abdomen and left thigh were fright
fully burned. Later IN the evening
she was removed to the Salem hos
pltal that she might be afforded better
medical care. But despite the best
Of care, the girl died at o'clock this
morning.
The unfortunate young girl is the
daughter of w. f. Brown, ex night
watchman at the WOolen Mill. Mr..
Brown was in Portland yesterday and
was notified OF the unfortunate ac-
cldent. The girls mother resides
near Marion and a messenger was
last night dispatched for her.
