MINES WILL NOT BIZ DESTROYED

WILL NOT BE TAKEN APART, BUT
LEFT READY FOR ENIERGEN-
CIES.
The mines off Fort Delaware will not
be blown up, but will instead be taken
up, and stored as they are, ready for
any emergency. The work OF taking
them up began to-day.
II wac at first thought that it might
be advisable to blow up the mines, as
there would be more or less danger in
taking them apart. They are new,
however, and can be taken up and
stored to advantage as they are, with
out being taken apart. Late last week
Colonel Raymond wrote to Washington
for further directions regarding the
mines, and the decision to take Them
up is the result of the directions asked
for. The work will be in charge Of Ma
jor Cosby, OF the Engineering Depart
ment. Il will probably be two or three
days before navigation at night will be
permitted as It is desired to make the
channel perfectly safe before free navi-
cation is restored.

For Gods sake, save me, strike the
alarm!" This was the cry that start
led the neighbors on East Eighth street
between Market and King this morn
ing. The cry came from the lips Of
Mrs. Ragey, an aged woman, as she
ran into the street with her clothing
ablaze. The horrible sight Of a woman
enveloped in flames paralyzed The pc
destrians and no one needed her cries.
until Wilmer Stewart, who keeps a
barber shop across the street from
Ragey's dyeing establishment, and
Howard Shuster ran to her assistance.
They pulled of their coats and
wrapped them around the burning
woman. The heroic efforts of Stewart
and Shuster to save the woman proved
an incentive for others to help in the
work, and someone appeared with a
blanket and a garden hose, which was
turned on Mrs. Ragey The blaze out,
she was carried into the store, in the
front Of the establishment, and the
Phoenix ambulance was sent for. She
was then taken to the Homeopathic
Hospital.
The smell OF burning flesh WIS stiff
ling, and II permeated the air to such
an extent that persons standing around
the fire held their noses. Quick were
che district engines TO respond to the
alarm, and soon streams OF water were
playing on the burning dye-house.
After Mrs. Ragey had been taken to
the hospital her daughter, Marie, made
her way through the clouds OF steam
and tongues OF fire. She, too, was
ablaze and the work OF saving her
went on. In the meantime Mr.. Ragey,
who has been in this country thirty
years and does not speak a word OF
English. came out OF the dye-house

burned One-half OF his beard is gone
The daughter was badly burned and II

Mistaken Identity.

The resemblance between Chauncey NJ.
Depew, the distinguished New York rail-
road president and statesman, and the late
Adam Forepaugh the circus king, was
wonderfully striking, and Chauncey was
frequently mistaken for Adam, and vice
versa. This similarity in personal appear
ance led to a number of very ludicrous
mistakes, says an exchange.
A few years ago, while Forepaugh's big
show was in winter quarters in Philadei-
phia, one of the baby elephants was rent
ed out to the management of an opera
company it being utilized to give realism
10 an Oriental scene. The opera company
closed it's season the latter part Of March,
and the baby elephant was shipped back
to Philadelphia in charge of the agent of
the company. The elephant was left in
the car. and the agent went down town to
the Continental Hotel, where he had made
an appointment to meet Mr. Forepaugh,
whom he knew and had frequently met
Chauncey M. Depew happened to be at
the hotel a the time. He had been invited
over to Philadelphia to dinner given by
the famous Clover Club, and when the
opera companys agent entered he was
standing near the desk talking to one OF
the clerks. The agent instantly spotted him
for Adam Forepaugh.
Good morning." ne said. I'm glad to
see you"
Delighted, I'm sure" answered Chaun-
cey, with a puzzled look on his face, as
though trying to remember where he had
seen the agent
You got my letter, of course?"
'No-yes-weil, no. 1 can't say that l
did" and the puzzled look deepened on
Chauncey's face.
"Oh, weH,'' said the agent. cit doesn't
make any difference; the baby's here"
The-baby's--here%'
"Why, yes; it arrived this morning. What
shah L do with it?'
DO with what?"
"Why. the baby"
'What baby?"
THE baby elephant"
A light broke over Chauncey's face. "My
dear fellow" he said, who do you take
me for?"
For Adam Forepaugh."
Chauncey began to laugh. "Great Gaze
ear!' he exclaimed. That's the fourth
time I've been mistaken for Mr. Fore
paugh since l have been in Philadelphia
and in every town 1 strike 1 have at least
one experience of the kind. My names De-
pew-I'm Chauncey Depew."
Then they both laughed, and the agent
went off to find the read Mr.. Forepaugh.

THE DISPOSITION OF SEWAGE.

There is an interesting fight pending
between the cities of st. Louis and Chi
cago. 1t involves the question of the right
of cities and towns to make free use of
rivers and streams for the disposition Of
their sewage, and the highest courts, and
probably Congress also, may be called
upon to render verdicts in the matter.
AS Is very well known, Chicago is build
ing a great canal to divert all of the city's
sewage from Lake Michigan, where it is
now being emptied, into the Illinois river
The Illinois empties into the Mississippi,
and st. Louis gets her water supply from
the Mississippi II is the contention Of the
latter city that the mass of Chicago 5
sewage, which undiluted amounts at pres
to 10000 cubic feet a minute and is con-
stantly increasing, being poured into the
Illinois will inevitably contaminate the
supply from which st. Louis drinking
water is drawn. Sewage from other towns
is now being poured into the rivers above
st. Louis; add Chicago's quota to that
which now goes into the rivers and ST.
Louis believes the result would be some
thing terrible. She says she does not
want to be forced to drink any such water
and that Chicago has no right to con-
taminate her water supply. She has spent
$l4OoO,OOO in perfecting a water system
which Chicago Is likely to render useless
unless she is restrained.
Chicago, on the other hand, asserts that
ST. Louis is unnecessarily alarmed; that
there is absolutely no danger of the pollu-
ton of the water supply. 1t is pointed
out that it is $50 miles from Chicago to
ST. Louis by the water way which the
stream from the Chicago drainage canal
would take. Before travelling half of that
distance, 1t is claimed, the sewage would
be purified by sun and air, and that when
the water reached the intake of the 81.
Louis water works 1t would be as pure a
healthful as that which st. Louis las
been drinking for many years. Nature.
says Chicago, will take care of the purity
of the water; except for natures beni}i-
cent processes of Surifying streams, every
brook and river in the world would be
reeking of pestilential germs. Further
more, Chicago says the canal has been IN
der construction for a number of years.
and its purpose was never a secret If
st. Louis had objections to make, she
should have made them long ago. Up TO
the present time Chicago has spent $780,
100000 on the canal, and she does not pro-
pose TO sink all of this money merely out

Expected Living Burial.

The Rev.Dr. Henry C.McCook says in the
Philadelphia Press: "There is no doubt
that many of the Spaniards after the bat
tie of Santiago believed that the Ameri-
cans would shoot all captives. A touch
ing story at Ell Caney that shows this
feeling was related by staff officer. Aft
er the capture of the fort that crowned
the hill a burial party under Capt. Allen
proceeded to inter the Spanish dead,
which was done by laying them in their
own trenches dug before the breastworks,
as was also done at San Juan. Nearby
lay a lad of II, shot through the hips.
AS the bodies of his comrades were borne
behind them he would turn his head and
follow the sad work with a horror-strick-
en- eountenance. The American officer OBJ
served his face, and rightly discerning
his feelings, called an interpreter and as
sured the youthful soldier that no harm
would be done him. ''Shall l not be buried
alive, along with my dead comrades?"
was the anxious query.
mo, no! You shall be cared for pres
emily, and your wounds dressed and tend
ed as if you were an American"
The youths face was instantly trans
formed. His horror was changed to nap
piness, his fear TO friendship. He reach
ed out his hand to Capt. Allen with pro-
fuse thanks, and until he was taken to
the hospital showed his gratitude by shak-
ing hands with every American who came
near. Poor lad! And he, too, is a moth
ers son, and some anxious hearted dame
awaits his coming in distant Spain. May
her love and longing have no disappoint-

clay as a stump Orator.

A single piece of ready wit. which saw
ed Mr.. Clay from overwhelming defeat at
a critical moment, affords an excellent ex-
ample of the demands made upon the
stump orator, says the Youths Compan-
ion.
In 1916 Mr.. Clay voted for a new COM
pensation act of Congress. 1t aroused a
tornado of popular wrath. Not even the
great commoner could stand against this,
and he sagaciously resolved 10 try and
weather it. Meeting a stanch supporter
who had turned against him, he said:
Jack, you have a good flint-lock haven't

mo, 1 picked the flint and tried it

"Wen,' said Mr.. Clay. II have only
flashed once-on this compensation bill
and are you going to throw me away?"
Nor cried the hunter, touched in his
tenderest part mo, Mr.. Clay, 1 will
pick the flint and try you again.
When all else failed, a simple illustra-
tion drawn from everyday life sufficed to
reach those brave and hardy frontiers
men.
