husbands of my daughters with the

What is that?" Mr.. Biddlethwaite

A SMALL BLAZE.
But for the Chemical Engine It
Might Have Been Serious.

About $50 o'clock last night a fire
started in the rear part of the building
at PIG street, which is occupied by
Mrs. NJ McGrath, the front portion be-
ing used as a cigar store.
The firemen were on the ground in a
few minutes, and the new chemical en-
CINE again proved it's value. The flames
were smothered almost instantly, and
as no water was used no damage ex-
cept from smoke was done to the stock
of goods.
The building is owned by Alex Nor
rison, and the loss will not exceed $50.
Chief Guthrie believes the fire started
from a telephone wire from which the
insulation had been worn, and which
passed through closet in which cloth
ing was hanging.

Admiral Dewey,s Sword.

1.-THE Sword of Bunker Hill'' will per-
haps be eclipsed in history by the sword
which has been made for Admiral
Dewey, the victor of Manila Bay, says
Miss Carolyn Wells in the st. Nicho-
las" This weapon. authorized by Con-
gfess in June, $685. is now completed,
and in wealth of decora ton, is worthy to
take a place among the jeweled swords
described in the Arabian Nights. >
Both blade and scabbard are of steel,
but overlaid entirely with pure gold,
and all other parts are of solid gold ex-
quisitely wrought.
The steel blade was made at the
United States arsenal at Springfield,
and is finely tempered to the exact de-
gree Of f1exibility required to make a
perfect sword blade. This blade, grace
full in shape and we'll balanced, is da-
maskeened with gold on which is en-
graved this inscription: THE gift of
the nation to Rear Admiral George
Dewey, U. S. n. In memory Of the
victory at Manila Bay, May l, 1898"
Further ornamentation on the blade
consists of a procession of Phoenician
galleys, elnblematic of sea power a
flight of eagles, the symbols of our ma
ton, and festoons of laurel, signifying
glory.
Olympia is engraved on the pom
mel of the sword also a device repre-
senting Capricornus, which is the zodi-
acal sign for December, the month in
which Dewey was born. On the collar
of the sword are the arms and shield
of our country, and below them the
arms of Vermont, the Admirals native
State, and it's motto, Freedom and
Unity" These are enameled in colors,
and the; collar is further decorated with
stars and oak leaves. The grip or
handle of the sword is covered with
shagreen, or shark skim held in place
by gold wire, and studded with gold
stars, while the guard represents a fly
ing eagle bearing in its beak a laurel
wreath.
On the golden scabbard is the mono
gram &c. d." and below this "U. s..
N" These letters and sprays of ros-
marinus, which is delicate sea plant
signifying fidelity and remembrance,
are set with $50 diamonds of the first
water. The sprays are interlaced in a
series, with a star in the center of
each, and a row of swimming dolphins
on each side. The scabbard is further
ornamented with designs of oak leaves
and acorns, and the ferule, or lower
end is formed by two gold dolphins
gracefully twined together
The belt is of specially woven ma
terial, with buckles, slide rings and
swivels all of gold and ornamented with
oak leaves and acorns, while the bull
lion tassel and trappings are much
handsomer than those usually made,
being of chosen material and finished
with especial care
