WE had another fire early this
morning and 20 minutes after it
was first discovered the department
arrived. The building, which was
in the heart of the business center,
was not destroyed. owing to the
fact that the fire boys turned loose
two soda foun tains on the flames
before they had chance to spread.
Do not imagine for one moment
that the members Of the depart
ment are TO blame for the poor
handling of fires in Ardmore They
are a fearless, fine set of men, dl-
voted to their town and have al
ways done heroic work when called
upon. The inability to reach fires
and check confagrations promptly
is due to the lack of nearly every
thing that has been in use in towns
no larger than Ardmere for the
past decade. Instead of a set of
drop" harness. we have pillow
harness. instead of chemical apara-
tus, we use soda fountains, and in
stead of an electric alarm system
we use our guns and our voices,
and instead of water, we use nc
water Either let the city council
properly equip the department. OF
let the department be disbanded
It is not fair to the citizens and il
is not fair to the men who have sc
nobly volunteered to protect oul
homes from destruction by FIRE
that this ridiculous state of affair:
should exist longer.

IT would pay the city to employ
at least FIVE or six men armed with
the latest improved fire extinguish-
ers to patrol the principal business
streets from 10 O'Clock p. m. until
o'clock a. m. This would require
but a small outlay of the city, S
funds and probably save thousands
of dollars worth of property. and
the job should be permanent until
the long wished for waterworks is
in running order.

there for health. engage in some
business to pay expenses and con.
sequently nearly every line of bust

His FlaGship, the Chicago, VIII
 Start Soon After Oct. 25.
 Rear Admiral Schley's flagship, the Chicago, will start from New York to Cape Town as soon as possible after Oct. 25, when Rear Admiral Schley will raise his pennant.
 The mission of the Chicago will be to observe as much as she can at that re- mote distance from the Transvaal the operations between the British and the Boers if war should occur. The cruiser Montgomery, another of the vessels of Schley's command, will go also to South Africa. She is now at Pernambuco, Brazil, and will start thence immediate ly after the expected outbreak of hos tilities. The Chicago has just returned from South Africa. She went there as the flagship of Rear Admiral Howison, who was retired Tuesday, and Admiral Howison made journey overland to Pretoria and Johannesburg to ascertain the political situation in the Transvaal. If the necessity should arise. the Chica- go and the Montgomery will send their marine attachments overland to pro tect the United States consulates at Pre- toria and Johannesburg.
 Admiral Schley recently had an in- terview with Acting Secretary of the Navy Allen. and it was arranged that he should assume command of the south Atlantic station on Oct. 25. At Rear Admiral Schley's request Lieutenant Commander James M. Sears, at present on duty in connection with the battle ship Kearsarge, and Lieutenant Benja- min w. Wells, IT,, now on recruiting service in Chicago, will be assigned to his staff as flag lieutenant and flag sec retary respectively, the positions they held while with Schley on the Brooklyn in the Spanish-American war.

A vindictiye Reptile.

The fer-de-lance Is found on the h lands of Martinique and Santa Lucia, where the natives counteract Its virus with a decoction of jungle hemlock, and the basis of its grewsome reputa- ton seems to be the fact that 1t does not warn the intruders of It's haunts, after the manner of the cobra or the rattlesnake. but fattens its coils and, with slightly vibrating tail, awaits events.
 If the unsuspecting traveller should show no sign of hostile gntent, he may be allowed to pass unharmed within two yards of the coiled matadore, but a closer approach Is apt to be construed as a challenge, and the vivoron, sud- denly rearing It's ugly head. may scare the trespasser into some motion of self defense-he may lift his foot or brand ish his stick in a menacing manner. If he does, he Is lost. The lower coils will expand, bringing the business end, neck and all. few feet nearer; the head points like a leveled rifle, then darts forward with electric swiftness, guided by an unerring instinct for the selection of the least protected parts of the body.
 And the vindictlve brute Is ready to repeat it's bite. For a moment it rears back, trembling with excitement, and, If felled by blow of its victims stick, will snap away savagely at stumps and stones or even, like wounded pan- ther, at its own body.-Popular Science Monthly.

Stray For Patching Stock.

In all grain growing districts straw Is plentiful and where it is used as feed 1t is reokoned, and rightly, as food of very inferior nutrition. The idea of ssing it to feed fattening stock is said to have originated with Joseph J. Mechi, a London alderman, who gen. eration ago made his name famous by his writings on agricultural topics. He largely imported linseed meal for fat tening beeves. But he found that if cut hay was used to exceed the ration, only a small amount of the linseed meal could be eaten without cloying the animals. If clover was used, still less of the oil meal could be eaten. But when he used cut straw which has no proteids, good deal of meal could be eaten with relish, and the animals fat tened faster. But when he fed Indian cornmeal with cut straw. less of the cornmeal would be eaten than when fed with cut hay. This vindicates the prac. tice of American farmers, who feed
 much Indian corn and comparatively little oil meal. Cultivator.

Declares His Adherence to Brya,
 and Chicago Platform.


 and Chicago Platform.
 Senator James K. Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the Democratic national committee, has returned from England after an absence of five months.
 Senator Jones declared positively that William J. Bryan would be the next Democratic candidate for president and that the Chicago platform of 1896 would be reaffirmed, with the addition of anti imperialistic and antitrust blanks.
 Senator Jones denied that he had any intention of resigning the chairmanship of the national committee. He has been much improved in health by his trip abroad.
 Senator Jones is now in Washington. In few days he will leave for Arkansas. to remain for some time, thus making 1t improbable that he will take any active part in the fall campaign. Regarding the reported contemplated change in the headquarters of the national committee from Chicago to Washington, the chair. man declined to talk at length. saying. however, that the disposition of that matter will be left entirely in the hands of the vice chairman of the committee, Mr Johnson

A MURDER MYSTERY.
Parts of woman's Body Found I'm the
 North River.

North River.
 The mystery surrounding the identity of the mutilated woman, portions of whose body were found in West Seven teenth street, New York city, and in the North river on Saturday, is still un- solved. Several men and women have positively identified the dismembered DOT tions of the body which are still at the morgue, but so far those identi6cations have been without results, and it Is be- lieved that the persons making the iden- tifcation have been mistaken in the mat ter.
 Police Captain Price Is of the opin- lon that the authorities are confronted with a problem more difficult of solution than the Guldensuppe murder. Dr. Al bert T. Weston, coroner's physician, Is firmly convinced that the case is a repe- tition of the famous White Chapel mur- ders of London. The body of the victim has been mutilated in identically the same manner as were the unfortunates in the London crimes, certain organs be- ing missing from the portions found, and this, with other minor features, leads Dr. Weston to arrive at this opinion. The doctor said the lungs were normal, but that the victim had been. afflicted with a touch of plsurisy.
 So important is the case considered by the authorities that 1t has been trans ferred from Captain Price to Chief of Detectives McCluskey by order of Chief navary

Blakeman has been one of the leading men in the growth and busi- ness interests of the city, and among other distinctions 1t is believed that he is the oldest member of the Masonic order in the country.
