FIRE AT BLOCK ISLAND.
Mrs. Charles J. D:dgo and Two Childran Rays
Narrow ESrap9s.

The house of Charles r. Dodge, OF
| Ocean avenue. Block Island. was burned
| 10 the ground about yesterday morn
| ing. and the occupants. Mrs. Dodge and
her two children. were forced to jump
from second-story windows TO save
their lives. They were clad only i'm their
night clothing. and no help came to
their rescue for some little time after.
for ii was densely foggy and the flames
and smoke could not be seen at the next
house on the roadway.
The flames from the burning house
which was situated on a high knoll,
came very near destroying the Hygeia
hotel, the most modern and largest on
the north side of the island.
Mrs. Dodge ran TO the nearby houses,
ami also aroused the watchman. Rose
al the Hygeia, and they made an at
tempt 10 save some of her personal ef- |
fects.
The fire was caused by an exploding |
Kerosene lamp, and by the time the fire |
was discovered the lower part OF the |
Dodge house was all agre. MIR. Dodge |
was i'm Providence with one son whom /
the fire broke out.
Hon. j. II. Dodge owned the property. |
and had an insurance OF $500 on the |
house. which was valued at $1,000. The |
furniture was insured for 5000
But for Mrs. Dodge's plucky jump /
with her children Ii is conceded the ISL /
AMI would have had tragedy and |
perhaps a bis mystery today.

icle still another fire on wheels. AS L. F.
Ludwig was moving the goods of Trueman
Linscott from Rockland to this place on a
hay rack the goods caught fire in some un-
accountable manner, but probably from
smoking, and before it could be extinguished
a large part of the goods were damaged.
This is a particularly hard case, as Mr..
Linscott is poor man, and can i'll afford to
lose bis goods. Salmon were very much
in evidence last week. Seven small ones
were taken and more than that number lost.

she came to Paris like many other
American girls to study for the oper-
atlc stage. She was one of the sweetest
girls | ever met, and one who at once
Srasped the idea of what was wanted
and sought TO carry it out. She had a
voice of good quality, which she in
time learned to use properly. She had
no unusual struggles 10 so through
that | know of, but worked hard and
studied that she might become great
artist
From these facts it will be seen that
no great singer was born great. She
had TO work for everything she got.
would like to give my personal opin-
ion, based upon what | have gone
through and what l have seen other
students go through, IN regard 10 be-
coming a great singer.
Il do not believe great voice Is
necessary to become a great artist. IL
fact L have found that phenomena
voice acts upon its possessor like ar
intoxicating drink. He or she is mos
likely to fall in love with the voice
and that is the finish of any singer
The person who has to work for wha
he or she has is the one who will b'
ahe famous artist.
