W. M. Fullerton, of Hazelton, in
formed us on Saturday that w. F.
Burns had the misfortune to lose his
stable, harness, 800 bush els of corn
and eleven head of hogs, by fire on the
18th inst. The fire is supposed to have
been started from a straw pile 200
yards distant which was lighted the
day before and supposed to have been
completely burned up. The misfor-
tune works a great hardship on Mr..
Burns, especially at this time of the
year when work is rushing and money
and labor hard to get. Mr.. Burns car.

A patriotic match stand consists of
three rifles set in the form of tripod

Various patriotic novelties in silver

a different stone.

CONCERNING ROYALTY.

The empress dowager of China i.
Ga years of age. Her title runs as fol
lows: ''Tzu-his-tuan-yu-Kang-i-shao
yu-chuang-cheng-shoukung-chin- -hsier
'chang-hsi.'
The royal crown of Persia, which
dates back to remote ages, is in the
form of pot of flowers, surmounted
by an uncut ruby the size of a hens
egg.
Emperor William, always eager to
lead the way, likes good piece of
horsefiesh. His horses are usually of
English breed, although On rare occa-
sions he buys them in Germany.
The queen of Hollands chief hobby
is amateur acting. She takes the live
hest interest in dramatic art, and
never fails to attend the first nights al
the theaters.. A few years ago she had
a theater built. for her use at the Loo,
where plays are performed under her
direction.
The late Empress Elizabeth left a
vast fortune. She had a much larger
civil list than she ever spent, and her
surplus income was judiciously laid
out in purchasing property around
Vienna, which was bought very cheap,
but is now covered with buildings, and
enormously valuable.

BEFORE THE CAMERA.

No photographer can keep Della
FoX's eyes on the ground. She always
gazes upward when her picture is be.
ing taken.
Edna Wallace Hopper when she is
photographed will take a smile, thank
you. She insists also upon dash of
mischief in her eyes.
Annie Russell has not line of vanity
i'll her makeup. Miss Russell is blessed
with strong, expressive face and Miss
Russell is sensible and pleasant, the
photo men say.
Lillian Russell is one of the best SUBJ
jects the photographer ever had. She
does not think she knows more about
the camera than the artist at the ma
chine and allows him to pose her.
Maude Adams is natural. She has
nothing to conceal, nothing to affect.
Her pictures are Maude Adams, and
anyone who saw her would remember
her without the usual necessity of a
key in the shape of a name.
Olive Redpath, of "The French Maid"
company, always makes her appear
ance, it will be noticed, with the same
old smile. The reason is that Miss Red
path has pretty, pretty dimple in her
cheek. You can never see it unless Miss
Redpath shows her teeth.

ATE DURING THE FIGHT.

1t seems that Admiral Schley and
Capt. Cook sat down to dinner while
the Brooklyn was chasing the unfor.
tunate but gallant Colon. There's
American assurance for you, says the
Kansas City Star. At the close of a
tremendously important battle, which
settled war and changed the map of
the world, the commanders on the
United States flagship, pursuing at top
speed the last of the enemy, whose
guns still belched defiance, sat down to
dinner, which, no doubt, was served in
style and with a strict regard for gas
Economical etiquette.
II will have q bit Of the tomato
SOUP" remarked the admiral. "Ah
that must have been a five and ons-half
inch shell, eh, captain?"
Sounds like it-pass me the celery"
replies Capt. Cook.
With the cheese and black coffee and
cigars the enemy is overhauled and
driven ashore, the Spanish sailors dot
ting the sea like drowning rats and the
aged Cervera tearing his beard in the
agony OF disaster. Then, after quaffing
chartreuse, the American admiral ap-
pears on deck and orders all boats low

lives OF the saturated Spaniards.|

CORNER DRUG STORES.
The Rapidly Multiplying Saloons Are
CrOwdinS Them from Their
FavOrite Place.

The corner drug store, with ito fash.
ing colored lights, is destined to event
ua4ly disappear. The drug store of the
not far distant future will be in the
center OF blocks, especially in the
downtown and business districts.
Whether this will be due to the march
OF progress is another story. The sa-
looms will occupy the corners as a rule.
In Broadway, New York, there are not
half dozen drug stores on prominent
corners from the Battery to Central
park. The saloons and other businesses
outbid the druggists in the matter of
rents. Tho drug business has been
badly invaded by dealers in other lines,
who have added to their general stocks
patent medicines, fancy goods, toilet
articles, and the thousand and, one
things no one thought of seeking out.
slde OF drug store few years ago.
But the drug stores still hold on to the
profitless but accommodating trade in
postage stamps.
Already in Chicago, says the Chron-
icle, "the middle of the block" knows
several drug stores, and as leases ex-
pire i'll the coming years there will be
many removals to similar locations bv
prominent downtown stores, all on &C.
count OF higher rentals offered by
other lines of business, most frequent
~ from liquor dealers. Already sa-
looms have been built around several
downtown corner pharmacies in IL"
shape, and the owners are eagerly
awaiting the time when an opportunity
will come for them to outbid the drug
men for the corner space.

Mystery OF a disappearing Cargo.


The mystery of the disappearance of
part of the cargo of the schooner Chal-
mer two years ago, while bound from
BALTIMORE to Savannah, has been
solved by an examination of the vessel
at Philadelphia, where she has been
undergoing repairs. Ten tons of phos-
phate, the missing merchandise, were
located between the inner ceiling and
the outward planking, where it had
worked two years ago while the vessel
was storm-tossed at sea. 1t was neces
sary to cut away part of the planhng
on the inside and outside of the vessel
to remove the phosphate, the work oc-
cupying over a week. The vessel had
lost her insurable interest, and it was
while the trouble was being inquired
into that the missing cargo was discov-
cred.
