FIREBUG AT WORK.
Strong Evidence That Some Person
Is Trying to Wipe Out the Evans
Building, in Which Is Proth-
eroe e. Watkins Store.

A disastrous fire which had every ap-
pearance of being of incendary origin
broke out at 11.55 o'clock last night in
the main floor of Protheroe & Watkins
grocery and dry goods store, 2O3 South
Main avenue.
The building is a two story brick
structure and the basement and first
floor were occupied by Protheroe &,
Watkins, While Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
II. House resided on the second floor.
The flames appeared to break out
in several places simultaneously and
before the arrival of the fireman had
gained alarming headway. The Colum-
bias, Franklin and Hook and Ladder
companies responded to the alarm and
after quite a hard fight succeeded at
last in getting the blaze under control.
An examination of the premises re-
vealed the fact that the door leading
from the ground floor to the cellar was
open and a large can of oil was found
upon the stairs. The door leading
from the cellar to the yard was also
open. Several persons state that
they saw man running from this door
few minutes before the fire was dis
covered and the parties living upstairs
say they heard noice in the store at
about the same time. The basement
was set on fire in mysterious manner
few days ago and it is considered
more than probable that some firebug
has been at work.
The stock in the store. which was
valued at $4,000, is almost DESTROYED
by fire and water The firm carries
$4,000 insurance. The building is owned
by Evan j. Davis, who carries 81 500
insurance. The upstairs portion was
not damaged.

effective A pretty device were clus-

HIS HEALTH WOULD NOT ADMIT II

New York-Admiral Dewey has given
to the Manila correspondent OF Leslie's
Weekly, an interview regarding the sug-
gestion that the admiral be made can
didate for the presidency next year.
The admiral said, as to his politics:
IL am sailor. sailor has no poll
tics. The administration is his party,
Republican or Democrat, it makes no
difference Then, again, l come from
Vermont and you know what that means
To be anything but Republican in
Vermont is to be man without party
He tells me that to be anything but a
Democrat in the South is to be nobody.

Have you ever voted?" the cores
pondent asked.
"Yes; years ago, but my vote was
usually influenced by preference or local
conditions. am not politician, have
never held political office, and am totally
|.ignorsnt OF party intricacies and affilia-
tions."
Admiral Dewey said that neither by
vocation, disposition, education, nor
training was he capac tated to I'LL the
presidency. He said that he was too
we'll along in life to consider such pos
sibility. His health would not admit OF
it. All this life's work was in different
lines Of effort. and that, while the kind
ness and enthusiasm OF his friends were
grateful to him and the generous trib-
ties Of the American people were dear
to him. he could not and would not be a
candidate for the presidency OF the
United States under any conditions.

RUINED BY FORCE OF EXAMPLE.
An Initiative Dog Becomes n Drunkard
Because a Rooster Tippled.

From the New York Sun.
A peculiar instance of what bad exam
pie will do is illustrated in the case of a
rooster and a dog owned by the keeper of
a suburban road house. The man had
run a saloon in this city for a number
of years, but being possessed of a fond
ness for country life he recently decided
to crafty his tastes and he opened a
road house not far from the High bridge.
He was fond of hens, and one of the first
things he did was to get a number of
them. In the bevy was a big rooster and
it wasn't long before the former saloon
keeper noticed that the rooster was fire.
quently in the barroom He soon dis
covered that the attraction for the bird
was one of the regular customers. Every
time this customer came in he would
soak scraps of bread in beer and throw
them to the rooster WHICH devoured them
with apparent relish. AS the man made
a number of trips to the bar each day, it
soon fell out that the rooster was in
variably tipsy by evening. In this con-
dition the rooster would perform all kinds
of antics, much to the amusement OF a
crowd of loungers.
But here is where the bad example part
of the story comes in. The saloon keeper
has a fine Newfoundland dog of which
he is especially fond. For six years the
dog has been around the city saloon with
out showing the slightest liking for in
toxicants. AS soon, however, as the dog
saw the means by which the rooster be-
came so hilarious he began to devote at
tention to the drip pans under the beer
kegs. the dregs in which he greedily
drank. In short time the dog had the
beer habit" too. This greatly annoyed
the road house keeper, and in his wrath
he decided to kill the rooster, hoping that
by doing away with the "evil influence
as he put 1t, the dog would reform. But
it was of no use. and now the dog has
become an inveterate topper and may be
seen daily staggering about the bar
room a sad example Of canine depravity.
