Alarm of Fire.

lust about the time business began to
stir Wednesday an alarm of fire was
sounded and in few minutes a crowd oil
people were on the streets and followed
the Fire Department to the place, which
was the cause of the alarm.
The cause of the alarm was at the
home of Mrs. Annie Hess, 2I2 L. Martin
street. Aunt Serena Flowers. the cook,
was getting breakfast on the coal oil stove
She was only hired by Mrs. Hess on
Monday and was not used to handling an
oil stove and turned the oil on too freely
It ran down into the flame and caught,
making big blaze. "Auntie" became
excited and screamed with all her might.
In the meantime the flames began to
creep up the walls. The building was
about to catch, when Mrs. Hess and
neighbors, attracted by the screams, ran
into the room. Mrs. Hess, with quiet
presence of mind, reached her hand into
the flame and grabbed the tank and
threw it out the door. A garden hose
was attached and water thrown on the
flames and what might have been a seri-
Gus fire was averted. Only the paper and
some inside woodwork of the kitchen
was burned.

HAWAIIAN CANOE.

The Marquesas? From Hawaii, far
across the Western sea.
Tahiti? From Hawaii III the West.
Raratonga? From Awaiki, land
in the West and down to the leeward.
The Maori of New Zealand? From
Hawaiki.
All of these families tell of the tenn
pestuous voyages of their ancestors
from this mysterious land, of which all
retain the name. Il was the home of
the race in the beginning 1t was at
that home that they learned to become
sailors and ocean Adventures. The
only family of the Polynesian race
which does not begin in legend of Il
dangerous tl.p across the waters is the
Samoan They believe that the earth
was made ut their archipelago, that
they are themselves the first race of
human beings. Ethnalogists are agreed
on one point; they acknowledge that
even if Samoa is not the nest of the
Polynesian race. still its largest island,
Savaii, is carried in all these traditions
as at least the place of the final dis
persiQn of these colonies.
This gives us the shortest and the
most direct line in the evolution of
naval construction. BY it we can judge
how primitive man first essayed TO
build ships. primitive man who was
not afraid of the water. Compared with
the brown race of the South Sea, the
Tyrian navigators of remote antiquity
and the Viking royers of more recent
ages are nothing but longshoremen.
We are able to see in the present day
what the primitive savages did in re-
mote ages when he ventured on the
sea. The Polynesian vessel is type
which has been reserved with almost
absolute uniformity in all the wander
ing families of that race. 1t is the type
of what the floating log became when
human ingenuity VAS eXerted to ut
it for emergencies which arose early in
savagery.
AS Samoa is acknowledged TO be the
dispersal centre of the Polynesian race,
the Samoan type of vessel may not i'm
properly be assumed as containing all
the elements of naval architecture as

Important Notice.

To the people of Martinsburg and Berk-
eley county:
'Tis with pleasure | come to you with
this. my second notice. My occupation
is giving to the people pure, wholesome
water to drink. In my last message in
this paper told you / had my we'll Dor
ing machine in this neghborhood, and
if you wanted good water at small cost
to give me your order. So many of you
did so that found it necessary to bring
my second machine among you and with
two machines have been pushing the
work almost night and day / appreci-
ate the patronage you have given me.
1t has been more than | could expect,
but there are still Others who need wells
on their farms and at their residences
who have not heard of my good work
and very low prices. To these | come
and ask you to enquire about my work
and prices. Ask the following parties /
drilled for about me and my work. If
you meet them ON the street talk with
them about their wells. If not lose
drop them card: G. w Buxton, O.
Nj. Thomas, Corban Tabler, Route No.

Bedington, w. Va, and others too nu-
merous to mention. All are highly
pleased with their wells. Just ask them

We have quite number or good men
contracted with now, and one machine
| is at Mr.. Leidig's, on the Runkel farm

We commend to all Democratic
" aunties and obstructonists the follow
ing patriotic clipping from the Nashville
TENNESSEE American, leading Demo-
cratic journal in the South:
The United States is the only power
holding sovereignty over the Philippines,
and the Filipinos have no rights except
such as may be granted to them by this
nation. That they will be granted the
same rights and privileges as are guar
anteed to every free-born American citizen,
except the right to enjoy Statehood, is as
certain as it is that the glorious banner
now kissing the tropical breezes at Manila
will never be hauled down. Could they
ask more? Does any American who
loves his country and who esteems the
right to life, liberty, and the pursuit OF
happiness as among the greatest OF
earthly blessings desire to give them less;
No, no, the World and its followers to
the country Notwithstanding.
That is the way to write. The flag is
there to stay, and it will never come
down or depart, until law and order reign
in the Philippines, and these little traitors
who whine and wheeze, threaten anc
shout, are making themselves ridiculous
They remind one of a swarm of gnat:
trying to darken the sun, and should be
laughed to scorn.

sideration OF three bids for the erection D
the vaults, Wednesday, decided TO aware

BLOODY KNIVES L SCALPS AND
GORE.

There is blood on the moon. There is
political murder in the air. There is go
ing to be "hot time in the old camp,
by and by. Democratic scalps must
come off. Democratic gore must flow.
The editor of the Berkeley Democrat has
rubbed his face on the ink roller, and
armed with i" shooting stick, means to
force the editor of the S atesman into
his exchange box and exterminate him.
Sulphur hangs about Grantham's Hall,
and gattling guns are at the front en-
trance of the Democrat Office. 1t all
arises over the attempt of each editor to
make his paper the Democratic organ.
Sonnie says Boyer wants the EARTH but is
only entitled to a sand hill. Boyer re-
spends by charging that the editor of
the Democrat is soft, and that he can't
tell water melon from coal bumper.
Both want recognition. Both demand
the Democratic share of the public print
ing i'll Berkeley county. Both will stand
no foolishness, and some one must get a
Knockout
Now, Sonnie is pugnacious. He would
fight any time if he could not get away,
and has been practicing lodging the cor
poration bond business so long that he
can only be hit when caught and tied.
He is fond of fish balls and brick walls.
Boyer is cool and calculating, has an eye
on the postmastership again, and knows
just how TO hit Sonnie and get away. He
works right ahead and gathers in the
printing, while Sonnie makes his stump
speech and tells the people how he is
engaged in "a mighty struggle for the
masses" Will is on to that old chestnut,
and gives the masses credit for some
sense, while he gets the dollars.
In the last issue of the Democrat.
Sonnie swears vengeance. He has dipped
his pen in vitro and means to force
Democrats to recognize his claims. He
will exterminate those who oppose him.
He will heave up the mountains and hurl
the hills on his Democratic adversary. He
wants recognition, and don't you forget
it, Boyer must account for affairs.
OF course, we are worried. We do not
care to witness these mighty conflicts
We hope our great town will not see the
wrestling and tumbling of these giants
1t would be awful. The people cannot
refrain from tears at the thought of los
ing either. The town would simply dry
up and blow away, and the gypsum
weed and thistle would grow in the public
square.
/ Gentlemen, countrymen, brothers
Democrats, please quit this madness
Drink soda water and chew gum; join tn,
circus, play horses, or ball do anything
but don't, please don't scalp one another
Take the money and divide it. But don
quarrel and scratch and call one anothe
bad names. That is not nice. The Bat
Man will catch you.

VIII some of our moral aid classical
Democratic friends, who are bowling
about McKinley's removal of Democrats,
under the civil service law, just rub their
glasses for a moment and read carefully
the following communication, clipped
from the Baltimore American. Perhaps
he won't wink his other eye so much:
"The Civil Service Reform League is
making so much noise about the Presi-
dents modification of the civil service
laws that it may not be amiss in me to
contrast its action now and during Cleve-
lands two administrations.
This league took no action when over
one hundred Republicans were summary
discharged from the customs service al
the port of Baltimore shortly after Mr.
Clevelands last term began. The league
as well as the Civil Service Commission
was appealed to then, but both refusco
to interfere, saying there was nothing &c
prevent removals where the officeholdel
had not undergone an examination. The
press took no notice of the wholesale de.
capitations beyond simple mention o
the names of those who were appointed
The services rendered by the Republicans
who were removed were satisfactory
and partisanshp was the only thing al
legged against them Those who were
appointed were every one Cleveland sup,

porters. They were appointed without
examination, and took no examination
when Cleveland, BY his blanket order
covered them into the civil service fold.
Now, wnen President Mckinley under
takes to partially undo the wrong cleve-
land did, there is a terrible to do about It.
knowing Of this leagues former conduct,
it strikes me thatits present course proves
ii to be Democratic organization, labor
ing to destroy the Republican party and
embarass that administration. It's about
time we said to this league walk"

THE ERA on PROSPERITY.

The last fiscal year has been one Of the
most prosperous this country has ever
known in industry and commerce.
Our total exports have been nearly a
billion and quarter dollars. Our ex-
ports Of manufactured goods have grown,
with a rapidity never before known to
dimensions that have hardly been hoped
for. Our pig-iron producers--and pig
iron lies at the base of all industry are
actually unable to supply the demand,
and the price Of this chief raw material
of manufacture has advanced from nifty to
seventy-hve per cent. since the beginning
OF the year. Machine shops and manu-
factories Of structural steel are refusing
both foreign and domestic orders because
they cannot fill orders already in hand.
The increase Of manufacturing plants at
the South during the year has been phe-
nomenal. The building trades in all the
cities are taxed to the uttermost to meet
the demands for residence and business
Buildings.
Now come the commercial agencies
with the encouraging report that.the COM
mercial failures during the last fiscal
year have been fewer than in any of the
last seventeen years, and that fhe total
liabilities are less than in any year since
1881.
1t is a good time in good country

Curious Craft with outriggers Still Used

There is only one race of primitive
men which makes it's entrance upon
the page of history by way of the sea.
Other early races creep over mountain
passes and evade the great water
courses by thanking the distant foun-
tains. They fear the great sea. 1t
takes ages before they gain the cour-
age to coast from cape to cape, and al
ways in sight of land. The Polynesian
of the South Sea bursts into hazard

families of his race save one, his story
begins with the daring of the Pacific,
the greatest ocean of all.

Lightning From a Clear Sky.

Last Friday afternoon bolt of light
ming stripped a large mulberry tree on
the farm of Robert Hickey, near Little
Georgetown, OF almost all its bark. II
tore a large hole in the earth at the root
of the tree, unearthing and splitting sew
eral large stones. There was also flash
of fire through the room in the house, in
which Mrs. Elizabeth w. Slyer and Mrs
Hickey were sitting. Strange TO say,
there was not a cloud visible at the time
the bolt descended.
