Tered BY the lynch Co.

Three years ago the e. w. Lynch
Furniture company had four EN-
ployees, a single floor for the display
of goods and one delivery team. The
growth of the company has been moth
ing short of marvellous. Mr.. Lynch,
who is sole owner of the concern, has
shown himself a student of peoples
wants in the furniture line, and so
successful has he been that today the
floor space of the company is more
than doubled and the force of en-
ployees has increased to Is. Three de-
livery teams are used in sending out
orders and receiving the large invoices
of high grade furniture, and there are
four doors for the accommodation OF
delivery teams at the Lynch emporium

is put upon her by her work. If any

she should desire to cancel, it can be
done by giving due notice and by max

FOUR EAR-OLD BOY PROVES
HIMSELF TO Be A HERO

New York, Dec 19.-He is only four
years old, a wee bit of a lad. 1t is
only a few days since he was permit
ted to don his first knickerbockers and
relegate his kits to the nursery. But
he gave an exhibition of nerve and
consideration for others yesterday that
speaks well for the stock from which
he springs, when he was picked up and
carried away protesting:
I'm not hurt; it's Aggie. Please pick
Aggie up. Her mamma told me to take
care of her, and she'll be so scared.
Peter Jackson is the little hero's
name. He is the son of George Jack
son, OF No. 433 West Fifty fourth street.
'Aggie,' his charge, is Agnes Sorting
becker, three years old, of No 507
West Forty-second street. She is known
as AgGie Ward, her family having
adopted Ward" because of its brevity

julia ARTHUR MAY RENOUNCE
The STAGE FOR SOCIAL LIFE

Newark N. j., Dec. 3.-Julia Arthur,
who is filing a weeks engagement here
at the Newark theatre, in More Than
Queen" will retire from the stage it
is understood. at the end of this season.
Whether her retirement will be perma-
nent or temporary is uncertain. The
probability is that it will be temporary
and necessitated by the state of the
actress health. That she has been in
a highly nervous condition was evil
denced by the incident in the Broad
way theatre few days ago, when she
interrupted the play because of alleged
annoyance by persons in d box.

Fitchburg, asking that the sergeant
keep a sharp lookout for his son, Her
midas, and If the youth tries to enlist
at the local office, to send him home
Hermidas will not get into the army
if he applies under his right name at
the local office, as the letter from his
father settles his case.
At the marine recruiting office on
Front street, two men of foreign birth
applied to Sergt. Edward F, Larkin for
enlistment, but as they could not show
