WOMAN TERRIBLY BURNED.
Explosion of n Lamp Sets Fire to the
Clothing of Mrs. Chas. Z. III IS.

MONTPELIER, Jan. 3O.-Last night Mrs.
Charles f.. Bliss of Montpelier Centre
while caring for her daughter, who is i'll
with pneumonia, was frightfully and per-
haps fatally burned by the exploding of
a lamp. Mrs. Bliss was at work about
the lamp and when 1t exploded the flames
ignited her clothing and in answer to her
cries her sick daughter and other mem-
bers of the family rushed to her rescue
and finally succeeded in putting out the
flames by wrapping heavy blankets about
the woman's form. Mrs. Bliss was badly
burned about the face and breast, the
flesh being burned to a crisp, and those
who aided her were severely burned. Med
zeal aid was procured and it was at first
hoped that no fatality would be the out
come but this afternoon it was reported
that there was no hope for her recovery.
1t was almost miraculous that the house
did not burn as many of the articles in
the room where the accident occurred,
caught fire, some of which were entirely
destroyed. AS yet no theory as to what
caused the explosion has been arrived at
as the injured woman was practically
alone with the lamp at the time of the
accident. but II is thought that she may
have been heating alcohol over the lamp
and that it in some way caught fire and

BUCGARlA'S PRINCESS DEAD.


Sofia, Bulgaria. Jan. 3~l.-Princess Fer
dinand of bulgaria died to-day of pneu-
monia. She gave birth 10 a daughter yes
terday evening.
The Princess was dying last evening but
the fact was hidden from the population.
She was still conscious this morning and
bade farewell to the children.
Prince Ferdinand remained at her bed
side throughout.
Princess Ferdinand Of Bulgaria was
Marie Louise, eldest daughter Of Duke
Robert of Parma, born Jan II, 1870, mar
ried April 20, 1898. to Prince Ferdinand
reigning Prince of Bulgaria.
HER LIFE A SAL ONE.
Vienna, Jan. 31.-The deceased Princess
of Bulgaria had been suffering fer a fort
night from influenza and continuous hig h
fever. which caused premature contine-
ment and extreme debility.
There is much gossip here as to her un-
happy domestic life. The palace at Sofia
is a most ~unsanitary place. During the
first years of her residence there she suf-
fered a great deal from intermittent fe-
yer owing to the drains. she only just
survived her first confinement, and the
enforced conversion of young Prince
Boris to the orthodox Greek church,
caused her, as a devout Roman Catholic,
great unhappincss.
The enmity that existed between her
and the late NJ. Stefan Balouff, the Bull
garian statesman, is now recalled.

DIR. Thornwell's Lecture,

Col. F. w. McMaster, of Columbia,
has written that "Dr. Thornwell's lee.
ture was full Of wit and humor and
pathOs. The audience was convulsed
with laughter, and the speaker had to
cease to allow tho aching side to rest.
After an hour of rehearsal the modesty
OF the speaker admonished him to stop,
but the cries of Go on, go on forced
him to continue for half an hour long
er, and then the audience reluctantly
permitted him to close.
cdr. Thornwell's quick perception
and wonderful memory gives him ex-
traordinary power in detailing descrip-
tions-his wit, humor, and utter ab-
sence of self, displayed in all his ora
tory, captivates his hearers"
Newberry will be delighted to honor
the distinguished lecturer with full
house,. Let everybody and the children
attend.

1t was Il Good Bill,

1t is all very well to laugh at Mr..
Blease's bill TO licen,e competent horse
shOers, but there is sense in it. Not
every man who calls himself a black
smith can shoe Il horse properly. Bad
shoeing has killed many q good horse,
has ruined more and caused pain and
discomfort and loss Of speed and draw
Ing power to even more. A blacksmith
who knows his trade and docs his work
conscientiously is as much entitled to
protection against the competition of
jack-legs us a doctor is to protection
against quacks. Bad shocing is one of
the few bad jobs that does not tell on
itself, and the victims of it can saw
nothing.-Greenville News, 18th.
The above is we'll said, and we hcarti
ly agree with the News in the state
mont that there is "scnse in it," We
were in hopes that The Legislature
would pass the bill and it would be-
come law. But it has been killed
Many agood animal has been ruined by
being slod by Incompetent workmen.

Dr. Fox had occupied the position OF

ing his residence in Newberry, has
made many friends, not only in his own

the town.
He is an able preacher, and u pleas

IL dllhcult TO secure Il man who can, in
all particulars take his place.
During his administration as pastor,
the congregation has grown and a
handsome pew church has been built
He has several calls to other places
that are desirable, but we do not know
whether or not he has accepted any
one of them.
DR.. Fox is not only uplcasant gentle
man, a strong preacher and Il good pas
tor, but he is a student and ranks hiyh
