Two coiored families named Smith

Smith of No. 519 Buttonwocd street,

sleeping soundly when he awakened
them and then hurried to the street,
scantily clad, as they did not have
time TO dress. The house was in a
blaze. Smith ran to the house of his
neighbor, George Williams, and awak-
ened Williams and his wife. An alarm
of fire from box AZ called out the dis
trict companies. They bad trouble In
getting into the dark street, but soon
distinguished the blaze. The heavy
rain assisted greatly in preventing the
fire gaining too much headway. The
houses, which were badly damaged,
are of frame, and are owned by Edward
A. Robinson and Mrs. Mary Greer.
A coat and belt, the property of the
Washington Fire Co., was lost in going
to the fire. yS

Use X-Rays on Thieves,

X-rays have been subjected to a
novel purpose in Calcutta. A thief was
supposed to have stolen a diamond
worth 10000 rupees and to have Of
fectually secreted it IN his person by
swallowing it. Expert thieves in India
temporarily secrete small valuables of
this description in the throat. 1t Is
called "pouching." and the thieves IN
dergo special training in order to rem
der them proficient in the art. The
plan is simple. A small piece Of lead
is attached to a thread, and this the
neophyte swallows, then by the action
of his tongue he guides the lead TO the
orifice Of the sac in the throat. The
pupil is prevented from completely
swallowing the lead by the piece of
thread which the teacher holds. When
the man has become skillful in this act
of swallowing, the leaden pellet Is
coated with lime, which has the effect
Of e%nlarging tho sac so that it becomes
capable Of retaining large articles. In
the case Of Calcutta the Roentgen rays
revealed the presence Of some obstacle
in the throat, but It's precise identity
could not be gathered.

Many Women Earn Living by Catering

say the New York Herald. Yet there

tell you hat grave clothes fashions

styles are followed closely. If large
sleeves are in fashion in the clothes of
the living, why, then the shrouds must

If the skirts are stiffened with crino-
line or haircloth, SO also is the skirt
OF the shroud, and recently, when
trains were so fashionable. there We're
few ShroudS made that did not have
a long dip in the back. There is only
n radical difference nowadays be
tween the up-to-datc shroud and the
up-to-date gown, and that is that the
former always opens in the back. To
get rid of old fashioned shrouds is as
difficult a problem among manufacture
ers and dealers as it is for the mer-
chant to dispose OF out-of-date cloth
ing for those living. 1t is mex to i'm
possible for them to do it. although
such goods are often marked down to
the proverbial song. Indeed. so great
is the aversion to an old fashioned
STROUD that it is rarely possible to
give one away. People seem to have
an instructive desire to have the last
dress of their departed loved ones
just as up-to-date as it is possible to
make it, irrespective of whether or
not the corpse had been a man or wo-
man addicted to current fashions.
