HINSDALE, N. H.
Millinery store Damaged by Fire.

AT little past 10 o'clock on Satur-
day night an alarm of fire was given
for a fire in Mrs. Wise's house on
Canal street. The fire was in the
part occupied by Mrs. Matte Wheeler
and used for a millinery store. Mrs.
Wheeler had but Just gone to bed
when she smelled smoke and upon in
vestigation found a fire had started
in the store. and gave the alarm.
The fire caught in or near the parti-
ton which separates the work room
from the sales room, being mostly
confined to the work room. The dam
age was more from smoke and water
than from fire. A number of hats
which were in an upright show case,
which stood against the partition,
were burned. and smoke and water
damaged much of the stock. The
house was occupied by Mrs. Wise end
tenants and roomers. also Mrs.
Wheeler had tenement over the
store. The roomers gathered to-
gether their effects, and removed
them to safe quarters cross the street,
and valuables and easy movables were
carried out by those permanently oc-
cupying the building. Most of the
rooms were so thoroughly wet down
that they were not habitable, and the
occupants sought temporary quarters
elsewhere. 1t seems that some meas
ures should be taken to prevent con-
fusion at such times. The noise
from the crowd, and the orders from
everybody make it an impossibility for
the fireman to receive and understand
the orders from the engineers, thus
hindering the more effective work
of the fire department.
Mrs. Wise had the building fully
insured, and Mrs. Wheeler carried an
insurance of $1,000 on her stock and
$500 on her household goods. 1t was
only on the Thursday evening before
that the falling of lighted lamp from
bracket in the millinery room set
fire to the contents of waste basket
and what might have been a serious
fire was prevented by F. w. Cotton
who rushed across from the opposite
side of the street and threw basket
and burning contents out of doors.

The Boston HernId's BEST wOman's
Page.O


There is nothing that succeeds like sue
cess, as evidenced by the fact that the
great Boston Herald, gratified by the re-
suits obtained from the publication of
"The Best Woman's Page in America" in
the evening edition, has decided to give
the readers of the morning edition the ad-
vantage of this great feature. Hereafter,
readers of the morning edition of the Bos-
ton Herald will find "The Best Woman's
Page In America" as attractive as the
readers of the evening edition have in the
past No such effort is put forth by any
newspaper in the country in catering to
that great class of newspaper readers; GER
tainly no paper has made such a reputa-
ton in this field.
The woman's page of the Boston Her
aid contains the news of the fashion
world, which is contributed by expert
fashion writers in Paris, New York and
Boston, and Herald staff artists in these
great centres sketch the freshest ideas in
fashion lore Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs. Mar
tina Taft Wentworth furnish fresh hints
for the home, and recipes at once new, re-
liable and practical. Home dressmaking
is one of the new features, and should af-
ford great satisfaction to those who prefer
to design their own apparel. This page is
but one feature of New England's greatest
newspaper. Every other feature which
has contributed to the great respect in
which The Herald is held, is maintained
at the high standard of excellence which
has made it famous. Readers of the Bos-
ton Herald are always well informed upon
all the topics of the times, and all the
news of the day.

Rev. w. E. Renshaw closed his la
bars as pastor Of the Congregational
church on Sunday. He preached no
so-called farewell sermon, but took
for his text Blessed are they that do
his commandments, that they may
have right to the tree of life, and may
enter in through the gates into the
city," Rev. XXII:14. Mr.. Renshaw
made it plain that although we have
many rights none are ours by natural
possession, but all are acquired
through obedience. IL the evening
the subject of his discourse was I'm
mortality" He also spoke briefly of
his five years pastorate in this place,
and of the pleasant experiences which
had come to him during his stay here,
and of his continued earnest desire
for the strengthening and upbuilding
of the church.
For five years Mr.. Renshaw has Ia
bored earnestly for the good of his
people, with no thought of sparing
himself and as a result of his faith
fulness so additions have been made
to the church, by far the larger part of
which were on confession of faith.
He will leave many warm friends here,
and the best wishes of the church
will follow him for continued success
in the Masters service.
