Early Morning Fire in Upper
town.
PROPERTY OF MRS. PALMER
With the Utmost Difficulty AdiOin-
ing Property Mas Saved
Slight Insurance.
PROPERTY OF MRS. PALMER

At lis o'clock this morning a general
alarm called out the entire fire depart
ment of the city. The alarm was turn
en- in from the limits of Uppertown.
It was afterwards discovered that the
property on fire was that of Mrs. J..
E. Palmer. who resides about three
quarters of mile southeast of the
clatsop mill.
A few moments after the alarm was
turned in the sky in that vicinity was
illuminated for miles.
The property is located over the hill
and it was with great difficulty and
loss of much time that the fire de-
partment reached the premises.
The home in which Mrs. Palmer re-
sides had already been nearly con-
sumed. A second building owned by
Mrs. Palmer, and Occupied by John Van
Nozzle and family, was only a short
distance away. Within few mo-
ments after the breaking out Of the
fire the second house was also in
flames The firemen saw that it would
be useless to attempt to save either
one of these buildings and directed
their attention TO surrounding proper
ty. Immediately adjoining the Palmer
residences is the home Of viii Scofeld,
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1900-01-26

Of the firm OF Sooheld & Hauke. In
the rear was large barn in which
were horses and hay. To save these
the fire department directed all OF its
enersy. Several times, however, they
caught on fire and persons were oblig-
ed TO ascend to the roof TO extinguish
the flames. Several residences across
the street were also at times In great
danger, but neighbors who had vol
unteered to render assistance TO the
firemen succeeded in saving these
without any material damage being
done.
Comparatively nothing was saved
from the contents OF the burned build
ings. Indeed. it was with much good
fortune that the occupants escaped
with their lives. The fire was we'll un-
der way several minutes before Mrs.
Palmer and members Of her family
were aware OF it. Mrs. Palmer was
the first to make the discovery and
Immediately aroused the family who
were up stairs and asleep. Freddie,
a l2-year-old son. narrowly escaped be-
ing smothered to death. staggering out
of the burning building just in time
to escape the flames.
The origin OF the fire is a mystery.
1t started fully an hour and a half
after every member Of the family had
retired. 1t is known. however, that
the riames We're first discovered in the
kitchen, which leads to the belief that
the fire arose from the stove.
Only one of the buildings-that oc-
cupied by Mrs. Palmer-was insured.
The exact amount could not be ascer-
tanned, but it is understood to be
small.
Mrs, Palmer is a widow and has two
daughters and son residing with her.
The fire continued until o'clock this
morning, before the fire department
succeeded in getting it under control.

That is one Of the sublimest lines in all
literature. il is the final definition Of love
by the worlds greatest reader Of the human
mind, - Shakespeare. Nearly all women
who truly love, love in this sublime way.
Men seldom do.
Woman's most glorious endo vment is
the power TO awaken and hold the pure
and honest love Of worthy man. When
she loses it and still loves on, no one in
the wide world can know the heart agony
she endures. The woman who suffers
from weakness and arrangement of her
special womanly organism soon loses the
power to sway the heart of man. Her
