At that unfortunate hour in the
history of Ardmore's fires, 2 O'Clock
a. m, FIRE was discovered this morn
ing in the residence of Frank Frens-
ley at the corner of Market and
Broadway. occupied by Pierce
Crisp. The fire originated in the
kitchen from a coal oil lamp. Ow
ing to the hour of the night assis-
tance was slow in responding to
the alarm and Mr.. Crisp. who de-
voted his attention to the removal
of his invalid wife, was unable to
save many of his household goods.
The piano.. some bed steads and
bed clothing, together with some
boxes of merchandise that sat on
the porch constituted the goods
saved. He carried $400 insurance.
Mr.. Frensley had 5000 insurance
on the building.
The building, composed of five
rooms and three porches, was one
of the old landmarks of the town
aud was built at time when nc
one dreamed of its destruction ter
years later surrounded by city oi
5000 population.
J. f. Gibson occupied room il
the building. All of his persona
effects were saved.
The chemical engine made very
quick response but the flames were
under too much headway to be
checked.

The Question Of Industries for Ard
more the Leading Feature.
There was quite an interesting
meeting of the Commercial Club
last night at the city hall. with A.
J. Wolyerton. president, at his
post.
After the routine business of the
club had been transacted new
business was called for, and vari-
ous new enterprises for the city's
good were spoken of.
Mr.. Wolverton spoke of his COM
mnnication with FL. II. Hargrove,
the cotton mill promoter who is
doing so much good along that line
throughout the south. The gen.
tlethan spoke with emphasis of the
great results for good which would
arise from the construction of such
an enterprise here; told of its
probable cost, capacity and en-
ployment of labor.
Other members spoke along the
same line. and a motion was car
ried that the club invite Mr.. Har-
grove to Ardmore to deliver an
address before the business men
of the city. looking to the estab-
lishment of a cotton mill at this
place.
Another great want which Ard
more should be supplied with was
the location at this place of a
small packing house. This ques-
tion was quite literally dealt with.
The number of hogs shipped out
and the amount of meat shipped in
gave splendid basis for the ne
cessity Of having such an estab-
lishment at Ardmore. This pro-
ject is in active hands and our
people may expect to hear some
thing interesting soon.
Mr.. Ledbetter, who is chairman
of the committee on railroads, etc. &,
gave very interesting talk on the
question of new railroads and what
developments Ardmore might ex-
pect therefrom. Other members
introduced information at their
command.
The standing committees of the
club have been reconstructed and
the list was read.
A special committee was named
to look up rooms suitable for per-
mahent club rooms and be pre-
pared with their report at a
meeting to be held next Monday
night.

Telephone Contracts Bind

A contract made over the tele-

was as binding as though it had
been followed by formal letter.

Anglo Saxon to gasp the idea that a
poet can without loss of prestige recite
his lines inca public cafe before mix
ed audience. If such doubling souls
could. however, be present At one of
these noctes ambrosian2, they would
quickly realize that the Latin temper
ament can throw a grace and childish
abandon around an act that would
cause an Englishman or an American
to appear Supremacy ridiculous. Ones
taste or sense of fitness is never shock
Ell. 1t seems the most natural thing in
the world to be sitting there with your
glass of beer before you while some
rising poet whose name ten years later
may figure among the Immortal For

ambition or brings tears into your eyes
with description of some humble

Easy to Beat Hotels.

"Hotel men give out that they warn
each other by circulars about dead
BEATS" said the slick looking man with
the high hat, but don't you let that
stop you if YOU want to live high for a
week. Few men like TO publish the
fact that they have been done up. It's
the easiest thing in the world to beat
first class hotel. All you want is good
suit of clothes and plenty of cheek. \
grip with a few shirts and collars is as
good as 4 trunk
You drive up in style; you register to
get the best room in the house; you
bulldoze tie clerks and threaten the
servants \ checkbook is good thing
to show, but you pay for nothing. You
talk in a loud voice, you make plenty
of kicks. and you order the best wines
for dinner. Lands, but the whole staff
of the house will fall over each other
to make it pleasant for you! You don't
pay the first weeks bill. On the con-
trary, you are indignant and demand
an apology. When the second week IS
due, your drafts have not come.
"You will be worked out of the house,
but with gentleness and apologies.
They don't want a row. and they don't
want notoriety. You'll be forgiven if
you'll only go, and if you take up your
quarters for the next two weeks right
across the street no one from the hotel
will give you away. When man beats
us, we like to see him beat our neigh
Dor, you know. It's nice and genteel
work, with no kicks or hard times, and
there is always room for one more In

a Persistent Poet.

Although H. *. Munkittricl1 has an
enviable reputation as a humorist, yet
he IS not the quickest man in the
world to see joke when it is played
on himself. Mr.. Gibson, one of the
editors of Puck and also practical
Joker, arranged for n special jest to
be administered to Mr.. Munkittrick.
He had provided trick telephone
which emitted shower of flour when
anybody spoke into it.
When Mr.. Munkittrick had arrived,
it was suddenly discovered that the
paper had gone to press and that his
copy was too late. There was only
one chance, Mr.. Gibson said, and that
was to telephone to the printer and
tell him to stop the presses until his
matter should be set up and inserted
He asked Mr.. Munkittrick to go to the
phone at once.
Then the staff sat and held their
sides, waiting for the explosion. Final
" Mr.. Gibson rushed to the telephone
and found his friend deluged in flour
but still persistently calling "Hello!
through the phone.
He led him back and carefully eX
planned the joke.
When he finished. Munkittrick calm
~ remarked:
"Still, l think we ought to let tho
printer know about the copy; dom

She Heard 1t.

The supplied choir had done its duty
for the evening service. But all during
the church hours there had been pc
culiar sound outside as if n child were
crying. In reality it was something
the matter with the organ. 1t could be
heard distinctly in the auditorium of
the church. When the choir sang the
occasional and marched slowly out of
the church into the dressing rooms,
one of the young ladies among the so
pranos asked the woman who takes
care of the robes:
Did you hear that awful squeaking
out here?"
Yes, indeed, mum; l could almost
understand the words"
And nothing more was said on the
subject.-Detroit Free Press.
