GASOLINE CAUSES A FIRE.

Close Call for Hoe Hive Department
store-Fire Alarm Goes Wrong.
But for the timely arrival ard pres
ence of mind Of DR.. r. D. Whitacre. n
serious fire would have resulted Sunday
about II O'Clock, thru the explosion of
gasoline. Mrs. NJ. j. Gray and daughter
occupy apartments on the second floor
Of the Blossom block, in which the Bee
Hive department store is located. Mrs.
Clay nar ensase,i iii preparing dinner
on gasoline stove, and was alone at
the time. The oil ran low and she
turned the blaze out to refill the can. In
doing so she spilled a small quantity Of
the fluid, and the hot generator ignited
1t, the flames communicating to the
tank and can. In a moment the interior
of the room waasin blaze. DIR. Il. D.
Whi,acre, who occupies offices on the
same floor, after telephoning to the
central Office to ask that an alarm be
turned in went to work unaided to
put out the fire. After considerable ef-
fort, and with the aid of a bucket Of
water. he succeeded, and it is we'll that
he did. as the alarm sounded was con-
fusing and the tiremen went astray.
Mrs. Gray's hands were slightly burned,
and the woodwork Of the room was
'scorched. Separating the room from the
china and hardware departmsnts of the
Bee Hive was only a board and glass
partition, and the fire wou.L have soon
spread to them had IT not been for Dr.
Whitacre's good work. AS it was, some
OF the glass in the partition was broken
by the heat. but the Bee Hive stock
was not damaged in the least
Chief Coulton, of the fire department,
has lodged complaint against the
workings Of the new central transmit
ter. on which the alarm was turned in.
The Hope hose company counted the
number as pa, located on North First
street, and started In that direction,
thus passing right by the fire. Mr.. Coul-
ton counted the taps az from box q,
while other firemen failed to make any
thing out of the alarm. Chief Coulton
says that in mis- opinion the transmitter
is geared to work faster than the me-
;chanism of the bell. and must be read
justed. A test OF the machinery will be
made tomorrow morning to determine
this point.

DUEL WITH POTATOES.
How . Kentucky Preacher Turned :
Desperate Into Ridicule.

One way OF combating an evil practice
Is to make it look ridiculous. 1t was by

muscular fellow--was conducting services

lated that his opponent must stand Is
PAGES distant. and that only one potato at
time should be taken from the measure.
The desperate was furious Mt being
thus freshly insulted, and made an in.
dignant protest, but Bowman insisted
upon his rights as the challenged man.
and threatened to denounce the desperate
as a coward il he failed to come to time.
As there was no way out Of the 6x but to
tight, the desperate consented. The en-
counter took place on the outskirts OF the
town. and almost body IN the place

A yell OF delight went up from, the
crowd, which furried the desperate, and
his potato flew wide Of the mnrk. Bow
man watched his chance, and every time
his opponent stopped for potato another
hit him IN the short ribs, knocking the wind
completely out Of him. and doubling him
up on the grass. The people were almost
crazy with laughter, but Bowman looked
as solemn as II he had just been preach

interesting story back OF that which has
never been printed, aud as had It from.
Mr.. Vanderbilt himself I'll bet red ap-.
pie it is all right.
The sum which Mr.. Vanderbilt was
to pay Captain George E. Stone of Gin
cinnati for Maud S was an even $50, 600.
Before the mare was delivered Captain
Stone is supposed to have rued his bar
gain. Anyhow, he wrote to Mr.. Wander
bilt that he had promised to give BAR,
the trainer Of Maud 8, $1,000 as an hon-
orarium, and he thought Mr.. Vanderbilt
ought to add this to what he was to pay.
The presumption is that Stone thought
this marking up Of the price would break
the bargain.
One thousand dollars wasn't much for
man Ike Mr.. Vanderbilt, but that little
ruse made him just as mad as IL it had
taken the last cent he had on earth. But
he was something Of a David Harum

Captain Stone his check for the mare It
was for $2l 900 instead OF $40 1000.
That's part Of the story, but only the
least interesting. Afterward, when Cap
tain Stone headed syndicate to buy
Maud s back from Mr.. Vanderbilt and
was willing to pay $780, COO for her, the
big railroad man still remembered the

people could not have bought the mare IL

feast OF St. Joachim, the Pope's patron
saint, there was a large gathering at
the Vatican of cardinals. bishops and
presidents of societies. The Pope who
was in excellent health and spirit, spoke
at some length regarding matters of
Catholic interest and then with a com
plimentary introduction invited Arch
bishop Ireland TO address the assembly
on matters in America and the rela-
tons of the outer world to the Holy
See.
Monsignor ireland, who was frequent
ly applauded during a speech of 20
minutes, spoke glowingly of the fidel-
ity of American Catholics 10 the
Roman church and the Holy See. He
described liberty under the American
nag ana set forth the necessity of the
Pope. as the head of Christendom be-
ing free and independent OF any one
civil power. so as to be in fact as well
as Of right. the sovereign teacher and
ruler of all nations and peoples. with
out special dependency on any special
nation or people"
The address gave visible satisfaction.
MonsignOr Ireland had a final audience
" the Pope. Friday. He will leave
Rome. this afternoon.
