EARLY MORNING FIRE.

Smoke issuing from the cellar win
dows OF the store room occupied by
+. M. Keiner as a ten-cent store, on
Main street, few doors below East,
attracted the attention of some pass
ersby about two o'clock Tuesday
morning. An investigation was made,
and the entire cellar was found to be
enveloped in flames. The gravity OF
the situation called for prompt action
on the part of the dlscoverers, and an
alarm was hurriedly sent IN from box
thirty-two, located at corner of East
and Third streets. The response ol
the fire companies was most prompt,
the Friendship, Winonas, Rescues
and Goodwills, arriving in the order
named. Connections were made at
the corner of Iron and Main, and
East and Main streets, and two
streams of water served 10 al'ay the
fears of the onlookers, who had at
first concluded the building was
doomed to destruction. The work oi
the hremen was greatly impeded by
the great volumes of smoke, which,
even across the street, was sitting.
But in the face of this great nndrance,
the boys worked heroically until the
flames were entirely quenched 1t
was one of the hardest fires to COM
bat that has occurred in this town for
long time. The flames were fed by
a large quantity of excelsior and straw
packing in the cellar, and it was fully
FIVE hours from the time the alarm
was sounded until the danger was
passed. The building and stock was
badly damaged by water and smoke,
but we are informed that the lnsur-
ance is adequate to the loss.
Harry Corell, a member of the
Winona Company, was overcome by
the smoke and was carried to Dr.
Harter's Office. 1t required some lit.
tie time to revive him. Two or three
other members Of the different com
panies we're similarly affected, and
were led out of the building. There
was stove in the store room, but the
fire, breaking out as 1t did in the eel
lar, is a mystery.

appears, has been thrown upon the
world as the result of fathers cruel
ETY., was last week sent to Jail for sixty
days, on the charge of vagrancy. He
has been in town since last Fair. AT
that time he arrived here with his
father. At the close OF the annual
exhibition the elder Smith departed,
leaving the boy behind. He Was ta-

took compassion upon him, but ii
seems that the youngster was pos

During the writer's eleven years
residence in Bloomsbury, he has never
seen fire witnessed by SO few people
as was the case Tuesdiy morning.
There was high wind blowing at the
time, and the slim crowd may be ac-
counted for by the fact that the war
ring elements carried the sound of
the alarm in only one direction. Be-
side the alarm proper, the old bell in
the Town Hall, and the bell at the
Rescue Fire Company's hose house,
were rung necessarily for several min
utes, but people slept on without a
warning note reaching their ears.

High Water.

Fishingcreek reached very high
mark last Thursday afternoon, and
people living along its banks were
fearful of serious results. Many of
the buildings in Ferndale were sub
merged, and the road between the
two bridges, below town, were com
p,etely inundated. The rise in the
stream was most sudden, which can
be accounted for by the fact that the
ground was frozen, preventing the
rain from soaking in, and 1t ran in riv
elets toward the creek. There was
scarcely cellar in that section o
town that escaped flooding.

their performance at this house next
week. The company has made tre-
mendous hit everywhere through its

A lively runaway occurred in South
Danville Friday afternoon. A team
attached to lumber wagon, belong
ing to Wellington Pursel, of Buck
horn, was left standing near the coal
yard of ]. H. Kase. The horses took
fright at some passing object and
dashed out Hazleton avenue at mad
pace. Near the Pennsylvania station
the wagon overturned. The horses
broke loose and continued down the
avenue, breaking down a fence and
running into field. Here the fright
ened animals became entangled IN a
barb wire fence, but managed to ex-
tricate themselves and ran back across
the field, where they were captured.

Hair Dressing STYLES.

One of the most absurd ideas we
women are possessed of is that we
must adopt new style of coiffure, no
matter how unbecoming, because it is
the latest thing out, Harriet Hubbard
Aver recently remarked.
Since the pompadour made its ap-
pearance L believe more women have
been sacrificed to the Juggernaut Of
fas hion than ever before.
Now. the pompadour is becoming
to women with rather low foreheads
and round faces. 1t is, in its unmod-
fled form, wretchedly unbecoming to
hollow checked women with high fore
heads.
Before settling on tho style of hair
dressing she is to adopt o woman should
take On account OF her head, face and
figure after this fashion:
A short, fat woman should dress
her hair so that il will give an ap.
pearance of additional height to her
figure.
When the head Is round the hair
dressing should always be high.
A very round head with the hair
gathered in pug at the nape OF the
neck gives q woman an utterly inane,
gooss-like look.

TreQches TO RuQFrOm,
Cae of the Chief Giories OF the Filipino
Army-obstruetive Fighting.

Although the insurgent soldiers in
the Philippine Islands have poor
reputation as marksmen, they deserve
considerable credit for the extensive
and elaborate trenches made by them.
The hobby of a rebel general seems to
be to have his men devote large pro-
portion of their time to designing and
building trenches, from which they
are ultimately driven by the Ameri-
cans. 1t appears to be the plan of
the insurgent army to erect magnifi-
cent barricades and plan the most
beautiful systems of trenches, only to
have them captured by the Americans
at the fret charge. If the native SOL
diers could fight one-quarter as vel,
as they can devise and build trenches,
this Filipino war would be more seri-
GUS. As it is, the American troops
utterly disregard the trenches of the
rebels, and think nothing of charging
up to and over them, scattering the
natives like bees.
The writer never saw an insurgent
forco stand its ground in its trenches
more than q few minutes after an
American charge, except at the battle
of Balangtang, near Iloilo, when sew
eral companies of the rebels managed
to hold their position for about thirty
minutes before they broke. The in
surgents had occupied these trenches
for nearly year, during which time
they had been constantly at work on
them, putting them into the best of
condition for defence. The rebel Of
ficers had all along asserted that the
United States forces would be onni-
hilated if they attacked this position.
One morning the American column
moved ON the trenches at daybreak,
and after fight of thirty minutes the
rebels were obliged to leave the
trenches and run for the mountains.
The fault was not with the trenches,
but with the soldiers in them. The
The star. (Reynoldsville, Pa.) 1892-1946, 1900-05-09

trenches extend for mile after mile
along road or trail. and frequently
connect one town with another.
On some occasions the Americans
have run into trench systems of the
type shown in Figure 9, in which a
series OF half moon shaped trenches
are dug and connected as shown. The
first trench (A) will contain the fight.
ing forces at the beginning, but as
soon as the American fire gets too se-
we're for comfort in Trench A the SOL
diers fall back to Trench b. Then, if
necessary, they fall back to Trench G,
and they can continue to fall back in
to similar trenches, making a sholt
stand at each trench and perhaps
damaging the opposing forces a little.
Often these half circle trenches COM
pletely cover the approaches to cities
and towns previously held by the
rebels. The natives worked indus
triously for years in making them, for
they used trenches against the Span
ish soldiery, and have been fighting
almost all the time since the begin
ming CT Spanish rule on the islands.
Then labor is inexpensive, and the
rebels employed some labor and used
prisoners to work as well, so that the
insurgent forces always had large
number OF men engaged in erecting
trenches everywhere.
When the rebels abandon a section
OF trenches they have habit Of either

covering them over with light stuff
for the Americana TO fall through. or
they set up pois, cd tips of sharpened
bamboo as at ID, Figure 3, hoping
that some of the Americans may tum-
BILE in on these wicked points in the
dark. A great number of trenches
thus fitted have been located in the
enemy's country, and, of course, are
set fire to at once, so as TO destroy
the wood points and the poison. The
writer has never heard of an Amer
ican soldier falling on these poisoned
tips. but has seen some natives stark
in death upon them. Another trick
tho natives have is shown in Figure
3, in which the tren,h is lightly COW
cred with bamboo sticks and some
stones or earth thrown over SO as to
conceal the spot.
The natives suppose that Americans
will not notice. the new earth, etc.,
and will step on the frail top and fall
through upon tie points below. The
bamboo cover is marked Il and the
points G.. Sometimes they run water
into these places and put poisonous
reptiles inside. They work out all
sorts of extremely ingenious schemes
of this description, and to the wonder
of the natives the American soldiers
refuse to be caught.

ing mode by lavish use of tucks and
plaitings.
A model dress OF this order is made
of Venetian cloth, of mauve so pale
as to be only shade or two removed
from white. The front Of the skirt
has q panel of figured panne of a
deeper mauve tone; the sides and
back are of cloth laid in fiat plaits,
stitched down. Small panniers are
laid in fine folds about the hips, SEEM
ing to be held by large silver clasps
OF the waist in front and behind.
The bodice of this dress has vest
of panne; Venetian cloth is draped
fichuwise about the shoulders and
carried in fine tucks down to the waist
line.
Parniers will show more vagaries of
decoration than distinct novelties of
dress. The dominant note will be an
insistence on the perpendicular line.
Dresses are tucked from top to bot
tom, and the variety OF tucks is limit
less.

has "demi-train" and falls in long

is the groups of fine tucks which are
cunningly managed to make the best
display of the natural lines Of the
figure, and to give additional height.
The waist is modified bolero shape
in front, edged with creamy lace,
which accentuates the outline Of the
two jacket fronts. The lace seems to
run upward under the armhole from
the deep points in front. A vest OF
white chiffon over cream satin shows
its narrow line in front. A high
girdle of old-blue panne velvet rises
beneath the jacket fronts. The plain

the general type expressed must be
carefully considered.
A woman with a Madonna-like face
is almost sacrilege in puffs and
frizzes. She is quite out of place ex-
cept with her hair in bandeaux.
On the contrary, girl with a pug
nose, short upper lip and generally
!, piquant make up, masquerading in q
Cleo de Merode coiflure, deceives no
one. She is only an imitation of the
type she aims at, and very palpable
one at that.
IL is we'll to recolect that the hair
"dressed forward" as the coiffure ex-
presses it, makes the features appear
to recede. II the features really pro-
ject, the forward style of hair-dress-
ing modifies this defect and is be-
coming.

coming only to women of regular fea-
lures.
