The fire alarm in the camp OF the Sec
ond Regiment Thursday night was the
result OF a "set-up job" by some ways OF
the artillery battalion. The artilleIymen
gathered together quite a pile OF grass
and dry twigs and set fire to the mass,
following this UP with the fire call. The
boys OF the Second responded as quickly
and worked as effectively as If the alarm
had been based on a genuine conilagra-

it as follows:

In passing, it is perhaps as well to
warn any woman hesitating in her
choice of a decorative lace, that Irish
point is the first in the field this win
ter. 1t is the lace for hats, for coat
collars, for fat applications on cloth
gowns, and for the most extravaganza
evening dresses. Irish handmade lace
is wonderfully beautiful and justly
costly, but the work of the patient,
clever fingers, is exquisitely initiated
by the swift machines, and though 1t
often requires the eyes of a lace ex
pert to distinguish between the real
and the imitation product, their prices

iastic economist could desire.

New York, Nov 29-Dentistry is one
of the professions which has for years
been a field of success for women But
it has remained for a New York dentist
to discover a department OF dentistry

This ingenious practitioner is of the

In other words his specially is extract

Letter to Porto Ricans

Washington, Feb. 23-At toda.'s
meeting of the executive council of
the American Federation of Labor,
President Gompers submitted to them
letter addressed to workingmen of
Porto Rico, which was approve1 end
ordered to be forwarded. The letter
says:
"It is our duty as organized work
ers of the United States to aid to the
fullest extent of our ability in the Or
ganization of our fellow WORKERS in
Porto Rico, and their full affilaIion
with the workers of the United
States.
with this object in view we freely
ask you to correspond with this office
upon any matter of interest to Porto
Rican workmen, or in anyway which
will bring about their organization
and their attachments as unions to
their respective national or interna-
tional organization, or where such does
not exist directly to the American Fed
Grafton of Labor"
1t was decided that President Com
pers visit Porto Rico and report upon
the conditions he finds there.
