James Lovesy sustained a severe
cut over the right eye and a pain

glass.
The contents of the big safe in

intact, excepting slight damage
from water.
The burned district covers an
area of six lots in the center of the
south side of the principal bust
ness block on Elk avenue.

The breaking of several lengths
of hose on account of the heavy
water pressure gave rise to erron-
eous reports that the hose had been
cut.
This fire plainly demonstrated
that more hose is needed to success
fully combat big fire. Ten lengths
are needed, but six would be of
great assistance.
Miss May Young has restored
order out of the chaos incident to
the fire, and once more has her
store neatly arranged for the tran

is 1T REAL PHILANTHROPY?

THE question may be raised
justly in considering the remark
able benefcences of Andrew Car
negie how far in this age of un-
bridled commercialism the benevo-
lent use of wealth in the last hours
of mans career can render indif-
ferent whole people to the meth
ods of its accumulation. Scarcely
decade ago the name of Carnegie
was held up as synonymous with
everything that was harsh, brutal
and INSCRIPTIONS in the tactics of
monopoly. Cleveland's triumphal
reelection was ascribed, even by
Republicans, to public indignation
over the uncalled for practices
adopted by the Carnegie Company
at Homestead and at Braddock.
Since that time the company of
which Carnegie has been the
responsible head has pursued
similar tactics, growing so strong
that its employees do not dare rebel.
1t is true that there have been no
repetitions of the Homestead affair,
but the conditions which culminat-
ed in that massacre have been
maintained and even strengthened.
Now Carnegie is lavishly distribut-
ing libraries among hosts of cities
and towns at rate, which if con-
tinued, would exhaust his entire
fortune in year. A changeable
and tickle public says that this
benevolence atones for all that has
been done by him in fostering
monopoly. The ethical question
in this matter may fairly be raised.
Carnegie has reached that period
when it is no longer necessary to-
look out for himself. Is it suf-
fcient answer to all that has been
charged against him, supposing
that to be true, that if he had paid
more wages to his workmen, if he
had kept out of monopolies and
allowed free competition, he would
not have been able to stud this
whole land with Carnegie Libraries?
And what effect is it going to have
upon the minds of the youth OF
another generation when they see
in several hundred American cities
the name of Carnegie over a library,
and in the greatest of American
cities university which will per-
chance by that time be the largest,
if not the most admirable one,

when the failure Of crops caused u

serted einphatically that II was possible
to alleviate her sufferings and prolOng

My anxiety would have been very great
II had not been returning Immediately
to Guernsey. But once there, and in
communication with Tardif, l could not
believe any danger would threaten Olivia
from which ! could not protect or rescue
her. She was of age, and had right to

as Tardif and me, no one could force her
away from her chosen home.

WHY MODERN TEA HURTS you.
Too Much Rush in Preparing the Crop
for the Market.

100 MUCH Nusn III Preparing the Crop
for the Market.
1t is being charged that unwllolesome
tea is being imported into this country
In large quantities. and II Is urged that
steps should be taken to check the i'm
pOrtatiOn of inferior teas by closing the
door of the custom house against their
sale.
The deterioration of the quality of tea
Is said to be owing to the Introduction
of machinery for tea-cnring. n process
which produces a very inferior article
compared with handmade tea. Thus
there is very little machine-curcd tea
now which Fan be compared with the
old. finest quality China ten.
The explanation of this lies. accord.
ing to a tea planter. in the inefiiclency
of machinery in its earlier stages of
development, to initiate the finesse of
skillful hand craftsman In carrying
through a series Of delicate operations.
The difficulty arises, of course. from
the fact that IT Is one thing to make
specimen article at Il high price for
tut lew W HiIkt III
the masses by the ton. and the grower
Is sure to he in favor of producing uuan-
tity rather than quality.
IL Is said that millions of pounds of
dccomposing leaf are made into tea
simply because many factories are In.
sufficiently equipped. Tea undoubtcd.
~ requires delicate handling during
the progressive stage of It's manufac-
ture. The methods of treatment. un.
less efficiently conducted. are neccssar.
lily hazardous to the quality of the final
product.
The leaf. of course. has to he plucked.
then withcrcd. rolled. and finally "nrcd''
or dried. 1t is obvious that any one of
these processes might involve injury
to the quality of the tea. and the enor.
nous scale on which the tea Is pre-.
pared for the market would have a ten.
dcncy to introduce inefficient treatment
ut some stage or other.
