FOURTEEN MADE ILL BY COAL GAS.

With the Exception of Two,Ithe Illness Was
Not of Consequence-Gas Came From a
Heater.
Fourteen persons were rendered more
or less i'll by coal gas at No. oil West
street Friday night. That is residence
of Charles @. w. Walls, superintendent
of the American Assurance Co., and
his family, and Mrs. Wall keeps
boarders, Those affected by the gas
were:
Mr.. and Mrs. Walls, and their chill
dren, Elmer, Charles and Grace. .Ct.
Mr.. ana Mrs. George Ostrahout.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Shaw. y.
Robert and Hugh Garlick.
Mr.. and Mrs. Osborne.
Mrs. Ruth.
For the first time this fall, MIR. Walls
made up the heater fire Friday after
noon, and found that it smoked great
deal because the aue did not draw
satisfactorily. Yet he did not notice
any gas escaping.
Early this morning, when Mrs. Walls
awoke, she complained of neuralgia
feeling. Mr.. Walls had a headache,
but as he is often troubled with head
ache, he gave no special thought to it
then. A little later, however, when
they found that their children were i'll,
having tendency towards nausea, and
that numerous boarders also were
afflicted with latter the ball'' heads,
Mr.. and Mrs. Walls were convinced
that the widespread effect was due to
some considerable cause Apparently
the heater had given out great deal
of gas, which had found its way by
cracks and doors and registers through
out the house.
The persons worst affected we're Mrs.
Walls. who was attended by DIR. Yates,
and Mrs. Ostrakout who was attended
by DR.. Lukens. No serious outcome
is antioipated.

spectacle it was a noteworthy fire.
When the flames were at their fisrcest
their reflection in the waters Of the
Brandy wine as seen by residents Of the
upper end of tho Ninth ward made it
g marVelously pretty picture il is
supposed That the fire was of incendiary
origin, for the plant had not been In
use for eight or nine years and the
company had no need of heat. A week
before, slight blaze at the place had
been discovered in time to prevent Its
spread; waste and lumber saturated
with ell were found nearby. Sunday
nights fire started about the same
place and was first observed about 6. 10
O'Clock by Mrs. Francis S. Bradley of
Eleventh and Head streets, wife of
Magistrate Bradley. George M. Maliclt
of 1904 Head street ran TO the Pullman
works to send In an alarm, but Watch
man Dugan refused to sound 1t until
policeman could be found. While
Malick was looking for an officer, Du-
gan turned in an alarm from box GA.
About the same time, an alarm was sent
in fromIthe box at the jackson u Sharp
plant, on the other side of the Brandy
wine.
Assistant Engineers Wiley and Pal
frey were in charge OF the tiremen who
fought the flames. Chief Engineer
Welsh and part of the tiremen being
in Salisbury, Md. rendering assistance
at fire there. The big frame build
ing, about l20x200 feet, two stories
high, burned like tinder and shot
flames high ioto the air. Fortunately
it was isolated and the blaze was con-
fined to it. Fishermen along the
Brandyw inc in the, ,neighborhood feared
that their cabins would catch fire. but
they escaped.
Thousands of persons viewed the fire
from the adjacent streets from Eleventh
street bridge.
In about an hour and half the fire
had nearly burned itself out or been
ohoked out by the volumes of water
thrown by the fire engines. 1t broke
out again, however, after the firemen
had left, and the phenix company re-
turned and completed the work.
The Delaware Terra Gotta Co. secured
the plant in 1887. 1t had previously
been the Piokels pipe foundry. John
p. Almond is president James III.
Beggs, Jr., president, and W..
Stewart Almond, secretary and treas
urer of the terra Gotta company. Mr..
Beegs, who was at the fire Sunday night,
said ne supposed the loss was covered
by insurance. The plant included two
engines, boiler and press used to
shape terra Gotta pipe.

HOW TO HOLD THE BOY.

At the great Christian Endeavor
Convention at Cincinnati last July,
Mr.. William Shaw of Boston spoke
of Chow to Hold the Boy" He said,
in part:
"Get within reach of him. Win
his friendship in any legitimate way.
Don't be forever saying Don't Do
give him something to do. Remem
Der that boys are hero worshippers,
that they admire masterful men and
women, that letting them have their
own way does not win them and
that firm hand and a warm heart
are absolutely necessary.
''Don't be goody goody. Don't have
the hero of all your illustrations a
beautiful, sweet little girl. Give the
boy a chance to win, even if he is
homely and rough and a. trifle uncon-
ventional. Don't be afraid of little
noise and restlessness. Is is sign
of life. Direct it and nurse it rather
than simply try to suppress it. Don t
always blame the boy for your lack
of ability to interest him. Don't let
him grow up with the idea that only
women are interested in religious
work. If the junior superintendent
is lad, get man before the society
once in a while but be sure he is a
man. If, after you have done your
best, you still find that the boys will
not come with the little girls, then
organize boys Junior society, with
athletic and other features, as we'll
as prayer meetings and Bible work.
Do something-anything, everything
but hold the boys, for they are the
coming men"

A PLEASANT FACE.

God must love a pleasant, happy
face, for he has made men and wo-
men love suoh faces greatly. And a
soowl must be an abomination TO
him. When unpleasant feelings
within have drawn unpleasant lines
without, have not we felt the Spirit
of God trying to smooth out the
oountenance, even as mother runs
her hand over the pouting lips of
her child, and says they are not
pretty? Surely the love of God
would be even quicker to wipe away
every frown from the brow than it
is TO wipe away every tear from the
eyes! For the frown hurts us more,
and hurts others more, too. But
peace within, shining through pleas
antness without, is indeed an offer
ing of a sweet SAVIOR unto God.
James Whitcomb Riley got at the
truth of the matter, though in
homely phrase, when he wrote:
"As it's give me to perceive I most
certainly believe,
When a mans just glad, plum
through, Gods pleased with him
the same as you.

And had rare sport in the forest

For the kind mOther-bird who had

WOman'S Work.
IN CALICO.

There was time, betwixt the days
Of linsey woolsey, straight and
prim,
And these when mode, with despot
ways,
Leads woman captive at it's whim.
Yet not hundred years ago,
When girls wore simply calico.
Within the barn of lantern light,
Through many a reel, with flying
feet,
The boys and maidens danced at
night
To fiddled measures, shrilly sweet /;
And merry revels we're they,
though
The girls were gowned in calico.
Across the flooring rough and gray
The gold of scattered chaff was
spread
And long festoons of clover hay,
That struggled from the lot
o'erhead,
Swung scented fringes to and
fro
Ger pretty girls in calico.
They used to go a. a-Maying then,
The blossoms of the spring TO seek
In sunny glades and sheltered glen,
Unweighed by fashions's latest
freak;
And Robin fell in love, know,
With Phyllis in her calico.
A tuck, frill, bias fold,
A hat curved over gypsy wise,
And beads of coral and of gold,
And rosy cheeks and merry eyes,
Made lassies in that long ago
Look charming in their calico.
The modern knight who loves 8 maid
Of gracious air and gentle grace,
And finds her oftentimes arrayed,
In shining silk and priceless lace,
Would love her just as we'll,
know,
In pink and lilac calico.
