Practically every house in the VilllSa had cae OF more injured inmates and many homes Of mourning families We're gathered about the charred remains Of loved ones who were victims of the ;er- rihle calamity.

A Useless Device.

At a suburban auction of house hold goods an active and success ful bidder was Montgomery county farmer. His purchases were piled high in one corner of the room, and he was still eager when a thermometer was offered. There was no bidding from any quarter, and the auctioneer, reaching it out to the farmer, said:
 Here, give a quarter for it and take it along" :"
 No. Not for me-" said the farmer, breaking away.
 "Why, that's dirt cheap!!' ex- claimed the auctiOneer. ''Don't you want a thermometer?"
 'Nop!" was the decided reply. ,'I had one a year or two ago, an fooled around it an lost time without being able to regulate ii at all. Why, I couldn't even open the darn thing"

A Mechanical Wonder.

An interesting piece of mech anism to be on exhibition at the fall festival in Cincinnati, says the Enquirer, is that of an auto maton which plays cards, writes letters, answers, questions, smokes cigarettes, aud goes through numerous other remark able acts.
 The exposition committee of the festiual has been advised that this machine would be placed on exhibition by a tobac- co company, primarily to adver- tise brand of cigarettes, but it will also serve as one of the at fractions. It will be installed on fhe second floor of the music hall, in the space formerly used by the Cincinnati Southern Rail road for it's exhibit.
 This automaton is said to rival the once famous Ajeeb, the Ori- ental checker-playing machine, that never lost a game.
 The fact that the tobacco com i'pany, whose headquarters are in New York, decided to place an exhibit at the fall festival is ac- knowledged recognition of the Queen City's importance as a distributing center for the tobac- co trade.
 The members of the fall festi- val committee are working on a plan to run an electric mule on the canal track during the fest. To enable them to do this the committee in charge of Plaza at fractions is exerting every effort to push along improvements on the banks of the canal. If it's plans succeed it is the intention of the festival committee to util- ize electricity for propelling gondOlas on Cincinnati's Rhine.

Doing Better Than His Father

Gen. Fred Grant a few months ago received a letter which he showed his army friends in Luzon as a joke at his own expense, and which, therefore, may prop erly be promulgated.
 The generals son, U. $. Grant Third, is a cadet at West Point, now frst-class man and cadet adiutant. But earlier in his course the father became anX- ious about him and imparted his anxiety by mail from the Philip pines to a professor in the acad- emy, a contemporary of his own, begging him to send exact and confidential information as to the cadets standing. The answer which relieved his anxiety was as follows:

What is said to be the oldest ship in the world has recently been sold at Teneriffe to be bro- ken up. This is the Italian ship Anita, registered at the port of Genoa. The Anita, which re- sembled Christopher Columbus's ship, the Santa Maria, was built in Genoa in 1548, and effected her last voyage at the end of March, 1902, from Naples to Ten eriff. The Anita was of tremen- dously stout build, and had weathered countless storms and tornadoes in all parts of the world, but it was also the slow est ship afoat, taking 205 days on one voyage from Baltimore to Rio de JaneirO.
