About 7.4O o'clock this morn
ing fire was discovered in tn,

bottling works. An alarm
was sent in from box G3 an(

ed. The warehouse was q
frame building and the fire
gained considerable headwav.
The flames spread to No. BE
Union occupied by Mrs. NJ.
Hayden and then to Nos. 80,
,, 30S, BOG and 3O4 Union. The
frame houses burned like pa
per. Owing to the fire alarm
box at Union and Lancaster
Avenue being out of service
Office Hawke had the box at
Fourth and Scott struck.
The tiremcn responded prompt
ly but the fire was beyond their
control on account of the in
flamablc nature Of the build

pie was carried on by officers

cd furniture wagons and as
the furniture was taken out OF
the upper story windows where

ed in the neighborhood. The

They arc there hy hs thousand and tho

with this herring catching business has
been started at Delaware City. A buld.

and IN this thu fish are cleaned, sal ed aud
made ready for market The work Of
catching tie herring has air eady com.

There nre two reasons why the indus.

not as numerous as they were. ana there

The Boy and the Farm.

How often we hear parents discOur~
'age the boys who wish to stay ON the
farm! They refer to farm work as
lrudgery and that which tends to make
them slaves to work rather than indie
pendent men. The biggest boys are
educated for professional men and in
many instances excel, but the vast ma
jority of these, with a good practical
education such as can be gained in our
schools Of agriculture, would become
wealthy. progressive farmers, with finn
farms and beautiful homes, If they had
been encouraged and advised to stay
by the old farm and make it success.

A SKULL FOR "HAMLET."
ybe Odd Manner In Which the Eldex
Booth Acquired One.


Booth Acquired One.
The elder Booth acquired skull for
use in Hamlet in an odd manner, ac-
cording to a story In Seen and Heard.
The tragedian, somewhat in his cups,
was travelling near Louisville when he
took a horse from a field and rode off
with it. Horse stealing at that time
was a capital offense in Kentucky, and
the greatest horse thief was man
named Fontaine. Booth was soon over
taken and when asked where he got
the animal said:
Il captured him in a field back
here"
indeed said one Of the farmers.
"And what might your name be?"
MY name is Fontaine,' said Booth,
without a smile.
"Fontalne" calculated both men ST.
multaneously, Then you are the very
man we Want. Come back to town
with US
"Certainly," said Booth in the most
good natued manner, and, wheeling
his horse, he rode back to Louisville
with his captors.
The city Jail was then in charge of a
Colonel Thomas, who knew Booth
