Keep 1t Up.

A great many business men advertised
extensively for the holiday trade who do
not advertise in the newspapers at
other times that they would like to stimu-
late trade. BY continuing to use the
newspaper columns for smaller adver-
tisements they could retain the benefit
of their recent spreading. To stop now
for year or for month is to lose the
prestige they have gained. [Philadel-

Cold Weather and Scarcity of Fuel

The recent cold wave has produced
discontinue in Alexandria, as elsewhere.
The price of anthracite coal has scared
beyond the reach of many, and how to
keep warm during the next three months
is serious problem 20 numbers. Pur-
chasing coal in small lots is unsatisfactory
and very expensive; while on the other
hand the continuous burning of wood is
more so. In using the latter fires can
not be kept going during the night and
the discontinue experienced by those
having to arise in cold houses on bleak
mornings can we'll be imagined. The
demand for fuel had become so urgent
that some dealers were compelled to
deliver wood Yesterday.

FIRE AND HAIL
FALL FROM
SKIES

BERLIN, April 14-A violent thunder
storm, accompanied by torrential rain,
broke over Berlin and it's vicinity early
today. Many buildings were struck by
lightning The fire brigade was summon
ed to upwards of three hundred places to
extinguish fires and cope with floods.
The water was so deep around the ap-
proaches to the railroad station on Fried
richs-strasse that it was impossible to
reach the depot. At the Lehrte station
some of the waiting rooms had to be
abandoned.
A portion of tue embankment of the
Potsdam railroad, near Schoenburg, was
swept away, and similar damage to the
circular railroad necessitated suspension
of traffic.
The streets were so flooded that the
street cars, in several districts were stop
ned. The roads were almost impossible
for pedestrians and, consequently the
schools were closed. The museum was
considerably damaged.
The decorative portions of many build
ings and the statues in the House squares
we're seriously damaged by hall, which
for a time, fell most heavily.
Trains were unable to leave the Stettin
station because of the floods.
The cellars Of the Royal theatre and the
Reichsbank are under water.

PLAN
TO TEL[.OF
GOODS
PANORAMA OF ATLANTA IN
DUSTRIES WILL BE MADE A
FEATURE OF THE FAIR OF At
LANTA MANUFACTURERS.

One of the most striking features of the
coming industrial fair will be Panorama
of Atlantas Industries.
This is a brand new idea, and will likely
attract great deal of attention, not only
locally and through the state, but through
the whole south.
The idea, in brief. is to have a number
of photographs taken of the interiors and
exteriors of Atlantas manufacturing
plants, showing in detail the workings Of
these immense enterprises; and then TO
project the photographs upon an immense
canvas by means of a stereopticon. AS
each picture is shown, a brief explanation
will be made to the spectators. ~
There are hundreds Of manufacturing
concerns within the corporate limits OF
Atlanta, or within radius of a very few
miles. about which the average citizen
knows little or nothing. 1t will be the
object of this panorama to familiarize At
Ianta with Atlanta's manufactures, and
to demonstrate to the visitor to what ex-
tent Atlanta production has increased.
The interior of cotton mills, candy fac
tories, hosiery mills, pants factories ana
scores of other concerns will be shown up
on the big screen. Resting hours as well
as working hours will be shown, and es-
pecially that later phase Of the modern
factory life, wherein the employer consid-
ers the comfort and convenience OF MS
hands. Immense machines will be pictur-
ed at work; great rooms full Of machinery;
hundreds of men and women bending TO
their daily tasks. Processes will be ex-
hibited, showing the conversion OF raw
material into finished products.
Altogether the exhibition, which mas
been planned by Secretary Walter q.
Cooper. promises to be one of the most
interesting features of the big fair.

PENSACOLA, Fla, April 14.-Captain
NARROW, of the fishing schooner Irma, ar
rived yesterday and reported that while
less than twenty miles from Pensacola
and near the outer beach, he discovered
large dark object moving awkwardly in
the water, and in going nearer saw that
the object was whale about so feet In
length. He said he went within snort
distance of the big sea inhabitant and had
a good look at IL. The big fish had come
too close in and had been caught on the
beach by the rapidly receding tides. It's
struggles were powerful. and Captain
NARROW said as It threw its tan around
the sand and water were forced, away up
in the air. The captain thinks that II
had been on the beach for day or so, as
it had ''cradled" itself in the sand by its
struggles.
When the captains report spread about
town, the city sports became much in
terested and preparations to capture the
monster were at once instituted. Several
parties are being fitted out, it is stated.
and will go to wheretthe whale is reported
to have been stranded.
