The many friends of Mrs. John
Beale will be panied to learn of hel
sudden death which occurred at hel
home in the northern part of this city
at 7:l5 o'clock Wednesday morning,
after an illness of only three days.
The cause of death is attributed to
tranmatic peritonitis.
Mrs. Beale was born in Ireland
June 1913. At an early age she went
to England, where she met and mar
ried her husband, and in September
1876, she came to this country from
Hadlow Kent, England, and took VI
her residence in Palatka, where she
has since resided.
She was a lifelong communicate
of the Catholic church, and the least
that can be said of her is, that she
was a good woman.
She leaves a husband, one daught
er and four sons to mourn her de
mise, to whom the sympathy of Oul
people is extended.
Impressive funeral services were
held from the Catholic churcl
at 8 o'clock this morning, Father J
O'Brien performing the last sac
rites, and the interment took place
in the Catholic cemetery.
Gerber & Sons had charge of the
funeral arrangements.

Fridays Fire.

The alarm of fire at "A late hour on
Friday afternoon last was occasioned
by the discovery of fire coming from
the roof of the kiln of the Selden
Cypress Door Company. The hose
companies responded promptly and
soon had several streams playing
upon the burning building. Twenty
minutes of fast work placed the fire
under control. The damage is esti-
mated at about 81 900, of which 800
is on the building and 5000 on lumber
in the kiln. Part of this lumber was
destroyed outright, while a part was
damaged by smoke and water, and
can be put in shape again.
The fire is said to have been caused
by spark from some outside agency
catching in pocket in the roof
where dust had collected, and burn
ing through.

The city of Charleston boasts of the
first library In this country supported
by public funds. In the year 1893 the
South Carolina Assembly appropriated
substantial sum Of money for the
purchase Of books for public library.
The Lords Proprietors supplemented
the appropriation later, and the library
was governed by officials appointed by
the Assembly, under the oldest library
laws of America.
In 1740 officers Of n Library Society
were elected in Charleston, and soon
had a membership Of one hundred and
sixty. At the time Of the Revolution
this society owned between six and
seven thousand books, besides pam
phlets and philosophical instruments,
all of which save about 200 volumes
were destroyed by the great fire Of
ITS. The society, however, preserved
Its identity, began the labor Of collec-
ton, and in 1896 removed to the build
ing which 1t now occupies. 1t was en-
dowed in 1900 with the property, real
and personal, of the South Carolina
Jockey Club, including the historic
Washington Race Course, now leased
by the Charleston Exposition.
The society's collection includes
much that is rare and interesting-sev.

tragedies, published according to the

statues Of Queens.

There are three queens commemor-
ated by statues In the city of London--
Victoria, Anne and Elizabeth-though
most Londoners would be puzzled to
find the effigy the last named, Anne
is left untouched In her lonely splen.
dor in ST. Pauls churchyard, says the
London Chronicle. The figure Of our
late queen at Temple Bar Is being
cleaned by the corporation, as is also
that OF her son and successor Mt the
same place, and 1t is TO be regretted
that. while their loyalty leads them to
brighten the obstructive column which
bears these statues, 1t Is not strong
enough to inspire them TO remove that
beast that never grew (or that bird
that never few which crowns 1t. 1t Is,
however, sad that at the church Of st.
Dunstan's in the west, only few yards
off, the greed Of seat letters VIII pre-
vent the king from seeing the fine old
etfigy of one of the most famous OF his
famous predecessors, great Elizabeth.

In several parts of the world q res
nous substance, called ozocerite, and
bearing considerable resemblance to
beeswax, is found, usually in connec-
ton with rock salt and coal. There
are deposits in Austria, Russia, Rou-
mania, Egypt, Algeria, Canada and
Mexico, but, says the Brooklyn Citizen,
ozocerlte has, so far, not been dis
covered in sufficient quantities to pay
for mining anywhere except in the dis
trict of Roryslav, in Austrian Galicia,
and on an island on the west coast OF
the Caspian Sea. In mining this min
eral wax shafts are sunk until a bed
or "nest" Of ozocerite is struck. Then
connecting galleries are driven. There
is considerable danger, and many lives
have been lost in consequence OF the
sudden forcing up of the soft wax into
the shafts by the enormous pressure
to which 1t is subjected. 1t is used
largely for manufacturing ceresin,
which is employed, together with bees
wax, for making wax candles, as well
as in the manufacture Of monograph
cylinders, and for many similar pur'
poses.
