A short time before midnight on

Of rushing feet and shouted inquiries
as to the whereabouts OF the fire re.

the city.
Dense clouds Of smoke lighted mp
by lurid reflection Of flame were seen
rolling onto Main street from Fifth
avenue, and the fire was located az
the small wooden store occupied by
Burleson Bros, which is situated be-

Horse livery barn. Several employees
of the ARGUS were present and with
the assistance of citizens. who had ar
rived at the scene of the fire. carried
water and held the fire in check until
the apparatus of the fire department
was in position.
Water was pumped from the creek
and owing to the fact that the engine
has been given a thorough overhaul

club swinging by Miss Ruth Cressap.
Miss Cressap. who has evidently had
considerable practice at the art, gave
an excellent exhibition of scientific
club swinging to the rhythmic meas
ure and pleasant cadence OF the Vene'
tian waltzes and received a very
hearty encore. The audience was not
to be denied and Miss Cressap gave
a further illustration Of the art Of
handling the Indian clubs, which was
received enthusiastically.
The orchestra a composed Of
Bart Noble. violin; Ed. Fitzhugh. pi-
ano: W. H. Culver, cornet, and some
well played selections were rendered
by them during the intervals.
The entertainment was brought to
a close by a very beautiful represen.

Women" the cast OF which was as fol.
lows:
Helen of Troy, Mrs. Waite; Typhigina,
Miss Phillips; Cleopatra, Mrs. Arthur;

The ladies' of the Home Workers

which the entertainment was gotter

the Dream of Fair Women was only
one of a series of three, the last oil

The amount realized from the enter

An Exclamation Requested.

The late John w. Bailey, managing
editor Of the Philadelphia Record, had
a large fund Of stories and anecdotes
concerning typesetters' mistakes. AS
is generally known, his career on
the Record began in the composing
room, from the foremanship Of which
he was raised into the executive
editorial position he held until the
time Of his recent death. One even
ing when member of the Record
staff was looking through his proofs
and grumbling at the arbitrary divis-
ions Of words made by the typesetters,
Mr. Bailey told of comp" who once
divided the word horses" making
a syllable Of "hor" and driving "ses"
into the next line. The proof reader,
of course, marked .shorses" to be put
undivided into one line. When the
marked proof reached the typesetter
he waxed indignant, called the atten-
ton Of his fellows to what he termed
the proof readers ignorance, and,
after explaining the circumstances,
declared himself as follows:
eff that amt the way to divide
horses how IN the devil should it
be divided?"

EXPLAINS PELEE's ACTIONS.
Views Of Prof. VerrilI on the Recent
ERUPTION


Some Of the phenomena attending
the destruction Of st. Pierre have
been difficult to explain, especially
the sheet Of flame that seems to have
accompanied Or closely followed the
violent explosion of gas.
Prof. Verrill of Yale states his view
to be that the heat is sufficient to
cause the dissertation of hydrogen
and oxygen from water coming sud-
denly into contact with the lava IN the
crater, and that in the case Of sea
water chloride would be ASSOCIATED
from sodium.
These gases suddenly elected with
great violence and exploding in the
air above the crater would produce
the effects manifested on so great a
scale at Martinique.
The people were killed by the sud-
den explosion of vast volume Of
hydrogen and oxygen; and this ac-
counts for the sudden burning Of flesh
and clothes, as well as of buildings
and Of vessels in the roadstead.
The chlorine combining WITH some
Of the hydrogen would produce hydro
chloric acid, which is poisonous and
suffocating and would quickly kill all
those not destroyed by the first e.
plOSiOn.

Tim Donahue, the baseball catcher,

Cassidy, and some others were argu-
ing.
The argument grew so noisy that a
travelling man in the next room beat
On the door and said:
For heavens sake you fellows keep
quiet. I've got to catch an early train
and want some Sleep"
After that the argument was less up
roarious, and an hour later when all
was subdued, Moran, an inveterate
joker, said to Tim:
Tim, it's an Internal shame the way
you treated that travelling man."
1.-THE way treated him." said Don
ahue Indignantly. why, you fellows
were making all the noise"
OF course the entire crowd supported
Moran and Tim lost the argument
Finally he said:

he went into the hall, beat on the

Marvellous Navigating Feata OF Marshall
ISLAND Natives.
The German protectorate Of the Mar.
shall Islands. which lie just east OF the
Carollnes. In the equatorial Pacific,
contain the most daring sailors known
They are constantly performing feata
in navigation that European sailors
feared TO venture on long after they
had the compass, which instrument
by the way. the Marshall Islanders
reject as useless.
The archipelago lies in two widely
separated groups, the Radack and the
Raliek chains. and IN each chain the
islands lie, FOR the most part. at ex-
tensive intervals Yet the native pilots
conduct voyages all over their own
archipelago and to the Carolines in
one direction and the Gilberts I'm an.
other. For this voyage they rely upon
charts Of their own construction. the
knowledge having been handed down
from remote antiquity. These charts
arc generally about n yard square and
are constructed Of slender sticks tied
together At some intersections of
the sticks are fastened small shells,
which stand for the different islands
The pilot posts himself I'm the bow of
the vessel with his chart before him.
He begins by establishing the partic-
ular shell corresponding TO the island
from which he is just sailing. He sets
the course as indicated by one Of the
sticks radiating from that shell i'm the
proper direction. Thereafter he watches
the course Of the sea with very slight
use Of the heavenly bodies for the de-
termination of direction.
They make no secret Of their art.
They are often at great pains to teach
it to white men, and wonder that no
one has yet been found capable of
grasping it. Their explanation is that
each stick on the chart shows the
course Of stream in the sea, and that
by following the streams they can
find their way to their destination.
They claim to see these streams with
their intersections just as shown by
the sticks. Whatever may be the ex-
PLANTATION, it is certain that they navi-
gate hundreds of miles OF empty ocean
with neither compass nor chronometer
nor other instruments save a chart Of
sticks. If by any accident they go
astray they make no attempt to con-
tinue the voyage, but run at once down
to leeward until they make familiar
landfall.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Carry Your Wealth with You.

This greatest riches-in fact, all the
wealth that is of real value-must
centre in yourself. You must be rich
within, not outside of YOURSELF rich
in the things that financial panics,
fluctuations of trade, accidents by
food or fire, dishonesty of business
associates, or errors Of judgment can
not rob you of. Your greatest invest
ment must be self-investment; invest
ment in health, in courage, in kindh-
nes~ in nobility of manhood OF wo-
manhood.
Whoever you come in contact with
should be conscious of your wealth; its
influence should radiate from every
pore; it should look out OF your eyes;
it should eXhale fragrance in your
speech; it should manifest itself in
your Geeds; it should shed warmth,
light and comfort within its radius;
it should reach your whole com
munity. Real riches should be like
the wealth of the rose, which fings
out its beauty and fragrance to every
passer-by. There is no stinting Of its
favors, no reserve Of selGshness; all
it has it gives. This is true wealth.
