PAINT STORE BURNED
TWO FIRES ON COMMERCE
STREET YESTERDAY.
Stock Of Montgomery Paint and Glass
Company Almost Completely
Destroyed-Fire at the
Windsor Hotel.

That ut never rains but 1t pours' was
exemplified by the fire fiend yesterday
morning when there seemed to be an
epidemic of fires on Commerce Street.
Between s and o'clock fire was dis
covered In the store occupied by the
Montgomery Paint and Glass Company
at 113 Commerce Street. The store was
filled with paints, varnishes and other in
flamable materials and fierce fire and
dense black smoke was soon pouring from
the building The members of the fire
department answered the down town call
with promptness and sharp quick work
by them confined the fire to the building
in which it originated.
In the same building and only sepa-
rated from the paint store by thin
partition Is the dry goods and notion
store Of Marcus Katz, and the strenuous
efforts of the firemen alone prevented
that store from being almost "a total loss
as was the stock of the paint company.
The projectors of the paint company,
Thomas w. deYampert and Watson X.
Harwell. were unable yesterday to state
| the exact loss. They carried Insurance
on their stock, but are unable to estimate
| the loss until the claims are adjusted.
| Mr.. Eatz was unable to state his loss
yesterday. He also carried insurance,
which will be adjusted today.
/ AT IL U CIJCh ytSttiUds inns thc
| department was again called to answer
| an alarm from Commerce Street, Box No.
| "a, at the corner of the Windsor Hotel
| and Commerce Street.
| Fire had been discovered in the cellar
| which fortunately had nothing IN 1t or
| the result might have been disastrous.
The entire fire department was called
out and in marvelously short tine the
asphalt pavement leading from the Wind
| sor Hotel to the Union passenger station
was strevn with mass of hose.
| By going down the elevator shaft ard
| tearing up parts of the Office floor the
| fremen succeeded in getting at the fire..
though with great difficulty. for under the
office floor were two brick walls. This
made the location of the fire. a difficult
task, but by hard work the firemen found
it and with Babcocks put 1t out of 5usi-
ness.
Manager Mckinney of the ho.el says
| that he thinks the fire originated from
some crossed electric wires. No water
was used and beyond tearing up the Of
fee floor in a couple Of places Mr.. Nc
Kinney says that the damage will not
amount to more than 81 or s..
from Holt Street. Smoke was discovered
issuing from the kitchen OF J. p. Glenn
ents. who lives at so Holt Street. The
blaze which had apparently started from
defective chimney. was extinguished
with little efforts before the firemen ar
rived. The damage was fnconsiderable.

Seismic Shocks Continue in Portion
of the Republic.

Mexico City. June 2.-Earthquake shocks
continue in that portion of the State oil
Guerrero where seismic activity has Ions
been a mater of observation and record
and where the government engineers have
given study ton the phenomena. There
was a renewal of earthquake shocks
Sunday in Chilpancingo which is just
recovering from the previous shock that
ruined the city, which is the capital OF
the State of Guerrero. There was also
strong sup and down earthquake SHOCK

Many foolish stories are told OF Mr

fond of surrounding him with glamor
of romance. But he does not weep while
playing a piano; he does not spend
hours in mourning over the loss of his
early love; he docs not eat quail on toast

yet practical man. with a sane and hearty
enjoyment of life. He is widely read on
many subjects and can converse In

And he can play the last named extreme

and very fond OF entertaining his friends.
He is absurdly generous with his money.
and no poor compatriot ever appeals to
him in vain. On the whole he is a most
lovable man. and he makes an army of
friends in any place where he tarries long
enough to become known. He is today the

he is and always will be a modest and

How ineradicable is the Japanese senti-
ment of death rather than dishonor was
shown In rather ludicrous way In the
early days of the modern Constitution. A
young Japanese midshipman on board a
British man-of-war was reprimanded by
the authorities at Toxic for some small
indiscretion, and on the receipt of the
letter went and committed '.harakirl" in
the ward room. The romantic novels of
Japan are full of instances of this time
honored custom-the most famous of
which is the story of 1.-THE Forty-seven
Ronins." The vendetta. though impera-
lively prescribed by custom, was forbid
den by law, much the same as duelling
with us. To take vengeance on an enemy
was inevitable to al chivalrous Japanese,
but 1t also involved capital punishment
in "harakiri."
