SHOULD PREPARE FOR FIRE.
Simonsville People Got Another Scare
 This Week.

Those who witnessed the destruction done by fire in Simonsville a. few years ago can readily understand why the neighborhood was a scene of much confusion yesterday morning when 1t became known that another fire was in progfess in that district The con fiagration that wiped out several hand some homes and left many worthy families penniless is still fresh in the minds of people who saw it, let alone the ones who lost all their worldly possessions in it, and it is no wonder that everybody was excited at hearing that the flames were again at work among them. In this case, the same as some of the others, the families car ried no insurance on their furniture and have to begin over again. This is a great mistake. 1t does not cost much to guard against losses by fire and every family should make provis- ion for such contingencies, for they come when least expected and it is pretty hard for people to see the prop erty that it took them years to pay for go up in smoke. The Simonsville people have often talked of organizing a fire company and it looks as if they were blind to their own interests in not doing something in that direction. Whats the matter with our Simons- vile friends, anyway? They have churches, schools, and a number of handsome residences, all of which are at the mercy of fire. We suggest that a committee composed of such men as Cornelius Tracy, A. B. Simons, David Hunter, Samuel Nuttall, John Buchanan. David Hull John A. Os- borne, Thomas H. Hayes, Dwight Sorners and William Pritchard get to- gether and see what they can do tow ards stirring up the people to a realiza- tion of their duty to themselves and their neighbors in the matter of fire protection.

SHORT CALENDAR.
Suit of Cordelia O'Neill Against City
 Lumber and Coal Go.

LuLuUeI duu 'OOdl OO
 Short calendar in the district court before Judge Cowel1 this morning was mainly devoted to a triangular arg ment between Attorneys O'Neill, Bron- son and Seery. The point, or rather points argued were two or three mo- tions in the suit of Cordelia O'Neill against the City Lumber and Coal company. The latter, 1t seems, con- tracted to do some work for the for mer The work was done, but not to the satisfaction of the plaintiff, nor, as she now claims, as had been speci- fed. She is ready and willing to pay for the work nevertheless, but does not know to whom it is payable. There were minor contractors on the work and as she does not wish to have to pay the money twice, she asked the court to decide to whom she shall pay it. Attorney Seery claimed his client, Contractor Mckay, is the proper per son. and Attorney Bronson stands up for the City Lumber and Coal com pany. Interpleaders, counter mo- tions, co-defendants, briefs, demurrers and all the veXations and perpleXities of law appear to be intermingled for the mystification of Judge CowelPs mind. The matter has been year on the docket and all this time has been accumlating legal posers. To- day Attorney Bronson charged Mir O'Neill with failure to do a certain thing, whereupon MT O'Neill insisted he had done this thing and for proof displayed a paper showing he had done it. ''Ah, but you did it in your own way, not as the law requires" s'Ho, ho," replied MT O'Neill, Not as the law requires, hey? What other way could I do it?'' And then MT Bronson would laugh and repeat. What other way could he do itv'
 MT O'Neill wanted the matter dis posed of instantly, but MT Bronson said if allowed another week he would set forth the particulars so plainly that it can be settled without any bother. So it was continued q week. All the other business went over.
 Cases were assigned for hearing next week as follows: Derwin against Gil martin, Monday; Mary J. Pinkerton vs Merton Burr, Lucy A. Marshall vs Frank Terrell, Tuesday; Richard Lynch and Robert Somers ys city. Thursday.

 of Sir Ellis Ashmead- Bartlett.
 London, Jan 1S.-Marie Corelli, in letter to a paper, caps the climax or the anti-German feeling existing -n England. This authoress declaims Dis sionately against the similarity of the new British army uniforms with those of the German army. Bearing in mind," she writes, ''the absolutely criminal offense against our king ny the vile prints circulated in Germany, is 1t justified or justifiable to insult our brave officers by compelling them 10 wear any uniform even remotely re- gembling that worn by admitted slan- derers of our king, army and coun- try?''
 Marie Corelli adds that it is scarce ly necessary to allude to the wide spread indignation which prevails cv- anywhere at the color and design of the new postage stamps, which are so scs- sentially German in appearance.
 London, Jan 1S.-Andrew Lang joins the long list of critics of Rudyard Kipling's poem. "The Islanders" with q scathing denunciation of the authors s personality MT Lang takes the char acter in ''Stalky & Co., generally sup posed to be Kipling himself, holds him up to derision for his 'unathletic bru- tality," and concludes: "The Ameri- cans notoriously excel in many games, like the Australians. Surely they are none the worse for that. It is not the games but the fanaticism about the games, and the rubbish written against the games. that we have to regret"
