ICE MISSION BOARD
Young Women of Raleigh Or
ganize a Noble Charity.
The Sick Who Suffer For Need Of Ice Will be
Cared For by Practical Band Of Yourg
Women.

No more noble young women are to be
found in the State than is to be found
among the young womanhood of Raleigh.
They are prompt to respond to the call
for aid. and when they discover case
where united action for charity is needed
then their benefcient work begins.
then their beneficent work begins.
young women here is the 'Ice Mission
Board" 1t has come to the notice of
the young women that many poor peo-
pie, with sickness in their homes, are
without the means to provide ice, and
in the present weather this is a neces-
sity, one which is recognized by the
physicians.
Thirty young women met yesterday and
organized the Ice Mission Board and the
membership will shortly be increased to
fifty. AS officers the young ladies elect
ed Miss Elsie Phelps, president; Miss
Emily Higgs, secretary; Miss Mamie
Rogers, treasurer, while as lady manager
Mrs. j. S. Atkinson was selected.
The purpose of the Board is to sup
ply ice to any sick people who may be
unable to buy it. and in order to reach
all who are in need, the physicians and
the pastors of the city Will be given
blank certificates to be issued by them
to those in need. These certificates will
be exchanged for ice by the poor, from
Johnson & Johnson's ice wagons or at
the Carolina Ice Factory. The number
of certificates to be issued by the pas
tors and physicians will be unlimited, as
it is proposed to care for every deserving
case.
The financing of the organization will
be looked after carefully. By various
means the young ladies will raise funds
to pay for all the ice needed, and it is
matter which calls for liberal contri-
buttons from all in Raleigh. Boxes will
be placed in the drug stores and other
places for cash contributions, or money
may be sent to the treasurer.
1t is noble work in which Raleigh's
splendid young women have engaged,
and it is certain that the people of the
city will give them every needed sup
port.

How n Physicians Wife COPIED With
Difficulty


The troubles of a physicians wife
are many. Few of the wives of Sa-
vannah medieos will deny this asser-
ton. Chief among their trials they
will probably name that necessity of
their husbands profession that de-
come at dead Of night.
Sometimes it is the case that call
received at so reasonable an hour as
8 O'Clock IN the evening can cause no
little tribulation in a physicians
household. An instance of this was
supplied night before last.
The wife of well-known physician,
another lady and one of the physician
little sons left the house to go to a
nearby drug store. AT home there
were then the doctor and another lit
tie son, though the latter was in bed
and was soon fast asleep. The doc
tor did not know of the departure of
the other members of the household,
So when a call came, he departed,
shutting fast the door behind him.
After a bit the ladies returned. A
grasp upon the doorknob failed to open
the door. They intuitively understood
NHdL udQ happened. "A Cdll - Inc mrs
thing that occurs to the mind of a
Doctors wife when there is any trou-
BILE. Around to the rear they went,
hoping to effect an entrance there.
Disappointed in this hope, they re-
turned to the front, to arouse the
sleeping youth within. He was deaf
to all such meager influences, how
ever. and it was then incumbent upon
the ladies to either sit upon the stoop,
awaiting the return of the doctor,
which might be delayed they knew
not how long, or hit upon some wise
plan that would gain them admittance.
A thought occurred to one, and into
the next-door neighbours she went.
Calling up exchange, she asked the
operator to ring the doctors telephone
loud and long. The operator respond
ed with a will, and for some minutes
the telephone was whirling and buzz
zing in a way that was entirely audible
at the neighbours.
Finally a head was poked from the
upper window. 1t was that of the
doctors son, who had been awakened.
Mamma he yelled why don't you
answer the telephone; it's ringing it's
head Off"
THANK you, my son." said the
mother. Now kindly come down
stairs and open the door for me-"
The boy opened the door, whereupon
the lady tripped to the telephone and
thanked the operator.

of John PetrOG Also Suffered.
Quick and Effective Work of the

the Fire and Nearly SmOthered by
the Smoke.
An alarm of fire from box IS at 2:S5
yesterday afternoon brought the fire.
men to the hottest blaze that has fallen
to them to work on for some time. 1t
had begun to look as if all blazes that
could not be handled by the chemical
engines were thing of the past, but
for the few minutes that it lasted the
firemen had all they wanted for one
day.
The fire was in the two-story frame
structure Nos. 422 to AIS West Broad
street and was started by a pipe from
the tin range in the cookshop on the
ground floor of No. 422. The pipe was
fastened on the outside of the building
to the roof and was separated from the
wood by a sheet of asbestos and it is
supposed that it became redhot and set
fire to the pine boards beneath.
When the men from Nos. 8 and A
reached the fire the second story was
burning brightly and it looked as if the
whole structure was doomed to des-
truction, but in less time than it takes
to tell it the f1remen had the blaze un-
der control To completely extinguish
it was the work of but a few minutes
more. 1t was rapid and intelligent
work was the opinion of all who saw
the start the fire had.
The principal losers are Champion
& Evans, who keep the liquor store at
the corner and have rooms overhead.
Mr.. H. A Champion estimates the total
loss to building and stock of goods,
both from the fire itself and from
smoke and water at $1,500 fully cover
ed by insurance. The building is leased
from the estate of Luke Steward
The Greek, John Petroff, who keeps
the cookshop estimates his loss at
about SIS with no insurance.
The alarm for the fire was turned
in by Policeman Walker of the Union
Station. Shortly afterward some one
turned in second alarm and the con-
fusion that resulted gave the inn
preston that a general alarm had been
sounded and the people began fiocking
from all over the city.
There was crowd of people in the
vicinity of the Union Station on ac-
count of the afternoon excursion trains
and this was soon increased by the
crowds that came to the fire until West
Broad street was packed for two
blocks.
The smoke was dense and the set
tied down into the street nearly suf-
locating the crowd that had gathered.
The Union Station was enveloped and
people in the rotunda dining room and
offices were nearly driven out by it.
