The fire attracted an immense crowd, and
It was in the eager quest for points Of van

the Allan line. This building was but a
flmsy affair, originally built so that II
could be removed from the wharf during
the winter months. When a large number
of people clambered on the roof attention
was drawn to the danger, and the police
just began ordering those on the roof 10

Was not much OF a crash, and it was not
until the screams OF those pinioned by the
timbers rent the air that the disaster was
realized.
A rush. was made to the spot, and for the
next half hour there was a scene Of be
wildering excitement and confusion. Thi
rescuers pulled off the heavy corrugated
iron roofing and twisted apart the broken
timbers. Ambulances we're called from all
the hospitals, but 1t was fully two hours
before the last OF the victims had been
carried away. Many we're able to go to
their homes. Two dead bodies were recov-

GAME WAS yUsT GETTING GOOD
Police Catch Eighteen COIored Men
BusIIy ENGAGED in
Pastime.

"Ain't is a shame, a measly shame to
take your honey out Of the game. When
the police entered Tom Vans pool rooms,
1904 Capitol avenue, last night, the colored
crap marksmen Of the Third ward were
crowding eagerly about a pool table, like
flee about q splash OF molasses on the
kitchen floor. and a stirring game Of craps
was in progress.
Come seven, come 'leven!' was the cry
as the bones ratified down and fingers
snapped.
"Dere's Big Dick! Mammals money!
Oh, Lordy!"
When one Of the shooters noticed the
plain clothes officers stealing in at the
door, he took it for a holdup and meekly
held up his hands, while a mulatto streak
through the air betokened the escape Of
another through the back door. But the
rest, eighteen in number. we're taken to
the police station in three trips OF the
patrol wagon. 1t was a spade flush every
, time. Tom w. Van Of Ga North Fifteenth
street, Ole Jackson of 1119 Davenport
street, Bob Johnson OF 1119 Davenport
street. and Mack Smart Of 1924 Capitol
avenue, we're charged with keeping a gam
bling house and thirteen Of the others with
gambling. The remaining two, who were
merely onlookers, were held as inmates OF
the house.
The police for some time have had ar
idea that a game was in progress, but were
never able to catch the craps on the move
because Of the careful outlook kept. Last
night Detective Drummy, who wore for the
first time an automobile cap like that Of
Frank Daniels In the play, was able to ap.
proach unrecognized and seize Charlie Tur.
ner, who was on sentry duty. Emergency
officer Baldwin caught the other and the
rest was easy.

keep open as long as | could"

EEDhcheht tuAhTbs
No more proficient fakirs are to be found
in New York than the women who sell laces
and shoulder shawls in the fashionable
shopping streets. These women usually
work in groups Of two or three and cry
their wares in a low, monotonous voice
which sounds as II they were talking among
themselves. They represent the Romany
races and insist that they can speak no
English. Like the majority OF the sidewalk
saleswomen, they wear no hats. Rain or
snow has no terrors for them. They simply
cover their baskets with oilcloth, draw their
dull -colored shawls over their heads and
stand in a doorway until the worst has
passed. ANY one watching a group OF these
women will note that competition between
them Is not keen. They have a common
object, to fleece the unsuspecting with
American factory goods and to turn the
proceeds over to the padrone who sends
them out.
To the careless observer, all these street
saleswomen look alike by reason of their
foreign ~peech, their dun-eolored garments,
their dark, hatless heads and their shupHlng
gait, but to their customers, on whom they
work many clever tricks, they present
divers curious traits. No keener business
women are to be found in the metropolis
and their bank accounts would make we'll
dressed, we'll groomed stenographers and
supercilious clerks OF indoor shops open
their eyes in wonder. The street sales
woman is not In business for the sake Of
avoiding Homework. nor because down
town holds a fascination for her. She is
there because she and her family need the
money-and she usually gets it.

Strange Effects of Certain Sensations and Sights Upon Nervous

 "Unaccountable," said physician, according to the Philadelphia Record, ''are the antipathies of some people. Do you know that have had for pa- tients dozen men who would faint on being shut up in room with any sort of large bird?
 "There is certain odd nervous dis ease which creates an aversion to eggs --so strong an aversion that an egg placed on the skin of one of the af- ficted persons brings on convulsions. 1'On some highly-organized consti- tutions nose-bleed is produced in the strangest way. The medical books tell of Chesne, secretary to Francis l.. who bled' at the nose on sight of an apple and of Diego Rodriguez, Cuban recently deceased, who would bleed at the nose whenever he smelt the flower. of the heLotrope.
 'sThe sight of raw fish gives some. people fever. The proximity of cat gives some headache. The sight of blood-but this is common-makes some swoon. The touch of velvet gives some a violent chill
 These cases have cited are we'll authenticated. They are interesting. We doctors are always very glad to come upon them.''

5REAT SCARCITY OF HORSES.
Not Equal to the Country's Growing Demand.

We are horse poor-not as some people are land poor, because they have too much-but horse poor be- cause we haven't enough horses. After the civil war we found our selves short of horses of the bigger types and began importing them for breeding purposes We imported them to good purpose and in very large numbers and greatly improved the quality of our stock. When elec- 'tricity began to haul street cars the market for the commoner kinds of horses fell off and farmers didn't breed so many. When the automo- piles began to appear and were her aided as machines that must super sede the use of carriage horses the breeders of the better class of horses took fright.
 For years after 1893, too, thousands of people who wanted horses could not afford them. But with the return of prosperity the demand for good horses began to grow again and breeders bred more of them, reports Harper's Weekly. But it takes about five years to raise horse that is fit for the market and the breeders got behind. The demand has outrun the supply. The price of good horses has increased very greatly and inn ported stallions are said to be worth nearly ten times what they were ten years ago. The South African war took a great number of horses out oS the country, including many worthless ones, but the business of horse-breeding has revived so much that we shall soon have again 8 req sonably full supply.
 Enterprising farmers nowadays breed good horses. It pays, and breeding poor horses doesn't pay. We import horses from Europe for breeding purposes and from Canada for use, but of late we have exported far more than we have imported and are likely to keep on doing so. The annual horse show in New York, which seems on its surface to be 8 frivolous spectacle. really holds a highly important relation to one of the great industries of the country. It is the parent of all the American horse shows and, with them, con stantly measures, stimulates and di- rects the country's progress in the breeding of fine horses. There are about 13,5oo,ooo horses in our land, of an estimated value of $6o4 1000, ,00o. The improvement of that much stock is a pretty important matter, espe- cial1y in these days, when Europe is horse poor, too, and ready to take from us any surplus of good horses that we may come to have.

FOR THIRTY-NINE CENTS.
Lawyer Without Much FormaIity.

A local business man who was once the representative of one of the big mercantile agencies tells a story of how he became a member of the bar in the state of Virginia a number of years ago says the Washington Star. He had occasion to go to one of the inland counties of the state to make an examination of the county records m order to ascertain the standing in the county of number of country merchants. Upon reaching the rail- road station he found it necessary to drive distance of ten miles or more over road which was mere apol ogy for a highway. Reaching the county seat he wentto the clerks office in the courthouse and proceeded to look over the records as he had done in many other places without any ob- jection being offered. While he was still on his first book, he was asked by one of the clerks if he was mem- Der of the bar.
 ''N'ot in Virginia he answered, in tone indicating that he was member of the bar elsewhere.
 s'I'm sorry," said the young man, @but in this county it is against the rules for anybody other than law yer to handle the books"
 It was explained to the clerk that the legal talent in the firms employ could not be found, and d S the law yer lived more than two miles away, he would not have time to get, him un- less he missed the next train.
 There will be no trouble in arrang- ing the matter" the clerk informed the Washingtonian.
 Entering a private room, the oath subscribed to by attorneys was admin istered, and q certificate showing the stranger was full-fedged lawyer was handed over to him.
 "What shall do .now?" the clerk was asked.
 sPay the fee," he answered.
 ''What is the amount?"
 "Thirty-nine cents," was the clerks prompt response.
 The money was paid and the man from Washington returned home and told how he became a lawyer for the small sum of go cents.
