There was smoker given a few
evenings ago by a man whose name
IS familiar to every New Yorker He
mad invited only few of his most in.
innate friends, ard everybody knew
everybody else. Only one man did not
seem thoroughly at home. He was a
qulet unassuming sort of chap, and as
the convivial company begaa to recall
ether geod times they hat. mad to-
getner he withdrew to the depths of a
leather arm chair in far-off corner
3 and seemed to feel out of place.
:, the group about the table became
more and more reminiscent and soon
pe6an 20 talk of college days. This
seemed to make the little man draw
. into himself more taan ever and he be.
gan to frown. Finally three men at
one end OF the tabled clinked glasses
ard yelled in unison:
Raa! rah! rah! Tiger! Sis-hoom-
all! Princeton.! -
Immediately little group formed
opposite; there was hurried filling
OF glasses and then the windows rat
tied TO the. tune of:
HRah! rah! rah! Penn-syl-van-i-ah!"
Ten seconds later there came from
another group strenuous
"Rah' rah! rah Rah. rah. rah!
Rah! rah! rah! Yale.~
The little man in the leather chair
sat up and locked disgusted. He was
about to sink back again, thinking
the noise was at an end, when two
men joined in another college yell.
This was too much for the little
man. He rose to lis full height, stood
UP en- his e,.ai., waived his hands Wild

why he had eaten nearly all the rails

the letter lies for how could it have

RED FOR CRIME
BLUE FOR DIVORCE
WHITE FOR CIVIL
CoIors Used to Indicate
Character of
Cases.
SCHEME OF COUNTY CLERK Wise

County Clerk ]. ]. Wise has institu-
ted an innovation in the clerks Office
in the way of wrappers or covers for
petitions and other legal documents.
The color of the cover indicates the
character of the case. Rare judgment
has been shown in selecting the col
ors. Criminal cases have been encased
in red wrappers, indicative of red
handed crime that is rampant. Divorce
cases have blue covers, which resemble
in a degree the atmosphere in the
home where divorce petition becomes
necessary. Civil cases have as a dis
tinguishing feature manila wrapper
of nondescript color, that might be
called any old thing from buff to a
bleached-out white. This difference in
color makes the selection of papers
from the files very easy.
Divorce petitions are in the same
file case with the civil petitions and
some idea of the proportion of the two
can be ascertained by the colors. More
than one-fourth Of the number are in
blue wrappers.

When the department arrived the
coke sheds and wareroom were a mass
of flames. The streams of water play
ed upon them seemed to have little eff
feet. The burning coke dropped down
into large piles of pig iron, and soon
this building was seething furnace of
red hot metal.
1t was in the pattern shop and the
wareroom, just below it, that the great
est loss was sustained. The latter was
filled with the finished product of the
company, hot water and steam heat
ers, which were rendered useless. AS
this is the beginning Of the busy sea-
son this room was we'll stocked.
In the pattern shop the machinery
was destroyed as well as some patterns
in the course Of construction. The
| fire, however, did not reach the vaults
where the patterns are stored. This is
most fortunate for the company.
Flames reached the roof of the ma
chine shop, but did little damage. In
this and the boiler rooms and foundry
department water caused slight loss
J The boilers. however, are practically
unharmed.

company, and D. r. McCallum, vice
president, were both out of the city
Thursday night, the former being in

H. E. Sherlock, secretary and treasur-
er, stated tnat the loss would be al
last $4,000, fully protected by insur-
ance.
This is the second disastrous fire
which has visited this factory within
two years. In March, 1902, the plant
| was nearly destroyed.
Four sections of hose belonging to
the fire department burst and one was
cut by an East Tuscarawas street car
which passed over the crossing before
the motorman noticed the hose.

IN CONSULTATION.

The circuit judges, after hearing sew
en- appeal cases, went into retirement
Friday morning and are making up
their decisions. The case of Ellen Sci

controversy over alimony following a

lance, against r. G. Butler and Will

tribution of over $4,000, was partially
tried before Judge Amber Thursday
and then settled out Of court. The
amount was the profits resulting from
the scale of coal lease negotiated by
the three near Amsterdam in Jeffer-
son county. Coates had an expense ac-
count of $500 which the other fell
lows refused to recognize. The terms
of the settlement were not made known

NOVELTY IRON PLANT AGAIN
VISITED BY DISASTROUS FIRE
Loss OF $4,000 Sustained by Confasration
Which Broke Out Thursday Evenins-.Hard
Fight For Fire Department.

Sparks from passing locomotive on
the Pennsylvania railroad are believed
to have been responsible for disas-
trous conflagraton which destroyed
part of the Novelty Iron company's
plant in East Eighth street Thursday
night, causing loss estimated at $780,
600. The greatest damage was done in
the pattern shop, wareroom, scratch
room and coke sheds. Excepting by
water little injury was suffered in the
main parts Of the factory, the foundry
and machine shops and boiler room.
OF the 175 men employed in the
plant, nearly all will be at work with
in few days, as soon as the insurance
Is adjusted.
Within a half hour after the sound
ing of the alarm the fire was under
control, but 1t burned until early Fri
day morning. Trains on the Pennsyl-
vania and Wheeling & Lake Erie roads
were held by lines Of hose stretched
across the tracks.
Shortly before $3.50 o'clock, the
watchman, Thomas, Boyd, saw flames
shooting up from the coke sheds and
scratch room, where the castings are
cleaned. An alarm was sent in to Gen.
trail engine house over the American
District wires and almost at the same
time from box 16. AS soon as Acting
Chief Schario reached the scene he
turned in general alarm, calling out
all the hose companies in the city.
Owing to the position of the factory
along the railroad the fremen found IL
hard to lay lines of hose. The shop
employees assisted with the company's
fire fighting apparatus. For time II
looked as If the entire factory was
doomed. Here and there in the root
of the foundry and machine shop could
be seen little bursts Of flame, which
threatened to break out into aserious
blaze. but the flreproof material in
these buildings prevented moro SER
