Horses and Mules cremated.

Fire last night which started in a bar bershop on Second Avenue and Twenty fourth Street, spread to a stable con- ducted by the Griffin Transfer Company. The fire was in a big blaze before discov- cred and though one of the fire depart ment stations was within block, before attention was caIled to the flames the an- imals confined in the stable were being burned to death. Eight horses were saved and eight others were cremated with nine mules. The horses and mules made des- perate efforts to extricate themselvs but were first overcome with smoke and then burned.
 The animals belonged to the Griffin Transfer Company, T. E. Brent. T. w. Green and M. T. McCurdy. The loss Is more than 5000 on which there is but little insurance. The barbershop was com pleteiy destroyed and s. w. Byers has loss of about $20O.

Wants Wife With a Personal d. f, ct

A few days ago in New York this ad-
vertlsement appeared In city paper:
Young man, moderate circumstances,
and who has glass eye, would like to
form the acquaintance of young girl who
also has glass eye or some other de-
tormlty not more severe; girl must be re-
spectacle; money unnecessary; object, ma
tnmony. n. 543, -. up town"
The man who inserted it called last
evening for his replies. He received
large number. He was tall and handsome,
and no one would suspect the visual de-
feet from casual glance at him. When
a reporter asked him about the strange
advertisement, the man said:
Il would rather you did not publish my
name. l am an inspector for the Inter
urban Railway Company, and my stand Is
at Canal street and West Broadway. 1
am surprised to receive so many answers
to my advertisement. l was a machnist
ten years ago, and a piece of iron flew
up and struck my eye, destroying the
sight and making 1T necessary for me to
wear q glass eye.
Il earn $40 a week and wish to marry.
But l think it wise of me TO marry girl
who has some personal defect, so that she
viii not be so apt to fling up my deformi
ty should we ever be so unfortunate as to
quarrel. l know many splendid girls who
have no deformity or defect but | fear
to ask any of them to be my wife, be-
cause the human temper is uncertain and
should not wish to be tainted by her
with having a glass eye. A wife with
some physical blemish-not too pro-
nounced, of course, would be more suited
to me- | think"
The young writer's mail was remarka-
bic. Writing from an uptown hotel, one
writer says: meet me at Forty-sixth
street and Fifth avenue at $40 O'Clock
Thursday afternoon. l shall wear a big
picture hat and you wear pink carna
ton in your lapel. I, too, have a glass
eye Another letter read: Il come of
one of the most respected families in
Brooklyn | have slight facial deform
ity. | wish very much to meet you" A
New Jersey girl wrote: Il have no glass
eye, alas! But could you not love me just
as well? l am considered by those who
know me to be charming girl, perfect
in face and form, and / think myself
that 1 am very pretty. l like your mod
esty in advertising for a wife with
deformity, and am sure I would like you
Will you not overlook my not having
glass eye, please?'' The car inspector left
the office much pleased, apparently, with
his missives.
Il think l can find my bride from one
of these he said, holding up the letters.

Burned to Death.
(Pilot Mountain News.)

We learn that on Wednesday evening
Lizzie, the 6-year-old daughter of Mr.
Thompson Rodgers, of Dan River, was
burned to death
The particulars as we have been able
to get them are as follows: Lizzie was
sent to the kitchen to kindle a fire aud
the wood being wet she was pouring kero-
sene oil on the fire when it caught, the
can and stove both exploded throwing the
burning oil over the child. Mrs. Rodgers
hurried to her rescue and was badly burn
ed in tearing the clothing from the child
DR.. j. j. Leake was summoned and did
all he could for the suffering little one
but she was burned too badly for medical
skill to be of any service. She died about
IL O'Clock Wednesday night, after about
SIX hours of suffering. Mr.. Rodgers is a
prominent citizen and a good farmer ard
has the sympathy of the community in
this distressing bereavement.

same story. Dugald Stewart, Reid, Aber
crombie and Bentham were parsons sons.
In general literature we find multltudes
of ministers sons-Swift, Macaulay,
Thackeray, Kingsley and Matthew Arnold
were clergymen's sons. OF the more re-
cent past or still living are such men as
Lord Charles Beresford, Lord Curzon,
Cecil Rhodes, w. T. Stead, Anthony Hope,
R. d. Blackmore, Henry James, Marcus
Dods and Grant Allen. Such names as
these, supplemented by thousands less
conspicuous, but none the less useful, that
can be found in any American or English
work of national biography, will stand as
an abiding witness that ministers sons
turn out-and they turn out well.

The ten Greatest Men,
(From Harper's Weekly


A German newspaper has recently pro-
pounded to its readers the question, Who
are the 10 greatest men alive today? An
examination Of the replies received makes
interesting reading. Five hundred and
two readers voted for Tolstoi: the Ger
man historian Mommsen was a close Sec
ond with 496; Marconi followed with AS;
Ibsen received 425; Edison, 36S; Nansen.
2.0; Roentgen, 264; Mcneil the German
painter, 248; Koch, the bacteriologist, 23S.
while the Kaiser ANONYMOUSLY brought up
the rear with only 202. 1t is well to note
that OF these 10 candidates six are Ger
man. Such insignificant personages as
Herbert Spencer, George Meredith and
Thomas Hardy were not even mentioned.
Among those who received over leo votes
were Chamberlain, the Russian novelist
Gorky, Hauptmann. the dramatlst, and
Max Klinger, the German artist.
