Bath, Me-, Jan. 20.-(SpeciaD. The
Old Ladies Home. situated on High

during the night. All the inmates were
safely removed. The building was
valued at from $500 to $4,000; par

The fire was discovered about 10
O'Clock Monday night. During the day

carefully watched and no danger was
anprehended. In the evening, DR.. Max
well Powers was at the Home calling
ON the matron, Mrs. Duley, a relative,
and smelled smoke. He went to the
basement, where he found big log
near the furnace all ablaze. He soon
extinguished that with the aid of hand
hose and sent in a still alarm for the
chemical company, which promptly re-
srorded, looked over the scene, decided
it was all right and departed.
About 10 minutes later DR.. Powers
again smelled smoke. Calling the maid,
Miss Annie Greenleaf, he sent ner to
the attic and again went to the base
ment.
AS Miss Greenleaf mounted the stairs
the smoke became stronger and as she
opened the attic door, she was nearly
overcome by the huge volume that
rushed out and down upon her.
An alarm was given and a big crowd
soon collected. There were 10 inmates
of the Home, ladies ranging from So to
so years of age. Most of them had re-
tired but willing hands from the crowd
had them all safely out of the house
and in neighboriDg places of shelter,
though some had to be taken out in
their nightclothes. In spite of their
age and the excitement attending the
fire, the ladies We're remarkably cool
and collected and kept their heads well.
The fire swept through the building
at rapid rate. so rapidly that only
part Of the household furnishings
could be removed. 1t was a woouen
structure and was owned by the Old
Ladies Home Association. The fire
was not under control till this morn

DAKOTA DIVORCES.
Decision Which Will Affect
Many Parted Couples.
Six Months Dakota Residence Does
Not Make Divorce Valid.
Important Decision by Supreme Court
Affirming State Decision.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The United
States supreme court. today again
passed upon the validity OF divorces
granted in South Dakota to non-resi-
dents. The case WAS that of Annie An
drews VS.. Kate r. Andrews and the
question ut issue was which was enti-
tied to administer the estate of Charles
$. Andrews, whom both women claimed
was her husband. The record showed
that Mrs. Kate Andrews was the first
wife and that her husband secured a
divorce from her in South Dakota af-
ter having remained there six months.
the time required by the statute of that
state.
The Massachusetts court held that
the decree had been fraudulently Sc
cured, refused to recognize it and re-
cogniZed the first wife as the legal Wild
ow Of Andrews. That was the deci-
sion Of the supreme judicial court OF
Massachusetts, and today's opinion
which was delivered by Justice White
affirmed that holding. He said that
Andrews residence in the state of
South Dakota did not constitute legal
domicile. The case arose out of the
fact that Mr.. Andrews father, Charles
II, Andrews, bequeathed certain prop
erty to the wife of my son, Charles
II. Andrews
Justices Brewer, Shiras and Peckham
dissented.

TOO GREAT EXPENSE
Not the Reason.

1t is not because Pyramid Pile Cure

the suffering incident to piles is it in
credible that anyone who has been af-
flicted Twenty-Five and thirty years

flames spread rapidly. The whole
block and also the Masonic or Cary
block owned by DR.. Cary was also de-
stroyed.

chased the Grimes block some time
since and occupied a portion of the
street floor for its quarters.
The contents of the bank were prac-
tically all saved and with the usual
promptness characteristic of the bank
officials and of Caribou people gener-
ally, the bank opened up for business
on time, Monday, in Irving & Rickers
