A number of the friends Of Harold B.
Hibben gave a dinner at the Columbia Club
last night in his honor. Samuel d. Miller
was POSTMASTER. The decorations Were
pretty and dainty. In the center of the
table was an immense pyramid Of fruit,
and American Beauty roses were scattered
here and there in profusion. All of the
men were in evening dress. The menu
cards were especially attractive and the
menu itself had been selected with especial
care.
A feature of the dinner was the pre-

YELLOW PINE FURNITURE.
Big Prices Charged for the Article by
a New York Dealer.

Montgomery Advertiser.
We have recently noticed in several ex-
changes mention of an advertisement by
furniture dealer in New York of bedroom
washstand, 50; reduced from $120." Sur
prise is expressed at the high price, and 1t
is evident that 1t is not owing to the cost
of material, for Georgia pine, like all other
yellow pine In the South, does not yet COM
mand such price as to justify the figures
above quoted. Evidently the value was
owing to the extra style and finish of the
work.
contemporaries jump to the conclusion that
all the furniture makers should at once
devote themselves to yellow pine, and that
ii will at once take the place of the hard
woods. which are fast becoming scarce and
expensive. Mahogany, rosewood and other
fine foreign woods are too high-priced for
people OF limited or moderate means, and
even our native hard woods are disappear
ing, and furniture made from them is bring
ing high prices, when well made.
We admit all this, and admit that our
Southern pine has a beautiful grain, and
that il can be easily worked into any shape
or STYLE desired. Much Of II bears a fine
polish. but Its one great defect is the tur-
pentine in it. When polished and vanished
like other woods, II looks well for brief
time. but after little the .turpentine
forces its way to the surface and destroys
the finish. That is the great obstacle In
the way of fine work. This New York
manufacturer may have some method by
which he can so kill the turpentine that it
will not exude and destroy the finish and
appearance of the work, but if he has his
plan Is not generally known. We have seen
great deal of yellow pine work which
was handsome when new, but IN short
time its beauty was destroyed by the
action OF the turpentine. If that difficulty
can be overcome or avoided, IL will be easy
to make handsome furniture out of pine,
and at prices far below those of the New
York dealer.

DISREGARDS A PARDON.
Michigan Judge Incidentally Critf-
cfses Governor Bliss.


FRANKFORT, Mich, Nov. H-Judge
Chittenden's charge to the jury in the
Thomas perjury case yesterday in the
Circuit Court caused a sensation because
of the courts caustic criticism of Governor
Bliss. The Governor recently pardoned Dep
uty Game Warden Spafford, of Cadillac,
who was convicted of manslaughter at
Frankfort. The case arose from the shoot
ing of a fisherman who. it was claimed, had
resisted arrest when Spafford caught him
in an alleged violation of the state fish and
game laws. Spafford's pardon was prac-
tically simultaneous with his conviction,
and his friends followed up their advan-
tage by charging that Thomas had per-
in the Spaford case, and Governor Bliss, In
extending clemency, alleged that 1t was
packed jury that had convicted Spaford.
To-day in the Thomas case Judge Chitten-
den ordered the jury to bring in a verdict
OF not guilty.
This whole proceedings, so far as the
pardoning of Spafford is concerned and the
Thomas, is a burlesque on decency, justice
and fair play" said Chittenden. II con-
slider this case an action of persecution
rather than prosecution, placing the ad-
minstration of justice at a disadvantage
in this country and rendering powerless the
function of the court by the blind inter-
ference of the States chief executive"
pardon of the Governor because the pardon
was not legally drawn and executed and
has ordered Spafford to appear in his court
to-day for sentence.

Disaster Near Lilly, Pa, That Caused
the Loss of Twenty-Eight Lives
and Injury to Thirty-Two.
TERRIBLE STRUGGLE FOR LIFE
WEAKER ONES TRAMPLED ON IN A
SCRAMBLE TO GAIN EXITS.
Some Returned After Escaping, Hop
ing to Save Their VaIuables, and
Perished i'm the Building.

JOHNSTOWN. Pa, Nov. N-While more
than 100 Italian railroad laborers were
asleep in shanty near Lilly. Pa, on the
Pennsylvania, early to-day, the building
caught fire and before the foreigners could
escape twenty-eight were burned to death
and thirty-two seriously injured.
The men were employed by McMenimin
& Sims On the Pennsylvania Railroad i'm
proyements between Lilly and Portage.
There were 500 on the job, all Italians and
in the shanty which was burned were 125
of these The shanty was about 100 feet
long, one story in height. One end was
used for cooking and eating. at the other
end the men slept in hunks, which We're
crowded. There was only one door at each
end and the windows were few and small.
The fire is supposed to have started from
an overheated stove.
The building burned like finder and the
flames were upon the men before any or
them were aroused Then began Il struggle
for the outside and for life. They fought
and scrambled for the doors, the weaker be-
ing crushed down and trampled on. Others
were roasted to death. Those who strove
for the door were in the widest sort of
panic. They fought and kicked, and
among those who escaped there are many
who bear marks of the fierce struggle which
took place. A few got out of the small
WINDOWS, minus clothing, and with their
bodies cut from broken glass. Many of
those who did manage TO get out had their
savings of years in their trunks, which they
left behind in the building. Remembering
this as soon as they got outside they fought
just as fercely to get back. A few sue
ceeded but for the sake of their money
gave up their lives. An eyewitness says he
does not believe that single man OF those
who returned succeeded in getting out
again.
In the ruins to-day some of the corpses
were close beside the hoped bands of their
trunks, and melted gold and silver, which
had been kept in those receptacles, indi-
Gated that they had fallen and died with
their treasure in their arms. The bodies
were all practically burned to pieces. An
Italian who knew every man in the shanty
| was unable to identify a single one.

TO DRAW DECREE
COUNSEL IN THE PHILO 8. BENNETT
WILL CASE UNABLE TO AGREE
w. J. Bryan's Attorney Insists that
the Document BE Worded without
Prejudice to His Client.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,. Nov. N.-The in
ability of opposing counsel in the case of
the will of the late Philo s. Bennett to
agree on the form of the formal decree to
be entered in the Probate Court proceedings
was made manifest to-day. when Judge
Henry Stoddard, as counsel for Mrs. Ben
nett, the widow. and other heirs, filed with
Judge Livingston w. Cleveland, of the
court, his draft of the form of the decree
With 1t Judge Stoddard submitted a note
to the court saying that Attorney Hewitt.
of counsel for William j. Bryan, the ex-
ecutor of the will. had been unable to
agree with him as to the wording of the
decree.
Later in the day Mr.. Bryan's attorney
submitted to the court the form of decree
which they desired entered. After a state
ment. 1.-THE will is approved, allowed, and
ordered to be recorded" this document de-
clares that the court finds that the envelope
and the letter which was within IL are the
sealed letter referred to In Section IL of the
will, and that no undue influence was used
but that the court further finds that the
envelope and letter are not proved to have
been in existence at the time of the execu-
ton of the will; that the typewriter docu-
ment which Mr.. Bryan offered was I'm ex-
istence at the time of the execution of the
will; that the letter contained in the en-
yelope was copied therefrom, but that the
typewriter document is not the sealed let
ter referred to in Section II of the will; that
the court therefore orders that neither the
letter nor the typewriter document be adj
mitted to probate without prejudice how
ever, to any claim which may be hereafter
made that they may be operative and the
declaration of the trust mentioned in
Section II of the will, or otherwise In order
that said envelope. letter and typewriter
document be preserved for future reference.
IL is further ordered that they be placed on
file i'm the Office of the court
Judge Cleveland said that in view OF the
conflicting forms of the decree offered he
would draw the decree himself, giving all
parties an opportunity for hearing on il.
If SO desired, some time next week.

Texas Prairies AbIaxe.

HOUSTON, Tex, Nov. H.-The whole OF
southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana
is enveloped in dense smoke, the result
of forest and prairie fires. Between Hous-
ton and Beaumont the prairie is blazing for
miles and the forest is ablaze iii places; to
the east of Beaumont the pine forests are
afire in Calcasiu parish; 10 the north of
Houston in Montgomery county, there are
many acres of timber blazing and in the
country between Houston and Galveston
the prairies are burning. So far re-
ported there have been no fatalities, but
there is grave danger If there is not a
heavy rain in short time. The fires were
started in an effort TO get rid of the tick
grass before the high northers came.
