Nj KEE SETTLES
WITH HIS WIFE
Special Dispatch to Tn. Call.

PITTSBURG, Sept. Another chap
vorce case has been closed. A. Hart
Mckee of New York. named as one of
the correspondents by Lawrence
Phipps, in the latter's Denver suit for
divorce, has made a settlement with
his wife, Lydia Sutton Mckee.
DE-. Sutton, father of Mrs. Mckee,
had an attorney prepare an action for
divorce and another suit for 5000, 700,
after his son-in-law had been named in
the Phipps case. The latter suit was
to have been filed in New York. The
attorneys for Mrs. Mckee, however, ef-
fected settlement by accepting $780,
600 from Mckee.
Mrs Mckee is to retain the custody
OF the children, but Mckee is privileged
to see them at intervals. On the set
tlement with her husband she rented
a cottage at Southampton, L. l., where
she is residing.
Gossip says that Mrs. Mckee has be-
come a neignbor of the family which
has caused the estrangement between
herself and her husband. DR.. Sutton
was dissatisfied with the settlement.
He wanted his daughter to obtain $780,
OOO
The settlement of the difficulty be-
tween Hart Mckee and his wife. it is
said, indicates that Lawrence Phipps
and his wife have reached an agree
ment that the divorce suit brought by
Lawrence Phipps will be Withdrawn or
not contested.

Catarrh of any organ, if allowed to

This is very common sight and is al

Become Moro Anti-Russian as the

MUkDEN, Sept. IA correspond
ent has just arrived here after a jour-
ney covering a distance of 40 miles,
from Sintsintin, east of Mukden, and
says that during the latter part of his
journey he could hear the fighting at
Liaoyang. The correspondent says:
The whole country is aflame with
the widest and most contradictory ru-
mors. The principal interest in the
situation is in the fact that the CHI
nese population is becoming more
anti-Russian with the advance of the
Japanese army.
"Mukden itself is overcroWded and
it is almost impossible to get food or
n place to sleep. Everywhere there
is the greatest uproar and confusion
and many families are leaving in the
direction of Harbin. The soldiers,
however, are not at all disheartened
at the result of the fight and they say
that the japanese losses are. so tre-
mendous as to seriously weaken them.
They declare that they have made the
Japanese pay infinitely more for Lao
yang than it was WORTH"

HORSES BRAVE FLAMES.

With great presence of mind and
courage the drivers of the nose wagon
and engine saved the horses by driv-
ing them right through the doors of
the building after hastily hitching one
engine and hose wagon. The other, Il
new engine, recently purchased at
cost of $5000 was lost, also the hook
and-ladder chemical engine and the
greater part of the hose. An extra sup
ply Of hose was obtained from Kern
and assistance called for from Fresno.
Then the electric power was shut off
and the water supply gave out almost
entirely for lack of power for the en-
gines. With their single engine the
firemen did their best, but their efforts
were unavailing.
II a few minutes the entire row OF
brick buildings on Nineteenth street
were ablaZe, including the fine three
story Midland block. Leaping across
Twentieth street the flames seized two
brick buildings and from there at
tackled a row Of frame buildings, all
of which were totally destroyed. The
heat was terrific and the flames quickly
attacked the Windsor Hotel This
was frame building and from il
the fire attacked Riches Opera
house, a brick building, belonging to
the Bank Of Bakersfield, and not used
for several years. Both these were
destroyed. From there the fire seriously
menaced the large department store of
Hochheimer g. Co. and the Conklin
block on Chester avenue. The fire.
burned itself out by 4 o'clock and the
request for the Fresno engines was
countermanded.

CHINESE LOSSES HEAVY.

A large part Of the burning district
is in Chinatown. The .ntire block be-
tween Jap alley, Twentieth, X and L
streets except the engine house and the
property Immediately adjoining, which
had just been purchased by the city for
the new fire department. was owned by
Choo Ii, the richest Chinaman in the
city. His loss is about $15, 600. about
one-third insured. The loss to Chinese
merchants and restaurant keepers with
small stocks will reach $4,000. The loss
in the Midland block is about $50 900,
mostly insured. Charles Cohn loses
about 5000, with very little insurance.
Gee Fong, Chinaman who entered
one of the buildings to rescue property,
was overcome by smoke and suffocated
to death. Edward Baldwin, a musi-
clan, who was lying in the Midland
lodging house, jumped from the sec
ond story. He will probably die from
his injuries. Silver, who is believed to
have caused the entire confiagratfon.
was not missed until the engine house
was a roaring mass of flames.
The heaviest losers are w. II. Harri-
son of San Francisco, owner of the

We are, to-day, a community of
mourners. With bowed heads and
hushed voices we come before Him,
who knoweth the end from the begin
ming. That guest, in whose presence
all others sink into insignifcance,
crossed another threshold and the
light of that home has gone out.
Thursday, February Is, Mrs Emily
Weller Gillette entered that home not
not made with hands, eternal in the
heavens. Her earthly life of IS years
ended. Upon her vision dawned the
brightness of the Life unmeasured by
time, undimmed by sorrow. Her fu-
neral was largely attended Sunday,
February %, Rev ID. D. Gorton con-
Quoting beautiful service. Kindred
and friends gathered about the quiet
sleeper amid the flowers she loved so
we'll, the tribute of loving hearts. The
tribute OF grief was universal. Seldom
does death so deeply touch so extend
ed a circle beyond the immediate kin.
dred as has that of Mrs Gillette. In
her death we lose friend in the tru-
est sense Of the word. Many are the
homes in Bridgewater where with
ready hands and heart of sympathy,
she has ministered in times OF sorrow
and bereavement,-he presence a
comfort and blessing. Our dear friend
and neighbor has gone before. Her
memory comes to us, an inspiration,
rests upon us, benediction. Only
He, who doeth all things we'll, can
comfort those to whom she was near
est and dearest. Down through the
Ages, from the lips Of Him, who ''spake
as never man spake," comes to us the
message, "Come unto me and I will
give you rest" GAS one whom his
mother comforteth, so will comfort
