The Folly Furnishes All
Necessary Excitement For a
Cold January Morning.
.FIREMEN HAVE A TOUGH JOB


A flre which did $1,000 damage was
discovered in a building occupied by
Italians and owned by Benjamin j..
Crane, on Speedwelf avenue, known
"A the ssFolly, y early last Tuesday
morning. Patrick Kelley first noticed
the building on fire in the BARBER
shop conducted by James Catana, on
his way home from a dance. He
hurried to the police station where
he informed Policemen Naughton and
Hendershot. who were on duty. Max
! in~4 eure it was of sufficient cOnse-
apence to call out the entire depart
nent. Hendershot rang in an alarm.
II was then twenty minutes past
3 SO'clock.
When the fire apparatus aud the
firemen arrived they found the flames
had spread throughout the building
and was fast threatening adjoining
uYoperty. The firemen of Chemical
Engine Company went bravely into
what seemed like a roaring furnace,
and worked to save the belongings OF
the occupants of the place, but their
untiring efforts were futile. They
were driven back by great clouds OF
black smoke which rolled out with
eyery draft, as were the members OF
Reeolute Truck who endeavored to
rescue the sole possessions OF the poor
Italians, but were nearly suffocated
In the attempt
Nor was it only smoke and fire that
the faithful hremen had to contend
with. The extreme cold caused
many to suffer and the hands at the
nozzle became numbed and stiffened
In the laying of the hose. Ladders
when h0iSted were wet from the
spray of the water and the Tungs soon
got lev making it dangerous for any
tirenaan to climb. AS daylight dawned
firemen could be seen walking
around the smoking ruins with rubber
coats frozen to their clothes and iclcles
hanging from their fire helmets.
1t Is not known how the fire started,
bnt presumably fr9m an Oyerheated
stove. So rapidly did it burn that
many Itaaians living over the stores
were Obliged to fee to the street in
their mightclothes.

the fire. Summoning his assistants
he made Enquiry and search to as

the building 1t was plain the build

men were directed to prevent the fire
from spreading. 1t was impossible
to fight it in the rear as the structure
is baiIt over gorge.
The loss to the italian storekeepers
be heavy for only few, it is said, has

by j. Buffano, tailor. William Farario,
barber, James Catana, shoe store, and
Jasper Mangarica, confectionery.
Fires at the Folly" have been
numerous during the last half
century. The last one occurred about
four years ago, when arrow OF stores
were buGned to the ground.

The "FOlly' fire is the first good
blaze since last May. Several tiremen
heard the alarm, it is said, last Tues
day morning, but were persuaded that
it was warmer in bed that at the
fire.

partment for its good work in prevent
ing a greater loss to his property

BEARD CAUSE OF
University Graduate Held Down by
Youthful Appearance - Hirsute
Appendage Has Telling Effect.

A recent graduate of n of the great
universities secured a place with O
well-known firm at a modest salary
says the New York Sun. He fulfilled all
his duties satisfactorily, but there
seemed to be something lacking. Bust
ness callers did not seem to take him
seriously, and one would occasionally
inquire:
Say, bub, where's the boss?"
The graduate finally decided to raise
a beard. At the end of a week his m
ployer, came to him and said:
sits a rather delicate subject, but
I'm glad that you have realized that
1t is your youthful appearance that
has been keeping you back You will
take charge Of the shipping department
tomorrow" "And some people say
that appearances count for nothing"
remarked the graduate. "It took me
four years to get a college education,
and In four weeks I'll have a beard.
| made ten dollars a week on the
strength Of the education. and got pro-
noted the first week on the strength of
the beard"
