TOO MUCH PERFUME2Y
COMES IN A BUNCH
Mixed With Flames 1t overcomes Six
Firemen in New York

NEW YORK. June 3.-six fremen
were overcome today by the fumes of
perfumery while fighting a fire in
building in Duane street, in which La
zell, Daley & Co., manufacturers of
perfumes, occupied the fifth floor. Sew
eral carboys of perfumery were broken
open during the fire. The liquid ran
over the floor into the flames, produc-
ing fumes so overpowering that the
1iremen were repeatedly driven away
by them. Six of the firemen were car
ried out unconscious, but were revived.
The loss is $4,000.

Though the pope never travels, he
owns a sleeping car which was con,
structed in 1888, when the line from
Rome to Naples was opened. It win
be exhibited at the Milan exhibition in
1905 to inaugurate the Simplon tim
mel.
There are three compartments a
throne room, q room for the guard Of
honor, and a bedroom. The throne
room is richly furnished, and has o
cupola engraved with the papal arms
and the twelve apostles.
The carriage Is so arranged that the
pope, when seated on his throne, is
plainly visible and can give his bene
diction to the crowds at the stations.
The sleeping car is divided into
three parts--bed, bath and dressing
rooms which are hung with yellow
and white, the papai colors. The bed
is of ebony and ivory.--London Elk

Man I.ore tie Neat woman.

There is an attraction in neatness
and order all their own. Their lack is
felt even when there is great beauty
TO dazzle the eye. know that there
are men who tolerate slack, untidy
women. but have always regarded
them as martyrs to duty, mistaken In
the size OF the obligation laid upon
them. have never blamed the man
who Stunned untidiness at home, be
he father, husband. son or brother,
and that, my friends, Is the real whip
that drives some men from their own
firesides. The really neat woman is
neat at all times, and the slack one
Is very unwise when she INDUCES her
propensities at home. Cleanliness
may be next to godliness, and certain.
ly neatness is next to beaeuty.

THE UNION COUNTY REPUBLICAN, SCRAP.
The Elk Point Lender last week re-
printed an article from the Sioux Falls
500 Critic, purporting to have been writ
ten by IAN Alcester Republican," In
which 1t was represented that Union
county republican circles were all torn
up over the breaking in of the Crawford
candidacy for governor upon the alleg-
sd candidacy OF A %. Ringsrud for gov
ernor and that of e. G, Ericsson for dis
trict Judge to succeed Judge Jones. II
was most preposterous and anus
ing invention, in reply to which
only three things need be said:
LIST, A. o. Ringsrud is not candidate
for governor.
End, e. G. Ericsson is not a candidate
for district Judge.
Srd, The candidacy OF Coe /. Crawford
for governor has the same relation &c
the alleged candidacy of Mr.. Ringsrud
and Mr.. Ericsson, that the Japanese
Russian imbroglio has to the boil wee
vii In Texas cotton.
From the above anyone can form nj
own judgment as to the extent AMI
strength OF the republican scrap" II

rhr .sarass widow, ].

"The origin of the term grass
widow said a philologist, " is puz-
zling. Some say 1t came from the
French that it was originally grace
widow that il, widow by grace or
courtesy. Others say It derives from
the old English custom Of mans
hanging out a broom when his wife
was away over night. To hang out
the broom was a common phrase.
When the thing was done the meaning
was that the house had been swept
clear of wife's presence In time, how
ever. instead Of hanging out the
broom. the husband came to hang out
only a bunch OF grass Thus he grew
to be called i grass widower. and bis
wife a grass widow - Philadelphia
