New York. Sept l3-The lives of
seven people we're snufed out in a
fire Which destroyed the five story
tenement at list street early this morn
ing. Several others were badly
burned or injured. The dead are ::
Anton Connewiz, his wife, and twin
bows, three weeks old, and three men
whose names are unknown. The fire
was evidently of incendiary origin as
it broke out simultaneously in f st,
fourth. and fifth floor, and an at
tempt to set fire to the house was
frustrated three weeks ago. The FIRE
this morning spread quickly and many
inmates were carried down the fire
escapes while others were rescued by
police who formed a human chain and
lifted number from the burning
building. Those killed were found on
the top floor.

Wife ola Harlem Restaurant keeper
Gets Big Fortune by the Death
of a Brother.

New York, Sept. Mrs. Jennie
Wolk, wife of Harlem restaurant
keeper, is rejoicing over the prospect
of obtaining fortune through the
death Of brother known as a
Diamond King" in Sonth Africa.
Mrs. Wolk received the news in a
letter from Durham, Natal, and her
lawyer, Benjamin Baker, expects soon
to 90 over to look after the estate.
According to Lawyer Baker the
amount of the fortune is close upon
$50, 600, 900.
It was left by Mrs Wolk's brother,
Joseph Asch, who thirty years ago
lived in this city. He had a dis
agreement with his family and run
away. None of the family gave him
any encouragement when he went
away except his younger sister, now
Mrs. Wolk, with whom he was fav-
orite. She is the. only one in the family
to whom he ever wrote, although he
has three brothers and another sister
still living.
Mrs. Wolk received occasional let
ters from him after he had settled at
Kimberley, South Africa, and knew
that he was doing we'll, but had no
idea of the extent ce his wealth. She
last heard from him about three years
ago, and had not heard another word
until last week, when letter came
from a friend of the runaway boy,
saying that be was dead, and that in
his last breath he had designated his
sister as his heir.
Mrs. Wolk is satisfied that the let
ter and the statement about the for
tune are genuine. BY cable inquiries
Lawyer Baker bas since learned that
Joseph Asch, the dead man, was un-
ouestionably Mrs. Wolk's brother.
His information, he says, is to the
effect that .Asch became interested in
diamond properties in Kimberley
more than twenty years ago when he
first went to South Africa. aud that
his holdings and income steadily in
creased. Waterbury American.

Dear Sir: Here's something every

Mr. j Hall, Sheffield, Pa, painted
two houses, ) years ago, lead-and- oil !;
took 40 gallons. Last year, he painted
Devoe: bought 40 gallons; had 10 left
He is one of thousands. The know
ledge is getting about pretty generally,
that Devoe goes further than any
thing else.
Have you found it out in your own
experience?
How much further?
Suppose a job amounts to 10, 600
square feet; how much less Devoe
could you buy?
Is it as easy to paint? Does it cost
any more or less to put-on by the gal
lon than anything else? how much?
If it costs no more to put-on Devoe
by the gallon, it costs less by the foot,
you know; for the gallon does more
feet. How much less, do you find it.
for wages?
Lasts, say, twice as long; that is
the owners, gain: but perhaps YOU
reckon it yours; some do. The time
when that comes-in, is when be gives
out the next job.
Who gets it,

County Superintendent of Education
Walker did coed business in books
last Monday. He didn't make single
penny out of it, however. There is
something radically wrong about our
school book law. There is no sense in
requiring the superintendent of edu-
cation to handle the books, and there
is less sense in giving one manufactur-
er a monopoly in the sale of them.
The legislature might very properly
put a price on the gcods-provided
the price was right-but,any dealer in
books or stationery should be allow
ed to handle them and they should also
have profit for handling them.
Such legislation is blow at the mer-
chants, and benefs only the IDanufac-
turer. It looks like piece of lobby
work in which there was graft.
