FATALLY
BURNED
Explosion of Kerosene Lamp
Caused the Death Of Mother
Child and Nurse

A sad accident occurred at the little
town of Glendale, which is the death
of the 2-year-old son, mother and nurse
of Oliver P. Lane, the salesman in Hon.
II. G. Sonnemanns 8 store in that place
The child perished in the fire, which
completely destroyed the Lane dwelling
at an early hour yesterday. The fire
was due to the explosion of lamp, on
the lower floor of the house, where the
urse, Miss Cooper, of Medford, was
sleeping. Mrs. Lane and the little boy
were sleeping in the adjoining room,
both sick with penumonia. When the
explosion occurred it aroused Miss
Cooper, who instantly tried to smother
the flames, but it had gained such con-
troll it was beyond her power. Mrs.
Lane tried to carry the little boy out,
but, in her weakened condition, the task
proved too much for her. The two wo-
men tried to escape through the front
door, but the smoke and flames were so
thick they could not reach it. Mr.. Lane,
aroused by the FIRE, hurried down, a
window was broken, through which
they escape, although both ladies were
very badly burned. BY the time they
had gained the outside, the house was
in solid mass of flames, and the little
child could not be rescued.
The remains of the little one have
been recovered. Both the ladies we're
seriously burned, and died later in the
day from the effects of their burns.
The affair has daused much grief in
Glendale, where they were we'll known.
Mr.. Lane is nearly prostrated in this
great hour of trouble, and has the sym
pathy of the entire community.

OF STRIKING TEAMsrERe
At CHICAGO.

Chicago, June ia pronounced
break in the ranks Of the strikers &C.
Cured during the day. For the first
time since the strike began many
weeks ago there were numerous in
stances where striking Transfers ap-
piled individually for former positions
without waiting for the strike to be
formally declared of. This was esDe-
cially true at the lumber yards. George
K. Wenig of the Wenig Teaming com
pany said:
Many Of my old teamsters have
asked for their positions. Not one Of
them said anything about deliveries to
the boycotted firms. have done moth
ing yet in the matter and shall not do
anything until I consult with other
employers"
Additional evidence of conspiracy,
1t is said, has been obtained by the
grand jury, which is devoting it's at
tention to the graft" charges and to
finding out who was responsible for
the killing of nonunion drivers during
the strike riots.

Berlin, June 19.-Premier Rouvier
has informed Prince Radolin, the Ger

is inclined to accept the invitation to
take part in the proposed conference
on Morocco provided the German and
French governments can reach a mu-
tually satisfactory agreement as to
the precise points to be considered by
the conferees. The conviction exists
at the foreign Office that France and
Germany will be able to agree on this
programme. Although earnest differ
ences of view are yet to be reconciled
the authoritative judgment of the for.
eign office is that they will all be over
come by negotiation. M. Rouvier has
thus yielded to Prince Won Buelow on
two essential points on which NJ. Del
casse, the former foreign minister, had
refused the invitation to take part in
Morocco conference. M. Rouv1er first
consented to reopen the question and
then agreed to take part in the confer

High Admiral of Russian Navy Steps
Down.

Down.
st. Petersburg, June 16.-The sen.
sational announcement was made
shortly before midnight that Grand
Duke Alexis, the high admiral, who is
an uncle Of the emperor, and Admiral
Avellan, head of the Russian admiralty
department, had resigned. This an
nouncement was followed a few min
utes later by an imperial rescript re-
lieving the grand duke of the supreme
direction of the navy which he had
held since the days of the emperors
father, Alexander ILL.,, when Russia re-
solved to enter the lists as a first
class seapower and to build up q great
navy, the remnants of which were de-
stroyed in the battle of the Sea of
Japan.
Grand Duke Alexis has been saw
agely criticised for his administration
of his admiralty office and ugly stories
are now current regarding his retire
ment. 1t is probable, however, it is
on account of public animosity toward
him, though the reason may not be
known for some time.

Washington. June 19.-While the
progress of the preliminary nssotia'
tons for peace between the Far East

this stage Of the proceedings it is
known that President Roosevelt hopes
they practically may be concluded be-
fore he shall go to Oyster Bay for the

pected that if nothing unforeseen shall

definite announcement of the status of
the negotiations may be made soon
after his return. There is POSSIBLE
ity even that the selection of tho pleni-
potentiaries of both Russia and Japan
may be announced before the presi-

Would Avert General Engagement.
It is the hope here that the arrange
ments for the conference may pro-
coed with such facility as to avert
general engagement in Manchuria be-
| tween the forces of Generals Linevitch
! and Oyama. The precipitation of a
great battle at the present stage Of the
peace negotiations would be regarded
here as most unfortunate error of
| judgment-an error which might i'm
| peril seriously the negotiations for the
! conference. Indeed, it is believed
in some quarters that whatever might
| be the result Of such conflict it would
arouse SO much bitterness that the
! negotiations, the status of which is
now 50 favorable, would collapse.
1t can be said that President ROOse-
velu is giving no heed to irritating per-
! sonal references to him which have
! appeared in part of the Russian
| press. His conduct of the peace nego-
| tiations thus far has been as nearly
| diTe'tly as possible with the emperors

Iane=nents concluded represent their

Strike OF.
Chicago, June 19.-There are indi.
cations that the Transfers strike will
come to an end before the close OF
this week. The announcement is made
from q source high in the counsels OF
the union that the strikers will be
allowed to decide for themselves
whether the strike shall be called of
without conditions or allowed to con
tinue.
One of the strongest arguments in
favor of the referendum, it is argued
is the fact that the peace terms of the
employers contain demands diamet
really opposed to the principles Of
the transfers organization and the
drivers would rather call off the strike
than agree to them.

rHE Evolution OF THE LIBRARY

THE PRESENT system of libraries has been
developed through four stages, if tn are classified
according to the kinds Of material used for the record
There has been gradual change from the
carved hieroghyhics of the Egyptians and Aztecs to
the clay tablets Of Babylan and Nneveh these being
superseded by the papyrus and parchment rolls Of
sacred and ancient classic literature The fourth
type is the modern bound volume printed on paper.
As the groves were Gods first temples 50 the
first libraries were without mau-made protection.
Stones in their natural element were first used for
recording and transmitting the history Of the race
The rocky face Of a cliff was used BY the ancient
inhabitants Of Mexico as page on which to make
the symbols representing the thoughts they wished
to communicate
Sometimes the object was painted on the rock
with vegetable dyes The early Egyptians piled up
blocks Of stone and carvd their writing upon them
From the chadeans they learned to write upon clay
tablets, which was an easier method than cutting
the characters in stone These"tables" were usually
about twelve inches long and one inch thick While
in plastic state the impressions were made after
which they were baked in such way that they are
practically indestructble Our story of "Cinderla
and the Glass Slipper comes to us in this form
More than four thousand years ago there were great
great public Libraries where these tablets were stored
One city in chadea especially renouned for its
library, wcs called THE City Of Books"
When the need for less cumbersome material
was realized, papyru> made, from plant which
grew in the valley Of the Nile 1t used to some
extent for two thousand years until the 9TH cen
tury a. D. but throughout this period parchment
was also standard writing material. AS they are
somewhat similar in form, they may be classed to-
gether.
Parchment is made from the skins of sheep or
goats, and is much more durable than papyrus and
more suitable for valuable records. Both we're made
in strips Of any desired length and fastened rollers
somewhat on the order of our wall maps
