HE WROTE SONGS
Dave Braham We'll Known Composer is Dead at
 New York.

New York, April 12.-David Bra ham, the well-known composer and or chestra leader, is dead at his home here from kidney trouble, after an ill., ness of several months. He was bofu slXty-seven years ago in England and came to America as violinist at the age of 16.
 Braham composed the music of some of the most popular songs ever known i'll America. In the late '7O's and the sos they were whistled and sung from the Battery to the Golden Gate
 Many of his songs, introduced by Harrigan and Hart sprang into popu- larity over night. They numbered more than POO and included "The Lit tie Widow Bunn," Maggie Murphy's S Home," Dads Dinner Pail," ".The Mulligan Guards" Paddy Duffy's Cart and the like Many of the airs were composed while Braham was walking the street, and several times his career came near being cut short while he was thus engaged.
 He was a descendant of the family of John Braham, one of the most noted of English vocalists, who held the pub lie for forty years and wrote scores of popular songs, many of which have survived nearly a century.

IN NEW YORK TOO.

New York. April 12-Fire which de- stroyed the big grain warehouse of the Horace Ingersoll company in West 34th street early to-day entailing loss of $5O,OOO. for more than two hours threatened hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property in the i'm mediate vicinity. Low water pressure hindered the tiremen greatly and but for the assistance of several fireboats the flames would have passed beyond control. The damp foggy atmosphere made the great volume of smoke which came from the burning building hung low an unusual spectacle and aroused thousands of residents of the west side. By the time the fire was under con- trol nothing was left of the Ingersoll warehouse but its walls, and the rear and front walls were threatening to collapse.

THE PRICE
 OF MILK.
Winter Rates Will
 Be Continued.
Costs More to Handle Milk Than it Used to-Not in Position to Handle Cheap Labor. ....

The milk dealers have got together and decided to keep the price of the article up during the summer instead of dropping cent per quart between the months of April and October, a crls- tom in vogue in Waterbury since milk vendors first commenced to 'peddle their wares in Waterbury. One of the deNers told a representative of this paper that 1t costs more to handle milk than it did few years ago and that there was not much in the business anyway. He said that milk dealers are not in position to take advantage | of cheap labor the same as others be- cause as rule man who does not speak the English language cannot be used as peddler except as an assistant and even in. that way they are not a big success. He knew the price of everything was going up and that it was hard for working people to make ends meet, but the milkmen were hav- ing their troubles, too and he saw no reason why they should have any scruples about getting fair retuv for the money invested in their business. This is the dealers side of the story, but the consumers say that the whole sale price of milk has not been ad- vanced and that the dealers can afford to sell now as cheap as any time if the greed to hang onto that cent had not taken hold of them. The consum- CTS are talking of retaliation by giv- ing the milkman the cold shoulder and using the condensed article instead, but it is doubtful if this will amount to anything, for while condensed milk is all right in its way most people pre- fer the kind that comes from the COW even though they do suspect that it has been thinned out little at the pump The consumers may kick as much as they please, but the milkman has them under his thumb and they fight as well knuckle down and take their medicine without murmur.

SALOON AND BOARDING
 HOUSE BURNED TO-DAY.
One Person Dead and Number Seriously Injured Big Grain House Burned in New York-Low Water Pressure Hindered Firemen-Gear Works Destroyd at Rome-han and Woman Had Narrow Escape.

Grand Rapids, Mich, April 12.-One person is dead, one fatally injured and five less seriously as the result of a fire early to-day in saloon and board ing house.

Norris could not force his way through the fire from his room to the hall, and jumped from q second story window. breaking his arm when he struck the pavement. Ignor- ing the injury he raised a ladder to the window and went to the rescue of Mrs Herrick and her children. He brought the woman, who was badly burned, and her two year old boy down the lad der, but meanwhile the fire spread so rapidly that Norris could not get into the room again to rescue S-year-old May. Her burned body was found by the tiremen. who had the fire under control soon after their arrival. While Norris was rescuing Mrs Herrick and her child Ada Norris, Jack Ward and Charles Anderson jumped to the ground from the second floor and all of them sustained injuries which, how ever, are not expected to prove seri- OllS

SCARCITY OF GINSENG.

Minnesota Hunter of This Root Tella
 of Hts Shortage.
 A ginseng hunter of twenty-four years experience writes to the St. Paul (Minn.) Dispatch from Gray Eagle Minn., giving some facts about the wild growth of the plant and its culti. vation. His story follows:
 Ginseng in Minnesota is very scarce in the wild state. Twenty-four sum. mers ago could go almost any place in the forest where 1t grows and dig a bushel basketful of green roots in one day, while now 1t is so scarce cannot make average wages at $7.S0 a.pound the present price. If could now gel bushel of roots in all fall I would think was doing very we'll.
 'The price for dry ginseng has been going up every year, and there was al. ways a good market for 1t and will be for many years to come. It is being cultivated to small extent in Minne- cnto S

NO NEWS IN LONDON.

Lopdon. April 12.-No confirmation has yet been received in London of the report from Batavia, Java, of a naval battle off the Anambas Islands, and as there is no cable connection with those islands it is difficult to see how Batavia could have got such news before Singapore.

 Lloyds agent says it was composed of seven battleshps. two armOred cruisers, five unarmored cruisers, three converted cruisers, seven torpedo boat destroyers, seventeen steamers and hospital ships and tug.

ADMIRALTY DOUBTS TT.

St Petersburg, April 12 4:3S p. m.)- The admiralty has no information in regard to the alleged naval battle in progress off the Anambas Islands, as reported to a newspaper of Amster- dam; Holland, from Batavia. and does not credit the possibility of general naval battle yet. The officials con cede, however, that the Japanese may have attempted torpedo boat attack on a convoy during the night. It is pointed out that there is no cable con meeting the Anambas Islands and Ba- tavia and that the first news of fight should come from Singapore, unless the Dutch warships are able to com municate with Batavia by wireless telegraphy.

ALL ACCOUNTED FOR.

London, April 12 (3:35 p. m.)-The Associated Press is able to confirm absolutely the statement that the Rus sian battleships passed Singapore going eastward April 8, so that afl of Vice-Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron are accounted for. This definite news about the battleships was sent to Singapore by wireless telegraph from the China sea. It is presumed here that the battleships passed further out to sea than the rest of the squadron, hence the divergent reports. regarding the number of ships.
