Escape of Druggist.

The explosion of an alcohol stove in
the drug store of f. r. Richardson,
Eleventh street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. northwest, last night caused a fire
which Quilted the building occupied by
the drug store and Princes photograp h
gallery.
The exact damage done by the fire
could not be accurately ascertained from
either Mr.. Richardson or the represen-
tative Of Mr.. Prince this forenoon. though
it was claimed that the druggists loss
would foot up to several thousand dol
lars. and that the loss to the photo
grapher would be large.
The explosion. which could be heard
for several blocks, occurred about $50
o'clock and almost in seconds time
the entire back part Of the store
was filed with flames and smoke
The report made by the explosion at
trusted the attention of PatroImen En-
meret and Young. of the First precinct.
who Immediately turned in an alarm.
Before the fire engines arrived the
flames had eaten up through the stair
way in the back of the building into
the rooms occupied by the photograph
gallery. The back portion of the build
ing was soon enveloped in flames.
Druggist Narrowly Escapes.
Mr.. Richardson who, just a few mo-
ments before the explosion occurred,
was in the rear of the drug store mix
ing preparation of cold cream, had
little warning to escape. but managed
10 gain the door without injury
AT that time there were, fortunately
but two men besides the druggist in the
| store, and they being near the front
entrance rushed into the street at the
/ first report Of the explosion.
The first explosion was followed by a
| second and louder report, which, it is
claimed. was caused by The flames from
| he exploded stove coming in contact
| with a large can Of alcohol which stood
| but a few feet away from where the
| druggist, a few moments before, had
I been standing.
When asked about the explosion, Mt
| Richardson said:
| I had no Idea that such a thing could
| happen, and had it not been for the car
| of alcohol standing near such a serious
| accident would not have resulted.
/ AT the present time II is hard to make
an estimate of any loss. 1 believe it will
| amount to 81 600 which IS completely
covered by Insurance.

Denartmeut Without Power.

There has been disposition to blame
the administration OF the Department of
Agriculture for the disappearance Of
Holmes and Hyde. the statisticians now
so much wanted by the grand jury. and
so entirely disappeared from its juris-
6iction.
On this point 1t is urged at the depart
ment that Holmes and Hyde did not dis
appear so long as the matters concern
ing them were under Secretary Wilson s
Jurisdiction.
On the other hand, the Secretary
brought Hyde back from Europe, and
kept Holmes handy when he was want
ed for the purposes of the departmental
Inquiry. After that had been ended and
both men were discharged from the ser
vice. there was no power by which the
department could keep surveillance over
them.
They had passed beyond its jurisdic-
tion into that of the Department Of .Ius-
tice. which. if anybody. is considered to
blame for their disappearance at such a
critical time.

Hello Girls Rules.

A certain"hello girl has drafted

she may have been thinking of you
when she drafted the rules. Yol
will probably enjoy them. Here
they are.
1t you have telephone in your
Office or store, call up central then
go wait on customer. OF course
Central" can afford to wait as she
has nothing else to do.
Take your time about answering
your bell, or what is a great deal
better, do not answer at all, but
wait half hour, then ring up and
ask who called you, and get mad il
Central has forgotten who it
was.
Hang up the receiver big end UP
as in this wayis gets full of dust
and out of order, and this will fur.
nish you with an excuse for swear.
ing about the rotten telephone sys-
tenn.
When through talking drop the
receiver or throw it down. This
allows the batteries to run out and
breaks the strands on the receiver
ends. This gives you another
chance to kick,
Throw keys, combs, ETC., on top
of your telephone which will short
circuit your instrument, then 60 to
sleep and no one can call you.
Never ring off when you are done
talking. Let her guess at it.
Never speak kindly to Central, !"
as she is more accustomed to being
called names.
If the party you call does not an
swer, blame Central
Always ring long and hard as
Central may be asleep, then wait
half a second and ring again so you
can ring in her ear-she enjoys
that.
Never call by number as you
don't have time to look on the direc-
tory and Central has time to burn.

A Bargain Edition.

DR.. e. Y. Salmon, of Nashville,
who spent few days in this city
recently representing the Bureau
of National Literature and Art,
Washington, d. c., is commissioned
with disposing of a limited number
Of copies OF the Messages and
Papers of the Presidents" author
lied by recent act OF Congress.
The Doctor was compelled to return
home before completing his work
and wishes to announce that he ex-
poets to back again as soon as pos
sible for that purpose. After the
first and second editions of this
work had been exhausted there was
a demand for another and Congress
authorized limited number to be
placed among representative people
at nominal price. The FIRST lot is
to be distributed in Tennessee and
the remainder in the East. The
price named was only small frac-
tion of the original cost. t h e
writer, one of the publishers of The
Commercial, spent about five years
in the Government Printing Office,
and was engaged as one of the en-
ployes on the Typographical compo-
sition Of the work, and we know
from personal experience that the
cost of the publication must have
been several times greater than any
other fine work. In the first place
the typesetting was as near accu-
rate as typefounders and human
skill could make it. Everything
had to be as near a fac-simile as
possible and time vas no object in
attaining this. The proof readers
read, revised, re-read and revised
again over and over several times.
The paper and binding was of the
best material and mechanical skill.
Congressman Richardson h d
charge of the work and nothing
was spared to make it perfect. All
the employees engaged on the work
received from four to six dollars per
diem of eight hours. Mr.. Richard
son also received an appropriation
for the work, and hence we say that
the original volumes must have cost
many times the real mechanical
value of similar kind of work. It
is understood that this will be the
last edition from the first plates,
and those men whose names have
been recommended to DIR. Salmon
may consider themselves fortunate
in obtaining the volumes at the
prices specified
