Fire at KinCaid.

Last Saturday morning, q telephone
message came to Garrett from KincaId
that the town was burning. No doubt
it looked so to the people of that little
place, but the report was somewhat ex-
aggerateu-vonly three buildings were
des royed Theodore Hutton's livery
stable, George Hare's blacksmith shop
and l.. f. Kempton's building in which
was DR.. Jackson's:: office. DR.. Jackson
saved nothing. His loss is very heavy.
and he had no insurance.
There were, we believe, thirteen horses
in the livery stable, and all perishe l.
One horse was fine stallion. owned by
a company of farmers. This horse cost
the COMPANY $4,000. and there was
$1,000 insurance on him. All the bug
gies, harness and feed in he stable were
DESTROYED. Mr.. Hutton, the proprietor
of the barn, carried 5000 insurance
Mr. Hare, the blacksmith, sustained
a loss of about $500
The livery stable and the blacksmith
shop stood close together near one end
of the street. and the Kcmuton build
ing was at the other end The latter
building was doubtless fired by flying
shingles from the other building
the origin oi the fire is unknown. hut
1t is thought by some that it was start
ed by inceuiiaries.

NEW NEIGHBORS.

There's new family moved in
Our neighborhood these sunny days.
The husband is a fellow thin.
But oh. he has such winning wavsl
He's musician. too, and sings
While puttcring about his work;
He blithely carries building things.
And never any duty shirks.
His wife is quite worker, too;
Has never time to change her gown.
Her colors are of palmer hue
Than his--she's fond OF sober brown
They're living in tiny fiat
It's only big enough for them,
And if the s.t,rr-k should visit that,
What would the landlord do!-ahem.
Thank goodness In their simple life
There is no landlord to object
When Mr.. Robin and his wife
Their annual progeny expect.
Philosopher in feathtrsd guise,
You sing good cheer through storm
and shine!
Dear robin, patient. loving wise;
Disciple | would be of thine.

ADVENTURE COST
HER NOBLE TITLE.
Daisy King, Pretty Actress Lost
Her Italian Baron When She
Paraded in Mans Attire.

Daisy King, pretty and accomplished
actress well known to theatergoers,
has become quite famous in theatrical
circles for her unsatiated taste TOR adven-
excitement she would have been a
baroness 1t is due to Miss Kings ap-
pearance at the opera house on Thurs.
day, April 9th. as one of the leading
lights in "a Trip to Egvps'' that the
story in question has just come to light
Three years ago Miss King wasktak'
ing course in operate singing at Milan
Italy. While there she met an Italian
nobleman, the Baron Roselli. a young
man of much wealth and high social
standing. At the conclusion of her
course, Miss King returned to America,
where, according to arrangements. the
Baron was TO follow last summer, al
which time it was arranged that
wedding was to take place.
The Bacon arrived in due time and
seemed to be more mauly in love than
ever with his tair betrothee. Prepare.
tions for the nuptial event were being
actively rushed and the beautiful Miss
King was being sho wered with congratu
Iations and good wishes by her compan-
ions in stage life, when there came a
sudden rift in the proceedings. 1t was
a suit of boys clothes this t blocked the
course of true love. When the noble
mau came face to face in broad daylight
and upon a public street, with his H.
ancee clad in the habiliments of man, it
was more than his blue blood could
stand, and all negotiations were off.
Miss King had good and sufficient rea'
Sons for desiring to masquerade in male
attire. II seems that one of her rela-
tives at the Brooklvn navy yard had
charge of the recent experiments with
the submarine boat, Shark. Miss King
had long cherished desire to take Il
cruise IN this Submarine boat, and had
pestcrcd her official relative to such an
esteut that at last lie reluctantly con
sented to take her on board. but upon
{ he condition that she was to disguise
herself as midshipman. 1t was after
her cruise under the sea aud while on
her way back to her apartments that
Miss King encountered her Italian lover
aud incidentally lost all chance to be |
come a baroness.
