Last week it was remarked that Syl-
vester Cole was to be congratulated on
being so fortunate as to save his house
from fire; and this week Harry Cole is
entitled to the same, only more SO,
since he came nearer meeting with a
greater loss. Last Monday morning
Mrs. Cole discovered an unusual smoke
in the dooryard, and running out found
lively blaze around the chimney, and
making rapid Roadway, since the roof
was as dry as finder.
At first it was thought impossible to
save anything more than a part of the
furniture, as there was only small
amount of help near by; but right there
was where the special value of the tele-
phone came in; by that means they
notified John Titus at Bryant's Pond,
who in turn informed the mill hands,
and in very short time there were two
horse loads of men on the spot working
like so many beavers.
1t so happened that Mr.. Coles aque-
duct failed up the very day previous, so
that there was no water available, but
snow made good substitute; and while
some passed it up to the men, others
were cutting and saving off the boards
below the fire; and in that way they
finally extinguished it; but not until it
had gone the whole length of the roof,
and perhaps One-third of the way to the
caves.
1t was loud call from the fire-fiend,
and had it not been for the TELEPHONE
above mentioned, not only the house
but also the two ellis, one connected at
each end, must have all gone together.
How the fire originated is a mystery;
the chimney burned out only two weeks
previous and no unsound place can be
found in it.
During the conflict with the fire Dea.
r. l.. Cole was conveyed to Newton
Bryant's and subsequently to the home
of his son, Frank p. Cole, of Woodstock.

that kind of work.
John Tibbetts, former resident of

CHINESE BOYCOTT LIFTED.
Superstition Accomplished What
Americans Failed in Securing.

SAN FRANCISCO. November g. - Fear
ing that the wrath of the God of Water"
would be visited on them, the Chinese of
Shanghai and It's vicinity have, 1t Is said,
given up the boycotting Of American goods
This change of sentiment was caused by the
destruction by water Of a large quantity Of
goods which We're stored in the Easements
of the business houses in Chinese ports.
They had been placed there by the Chinese
merchants when the boycott was first insti-
tuted. This occurred during the inunda-
ton of that portion of the Chinese coast
druing typhoon and tidal wave Of a month
ago.
The news of the lifting of the boycott and
the unusual means which brought 1t about
came here on the steamer Doric yesterday.
Among the passengers was C. EIDE, who has
been in business In China for twenty-five
years. He stated that the Americans had
battled hard against the boycott but 1t
was due entirely to the superstitions of the
Chinese shat the anti-American scheme has
been eliminated.
