of the brave fire ladies who rio,,os
life and limb, the city or the sroo,a'
part of it, would, today, be in ASH"
The fire started in the interior
the Lothrop & Davis warehouse
Mineral street and was the result ],
an accident on the part of one az II,
employees of the firm who had hoo,
sent to get some goods which wa.
stored in the warehouse and wbioh
were to be forwarded to Rhvol,,a
According to his story the room won
dark and he could not locate m
articles. He lit a candle and as -
was carrying it about, the flame cama
in contact with some burlap which
was hanging from a rafter ana
before he had time to think, te lot,
of the building was in flames. He ran
for help and the alarm was given
The department was on the scene ana
fighting the flames in a short wbile
and 1t is due to Its haste that a con.
f~iagration was avertel. The flremep
worked with might and main for an
hour and finally had the fire under
control.
The building is of corrugated iron
and that fact helped materially tn
confine the flames to the interior Of
the building. A few feet north of the
warehouse is a frame building used
by the Nevada-Utah Automobile
transportation Company and on the
south side are the warehouses Of
Jerry Ahern and Il. Marks & Co. Had
the flames communicated to them.
the Merchants Hotel, across the
street would also have suffered aud
the rusult can easily be imagined
The warehouses hold many thousands
of dollars worth of goods that would
have been eagerly deyoured by the
fire.
In recognition of the valiant ser
vices of the fire laddies in saving its
building from destruction, the Ne.
vada-Utah Transportation Company.
through Manager Charles s. Wilkes
has presented the department with a
check for $25.
#. Y. Williams, manager OF the
Lothrop-Davis Company states thai
their loss Is somewhere between
$4,000 and $4,000, with no insur
ance. The goods destroyed by frl
and water consisted principally o
harness, mattresses, bedding material
tents and other infammable stun
which accounts for the rapid manner
in which the material ignited.

Although the stylejs common, many of the individual hats are not at all com mon, still spell style. A peacock green cloth of softest, most beautiful appear ance, had one feature particularly mo- ticeable; the sleeves slashed to the shoulder to- disclose cream net under sleeves, and the vest made with V at the neck to give another hint of the net waist.
 Brown, which we seemed to think quite out of fashion, promises presently to be in the height of fashion. A warm shade in velvet is most effective when employed with rich dark furs, and re- gently we were attracted by handsome seal coat made with rolling fronts and a straight, loose front of brown velvet, embroidered delicately in gold. Brown crepe de chine is exquisite. This well appreciated material now comes in all shades. Crepe de chine loses none of it's .vogus; We should say 1t is more in favor than ever The lovely dahlia shades are particularly lovely in crepe; and also the lighter shades of red at present so much approved. the old rose and pinks.

Fancies in Feminine Dress

Icy winds may blow, snow lie deep on the ground, yet Milady appears on the street as well as in the house with sleeves cut of at the elbow. The three quarter sleeve is long one these days; banished the one-time wrist length, save for shirt-waist and such strictly utili- tarian garment. Of course this means expensive long gloves. What is saved in sleeves is more than lost in hand shuhe.'
 The fashionable long glove for even ing wear is the white suede. and it is often seen with the dressier afternoon costumes. It makes one long for the excellent and cheap London glove; here in America we have to pay SO much for this trifie of the toilette To those in- terested in economy we would add that the long black suede glove Is in excel lent style. and that long glove may mean the 8, 12 or 24 button. A black glove makes the hand look small, and the suede outlines the arm prettily.
 We note the number of attractive hats that are trimmed with illusion. This morning we saw a very good one with a lace crown. the crown low cone, the brim edged with white velvet; a run of white illusion almost concealed the brim and mounted well upon the crown; a clusted of three camelias nestled in the illusion on one side, well toward the e-ovs a,1 s.rlar thn furna rtr. t,.,ay ,.-.. a quantity Of ribbon the same soft shade as the camelias. pinky white.

The panne fitted smoothly. this giving a satin sheen much better than folds or puns would have been The shape was not unlike a lougish sailor of years agone. the only trimming a ruche of white illusion. And concerning the color of hat one should wear. taste Is divided between the hat that matches the costume enact ly and the one that contrasts. An ele- gsnt gray gown and wrap were worn with a hat of peacock blue velvet; the effect very good. Peacock blue and peacock green are in highest favor In both millinery and gowns; the cheap feathers have not driven them out.
 A naline neck run usually proves very becoming. and not few are seen al opera and thsafer. They come in the delicate shades. perhaps are most pop nlar in white.

 European Policy Holders. NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-The Washing ton Life Insurance company, the Ger mania Life Insurance company and the Bankers Life Insurance company df- vided the attention of the legislative insurance Investigating committees session here John Tatlock, president of the Washington Life, declared that personally he favored distribution of earnings every five years. The witness took occasion to say that Thomas F.. Ryan never sold the Washington Life any securities and that he never influ- enced or suggested to the finance board what securities to buy. MT. Tatlock said he thought insurance companies should be run by men in touch with Wall street because of their knowledge of the security market He also fa- vored the idea of insurance companies speculating in securities.
 Cornelius Doremus, president of the aGermania cLife, was called to the.staad and said that about one-third of his company's business was done in Flu rope, principally in Germany, and that this business in many respects is bet ter than any done in America. He de- clared it to be more stable, there being fewer lapses, while the cost is a great deal less than in America. The med ical direction is also better in Germa- ny, he said. He characterized the American ways of doing business as "wild methods"

 WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Advices received at the state department from Consul General Rodgers at Shanghai indicate that the situation there contin- ues critical in the extreme The city is quiet because of the presence of the armed forces composed of volunteers from the foreign residents and the na- val contingents. which are able to con- trol the situation. The United States cruiser Baltimore has a large force on shore.
 Mir. Rodgers states that a large Brit ish demonstration by army and navy forces combined is probable. German, Japanese and Austrian cruisers, he says. are now on the way to Shanghai. Although no reports of trouble have been received from the outlying dis tricts. missionaries have become alarm ed. and many are arriving in Shanghai. where there is ample protection within the foreign quarter.
 Some light Is thrown upon the origin of the present trouble by the statement contained in Peking dispatches saying that the Chinese authorities are trying to make a compromise. but demand the removal of a British assessor. This de mand has been refused. presumably by the British authorities.

 She turned her face to me-we had both come to standstill-and plucked at the fastenings of her mask. But her trembling fingers had knotted the string and in a moment she dropped her hands with cry of despair. And you? You?" she said, in a voice so changed I should not have known it for hers.

 She tried feverishly to raise her mask with her hand. q am-not well,' she stammered. q cannot breathe"
 She swayed so violently in her sad dle as she spoke, that I sprang down, and running round her horses head, was just in time to catch her as she fell She was not quite unconscious then, for, as supported her, she mur- mured, Leave me! Leave me! I am not worthy that you should touch me-"
 Those words made me happy. car ried her to the bank, my heart on fire, and laid her against it just as M. de Cocheforet rode up. He sprang from his horse, his eyes blazing with anger.
 What is this?" he cried harshly. What have you been saying to her, man?"
 "She will tell you," I answered dry ly, my composure returning under his eye-''amongst other things, that you are free. From this moment, M. de Cocheforet, give you back your pa- role, and I take my own honor. Fare we'll"
