Epidemic Of Perfect
Teeth in Wilmington
Leaders of Social and Business
Circles Following New Fad.

Hundreds of residents of Wilmington and
vicinity, including many leaders of social,
business and professional circles, have been
taking quick advantage of the offer of the
NEW METHOD" dental parlors. 61015
Market street. to keep their teeth in perfect
condition for year for one dollar.
The new proposition was offered to the
public a few weeks ago, and since then the
NEW METHOD" parlors have been
crowded by eager clients of all classes. On
several days the number of visitors from
the surrounding country was so great that
the spacious offices were unable to contain
them, with the result that good many per-
sons were forced to wait their turn before
being admitted. Possibly this was due to
| the fact that this is the first time this one
/ dollar yearly contract proposition has been
made in this country.
Despite the startling nature of the NEW
| METHOD" offer it has born the careful
scrutiny of serious investigation. The pro-
| prietors of the NEW METHOD" dental
| parlors are thoroughly responsible gentle
men with high ratings in all of the best
financial agencies and publications.
For one dollar they contract to clean, fill
| and, If necessary, extract the teeth of a
client for one year The dentists in charge
of the parlors are men of long experience in
their professions. The theory under which
they make their new offer is that If teeth
are properly taken care of at the time the
first imperfections appear they will give
comparatively no trouble thereafter, pro-
vided they are examined and treated at moi
too infrequent intervals All the work done
in the NEW METHOD parlors is guaran
teed to be painless.
So far as is known every patient of tn,
NEW METHOD" parlors has beer
thoroughly satisfied with the work don,
there. A number of unsolicited testimonial
letters has been sent to the manager, Or. G
H. Frasier.
Mr.. Daniel Humphries, manager of tn
Lyceum Theatre, which is Wilmington
leading family playhouse, writes as follow
to DIR. Frasier:
Dear Doctor When saw your advertise
ment in one of our papers, / was sceptical
but as my teeth needed attention, decidel
to call on you. BY paying one dollar an,
receiving a card which entitled me to on
years work became your patient for tina
length of time, and on that day receive
many times the value of my expenditure
That was several weeks ago, and the filling
which you then put in have given me ever
comfort and satisfaction.
1t gives me pleasure to recommend you
one dollar year plan and your parlors t
everyone interested.
Very sincerely yours,
DANIEL HUMPHREYS.

FIVE BURN TO DEATH.
Italian Tenement House Destroyed by
Incendiary Fire.

New York, Nov. 16.-At least five per-
sons we're burned to death in an Italian
tenement house fire at 221 East Seven
ty-third street early today. The house
was six stories nigh and the sleeping
tenants on the five upper floors were
made prisoners by the flames with the
ground floor raging furnace beneath
them. Three of those who lost theiE
lives were kneeling in prayer when the
fire reached them.
Within the first hour after the fire
was controlled, the bodies of three wo-
men and two men had been taken from
the stairway between the second and
third floors.
The police believe that the fire was
sterted by an incendiary. It began in
a heap of rubbish at the bottom of an
airsnaft and spread through the inter
ioF of a grocery store on the ground
floor. A policeman was the first per-
son to see the fire, just as it had be-
gun to creep up the airshaft. He ran
into the building, pounding on the hail
doors all the way up to the sixth floor
to awaken the tenants. The fire fol-
lowed him so swiftly that when he
reached the top floor he was obliged TO
send the tenants out of the fire escapes
to save them from suffOcatiOn Within
a few moments more on all the floors
below the fire escapes were packed with
persons whom the flames had CUT off
from escape by the interior stairways.
When the fire department arrived
with ladders nearly every one on the
fire escapes was kneeling in prayer.
Adding to the pathOs of the scene was
the action of the men who stood with
their arms full of personal possessions
while their wives fought unaided to
protect the children from being Tram
pied by the crowd or suffocated by
smoke
On the third stairway the firemen
found the bodies of two women and
three men who had evidently knelt to-
gether where they died.
The dead:
Guizppi Randazzo.
Antonio Lorea.
Salvatore Tiazza.
Santa Tiazza.
Antonio Selarde.

AMERICANS ONLY.
No More Foreigners to Serve Uncle
Sam as Consular Agents.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Not a single
foreigner has been appointed to the
consular service abroad since Secretary
Root assumed office. With the inten-
ton of meeting the demands of the
business world for a general improve
ment of the consular system as Tar as
he can without waiting for congress
siOnal action, this marks one of the
reforms the secretary has made. 1t
happens that there are a number Of
small places ia the consular service
abroad, consular agencies in particu-
lar, where the compensation, made up
of fees, is so small that 1t is difficult
to induce an American to take the
places In such cases reliable business
men. natives OF the places, have been
appointed consular agents of America
and as the consular agency was mere
ly a side issue they could afford to
hold these posts. But Secretary Root
feels that it is his duty to put none
but Americans on guard"
Aside from the fact that a foreign
er naturally might be expected to take
less interest than an American in the
development of our trade abroad, it is
felt that in time of political Stress
wherein relations lions might become
placed upon the loyalty of the foreign
consular agent to his native country
as would be imposed by recurring him
to do his full duty to the country
WAlAEA employs ulIu
So although a number of vacancies
have occurred in these posts since Sec
rotary Root assumed Office he has held
consistently to the policy above laid
down and where it has not been pos
sible to secure Americans to fill the
vacancies the Offices have been allowed
to remain vacant. OF course the va
cancles can not continue Indefinitely.
but the secretary hopes that with the
pressure of the business world behind
him, congress viii yield to his appeal
for more liberal compensation for
these small posts so as to enable him

CASTRO WONT PAY.
Refuses to LAquidate Second INSTALL
ment OF PIuInley Award.

Paris. Nov. 16.-The foreign office
is advised that President Castro yes
terday refused to pay the second in
staIlrnent of the Plumley arbitration
award. The amount covered damages
sustained by French citizens in Ven
ezuela during revolutionary periods
prior to 1908. Judge Frank Plumley
of Mortified, Vt, was president of the
arbitration committee which met at
Northfeld last year. The judgment
was in favor of France and awarded
about s650,00O. President Castro paid
the first installment or me award
three months ago. The second pay
ment was due yesterday, but was not
paid.
Apparently the Venezuelan presi-
dents failure to pay the installment
was on the ground that diplomatic re-
lations between France and Venezuela
are Interrupted. The officials here de-
cline to admit that this justified Presf-
dent Castro in not paying the install
ment. The incident is considered to
be a further provocation.

Illinois, Mimi esota, Wisconsin, Utah,
Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, and Mis-
souri,.
The report says that the laws in the
first group "have all turned out to
be practically dead letters"
Much the same verdict Of failure
must be pronounced upon the second
group of laws. In Pennsylvania alone
was anything accomplished under this
system.
OF the ten states of which laws for
a state board provide also for local
arbitration, in none of the reports Of
such board is to be found that the
latter provision was ever made use of
except in Massachusetts and Ono.
AS to state boards of Cancellation
and arbitrations involving seventeen
states, these which have been active
relatively little or not at all are the
following nine states; California, Col
orado, Connecticut, Idaho, Louisiana.
Michigan, Minnesota, Montana. and
Utah.
The remaining eight state boards
not only have been more active ever
since their establishment than the
nine mentioned, but also have all pub
lished regular reports as required by
their laws. They are New York.
Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Wis
consin, Illinois, Indiana. and Missouri.
OF the five states which provide in
PREVENTION by state labor commits
sioners, the law was in force in North
Dakota but a year. In Colorado this
was superseded by a state board of
arbitration. The records, however,
show that during ten years ending in
1897, with II strikes in the state. in
only three of them is intervention bv
the commissioner reported, and In
none OF the three did he effect a set
tlenent In Missouri considerably
more appears to have been accom-
phshed. In Washington state during
Two years record there were 2 cases
OF intervention by the commissioner,
resulting IN six settlements, two dis
putes without strike or lockout. and
six failures. In Maryland the Drovf-
sion is SO recent that the arbitration
law had not been tested"

evening. while waiting for the trunk
that didn't arrive.
The trunk in question contained
Reinhard's samples, including, he
says, about 5000 600 worth of jewelry,
$4,000 of it in loose diamonds. When
Reinhard finally found his trunk-it
came in on a train from Wichita,
many hours late, he did not prove
value to the officers whom he had en-
listed in the search. but he did show a
small box full of small envelopes, each
containing several small gems
Reinhard left Wichita Wednesday
morning, and thought he saw his
trunk loaded onto the same train.
When he reached Topeka, however,
the trunk did not, and he became
nervous He telegraphed to Wichita
and several other places, and about
4:30 in the afternoon called upon
Chief Goodwin and told his troubles.
The chief and a pair of detectives
visited the Rock Island depot with
Reinhard in time to meet an incoming
train from the west. They invaded
the baggage car and found the missing
trunk, all intact and none of the con-
tents missing-strange wasn't it2
Reinhard said that his samples were
insured. It may be necessary to state
that the man who lost his diamonds
isn't an actress and doesn't care a
thing for advertising.
