Real ssyle In New York.

They were wasting a few idle mo-
ments at the Women's Dependence
league in intimate remarks.
'As womanly woman, with woman
ish ways, want to propose Mrs. Dahl
gren for our next president" said Mrs.
Peter T. Rhinelander.
Who is the womanly woman with
womanish ways, yourself or Mrs
Dahlgren?" asked Mrs. Pembroke
Hood, always with an eye to correct
ness of expression.
4 hope it is not necessary for me
to state that l am too much of a lady
to refer to myself in so glowing
terms"
"Oh. very well. It is Mrs. Dahlgren.
She is the perfect one"

ticoats! Why, my dears, she even
washes her dishes with perfumed
soap!"

He said he had gone to the clothes
closet TO get some wearing apparel
for several of men who were practi-
cally without clothes, and upon open
ing the closfet door a shell Of flame
shot forth, burning off his hair and
eyebrows. The Waterman was unable
to shut the door and the whole room
was quickly enveloped in smoke and
flames. O'Conne1 gave the alarm and
hurried around, waking up the sleep
ing inmates. The closet had formerly
been an old elevator shaft and with
door open a draft resulted that quick
ly spread the fire throughout the build
ing.
About eighty-f1ve men were crowd
ed into the basement sleeping. when
the fire was discovered. They were
unable to get out, as the door was APP
parently locked. Their cries attract
ed the attention of policemen and the
basement door was broken in. The
men poured out of the basement like
rats in a trap.
The fremen called to those in the
windows not to jump until the nets
could he stretched, but all to little
avail for as fast as the flames roared
nearer to the windows men jumped
and were picked up, crushed and IN
conscious, below.

ROBERTSDALE PRIESTS HOME
is DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Standard Oil Company Delivers Load
of Coke Still SmOuldering, at House
of INSTRUMENTATION Start From
This and Spread to Spanish Residence.

Fire completely destroyed the beauti-
full home of Father Benedict of Rob
ertsdale. last night and only through
the hard work of the Robertsdale and
Whiting fire departments and hundreds
of voluntees was the Polish Catholic
church saved from destruction.
The fire broke out at midnight, while
the occupants of the house were asleep
and was due to coke that had been
delivered in the afternoon to a neigh
Dor. Patrick Gallagher, from the Stand
ard Oil company while still burning.
The coke smouldered until midnight
when 1t broke out into blaze and i'm
mediately spread to the surrounding
buildings among them the parish
residence.
The lack of water pressure and the
high wind especially made it impossible
TO check the flames. 1t was soon seen
that the home of Father Benedict would
be a complete wreck. Nothing was
saved with the exception of the iron
safe which contained some of the
church documents
Part of the loss is covered by insur-
ance which amounted to $4,000. The
fire was still burning today.

Seek Substitute for Suns RAYS.

Experiments are being actively pur-
sued on both sides of the Atlantic TO
see whether it is not possible to dis
cover some light which would have
the same effect on vegetation as has
the sun. Science IS familiar with the
composition of the solar rays to a
large extent, and it is not regarded as
unreasonable 20 seek for an artificial
substitute AS a matter Of fact, the
rays from an acetylene lamp have
been found to approximate very
closely to sunlight. So much is this so
that fairly well developed plants have
been produced which have never
known the daylight. the whole course
of their existence having been spent
under the influence of acetylene light.

WHY THE SCARF PIN GIFTs7
The Hotel Clerk Laments a Lack of
Human ingenuity.

Il wonder why" unused the hotel
clerk, as he dickered with his tie in
front OF a mirror fixed in the Office
Il wonder why whenever anybody
wants to give me a present he sends
me a scarf pin. If l never wore a pin
| could understand it, But l always
wear one and sometimes when l look
at the collection l have at home, I get
desperate and want to wear half a
dozen at a time. Guests who come
here and receive courtesies always
show their gratitude by sending me a
scarf pin and, in way, it's becoming
embarrassing.
For instance, one man gave me a
VOLTS head pin made of oxidized silver
with rubies for the eyes. It was a
beautiful pin l could see people look
ing at it yards away when l was out,
but one day 1 wore another and the
man who gave me the VOLTS head
blew in from Chicago and was quite
hurt. Now never know what pin to
wear 1t just shows how wealth has
its responsibilities.
