Townsville, n. c., Aug. 3.-The
warehouse and finishing department
of the Cramer Furniture Co. was de.
stroyed by fire. The loss was COM

between $4,000 and $4,000 with

MADE $4,000 PLAYING HYMNS.
Crock OF Ages and "JeSuS, Lover
OF MY SOul,' We're Money
GetterS.

New York, August 4-It is esti-
mated that Melcher Wideman, the
blind organ grinder, who died yes
terday in ST. Joseph's hospital,
worth at least $4,000, must have
ground out favorite hymns, Crock
of Ages" and "Jesus Lover of Ny
SOUL" more than a million times
during the % years he played at the
entrance to Glen Island, John II.
Starlin's summer resort at New
Rochelle.
Although Wideman was blind, he
knew when crowd was approach
ing him, and as each car and boat
unloaded its passengers at Glen
Island he started his wheezy old
organ in motion, and the result was
invariable a shower of coins. It is
said that in the busy season the
aged man averaged $25 day.
In late years he was assisted by
his wife, who carried a large tin cup
ana collected the money. They
worked together until two years
ago, when Mrs. Wideman died.
Although the wealthiest organ
grinder in the country, Wildeman
feared he would spend his last days
in the poor house, and this preyed
on his mind. Two weeks ago he be-
came seriously ill and was forced to
lay aside his hand organ, and died
yesterday at st. Joseph's Hospital.
Wideman had no relatives, and it
is believed that, he willed his hoard
to the Catholic church. A priest
took charge of the body, which will
be buried in New Rochelle.

For morning wear there are smart linen
suits in white and colors, and these show
in most instances the narrow turnover col
lars and cuffs, with short sleeves.
With the plain linen shirt suits, black
belts and girdles are considered smart, and
with this combination, long black gloves
and a white sailor with black quills are
worn.
The sunray frock instead Of losing seems
to have gained prestige with its second
season, and where last year were only
skirts now the pretty effect is carried out
in entire frocks.
The new foulards are the loveliest things
imaginable, more like liberty satins than

Beauty won ont.

OF the thousands of teachers who have
been IN the service OF the Chicago schools
only one, Miss Jane Zabriskie, can turn
over the pages of the minutes of the school
board and find recorded in them that she
is pretty.
The election OF Jane Zabriskie to the chair
Of household arts at the training college
for teachers, says the Chicago Tribune,
followed a bitter fractional disturbance.
William Wesley Black, head critic OF the
school, had been tried on a charge of not
being in sympathy with the teachers whose
work he was employed TO criticise
Charges against Black simmered down
to the single accusation that he did not
know how to smile, but went his rounds
with stern face which sent the chills run
ming along the spines Of the peevish school
ma'ams.
When the name of Miss Zabriskie came
up before the school board some one op-
posed her election because she was not a
resident OF Chicago.
But" pleaded Mrs. Sherman, one OF the
board. Miss Zabriskie was a resident of
Chicago for two years, and-and she is ex-
tremely good looking"
1T seems 10 me-" said Trustee Gallagher

moniously nowadays"
But this woman is pretty" interposed
Trustee Joseph Downey.

HAS she a pretty smila?" demanded
Trustee Edwin Rowland. "A radiant smile
is needed at the normal"
'Sit down, Tom Mrs. Sherman says the
young woman is pretty. That ought to be
enough for YOU" declared Mr.. Harris.
Tom Gallagher sat down. Somebody
moved the election OF Miss zabriskie. Some
body else seconded the motion. It was
carried without dissenting vote.
