steadily decreasing by emigration to the

OLD LANDMARK
AT WARREN IS
BURNED DGNN

The William G.. Baker house. erected
about 200 years ago. and one OF the best
known landmarks Of Warren, was totally
destroyed by fire about 1 o'clock this
morning. Two Portuguese families es-
capped death in their night garments.
The house stood at the corner of Baker
and Water streets, surrounded by seVeraI
wooden buildings, while on the opposite
corner is brick block where handker-
chiefs are manufactured.
When the fire was discovered the flames
had practically enveloped the upper por-
tlon OF the building, and when the hre-
men arrived the fire had made such head
way that IL was seen that there was no
chance 10 check IL. At the end of an hour
there was little save the charred upright
timbers and a mass OF debris left OF the
old structure.
The flremen directed their attention TO
saving the wooden frame buildings In the
immediate vicinity. The families In these
hurriedly donned their clothing, packed
up their valuables so that they could be

fremen.
The other buildings were all saved.

fires, which We're extinguished as soon as

BAD YEAR
FOR BOSSES
Continued from page u

that Mr.. Bryan will speak in several
states under the direction of the com
mittee and will lend every possible ef-
fort to further the chances of a Demo.
cratic victory in November. No plans
have been made yet for the Bryan
speaking tour, it not even being decided
in which states he will speak. The
committee will leave this matter very
largely to Mr.. Bryan, though it will
furnish him a list of places where it
believes his appearance would do most
good.
The Republican campaign managers
have not yet made any definite plans
for the use of their heavy artillery. but
it is expected the members of Mr.
Rooseyelt's cabinet will do great deal
of speechmaking. Secretary Taft is
largely in demand and many calls are
coming in for the services of Secretary
Shaw When Secretary Root returns
from South America ii is expected he
will make at least one notable speech,
which can be used as a campaign doc
ument, and there is hope that Mr..
Roosevelt himself may contribute still
farther to the campaign literature.
In about two weeks now the cam
paign will be under way in full blast,
and for six weeks the noise of the
SPELL binders will he heard in the land.
Will Leave Sycamore Hill.
The announcement that Mr.. Roose-
yelt will leave Sycamore Hill for the
White House on Oct. | was welcome
news to Washington. A change al
ways comes over the capital when the
President returns from his summer vaca-
ton, and just now the Chief Executives
presence is needed here to help along
the "Greater Washington" boom, 1t
is planned to bring excursion parties to
the city and excmsionists don't like to
come here unless the President is at
home. 1t is true very few of them
ever see him, but there is difference
in the atmosphere that lends great at
tractiveness.
Considerable repairing and refurnish-
ing has been going on at the White
House during the summer, but the man
sion will be all in readiness when the
Presidents family returns 1t is esti-
mated the coming winter will be very
brilliant one in social way. The
presence in Washington of a married
daughter of the President. her husband
holding an official position and with
the money to maintain an elaborate es-
tablishment, will inject new and ex-
tremely interesting phase. The predic-
tion is frequently heard that the en-

The Brightwood Avenue Republican
club is composed of negro non-voters
OF the District of Columbia, but its
propaganda is expected to spread like
wild-fre among negroes in the states
which permit negroes to vote. Messrs.
Foraker and Cushman have been duly
notified and now the club has settled
