DESTROYED. BY FIRE
ISAAC c. GIBBS LOSES HOUSE
AND CONTENTS.

Isaac c. Gibbs, his wife and an adopted
child were made homeless by fire this
morning about 1:3O o clock. They owned
and occupied a two-story frame dwelling
near 60th and \ streets. Capitol Heights,
a short distance away from Chesapeake
Junction. Because of the Indictment
weather this morning. Mr. Gibbs who is
carpenter, did not rise as early as usual
Mrs. Gibbs was up and about the house,
however. and started fire in the kitchen
stove preparatory to getting breakfast
ready for the small family, and it is be-
lieved the chimney became overheated
starting a fire.
Mrs. Gibbs discovered the blaze and
aroused her husband and the child. 1t
was about as much as the occupants of
the house could do to escape with their
lives. The flames spread so rapidly that
they We're unable to save any of the
household goods. All they could do was
to go to the house of a neighbOr and
watch the destruction of their home.
About thirty minutes after the fire started
there was but little left of the house and
contents.
The police of the 9th precinct were no.
titled of the fire and several of them went
to Capitol Heights, but We're unable to be
of any assistance. 1t would have been
useless to have called an engine company.
there being no water service in that part
of the county. nj addition TO the loss of
their home and furniture, Mr.. and Mrs.
Gibbs said they lost number of valuable
heiriOoms. Mr.. Gibbs places his loss at
about S2,GC0, the damage being covered
by insurance.

NEW HIGHWAY BRIDGE.
All the Work Completed According
to Engineer Officer.

In report to the War Department in
regard to the Highway bridge across the
Potomac. Maj. Cosby. Corps of Engineers,
says that all the work to be done by the
government in connection with the bridge
and approaches is completed with the eX-
ception of few minor details.
THE principal work remaining to De
DONE" he adds. lis the completion by the
Washington. Alexandria and Mount Yer
non Railway Company, as required by
law. of the paving between and on each
side of its underground conduit tracks on
the Washington approach. the removal of
its temporary poles and overhead work,
and the adoption of some satisfactory Sys-
tenn of operating cars over the stretch of
about go feet between the pow pits at the
southern terminus of its underground sys-
tenn and the north end of the Highway
bridge.
THE act of Congress of February IL
1901, authorizing the Washington. Alexan-
dria and Mount Vernon Railway Company
to change the location of its tracks so as
to enable them to cross the new Highway
bridge provides that no dynomo furnish
Ing power to this portion of the road shall
be in any manner connected with the
ground So far no effort has been made
by the railway company to comply with
this requirement the short section be-
tween the pillow pits and the bridge. This
office has made repeated but unavailing
efforts to hasten the work of the railway
company. The time for completion was
extended by the Secretary of War from
June 80. 1907, to December L. 1907, and
the railway company gave bond in the
penal sum of $4,000 to complete the
work by that date. The section of track
from the foot of 18th street southwest to
point about 200 feet south of the Wash
tngton Channel bridge has been completed
and in use since early in August The sec
ton between this point and the pillow pits
at the main Highway bridge was COM
pleted Except for paving and ready for
operation on the last day of November

to the character of the paper and the
nature and amount of the ink. To quote

that the best result is a pulp of de-

these remarks are concerned with lamp

NEW PAPER FROM OLD.
Importance of the Utilization Of
Waste-Getting Rid of Ink.

From the Literary digest
In these days when we are threatened
with famine of paper-making material
and when the rising price of paper is
forcing some publishers to increase the
price of their publications, the utilization
of waste printed paper and cuttings has
taken on great Importance. There are
dealers who buy and sell nothing but
paper scraps, and large establishments
where such scraps are sorted. Technical
Literature, in an article distracted from
London Paper Making, tells us that the
chief points in working up waste print
ed papers are: First, that the new
paper must be at least as good as the
original: that no special plant should be
needed, and that the cost should not be
prohibtive. Under these conditions the
same cellulose may be converted into
paper over and over again until the
fibers are broken so that they cannot
form a web. We read further:
The chief difficulty in the way of
obtaining a disable pulp from printed
papers is presented by the printing ink
and means have therefore to be sought
OF getting rid of this substance. The
indelibilty of printing ink is proverbial,
but although it cannot be removed with
out Gis!ntegrating the paper. it can be
removed after or during that disintegra-
ton.
Taking the cnlet SORT OF printed paper,
viz. old Newspapers. We find an inferior
paper made OF wood pulp. cellulose and
filings. The printing on 1t may be re-
garded as the result of the drying Of a
mixture of finely divided lampblack with
an oily vehicle. On examining printed
letter under a high power, the black par
ticfes of lampblack and the gray dry
residue of the vehicle can often be clearly
differentia ted.
..rhe principle which underlies the re-
moyal of printing ink from paper is thus
obviously to employ agents which will
destroy or dissolve the vehicle which
binds the lampblack or other pigment
1colored printing inks are now in extern
sive use) to the paper
The first step. we are told. is to dis:n-
tegrate the waste paper in the ordinary
manner The resulting pulp is sieved,
and "a large part of the pigment is thus
separated at the outset. There are va
rious ways of removing the residue. In
one German process the pulp is treated
with soap solution. which, when the
mass Is sieved again. carries away most
of the remaining pigment. The amount

His Weakest Point.
From the Chicago News.


Out around the circuit of the chautau
quas. which are now in full blast in these
United States. and especially in the mid
die west. they are telling. lovingly and
tenderly, funny stories of the lamented
Sam P. Jones. Perhaps Jones filled more
chautauqua dates than any other man on
earth. He was always a drawing card a
chautauqua staple, and only those who
best knew the man saw through the su-
perficial and mob-catching roughness into
the real goodness within.
At Maysville, Mo, last summer. the
manager of the Chautauqua a ter Jones
farewell speech there, was making to the
audience a few facetious remarks, in the
course of which he said:
The only particular in which / am in
any wise Mr.. Jones superior is in looks"
Jones arose from his chair walked de-
liberately around in front offs the man,
looked at him searchingly moment and
then drawled gently, In plain hearing
of the audience:
