Fire Marshal Nicholson and Police
Are at Work

Fire Marshal Nicholson and the police
of the eighth precinct are making an in
vesugaton of fire yesterday morning
shortly after o'clock in the house Of
Frederick S. Donaldson. 2034 18th street.
There was nobody in the house at the time
the fire was discovered by George Peacock.
The latter turned in an alarm from box
239. Several companies of the fire depart
ment and the police reserves from the
eighth precinct were soon on the scene
and in short while the fire was extin-
guished The condition of the premises
caused the police and fremen to believe
that the blaze was the work of an in
cendiary, the fire having started in rooms
on the upper and lower floor. The odor Of
oil was detected in the house, but nothing
was found to indicate the identity of
the incendiary.
MI Peacock resides two doors from the
house in which the fire occurred. When
he discovered the blaze he feared other
properly would be destroyed, and that pos
lost no time in summoning the fire depart
ment and in doing what he could to pre-
vent the spreading of the flames. At the
time Mr.. Donaldson was with his family
about eight miles from Rockville, having
gone there to spend Sunday. He was sum-
moned home yesterday. He estimated his
loss at about $3.50, the property being
fully insured.

Prof Thomas E. Will addressed the
members of the Secular League at Pythian
Temple yesterday afternoon. He spoke on
evolution as the foundation of modern civil
ization. Prof. Will traced the evolution Of
society from the time that the lowest forms
of vegetable life appeared on the planet to
the present complex social organization. He
said that animals had followed vegetation,
and man had followed the animals. First
came savagery, then barbarism, and finally
civilization. The evolutionary process had
continued In civilized times. first including
slavery, then serfdom, and finally wage
working, eacn of them developments of the
former state. From the beginning, he
said, servitude has rested on the control Of
some of the necessaries of life, and it con-
tnues today in diversified form throughout
all the ramification of society wherever
man has to work for a living, receiving the
wage and submitting to the exactions of
some man above him. The system controls
all the activities of life and vitiates the
best results from the labor of the indi-
vidual.

yard. During the early part of the trouble
in Cuba several months ago hurry orders
were sent to the shipyad to put the launch

ready to sail, the orders were counter
manded, and the little craft was again laid
lr, and was hauled out for the winter.

men have again received instructions to put
the boat in order, and she will be launched
within the next day or two.

An extraordinary sort Of sale Is going
on at W. B. Moses e. Sons big esta blish-
ment just now, and considering the time of

ishing amount of attention. In way,
this is regarded as the best kind of an in
dorsement of the judgment and sense OF
residents of the national capital. They
seem to realize that fall and winter are
not the only two seasons in which buying
may be done to advantage, and that In
the operation of big firm having enormous
stocks and great responsibilities clearing
out is sometimes essential, even II 1t IN
wolves substantial sacrifices in values.
Purchasers are permitted to select furnl-
ture carpets, rugs-in fact, whatever they
wish-to pay 10 per cent of the purchase
price now and the remainder before Sep
tember /, the goods to be delivered at the
convenience OF the buyer. That is one
reason why so many have bought and are
buying furniture and other household
necessities aud luxuries that ordinarily they
would purchase in the fall Of the year.
The sale will continue until the articles
which have been reduced are disposed OF.
1t Is a case of first come, first served and
from the looks of things everybody in
town who appreciates the unusual charac-
ter and subst a ntial value of the novel oHer
intends to be first.
