Baltimore and Ohio ten years ago, loading up with great lines of these various stocks at $S to $15 a share and holding on until away above par. Indeed, he Is today a very large holder in most of these properties His profits in stocks bought under the circum- stances described are said to have ex- ceeded $i00OO.oOo yet his name is rarely mentioned as one of the big men of that era. MT. Mills will celebrate his sgd birthday next September. and although far from being robust man he gives promise of living several years longer. He has always been regarded by his as- sociates as remarkably courageous, long headed and was always ready to stand in the gap to prevent panics or violent up- heavals in business. It was MT. Mills who came to the rescue of the San Fran cisco banks when Ralston committed sui eide after wrecking the institution over which he presided. One of MT. Mills gold mines is a controlling interest in the Mergenthaler company. His original investment In Mergenthaler was ss0,000. His dividends on the stock then accu- mulated amount to four or five times more every year than he invested. He is also part owner of the International Paper company, his investment there being in the preferred stock which has bees steady dividend payer for years. NIT. Mills has a son, ]. ogden Mills, and a daughter, Mrs. Whtelaw Reid, wife of the proprietor of the New York Tribune and ambassador to the Court of St. James.

Those who rogel in big figures will be interested to know that the losses In the stock market on the great decline that has been going on since last fall have been very greatly underestimated, and that they will reach between $5e00.000 and S6,000 900 instead of paltry s2500.00 to S3,000,000 as generally published.

An fdah no politician was asked by
his wife to lay aside politics long
enough one day to dig the potatoes
in the garden. He consented, and
after digging few minutes he re-
turned to the house and said he had
found a coin. He washed the dirt
off and it proved to be a silver
quarter. He put it in his jeans and
went back to work. Presently he
went to the house and told his wife
he had found another coin. He
washed the dirt off and this time it
was silver half dollar. He put it
in his jeans. II have worked pretty

A small piece OF hose was carried to

supply. Finally. sufficient hose had
reached the scene to connect with the
plug near st. Peters Church. In the
meantime the fire was eating it's OWL
sweet way through the rear OF tn.
house where it started, and q number
Of young men and boys were outdo-
ng the records OF any darktown fire
brigade In mad efforts to save dishes
and breakable wares by tossing them
on the ground and more carefully de-
posting non-destructible articles. To
add to the mishandling OF the fire,
doors and windows were ripped from
their hinges and fastenings through
out the building in order to save
them from destruction. This mis-
taken solicitude, OF course, gave the
flames splendid opportunity to gain
head way by reason of the free access
and egress OF air.
Many narrow escapes were re
corded by onlookers from the flying
shutters and other hard hitting art
icles that were tossed from windows:
The only gratifying story that can
be told OF the fire is that the greater
portion Of the hoDse was saved; but
the fact must be recorded that had
the efforts of the well-meaning but
excited persons been properly d.
rected from the beginning the flames
would not have gotten beyond the
starting point, the kitchen.
Miss Edith Parker proved herself
one OF the heroines in the midst OF tht
excitement. She was standing on the
lawn and saw a dark object flying
through the air that had been thrown
from an attic window. Presence OF
mind came to the young lady; she
knew bold action was necessary to
save the dark object; she sprang for
ward and in an instant caught tht
dark object. which might have been
baby, but was not-the dark object
turned out to be Miss Esther Risley g

BOTH OF HIS LEGS

Borough Clerk Webster Price, who

car at Bakersville IL weeks ago, suf-
fered q second operation on his left
leg at the Pennsylvania Hospital
in Philadelphia on Saturday. The
anaesthetic was administered at /
O'Clock, and Web regained conscious
ness about 4 o'clock, delighted to
find that he still had both legs. The
condition of the bone had SO Inn
proved since the operation In the
Atlantic City Hospital that the sur
geons decided to chance another
union. The ends OF the bone were
fitted and held together by a silver
plate. 1t will require about eight
weeks to determine results. If the
bone does not knit this time all that
medical skill can do will have been
done and amputation will result.
The right leg will be operated on
later. The operation was performed
by Doctors Harte, Mitchell and Vaux,
Of the Pennsylvania staff, In the pres
ence OF several noted surgeons who
had been attending the National
Association at Atlantic City.

Methodists, which Is being held at
the Taylor G. M. Church, German
town Avenue above Norris Street,

day to consolidate with the Phila

mascus and Nazareth, respectively.
Including al the churches the confer
ence has property valuation OF
about $50 900. The consolidation OF
the. two conferences has been under
consideration for some time. The
two bodies of the same denomination
have been working separately, and
1t was thought that unian would
bring not only strength but progress.

.SOMERS POINT, LIKE
CITIES, HAS A FIRE

A stubborn fire destroyed the Som
ers Point Lumber Company's works
on Monday evening. About O'Clock
a small blaze was noticed In the front
part OF the planning mill, famed by q
stiff southeast wind the flames were
driven In a twfnkling through the
entire building. The local engine
company, with apparatus, were
promptly on the scene. but owing
to the fact that the only water sup
ply was right at the mill the firemen
were greatly handicapped, as they
had to go to the Shore Road for
water. The plant and a large lot of
lumber are total losses. Capt. James
EweD, one OF the owners and the
manager Of the plant, when seen at
the fire, said he was at loss to
know how 1t could have started. He
believes, however, the fire was oil
incendiary origin.
