business blocks in the center OF the

The fire Quilted the department store
Of Goodnow, Pierson q Co, the largest

A score of women customers and clerks
Of the department store were thrown

their lives. The fremen took some of
the women from rear windows BY the
use of ladders.
Mrs. Charles Carswell, bride Of only
a few weeks, discovered an escape by
the rear of the store and led many Of
the shoppers to safety. Her heroic act
was none too soon, for scarcely had the
last woman gained the rear exit when
an explosion shook the building.
The blaze was fannned by strong
westerly wind The building, which is
q wooden one. was q mass of flames a
few minutes after the firemen arrived.
The Dunn factory was but recently re-
built after being destroyed by fire. Sur
buildings repeatedly caught fire
and emhers from the burning Grange
building were carried half mile by the |

A BUSINESS LESSON.
How Peter Cooper Taught One Man
the Value Of Money.

How Peter Cooper Taught One Man
the Value Of Money.
Peter Cooper was one OF the most
successful, careful and prudent bust
ness men of his time. He was strong
y opposed TO the methods OF many
merchants who launched out into ex-
travagant enterprises on borrowed
money. for which they paid exorbltant
rates OF interest The following anec-
dote illustrates this point very forci-
bly,:
Once. while talking about a project
with an acquaintance. the, LATTER said
he would have TO borrow the money
for six months, paying interest at the
rate Of Q per cent per month.
why do you borrow for so short q
timer" Mr.. Cooper asked.
Because the brokers viii, not nego-
tiate bills for longer"
well, IL you wish" said. Mr.. Coop
er, Il VIII discount your note at that
rate for three years"
Are you In earnestY' asked the

Certainly am. I will discount
your note for $4,000 for threes years
at that rate. VIII you do itY'
"0f course will" said the mer-
chant.
Very WELL" said Mr.. Cooper. "Just
sign this note for $4,000, payable in
three years. and give your check for
$500. and the transaction will be COM
plete"
But where is the money for me?"
asked the astonfshed. merchant.
You don't get any money" was the
reply. Your interest for thirty.six
months at per cent per month
amounts to los per cent or s10,s0O.
Therefore your check for $500 just
makes US even"
The force of this practical illustra-
ton Of the folly ofpaying such an ex-
brilliant price for the use of money
was such that the merchant Determined
never TO borrow at such rulnous rates.
md he frequently used to say that
lOthing could have SO fully convinced

COAST LABOR DEFICIT.
Navy Department Wants More Help at
Navy Yards.

Washington, Oct. 22.---1n answer to
complaints BY officers Of the American
Federation of Labor. Secretary of the
Navy Metcalf explained yesterday that
the navy department did not contem-
plate the wholesale transportation Of
mechanics TO the Pacific coast to meet
the emergency created by the scarcity
of skilled labor there. The secretary
said that there was shortage of labor
on the coast, and the department was
having great difficulty to keep up the
full working force at the navy yards Of
that section. But only the usual meth
DDS OF advertising would be employed, he
said, to obtain help. Transportation to
the coast will not be furnished
There is much concern felt at the de.
partment on account Of the scarcity Of
labor, in view of the prospective visit
of the battleship feet and the necessity
that win exist for repairing the vessels
when they reach Pacific waters.
