Get Married Young !

Now comes the edict from the
Pope for the young swain with
matrimonial inclinations to seek
early and find the maid that must
supply him with his missing rib :
1T is timely to remark that per-
Sous of manageable age, and who
feel no vocation to the religious
life, should conscientiously consi.
der the ACCESSIBILITY and duty of
entering the married state (for du.
ty it surely is for the larger part
of the human family, and for this
reason they should pray to God to
send them suitable partners and
direct them in their choice, for
matrimony is a sacrement and
brings the blessing of God on
those receiving it in the state Of
grace and who live in q Christian
manner"

BISBEE HAS HALF
MILLION FIRE Loss
Dynamite Alone Saves Town
From Destruction After the
Blaze Reaches Residences

Ell PASO, Tex, Oct. IA special to
the. Times from Bisbee, Ariz.. says:
Fire broke out here at o'clock to-
night and in three hours had done up
ward of 100000 damage. The blaze
started In the rear of the Grand hotel,
on upper Main street. This large
wooden structure burned like tinder
and the water pressure being low, the
fire department could do nothing to
stay its progress.
Immediately adjoining the Grand ho-
tel was large livery stable. which
took fire. The heat was so intense by
this time that it was impossible to get
the fire apparatus near enough to the
adjoining buildings to do effective
work.
The flames swept on without check.
extending both up and down Main
street on the east side for two blocks
They finally stopped at the new brick
building of Frankenburger & Newman,
which. together with It's $4,000. stock
of clothing was destroyed. From this
point the. flames jumped across Main
street to the large grocery store of
j. B. Angus. which was also destroyed
Advancing up Main street in the direc-
ton of Castle rock, several small busi-
ness houses were wiped out, as was the
splendid new building of the Elks,
which fell prey to the flames and was
a total loss.
Leaving the business section, the fire
swept over Clawson hill, one of the best
residential parts of the city Here
every dwelling was destroyed with the
exception of the Henkle and Clawson
residences When the flames threatened
to wipe out the entire city dynamite
was resorted to and buildings were
blown down in the path of the fire. This
in a large measure prevented the de-
struction of the entire town The loss
is 100000; insurance. 100000.

LONG FLIGHT MADE
BY SWISS BALLOON
Aeronauts Picked Up Near
Death in Sea; German Con-
testant Still Missing

BERLIN. Oct. 14.-Only one Of the
23 balloons which started In the race
for the international trophy on sun
day from schmargendorf is unaccount-
ed for. This is the German balloon
Busley. under the command of DR..
Niemeyer, with Hans Heidenmann as
assistant.
Dispatches received here today from
Cuxhaven announced that the Spanish
contestant, the Castillo, dropped into
the. ocean six miles north of Heligo-
land and that the navigators. Montojo
and Robero. were rescued by fishermen.
This evening dispatch was received
from Molde. Norway telling Of the
descent of the Swiss balloon Helvetia
to the ocean and the rescue of Colonel
Schaeck and E. Messner. The dispatch
reads as follows:
Fishing boat this afternoon rescued
occupants balloon Helvetia at the last
moment as they were sinking. the gas
being totally exhausted. The balloon
was saved. Schaeck and Messner will
remain here over night and proceed to
Christiania tomorrow"
Molde is only 80 miles southwest OF
Christiania and to reach this point the
Helyetia must have Travelled about
1850 kilometers, or 775 miles. in a
direct line and must have travelled. over
the Skagerrack. or the still greater
body of the North sea.
This is by far the greatest distance
reported to the credit of any of the
contestants. the majority Of whom
either took a somewhat circular course
or were compelled to descend on ac-
count OF their proximity TO water.
The Helvetia is the fifth balloon
among the international contestants to
come to grief. The Conqueror and the
Montanes burst at a high altitude and
the st. Louis and the Castillo were
wrecked in the North sea. Although
no casualties followed these disasters,
the escape of the 10 men who were in
the unfortunate balloons was almost
miraculous

Woman Slasl1ed His Face
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. !


SAN JOSE. Oct. 14.-Down in Chile
when woman believes that her lover
is faithless she often resorts to the
'cortada,'' that is she brands him for
upon his face that the world may know
of his act. The rumor is current here
today that Victor A. Scheller, presf-
dent of the San Jose chamber of COM
merce. leader of the local bar associa-
ton, member of the state democratic
central committee, and bachelor club
man, is a victim of this custom and
will always wear a great scar on his
handsome countenance as the evidence
of the awful act of a jealous woman
in whose veins runs the strain of the
blood of South American ancestors. The
identity of his assailant and the details
of the cutting are rs carefully guarded
today as they were Monday evening
the time of the slashing of the club
mans face from brow to chin.
The police insist that they do not
know the full details of the story.
Chief Haley stated tonight that he
started an investigation. but when he
learned from friend of Scheller's that
ler's assailant the case was dropped
The story is current on the street
that San Francisco woman was Schel-
ler's assailant. Where this story started
is not known, nor can the rumor be
traced. An employe in the building
where Scheller's offices are located
stated that he observed a distinguished
looking woman of the brunette type
enter Scheller's Offices during the aft
ernoon shortly before the attack on
Scheller. Her description fits that of
woman to whom, it is said, Scheller
has shown many attentions during the
past eight years. and who is said TO
be of South American descent. The
attack on Scheller undoubtedly oc-
Cured in his office. He was attended
there by physicians and then hurried
away in a hack. The San Francisco
woman is said to be the divorced wife
of local sporting man and was for

statement late tonight:
