DYNAMlTED HOME
NEAR ELKTON
Stone Weighing $50 Pounds
Crashes Through Roof OF
Maryland Dwelling

ELKTON. Nd. June 3.-An attempt to
blow up the family Of Abraham Reamer,
his store and residence, in the village OF
c. mbria, by the use Of dynamite, has re-
suited in the citizens of the upper section
of Hartford county becoming much excited.
The county authorities are on the trail
OF the wreckers, who are believed TO be-
long to a Blackhand gang.
While the Reamer family were asleep,
about 100 pounds of dynamite were ex-
ploded in the rear Of Mr. Reamer's resi-
dence. The kitchen was wrecked ana a
number Of other buildings a considera BILE
distance away were damaged.
In some way the front portion of the
Reamer residence was not wrecked, and
the sleeping members of the family es-
capped with their lives. The explosion,
however, shook the house so badly that
Mrs. Reamer and one of the children were
thrown from their beds.
A large stone, which has since been
weighed and tipping the scales at Ss6
pounds. was thrown in the air by the eX-
plosion and came down on the roof of
Hugh Ramseys house, a nearby nelghbor.
The roof was crushed and the stone
crashed into one Of the rooms, but no one
was injured.
The explosion was so heavy that the
report was heard six miles away. The
barr on the Reamer property which was
over fifty yards away from the honse was
damaged worse than the residence.

STOLE HARNESSTO
CLOSE A BARGAIN
CO'Ored Man Raided MiRqua.
dale Home Stable, and Had
Designs on a Horse, Too

II a gent OF chocolate hue comes to
wilmington with most liberal offers to
sell you the Minquadale Home, be care
ful. for the visitor will be acting un-
officially.
This same dark gentleman has al
ready disposed of part of the property
of the Home to Franklin Hopes, Of
Hare's Corner road, near the Minqua-
dale Home. and the latter has now had
s. worth of experience with a colored
sharper.
Mr.. Hopes was approached by the
colored man yesterday with an offer to
sell him a fine set Of harness. The coll
ored mans story Of his partnership
with his father, the latters decision to
retire and his own wish to go out of
business interested Mr. Hopes. So
when the colored man offered to sell
him the harness Of the horse, which be
declared was the property Of his father
and himself, Mr.. Hopes accepted the
bargain.
The bargainer then went not to his
home for the harness, but 10 the stable
of the Minquadale Home. where he
had been employed as a man Of all
work, and taking possession Of the
best set Of harness he could find, re-
turned to Mr.. Hopes. The latter was
decidedly pleased with the harness and
accepted it at once, handing the col
ored man a IS bill. The colored man
also wanted to sell Mr.. Hopes fine
horse for SOS. but Mr.. Hopes fortu-
nately saw no need Of one, and the
further deal was not made.
Soon after the negro's departure, Mr..
Hopes learned that the harness which
had been sold TO him had been stolen
from the Home. He accordingly re-
turned it and then notified the police,
who are now looking for the fiim-flam
man.
1t is supposed he intended to return
to steal the horse from Minquadale
Home stable If Mr.. Hopes had been
willing to buy the horse. Superintend-
ent Prettyman is now on the alert to
prevent the man carrying the Home
away.

"He hovers on the verge. but does

does and says such odd. unreasonable

often wish he would pass into genuine

suicide or become really insane. and

How One Woman Earns . Livelihood
Without Special Training.

How One Woman Earns . Livelihood
Without Special Training.
There are so many women at the
present time who are forced By cir
cumstances 10 find some means OF self
support that any new suggestion as TO
ways and means is always received
enthusiastically.
The story Of woman In one OF the
large cities seems to show that every
one must have some special gift. be Il
sewing. housekeeping, cleaning or busl-
ness, aud every one should seek her
especial talent until she 1Ns t. This
rule should really hold good even if
money is not a necessity. for a talent
may always be turned to the aid OF
another or others, as the case may be-
The particular woman OF the story
was left widow and pennlless, with
q rooted objection TO dressmaking and
most other forms OF employment by
which the average woman seeks TO
earn her living. Finally she decided
that, although her hands were long
and slender and her fingers OF the
most artistic type, she could do moth
ing but handle fine lace and frills, and
she therefore sought and obtained
some delicate fabrics to clean and
press. For two years she supported
herself by this work. although not en-.
tirely TO her own satisfaction.
One day she happened to pass a
store where glass and other fragile
works OF art were sold. and hcr artls-
tic temperament caused her to enter
to more closely examine the beauties
displayed in showcase and on the coun-
ter. Once there her long. fine hands
strayed toward the bits Of marble un-
til the manager Of the store saw her
and approached TO ask her TO read the
usual sign forbldding visitors TO han
die the pieces. But as he watched her
he changed his mind and instead re-
marked on her lightness OF touch aud
I asked her il she would enter his en-
p.oyment
She replied that she could not take a
saleswoman's position, but added that
handling the fragile works Of art was
a pleasure. to which he answered
THAT is all l want you to do-keer
them clean" SO she accepted the OF.
fer and for twelve years she has tend
ed TO and kept the stock In good con
dition.
Later It occurred to her that she
might also take care Of private collec.
tlons or Of those relics too precious TO
trust to ordinary care.
Her business grew and grew. and
now she has all she can handle. for,
although some collections are not visit
ed but once in two years, others need
/ monthly attention.
Thus the casual visit paid TO a store
started this plucky little woman on her
life work. and her story suggests many
possibilities for others too delicate foI
heavy work, yet gifted in one partlc
ular way.

1t saves you money.
That's a queer thing to say of soap.
But it's true of Fels-Naptha.
Howl Simple as A, B, c.
Clothes cost money. When you boil
clothes you weaken their fibre Just as you
soften meat or vegetables by boiling. Hard
rubbing wears them out.
When you wash clothes with
Fels-Naptha you neither boil nor hard-rub
them. Fels-Naptha does the work far
better in cold or lukewarm water in half the
time and bother.
Your clothes will wear twice as long if
washed with Fels-Naptha. And they'll be
cleaner. whittier and sweeter after every
washing than you could get them in any
other way.
All that's required is to follow easy
directions on the back of the red and green
wrapper. Be sure and get the genuine
FelS-Naptha.
