DOMESTIC CHEESE

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-About 1000
imported empty Camembert cheese
boxes. bearing the names OF other
aristocrauc French cheeses. are on
their way to join their destined
cheeses in this country.
Cheese experts say that the mar
riage OF high-sounding foreign boxes
and plain cheeses OF American make
has been going on for years. The
importation of-empty boxes and labels
ID quite a thriving industry. IL has
grown up, so little disturbed. the
cheese dealers say. that now the i'm
porters do not bother to bring In
boxes and the labels in separate par
cells, but send them through, all past.
ed together. and ready to use, which
saves the inland makers Of so-cailed
imported cheese a lot Of trouble.

Jacob LANCER was allowed $500 dam
ages by Justice OFT In his case against
the ID. U. r. for Injuries inflicted by
Mills Beech. Beech is a motorman
or the Fourteenth line and demanded
that LANCER ride inside the car and
not on the front platform. LANCER re-
piled that the car was so crowded he
could not get inside. In the scuffle
that ensued, the motorman grabbed
LANCER and beat him about the body
with controller lever. Mrs. LANCER,
coming to the assistance OF her hus-
band, received severe blow on the
arm. The trouble occurred last July.
Mrs. LANCER will start proceedings
against the ID. u. r. on similar grounds

For the second time in less than
year and the third time within four
years, the Partisan Steam Laundry,
at Grand River-ave. and Washington
boulevard, was destroyed by fire early
Wednesday morning. The loss is esti-
mated at less than $4,000.
The fire was caused by the wood
work being set ablaze from stove In
the kitchen OF John Ternes' European
restaurant, In the northwest corner
or the building.
Engine Co. No. 3 was first on the
scene In response TO the alarm. The
fire was then confined to the restaur-
ant, apparently, but within five min
utes the entire building, above the
frat floor. was in flames and the de-
partment realized halt had 4 Stud
born fight on its hands.
Immediately on his arrival, CHIEF
Frederick turned in a general alarm,
which brought out every piece of APP
i paratus in the downtown district. and
4 the two fire boats. Night Supt. OF Pc
| lice Mack personally took charge OF
4 the work of keeping the crowd back.
Soon after the firemen began WORK
there were two loud explosions in
4 quick succession, which blew out ali
\ the windows in the front OF the buil0-
4 ing and caused the fire to rage with
greater fury than ever. 1t was with
difficulty the firemen prevented the
flames from leaping across the street
and setting fire to neighboring build
ings. After several hours hard work
4 the department got the blaze under
4 control. but practically the entire
7 building above the main floor had been
! Quilted.
President Martin Kelly was early
I on the scene and in attempting to get
7 near view of the fire ran INTO Chief
4 Broderick, who forcibly put him out
side the fire lines. Mr. Kelly protest.
! ed, but to no avail.
The Partisan Laundry was last WIS.,
iteu by fire March Z, 1907. when u
loss reached $145, 900, At that time the
fire originated on the fifth floor.
BY peculiar coincidence, Bal
Clark OF No. 203 Fischer-ave., was .-a
first to turn In the alarm at both of The
fires that have destroyed the Partisan
j laundry In the past year. On the o.
n casion of the first fire he was manager
4 of the Washington Roller rink. When
he saw smoke issuing from the build
Ing he ran to the nearest alarm boz
and pulled It, Tuesday night, by g
y strange turn Of fate. he was standing
In the Grand restaurant on Crane
Riverave., near the laundry, when nc
heard the explosion in the Partisan
building and saw the flames shoot p
He could scarcely believe his eyes
but as soon as he made sure thai
4 he was not dreaming he hurried TO 9
box and was again the first to give
the alarm.
THE patrons of the laundry will
\ never know there has been a fire. sc
far as their service Is concerned,

n urer of the Partisan Laundry Co. 'In
