on Child Street Friday Evening Gives
Department Long Run.

An alarm from box 81 at Stapleton.
Child street, at 1907 Friday evening,
called out the fire department to what
The trouble was at the house at 90
Child street, owned by Edward E. Alb
bolt and occupied by A. w. Dreamer
an employe at the Eaton shoe factory.
The fire originated in a closet in a
small entry between the kitchen and
the stable and got quite start, the
family having retired for the nigh.
Mr. Dreamer was asleep and the fire
was discovered by his wife, who heard
the cracking of the flames. The fire
department responded promptly and
the fire was extinguished by chemi-
calls without any water being put on
by the hose. The about was sounded
at 1921.
The origin OF the fire is unknown
There was quite an amount of paper in
the closet. which aided the blaze III
gaining Roadway, and the interior OF
the closet was pretty thoroughly
burned. The fire was on the point OF
breaking through the woodwork of the
closet and in d few moments more
would have assured serious proper
tons. The smoke found it's way to all
parts of the house and there will be
some loss on account of the fire, but as
Mr.. Abbott was out of town last night
whether or not he carried insurance
was not ascertained
Mr.. Creamer did not think last nigh,
that he had sustained any appreciate
loss, but whatever there may be is
covered by insurance in a Waldoboro
agency.

ETANE you ever sat under the benign
IL shade Of Washingtuns wishing
tree?
1t has been one of the unique at.
fractions OF Lafayette park for. 10,
these many years. II is not described
in the official guide books, but it ia
there just the same, and has been ever
since the square was laid out-in the

chestnut, although it has grown out of
It's dwartness to great extent 1t
is scion of the famous wishing tree
in Hyde park, London. 1t is located
Immediately west of the Jackson
statue, about 25 feet, and is in full
sight of all the windows on the north
side of the White House.
The wishing tree, as its name indi.
Gates, possesses rare powers, or at
least it is supposed to, in that every
wish that is made under its branches
comes true some time or other Gen.
orally it is other, but that does not
seriously interfere with tho reputation
of the tree.

GIBSON SETS NEW RECORD PHILADELPHIA oUTFlELOEp
Pttsburg Backstop Exceeds Charley
Zimmer's Old Mark for Con.
secutIve Work

Catcher Hack" Gibson Of the Pitts
burg Pirates has exceeded the wonder
tul record made by Charley thinner
! who caught III consecutive games
during the season of 1890.
II is much harder now to make
such record than ever before. as the
game has changed and the wear and
tear on catcher is harder, especially
when one considers the fact that the
team he has been catching for has
been in the lead for so long.
1t was on May 3 that Gibson took IA
rest, just for one day, when O'Connor
relieved him. He then started in to
work again, and every da" since he
has been seen behind the bat for the
Pirates
The nearest any catcher has ever
come TO these two records is that of
FIint, who caught 1870 out of l2I games
while member Of the Chicago team
~ 1871 Mcclure. now managing
Cleveland, caught 1872 games during
he season of 1896, while King Of the
champion Cubs caught the same mum.
Der as Flint in 1903 This leaves Gib.
son with the record in major leagues
with liD games which ne caught last
season.
The greatest number Of games eyer
caught during ono season was made
by Bel y. who caught l55 games while
a member Of the san Francisco team
OF the Pacific Coast league.

Wishing Tree Where Wishes Come True

There We're more believers in the
tree some years ago than there are
now, but that does not mean that
there are not q great many who be.
ieye in u today Nor is the number
by any means confined to the old
'mamJiCs. "auntios' and other black
folk 'liuc,yniuo per cent. of the
persons who pass under the tree on
their way through the square probably
never heard or read of it. But there
are others. and in this case there are
q great many others.
The most marvellous stories are told
about the tree, and many of the
stories have believers. Also many of
stories have some element of truth
about them, In many cases II is a
great deal Of story and very min
ute particle Of truth But it IS be.
cause there is some truth in them
that the tree has such clientele.
Faith does not cure all the Ills that
1t is asked to cure, but its followers
are sure that ii cures in some In.
stances. Hence there are faith cures
The thousands of wishes that are
made under the wishing tree may end
up in only one coming true, but the
wisher who has been rewarded by its
favor never loses an opportunity to
sing its prasscs, and that is what
makes the wishing tree so much more
famous than any of the other trees
that are in the same parE.
