DISASTROUS FIRE At SCRANTON.
Mr. WiDsloH Eflghts Store and Dwell
Ing Tolaly Destroyed.

Florence, February S:-Theue
was a very disastrous fire at
Scranton, tTenty.three miles
south of this city, at about 4
o'clock this morning, in which
Mr. Winslow Wright, one of the
largest merchants of that place
and section, lost heavily. His
large brick store,stock of goods,
dwelling and its contents, to-
gether with the banking furni.
ture and fixtures of the Bank of
Scranton, which was, located in
the second floor of the Wright
stores. were completely destroy
ed.
Mr. Wright carried a very
large stock of merchandise, es-
timated at $4,000 to $4,000, on
which he carried not a dollar of
insurance, so it is reported. The
store buildings were valued at
about $4,000 and the dwelling
and contents at about $4,000.
The property of the bank was
valued at about $1,000, making
a total value of property de-
stroyed at about $4,000 or $685.
0OO,with not a cent of insurance.
1t is now thought that the build
ing was broken into and robbed
early last night and that to hide
the robbery the building was set
on fire, making it a complete
job.
Mr. Wright's home was within
a few feet CT the store, and the
wind, blowing from the north,
famed the flames directly to
the dwelling. Owing to the fact
that Scranton is small place,
the citizens had to be aroused
before any effort was made to
check the flames, hence nothing
could be done except to stand
and watch the property burn

THURSDAY, FEB. II, 1909.

In the face Of such a calamity
as befel Mr. Wlnslow Wright, Il
seems like empty platitude to Say
s'I am sorry for you Expres'
sions of sympathy are very cheap
and ofttimes come only from the
lips. Yet We canno. refrain from
expressing how sdeeply we feel for
the man whom We esteem as d
friend and whose pluck, energy
and industry had built up his
personal fortunes and at the same
time exercised a large influence in
the upbuildiug of bis town and
community. For a man to see
swept away before his eyes the
property that represented the hard
work and earnings of lifetime
is pathetic almost beyond express
sion and we cannot find words to
convey our sympathy. Still more
difficult is the task of picturing
the e1ecrable scoundrel who would
first rob his fellow.man and then
to cover up his tracks commit the
baser crime of wantonlv destroying
all that his victim had and en-
dangering the lives of him and
his family. And yet, If We are
rightly informed, there walks the
earth such black hearted villain.
Such a creature, his guilt estab-
,lished, should receive short shrift
at the end of rope. A human
-fend at large is a far greater
menace to society than mad dog.

remain in d0tu quo until Presl.

reported also that Mr. Taft has
intilnated that he woald not

Senator Frank B Gary delivered
his maiden speech i'll the United
States Senate Monday. The Sen
atorial body was in executive ses-
sicu, having under consideration
TIE question Of confirmation Of
Crum's nomination for re-appoint-
meet as collector of the port Of
Charleston. The Democratic minor
ity, led By Senator Tillman, have at
tempted BY flibustering tactics
to defer the Crum matter until
Roosevelt's term has expired in
the hope that President Taft will
not follow the example of his
predecessor in forcing the negro
on an unwilling community. Sen
ater Gary spoke on the subject
at issue and his speech is said
to have been conservative, logical
aud convincing, eliciting congrat-
ulations from both Democratic
and Republican Senators.

HINTS TO HoUsEKEEPERs

Always keep all the ole gloves that
the men of the house cast off. In them
you may do all the rough work of the
house, such as blacking the stove,
sweeping, busting, etc, without rough
ening the hands.
If hot bread is cut with a heated
knife it will not be soggy; this applies
to cake as well.
Rose geranium leaves when dried
make as good filling for sachet bags
and cushions as when rose leaves are
used.
A cup of hot water a half hour be-
fore breakfast every morning will cure
dyspepsia and indigestion.
On wash day tie the soap in a small
sack of loosely woven material, and
one will never have bits of soap on
the clothes.
A flannel dipped into boiling water
and sprinkled with turpentine and laid
on the chest will relieve cold and
hoarseness.
The color in straw mating can be
restored. even when quite badly faded,
by washing with a strong solution of
common baking soda.
To prevent glassware from being
easily broken, put in a kettle of cold
water and bring it gradually to a boil
then remove from the fire and let it
cool in the water. This is a good way
to tougher lamp chimneys before they
are used.

THE EXPANSIVE GIRL

Summer is a dangerous time for the
expansive girl. She has never adopted
the habit of reserve, and does not give
a thought to the impression she makes
on strangers.
It is never good thing to take the
world into our confidence 40 much.
Remember that "in the company oi
strangers silence is safe"
So when you go off on your vacation
this year cut out personalities If pos
sible You will have just as good
time-and a safer. Do not, because
YOU are attracted to another girl, tell
her things about yourself and your
family that you may bitterly repent
later.
1t is no ones business how much
your father Is worth or whether your
parents do or do not 1--we together. the
fact that you bought the frock the
stranger admired at sale for next TO
nothing should be kept to yourself.
The other girl win think you an idiot
for not letting your clothes live up to
their "air."
If you are given to expansiveness re-
member that a slip of the foot stands
lot more chance of being mended than
a slip OF the tongue.
Keep not only your own affairs to
yourself, but do not grow expansive
with a new friend at the expense or
other guests in the hotel. There Is not
one as plausible or more willing to
swear secrecy than the confirmed mis-
chief maker.
Do not feel it necessary to tell your
hearts secrets to the girl you have
just met. Even though you think she
does not know the man who has treated
you shabbily, or whom you have loved
unasked for years, remember that the
world is small. If she does not already
know him he may be making love to
her next week.
Pray do not be expansive about your
health This is a common fault. Wo-
men will give to strangers detailed de-
scriptions of their aches and pains that
nothing would induce them to reveal to
older friends.
Above all, do not be expansive about
another's secrets. Talk of your own
affairs if you must, but spare your
helpless friends.
