Poor Return for Hospitality.

Two women had descended the
steps OF a house whose owner was
giving an afternoon tea Vehicles
spun up to the curb or away from II,
and through the ever opening door
passersby could get a glimpse OF rose
shaded lights and hear the tinkle OF
music But the two women had
walked, and at almost their first step
away from the house OF festivity the
one with the extra thin voice that
foreigners like to Judge US all by said:
Did you notice that lamp shade?
Did you notice IL? Where on earth do
you suppose she raked up thing like
that? l never saw such a fool shade
In all the days OF my life"
II was too taken up with the waist
she had on TO have eyes for anything
else. OF all the silly buds ever saw,
that waist was the limit. You could
see II was made over and botohed at
that. and az for the skirt"
And by that time the pair, who had
accepted the hospitality OF q woman
unwise enough to admit them to her
home, had passed beyond the hearing
of the person behind.

Attorney General Bird calls atten-
tion to the provisions of a bill intro
duced by Senator Kingman of Battle
Creek, the home of the manufacturers
OF threshing machines. The bill
grants to the operator of threshing
machines the right to use the roads of
the state with the same privilege as
are granted other vehicles. with
engines weighing not to exceed 121z
tons. The present law limits the
weight to six tons. 1t is pointed out
that townships. in order--to avoid pay
ing damages. will have to strengthen
all their bridges and culverts, which
would total considerable sum of ''ex-
pense. for the benefit of the threshing
machine men.

The spring elections In Washtenaw
county will be enlivensd by q local
option battle. There has been a
warm fight, In which SGT original sign
ers OF local option petitions, after
vainly striving TO get the board Of
supervisors to recognize their counter
petition, after they had turned wet"
took the matter to the circuit court
and asked a mandamus TO compel the
board to reconvene and consider their
counter petition, Judge Kline this
morning filed his petition. claiming
that as the board had acted upon the
petitions, he was constrained to hold
such action final He therefore de-
MED the mandamus and discharged
the order to show cause. In closing,
Judge Kline summed the present sit
uation prevailing all over the state,
as follows:
There can be no denial OF the fact
that public sentiment and conscience
upon the subject of temperance have
been deeply aroused through alleged
misconduct of certain liquor dealers.
Such misconduct has seriously injured
other parties engaged in the same
business who strive to have the law
obeyed.
81 am not responsible for the en-
sctment Of these laws, but they exist,
and there is no excuse for their vio-
lation. For those engaged in that
business there is but one safe course,
to obey the law or quit the business"

as stunning blow to its employees who

THE BATTLE CREEK
FIRES |NCEND|ARY
INVESTIGATING THE BURNING
OF THE HASKELL HOME
FOR ORPHANS.
A MYSTERIOUS PROWLER
Belief That the Building Was Fired
by An IncendIary Is Held by the
Adventlsts Generally.

Investigation of the fire which de-
stroyed the Haskell Home for Or
phans, in Battle Greek, and cost the
lives OF Lena McClevy, Cecil COutant
and George Goodenow, has begun un-
der the leadership of Fire Chief
Weeks and Chief Of Police harrington.
The latter is working on the theory
Of incendiarism the former is in
clined TO think the cause was acct
dent. even though beyond explanation.
Mrs. r. s. owen, wife OF the home
superintendent, gave the police a tip
when she mentioned the fact that
few nights previous to the fire she
heard man prowling around the low
er floors. She called her husband,
but the stranger disappeared before
Owen reached the scene. Not sus-
pectins a firebug or a burglar the
superintendent did not hurry.
The ruins Will be guarded from now
on. and sightseers kept from the site,
the police wishing nothing to be dis
turbed until a more thorough search
for bodies is made. Fire Chief Weeks
believes the victims were inciner-
ated, and that exhaustive digging will
bring no results.
That the building was fired by an
incendiary is the general belief OF
the Adventists and light is desired on
the cause of this tragedy-and of the
other unexplained disasters which
have followed west side institutions
connected at one time with the
Seventh Day Adventist church. With
out positive proof, save in two in
stances, II is believed that most Of
these fires which have caused a prop
erty loss of nearly 100000 were
incendiary. The confession of a wo-
man. matter Of record with santa
rum officials, that was withheld from
general publicity enables the destruc-
ton Of the Sanitarium Health Food
plant. July 10. 1898, to be officially
rated as the work Of an incendiary.
Evidence at the coroner's inquest
following the burning OF the SAM
tarium stables, May IS. 1909, also de-
veloped a clear case OF incendiarism.
Arrests were made in this instance
but the prosecutions were not pushed
with any great real. Circumstantial
evidence suggested, almost to a GER
tainty, that the Review and Herald
Ere. Dec. 80. 1902. was caused by an
incendiary, though no public investi-
cation OF this 100000 blaze was ever
made. The Adventist church was
openly gratifed by the Review and
Herald's destruction, for 1t was fol-
lowed by the evacuation OF Battle
Creek by the greater majority OF the
Adventist printers. editors and cleo
trotypers. the exodus that Mother FL
len G. White had pleaded for for
many years.
