PREsQUE ISLE FIRE SWEPT
More Than 100 Buildings Gone at
100000 Loss.
One Thousand Villagers Rendered
Homeless-Potato Storehouses
and Churches Burned.

Pressure Isle, Me.-Fire swept me-
quarter of this village, burning 100
dwelling houses, ten potato store
houses, the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way station, the Congregational
Church and Masonic Hall. The ag-
gregate loss is estimated at $500, 600.
The residences burned included many
of the best In the village, although
the greater number were of the poor
er sort. Upward of a thousand per-
0 n were homeless.
A high wind, which prevailed all
day, is responsible largely for the
extent Of the disaster. 1t carried
blazing embers a quarter of a mile in
many cases, and new fires started af-
ter the first was we'll under way.
Among the dwelling houses burned
were those of John Brown, where the
fire started; former State Senator E.
E. Parker, Charles Richardson, First
Selectman and Representative in the
Legislature; A. E. Mcguire, M. P.
Cook, Baptist parsonage, occupied by
the Rev. E. l.. Gates, and F. B.

Among the storehouses burned
was one owned by A. M. Smith and
containing a large quantity of hard
ware, and another owned by S. L.
Black, in which there were hundreds
of bushels of potatoes. Most of the
other potato storehouses were nearly
empty.
Several persons were reported in
jured in various ways during the fire,
but there were no fatalities. Miss
Ethel Scott was hurt in an automo-

Poultry for Profit
A CHEAP TURKEY SHED.
It Costs Only 1886, But Mrs. Ports
Would Not Take 500 For If.

I built my turkey shed and the pen
for them myself. My shed is 4 feet
high at back and 6 feet at front, IL
feet long and 6 feet wide. l only
used six studdings, one at each corner
and n in middle, which took three
pieces of 2x4, n foot long, and one
piece 2x4, eighteen feet long, made
the three rafters. Four pieces 12x12
made the back and it took seven
pieces 12x12 to cover and six pieces
12x12 to owe the ends.
I put the number on back and ton
straight SO it could be easily taken
of and used. I lapned the roof just
enough to keep it from leaking, left
no cracks for the wind to come
through in back and ends. The high
and south side / left open, except one
piece at top to which fastened a
drop door of net wire. I began at
each end of the house and ran five.
foot wire fence with a ~twelve-inch
base plank and made a little yard
about tw~enty-four feet square. 1
made a gate and a little slide door
for the little chicks to go in and out
at.
I bought my lumber delivered at
s1.25 a hundred and the whole thing
cost M s3.85. l would not do with
out 1t for a hundred dollars.
/ raise as many chickens in winter
as / do in summer. / make small

the shed and when a hen matches l
put her in n of the coops and keep
her there for several days. If it Is
bright and warm I let her out in the
pen. When they are old enough I
let out of pen each day, but put them
in coops at night; when it Is cold
and rainy / keep the hen in coop all
the time and the little chicks have
the whole shed and pen to run under.
Later In the season l use the pen
for setting my turkeys in. I fix nest,
put turkey on, put plenty of water
and feed, and there is always a dust
bath ready for her under the dry
shed, SO / am never afraid of her
going back to her old nest or a stray
dog getting to her. After she matches
[ just let her come off in the pen
when she gets ready. When the little
mes are stout enough I let the hen
put every pretty day after the dew
iries off, but make them roost under
she'd every night until they are large
enough to fly up to the roost.-Mrs.

The improper selection of food

SUICIDE RECALLED
Suit of the Pennsylvania Sugar Com

Stopped in United States Court
When Restitution is Made.

New York City.-Two million dol.
lars in cash, the return of $7,000,0 900
par value of securities held as collat-
eral, and the cancellation of a loan of
S~1,250,0O0 more was the price which
the American Sugar Refining Com
pany agreed to pay in settlement of
the suit brought against it by the
Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Com
pany under the Sherman Antitrust
act.
The suit was brought to recover
$50, 900, 900, being the triple damages
allowed by the statute, on the charge
that the Sugar Trust, its counsel,
John E. Parsons, and Gustav Kissell,
a broker, had %conspired to wreck the
Pennsylvania Company through the
medium of a we'll concealed loan
deal. The case has been IN trial be-
fore Judge Holt, in the United States
District Court for two weeks, but was
stopped suddenly when the lawyers
got together for a final settlement.
This settlement of the Pennsylva-
mia Sugar Refining Company's suit
comes Immediately on top of the pay
ment by the Sugar Trust to the Uni
led States Government of 100000
In cash as the amount out of which
the United States had been cheated

on the sugar weighing piers in
Brooklyn.

pany, of Philadelphia, whose presi-
dent, Frank Nipple, committed sui
eide when the exposure INT The
suit just settled was instituted
through the Real Estate Trust Com
pany as holder of large amounts of
the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining
Company's securities, although it was
brought in the name of the corpora
ton.
In 1903 Segal built the new plant
of the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining
Company, and then, after tying up
$780, 900 out of $5,000,000 of it's
stock in a voting trust, wanted to
borrow S~1,25O,000 for some of his
ventures and pledged this stock along
with a big block of the concerns
bonds and various other collateral as
security for the loan. Gustav. Kissell
asked that during the tendency of
the loan the holder of the collateral
should name the directors of Segal's
sugar company.
Kissell was acting under the ex-
plicit authorization of the Sugar
Trust; he named as directors himself
and three clerks, who voted not to
open the plant until the loan was
paid. The plant was accordingly
locked up, and has remained SC ever
since.

There should be several nest boxes
provided for each pen, to avoid hens
crowding into one nest and breaking
eggs. Boxes should be eighteen
inches square and ten to twelve inches
deep, supplied with clean nest ma

them. Across middle of pens boards
should be placed to the height of If
teen inches, and to the front, litter
placed to scatter small grain to in
