GOLD DUST Cleans
Everything and Injuries Nothing


The beauty Of GOLD DUST Is that it cleanses
thoroughly without the least danger Of injury
There are many good cleaners on the market
which do the work quickly and well, but they
contain abrasive matter, and in time will wear
through brass, thing, porcelain tubs and bowls
and all highly polished surfaces.
GOLD DUST does the work, does it BETTER
and does not wear away the surface The safety
and surety Of GOLD DUST has been proven by

$4,000 Residence in
Course Of Construction
Burned 10 Ground.
WHITEHEAD s HOAG
FIRM MEMBERS PROPERTY
Recent Theft of Tools Leads to
Police Theory of In
cendiarism.

Fire, believed to have been of incen-
diary origin, destroyed $4,000 house
in the course OF construction at Bal
lantine parkway and Lake street early
today. The house was being built by
Benjamin S. Whitehead, of Whitehead
& Hoag, for his son Raymond. 1t was
nearing completion and was to have
been occupied in the fall.
Alexander Van Houten, the watch
man employed to guard the house at
night, recently arretsed near 1t two tool
thieves. One of them was sentenced to
the penitentiary for seven years and
the other, for lack of definite evidence,
escaped with a jail term of thirty days
Both Captain Martin, of the Salvage
Corps, who reached the burning build
ing in the automobile wagon before the
firemen, and the police who are investi-
eating the case believe that no other
theory than that of incendiarism can
stand
Waterman Discovers Fire.
Van Houten is employed by the car
penter at work on the house and four
bthers in the neighborhood to watch
their tools, which were being stolen
with great regularity, and was attract
cu Dy d cIdChliuS SOunu dt A.oU d. Ill
He ran to the Whitehead house and
found the rear of it to be in flames.
The nearest alarm, box 459, was four
blocks away. and when Van Houten
again reached the burning building,
after turning in an alarm, he saw that
the fire had advanced SO rapidly that
the roof was caving in.
By the time firemen reached the
i n II, <<..fs.
were confined to saving other buildings
in the neighborhood. The last engine
did not leave the scene until 6 o'clock
this mornin-.
The house which was destroyed was
situated in one of the most fashionable
residential districts of the city. Di
rectly across the street Mr.. Whitehead
is building a house for his daughter,
Miss Helen Whitehead, who is TO be
married to Roy Anthony in the fall.
The houses were alike. Mrs. White
head said today that the house in
tended for her son Raymond would be
rebuilt at once.
May Be Work of Tramps.
While the watchman is convinced
that the house was deliberately set on
6re by tramps or others who are under
suspicion, he admits faint probability
that the blaze was caused by accident.
Workmen burned paper in Lake street
during the afternoon, and Van Buren,
says spark from this blaze might
have been smouldering in the unfin-
ished house all night With this possi-
bility eliminated, nothing else but the
match of an incendiary can explain the
fire.
There had been no fire in the build
ing for any purpose, and since the
workmen left the place late in the aft
ernoon no one was supposed to have
been in it but the watchman. On his
round of inspection half hour before
lis discovery of the fire, Van Houten
found nothing wrong. Yet when he
had reached the house on his next tour
the blaze had gained such headway
that the house was already threat
ened.

d0nmenf of Canal.

A meeting of the Fourth Ward I'M
provement Association was held in its
headquarters in Clinton street last
night to consider the rental conditions
in the market and along the walk out
side and In the country market and
also to consider the probable abandon
ment of the Morris canal Some stand
owners in the market, were present by
invitation, but none of them spoke. 1t
was thought by outside property
owners that they were silent by legal
advice, and If rents are raised a con-
test may be made in court.
The municipal affairs committee
made a typewriter report on the his
tory of the market and the existing
conditions. 1t was stated in the report
that in the last fiscal year the total
market receipts were $52, ,476.11, the
largest ever received for rentals of
stands. and the receipts of the country
market were $4,000 more than in the
previous year, an increase of 80 per
cent. Real estate values In Commerce,
Broad and other streets increased 80
per cent. inA twenty-five years, and
rents in proportion, but this was not
true of Centre Market, which should be
supported from rentals.
Adopt Resolution.
The report asserted that a stand
owner can get a bonus of $1,000 to
1880 for his stand If he sells it, The
market cost the city $9,66s last year
Rents of stands have been raised only
once in twenty-five years, and then
only 10 per cent. in 1905. The com
mittee presented these resolutions,
which were adopted, and will be sent to
Common Council and its market COM
mittee:
Whereas, The rentals for privileges,
SO offered to said stand owners have
not been increased fin proportion to
other values:
Resolved, That the Common Coun-
ellis attention be called to the con-
ditions and requested to raise these
rentals at least 100 per cent: and be it
further
! sResolved, That 1t is the opipiona-of
this association that in View Of the
great enhancement in values of the
present market site, that said plot be
vacated and sold and said market
transferred to a less costly site"
Former Sheriff In Favor.
It vi iiitl SoiOIill NCOi Se NhtQc, ".
Irving Cannon and James McCurdy
supported the resolutions In speeches.
The opening of Lawrence street
under the Newark and New York
branch of the Central railroad was dis
cussed, and strongly favored. A conf
mittee of five, with C. Irving, chair
man. was appointed to go before the
street committee of the Board of
Works with five members of the asso-
citation and ask for the opening of
Lawrence street as desired by property
owners. The latter. whose property de-
creased in value when the street was
closed. have not received any damages.
The loss in ratables to the city has
been upward of $1,000, 900. 1t would cost
the city $4,000 to cut the street under
the Central elevated tracks.
