FIRE DESTROYS
WINDOW DISPLAY
A. Scull & Co. Meet With
Some Loss.
A SERIOUS BLAZE
Head of Match Flew Off and Light
Stuff in Window Was Soon
in Big Blaze.

The pretty window decorations and
big stock displayed in the South Laur-
ell street store of A. Scull & Co., were
ruined by fire last night, and the plate
glass in the windows were broken into
thousands of pieces by the intense
heat. Fortunately the blaze was con-
fined to the big show window and the
loss is not as serious as it would other
wise have been.
The fire occurred about $50 o'clock
Mr.. Scull had been arranging the
lights in his window, and struck a
match to illuminate the gas. The head
of the match flew off as it lighted and
the little blazing bit fell in the light
paper which comprised the decorations
of the window.
Instantly the inflammable material
was in blaze and Mr.. Scull was un-
able to stamp out the fire. The flames
ran through the window rapidly, and
Mr.. Scull had but time to seize some of
the valuable instruments from the
window.
An alarm of fire was sounded from
box %, and the chemical engine re-
sponded promptly. A line of hose was
run in from the chemical, the flames
were promptly extinguished and the
danger was over. The fire did not get
back in the store at ALL
A big crowd gathered about the
store. Officer Hamlyn accompanied
the chemical engine to the fire and
officer Smith was there a moment lat
Ell. They prevented the crowd from
going into the store, and the framen
were not hampered in the least.

H|GHWAYMAN
HELD FOR COURT
Young Shoemaker Goes Back
to Jail.
SHOWS WEAKNESS.
The Boy Is Undoubtedly Afflicted
Men ally and Last Night Was
Apparently in Daze.

Robert Shoemaker the IS year old
boy who, with loaded revolver, COM
PEELED Miss Mary Newell to give him
her purse and money on Saturday
night, was before Mayor Hampton last
night for hearing.
Young Shoemaker was brought to
City Hall handcuffed, and for a time
sat in corner of the office alone He
was apparently much ill at ease, and
he said nothing to any one. There
was little expression in his face and
he constantly rolled his eyes peculiar
ly. He took absolutely no inter
sion, and he took absolutely no inter-
est in the proceedings and it is doubt
full if he heard much that was being
said
The corridors Of City Hall we're
filled with curious crowd attracted
by reason of the sensational features
attending the case.
Before the hearing, Hiram Shoe
maker, father of the boy, came in the
office, and talked with the lad. The
boy showed a flash Of intelligence
when he first noticed his father and
called out, Hello, pop. E>
When Mayor Hampton charged the
defendant and as sked him to plead to
the complaint made against, him for
highway robbery, young Shoemaker
rambled, '"Well I couldn't help it.
The colt ran across the field and I
couldn't help itP This was mumbled
in an 'undertone.
The hearing proceeded with the tes-
timony of Miss Mary Newell, the vic
tim of the robbery. The young lady
told her story frankly, and intelligent
ly, repeating the story she gave to the
Pioneer on Monday. There was other
supporting testimony and Mayor
Hampton said he would hold young
Shoemaker in $500 bail for his appear
ance at Court. a
1t was not deemed wise to provide
bail at this time, and the young man
was sent back to Jail.

:reasing use for this up-to-date mode
Of locomotion And just here it may
be noted that for all that our army
may be trifle behind the military es-
tablishments of some foreign powers
in the use it has made OF the auto
mobile, no such disparaging compari-
son is possible in the case of Uncle
Sans navy. The latter is quite
abreast any other nation ia the uses
that have been found for the self-pro-
PEELED vehicles.
AS may readily be surmised, the
chief sphere of usefulness for motor
cars in the navy service lies in the
assistance they can render at shore
stations, such as navy yards, and at
the naval workshops which have to
do with supplying the ships with
guns and ammunition and other in
dispensible classes of supplies. The
best evidence of what these new help
ers can accomplish in this way is
to be had at the United States naval
gun factory, the big Industrial plant
which manufactures all the heavy
guns for our armorclads. Here four
electric trucks of varying capacities
are in constant service. each perform
ing the work of not less than half a
dozen horse-drawn carts. Indeed,
these four trucks perform the entire
work of transferring from shop to
shop all the material of every descrip-
tion entering into the manufacture Of
the big guns.
One of these trucks has a capacity
OF 1000 pounds; a second is capable
OF carrying $500 pounds; the third
can transport two tons, and the fourth,
designed for the heaviest class Of
work, is capable of toting around a
tidy five tons. These horseless trucks
can travel with maximum load at 1S

TruthfulneSS of Grace

The financial difficulties which a
few years ago reduced Mrs. Carewe
and her daughter Grace to the slen-
derest of incomes have but served to
bring out their gifts and graces-so
say all of their friends.
Mrs. Carewe has developed a per-
feet genius for making over" dresses,
and Grace-well, perhaps her real
fiber shows itself in the sweetness
with which she wears the made-over
things. For it might be rather diff
cult for a pretty young girl to wear
the same dresses. year after year, in
a circle of girl friends not obliged to
economize-and to do 1t gracefully.
Last summer the Carewes were
with some friends in one of those
summer camps where you "go back to
nature" says the Youths Compan-
ion. Nobody thinks about dress there,
and the functions" are all impromptu
and make small demands on the ward
