(which h, was offering, discovered that

JERSEY CITY HAS BIG BLAZE
Engines Are Sent Over From
New York City.
Big Buildings Are Reduced to Ashes
With Great Rapidity on Account OF
the Inhammable Nature of Their
Contents-Burning Cork Scatters
the Fire-Tenement Dwellers Are
Driven to the Streets.

New York Especially Fire in the
warehouse division of Jersey City caused
damage estimated at $l,OOO,0O0. Chief
Croker and five engines from New YORK
hurried across the Hudson to aid the
Jersey firemen and dynamite was used
frequently.
The fire started in the plant of Trus-
low & Fulle, manufacturers of cork prod.
ucts, at Washington and Morgan steets
The flaming light cork was carried by the
wind and ignited the plant of the Riegel
Sack Company across the street.
A few minutes later the Independent
Baking Powder Works were burning.
Then working up Washington street, the
fire attacked the w. Amos & Co. spike
works and the Butler Bros. notion ware
house.
The entire Jersey City fire department
was on the scene at this stage, and the
baking powder plant was demolished with
dynamite. But as the flames continued
to spread aid was summoned from New
York, and the two departments worked
together.
The vicinity is fringed with old wood
en- tenement houses, occupied mainly by
Polak dock laborers and their families.
and thousands poured into the streets,
wailing and dragging their belongings.
Ihe streets were soon congested with
furniture and other household articles,
seriously hampering the firemen and af.
fording loot for hoodlums.
Only on serious accident was reported.
The victim was Spencer Babcock, a fire.
man, who was knocked unconscious by a
live wire.

enraged by story which appeared in n
Reno paper on the selection of new

Montrose said he did not, but that if
he had he would not be afraid to ac.
knowledge it. Dickerson is said TO have
made mnge at Montrose, his fist graz
ing the editors cheek. Montrose, catch
ing the Governor by the throat, bore him
backward, also delivering a stiff body
blow. A friend separated them. Dicker-
son refused to leave and Montrose started
to call an officer by telephone. Dieker

President Taft has signed orders
which provide for the further with.
drawal of coal lands from entry and
appropriation for mining purposes.
The aggregate of such Withdrawals
now reaches over 71.50O.OO0 acres.
This means that the enormous area in
question is to be preserved by the gov
eminent for disposition in the future
nnd that It is not to fall into the hands
of grasping monopolists, says Troy
Times. Coal lands may be open to ag-
ricultural entry, but the rich deposits
underneath are to remain public prop
erty, subject to such arrangement as
may be made in the general interest.

Waterbury Girl Yawns and Jaws Re

Waterbury Especially Physicians are

Cherry street, whose jaw is set so tight
she cannot close it. She is in a partially
comatose state, following Mysteries and

EPIDEMIC OF CHOLERA
IN SOUTHERN ITALY
Thousands of People Fleeing
From the Pest.
CARRYING THE DREADED GERMS.
The Pope Orders That the Lazaretto
of Santa Marta, Built Inside the
Vatican BY Pope Leo, Be Prepared
for Emergency-Priests Instructed
to Aid Civil Authorities.

Bari, Italy Especially The epidemic
of cholera, which has broken out in
Southern Italy, is steadily showing an in.
crease in the districts affected, particular
ly in the town of Trani, where the mum.
Der of deaths already is more than 80.
The latest official report gave 20 deaths
at Trani, showing the rapidity with
which the disease is increasing there. The
epidemic is of virulent type and the
death rate Is high.
Even graver danger is anticipated from
the flying population of the infected dis
tricts, who may bear the germs of the
disease to regions not yet involved. Trani
seems almost deserted as a result of the
panic, 10000 of the residents, fully one
half of the population, having fled the
town. Fully as many have escaped from
the island town of Barletta.
Rome Especially .-Rumors that the epi-
demic of cholera, which has broken out
in Apulia, had spread to Rome are en-
phatically denied. There have been no
cases here and the general health condi-
tions in Rome are excellent, better than
at any time during the past 10 years.
Although the danger of infection is not
felt here, the Pope ordered the Lazaretto
of Santa Marta, built inside the Vatican
by Pope Leo in 1885, during the great
cholera epidemic at Naples, but never
used because of the absence of cholera
patients, made ready for any emergency.
The hospital, instead, has been employed
to shelter pilgrims from all countries, in
cluding parties of American sailors who
have visited Rome from American war
ships lying in Italian ports.
The influence of the church is to be
used to assist the civil authorities in
fighting the epidemic the clergy having
been instructed to use all means to en-
force compliance with the sanitary regu'
lations on the part of their parishioners.
No final decision has been taken regard
Ing the proposed departure OF King Vic
tor for the cholera region. The King, it
is said has determined to proceed person
ally to the scene if conditions become
more serious, in which case Queen Helena,
it is said, will insist upon accompanying
him.

couldn't let him have them. We had
reached the limit of our capacity. That was the
cause of the merger of the Mitchell Motor Car
Co. with the Mitchell & Lewis Co., Ltd, which
concern had likewise been unable to fulfill its
orders. We felt that the two companies with
their combined capital and facilities could more
readily satisfy the public clamor than by operat-
ing separately. Moreover, it permitted us to
manufacture own bodies. springs, castings
etc., so that every solitary part of the Mitchell
could be turned out of the raw material by
our own employees and under our direct personal
supervision.
We began business by making
a LOW-COST, HIGH-CLASS
car. We have never changed our policy.
We only want legitimate proht-not 100, $50 or
800 per cent. We don't believe in making the
public stand the cost of every improvement or
development. 1t is our duty to progress. We
are bidding for public favor and we manufacture
our goods with the expectation that they will not
only meet favor but hold it year after year. The
