THE cuRFEW AT cHERTsEY
Romantic Association of a Pretty Eng
Iish Village with the Sun
down Bell.

At sunGown the little Surrey village
of Chertsey will re-echo to the toll
ing of the curfew bell. which, in &C
cordance with ancient custom. is
sounded every evening from Septem-
Der 20 to March 25.
It's appropriate that Chertsey
should thus maintain the custom, for
the village has interesting "curfew'
associations. The curfew bell which
hung in Chertsey abbey tolled for the
funeral of Henry VI. murdered in the
Tower of London and hurried to
Chertsey to be buried without priest
clerk. torch or taper, singing or say
ing"
The abbey was also the scene OF
the romantic legend which relates
how Blanche Heriot, to save her
lover Neville, nephew of Warwick the
Kingmaker, condemned to die at sun
down. climbed the curfew tower and
held the clapper of the great bell. The
story, always popular locally, attained
wide fame when Mr.. Clifford Harrison
embodied 1t in his poem The Legend
Of Chertsey" Since then reciters' au
diences have probably lad their ill OF

Buy Few Things at Time.

Middle class women buy too many
clothes ct one time, Consequently, as
styles change rapidly. they never can
be really quite in STYLE" and are ever
astingly compelled to make over the
large supply they have on hand
Allured by the bargain counters they
keep on buying because thing is
cheap,
How much more sensible it would be
to buy fewer things and wear them
out, and then have absolutely fresh,
stylish ones as the fashions changed?
A large wardrobe of many gowns
and its accompaniments always re-
quires vast amount of time to even
care for properly, and unless one
keeps a maid, the fewer and simpler
the clothes the happier the woman

COMBINES SCARF AND MUFF
Novel Idea That Has Many Good
Points FashionabIes Have Been
Quick to See.

A novel combination of scarf and
muff is made of bands of chiffon, quill
ings of satin and strips of fur. 1t wraps
the body in shawl fashion, and just
at the waist line the width is gathered
in under two long buckles.
From this point two long ends fall
almost to the hem of a skirt Buckles
hold in the lower edges of each side,
and heavy fringe hangs from these.
Thus far this is beautiful shoulder
scarf. But when the weather is cold
and the hands of the owner need the
comfortable warmth of muff, it is
there for the hooking The lower ends
are doubled up and hooked under the
upper buckles. A fringed muff is the
result. The combination is clever and
pleasing.

James Horan and between twenty
five and thirty of his fremen were
killed and forty others were injured
Thursday in fire which had caused
81, 500, 900 damage in Chicago's stock
yard.
A wooden canopy fell from the
beef house of Morris & Co., where
the fire started carrying with it tons
of red-hot bricks and debris upon
two companies of fremen and the
Chief, crushing them to death and
incasing their. bodies in a veritable
furnace, into which their comrades
were unable to dig for several hours,
so that practically all who were not
killed outright when the walls fell
were roasted to death before help
could come to them.

SOME LATHAM
REQUESTS PAID
Two Individual Beneficiaries
Under The Will Get
Partial Payments.

The receipt by Charles H. Hisgen,
and James Lee of three-fourths of
the amounts left to them by the late
John C. Latham, indicates an adjust
ment of the clauses in the noted will
affecting individual benefciaries.
The checks were sent by the eXecu-
tors Of the estate with the consent
of Mrs. Elsie Gaylord Latham,
widow Of the deceased.
Iti now generally understood that
Mrs. Latham has decided to abandon
her original intention to contest the
will as a whole on the ground Of the
testator's mental ineapacity and un-
due influence, but will permit the
immediate distribution Of personal
legacies, restricting her legal fight
en- the document to the validity of
certain clauses. Mr.. Latham be-
queathed Chas. H. Hisgen, his trust
ed agent here for many years,S5, 600
To James Lee, a colored family
servant, he left 81 900.
Mr.. Hisgen has received a check
for $3.50 and Lee one for $3.50.
They will receive the remainder of
the amounts due them in a short
time, it is said.
The next orders in the case will
be made early next month.

Police and Firemen Fall Into Fiery Fur
mace When Weakened Walls Col
lapse in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Dec. 23.-After an
search in the ruins of the
leather factory Of D. Friedlander,
1114-1l2O Bodine street, destroyed
by fire it is thought the number Of
firemen and policemen killed by fall
ing walls is under twenty. John c.
Baxter, chief of the Fire Depart
ment, who had a narrow escape
from death, said at 8 o'clock that
his reports show that from eleven to
fourteen fremen lost their lives. He
said, however, that his reports are
not complete. Superintendent Of
Police John Taylor believes the mum
Der Of dead will reach twenty. UI
to nine O'Clock twelve bodies had
been taken from the ruins.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian., 1910-12-24

The difficulty of determining the
number Of men killed is due to the
fact that when the catastrophe oc.
Cured a general alarm was sent in
for ambulances and police patrol
wagons, and the injured and dead
were taken to widely scattered hos
pitals and other places.
Fireman Glazier. who was pinned
under the debris, was rescued after
having been held helpless by heavy
timbers for thirteen hours. He was
unconscious and was rushed to q
hospital. There the doctors said he
could not live. The latest police re.
port said thirteen were known to b,
be dead.
