Managers of Stone Home Pleased
With Result of Mother Goose
Carnival-Saie of Leftovers.

From The World of Saturday:
The board OF lady managers of the
Stone Settlement Home held the reg
ular meeting yesterday afternoon at
the HON OF Mrs. II. p. Thorn. The
gra ify ng statement was made that
the Mother Goose entertainment al
the home last week melted in the
neighborhood of $3.50.
A good many fancy articles, dolls,
toys, etc, were left over at the time
of the entertainment partly for the rea-
son that many persons in attendance
were not quite ready to make their
Christmas purchases in that line and
partly because there was so much go
ing on and so much to see and hear
hat many had little time TO make
purchases. There will be a special
sale Of the articles mentioned on Fri
day, December 8, in Mrs. Lee NJ. Ben
der's u parlor. Soulh Mape avenue.
inasmuch as these articles, for the
most part, were donated TO the Stone
Home as a source of revenue tn y will
be sold very reasonably.

Mrs. Ella Stumley Tired of Husbands
Cruel Treatment and Want d to

From The World Of Monday:


What seems to be a case for the
good Offices OF the Society for the
Prevention OF Cruel y OF Children,
we're there such an organization here,
has been occupying the attention OF
the police officers since Saturday night
Justice T%honpson's cour some time

nelius Stumley, hailing from Stras
burg Va, and a foreigner named
Pottsky Minsky, who might have
come from Russia, Poland or the Fiji
Islands, will be given a hearing on
the charge OF assault and battery
. o either other.
The woman, or rather child, in the
case. is the wife OF Stumiey, and she
wise sordid story. According to the
girls story she came 10 Mar lnsburg
a week Rr ten days ago with her
husband from Strasburg. and since
their arrival here $ umley has been
working in one OF the quarries-that
Is, when he worked. During this time
his wife has been thrown into close
association with he Italians and
other foreigners employed at the quar-
ries, and o formed a more or less
intimate friendship with Pottsy Minis.
ky. who the girl claims has been kind
to her and often protec ed her from
her husband when Stumley would beat
and otherwise maltreat her.
Mrs. Strmley claims she Is not yet
Is years of age, and that she was
married to S umley in Strasburg while
yet II years old. She has no children.
She a y her husband often mistreat-
cd her, and that his conduct became
so unbearable last week that she con-
sented to elope with Minsky.
She and Pottsby went 20 he Balti-

The girl. If cleaned and fixed up a

IT is to be hoped that everybody will

History of Red Cross Seals.
Red Cross Christmas Seals date
back in their origin to charity
stamps first used for the soldiers re-
lief funds in Boston in 1862 during the
Civil War. After the war this method
of raising money was discontinued in
this country for a generation although
1T found vogue in Portugal, Switzer-
and, Australia, and other European
countries. There are now several hun
bred different types of charity stamps
used in all parts CT the world.
Stamps or seals were first used to
get money for the antituberculosis cru
SADIE in Norway and Sweden in 1904.
After being used in these countries for
three years, as a direct result of the
interest of Jacob Riis in this move
ment. the Delaware Anti tuberculosis
Association, headed by Miss Emily p.
Bissell, and the Red Cross Society of
Delaware combined in issuing a Tuber.
culosis Stamp.
So successful was this campaig n
that nearly So 900 was realized. and
the next year, in 1908 the American
Red Cross was induced to issue a Ma
tional Red Cross tuberculosis Stamp.
From this sale $135,000 was realized,
that amount being almost doub ed in
1909. This year. for the first time, the
sale is organized on a comprehensive
basis. taking in ali parts of the United
: a.es. A million for tuberculosis is
confidently expected.

MANOWN'S DRUG STORE
HAS THIRD FIRE IN YEAR
Breaks Out in Rear of Basement and
Eats Way to First Floor Damaa-
ing Entire Stock.
From The world Of Monday:

From The World OF Monday:
Fire broke in the back basement I'M

West King street about 5 O'Clock this
morning and damaged the stock to the
extent of 50. 900. estimated. The Ger
ling building in which the store is To-
Gated was also damaged TO the amount
of about $780,
Mr.. Manown was out of town at the
time Of the fire, having left for Balti-
more Sunday evening on No. rs on a
business trip so a correct estimate of
his loss could not be obtained today.
Supt. w. G. Morton Of the city
schools. who occupies. a room In the
Y. NJ. c. A. building nearby. was
awakened at 3 o'clock this morning by
the smell OF smoke, and thinking the
association building might be on fire.
he hurried down stairs and aroused
the %janitor, Charles Ridsnour. Not find
ing anything wrong there the two went
outside to investigate. When they got
to Manown's store they saw smoke is
suing from the front door. MI. Nor
ton then called up the. Ryneal company
by telephone and in a few minutes
they and Tuscaroras were on the
scene. The prompt and effectual work
of the firemen saved the building and
prevented a greater loss in the drug
store.
II III Goyar ,papober of pynaa1
company, was the first fireman on the
scene and he say he found the side
basement door open, near where the
fire started, leading to the belief that
the fire was of incenfidiary origin and
not of spontaneous combustion or 9th
er supposed cause.
The fire started directly underneath
he prescription and stock room in the
real of the drug store and burned a
hole about three feet square in the
floor in the southwest corner Of the
room. The flames soon burned
through the partition into the hall
way, endangering the second and third
floors but the firemen succeeded in

not even allowing the fire to extend
into the drug sore itself. Fortu-
nately the upper part of the house
was ~unoccupied.
After burning a lot of kegs boxes,
rubbish, etc, in the cellar-which
were of little value-the fire, as
stated. spread to the prescription and
stock room and Office. Here there
was considerable destruction, medicine
bottles by the hundred being broken

ed. woodwork charred and the whole
blackened with smoke and flooded

damage was not so great, perhaps, al.
though the stock, fixtures, soda foun-
tain woodwork etc, are ~blackened
with smoke and more or less damaged
by smoke. the loss being hard to es
innate.
This is the third fire at the Manown
drug store within a year and all
started in the basement, though the
loss his time is much the heaviest
The loss is covered by insurance.

PosTMAsTERs AS BANKERS.

In spite Of the fact that the post
office department does not now assume
to act as a bank-thousands of per-
sons really make Uncle Sam a banker
through the means of the various post
masters of the country.
Discussion of the postal savings
bank bin which is pending in congress
has resulted in an investigation of the
money order system, which shows that
thousands of persons, particularly for
eigners, buy money orders made out
to themselves-and thus force the gov
eminent to become the custodian of
their funds.
The postmaster at Seattle recently
inspected the postal money order rec
ords of his office and found that 369
persons have deposited savings with
him through the medium of money
orders which total $4,000 This money
belongs chiefly to loggers, lumbermen,
sailors, gardenmen, and workmen of
various classes.
AT Nome, Alaska, the postmaster is
holding over 500, 900 which miners and
prospectors have deposited with him
in payment for money orders drawn to
themselves. At Bellingham, Wash.
the postmaster has over $4,000 paid in
money orders. Aberdeen, Wash. the
great lumber center of the northwest,
with large population of Huns, Firms.
Russians, Bohemians, Italians, and
other foreigners who know little about
banking and have absolute faith in the
postoffice epartment-shows a de-
post of $4,000 in its postoffice in the
form of unpaid money orders.
Farmers and fruit growers are less
partial to such means of keeping
money than lumbermen, according to
the reports of postmasters throughout
the northwest. They locate perma-
nently and invest their money. but the
lumbermen and fishermen are chiefly
locating populations prefer to
pay Uncle Sam 80 cents hundred for
money orders which draw no interest
rather than invest 1t in some manner.
