FIRE LAST SUNDAY.
The Dwelling House Of Dennis Eyerts at
Hesses Mill Totally Destroyed Last
Sunday. Light Insurance.
MILL SAVED WITH DIFFICULTY.

The dwelling house at Hesses
Mil in Thompson township, own.
edand occupied by Dennis Everts,
was totally destroyed by fire
about noon last Sunday. The
fire Is supposed to have commun.
icated to the roof from the chin
ney and this is only conjecture,
for when the family first discov-
cred the fire the roof was well
ablaze. From the first 1t was
seen that any attempt to save the
building would be frultless, and
every effort was exerted to save
the household goods, most of
which vas removed. For a time,
the mill which Is only short dis.
lance away, was in great danger,
and was once or twice on fire.
The insurance, which was light,
only a hundred dollars on the
building, and two hundred on the
contents, was carried by the
Friends Cove Mutual.

A MIDWINTER SHOWER.
One That Neither Hicks nor Uncle Sans

Enough to Forecast.

One of the prettiest customs
our people have IS that Of show.
erlng a prospective bride. At a
recent Joint-sesslon of the Ep.
worth League and the Ladies
Aid Society Of the M. Il. church,
1t was unanimously decided that
the time was "ripe" to shower
Miss Sadie Rotz, daughter of
Jacob Rotz, of north Second
street; and while Miss Rotz, who
Is an energetic church worker,
was attending meeting of the
W. G. Il. U. last Friday evening,
about forty Of her friends assem-.

ware as shall 60 long way IN
the road of usefulness when her
actual housekeeping days begin.
There were also many little sou.
venirs which will be long and
tenderly cherished, reminding
her Of sunny engagement days.
After recovering from her sur.
prise in having so many Of her
friends greet her upon her arri.
val home, and seeing so many
pretty and useful presents ar
ranged on the table, she was IN
vlted to the dining room where
her friends had, also, provided
refreshments consisting of Ice
cream and cake.
One Of the amusing contribu-
tionsln the shower wasa hat made
for the bride from an inverted
dishpan, around which was most
artlstlcally draped a turkish bath
towel, while very pretty dolly
covered the crown. An egg beat
er, wire ladle, cake turner and
bottle washer were converted
into algrettes which were held
In place for a side trimming by
nutmeg crater which made very
stylish buckle, and an innocent
little article at the back answered
every purpose of a hat pin.

Something About a Historic English
Race Course.

Something About a Historic English
Race Course.
The Coodwood race course Is quite
unique. 1t is Il long way from sta
tiQli and is not near any town, says the
London Taller. 1t is on hill the top
of which Is shaped like horseshoe.
the space between the two horns being
represented by deep ravine. The
course runs round the horseshoe. the
start being ut the end of one horn and
the finish ut the end Of the other. The
result Of this is that the equestrians
who on other courses contrive to sec
both start and finish by the simple
process of riding across while the race
Is in progress cannot do so ut Good
wood. They must elect which they
will see and remain there. On the
other hand. the course is very easy t1'
follow with glasses.
The races as an institution are corA
parativcly modern, but there m'9t
have been hunt races and matches on
this course since the days Of Wilaam
Ill.,, when we hear Of the GoodHood
hunt as in existence. In 1900, how
ever, the then Duke Of Richmond
made a new course, which is peactical-
" the present one. In 1901 ITO course
was completed, and in ordta to cele-
brate this q regular meeting was got
up by the duke with the assistance OF
the hunt and some oflicezs Of the Sus-
sex militia and yeoma1ry, and prizes
to the value of about $1,000 were pu
up. This meant a good sum In thost
days. This was the first Goodwood
meeting of Importance, and from that
wear it became IN annual event.
