Parrot Stops a Fire.

Never again will the pet parrot IN
the Clark home, In New Rochelle. N.
Y, be punished for violation Of the
rules Of polite conversation, or for
any other cause. II 1t hadn't been
for the self-same parrot, the Clark
home might today be in ruins. While
polly was enduring her punishment by
Incarceration In small cage in the
attic she discovered a hre there and
gave the alarm. Consequently her
term Of three weeks imprisonment
has been recalled. The parrot had
been so disobedient of late. especially
in tho matter of the looseness Of her
conversation. that she was put in the
attic. Her pleas for mercy were In
vain.
While workmen we're cutting down
trees near the estate twig became
ignited by live WIRE. A gust Of wind
blew 1t into the attic Of the Clark
home. a window having been left open
for the benefit Of the bird. Soon Polly
saw smoke coming from the ceiling
and screamed her alarm.

tion.
Then the mayor of Aiken threw his
hat into the ring, figuratively speak
ing. He came out with the announce
ment that he proposed to probe the
matter to the very bottom, and that he
was going to pursue his own private
and personal investigation Of the af-
fair. He added that he was not going
to take any one into his confidence,
but was going to get at the truth and
would make public in due time what
ever he found out He declares he
does not propose to have the reputa-
ton Of Aiken suffer in the eyes Of the
world, and he Is going to clear It Of
every stigma that has been put upon
It by the Beach affair, no matter
whose feelings are hurt,
That is the present status Of tho
mystery. If It ever is unraveled and
the solution gets into print It seems
likely it will be one extreme or tho
other. Either it will resolve itself
into . case Of unprovoked and brutal
assault by a negro. or else it may drag
to Night various society skeletons. As
1t stands now 1t has all the elements
Of mystery that are essential to the
first 1000 words of a fine Sherlock
Holmes story. All that is lacking is
the solution-and it would take more
than Conan Doyle to invent a climax
that exceeds in thrills any Of half q
dozen that are being whispered behind
closed doors in Aiken.
Charge Made Involves Frederick o.
Beach.
Frederick o. Beach and Mrs. Beach
recently returned from trip abroad,
where Mr.. Beach learned that he was
wanted in Aiken. 8. c., for trial on a
charge Of having attacked Mrs. Beach
there. Beach stated that he ran from
the house to his wife's rescue. when
he heard her screams.
After Mrs. Beach's recovery she and
her husband returned north and sail
ed for Europe. Later q warrant was
issued on the affidavit Of detective
accusing Beach of the attack. Beach
cabled from abroad that he would 10
turn home at once.
