SMALL BLAZE
ON SOUTH SIDE
(From Saturdays DaiIy.)

The fire alarm was sounded TODAY
about 2:15 but this time it was not
false as the house occupied by Mrs.
Mary Staab and Mr.. and Mrs. G..
Withrow, 229 Maple street, was on
fire.
The blaze was discovered when Mrs.
Withrow started upstairs to get some
clothes and found the stairway filled
with smoke. With the assistance of
several men who appeared on the scene
the furniture from the ground floors
was removed to the street, but on &C.
count of the smoke it was not possible
to remove anything from the upper
rooms and here some damage resulted
from smoke and water.
1t is thought that the fire started
from defective chimney. The house
itself was not damaged to any great
extent, the blaze being confined large
ly to the roof around the chimney.

A PILOT TO TRUST.

Unity, weekly religious paper
published in Chicago, contains in its
current issue an editorial that ought
to have wide reading. Therefore we
reprint it here with the wish that
every thoughtful editor would also
print it in the editorial column of his
newspaper. This is the editorial:
"Hiram is the name of the schooner
ninety-three years old, plying along
the Atlantic coast, which recently
collided with an unknown boat in
the open sea, receiving hole in her
side below the water line. She was
run by Mrs. George Orne, the only
woman captain of schooner sailing
the Atlantic. She brought the ship
safely into the Boston harbor, being
herself at the wheel most of the time
for one long night aid day. A woman
that can bring leaking ship to port
ought to be able to cast vote for ar
alderman, or even hold the Office o
rural supervisor of roads, but Massa.
chusetts does not think so yet"

wrote that they would send him such
stock as he would choose, to be

the company to be kind that SHOULD
receive the encouragement of every
one. In remembering the ola soldiers
they show spirit of patriotism that
does not stop there but means the
