FAME co. NOT
THE WECCACOE
. IS TO BLAME

Due TO a misunderstanding a mem
Der OF the Weccacoe Fire Company
was charged yesterday in The sun
day Star with having closed the door
of that company's house into the face
OF a man whose wife was dying, and
who wished to use The telephone to
summon "A physician As a matter of
fact the incident occurred at the en-
gine house of the Fame Hose Com
pany and nothing was known of tho
affair at the Weccacoe headquarters.
President Lutz of the Fame Com
pany, explaining the incident, said
that the man who had refused to al
low the use OF the telephone was a
non-member, but was sleeping there
that night This non-member was
called TO account and said that the
reason he had not allowed the man
TO use the telephone was because
hhe had been called down some
time ago for answering the tele-
phone and sending the fire apparatus
TO wrong address As the COM
pany has rule not 10 allow anyone
10 use the telephones after 1890
O'Clock at night except in case of fire
the man, remembering the "call
down he had received. was afraid TO
allow the telephone to be used
Mr. Lutz regrets the affair very
much as do the other members of
the company. Had any member of
the company been seen by the man
who applied at the engine house he
would have been assisted in every
way possible.
The reason the Weccacoe Company
was brought into the matter was be-
cause Dr. A. Robin, who was attend
ing the patient in question, had in
structed her husband to telephone
him from the Weccacoe engine house
and as the man had not told him ne
went to another engine house he pre-
sumed that the incident occurred at
the Weccacoe house. Or. Robin is
particularly anxious to cXonorato the

A Belgian chemist who has studied
the action of soap on various solling
substances OF different coors has ar

Of substitution. There Is brought
about a colioidal combination Of the
soap and the solling substance. which.
by reason OF its constitution. no longer
has the power OF fixing itself by alb
sorphon on to the solid body. with the
result that 1t Is easily carried away by
