STOPS FIRE PANIC

Battle Creek, Mich.-Guests at
the Clifton hotel had an unrobed
parade early Saturday morning
when fire started in the unfinished
addition to this hostelry and filled
every room of the main building
with dense smoke.
AS the guests came downstairs in
near panic they found Harry Whit
ney night clerk, telling funny stor-
les to those who had preceded
them. Whitney did not tell the
guests that every fire company in
the city was fighting a blaze in
the addition, and practically all of
them went back to dress.
The fire did less than $500 dam
age, but set back the work on the
annex considerably Isaac Lynch,
q Negro porter, was found uncon-
scious from the smoke in his room
and was taken to Nichols hospi-
tai.

other to establish the eight-hour work
ing day with a maximum limit for
the week of 4S hours for any person

These are the first petitions since the

Orderly Service.

A Methodist parson, called to preach
at an out-of-the-way town in California
was informed, before entering the pull
pit, that he must be careful, as many
of the assembled congregation were
"roughs," and would not hesitate to
pull him from the pulpit if his remarks
did not suit them.
The minister made no reply, but
having reached the sacred desk, he
took from his pocket two revolyers,
and placing one on each side Of the BIZ
BILE, gave a sharp glance around the
room and said; Let us pray"
A more orderly service was never
held-National Monthly.

ner concert tour of the country. yet
both OF these artists appeal in the
new list OF Victor records for Febru-
airy and are heard in delightful arias
The Caruso number is the effective
farewell OF Turiddu from the last
part of Cavalleria Rusticana, and the
great tenor sings 1t with a wonderful
beauty OF tone. displaying both tho
power and tenderness OF his voice
Melba sings the touching Burns bal
lad John Anderson Ny 10" and two
delightful short numbers by French
composers. which show the warmth
and loveliness and flawless smooth
ness OF her voice. Media also rem

TO which this noted violinist contrib

playing reflects the poetic charm of
Sarasates "RomaIiza Andaluza," and
brings out the beauties OF the Wien

solos are contributed by Maud pow
ell-her rendition OF lovely melody and

There are ten new contributions to

whether listening to the readings by
Cora Mel Patten. or the songs by
Elizabeth Wheeler, or the folk dances
by the Victor Military band. IL Is easy
TO undsrstan just why this class of
record is as popular with the chill

school work. Every parent should
make ii a point TO hear these rec

sary to add that any Victor dealer
will gladly play upon request any
music In this new February list.

Ing the Detroit United railway, told

commerce, Thursday, that the inter

Because OF its ownership OF two miles

that day or know the reason why. But
each day brought him back, for he was
