Ackley, Dec. 2S.-George A. Furniss,
a resident of this city, was burned to
death Christmas day by the explosion
Of a can Of kerosene, with which he
was attempting to re -kindle a fire in
hard coal burner, which he thought
was extinguished. Mr.. Furniss was 81
years old in November and was hale
and hearty. He told his son, with
whom he resided in this city, shortly
before the accident, that he was en-
joying one of the happiest Christmas
days of his life Presents had been
showered on him by relatives and he
had spread them out In his room in
the flat occupied by his son and family
and at intervals, between times when
he was helping his son in restaur-
ant owned by the latter, he would go
to the house which was just across the
street and inspect them with great de-
light.
Kerosene Can Expiodes.
About 5 o'clock in the afternoon he
discovered, as he thought, that the fire
in the stove was out, and placing q pa
per in the stove he poured kerosene
from full gallon can over it. An ex-
plosion resulted almost Immediately,
so severe that it blew the top and bot
tom from the can and scattered the
contents over Mr.. Furniss. His cloth
ing took fire Immediately and he at
tempted to smother the flames by
wrapping a quilt around himself. Fail
ing in this he ran down the stairs into
the ouen air and tried to smother them
by rolling in the snow. But before
they were extinguished his clothes
were burnt from his badly and his body
SO badly burned that death resulted
about ten hours later He retained
consciousness until shortly before his
death and begged to be put out Of his
misery. o.
Burial at Columbus, o.
The body was taken to Columbus,
Ohio, the former home of Mr.. Furniss
where his wife is buried and where he
has several brothers and sisters. The
body was accompanied by L. A. Fur
Miss, an only son, with whom he has
been residing for the past four years.
The fire in the building was con-
fined to Mr. Furniss' room, the con-

blood RELATIONS ARE IN
death CRAPPLE IN EUROPE
Warning European Monarchs Are All
Closely Related-The King of
England, Gear of Russia and the
Kaiser Are Cousins

The King of England and the Gar
of Russia are first cousins, and each
of these monarchs is cousin to the EN-
pcror of Germany. The King of war
ridden Belgium is both a cousin to the
King of England and the Emperor of
Germany.
The Emperor of Austria, aged Franz
Joseph, is cousin to the King of
Spain, who is related by marriage to
the Czar. All down through the nobil-
ity are to be found blood ties which
have been east to the winds in the IT,
tanic struggle for mastery.
1t has been stated that it is not a
war of the peoples but a war of the
monarchs, and family relationship has
certainly counted for nought during
these terrible months of struggle.
President Wilson has said that "wars
will only cease when men love each
other more, and the example thus set
by the monarchs of Europe of hatred,
envy and covetousness most certainly
precludes any idea of a permanent
peace begotten of altruism.
But kingly affairs or affairs of state,
Tor III Europe une MOnafcn is Une SVdIe,
seem to become impersonal, and rela-
tionship between monarchs represents
as little to-day as it did when Ma
poleon's Austrian fatherinlaw aided
England and Germany to efface the
""Little Corporal from European poll
ties.
The relationship between these. rul-
ing houses, however, forms an interest
ing phase of the situation in Europe
to-day, and nowhere can a better oc-
count of this and thousand other i'm
portant sidelights on the present strug-
gle be found than in "The Nations at
War;
This historic volume, the first to be
produced from an authoritative source,
covers not only the relationship between
the warning nations, but also gives a
complete record, both written and pic
tured, of every detail during the first
six months.
Through ycoman effort the Star.In-
dependent secured a large edition of
this original work, and the offer of
the book to its readers for SO cents,
which merely represents the expense
incidental to copyright rights and
handling charges, will remain open un-
til every reader is supplied unless the
present heavy demand depletes the
stock and further arrangements cannot
be made with the publishers.-Adv*

Demands IN ITALY
FOR WAR GROWS
Continued From First Page

statesmen Signor Manfred, president
of the Senate; Signor Marcora, presi-
dent of the Chamber of Deputies, and
Signor Giolitti, former premier, Dut
now the leader of the party in Italy in
favor of neutrality
These are the fist evidences of po-
litical development of the day, and they
were observed with deep interest be
cause of the resignation yesterday of
the cabinet on the ground that it did
not have the unanimous support of the
constitutional parties of the country in
its international policy. The King has
not yet announced whether the resigna-
tions will he accepted.
Why tho Ministers Resigned
The members of the Cabinet found
it impossible to bridge the differences
separating them from the followers of
Signor Giolitti. They handed in their
designations for the reason that they
than appear before Parliament when it
meets May 20 and give the world an
exhibition of internal division in Italy
which probably would be accompanied
by recriminations and accusations. To
do so would be most undignified for
Italy. The action of the Cabinet leaves
King Victor Emmanuel free to choose
the men he considers best adapted to
guide Italy in the present grave situa-
ton.
Both Signors Marcora and Manfredi
have been mentioned as possible Pre-.
miers. Politically the King is above
all nartips and he is in nnssession nj
information enabling him to form ex
cellent judgment as to the feeling of the
country.

Hearing, Says He Is Going Out
of Business

Solomon Cohen, a pawnbroker, at

were dismissed at hearing before Al
derman Hoverter last night when they
promised to discontinue holding auc-

full.
Joseph Brenner, ieweler at 8
North Third street, and Il. j. II. Greg
ory, who were arrested on similar
charges, were held under $500 bail for
further hearing on Monday night.
Bremen says he is about to close
his business, and declares that he was
conducting lawful auction sale. A
committee from the Chamber of Com
merce will investigate the Brenner
store to ascertain if he is going out of
business.
Should his story be Incorrect, both
he and his auctioneer will be arraigned
before the alderman. If it is correct
the case will be dropped, as a mer-
chant who is about to discontinue busi-
ness is permitted to hold an auction
sale.
