GLASS PLANT
At Fairmont is Destroyed by
Fire of an Unknown
Origin.

FAIRUONT, jury 13.-Fire, of I'M
known origin, yesterday evening de-
stroyed the plant of the Fairmont
Art Glass Company, operating an egg
and novelty glass manufacturing
plant on the east side Of the river.
The fire occurred at about 7 O'Clock
and burned for an hour, destroying
the large plant Of the company as
well as the home Of Mrs. Frank
Hentzy and children, the owners OF
the concern. The loss is hard to es-
innate but will run from $4,000 to
$4,000.
Fully half million finished eggs
were stored in the ware-rooms of the
company and these were all destroyed
by the fire. In addition the tanks,
pots and machinery of the plant were
destroyed. The loss will be fully as
great as the value of the factory de-
stroyed. The large two-story brick
residence, known as the McElfresh
property, was also destroyed by the
fire, only the walls remaining stand
ing. The factory and the house
were the property Of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company.

Coupons and Complimentary
Votes to Be Cut Out after
Saturday.

The race for S4,35O in prizes which
will be distributed free among the
members of the Telegram 10000 Club
Ia growing warmr and warmer as the
time draws near for the close Of the
campaign. With all members within
easy distance of the top, it is hard to
tell just who are most likely to be at
the lead when the end finally comes.
Some Of the members who have the
qualities necessary to make a win
ming race are falling behind because
Of the lack OF persistence. Others who
are not so well blessed with energy,
enthusiasm and hustle are plugging
ahead and are very likely to gain the
lead at the close through sheer deter
mination and will power.
Not Too Late.
Some are inclined to lie back in the
harness and figure that it is too late
to win one Of the big prizes.
Some who loafed at the start have
lost all hope. But the wise ones won't
lose hope, but keep going strong right
up until the last minute. 1t is not yet
too late to start winning race. The
major contest will be fought out dur
ing the next few weeks intervening
between now and July 20.
