MIDWINTER
TRADE

As the newspaper man looks over
his exchanges at this time of year
the strongest impression he gets is
that of the enormous amount of ad.
vertising OF midwinter sales.
From the big department store of
some great city. down to the little
dry goods shop at some country

merchants, that It is cheaper to sell
winter goods at reduction now, than

1t has therefore become one OF the

cessions he is wiling to make, the
public would conclude that he was

There is always a special class of
trade waiting to take advantage of
midwinter bargains. 1t consists of
shrewd economical people, who would

S75.OOO FIRE SWEEPS
 FREMONT THEATER
Properties and Costumes of the Daddy Long Legs" Company
 Destroyed.

Boston, Jan. 24.--The Trem ont Theater, the oldest playhouse in the city staging legitimate productions, was the scene yesterday of a fire which swept through the stage and the front of the auditorium. Every thing between the back wall of the stage and the first balcony was de- stroyed, including the properties and costumes of the Daddy Long Legs" company in which Henry Miller and Ruth Chatterton were playing. The loss is estimated at $75,000.
 Crossed wires in or near the cleo trical switchboard in the rear of the stage are believed to have started the
 fire. There was no one in the build
 ing at the time except few em- ployees.
 John B. Schoeffe1, proprietor and manager of the theater, said it would be closed for several months at least. l It has been run almost continuously 1 except for summer closings, since 1885. Of the total loss, about $75, ,00O ] represents the damage to the tIfater property. The Daddy Long Legs , company, controlled by Klaw & Err langer, valued it's properties at $25,- 900.

or rnA main doorway of St. Patrick's cathedral on Fifth avenue, New York city. Before legally adopting the child the Shepards spent about $50,000 in an effort to find the mother or father of l the waif and traced ever clew to the end, but without success Then the court made the boy the legal heir to Mrs Shepard's share of the Gould mil | lions.
 1 Since this time, however, scientists
 have been at work attempting to dis | cover something about the past life of
 the child. The results of these re-
 searches are most interesting. They l have come to the conclusion that the
 child was born in Scotland and that his l mother migrated to Canada in the hope
 of making money by farming. His ap- | pearance-the fair skin, blue eyes and
 blond hair-as well as his lisp accent
 and repetition of the name Austin Me- l Cleary' indicates Scotch origin. | Scientists now assert that Finley | Shepard was reared on a farm north
 of Montreal. It is a section where the | farm lands are poor and the farmers | have to struggle to eke 8 living from 1 the land. Because of the infertility of the soil they raise few vegetables and therefore do not market such produce In large towns. The boys assertion to the police when he was first found that at home there were many chickens and
 moo cows bears out the theory that he was raised in that section of Canada. There chickens are raised extensively. The great barnyard. filled with fowls, was one of the predominant impress
 sions in the youths mind when he was questioned
 By the peculiar accent and lisp of the
 boy when found, by the name Austin
 McCleary, which he uttered and which was found sewed in his clothing, we
 know the mother was Scotch. She saw
 a dark future for the boy on the iso- lated, barren Canadian farm and was willing to risk the chance that If aban- doned he might be found by some one of wealth and aff1uence. Her fondest
 dreams have been more than realized Few children in America have the same opportunity to make good than this lit tie unknown child of some Scotch wo-
 man.
 Will the mother of Finley Shepard,
 Jr. ever claim her son? This is ex-
 tremely doubtful, for after a year he
 has found the fortune she had wished might be his. Reading about the adop- ton. it is probable that she may some time make trip to New York, but she probably will not claim the boy She will not 1ntrude because she might men, ace his future. She will always cher ish the memory of the child, and she | has already proved her love by remain ing in total obscurity while all the country read of the boys good fortune. l

Supt. Reeks Renews Efforts to Keep
 Down the Grip.

Fear of a new epidemic of grip caused Superintendent Reeks of tho health department to issue through the press this morning a warning to those who are afflicted by the plague not to aid in spreading the germs. After a warm spell like this part of the country has experienced dur ing the past few days. the grip germs are liable to go on another rampage.
 Superintendent Reeks asks people who have the grip not to cough, sneeze, or expectorate without using their handkerchiefs. The grip germ is a playful little animal and noth- ing pleases him more than to get loose and fasten his fangs into some person who is in sound health.

| ~F has no system of espion. l " age in foreign lands-and l does not need one-no
 country has a better organized or more competent secret service system in ope-
 ration within it's own borders. And
 during the European struggle the ac-
 tivities of this department of the gov
 ernment service have been greatly in-
 creased. Aside from the regular duties the secret service operatives have had
 to contend with aliens in America who have been accused of various misdeeds. | Little goes on in this country that sooner or later fails to come under the
 watchfuI eye of William J. Flynn, chief i of the United States secret service.
 While this service does not pry into the
 secrets of other nations, 1t does trace criminals to all parts of the globe. While the public hears little of the de- tails of the work, the chief has agents all over the country and all over tho
 world, men of great skill many of them of high education, others of little school education, but graduates of the uni- versity of human nature and of criml- nology, men of great courage and neces- sarily of tremendous resourcefulness. They may be here today and in the far east a month hence. They may be in New York this morning and may start for Europe tomorrow on some mission
 Some of the achievements of the se cret service in the last fifteen years may be related in connection with the work of the present chief. MT. Flynn, who has won the praise of presidents for his clever work in detecting and preventing crime and who has received the thanks of the directors of the Bank of England, began life as a plumber. 1 He always wanted to be & detective, ! and after serving as the warden of Ludlow street jail he finally joined the secret service in 1897, soon being ap- pointed a division chief and being as- signed to the Pittsburgh division. He was transferred to New York in 1900 and later was assigned to the task of safeguarding the Russian and Japanese peace commissioners at Portsmouth.
 Flynn Is man of exceptional ability, but he was trained in bureau that makes the best detectives in the coun- try It Is declared that the service of which he Is now the head has shown itself to be the best nucleus obtainable for a much broader and bigger service such as the country now needs. As an organizer he showed his ability when he resigned from the secret service to go to the New York police headquarters
