The "Kids" were out on Wednesday
evening for the customary Halloween
pranks. The inclemency of the
weather however was quite a handi-
cap, and the activities were limited
A few soaped windows was about
the only evidence to be noticed Thurs
day morning.
Ivan Shull expects to leave soon
for Jacksonville, Florida where he
will be engaged in the carpenter work
on National Cantonment during the
winter. The government pays car
penters &c 2-3 cents per hour for car
penter work, and double pay for Sun
day work. This makes pretty fair
weekly wages.
Millinery is cheaper today than
other necessaries. Prices are nearer
normal in hats than in any other
thing you buy. When you can get a
velvet hat-not velveteen-remembe
for $3.50 and $500 you are not pay
ing very unreasonable price for
your hat. There are also cheaper
hats in plain trimming. Come and
see. Maple City Millinery Store. adv

PIER Fire IS
UNDER CHECK

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 31.-A dis
astrous blaze, which wrecked two of
the finest of the Ba1timore & Ohio
terminal piers at Locust Point, spread
to British steamer, which had just
docked and caused It to burn and sink
with the probable loss Of four Of its
crew, broke out here last night and
was got under control at about 3
o'clock this morning. Ten stevedores
who had been at work on the ship are
not accounted for and are thought to
have gone down.
Vice President ]. NJ Davis, Of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, said it was
the belief Of the railroad officials that
the blaze was Of incendiary origin, as
several witnesses stated they saw
flames leap from piers s and 9 at five
points almost simultaneously.
The total loss will be over 5000
900. OF this, which is said to be a
conservative estimate, the piers rep
resented a value of $1.500,0o0; the
goods stored on them S3,0000,0o0 and
the steamer and cargo 100000.
The steamer, which docked yester-
day afternoon had on board eighty
anti-submarine shells from a British
port These exploded with loud re-
ports when the ship took fire and it
was not lorg after the ship had been
towed into midstream that she sank.

NEW PARIS, o., Oct 31.-Al1 New
Paris is planning to go to Richmond
next Wednesday night when the vii
lagos favorite son, Emil Hermann,
plays there with the Cincinnati SYM
phony orche stra.
Hermann isn't really son Of the
village in the sense that he was born
here, but he's sort of a son-in-law
and he's a good bit more loyal to the
village than some other successful
men who owe allegiance here.
He married New Paris girl, Doro-
thy Kirkpatrick, who. Is quite an ar
tist with the violin too. Their mar
riage resulted from a romance Of the
violin. She played here several years
and studied with Fred Hicks in Rich
mond, then she went, to Cincinnati to
study and met Hermann there.
Every summer the Heermanns spend
part of their time here and they both
practice and study many hours daily.
Other times they spend In walking
and motoring in their powerful motor.
They're good netghbors, too, although
many people here never have heard
him play, and that's the reason they're
so popular.
