The loss sustained by the explosion
and fire cannot be definitely stated.
A dry cleaning business IL regarded as
a dangerous fire risk and for that
reason only small insurance was car
ried by Mr.. Warfel on his business.
1t Is understood that Mr.. Chauncey
does not have much insurance on the
building. Machinery used by the
cleaning company is valued at approx
mately $4,000 and most of 1t has been
ruined. Warfel, who is secretary to
Congressman Comstock, is in Wash

Little Damage 10 Done.
No damage was done by the explos-
Ion, the fire or water to the buildings
on the west of the cleaning plant.
Fires started on window stills on the
east side Of the Mcclure building but
these were promptly extinguished.
Water caused slight damage to stock

your local paper tells you when to

(2) IL such a commission is ere

should they be appointed so tina. the

asset in every contest for the Gov

CD II members are appointed, as

(4) Do you favor law whic'
places the whole burden of local tax

taxation stocks, bonds, notes, mon ~

(5) Is it fair to tax money in the

CD SHOULD long loans be penal

IF IT'LL JUST HOLD OUT.

- - " W. AAOA<i' "
The evangelists have come and
gone, and there is no disputing the
fact that old Hartford is a much
better town. from a religious stand
point, now than it was before the
arrival of Bro. Klein and his singer
and musician.
1t is true that the evangelist may
have said things, during the series
of meetings just held, that did not
set well with many of us, but there
is no denying the fact that he caused
and that there are men (and women,
too in Hartford, from all walks of
life, who today are endeavoring to
live better lives, set better examples
before our young people and feel
that the christian life is the only
one, than they did little more than
two weeks ago.
The business and professional
men of the city (most of them have
become interested, as evidenced by
the mems meetings held in the lodge
hall two mornings last week, where
big strong men unburdened their
souls and confessed to one another
their Weaknesses and shortcomings
aIn inc Of oh ri lot nj ",
We're glad to be numbered among
those present" at these meetings,
and we say, without fear of contra
diction, that the spirit of 'old-time
religion" that makes you love ev-
erybody" was more clearly manifest
ed in these two services than any we
have ever attended. There, men
pledged themselves to help one an
other live the Christ life, and in
stead of sneering at the man who is
endeavoring to live right, slap him
on the shoulder and say: Bully
for you, old man, I'm for you from
tip to toe" That's the only way to
make our town better, and that's
the kind of town in which we all
want to live.
The sound of Bro. Wlein's voice
the sweet notes of Mr.. Renshaw's
beautiful songs and the vibration OF
the strings of the piano so skillfully
manipulated by Mr.. Grace have
hardly died away. and We have not
had time to tell how long those who
have pledged themselves to do bet
ter will live up to it, but we do know
that the revival just closed at tn,
Methodist church has done a worl(
of good in Hartford-IF IT'LL
JUST HOLD OUT.

ALMOST FORGOTTEN.

Columbus O.-Like one of the ro'
mantle stories Of the French Bastilt
is the tale of John Connolly. who
walked forth a free man, after
spending II years behind the walls
of the Ohio penitentiary.
He was like one almost forgotten
In 1900 he stole a horse in Guern'
sey county, and, having twice been
convicted before, was sentenced to
the penitentiary as an habitual Grim
inal, which emant indefinitely. When
he entered the prison he was in his
fifty-first year, and during his incar-
ceration he behaved himself almost
without flaw.
Struck by its harshness, the Gen.
eral Assembly long ago repealed the
habitual criminal act, but this did
not bring Connelly's release. War
den Preston B. Thomas requested
Governor Cox, in the interest of JUS
tice, to give the old man his freedom
on this the seventeenth anniversary
of his arrival.
Finding that he had relatives who
were willing to take him in, the
Governor sent a pardon to him, with
the hope that his few remaining
years would contain no more troub-
lie.
Armed with his precious paper,
the poor prisoner went to the rail-
way station and departed for his old
home.

The sudden death of Joel II. Pile
on last Wednesday was great
shock to his many friends here. Mr..
Pile, who was just in the prime of
life and a fine specimen of vigorous
manhood, expired while undergoing
minor operation for some defect in
the frontal sinus at the Episcopal
Eye and Thoat Hospital in this city.
The surgeons seemed puzzled as to
the immediate cause of death but
their certificate gives it as valvular
heart trouble. Mr.. Pile first came
to Washington as Secretary to Con-
gresham Ben johnson. Four years
ago he was appointed to a response
BILE position in the Post-Office De-
partment which position he held at
the time of his death and was under
the civil service. He had a host of
friends here as well as in Kentucky.
Before his acceptance Of a govern
ment position he was a leading cit
izen of Breckenridge county, having
been County School Superintendent
and otherwise prominent in educa-
tional and religious activities. He
was indeed one of Gods noblemen.
To know Joel Pile was to love him.
His devoted wife, now heart-broken
widow, has our deepest sympathy.
Miss Mallie Ferguson, of the Post
Office Department, formerly of
South Carrollton, is seriously i'll of

Hospital. Her brother, DR.. ]. M.

ters, Mrs. w. C. Gaynor, of Chicago,
and Mrs. Frank NJ. Foulks, of Tam
pa, Fla, are now here with her.
Roy r. Heavrin, of Hartford, has
fully recovered from recent illness
and has resumed his position in the
War Department. Roy has received
several medals for speed on the
writing machine and it is said that
he does not have a superior in stem
ography and typewriting in the gov
eminent service.
Everett A. Ellis, also of Hartford,
has recently been promoted to a
more responsible position in the War
Department carrying handsome in
crease in salary.
