building, and Officer Gaynor at once
notified The Phoenix Fire Company.
As the horse-drawn truck Of this
company passed over Tenth street,
along King street. the FIRST round of the
alarm sounded by Clancy was heard.
This brought the Other district ilremen,
and when they arrived, they found the
Phoenix flremen with ladders extended
from the street to lhc upper windows
Of the burning building and a line Of
hose running into the building. The
quick arrival OF the flremen caught the
bflames in its incipiency, and while the
. chemical streams used by the Phoenix
flremen proved inadequate to cope with
the fire, the plug streams thrown onto
The fire soon eXtinguished H.
The fire started from unknown cause
IN the upper end Of the upholstery de-
lparlment, situated in the King street
end Of the structure and dense vol
umes OF black sm6ke issued from the
windows as ihe flames ate into piles
OF hair and other materials used in
the manufacturing Of mattresses and
pillows.
The flames from this burning mate
rial also licked up the side OF the build
ing and every window was Obscured
for awhile by smoke or flames. The up
per portion Of the building Is built of !
slate and beneath this the flames ate
into the wooden sides and gave the |
bremen some trouble, they being un- |
able 10 tear the slate Off the sides OF !
he building without working from
adders.
While the flremen were throwing
water into the burning mass Of mate
'ials on the top floor, officials Of the
company, together with other fremen
md the sales force employed in the
store, including the women clerks and
lOokkeepers, went TO work as a sal
wage corps. Tf
The volunteer corps saved much OF
.he furniture on the second floor aud
costly tapestries and hangings on the
iirst or main floor from possible dam
age by removing them TO the French
street end Of the building.
BY removing these articles from the
King street end OF the buildings two
floors none Of the stock was damaged
and Il was said that the company
would not be compelled TO close
the store on account of fire.
Officials OF the company were unable
TO state Just what their loss would be
but II is understood Il is fully cover
ed by insurance.
The changing OF the fro apparatus
through the streets at noon and the
dcnce clouds of smoke pouring from
the building causes an immense crowd
to congregates at the scene.
During the fire Hugh Brainard. a
member Of the Phoenix Fire Company.
was slightly injured on the head when .
line OF hose being hauled mp the eX- /
tension ladder got beyond control OF /

LEMOYNE ASKED
TOVISIT SCHOOLS
Patrons Urged to Investigate
Work Done by Board
and Teachers

Lemoyne, Pa, Nov. S.-Believing
borough residents are not giving any
attention to the local school sys-
tenn and criticising the work of the
board of directors and teachers when
they are not acquainted with condi-
tions, w. A. Bair, secretary of the
board to-day issued a statement to
the patrons. In the statement the
secretary suggests few things that
board members feel would help the
schools to be more appreciated than
they are. The statement follows:
Directors of the Lemoyne schools
want to call attention of taxpayers
and patrons of our schools to a few
things that we feel would help
make our schools more appreciated
than they are. We feel that we
have a corps of teachers who are
working hard, and as n result of
their efforts we feel that we have
schools which are second to none in
the community.
1--WE feel that the citizens of Le-
moyne do not appreciate the fact
tiletI we uO nave BOOu SCnOOlS, IN
fact we can hear more favorable
comment about our schools from
persons who are not patrons. The
reason for this is that the patrons
of our schools do not acquaint them
selves with the work that is being
done in our schools. We must main
tain our schools. We must pay our
teachers. Then why not help make
our schools what they should be by
encouraging the teachers and di-
rectors?
1--WE feel that the parents should
visit the schools and find out just
what is being done and if there is
any real or imaginary fault. go have
a talk with the teacher and find out
the facts. Do not judge of the work
being done by what you see and
hear outside the schoolroom.
TOO often a teacher is criticised
for some act or result by the child's
report which is too often one-sided.
We again urge parents to visit our
schools. If you cannot find time to
go through the whole building you
surely are interested enough in your
child's education and welfare to go
spend an hour in the room or rooms
to which your children go.
"It is your money that maintains
the schools and we are trying, ham
pered as we are for funds, to give
the very best possible. If there is
any doubt in your mind as to the
standing or grade of our schools,
ask the high school inspector, the
county superintendent or the super
vising principal how our schools
compare with other schools in the
community. Bear in mind that good
teachers, text books. and the neces-
sary equipment will not give re-
suits without effort on the part of
the pupil and the cooperation of the
parents"

.THE BIRD OF PARADISE

Richard Walter Tully's beautiful
Hawaiian romance, The Bird of Para
disc" now in its eighth consecutive
year of phenomenal success from
coast to coast, will appear at the Or
pheum next Friday and Saturday for
it's annual visit.
Since last seen here the play has
been rebuilt and recostumed, and in
every detail, the production will be
found bright and new and will come
up to the high standard oliver Mo-
rosco, its producer has set in the
past. Perhaps nearly every person
who will see it during its coming en-
gagement already knows the story,
the manner of it's development and
its principal scenes. Many may have
seen it enough to know its lines. II
has become q great popular favorite,
and is still enticing capacity audi
ences in every city visited. Miss Ann
Reader is the New Luana- and is said
to give a vivid Characterization of the
innocent temptress who drags her
white husband into the depths. Mr..
Guy Harrington enacts the role of
the white man; Frederick Forester
plays the part of the beach -comber (;
and Miss Agnes Cappeline is Diana,
the American girl. One of the great
est charms of this play is the ever.
present weirdly sweet music that
steals out of the silence, and forces
its appeal to deeper emotionalism,
giving peace to troubled soul and a
sweeter breath to the. island love.
Among the other members of the typ
ical Morosco, cast are John Milton,
Royale Thoyer. Taylor Carroll, Frank
stance Kingsley, Miss Margaret
Thayer and Miss Meta Eyfeth. The
Hawaiian singers are. as usual, fea-
ture of the play.

ONE OF THE BEST
QUARTETs IN AMERICA

Reed Miller. the second tenor of
the Columbia Stellar Quartet, VIII be
heard in the Orpheum Theater on
Thursday, November 13, as one of
the attractions of the All-Star Popu-
lar Concert series. He has appeared
as soloist with the famous New York
Oratorio Society on twenty-five sep
arate occasions. He has been en-
gagged to sing the Messiah" time and
time again. His engagement for the
tour of the Columbia Stellar Quartet
necessitated the cancellation of a
number of important concert engage
ments throughout the country. Mr..
Miller was born in South Carolina and
attended Clemson College. For a
while he lived in Alabama, and it
was there his singing first attracted
attention. Going to New York. he
promptly took a high place in the list
of young tenors, and in a remarkably
short time gained recognition as one
of the best schooled artists before
the public. He nas had three tours
with the New York Symphony Orches-
ira and two with the Chicago Or
chestra, and has appeared as soloist
at one time or another with every
important symphony orchestra in the
United States.
