FIRE DESTROYS
PAPER STOCK AT

BLAZE DISCOVERED LAST
EVENING IN REAR OF
kETcHINGs PRINTING COM
PANY ON DUvAL STREET

Fire was discovered in the rear
of the Ketchings Printing Com
pany establishment at about 1880
o'clock last evening, but the flames
were quickly extinguished upon
the prompt arrival of the fire de-
partment.
The fire apparently originated
from cause undetermined in
some old accessories of a bakery
plant that once was operated in the
place.
The damage was confined main
~ to the stock of paper and en-
yelopes in the shelves of he plant,
most of which. material, It Is be-

tors were flooded and the presses
were drenched with water, but not
suffering any further known dam
ege. The type cases in he cabi-
nets were damaged also by water
being held in the type feceptacles,
causing the veneer bottoms to
warp.
The loss on stock is understood
to be covered by insurance, and
the machinery and type cabinets,
il is understood, were insured In
favor Of the stock houses from
which they were purchased.

SISTER LOUISE LEAVES FOR new
YORK AFTER LONG SERVICE HERE

Sister Louise, one of the most
popular and lovable sisters of the
Convent of Mary Immaculate. sail
ed on the Mallory Line steamer
San Jacinto last night for New
York.
The entire life of Sister Louise
Gabriel has been beautiful career
of consecrated devotion to her
religion and of service to mankind.
She was born in Detroit, Mich
igan, and received her early train
ing in the Convent of the Sisters
of Holy Names in that city, of
which institution the mother house
was in Montreal, Canada. She
made her novitiate and took her
final vows in Montreal.
Sister Louise came to Key West
in 1897, and has taught art and
kindergarten during these 29
years. During this long period Of
service here she has taught
students who later assumed the
responsibilities of home. Her
pupils include long list of Key
West women and a large number
from different points in Cuba.
During the Spanish-American
war, the Convent of Mary Imma-
culate in Key West was converted
into hospital. The sisters gave

up their work of training youth
and devoted their time and efforts
to saving the life of those who
had fallen for their country's
cause. A while after the war
ceased, the Convent resumed its
operations under normal condi-
tions.
Sister Louise had two sisters,
so there were three girls in the
family, all leading life of devo-
tion to the religion that they
loved. One of her sisters, Sister
Mary Lydia, has been stationed in
Tampa for the past so years; and
the other sister, Sister Aurelia Of
Jesus, is at Detroit, Michigan.
Sister Louise Gabriel stated be-
fore leaving that she had enjoyed
her work in Key West and had
learned to love the people here.
She would like to return and hopes
her wish may be fulfilled, but that
will depend upon the decision of
Mother Superior.
Sister Louise hes hosts of
friends among the best people of
all denominations in Key West
who would part with her most re-
luctantly, but who would send
with her earnest prayers and all
good wishes.

CONTRACTING COMPANY PERFECTINC
PLANS FOR FRESH WATER PIPE line
MONROE TRUSTEES
HOLD CONFERENCE IN
NEW YORK; LEGAL
MATTERS FIXED


Though not a member of the
board of trustees of the Monroe
water district, j. Otto Kirchhein-
sr, as county official and inter
sstsd citizen, attended some of the
conferences on the pipe line
proposition held at the office of
Attorney John c. Thomson, while
Mr.. Krehhsiner was in New York
ON other business.
These conferences, he said. were
attended by Capt. Clark d.
Stearns. Paul Boysen, Senator
VIM. "A. Malone. MIR. Farnum Of
the J. G. White corporation, also
q representative Of Caldwell &
Company, a bonding concern Of
ksw York, and MIR. Kirchheiner.
Mr.. Kirchheiner says all the le-
gal questions concerning the water
district have been settled and
agreed upon by Sen. Malone, who
j. attorney for Monroe county,
and Attorney Thomson, as to the
valuation Of the bonds proposed
70 be issued by the water commits
sion. The White Company and
New York bankers have asked for
: little additional time in which to
redraw their contracts to present
70 the water commission. This
was readily consented to, and the
contracts are to be first presented
70 Attorney John c. Thomson for
his approval, then forward them
70 Key West for the consideration
and acceptance by the water dis
trict trustees. This they agreed to
immediately, and the new con-
tracts are expected to arrive in
Key West within week or ten
days.
These contracts will require of
the trustees Of the water district a
guarantee Of certain payments to
the j. G. White Company in re-
turn for which that company will
construct and operate a fresh
water supply pipe line from Home
stead 10 Key West. In other
words. the J. G. White Company
proposes to finance the pipe line
proposition with a bond Issue Of
98,750,O00. and they want con-
frsct that Key West and the keys
win guarantee the purchase Of six
hundred million gallons of water
per year at soc per thousand gal
Ions. which would amount to
100000 annually.
Il is believed that the amount
required for consumption IN Key
West, the reservoirs and distribu-
ton system here and for use on
the intervening keys viii be in
excess of the amount for which
the guarantee Is required, so il
Seems to be another safe PROPOSE
fion where the county may never
- called upon to make up the
amount guaranteed. Mr. Kireh-
heiner stated.
However. MIR. Kirchheiner says,
the trustees viii get an expression
from the people on the matter
before entering into contract
shat viii bind The county to the
conditions mentioned.

board of county commissioners.
from New York to Key West.
These gentlemen express them
selves as being pleased with the
progress being made with the
plans for the construction of
these three bridges. AT confer
ence in New York attended by
themselves, Capt. Clark D. Stearns,
Senator VIM. H. Malone and Paul
Boysen, it was brought out by
Mr.. Turner that the bonding con-
eern negotiating for the ten mil
lion dollar bond issue for the
bridges had expressed through
representative the belief that the
ten million dollar issue could be
successfully floated. provided the
commissioners Of Monroe county
would guarantee that the tolls col
lected from the bridges would
equal interest on the bonds. which
would amount to 100000 year,
and agree to make up any amount
Of difference between the tolls
collected and the amount Of the
guarantee. This guarantee. it
was pointed out, would serve as
an assurance to TIE bond holders
that the interest would be paid
when due. II was agreed by those
present at this conference that
Monroe county should make this
guarantee, everyone firmly be-
lieving that the annual tolls would
be very much greater than the
100000 a year guarantee; and
that this being true, the county
would never be called upon to
provide any money Tor bond in
terest.
However, il vas determined. bit.
Kirchheiner stated. that before
any contracts or agreements would
be made that would bind Monroe
county to this guarantee. the con
tract would be put to the people
for vote, and that the action Of
the commissioners would be gov
erned BY the expression Of thu
people at the polls.
This plan met with the approval
Of Mr.. Turner. and he has return
ed TO Key West for the purpose
Of becoming . party to this con
tract. said agreement to -bscoms Of
no value in event the people yots
against the guarantee.
Mr. Turner eft early this msrn
ing for a final inspection Of tas
sites for the proposed bridges. and
win probably return to the city
some time tomorrow.
