VALUABLE PIGS ARE KILLEDBY FIRE Farmer Believes a Tramp Accidentally Set Fire to His Hog House.

Fire, presumably of an incendiary origin, early this morning destroyed a hog house belonging to Nathan T. Wilson, killing twenty-five young pigs and entailing a loss of $500. Wilson lives on the old Starr farm, north of Easthaven. A member of the family saw smoke pouring into his bedroom window, and Immediately raised the alarm. The hog house was blazing furiously and attempts to save the animals were futile. Mr. Wilson believes the lire was the work of a fire bug or a tramp who had slept in the barn and had carelessly thrown a match into the hay after lighting a pipe. Tramps are continually sleeping in the barns on the farm, which are near the railroad. Footprints, believed to be those of the person responsible for the lire were plainly visible in the mud around the pen. A stove has been used by Wilson to keep the house warm through the coldest nights, but this had not been lighted since yesterday morning. The barn is too far away from the railroad tracks to justify the theory that a spark from a passing engine might have been the cause. Help was sought from the city fire department, but Chief Miller told Wilson that it would be of no use for the department to make the run if other buildings were not in danger. Mr. Wilson recently had many of the old hogs moved to another locality and none of them were burned. He considers himself very fortunate in this respect. All the hay and other grain in the house was destroyed. The pigs were of the Hampshire breed and were valued at $80.

SCHULZE The funeral of Mrs. Caroline Schulze, who died in Chicago, will be held Sunday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock from the home of her sister, Mrs. Noah Ryan, S36 North Tenth street. Services will be held at the First English Lutheran church at 2:30 o'clock. Rev. E. G. Howard will have charge. Friends may call any time. BUSINESS COLLEGE Rev. Howard, of the English Lutheran church gave an interesting talk to the students on Thursday morning. He chose as his subject "Social Betterment," and presented it in a very practical way, which was very much enjoyed by all present. Mr. Howard has given this subject quite au extensive study and certainly spoke authoritatively. Mr. L. B. Campbell has just returned from Chicago where he attended the national convention of the Stenotype Users' association. He reports a meeting which was very successful in every way. It was well attended and everybody seemed very much enthused about the results obtained. He also remained to attend the National Private School Managers' association which followed the other meeting. Miss Ethel Uhte has taken a position in the office of the George H. Knollenberg Co. William Haggenberg, who attended the school here last year and who is now employed in the Y. M. C. A. work of Waterloo, Iowa, sent us a very interesting letter this week. He likes this city very much and hopes to return here sometime in the future. Clara Gagen is doing some circular work for the Pilot Motor Car co. Lawrence Strickler, of Hagerstown, entered school this week. Dolls Stuffed With Fortunes. The Bank of France destroys old notes by placing them in a vat and subjecting them to the action of certain corrosive acids. In a few moments the banknotes are reduced to pulp. This pulp is sold to toymakers, who use it for stuffing their less expensive dolls, so that the plaything of a child may be ptuffed with what was once a fortune.

CHILDISH COSTUME. Simplicity, Yet Richness, In This Fur Coat.

OF MOLESKIN AND ERMdE. The little coat of moleskin is matched by a babyish bonnet, and both are trimmed with bands of ermine. A big ermine muff completes the furry daintiness of this small girl. Buttoned boots are worn by all children in the street, and the pictured boots are of white buckskin with ribbed stockings of heavy white silk. Hints Worth Remembering. An excellent way to prevent clothes from freezing to the clothesline is to dip a cloth in strong salt water and wipe the line with it. To restore a waterproof coat dissolve a handful of best gray lime in half a pailful of -water and with this solution wipe the coat at the hardened parts. This should be done at intervals of about four hours. After this treatment a hardened waterproof laid by as useless for years should be equal to new. The frames of old umbrellas or parasols can be used very artistically for creepers in a garden. Just open them, strip off the silk, sharpen the handles to a point and thrust them open into the ground. Modish, Yet Very Simple. The cutaway coat is rea'.ly not a style suitable for the very young girl, but the natty little costume pictured is an exception to this sartorial rule. English worsted in brown and green mixture is the fabric usd. and the GIRLISH SCrX WITH CUTAWAY COAT. cutaway effect is very chic on a slender young girl who carries herself gracefully. The skirt is, of course, short enough to show the natty buttoned walking boots of black patent leather with dull kid uppers. The Grits Ball. No, you don't dance it. Neither do you throw it. Rather it i3 designed to eat. The shell is made of aluminium. The round perforations admit the steam. One cup of crirs or rice is held in it. The grits l-;l) opens on a hinge just as does a tea ball. It is handier and looks nicer than an crdluary bag. CHURCH UNITY TO BE DISCUSSED "The Manifestation of Unity" is the subject of a charge given by tie bishop of Chicago to his clergy last May. It is a wonderful document showing how the subject of church unity is engaging the attention of the leading thinkers of today. The rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church will read this charge on Sunday morning, Dec. 15. Every christian man and woman in Richmond is invited.

WANTS OLD SYSTEM Marketmaster Favors Selling Stalls to Bidders.

"Sell the stalls at the market house and make money for the city and satisfy the market venders," is the advice of Marketmaster John Taylor when asked his opinion as to how the stalls should be let out. The city, according to Taylor, could make $900 by renting ! the stalls. According to the marketmaster the people who sell at the market want to rent their stalls. They hold that their customers would then know where to find them. Under the present system the first vender on the scene gets hi6 choice of stalls. COURT NEWS The Dickinson Trust company, as administrator of the estate of Christian Triik has filed complaint for purchase money and to foreclose vendor's lien against William J. Triik in the Wayne circuit court. The complaint alleges that the defendant is indebted to the estate in the amount of $1,200 which was borrowed October 11, of this year at 6 per cent interest, for purchase money for real estate in Fairview. The plaintiff holds a vender's lien. The petition of R. E. Moore for order to prevent sale of real estate of the estate of Clementina and Ella Gibson was granted by Judge Fox in probate court this morning. OFFICIALS RECEIVE XMAS MONEY Santa Claus, impersonated by City Controller McMahan, made glad the hearts of the city employes today, when he presented them with the first installment of the December salaries and told them to buy presents. About $3,000 was divided among the city officials and employes. It is the custom to pay the December salaries in two installments to give the employes and officials ready cash for the Christmas holidays. ADDITIONAL SOCIETY MARRIAGE ANNOUNCEMENT.

Preparing His Speech. A reply very characteristic of the statesman and diplomat who made it is given in the "Autobiography of Alfred Austin." Lord and Lady Salisbury were among the guests at Hewell i Grange. Lord Salisbury had come to ! speak at a public meeting. On the morning of the day when the speech was to be delivered, seeing Lord Salisbury passing into the study, I said to him: "I suppose you are going to think over what you will say tonight?" "No," he said in his ironical way; "rather to think over what I must not say." To Meet an Emergency. "Madam, have you any old clothes to give away?" "I have a suit belonging to my husband, but I fear it is too big for yon." "Oh. that will be all right! You Just set me out a square meal and watch me eat enough so that I can fill iL"Washingtoa Times.

Dry Cleaning the Hair. Dry cleaning the hair has become so much a part of the toilet that many of its ardent devotees wonder how they ever managed to worry along before the days of the dry shampoo. This vastly popular substitute for soap and water is the special delight of the woman whose hair is inclined to be damp or to become oily a few days after the wet shampoo. A great many women find weekly shampooing is injurious to their scalp in that it causes the hair to fall out in great quantities. As a rule, no amount of washing will injure either the scalp or the hair any more than it injures the face, providing, of course, that the purest of soap is combined with strictly soft water, the scalp and hair are rinsed thoroughly until not a vestige of the soap remains, and a softening lotion or tonic is applied to the scalp immediately afterward. This tonic has the same effect upon the scalp as an application of a skin food has on the face after a soap and water bath, and is equally as important if the hair is to be kept in good condition. It is not enough to apply the tonic, but it must be well massaged into the scalp with the tips of the fingers in order that every pore may be nourished and refreshed. Afterward, a good brushing to bring out the sheen of the hair and to distribute its natural oils is essential. To cleanse the hair thoroughly it should be brushed successively from partings made in all directions on the scalp. Between each stroke, dust and foreign particles, such as flakes of dandruff, should be removed from the brush so as not to communicate them to the next part If the brush becomes dark and oily, wash it out before proceeding further. It may be necessary to use a clean brush a half dozen times during the stroking, so that if you have more than one brush you can leave one to dry while the other is in use. Draw a comb through the brush each time it is run through the hair, afterward wiping the comb clean with a towel. The Beauty of Clean Teeth. Not only is it necessary to strive constantly to preserve the natural beauty of the teeth, but it is equally important to increase their whiteness and general appearance by every remedy or aid science and students of dentistry are able to discover. For keeping the teeth in good condition chewing dry toast, hard bread or crackers is recommended. Coarse foods tend to give a stability to the "grinders" which keeps them from early decay. For the purpose of dislodging particles of food, removing deposits and other substances a good toothbrush is indispensable. The brush with medium soft bristles is best, for the reason that unyielding bristles injure and Inflame the gums, causing them to shrink and recede. In stroking do not make the mistake of drawing the brush across the teeth without alternating this action with a careful up and down stroke. Drawing the brush up and down removes particles of food that lodge tightly in crevices between the teeth. Cover the gums as well as the teeth during this cleaning process. Gentle stroking Is best for the gums. If they bleed rinse them thoroughly with a healing mouth wash, so they will gradually become Invigorated and hardened, thus aiding in the fight against decaying teeth. One of the most universally popular Ingredients in dentrifices is powdered chalk. It is inexpensive, harmless and effective, its chief value being the neutralizing of acids in the mouth. Among the simple remedies always at hand none can be recommended more highly than common salt A strong solution of salt water is a beneficial mouth wash, and dry salt placed on the toothbrush cleanses the teeth. Borax is useful in that it tends to remove unpleasant odors from the breath. Dissolve two to four ounces of borax in a pint of hot water and add a half teaspoonful of tincture of myrrh or spirits of camphor. To Remove Moth Patches. To remove moth patches from the skin apply a solution of common baking soda to the patches with a soft cloth or camel's hair brush, says a writer. Repeat the process several times a day for three days. Allow the soda to dry on. then cleanse the skin of the face with a bran bath. Repeat the treatment if necessary. Sunshine is the best possible disinfectant. The rays of the sun penetrate and disintegrate organic substances. Let It flood all the rooms of the house whenever It is possible. Lay the bedding in its direct rays for an hour every bright morning, and there will be a delightfully fresh, sweet smell to the linen. Open all closets frequently and let the son warmed air circulate through them. Dark corners that have a stuffy odor are dangerous to the health of the household. Skin Food. To keep the hkin from becoming loose and baggy, resulting in wrinkles and "crow's feet." boil three ounces of pearl barley in a pint of water until the gluten is extracted. Strain and add tincture of benzoin, twenty-five Iropfl being the correct amount. WINDOW DISPLAY There is now on display in the window of W. H.

IS LEADER Of Chicago Band of Auto Bandits. (National News Association) j ishly dressed woman the automobile I bandits who have terrorized certain j sections of Chicago, committed their fourteenth robbery within a week last night and today Police and Detectives have redoubled their efforts to catch the thieves. The bandits rode up to the display window of William Mellish s jewelry store in East Sixty-third street, smashed the window and took jewels valued at $1,000. Besides the woman there were three men in the car. They drove up to the place leisurely. The woman and two men got out. The woman and one of the men smashed the window. The other man waved a big revolver and kept back the crowd attracted by the crash. The man who rifled the window cut his hand. The woman screamed and the three jumped into the car and the chauffeur drove away at top speed. Commercial Club Notes Bv c. w. j. Mr. L. B. Bevier, who is here forming an organization to support the Oeean-to-Oeean Highway movement, is meeting with very satisfactory success. It seems that the people litre fully appreciate the great advantage it would be to Richmond to have the government build an ideal highway acros the continent over the Old National Road. Naturally Richmond would be very anxious for the reason that this is the old historical highway to the West over which the slow plodding wagon train formerly wended its way. The Committee on the State Penal Farm movement is showing a great i deal of activity in its state-wide cam paign in placing this important measure before the people of the state. The Committee was presented last Monday at the office of the State Board ot Charities preso; "'ng the matter to the Special Commifj.on appointed by the Governor and the commission appointed by the State Board of Charities. Senator Netterville has been sounding the cry of economy indicating that the state funds were depleted so that it may be impossible to establish the State Penal Farm, but we would respectfully remind the Senator this is an economy movement, saving both i men and money. The committee is very confident that with the establishment of the State Penal Farm the lessening of expenses in county jails would many times offset the expense incurred in the management of the farm to say nothing at all of the humanitarian reason. One of the great troubles that men have to overcome in this age is the disposition to measure benefits in dollars and not in men. The Commercial Club had an old fashoned town meeting last Monday evening. This is just that kind of meetings that do much good. It gives an opportunity to the individual to ex- ! press his views before his fellow cit izens. The club is representative of all the various elements of the city, and while nt may seem that different sections and different elements might have different interests, these organizations are only secondary to the general good of the whole city, which is the primary principal for which the club stands. If we were going to add some new departments ot the Club we would 'suggest an Agricultural Department in which we could secure membership among the farmers, and I an Automobile Department in which automobile owners might have an organization. The reason we suggest an Automobile organization is because other cities have automobile associations that work together for better roads in conjunction wth the A. A. A., and we believe that such a department in the Commercial club would be beneficial to the city. Another thing the club should have is a larger number of shop men so that it would be possible for them to express their views on matters of public interest at meetings and through committees. The new Directory of the Club members will be issued in a few days and will show over 600 members which is quite a compliment to the activities of the committee on membership. Folger P.
