Tho houso was a double one, and was occupied by tbo fam ily of Mr. Mason on tho west side, and bad been occupied by Mary Irvln on the cast sldo for some time, until recently, when early all of her turnlturo but a cook stovo was removed. It Is apparent that the Ore started on tho Irvln sldo. In tho back room on tho first floor In a closet coals wcro found lying on tho floor, somo of which had burned through tho floor. Flro evidently started also at the foot of the stairway, as tho door was burnod off, and the steps entirely destroyed. Tho cook stove was carried from tho room after the alarm was given, and It had hot coals lu it. Tho windows of tho room in which tho cook stovo stood were covered, one of them having tho shutters closed, and a woman's waterproof cloak tackod over the Inside, and the other two being covered with oil cloth curtains, tacked down. Who started tho flro is not known, but that somebody did It, with the intention of burning the building, is a certainty. The firemen did noblo work, and saved the building in part, notwithstanding the high wind which prevailed. It was this that left exposed tho evident preparations for incendiarism that were discovered on a close examination of the premises after the fire. Somebody entered tho Irvln side and built a Ore la tho stovo, and then threw hot coals In tho closet, and also at the foot of tho stairs.

He placed the apple at the bead of tho list of all desirable fruits. He had a number of twigs from trees affected by various in sects, and showed by them how these ene mies of the fruit grower did their work and how they might bo thwarted, and urged united efforts to overcome them. As whole it was a good paper. Several questions were asked, and answered by the essayist. Attera brief discussion ot this paper, Phillip Harris, of Lime Ridge, was called, who read, "The Profit of Fruit Culture compared with other Farming." Ue gave careful comparisons ot his experience with fruit and other crops for three ycai hlch interested tho audlenco and proved what could bo done in tho cultivation ot fruit with proper care.

Discussion ot the subject was poctponcd and Dr. Frcar was given tho floor. He gave a clear, practical talk upon tbo "Eco nomies of Fertilizers." Uls position chemist to the State Board of Agriculture gives him rare advantages for obtaining a thorough knowledge of fertilizers. Ho stated that soil could not bo mado wholly unproductive, and his argument proved it li prooi were necessary, mere is no doubt but that the farmers who listened to his lecture were Interested and benefit, cd. Closo attention was given him for over an hour and when ho closed a num bcr of questions were answered by him, The audience was then treated to music, after which N. W.

This was followed by "The Ups and Downs of tho Poultry Business," by Wm. T. Creasy of Catawlssa. Tho paper was largely statistical. Though ho showed In stances in which thero was loss in tho busi ness, his paper went to provo that poultry was profitable undor careful treatment. Tho choir rendered another plcco of music and then A. P. Young was called upon to toll "How to Mako tho Farm Pay." He advanced the theory which so many farmers adopt, viz : that farmers aro sub ject to unjust, unequal taxation.

What care you when we take account of stock, or whether our stock is too big or too srnall or for any one of the many points that touch our private interests? It would be scant courtesy to your intelligence to parade such motives for any business move of ours. Therefore we simply say from day to day as we seri ate our stock into new Bargains that our great goods-controlling power makes it impossible and special conditions make it desi rable to create prices that will move a Million Dollars' worth of Merchandise this month. And so we're doing it by price power, that's all. Never before was our power of retail leadership so completely demonstrated. It shows that confidence in our statements is stronger to day than ever. The interest rises as the Jan uary Sale lengthens. Many questions come to us daily: the one most frequently repeated is," Who is losing the money?" Cannot stop to answer that. The Sale is going,fgoing, going on. Wouldn't you prefer that we tell you what the Bargains are rather thanjhow they came to be? THE ROVAI, ARCAMVH.
