Almost a Conflagration.
Almost a conflagration occurred on
Wednesday forenoon of last week at
j Dr. Heilman's residence. As Mrs.
Heilman was in the act of lifting the
teakettle from an open gas cook stove
the flames caught a loose canton flan
nel sack she was wearing, and in an
instant spread over her right arm and
side and flashed up before her face.
She quickly threw her apron over the
flame and by means of vigorous rub
bing and slapping succeeded in exting
uishing it before any serious damage
was done. Only for the extreme pres
ence of mind of the good ladv and
| prompt action, as a second's delay or
an attempt to run and call for help, it
would have resulted in loss of life and
destruction of property. We, with all
the many friends of this estimable lady
. and family, are greatly pleased at her
success in extinguishing the fire.
Farmers' Institute at Driftwood.
The Farmers' Institute for Cameron

Electric Light Again.
Extract from a letter from the Bur
gess of Tunkhannock, to the Burgess
of Emporium.
Tunkhannock Borough,
W. D. SAMPSON, Burgess.
December 19,1900.
E. O. BARDWELT.,
Emporium, Pa.
DEAR Slß:— Yours of 13th received,
enclosing slip of inquiries which 1 have
tilled as best I coula. Any other mat
ters I can help you in I am at your
service
In lighting your town do not make
the mistake we have made, of allowing
some outsider to furnish lights.
BUILD YOUR OWN PLANT BY
ALL MEANS.
Yours,
W. D. SAMPSON.
An Open Letter to Dr. Bardwell on
Electric Light Question.
DEAR DOCTOR:—
I admire you as the only advocate of
electric light with courage to sign his
name to any statement. Now won't
you please tell us why you don't give
us some figures besides your own.
Why did you not give us the figures
from Mr. Sampson as part of his letter?
It is figures we want of actual work
done in other towns. Your bookkeep
er works for you for SSO per year, and ,
you put down the repairs to a3O arc 1
plant at S3O per year. When I left ,
school at Williamsport I took a book- i
keeping course at night school and got •
a job keeping books for an insurance .
agent for a year and a half, for §25 per ,
mouth, and thought I was working i
dirt cheap, and as to repairs; the man
who pays very little for repairs makes ,
very little money.
Please note the figures furnished by
the secretary of council:
Titusville, each light, $35 00 net
Watsontown, each light, 48 00 net
Dußois, each light, 05 00 net
Milton, each light, 72 00 net
or an average cost of $55.00 per year
for each light after deducting all in
come for lights sold to the people. At
this rate 30 lights for us would cost
$1,650 to be paid by taxes besides the
interest and payments on the bonds.
Dear Doctor, the Council will "per
haps" have more figures for you next
week. Respectfully,
JOSIAH HOWARD.

Florida Oranges.
The freezes of 1894 and 1895 killed
most of Florida's orange trees down to
the roots, but did not kill th« roots, and
sprouts since 1895 have grown into
bearing trees. So general is this fact
that Florida's orange crop this winter
is expected to be about 1,000,000 boxes,
and will be twice as much next year.
There is no orange equal to the Florida
orange in flavor and delicousness, so
that it commands a good price. This
year's crop will bring, it is believed,
about $1.75 a box. In this case the
profit may be as much as in 1893 4, when
the crop was 6,000,000 boxes. Califor
nia oranges are good, but the Florida
orange is better. According to Louis
ville Courier Journal "the Florida or
ange is the queen of the fruits. Ponce
de Leon searched the peninsula over
for the fabled fountain of youth with
out success, but a wiser man would
have been content with the first orange
grove. The tropics produce nothing
else so delicate, so refreshing, so pleas
ing to the eye, so seductive to the nos
srils and so ravishing to the taste."

ing grapes for Sneer's wines. Head all
about it. Excellent for weakly persons
and the aged particularly for females.
