j CUMBERLAND VALLEY FIRE DESTROYS DROPS DEAD AT SUMMER HOME STREET CORNER Price Cottage at Bucna Vista Springs Burned With Val uable Furnishings Waynesboro, Pa., March 22. —The first serious fire since the opening of Buena Vista Springs Hotel on the Blue Bidge, cast of Waynesboro, in the summer of 1893, occurred short ly before midnight Wednesday night ulien the large and splendid cottage of Miss Sydney Price, of Baltimore, was burned to the ground, presum ably caused by an incendiary. The entire structure with all contents, in cluding much valuable mahogany furniture, was burned, nothing re maining but the chimneys and foun dation walls. The loss on building and furnishings is not short of $20,- 000. The fire broke out about 11.15 o'clock and was early discovered by W. E. Ilarbough, caretaker of the Jiotel and grounds. The cottage stood to the east of the tramway leading from the hotel to Cascade, and about SOOyards from the hotel. It was built by Miss Price eighteen years ago and was one of the first of the large cluster of cot tages adjacent to the big resort. Miss Price and her sister, Mrs. Josiah Johnston, also of Baltimore, have occupied the cottage ever since it was erected. The house contained about ten rooms and all conveniences. The furnishings were exceptionally rich :ind elegant, much of the furniture being mahogany and including many rare antiques and precious heirlooms, which can never be replaced. Chautauqua to Be Held at Mechaniesburg This Year Meohanipslmrg, Pa., March 22. Last evening Dr. Paul M. Pearson, of Swarthniore, Chautauqua director, held a length conference with the guarantors of the Mechanicsburg <"hautauqua to determine whether it should bo held this year or not. At a meeting some time ago. on account of war conditions, the guarantors practically decided not to have the Affair if they could be released from the contract. An important reason for the decision was that all the prominent guarantors were also in terested in and working hard for the sled Cross and Y. M. C. A. drives and for all other war fund work. Mr. Pearson's visit was to induce the guarantors to reconsider their decision and after a long discussion, lasting until after 11 o'clock, they decided to hold the Chautauqua dur ing the summer. Mr. Pearson per sonally subscribed for 100 tickets, amounting to S2OO. Important Real Estate Sale at Mechanicsburg Mechanicsburg, Pa., March 22.

Trappers Realize Big Money These Days Allentown, Pa.—Although T.ehigh county is so thickly settled that fur boarlng animals are much scarcer lhan ever before, the price of furs, on account of the war, has jumped to such figures that the men engaged in trapping have never made so much money. Several years ago the boys who trapped muskrats were glad to get 15 cents for the skin, muskrats now command all the way from 00 to 85 < ents. Many women do not know that when they buy a Hudson seal < oat for S2OO to $250 they get musk rat caught in New York, Pennsylva nia or Delaware, which three states furnish the finest muskrat skins in the world. A boy from the lower end of the county several days ago brought to Allentown half a dozen skunk skins. He imagined them worth possibly $5, and was astound ed when they realized him $5 apiece.

When you darken your hair with S'.'ge Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussy and troublesome. At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-to use preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients, calleif "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound." You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through you hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and, after an other application or two, your hair becomes beautifully darkened, glossy ar.d luxuriant. • Gray, faded hair, though no dis grace. is a sign. of old age, and as we all desire a youthful and attrac tive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger. This ready-to-use preparation is a delightful toilet requisite and not a medicine. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease. months ago designated Waynesboro as tlie place for holding this year's convention in response to an invita tion extended at the last convention at Hagerstown. This is the centen nial of Waynesboro's incorporation as a borough and the firemen of the Cumberland Valley want to cele brnte the event. Vl IWBOagjaOJgqnoagi btore Upens 8:30 A.
