History of the fire.
M 4 > The flre which cremated over $10,000
5 worth of Drugs and Patent Medicines
5M
M started on our second floor at about 8:30 :
last Monday morning , January 16th. James
Jameson , the porter , was sent to fill the
dispensing bottle with Columbian Spirits
( Wood Alcohol ) from a barrel of about 28
gallons capacity , containing at that tlmo
S or 10 gallons of the spirits. He had re
moved the hung from top of barrel ( which
laid on the floor ) and was In the act ot
sucking on the rubber siphon to make It
O
u "start , TV hen the vapors , which were prob
ably present In the barrel , escaped , as It |
n Is supposed , and ignited rrom nn open gas
n Jet a few feet rnvay , producing violent com
bustion. The room was In flames In a
moment , and two young ladles who were
n
working within a few feet , beat a hasty
I
retreat and losing their hats and wraps In
5 the llames. The \sso of a hand extinguisher
I had no effect on the flames and the flre de
partment was at once called. Chief Rcdcll
as usual did himself proud , and it Is a
phenomenal circumstance that while the
flames -wore so fierce as to destroy , almost
W
O totally , everything on the second floor , they
n
iv ore kept entirely from the first floor and
tlio third floor TVOS only damaged by heat
nnd smoke but not by flames.

TOM EDISON AS A NEWSBOY
His Experience with Crowds Sacking Details
of Bhilob's ' Battle ,
WAS AROUSED BY A TELEGRAM
biiliseaueiil Carper Miniieil by tlir Kf-
Jfect ot llio McHHime Soatciilr
of n MrctliiK with
LMltor Moray.
Glvo this boy all of the papers he
vv ints on credit. W. F. S.
On the wall of the Edison laboratory In
Orange , N. J. , the above curious sentence
Is named. The writing Is crabbcJ and the
paper on which the words are written Is re
garded with veneration by every ono In the
laboratory , because It was ono of the things
that led Thomas A. Edison to become an In-
\entor. Naturally , tfjero Is an Interesting
tale behind It , nnd the other day Mr. Edison
told It to nn. old friend who called upon him
to talk over tno days of his youth. Hero
uro the facts as ho icmembered theic :
"During the war I used to sell papers
on the railroad between Detroit and Port
Huron. Many of the towns along the way
Jiad no local nows-dealors and the people
used to come down to the station every day
and buy the papers of the train boy. I
used to get around to the newspaper office
Ijeforo daylight every day and BO , from loafIng -
Ing around the composing room , I go : to
Q now several of the printers. We used to
laugh and Joke with one another nnd wo be
came pretty good friends. Ono morning I
( went Into the olllco as usual and found
every ono In a state of excitement. In-
Btead of Joking the printers were running
about getting the takes or putting them lu
the forms and the make-up men were stand
ing on tiptoe around the stones ju&tlf > lng
the t > poltli ' a nervousness which they did
not usually show. I asked several what was
tlio matter , but they paid no attention to
inc. I couldn't understand It. Finally I
grabbed ono fellow by the apron as he
started for the stone nnd jelled nt him to
tell me what the trouble was. Ho jerked
away lu a moment and said :
IMUon lU-ur * the Urpnt Nciva.
" 'Don't bother me , boy. Battle ot Shllohl
Ten thousand killed ! ' Then ho rushed down
the room , his heelless slippers slapping the
floor as he went ,
"So a battle had been fought. U meant
that the paper was putting out an extra
edition of war uewa and that It would bo
late. I walked down stairs slowly , without
thinking very deeply of the subject , when
euddenly the realization of the magnitude of
the affair rushed over me and I ( topped on
the landing with a Jerk. Ten thousand men
Xllledl Why , the news would create a
utorm of excitement. No wonder the print
ers hurried. I jumped down stairs three
Mops at a tlmo aud rushed around to the
telegraph olllce. I knew the operator at
that station and I had an idea.
" 'Hello ! ' ho snld.
" 'Hello , ' said I. 'I wont to send a tele
gram. '
" 'Well , writ * It out. ' said he.
" 'Hut , ' I said , 'thla can't be written.
Von vUH have to fix It for me. Here's the
point : Ton thousand men. have been killed
nt a place called Shlloh. It will be In the
j > aper this rooming nnd everybody will
want U. Now , will you telegraph these
words to all the etatlons along the line and
get the operators to paste them up 'Battle
of Sblloh fought. Tcu thousand killed. ' It
you will do It I will glvo you a morning
paper every day for three months. '
"You eee , I hadn't any money and I
had to reach the fellow In some way. These
papers would save him qulto an amount at
the rate of 5 cents a day. Dut ho hesitated ,
eo to clinch the matter I added , 'and I will
give you Harper's magazine for a year. '
"That settled It. Ho agreed to do It , and
I know that If he kept his promise I would
have customers enough waiting for me
along the line. Then I went over and saw
the fellow who gave out the papers to the
carriers every day. I said to him : 'I'll
take 1,000 papers this morning ! ' He fairly
gasped at me.
" 'You'll take a thousand papers ! Well ,
jou may lay down $20 right now. And
you will be lucky If jou get five hundred.
Papers "w 111 be scarce today. '
"Well , that staggered me. They had nl-
waja trusted ono before that , but I suppose
the size of the pile and the news cf the
battle mode him etop short. Ho had no
jurisdiction , except In a small way , I sup
pose. But I was completely discouraged.
Some ono else -would get the be'tieflt of my
advertising. I walkej away In the early
morning , wondering why some things never
seem to work out right. I passed around
by the door ofthe editorial office , which
was 'puro luck , for I did not notice where
I was walking. Upstairs the editor of the
paper probably 'was at work on his leaders.
At that time the editor of the Detroit Free
Press -nas W , T. Storey , a fearless writer
and a good newspaper man , but a martinet
of the moat cross-grained school. Ills as
sociates approached him at ordinary times
with fcir and trembling and now , -\vlth the
rush of the morning upon him , he probably
would 'bo ' worse than a bear. But he vvas
my last hope , to I went up the stairs and
knocked at his door. I cot no answer , but
I could eco a light Inside , BO I knocked
again. No answer. Then I opened the
door. He was sitting at a desk on the
opposite eldo of the room. His back was to
ward me , and h was scribbling away for
dittr life.
" 'Mr. Storey ! ' I said. I received no
answ cr.
" 'Mr. Storey ! ' I said again , louder this
time. He paid not the slightest attention ,
to me. Apparently I did not exist as far as
ho was concerned.
"But I had made up ray mind what to
Biy to him as I came upstairs , and I In
tended to say It , BO I walked over nnd
around the desk and stood directly oppo
site to him. Ho did not look up.
" 'Mr. Storey , ' I said ns firmly as I could ,
'I am a newspaper boy. I bell your paper on
the trans up to Port Huron. The battle of
A NEW PORTRAIT OF THOMAS A. EDISON.
P Uoh hn been fought and I have adver
tised It along the line. Now they won't
trust mo for a lot of papers. What will I
do about It ? '
Hi-milt of the A | ) | > enl ,
"Ho never said a word ; ho never even
looked up. Ho simply reached for a blank
sheet of paper and wrote :
"Give this boy oil the papers he wants on
credit. W. P. S. "
"Then he went on with his leader writing
and paid no more attention to mo , not oven
when I thanked him.
"I showed the note to the delivery man ,
who simply whistled now. I got them onto
the train and wo got awny on time , after
all.
"Now , It Is curious how these things stick
In one's memory. I can remember very well
the crowd that waited at ( ho first place "o
stopped. The people were terribly excited.
They wanted these papers faster than I
could give them out. There wereEO many
waiting that I could not serve them all by
the tlmo the train pulled out. It gave me
another Idea. I raised the prlco to 10 cents
when wo reached the next place and I Bold
them nt fast as I could nt that. I got rid
of some hundreds of pipers at the flrst three
or four places. Further on several men
offerccl mo 25 cents , and they were so eager
that I made the nearly fatal mistake of get
ting down among them. Well , you never
saw such a mob. They knocked tno about
shamefully and I had to fight my way back
to the train In tlmo to get on before it
pulled out. Then It grew worse os we
went further and moro people were up to
hear the HOWS , and the thought that the
train might pull out at any moment always
made them crazy to bo waited on. These
telegram did their work well. Why , when
we pulled Into Port Huron two-thirds of my
stock was gone.
Ilnttle of the Saml Pile.
where the train entered the out
skirts of the town there was a big sand pile.
In selling papers In that city I never usel
to rldo Into the regular station. The en
gineer would slow up on the curve near the
sand olio and I used to jump oft and work
my way up through the town , jelling the
news as I went. I did not yell any news
this day. It Eoems that some persons must
have known about my habit of jumping , for
when we pulled around the curve there vvas
nn enormous mob watting. Why , I never BW
the town turn out so many people. At first
I did not think they were waiting for me ; I
thought there was some celebration on hand.
But I knew what they wanted a mlnuto
afterward. When I jumped down on the
sand they gave one great yell and came for
mo all together. I was frightened and I
think I could have run away If I had had
time to think , but they closed In on me on
all sides and I couldn't get away. The
crush was something terrible. They
screamed at me and pulled me , they tore
my clothes and fought ono another to get to
me. They did not even allow me to sell
the papers In the regular way. I did no :
have to take advantage of the situation
and raise the price. They put It up for
me. Men thrust 25 cents , CO cent-notes ,
Jl and 2 Into my face and my pockets and
dragged papers away from me. Some of
them would get a. paper and then have to
flght for It afterward. It was fiendish , and
they still kept It up after the papers were
all gone nnd I stood there with my hands
and pockets full of money. Why , I never
got off the sand pile and I vvas a sight when
they got through.
"Well , when I pulled m > self together
and pinned up the rents so I could go Into
town and counted my money I found I was
about ? 1CO ahead on the day. I went back
and paid my bill at the paper office , and
the money , well , I did things with that , too.
But what * as more to the point , I saw
that all that happened had really resulted
from these telegrams. I thought If the
telegraph would do such a wonderful thing
there must bo something In It worth study
ing. I did study It , and that practically Is
what led mo Into the business of Inventing. "
UlN I'aiiiful III under.
Chicago Tribune : After a long and tire
some wrangle over the admlsslblllty of the
question the attorney for the dc-fetiso turned
to the shorthand reporter.
"I will ask you to read that question over
again. "
The reporter , who had been Bqulbbllng aim
lessly during the argument , picked up a pad
of paper that lay before him nnd absentmindedly -
mindedly read :
"At the tlmo this < ook place did you O.
my darling Nettle , you don't know how I
miss you "
Then ho blushed , hastily picked up the
other pad and read the question In full ,
while the lawyers tittered and the big Jury
man in the end scat shook his fat sides and
stuffed his handkerchief Into his mouth.

The changes In the style ot men's hats
from season to season seem very slight to
those who do-not closely follow the fasti Ions ,
yet the smallest fraction of an Inch In the
width or curl of the brim means a great
deal to the Initiated.
The cronn of the correct silk hat this
winter curves but slightly. The width of
the brim varies from one and en-eighths
of an Inch to two and one-elgtith Inches , ac
cording to the size and st > le , for there are
three distinct patterns In "toppers. " The
army hat , which Is quite popular. The crown
Is almost Identical TV 1th that of the army
model , but the brim Is very much narrower
and Is curved slightly at the sides. The
ribbons on these hats are always narrow ,
\arylng from half an Inch or less to an Inch
and a quarter. The crown of the gray soft
hat also bears a resemblance to the popular
army shape , and the rim Is sometimes
stitched Instead of being bound. It Is a
trlflo too early In the weason to tell wliat
the styles of light hats for the spring will
be , but the best hatters express the opinion
that tUo spring soft bats will all show , la
some degree , the Influence of what Is called
the army shape.
Aimong the gloves of the season Is one
In Iron gray suede , which looks very drossy
on a hand that Is not too large. Gray In
almost any shade Is a "big color , " and a
large hand always looks very much better
In tan than In gray.
The Castor gloves , which were so popu
lar a while ago , are still worn , though some
what less than formerly. Broad stitching
on the bick has almost disappeared from the
best glovas , and the fashion at present calls
for unobtrusive stitching In a shade slight/ !
darker than the glove Itbelf or In white.

The New York tailors are now showing
large lines of materials for fancy trousers.
A few of these are rather sporty looking , but
by far the greater number are quiet de
signs In hairline stripes Of these stripe's '
there la an almont endless varlsty In at
least a score of different shades and com
binations. The favorite material has ft sof
gray ground with white or blue hairlines
about a quarter of an Inch apart. Then
there Is another pattern very much In favo
that has a bluish gray ground with a dark
blu hairline , and another with a
blue ground nnd a black hairline. Some
times the lines are ns much aa half an Inch
apart , but these patterns are not so much
In favor as the narrower stripes. I i '
In the cut of trousers this season there
are few chingcs to record. They are still r ' '
worn comfortably loose and only moderately *
long , without any noticeable llaro at the
bottom , the difference In the measurements /
at the knee and the bottom being only about
an Inch. f
I o-'ked a well known tailor whether the
fashion , lately reported from Paris , of creas
ing the trousers down the sides Instead of
down the front , was likely to gain headway
here , and he declared emphatically that such .
an Innovation would never bo adopted by
well dressed men In America.
