AN UNLUOKY STORE. A Building In Which in' a Postoflloe Again 5 Entered by Robbers and Burned. COLD SPRING 'HARBOR, N. Y., Nov. 21. —-This villagewas aroused by aloud ex- plosion followed by an alarm of fire early today. Firemen and citizens tumbled out of their beds and quickly the word Was passed that burglars had broken into the store of Seaman 8: Bennett, in which the postoflice is located, and after looting the place'had set fire to the building. ’ The first persons to reach the scene of the fire were John Pendergast and James J. Oakes. They Were on their way home when startled by the explosion. As the store and postofiice had been rob- bed several times, both men concluded at once that burglars were at work there again. They made a dash for the building, and reaching it found the door open and saw the flames inside the place. In the distance they observed the forms of two men hurry- ing away. Both Pendergast and Oakes pursued the two men, but the latter had such a start that they soon distanced their pursuers and disappeared. When they felt certain that the supposed thieves were beyond capture, Pendergast started on a run for the home of Mr. Seaman, while Oakes turned in an alarm of fire. Others had heard the explosion and were on'the scene while the pursuit of the bur- glars was going on. The local fire department worked with energy, but was unable to check the flames, which soon were beyond control, and the firemen abandoned the building and. turn- ed their attention to saving surrounding prbp’e'i'ty. They succeeded after hard work in sav- ing two buildings that stood near the one belonging to Seaman & Bennett. The fire was witnessed by nearly every resident of the village. The store had been destroyed by fire three times previously and robbed five times. The entire stock was lost in the fire, together with the postoffice fixtures and all mail matter remaining uncalled for in the office and a large number of letters ready to go out in the first mails today. hIayor of Hot Springs Acquitted.

York for the relief of sufiering hu- manity,- ‘and stately edifices, replete with- every appliance which medical skill and science can devise, rear their fronts in proud consciousness of the good work done within their walls. But there is-an institution in that city which caters to dogs. The surgeon in charge has his kennels full of suffer- ing animals. In a lofty and well-ventilated room on the ground floor are kennels con— taining (logs that are suffering from contagious diseases. This ward is practically the quarantine ward and its inmates are too sick to do more than fcchly wag their tails in re- sponse to cheery greetings. On the second floor are wire cages, where are mastitis, Japanese spanicls. St. Ber- nards. collics, setters and bull terriers. Several saucy fox terriers prance around in their cages yelpingly and beseech freedom. One of the set- ters, however, does not prance around. The “poor old chap” is recOv- ering from an operation for the remov- al of a big tumor which weighed four pounds. The tumor was on his back, and the operation lasted for nearly half an hour. In another cage is a cocker spaniel, who was shot seven times by a drunk- en man in a saloon in Hobokcn. The spaniel playfully bit the man, and the man seized the little dog by the neck and pumped seven bullets at him. They, however, glanced off the dog's head, inflicting scalp wounds only. The dogs in the hospital do not look like invalids. On the contrary, they are hearty and lusty, but appearances are deceitful. The mange is the chief disease treated, and it is stuborn in its resistance. Follicular mange is the dis- ease, and it takes time and trouble to cure. Sometimes some poor dog can- not be cured of his troubles, so he is mercifully killed. A dose of morphine is placed in his midday meal, and when he gets .drowsy a hyperdomic in- jection of prussic acid is given to him. The dogs at the hospital lead a very regular life. The convulescents break- fast at 7 O’clock a. m., have luncheon at noon, and supper at (5 o'clock. The real invalids are dicted, and their meal hours are naturally irregular. One of the features of the hospital is an exercising machine. This is built on the-treadmill pattern. Domino, :1 Caniche poodle, is in love with this machine, and never loses an opportu- nity to race upon it. One night the dog traveled about a league on the rolling board, and yelped with disap— pointment when an attendant yanked him off. VANITY OF A BEAUTY. Renliniscences of a Blast Charming Plii‘la— delpliia Coquette. Stories of celebrated beauties are circulated long after the beauty has become only a remembrance, and are often as interesting as anecdotes of great geniuses. They are quite as likely to show the frailty of human nature, says the Boston Herald. “My Uncle John,” says a relative of one of the people (interested in this story, “was a childhood friend of the beautiful Miss Emily Schomberg of Philadelphia. She was a wonderfuiiy beautiful woman. I have seen painted portraits of her, and nothing said in praise of her beauty could be too strong. My uncle as a young man went to Paris to study his profession. and‘coming home brought with him a young Spaniard with whom he had been acquainted. It was at a ball when the Spaniard was first intro- duced to Miss Schomberg. She was one of her own most appreciative ad- mirers. and received as her due the compliments of the young foreigner, which were made in the efiusive manner of his country. ‘Bring your friend to call, J ohn." she said, gracious- ly, tapping my uncle on the shoulder with a fan. ‘He says I’m beautiful. But even you, who have known me so long, do not appreciate my chief beauty. Come tomorrow morning at 11 o’clock and see if I am not right.‘ “The young men were on hand promptly. The servant ushered them into the reception room, where the young beauty sat. The meaning of her somewhat enigmatical remark was made plain. The young lady did not rise to receive her guests, and as they approached they saw two small bare feet resting upon the deep, sapphire—blue velvet cushion, Which brought out more fully their delicate beauty. The skin was like exquisite white satin, and the nails like pol- ished scashells. They were very beau- tiful, my uncle said—absolutely with- out blemish. Only a woman inordi- nately vain could have given such an' unconventional exhibition.” Children Tree Two Bears. Archie Paige, 12 years old, and his sister Nora, 14 years old. who live in the hills about two miles back of Westbrookville, a hamlet northeast of Port Jervis, N. Y., went in the woods on Saturday. Their dog started a mother bear and her cub. The dog chased the bears a long way, worried them, and finally drove them up a tree. The children had no weapons, but they followed the dogs and enjoyed the sport. house of Mr. Nation. on whose lands the bears were treed, and asked him to come out with his gun, but Nation paid no attention to their request. Night came on, and Archieand Nora remained on guard with their dog, which kept up its barkin". “’hen morning dawned the trio- were still there, and the bear and cub still sat in the high branches of the tree. They guL word to Westbrookvillc event- ually, and John Brown, an old hunter won. out and shot the bears.» . They went to the' farm. Big Money For Brulsorl. BOSTON, Nov. 20.—The offer of $25,000 by President Gcnslinger of the Bohemian Sporting club for a 20 round boxing match between Corbett and Fitzsimmons was topped by Jimmy Colville, a sporting man of this city, who offered Corbett $26,000 in behalf of a New York club, whose name he would not disclose. Marble “’orks Damaged. BRATTLEBORO, Vt, Nov. 20.—The mon- umental marble works of W. A. Dutton, in this city, were gutted by fire last night. The loss will amount to $5,000, owing to damage done to a number of monuments in different stages of development. U Saxton’s Bereavement. ROCHESTER, Nov. 20.——A special to The Post-Express, from Clyde announces the death of Mrs. Helen, M. Saxton, wife of Sea Signiling by Flags. The flags to be hoisted at one time in signaling at sea never exceed four. It is an interesting arithmetical fact that, with eighteen various colored flags, and never more than four at a time, no fewer than 78,642 signals can be given—Cincinnati Inquirer. True in Both Cases. ‘ “There are many stars that are never seen,” said the astronomer, re— flectively. . , “Yesrand there are a lot that neVer ought to be seen, too,” returned the theatrical manager, with some em- phasis.
