Tuesday, busied herself tidying up the kitchen. With a coal oil rag Mrs. Dreyfus started to brighten up the kitchen stove. There was a sudden puff and the cloth was aflame. Mrs. Dreyfus was bending low over the stove and the blaze spread to her garments. She ran fnto an adjoining room and throwing herself on a lounge, tried to smother the fire. She partly suc- ceeded, but set fire to the lounge. Failing to beat out the flames on the couch, Mrs. Dreyfus ran from the house to turn in an alarm. Outside the breezes fanned the fire to her dress, which she had all but quenched. Beating her flaming dress as she ran, Mrs. Dreyfus went three blocks east on Faston avenue to the alarm box at Cora Passersby stared at her and some ran after her, but she outdis- tanced them.

She will be placed in a large, well shad- ed pasture with a few common cows, and with lots of water and succulent grass which she can convert into milk to her heart's content and the increase of the university farm revenues. Josephine’s retirement comes at the early age of nine years, but she has seen more people and been geen by more people than any other cow in history. in special cars a number of times, and thousands have visited her at every fair and stock show. Josephine’s failure to break the world’s record for milk production for the full year, after breaking all the records up to 11 months, has been keen- ly regretted by all persons in this com- munity, where her name is @ house- hold word. Various persons, when her output be- gan to diminish, advocated feeding her salt, pumping her full of water, oxygen, and using other artificial stimulants. None was adopted, and the cow failed. Josephine is modest and reticent, and made no statement for publication. Her managers and press agents state that the trip across the State, just finished, was positively her farewell appear- ance.

SEATTLE, Wash., March 2%. —A pos- sible explanation of the marine fire re- ported from Eureka, Cal., last Friday night, is given by officers of the French bark Max, which arrived here yester- day. They say that between 9 and Ill p. m. Friday the bark was enveloped in St. Elmo's fire, while a little north of Eureka; that far to the south ward they could see two other vessels which giimmered like glow worms In the dis- tance, while again to the west another vessel affected by the strange phenom- enon hove into sight.

I am hope- ful.” “Is it true that Gen. recalled from Paris?’’ “I can’t discuss that,” plied. “But you have a beautiful _ city, this St. Louis. I feel I know it quite well.

He is below the average height, with gray mustache and hair, and. was immaculately attired. As he walked up and down the lobby of the hotel, with his walking stick clasped be- hind his back, chatting with reporters, traveling men invariably turned to look at him.
