FIREMEN FOUND NONE TO SAVE Battalion Chief Ross's Force Failed to Add to Records at Burn- ing Lorelei. THE HOUSE NOT OCCUPIED | Firemen Scrambled Into Win-| || dows of Building Expecting | to Find Victims, but Re- turned to Laugh at the Chief, “Great Scott! No human power can save the people in that house!” exclaim- ed Fire Battallon Chief Ross as he gazed up at the front of the seven-story | || fashionable apartment house, Lorelte,| [| Park avenue and Fifty-sixth street, from every wincow of which great clouds of black, suffocating smoke were belching. Not a face appeared at any window and there was no sign of life about the great apartment house, where twenty- one familles had thelr homes, although there were several windows open. The Fire Chief was almost sick with horror as he contemplated the scene which would greet the firemen when they reached the rooms all over the building, “At least a hundred men, women and children lived in that splendid structure, fireproof, but not proof against the deudly fumes of such a fire,” murmured | the Fire Chief, after shouting the hur- | rled orders, in obedience to which the men of Hook and “adder No, 2 and En-| gine No. 5 were running up In a dozen| places to the windows of the building. | It was just before dawn and a bad time for such a fire, As they scrambled into the windows the Chief looked on, and then was Startled as they reappeared shouting and laughing. ‘There was not a human being alive or dead on that floor over the blaze nor the one above that, and in another minute a fireman stuck his head out of the top-floor window and shouted that there was no one in the house at all. All the families living ia the big Lore- | le had closed their flats and gone to the shore or the mouptains. The fire did $1,500 damage, mainly to the apartment of Dr. Deven’ 8, Bayard, on the floor directly over a paint store, | where !t started, before the firemen got the best of It. pe BOILING FAT STARTED __ WEST STREET FIRE.

He stole $2,900 | from the Albany Brewing Company and falsified his books to cover his crime. Leutheusser comes of a good family and has a superior education. After his discharge from Elmira his friends, con- tident that his punishment there hac taught him a lesson, helped him to ad- vance {n the business world. For a long time he was honest and eyetually became manager of the bottling depart- mient of the Albany Brewing Company. ‘The chance to teal presented ttwself and he fell. “A man of your attainments and ex- perience has no excuse to offer for such a crime as you committed,” said Judge Newburger in sentencing Leutheusser “Your term in the Elmira Reformatory in your youth should have shown you that (he way of the thief 1s not the Dest way, But, with the shadow of this disgrace hanging over you, with tho knowledge that you were placing your- welt in position to go to prison and break up your family, you stole, again, You are entitled to no clemen | ST.

Wishes from ° Arcadia Summer vacation-time is notorious for bring- ing together affinities and adding to the world’s home-makers; but, in the vicinage of New York it is everso much more. * Many a Summer hotel piazza is a hot-bed of revolution against the tyranny of boarding life. Many a battle has been fought and won this Sum- mer for the freedom of a home. The reaction from human hiving in great cities reaches maxi- mum effort for suburban home making. Travel grows easier, the cost of furnishing a home is not necessarily great; and the betterment for human happiness is almost infinite. Hundreds of others, who cling preferably to city life, are planning a move to their own apart- ments from the room or two that they called Wr home for want of a better. The wishes and the plotting and planning are not the least of the Summer pleasures for ambi-|4 : tious wives with the home-making spirit. : Ve The AUGUST TRADE SALE OF FURNITUR: At Wanamaker's This masterful, almost historic, movement begins action for 1902 to-morrow, August First. It presents the best furniture that America produces. It offers : not one piece that is questionable-in its character; not one piece that is not of proven goodness. Wanamaker methods for August price-making demand no quality de- scent for price-lowering. This would not be Wanamaker’s—it would not be a Wanamaker Sale if such weakness were tolerated. In all these vast August stocks there is not a piece which we are not proud to show—not a piece that some prospective home-seeker may not well be proud to own. : ; There is artistic and worthy furniture for homes.of modest means, and there is the most elegant furniture, in classic styles, for homes that demand the richest Helps to Realization “Ways and means’ is an important subject with a new government or a new housekeeping} venture. Not all who long for home freedom have] the means to provide it. Many have sufficient, who fear that it may not prove enough. Thrift is often necessary, always commendable. Foresight, properly directed, may be most potential ofall in bringing full realization to half-hearted hopes. The discovering and utilizing of favorable con- ditions is not only pleasurable to the thrifty home-builder, but it adds vastly to the possibilities of a limited appropriation. Bee Rowing in still water is easier than pulling up}| stream; but riding with a strong current that is going your way, will bring you quickly to the de sired destination. Me A strong, sweeping current invites home fur- nishers in August; and provides a full third of the means for furnishing the home. It is ae furnishings-- And the Regular Prices Would Average a Half More: True, there are staple lines where the reduction is only ten per cent. (a good discount that, where you pick the newest, choicest furniture from the best maker in America ), but most of the August Furniture is marked at a quarter, a third, and plenty of all sorts at a full half below the fair regular prices. All the August Furniture comes from proven manufacturers whose goods we sell regularly in our stocks; and all the furniture was made up for selling at full regular prices. Nowhere in all our stocks is there a slighting of workmanship; nowhere is there a single piece of furniture made for “bargain” selling. All the reduc- } tions in prices told by the figures below are absolute markings from regular Wanamaker values—you have the Wanamaker guarantee for that. We would abandon August saleg | forever rather than sell you furniture—no matter how low its price—that did not do honor to the Wanamaker name, whether bought in August or October. ee Our reputation ‘for selling only high-class furniture is jealously guarded every day of the year, and safeguards you in every economy secured in this storey The furniture is right; the savings are secure; and home-makers may add one-half to their furniture possessions by buying during this great August movement. 4 Furniture may be selected now, and delivered later in the season, as desired.
