cept lor the efficient work of the fire
fighters the building would have been
destroyed. Adjoining structures were
seriously endangered. The damage done
will amount to only a few hundred dol
lars.
The hotel is a large weather boarded
' building and would have burned rapidly.
1 Water did considerable dantaee. but it is
not thought the loss will be great. The
chief damage was done to the south side
of the roof. The fire was probably
caused by a defective flue, as the place
• where the flames started point to this.

Anrual Distribution to thn Poor
by the Empty Stocking- Club.
About two hundred and fifty children
on last Monday afternoon. December
2.3 rd, were made hapoy .it the City
Opt ra Hiee, this city, when the Frnoty
Stocking Club made its annual distribu
tion of candy, nuts and oranges to the
poor children of the city who would
not oth rw i e 1 ive been able to enjoy
these things, whn h at this season seem
to be tli* right of every child. This
rli iritv is only one of the long list of,
chanties for which Frederick stands out j
most prominently, ami perhaps this one !
accomplishes tiior- in the way of good
feeling and cheer, than any other. The
Empty Stocking Club of Frederick is .
composed of the leading women of
Frederick, and they believe that the
charity shown through this organization
is more lar reaching and accomplishes
more good than almost any other.
The time set for the app-- trance of the
children at the City Opera House, was
2.30 o'clock. Long before that time the
front of the hall was lim-d with 3 number
ot boys and girls, all looking their very
best, and eagerly awaiting the distribu
tion.
\dmfited inside the ball the youngsters
took tlieir seats and children as young
as two years were included, and this
meant that in some cases the mothers
had to accompany their children to the
hall. All were seated, and in addition
there w re a number of children who
have outgrown the age limit set bv the
association, 12 years, and there was
quite a sprinkling of the old r persons.
Through the kindness of Manager
List of tlieOoera House, two reels of
moving pictu.es were shown, tile first,
“Marg rn-t’s Awaksning.” and the sec
ond, “Blinks and links,” attorneys.
B 'th were grealy enjovi d.
At the conclusion of the pictures, the
Rev. I)r Thomas Freeman Dixon went
the |ilatform an ! made a few apt>ro
priate remarks. He told them that ties
wt Christmas time, and a time that all
children should be verv happy for the
reason that it was at this season of the
year that Jesus Christ came into the
world as a lit'le child, lie then tool
all of those who had tick"ts that there ;
wis awaiting them on the platform.
I candy, oranges, nuts and other oresents,
and stated that in order to get them all
of tit-children should march up oil the
right side of the platform and down on
the left, ami in order. The children fol
lowed the instructions of Dr. Dixon ad
mirably, and the distribution this year
w as the most orderly that the association
has ever made. As fast as the children 1
came upon the platform and exhibited |
their tickets, the ladies of the associa- j
tion handed them their presents. Each |
child received two pairs of stockings, one |
of which contained half a pound of
candy, half a pound of nuts and an
orange. The girls were each ' given a
doll, excepting the older ones, who were
given hair ribbons. The boys were
given various toys.
After all who had tickets had been
supplied ten or twelve worthy children
were left, and they were also given
oranges and nuts
Manager List gave the pictures free
of charge and also gave the use of the
Opera House.
The officers of the club are: President,
Mrs. Ida Marker; vice-president. Miss
Mabel Kindley; secretary, Miss Rosetta
Burger; treasurer, Rev. Dr. Thomas
Freeman Dixon.

Install Gas Plants.
Determined to have their Homes more
satisfactorily lighted, several people at

acetylene gas plants in their houses.
Those who have so far taken up the prop
osition of lighting their houses with gas
are Mrs [esse Ivreig, Mr. Edward Plum
mer. and Mr. II H. Smith. The owners
ol the hall at tli it place are also having
a plant installed in that building. This
building heretofore was lighted with oil

unsatisfactory and somewhat dangerous.
A big improvement is expected with the
installation of the new lights.
