FIRE ON NORTH STREET DWELLING OF MR. CROWELL, THE HARDWARE MERCHANT, BADLY DAMAGED, BUT SAVED BY EFFICIENT FIRE DEPARTMENT From Saturday's Daily Star and Ware Friday afternoon the city was thrown into great excitement, and for a time pleasure and business were forgotten, while the whole population of the central and western portion of the city went to the fire. The house at 214 North Street, owned by Mr. Crowell, the hardware merchant, but occupied by summer cottagers, in some unknown manner caught fire. The fire orginated in the attic, and when discovered the whole tipper portion of the building was ablaze. The* fire department arrived promptly on the scene, and in a remarkably short time the fire was under control. Mr. Crowell succeeded in removing all his furniture and furnishings, but the damage to the house, by fire and water, la estimated at from $1,600 to $2,000. The loss is fully covered by insurance. HENRY CLAY AND OLD CAPE MAY From Saturday's Daily Star and Wave Hon. Leans T. Stevens gave to readers of the "Star and Wave," this week, a very interesting story of the visit of Henry Clay to Cape May in 1847, when he stopped at the Mansion House, kept by Wm. Smith Ludlam. Mr. Stevens has books and records of the once famous Mansion House, and knows whereof he speaks, but I am about to add that the great statesman, on his a-ay through Philadelphia, wor- . shipped at the Church of the Epiphany, at the northwest corner of Schuylkill Eighth (now Fifteenth Street). My home was on the opposite corner, and I was permitted to have a good view of Mr. Clay after the service, in company ■ with Mr. Lewis, an official member of the church, whose guest Mr. Clay was at the time. A drizzling rain was falling, and the two, under an umbrella, r crossed Chestnut Street and on down to i Walnut Street, upon which Mr. Lea°is ■ resided. Rev. Stephen A. Tyng, D.D., was rector of the church at that time, as he had been for a long time, remaining as such ■ until 1852, when he removed to New : York, where his son. Rev. Dudley A. Tyng, was rector of one of the New York City churches. The Church of the Epiphany in those days was known and referred tb "Dr. Tyngs church" T. R. BROOKS. DANGER IN FACE POWDER Some preparations of face-powder arc the cause of inflammation of the eyes. This form of inflammation occurs — from obvious reasons — almost exclusively in women. They will complain tb»t the viaion is blurred; that they cannot read or sew for any length of time; that the lids burn and itch, sometimes intolerably, and that rubbing the lids only aggravates the itching. The reason for this is that many of these toilet powders, commonly known as "rice powder" or "pondre de Ris," contain, in addition to the rice powder, other ingredients which irritate the delicate membranes W

the eye. Sixteen samples of so-called rice powders were recently analyzed, and of this number only two consisted en- • tirely of rice; and only six contained any rice at all. Women who are accustomed to using face powder should be j careful to select only those preparations r which are known to be pure, and free . from harmful substitutes. In applying powder to the face, it is much safer to use a cloth and rub the powder on the I , skin, rather than to apply it with a puff, . , as by the latter method the powder is 5 driven upward and lodges on the moist eve-ball. The tears change it into a . mucilaginous substance which lodges be- , hind the eye-lids, and produce the eymp- , toms complained of. Since toilet articles . do not come under the federal and state r food and drugs act, they can easily be r adulterated. Rice flour purchased at a , grocery would, says "The Journal of the , American Medica Association," remove this particular danger. DANGER IN SUN BATHS 'The Journal of the American Medical ' Association" again calls attention to the : dangerous influence of prolonged expos- . lire of the body to the bright sunlight in - tliose who have not been accustomed to its rays. Grawitz called attention to ' this danger some years ago. Romer says ■ that lying on the sand for hours in the ' ■ sun has become such a popular pastime - ' that at a single one of the Hamburg 1 resorts there were 18,000 taking the sun ' bath one Sunday. The damage is more 1 than sunburn resulting, as be shows by k two cases reported in detail, in which headache and symptoms of meningitis ! developed after the youths had been I lying for several hours in the sunlight ; ' with unprotected head and no clothing > but bathing trunks. . Spinal puncture ■ confirmed the assumption of meningitis > and relieved the headache. The sun's ' rays had evidently penetrated the skull, • ' he says, thus demonstrating that sunI stroke is the consequence of direct ex- : posure to the sun. Grawitz warned that 1 ' those inclined to be nervous were par- ' ticularly predisposed to injury of the i nervous system from this cause, and • Romer adds that it is the anemic and ..rervously predisposed city indoor worki ers with whom these sun baths are most i popular. A tanned and vascular skin is said to protect better against injury • from the sun's rays, but the city dwellI er's skin is neither pigmented nor vasi cnlar. Instead of being benefited, the • nervous are rendered more nervous, and . when the summer is over they are : tanned hut otherwise in poorer condition than in the spring. No one welcomes - more than the physician the "back to . nature" tendency of recent years, but j" it is his task to warn against excesses , awl abuses in ^he "enjoyment of nature." • I -llier, the most expert and' most - successful adherent of heliotherapy, . manages the exposures to the sunlight l with extreme care, exposing only slowly i and gradually larger and larger areas of ; the body to the sunshine. Dorno relates 1 that "at Davos the direct sunlight is ; avoided almost' as something !n!mleal." ■ Romer remarks that the physician will ■ only in rare instances be able to influr enee this popular "sun baths sport," hut ■ • he can at" least raise a voice of warning • of the dangers of sun baths, and urge i the necessity of proper dosage, sprtfe i persons being more sensitive to t£dsun*e t rays than others.

BATHING ACCIDENT YOUNG LADY GETS BEYOND* HER DEPTH. HAS BAD FRIGHT. Lu - GUARDS TO THE RESCUE. ->R. PHILLIP.. RENDERS MEDICAL AID From- Saturday's Daily Star and Wa\ > Yesterday, between the Yours of 12:00 and 1 :0Q o'clock, a great deal of excitement, was aroused along the beach front and on Ocean Street by an accident which almost* resulted in a drowning. A Miss Schultx, from Philadelphia, who, with her sister, is staying at the ' Hotel Columbia, was in bathing with a * number of friends. Jt seems that the young people had gone beyond a gully in the beach and were on a sand bar. A young man who was with the young iadies told Miss Scbultz to remain on Unbar while he assisted some of the otuer« to cross the gulley. Mies Schultz, who is unable to swim, failed to heed his advice, and started back by herself. She soon got beyond her depth and became badly frightened, which added to her danger. Her friends were unable to rescue her, and the life guards promptly went to the rescue. They succeeded, in a very short time, in getting the young lady to shore, where first aid methods I were used to restore her. She was tin n j taken to her apartments, at the Coluin- 1 bia, where Dr. W. H. Phillips was sum moned. He took the case in charge and | soon had her on the road to complete j restoration!"
