On the 10th inst. the Milwaukee

S5OO,000 worth OF property and the
ives of 100 persons were lost. -Four
days later the Planters House, OF 81

and kitchen and the exciting scenes
and events Of the Milwaukee, horror
were repeated. The engines were oil

alarm was given and rs the hotel was
well provided with fire escape all OF
the guests got out safe, though man!
Of them had to rush out without put
ting on their clothes. All Of the ser.
wants but three escaped, these lost
their lives before they could get Out
Tho fire was extinguished before II
reached the hotel proper. These
fires coming in tho same week should
put people 10 thinking OH the subject
of "death traps" The difference was
manifest in the two hotels. One was
not provided with fire escapes and a
hundred OF tho occupants persisted
while the other was, and nearly all
escaped. The portion of the 81.
Louis hotel where the fire broke out
was also deficient in this respect
aud the result was three lives w,r
lost. People should be cautious
about jeopardizing their lives by
stopping in hotels without means OF
cape in case OF fires. Too many
lives have already been sacrificed ia
this way, and the public should moi
paironize hotels and theatres that art
vcritable "dcaih traps"
