New York Dispatch.l


An re which broke out in the three-story
the death of Cornelius Van Ripper and his
family, consisting OF his wife and three
children. Mr.. Van Ripper and his three
children were sunocated and burned to
death, His wife, Rebecca, jumped from
the third-stOry window TO the side
walk and was instantly killed. The
cause of the fire Is unknown. The fire was
discovered by a policeman, who, after calling
for assistance, kicked in the door and made "A
rush for the stairs, shouting ut the top of his
voice to rouse the sleeping tenants. A con-
fused tumble of shrieks and stamping over
head answered him. But the dense smoke
drove him back just rs the door on the
second floor was opened, and young
woman ran past him in her night
clothes. The policeman was compelled TO
seek the open air To save his own life.
AS he reached the street in n half-dozen des-
peraJe jumps he sprang over the PROSTATE
body of Mrs. Rebecca Van Ripper. The fire
was extinguished after two hours. When the
dremen made their way TO the rooms of the
Van Ripers, after the fire had been extin-
guished, sickening sight awaited them.
They found the entire family. save the
mother, burned to death. The family had
evidently been half sufiOcated before they
were aroused to find escape from an awful
death cut off, The bodies were all
found in different places, showing
that the unfortunates rushed wild
ly and blindly around the rooms in their
efforts to escape. In the rear room was
found Jennie, aged 10, with her night-clothes
burned of. Her arms and hands were terri
bly, burned. The skin from the hands and
arms of the boy, Albert. aged Z, hung in
shreds, and his left arm was raised across his
face. He was found doubled up in a corner,
and one side of his body was very badly
burned. FfHhkey, aged 2, charred and black
ened, was found near his fathers body In the
front room. The face and head of Van
Ripper presented shocking appearance, the
features being scarcely recognizable.

There comes time in every little girls life
when she is seized with longing to cook. By all
means indulge her. Do not wait until she is a
young lady and then send her to cooking school
to learn how to make a pudding or cake-what
she might have learned in the kitchen at home,
and been happy in learning A neighbor of
mine who puts this theory in practice presented
me with plate of cookies made by her daughter
of five They would have becn creditable to a
lghtedly followed her mothers instructions If
some older member of the family superintends,
but does not lend helping hand, a good deal
of valuable knowledge will be acquired in
this way. Let them begin with something
very simple; try for instance, this rule for
crackers: To three pints of flour put one tea
spoonful of soda, dissolved in sour milk; melt a
tablespoonful of butter, or Of butter and lard
mixed; make the dough very stiff roll it very
thin; bake slowly
