who forced an entrance into the burning
building.
There was no sign of life In the
building and the officers hurried from
inmates. Murmurings at first were heard,
then buzz of many voices, which finally
changed into a wall OF terror and agony
from men, women and children, struggling
for their lives in the death-trap.
Fire escapes leading from the burning
building to tho as yet untouched tenement
next door were soon filed up with half-na-
kedpeople crazy to reach the street In the
meantime the fire department had arrived
and had begun work on the flames and
were assisting In rescuing the frightened
inmates.

enough by the firemen, and the people in
the fire escapes were landed safely Not
one person escaped down the stairway,
and the names of the few who tried it are
found In the list of the dead printed
above. The search for the dead was
begun as soon as possible The first body
found was that of old William Glennon.

of the bed In his room on the second floor
He had risen to fly with his sons, but his
old legs were not nimble enough, and he
persisted The boys were taken to
the hospital They were badly burned
on the feet, caused by walking on the
hot iron bars OF The fre-escape. In
the rooms of the Wells family was sight
which can not be easily forgotten. In the
middle of the floor knelt the mother, Mary
Wells, and in her dead embrace was her
children, Jane and Thomas They had
been smothered, mercifully enough, and
not a burn or blister defaced the pallor of
their countenances.

Tho Color Treatment.

Color treatment has lately been sug"
gested for various forms of mental de-
rangement-bright crimson surround
ings for melancholia, soft blue for
maniacial excitement, and so on. The
report which has reached us leaves
much to be desired from scientific
standpoint, says The Lancet; mean
while, there is very little room for
doubt that prolonged period of dark
ness largely influences the mental at
titude, and, by hope deferred, favors
general feeling of misanthropy.
Pessimism flourishes in the autumnal
and winter seasons, optimism in
spring and summer even though the
statistics of death from suicide show
an increase in bright weather. To re-
state belief in the remedial value of
color is merely to insist upon the
therapeutic effects of change, since,
in advising change of scene. bright
ness and interest are always the objects
sought. No one would recommend a
course OF fogs as an alternative for
sunshine. 1t other words, stimulants,
