burned to Death.

BY the explosion of gasoline stove at
13S North Ada street Mrs. Hulda Lensky
was so seriously burned that she died soon
after being taken to the County Hospital.
Charles Lensky, the woman's husband, is a
blacksmith at Washington and Canal

months, and lived in the rear of one story
and half cottage on Ada street, near
Austin avenue Mrs. Lensky lighted the
gasoline stove and then went out TO make
some purchases for supper She had been
in the house only few minutes upon her
return when the stove exploded. She
raised the window to throw it out, when
her clothing took fire and she rushed out
into the street. Thomas Corbett, car
penter working near by, wrapped piece of
carpet around her and extinguished the
flames. When her husband returned home
from work aud learned of the accident he
became crazed with grief 1t was feared by
some of the neighbors that he would kill

papers "the great Snarleyow of 'Sinbad,'"

Manager Dave Henderson and the public

This life is full OF change and care.
As all OF us know well.
And there's a tale OF sorrow
That each OF us can tell.
The home you left long years ago
And visit once again
Is changed in some way You don't know,
Which nils your heart with.pain.

Orchestra Music.

According to the New York Evening Post,
movement has been started in that city to
secure an Improvement in the character of
the music played in the different theaters.
This is most benefcent object. The aver
age theatrical orchestra causes mere torture
than neuralgia does. and is especially unen-
durable when it undertakes to supplement
the efforts OF the actors by pathetic accom-
paniments. An association for the improve
ment Of music between the acts and the
suppression of it during the acts would be
entitled to the support and gratitude of
every intelligent play-goer. II would not
go very far wrong. for almost any change
would be for the better.

sical music. The nearest he can get to
what is known as popular music is
Strauss waltz. He is disciple of Wagner
Beethoven, Schubert, Gounod. aud recently
lie has taken up a Russian composer with a
name as long as tiddle-bow. Mr.. Thomas
is a superb leader, and his orchestra cannot
be excelled. We admire him for his lofty
devotion to high-class music, but his ms
take has been in asking people to be edu-
Gated In music, instead Of being entertained
by ms orchestra. great many people are
dies, and even heel-and-toe music. Mr..
Thomas insists upon giving concerts to edu-
cate these people up to nObler things. They
