TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 1s.-The opinion
exists here that stranger things might
happen than the election OF Mrs. Mary T..
Lease as United States senator from Kan
sas. Mrs. leases candidacy has become a
serious reality. Her popularity with the
rank and file OF the Populist party will
give her at least an equal chance with
other aspirants, especially as there seems
to be no constitutional disqualification.

UNMANAGEABLE BONFIREF.

Two unmanageable fires in Philadelphia and
New-Yorl1 enforce the same warning against
hmsy and cheap building construction The
Grand Central Theatre and the Cayuga Flats
were alike infammable tnder-piles ready to
fash into blaze, to tumble into heaps of
charred ruins and to endanger property on all
sides If the loss of life was not more serious
in either case than it was-and as many as nine
lives were sacrificed-it was because precau-
tons had been taken to protect audience, stage
performers and inmates by the multiplication
of exits and tire-escapes. Legislation and Off
cial inspections have not been wholly without
avail in the two cities when the record of loss
of life from two disastrous fires is as small az
in these instances. Something at least has
been gained if sufficient facilities for escape
from such buildings as these have been offered
to prevent human slaughter on a large scale
But much remains to be done before the cree
ton of such cheap and dangerous structures
can be prohibited altogether.
The Grand Central Theatre was of recent
construction, and occupied site which had
been emptcd and cleared by flames several
times. Experience had taught the owners
something. They had learned the lesson that
lie UluSJ nc DTOtClPu, ana ldu pfONlucu cA-
cellcnt facilities for cmptying house and stage
rapidly in an emergency. They had not been
taught the folly of building a theatre so chcaply
and dangerously as to facilitate its quick de-
structiOn with that of surrounding property
The theatre is said to have cost $50, 900. That
was enough for the construction OF building
which would burn to the ground in half an
hour and carry with it the great structure be-
hind it. 1t was not enough to secure the con-
structon of a theatre in which fire could be
successfully fought, brought under control and
kept from spreading to adjoining property If
the owner had deliberately planned theatre
which would burn rapidly and menace build
ings on every side with destruction, he would
not have changed the specifications in any es-
sential detail. The result of the close and
all-too careful investment of $50, 600 is a loss
of property which will exceed $3.50. 900. There
is no degree of recklessness and extravaganza
to be compared with that of the cheap build
crs in great American towns.
The tire in the theatre was caused by the ig-

Arrangements have been made for accommodating

the Lotos Club tomorrow evening This will be well
come news 10 those who wish attend It, for usually
10 seats is the limit at the dinners OF the club There
is room for only that number the ground floor.
so many members wished TO be present tomorrow
ing that the officers felt compelled % arrange pos
sibe, for serving larger number than ITO. At the
same time, they did not wish to have more present
than could DO properly attended to by the cooks and
walters. The difficulty will be obviated BY having
fifty Of the guests eat on the second floor.
The officers have been assured that dinner can b
cooked and served for 100 persons with due expedition
and in the best style. Over 100 members applied for
seats before the secretary, John Edern sent out the
formal notices. Even with the enlarged accommoda-
tons, it will be impossible 10 find for any but
members and the invited guests. Many members
wanted extra seats for friends, but 1t was impossible

milton of the borders from lights III the wing.
The in1ammable scene setting was instantly
ablaZe all across the stage. An Intellectual at
tempt to tear down the burning border was the
only effort made to save the building. If the
theatre had been properly constructed, solid
brick wall and an iron curtain would have
confined the fire TO tho stage. II adequate
precautions had been taken to secure property
as well As life, there would have been iireproof
stage settings. tanks of water on the roof fire
men behind the scenes, and safeguards for
controlling every light. In a cheap theatre,
costing $50 600 and conducted economically,
all these requirements had been neglected.
The result was a panic stricken audience and
a half-crazed company Joining in stampede
for life, from which many were injured and
few of the least fortunate never emerged in
safety. The building, which was only fit to
burn. flashed into flame almost instantaneousy
and there was not the slightest chance of saving
it when the first alarm was sounded.
Not one whit better was the block of cheap
fats in New-Yorll which caught fire yesterday
Built in a corner of the town where only low
rents could be asked. it was of the most flimsy
construction. economy of cost being CAREFULLY
calculated from basement to roof The fire
was the direct result of carelessness IN the use
of naphtha but the rapidity with which the
flames shot up to the roof and involved both
the destruction of the building and loss OF
life was startling illustration of the reck-
lessness of cheap building. So badly con-
structed were both these structures that there
was not time for audience, performers and in
mates to take full advantage of ample facilities
for escape. The cheap builders had been SO
successful in providing material and conditions
for lnmanageable bonfres that fre-escapes and
other precautions were inadequate safeguards.
