Scenes OF Rescue from that Point-A Res
taurant Full of Escaped Patients.
Merchant policeman Breen and assist
ant fire chief Barrett happened to be stand
ing on the corner of Georgia and Illi-
nois streets. when their attention was
suddenly attracted by burst of blaze
from a room of the Georgia-srreet build
ing. Just then the alarm of fire was turned
in by the engineer in the boiier-room. The
windows began to fill with frightened
patients of the institute. men. women and
children, and the air was filled with
screams and cries for help. Patrolmen
Thompson and Richardson rushed to the
assistance of Breen and Barrett, who
rushed up stairs to help the helpless Grip
Piles out. The officers stationed themselves
under the veranda of the second story,

little ones were appalled, with fright. and
only screamed when their stiff
and feeble limbs were hurt by
the shock of falling into the
arms of their rescuera The restaurant was
soon filled by the scores of Others who
were rescued by means of the fire lad

window, or by the fire escapes Much
praise was bestowed upon the housekeeper,
who stayed by her charge of forty three
children till all were safely out OF the

Mrs Thomas had in leaving the building as
sisted her niece, Miss straughan. to reach
the sidewalk by mears of an impro-
vised rope-ladder, but in attempting to
descend herself lost her hold and fell from
the third story to the sidewalk, receiving
terrible bruises.' from which she
was suffering intensely in addition TO
her burns. Miss Straughan is helpless
eled and deformed. and from these
misshapen members the flesh fell
in strips and pieces as her
clothing was removed. She experienced
great difficulty in breathing, but while
gasping for breath shrieked and cried most
piteously. Miss Breeden's condition was
even worse and her entire body
was burned most frightfully. Her suf-
ferings cannot be depicted. and in
her agony she prayed for relief in death.
With her, as in the case of Miss Straug-
han. the flesh fell off In huge pieces. and
great blisters covered the upper portion OF
her body. Dr.. Young and other physi-
clans did all thas could be done to
alleviate the sufferings of these wretched
victims of the great calamity, but it was
evident that death must surely ensue in
each case. Miss Straughan's neck and
body were greatly swollen and Miss
Breeden at o'clock was said to be dyin g.

Three Questions.


One of our modern philosophers says
that the three most important ques-
lions any man can ask himself are:
Whence came I? Where am I? Where
am going? It would pass the wisdom
OF most of us to answer all three.
The first is a poser for any body. The
second we cannot always answer The
third will have almost as many ans
wers as the number of people to whom
it is addressed. It all depends on the
circumstances of the case. Specially
important are the answers when one is
travelling. If you are journeying by
the Burlington Route, you came from
Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City,
Omaha, ST. Joseph, Denver, ST. Paul,
Minneapolis, Deadwood or Cheyenne;
you are riding on an elegant train Of
vestibuled chair cars, dining and Pull
man sleepers; and you are going easily,
swiftly and safely to some one of the
cities above named, or some one of q
hundred others reached by the Bur
lington Lines. If you are travelling by
some other line-but it is useless to
speculate on that, since you always buy
tickets of your home agent via the
Burlington Route. Maps, and any in
formation as to rates and routes can be
had by addressing w. j. G. Kenyon,
