The sharp 10 okout on Ellis Island for
INDECENT imm igrants from Europe has be-
gun to bear fruit 1t has teen discovered
that the cholera committee at Hamburg
shipped Augusta schell and her two chill
dren to New York. The immigration COM
missioners have ordered the trio sent back.
Mrs scheIl's husband died OF cholera in

would not answer them.
lire Quilted the three upper floors OF
the fve-story Haymarket Theater Build
Ing. Chicago. Friday. For two hours thirty
companies OF firemen fought as fierce
blaze as has visited the West Side OF the
city since John NJ Smyth's big estab-
l1shment just across the street was de-
stroyed. The bitter cold air and stiff
west wind made active work almost
impossible. but the fremen succeeded In
checking the flames before they reached
the auditorium or stage OF the playhouse.
The entire amount Of damage done by
the flames and water reaches 500. 900.
When the fire discovered about
o o'clock, all the occupants OF the
building were beginning to start in the
days work. panic seized the persons on
the upper floors when the fire rushed along
from room to room with frightful rapidity,
and IT was feared that lives would be sac
rifced before all could reach a place OF
safety. Charles f. Boyer. the elevator
conductor, bravely stood at his post and
made several trips to the fourth and fifth
floors through the smoke and flames and
saved the lives OF several who had given
up all hopes OF getting out alive
Young Boyer performed deeds OF hcroism
which few men would have undertaken.
Time and again he shot the elevator up
70 tho upper stories and carried down
fainting women and panic stricken men.
Not until the elevator able got so hot that
he could not handle it did Boyer quit the
machine. and then he had assured himself
that nobody remained upstairs His last
trip was made to carry up a company OF
nremen. At the second floor the cable
parted md the passengers were thrown to
the bottom Of the @hatt. Fire Marshal
Campion and several members OF engine
company : and truck . were cut about the
head with broken glass
