booths exploded, setting fire to the
draperies of Miss Myrtle Elser, an at

which dozens of women and children
were trampled, occurred. Fully 1OO
persons jumped or were thrown from
the windows, many being badly cut by

sustaining injuries which will likely
prove fatal. Jennie Putnam, a 1O-year.

Next TO his monkey, Gigi, the dearest

the daytime he presided over a push-cart
laden with the fruits of the season; at
night he followed and watched his little
daughter as she sold her boutonnieres in
the uptown cafes and outside Of the
theaters in the Tenderloin.
Left motherless at the tender age of
five, Teresina had grown upunder blows
and endearments, oaths and caresses,
struggling little sunbeam in a shady
spot. As il was, she lightened the hearts
of her countrymen with u laugh that
was tune; she cheered the old and sick
of the quarter with a voice as sweet
and welcome as vesper bells; and her
eyes held for Antonio Cappiani, the
