CADIZ, Dec. ia terrible disaster
occurred at Xeres, sixteen miles from
this city, this morning, through the COL
lapse of building. A house contain
ing twenty five persons fell without
warning, burying all the inmates in the
debris. Tha. house fell upon an adjoin-
ing tenemenHk building, which also gave
way. The tenement house was mhab-
tied by eighty-tive persons, and all
We're buried in the wreckage. Eleven
dead bodies and forty-six seriously in
jured have been taken from the ruins.
The scene about the ruins was a pitt
full one. The news spread rapidly, and
it was not long before an immense
crowd had gathered there. Friends and
relatives of the buried people made loud
outcries AS each body was brought
out people would crowd around it to try
and recognize the battered features.
Volunteers We're plenty to aid IN the
work of excavation. Men, women and
children worked like fiends in mad
effort to save life.
The blame for the accident has not
been placed. A searching investigation,
however, is promised.

ness. In fact, Sarah Ingersou began
journalistic career, which closed only
with her life, when she was but IL
years old.
In 1869 Mr.. and Mrs. Cooper, with
their little daughter Hattie, removed
to San Francisco. For a time fortune
favored them, but later Mr. Cooper be-
came broken in health through worry
regarding business reverses, and on the
9th day of December eleven years ago
he died by his own hand. The shock to
the widow and her daughter was ter
rible one, but Mrs. Cooper's strong
spirit enabled her to rise above her
sorrows and to give her life more than
ever to the service of aiding those who
needed her help.
In 1879 Mrs Cooper organized the
Golden Gate kindergarten Association.
Aside from the work for the children,
Mrs. Cooper took the greatest interest
in the culture and uplifting of women.
She was a member of the Women's $
Pacific Coast Press Association, Of the
Suffrage Association, the Women
Congress and the Century Club. In
1884 Mrs. Cooper was, to her own sur
prise, elected Treasurer of the World $
Federation of Womens Clubs.
In May last Mrs. Cooper, attended by
her daughter went East to be present
at the convention of the last-named
organization, which was held at Louis
vile, KY. After the return from the
East both ladies We're busy for a time
getting the kindergarten work in or
der for the opening term. Very soon,
however, Miss Hatties condition be-
came SO serious that she was obliged to
rest. Her trouble was nervous prostra-

Mrs. Cooper recently expressed the
fear that the worst might be expected
in Miss Hattie's case. and had declared
that her own heart trouble was of such
survive the shock of her daughters
death. With this in view, Mrs. Cooper
and her daughter both prepared their
wills and arranged everything as sys-
tematically as possible.
Perhaps no more fitting obituary of
Mrs. Cooper could be written than that
penned by the noted agnostic, Colonel
Ingersoll, presenting Mrs. Cooper with
a copy of one of his famous books at
tacking the religion of the churches.
Colonel Ingersoll penned on a fly leaf
an inscription: IF all Christians were
