SIX FATALLY BURNED.
GasoIcne Fire in Tent Show at Lynn Beach
Results DisastrousIy.

Lynn. Mass. June 3.-Six persons
ably fatally burned at Lynn Beach,
Wednesday evening. In connection
with the Zoo which is exhibiting there
is a small side show in a tent about so
feet from the main tent. This is lighted
by gasolene torches.
While one of the employees was fill
ing a burning torch from a small tank
of gasolene which he had drawn from
a larger tank, the fumes took fire and
spread to the flap of the tent, running
upward to the main pole against which
was the large tank of gasolene. The
man dropped the torch and ran to the
center of the tent intending to pull
down the pole but in his hurry he over
turned the large tank and the flames
spread rapidly.
The tent was we'll filled and the peo-
pie became greatly excited and at
tempted to get out. Several crawled
under the canvass and escaped un-
fnjred. Those who tried to get out by
the entrance We're not SO fortunate as
here the heat was intense and six per-
sons were badly burned. The injured
are:
Annie Myers. "a Mount Pleasant
street, Lynn. burned about the head,
hands and face.
Maud Rhodes. 50 Rockaway, st Lynn.
face and hands, legs and body badly
burned; will probably die.
Richard Doty. Washington, st. Lynn.
face and body badly burned; will prob
ably die.
Wallace O. Stevens. 262 Cambridge
street, East Cambridge: Robert A.
Hodgden. East Newton street Maiden.
John Goblin, Lynn, burned about the
face and hands.
All were taken to the Lynn hospital
and it is feared they may have in
hailed the fumes of the gasolene and
this may result in their death. The up
roar caused by the fire created almost
a panic among the animals in the Zoo
and in the rush TO get out a cage of
lions was overturned. but no damage
was done One unknown woman was
trampled under foot and was reported
seriously injured.

from which India rubber comes. The
East India rubber Is the juice of a

PRAISES THE COUNTRY.

Former Governor of Alaska Speaks
Kind Words for the Territory.
James Sheakley, who has returned
from a ten years residence in Alaska.
the last four of which he was governor
OF the territory, speaks in terms Of the
highest praise Of the country and its
great gold resources. He says that
~ ."--' -'', r'--~'sh t.'e cornTrv
WIN god for a century. the great
bodies Of low grade ores buried In AL
aska, he says. are practically inexhaus-
tible. The most important infOrma-
ton brought back by the former gov
ernor. however, Is to the effect that the
American territory contains regions as
rich In gold as the British. He urges
the necessity of an early start to the
mines. when the Yukon freezes up"
said Mr.. Sheakley, ''it freezes to
depth Of six and seven feet, and blocks
Of ice pile up SO that no boat left in the
river could possibly be saved. Alaska's
resources are her mines and her fisher
les. The fur business is a passing in
dustry that win disappear with al the
seals in a few years unless the strict

Mr.. Sheakley says that Alaska has no
agricultural possibilities and will nev-
er have any. There is no soil, he adds,

A vete n turfman. In speaking OF
the expense OF conducting a racing sta
BILE, gives some rather startling figures.
One would want at least twelve horses,
and these, II they are to be honest. fair
racers, with some chance Of success,
would cost at least $4,000. This is a
very low estimate, as is seen by the
following figures. 1t cost August Bel
mont $92, 500 for four horses-Henry of
Navarro, 1900: Hastings, $37 800;
keenan,, 5000: and Dorian. $4,000.
In the same year W. P. Thompson paid
$4,000 for ReQuitaL. After the pur-
chase of the horses the next big item
Of expense will be q trainer, who will
want at least 5000 a year, besides his
living, which will amount to fully
$500. The trainer will also expect q
percentage Of winnings. No Jockey
worth the name can be secured for less
that $500 per year. besides valuable
presents and tips. In 1896 August Bel
mont paid Griffin a salary Of 81. 800.
This year Fred Taral receives from
Marcus DAILY $4,000: while 'Tod"
Sloane. who is riding for Pittsburg Phil,
gets $4,000. Fred Littlefeld gets
10000 from the Morrises, while
Thorpe draws 5000 for plotting the

A rev wrinkle may be learned from
an English soldier who was noted for
keeping his boots in better condition
and making them last longer than any
of his brother officers. When asked
what he did to them to prevent the
leather from cracking and keeping it
soft and smooth his reply was Nut
ton bone" When an explanation was
demanded he said: ut Is nothing, as
sure you. My man asks the cook for
knuckle bone, which he cleans and then
bakes. After rubbing the leather with
cream, he then frotes them as hard as
he can with the bone. Usually my boots
last me three years.-New orleans
