MISS DE MOLE BURNED
Leading Lady in when London Sleeps"
Has Narrow Escape.
tnloOLcd-For Touch of Realism nj the
Columbus Thenter i'm Harlem
Last Night.
w York Herald Of This Morning.

New York Herald Of This Morning
An unlooked-for touch of realism occurred
last night during The final act of a drama
being produced at the Columbus Thcater in
Harlem. In this act the heroine is thrown
by the villain into vat, supposed TO con-
tain kerosene, and he applies a torch for
the purpose of burning her. The torch ig-
nited the heroine's dress last night and she
narrowly escaped being burned to death.
The young woman who figured in this
episode is Miss Vera De Mole. She is the
leading woman in the drama when Lon
don Sleeps" and she owes her life today 10
the prompt action of the villain, W. NJ
Farnham, who proved a hero.
In the last act of the play Mr. Farnham is
called again to disposed OF Miss DE Mole for
all time by tossing her into a big tank
which, for the purposes of the play. is sun
posed to contain Kerosene
Lighting Gas Jets.
Mr.. Farnham, after struggling with the
heroine in the center of the stage seizes
her in his arms and throws her into the
tank. Then he seizes a flaming torch and
TO give the effect of burning oil he lights
row of gas jets that line the inside OF the
tank.
In his haste to light the gas last night he
swept the torch close to the woman's
blaZed up
Miss De Mole. with great presence of
mind crouched down at the bottom of the
tank, out of sight of the audience so that
a panic would be avoided.
The flames in an instant climbed TO her
waist. Her skirt was consumed. Mr.. Farm
ham was quick TO take in the situation He
signalled to the prompter to ring down the
curtain and staggered to Miss Noes as
sistance.
Wrapped I'm His Coat.
He threw off his coat and wrapped ii
about her, but it was not large enough,
and, Selling piece of canvas he rolled her
In it, smothering the flames as her hair be-
gan to burn.
Then, with the aid of other members of
the company, he carried her from the tank
TO her dressing ROOM
She tainted upon being placed on a couch
A doctor was called, and Miss De Mole was
taken to her hotel where she is staying, at
l26th street and Sth avenue.
Her left arm was badly burned, her hair
was singed and she suffered from shock 1t
Is not believed that she will be able to re-
slime her part today. The audience knew
nothing of her narrow escape from death.

The Truth About Santu Clan

The Truth About Santa Claus.
Written for The Evening Star.
OF course there's Santa Claus. Every one knows
it
That is, every onc who has good sense and shows
Ii.
There are those who doubt love and religion and
morals
Those people who always SEEKING for quarrels
On questions Of faith. and are ever lameptng
The existence of things TO which there's dis
senting.
They would haze all the dear little children be-
lieving
There isn't Santa, but their aims deeeiving.
He's jolly and big and his nickname's kriss
Kingle.
God pity the child who has not heard the Jingle
OF his silver bells he comes swift asleg.,ing
When his annual visit Of love he's a-paying
He's round and he's fat, and his whiskers are
whitened
With centuried SHOWS, but his good face is light
ened
With the CHEEKY warm nature that keeps youth
supernal
And will make dear old Santa Claus last time
eternal.
So. children. don't think when Jon hang up each
stocking
That there 10 no Santa Claus-that would be shock
ing
because while you're snugiy and costly sleeping
He'll come with his reindeer all madly aleapins
AND from his rich load in q trfce will be taking
And leaving the gifts that VIII gladden. yonr wax

CHINESE SIX COMPANIES.
The Noted Organization Going Out
of business.

San Francisco, Cal, Feb with the
Chinese New Year. the Six Companies, the
most powerful. richest and most far reach
ing Chinese organization in America, goes
out of existence
For a year and a half, ever since the
four provincial organizations-Ning Yung,
Kong Chow, Hop Wo and Shu Hing, com
posing the See Yup Observation-Disclosures
their active support and formed the Four
Companies organization, the Six Compan-
les has been practically in liquidation,
For years it was the. banker. counsellor
and diplomatic agent of every Chinese In
America while he lived, the administrator
of his estate, guardian of his ashes, pro-
tector of his relatives and almoner of his
aims after his death.
Its sources of revenue were varied, and
the sums of money it handled were as
tonshing, while some of its methods OF
obtaining money and some of the uses 10
which 1t was put, perhaps would not bear
inspection. 1t was the arbiter of diff
ferences and quarreis, business and per-
sonal, between the Chinese throughout
the country and the agency through which
the police. and even the state department,
dealt with that people.
