TIE Sappho Quartet, THE Misses

Miss Marie Tossing and Anna Burnett
gave a musical last Thursday evening
at her home which was highly pleasing
10 her invited guests. The singing
was remarkably good. Miss Langan
is deserving of a great deal OF credit
in selection of voices so adapted TO
each other. The careful train
ing she has given them has perfected
the Ladies' Quartet, which she and
the Quartet's many musical friends
are proud OF. Miss Marie Tossing
played two selections in her delightful
and unassuming manner. Miss Annie
Burnett shows musical talent which
under the training of Miss Langan will
develop into something extraordinary.

round about in the waltzes, the hall
presented a lively picture. An

piano, furnished very agreeable music,

the happiest order prevailed. Sup

NEARLY A HOLOCAUST
Two Chinese Women and Their
Babies Face Death in
a Fire.
An Exploding Lamp Covered Them
With Blazing 0il-0ne Child
Fatally Burned.

A fire in which two Chinese women and
two tiny Chinese maidens narrowly es-
capped incineration occurred in Quong
Hun Docks tenement-house, zoos Dupont
street, at o'clock last evening. The
women, All Fong and Chung Joey. were
IN one of the narrow rooms on the second
floor endeavoring to amuse the babies.
Chuck Song and All Ping. One OF the
women, in her anxiety TO bring a smile to
the lips of the babies, struck a coal oil
lamp which was burning dimly on a rick
ETY. table and it fell to the floor. 1t sput.
tered Tor minute and then exploded
Sheets OF blazing oil were thrown over the
occupants Is of the room and in an instant
their clothes were wrapped in fames
The women grasped the abies and ran
screaming into the hallway.
Several Cninamen, with unusual nres-
ence of mind, tore the burning clothes
from the women and babies, but not be.
fore all had been seriously burned. The
ambulance was hurriedly summoned and
the sufferers were taken to the ferry
receiving hospital and swathed i'm cotton
soaked in a soothing lotion. All we're
severely burned. and it is the opinion of
Drs. Hill and Deas, who attended the VIC
TINS OF the flames, that the Youngest
baby, All Ping, cannot survive her burns.
Shortly after the lamp exploded an
alarm was sounded from box 25. The de-
partment arrived quickly, and had but
little difficulty in extinguishing the
flames. The damage TO the building.
which is owned by J. Chicazola, will not
exceed $3.50.

THE RACEqRACK
MUST SUFFER
City Officials in Line on
the Question of Half
Holidays.
Inattention to Business Will
Not Be Tolerated by De-
partmental Heads.
The Evil of the Betting Ring Opposed
by Those Who Are Most Inter-
ested in the Matter.

The movement toward a curtailing of
the racetrack exodus has taken firm root
il the City Hall, and the chances are that
the public employees who desire to pet
their money on the feeting and not
always reliable bangtails will have to take
half-holidays at their own risk.
OF course there was CONSERVATION
among the sports when The CALL an
nounced yesterday morning that the
heads of various city departments had
decided to cut off the racetrack and re-
quire their subordinates to attend more to
the business of their Offices and less to the
seductive odds of the bookies. Some OF
the clerks and deputies talked of rebelling
and pursuing their favorite pastime
whether their bosses would or no, while
others thought the movement was good
one and that it could not but rebound to
the benefit of their superiors and the pu b.
lie at large.
Those who thought their privileges were
being urtailed changed their minds about
m aking fuss after they had interviewed
their chiefs, and the chances are that
when the track opens they will oe found
diligently bending over their desks and
attending strictly to the duties that the
public pays them to perform. A nun ber
of city officials who were interviewed yes
terday OIL the subj ct of the racetrack
privileges expressed themselves against
such operations interfering with the
transaction of public business.
Il shall not allow the racetrack to in
terfere with the business of my office this
year" said Sheriff Whelan. 81 have q
system OF haE-holidays in my office on
Saturday afternoons. when those who are
not actively engaged are permitted to get
off and go where they please. This plan
will not be changed, but | shall not toll
crate any fl msy excuses to get away to go
to the racetrack or for any other purpose
My office is dull on Saturday afternoon,
and if my boys want to 60 10 the races
shall not object, but no interruption of
business will be tolerated"
E. w. Williams, clerk of the Justice
courts, expressed himself as follows: 81
have seen the evils of the visits O. City
Hall employees to the track. and ] am in
accord with the movement to stop the
practice. / have had no conference with
other officials as yet, nor. in fact, have |
deputies. but | know that others have"
Chief Deputy Assessor Herzer stated
yesterday that in future. in the past
employees of the Assessors office would not
be permitted half-hol; days to visit the
racetrack nor for any other purpose. I'VE
will avoid trouble here by keeping the
force at work during business hours, and
only permitting leaves of absence when it
is shown that the same are absolutely
necessary said he.

versation he had with Pleasant. but his
testimony was ruled out as hearsay.
+. +. Schultz was recalled 10 the stand
to rebut the testimony of Isaac Gellert
that Figel had solu Richard Alexander a
pistol three or four years ago. The wit
mss, however. corroborated the testimony
of Geliert, as he said he had bought the
pistol from Alexander, who had told
Schu te that he had bought it of Figel.
Figel took the stand again and swore
positively he never sold pistol to Alex
ander, and that he never owned any but
the pistol which killed Hoffman and the
