THE COLISEUM FIRE.
Now Stated That Can of Gasoline, Care

Now Stated That Can of Gasoline, Care
& lessly Handled, Caused It.
! CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-The Coliseum,
which burned Christmas eve, was set
bn fire by a. pet dog. An explosion of
gasoline set the dog on fire. Lolita,
dancer>in the Cuban village, says Frank
Murphy, an employe in the X-ray
booth, confessed to her that he caused
the explosion. She says he told this to
her and her mother when he called on
them about the benefit to be given the
exhibitors. Lolita said:
''Murphy told me today how the fire
s:arted. It was caused by an explosion
Of gasoline in the X.ray exhibit. A big
lamp was used to light the booth, BUTT
was not considered sufficient, and the
manager Of the show sent Tor gaso-
line torch. Murphy said man named
Bowen gave the gasoline torch to
+ the manager and about 20 minutes past
5 o'clock Murphy carried 5-gallon can
of gasoline. The lamp was burning
close by, and when Murphy went to fill
his gasoline torch he was quite near the
burning lamp. Morley the manager of
the exhibit, was Oh ladder almost over
the lamp arranging the drapery> about
the booth. Murphy started to pour the
gasoline into the tank of the torch,
which had not been lighted, but the
fluid caught from the burning lamp
near by and went up in puff.
| ''There was little pet dog in the
place, connected with the exhibit, and
when the gasoline exploded the dog
was covered with the burning oil. The
poor beast rushed around in terror and
set fire to the drapery Of the booth,
which hung to the floor. Quicker than
flash the whole trimming of the booth
was on fire, and the blaze was rising to
the balcony, where our show was locat.
ed. The men about the booths near by
ran and got the extinguishers, but they
would lot work. A hose was turned
on but they could get no water.
u. Morales, a Mexican dancer
warned me to get out and were just
getting to the doors, when the gas tank
that supplied the calcium lights for the
tight rope walkers exploded and the
place was mass Of flames"
Lolita's story about the origin of the
fire was corroborated by Frank Hat
field, the doorkeeper.
Murphy, when seen, denied that the
explosion was caused by can Of gas
oline. He thought the drapery caught
fire from cigarette or cigar stump.

SUICIDE OF MISS WELLS
Prominent Washington Society Lady
FolloWs Miss Herbert's Exampla.

Prominent Washington Society Lady
Follows Miss Herbert's Example.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The recent
tragic death of Miss Leila Herbert, the
daughter of the ex-secretary of the
navy, is given as the reason for the
suicide which occurred during the day
of Miss Annie Virginia Wells, an &C.
complished young society woman and
daughter of Mr.. Lewis S. Wells, we'll
known attorney. The young woman
shot herself through the heart with
her brothers revolver. Miss Wells had
met Miss Herbert number of times
and was very much attached to her.
She herself had been confined to the
house for four months by illness, and
this, combined by the shock caused by
the death of her friend, brought on
melancholia which resulted in suicide.
The deed was apparently entirely un.
premeditated, and coming Immediately
after Christmas festivities in the house,
completely prestrated her aged mother.

kLONDIkE RELIEF.

Canadian C.saials in Wash Ngton to Talk
the Matter Over.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Secretary Al
ger hasreceiyed word that Hon. Clifford
Sifton, minister Of the interior, and j.
A. MacKenna Of the same department.,
by invitation Of Secretary Alger, have
arrived here to confer with the secre-
tary relative to KLondike relief meas
ures. The secretary originally intended
to go to Ottawa, but has been suffering
from an attack of grippe, which con.
fines him closely to his home. Secre-
rary Alger hopes by a personal confer
ence with the Canadian officials to ar
range for the issue Of permit from
the Canadian government for 50 armed
United States troops to serve as guards
for the relief expeditions to pass
through Canadian territory. Another
object of the conference is to adjust
some customs questions that are
involved in the sending of the
expeditions, such, for instance, as
the remission of duties on the food
supplies that are to be sent in. Another
object is to secure the cooperation Of
the Canadian mounted police, which,
it is not doubted, will be cheerfully ex-
tended and will be of the greatest value
through the thorough familiarity of
these hardy men with the coun try
through which the expeditions must
pass.
A cablegram received by the secre.
tary from Mr.. Kjellman, the govern.
ment reindeer herder who is now in
Alien, Norway, states that he is busy
collecting reindeer needed for the trans
portation of the supplies to the Klon.

She Was Salvation Lassie; He, Her Hus-
. band-Traveling Men Didn't Know That.
] A clever trick was worked by Walter
Redmond and his wife at Union station
by which several travelling men were
duped out Of their money. At the end
of long seat in the waiting room was
a pretty and modest looking young wo-
man attired in a Salvation Army uni
form. She was very intent upon a pa
per which she was reading and paid lit
tie attention to the crowd of travelling
men standing near her.
Aside from the crowd was well
dressed young man, who was walking
back and forth by the newsstand puff
ing away at fragrant cigar. Finally a
member of the crowd of travelling men
remarked upon the beauty of the little
Salvation Army worker. All eyes were
fixed on the little woman, and she re-
ceived many compliments. The prosper
Gus looking young man who had been
walking near the group of drummers
drew near to the crowd. He, too, was
struck with the appearance of the wo-
man. II ~: 5.s's e.
"I'll give any one Of you fellows $15
if you kiss that girl" said he. -.
Those in the crowd took the dare.
One spoke up, however, and said to the
stranger who had offered the money,
"I'll bet you $40 that you can't kiss
her, 81.
The stranger hesitated for several sec.
| onds and then said
+ "I'll just take that bet "
The money was put up. and the
stranger, who had given his name a:
Walter Redmond, walked over toward
the little woman in uniform, and, after
bowling profoundly, took seat by he1
side
At first the woman seemed to be very
| indignant, and the travelling man
thought he had the $50 won. A minute
| later, however, Redmond's arm stole
| around the woman's waist. The specta
tors then began to open their eyes wide
| One of them said: ''That fellow has 9
whole lot Of influence over that girl. Il
may be that he is a hypnotist. Red
mond talked for probably two minutes
| and then kissed the woman.
+ Redmond walked over to the stake
holder and received his money. He ther

man quickly arose from her seat, and
taking his arm, walked to Ninth ant

One Way of Putting Rejected Exhibits to
Good Use.
They We're riding on the Fourteenth
street cars and their conversation was
edifying. The man with the long hair
was evidently sculptor, and his COM
panion, a large, jolly looking fellow,
was trying to persuade him to.present a
work of art to some society woman who
had mania for collecting bric-a- brac
and articles of vertu.
II told her that you would, Thought,
in time present her with some memen-
to, a statuette illustrating your peculiar
style. Was wrong in saying sop
The sculptor answered Indignantly:
II know her value Of art, and tell you
she cannot distinguish between manu-
featured trinkets and works Of art. In
fact, she thinks all artists are manufac-
turers and can turn out statuettes as
easily as the rich stove ornament man
who gave her nickel plated mule.
Then, too, brass fixture artist gave
her something from the brass, foundry,
and she thought it great. New er, in my
Judgment, could she appreciate true
work of art
"Then you refuse to give her sam
pie of your work? Remember, she has
great influence
II do not refuse. I'll give her that
model in plaster Of paris which was re-
fused by the committee last month. She
will think it great, whether or not the
committee did,
"Good! She will think it magnifi-
cent and get you an order. New York

A Dramatic Assassination.

BY far the most dramatic royal assas-
sination was that of the Emperor Paul
of Russia on March "a, 1901, by his
mobiles AS usual Paul had retired to
rest booted and spurred and in his regi-
mentals At the dead of night he was
awakened by an unusual noise. The
the only faithful sentry, as it proved,
in the palace-was being killed by nine
mobiles. They burst into the room and
began to attack the emperor. Paul hid
behind chairs and tables and begged for
his life. He offered to make each of his
assailants prince He offered to abdi-
cate in vain. Then he made wild dash
for the window, fearfully gashing him
self, but he was dragged back. He
seized chair and for some time kept
the nine Of them at bay, and only after
terrific struggles was he seized and
strangled with his own sash.

A clock is set for certain time, and
when the proper minute is reached the
mechanism "throws'' lever, which
draws match across piece of sandpa-
per and ignites the kindling. One of the
latest patents is for street lamPwhich
has a clockwork apparatus attached to
| it. At the correct moment for which
the machine is set it closes an electric
| circuit, at the same time opening the
gas pipe Immediately the gas is ignit-
ed, and it burns until shut off by the
clockwork at daybreak in the morning
In this way the street lamps all over a
city may be made to light themselves
simultaneously without the interven-
! ton of human hands. Il
A citizen of Austin is the author of a
sort Of water clock that is wound by
rain. On the roof Of a house is trough
that catches the rainwater, which flows
| into the tank. When the tank is filed
| to certain point, it empties the water
into bucket which is connected by q
cord with the winding drum Of an or
binary clock. The bucket falls and BY
its weight pulls up the clock weight,
thus winding the clock. Finally the
bucket reaches the floor, when q valve
in its bottom opens and the water runs
out. Then it ascends and. resumes its
original position, 90 as to be ready "a
wind the clock up again after awhile.

Like Mother Like Son.

One OF the most remarkable among
the feats of the postofiice in finding
people and such fcats are many-is
recorded by recent New York paper.
A letter WAS received at the Office in
that city addressed simply:
ITO my mother,
New York, America"
The letter came from ireland. but as
there are 10 New York several women
who have sons in ireland, the postofiice
people dcspaired of finding the right
one. However, the letter was turned
over to the ''deciphering department"
Now it so happened that on the very
day Of its receipt there an Irishwomau
came to the general delivery window
and said:
Have ye lctther from me b'y?"
The fact that woman with the cast
of mind required for such an inquiry
should come at that time, struck the
clerk, who had heard of the letter for
a woman whose name was not given,
as something more than a coincidence.
1t was quite possible that such q woman
might be the mother OF such son.
So he took the letter, observed the
postmark, and asked the woman where
her "b'y" lived. She gave the name
of the place with which the letter was
stamped. Some other questions were
asked and the answers noted down.
Then the clerk gave the woman the
letter, on the condition that she should
open il on the spot and return it II it
mere not for her.
She opened 1t, and 10. its contents
proved conclusively that 1t was really
from her son in ireland. Youths Com
