IN HOTEL FIRES.


Chief Hugh Bonner Of the New York
fire department gives the following ad-
vice to those who would avoid death
In a hotel fire:
"The first thing to do upon being
shown to a room In hotel Is to make
a survey OF the Railways and the stair
ways, and discover just where every
hall leads, just where every staircase
is, and what the chances are for es-
cape by particular Railways and stair
ways In case of fire. II the frees
capes are placed ut the ends of the
halls, learn their location, so that you
can find them in the dark.
I'm this state II is required by law
that there be portable fire-escape In
every room.
'Tn case a guest Is suddenly alarmed
by fire In hotel 1t behooves him TO
keep his head. See that the door is
tightly closed; close and fasten the
fanlight, and then go without delay
for the outside means Of escape. In
variably take the outside route If there
Is one.
''If there is a rope in the room, and
man has a wife or children with him,
he should first let them TO the ground
by tying the rope around them and
lowering them carefully, allowing the
rope to slide out over the window sill.
After the women have been taken care
Of 60 down the rope. This is a simple
matter, and anybody can do II. All
that is necessary is to take half turn
around the leg, keep the legs close to-
gether, and allow the rope TO slide
along the ball of the foot. This acts
as a brake, and the weakest man can
come down from any height without
difficulty. Never try TO come down
hand under hand.
I'm case II becomes necessary to try
the halls, stoop low to keep out of the
smoke and heat; don't get excited: and
invariably keep to the inside of a
stairway.
''If the flames are so advanced that
escape by the halls and stairways is
impossible; If there is no rope in the
room, or if circumstances forbid the
use of the rope, get outside the win
dow, close it and wait for the firemen.
II possible, get your feet to the coping
Of the window below and hang TO your
own window sill with your hands. Do
not look down, for you are apt TO get
dizzy and fall. Above all things keep
cool. Rescue will be effected almost
invariably If these instructions are car
ried out. In this city firemen are on
hand almost as soon as the alarm is
sounded, and if the door Of room is
closed the fanlight is closed and the
window is closed, it will take an un-
commonly swift fire to beat the fire
laddies to the person outside on the
window ledge"
The true northerner., 1899-05-31

The modish corset is distinguished
from its fellows by being laced with
no less than three strings This is to
enable one TO have close fit over the
hips and over the bust without pulling
the garment in over the waist. An
old-fashioned corsage was tightly
drawn in at the waist and the dis
placed figure was pushed upward to-
ward the chin, or outward and down
ward below the waist. But since high
wasted figures are hopelessly out Of
date, the Parisians do Their best to ex-
tend the waist line downward, and un-
expected success has crowned their
efforts. The corselet is cut out in
front TO secure a decollete effect. There
Is no pushing up, but a dropping of
the natural lines of the body. On try
ing on corselet IL is usual for q GUS
toner to place row OF pins at the top
to indicate how far she wishes the cor
set cut down. This is done, and the
top of the corset is then rebound be-
fore being sent home to the purchaser
If there Is separate corset lace used
at the waist line for about four evelet
holes on each side it will be possible to
leave the waist Enlightened when you
draw the upper and lower laces in to
secure a close fit over the hips, so the
sheath skirt may fit smoothly here.

Thought He Could Improve Them.

1t was a bleak afternoon, but they
strolled through Jackson Park to the
lake front, under the miserable pre-
text advanced by the young man that
it would be interesting to see the
waves come rolling in.
What dreary prospect" she ex.
claimed, as they sat down on a park
bench.
II think, myself replied the young
man. satisfying himself by a compre.
hensive glance around that nobody
could see him, II think. myself, the
surroundings could be improved
upon"
Whereupon his arm stole about her
waist-and they continued to gaze out
over the dark, gloomy waters OF Lake
Michigan,
The true northerner., 1899-05-31

JOHN p. Altgeld was the only speaker
at the Bryan antitrust" dinner in st
Louis who used the phase "l6 to l" in
his speech. What a change! ITO aban.
don the ratio is to abandon the ISSUE" he
said. "The free coinage of gold and sill
yer at the ratio of Is to is our only sal
vation." With such silver extremists as
Altgeld clinging to the old issue, there
seems to be little prospect of reunitng
the democracy on an antitrust, anti
imperialist platform.

Mnch-NInrried Pennle.

\ few days since M CampObasso
near Milan. an old woman committed
suicide at the age of 103 Her reason
for the deed was that the infrmities OF
age compelled her to remain seated IN
her chair. She had been married sev-
en- times, her last wedding taking place
when she was 81.
1t is reported in the register of
Brant Broughton, Lincolnshire, that on
April %, 1873. one Thomas Watson
buried his eighth wife.
Four years ago DR.. Mary Spencer of
Bourbon, L. S. A., was married al
Meath, Wales, to her eleventh husband.
The most remarkable feature OF this
case was that the lady at the time of
the ceremony was only A, her initial
matrimonial experience having been
undertaken at the immature age of 10.
On April 2S, 1872, James Gay died
at Bordeaux, at the age OF 101. Dur
ing his long life he had taken unto
himself no less than Is wives.
The foregoing cases, however. pale
before that mentioned by John Evelyn
in his diary. He writes: Toward the
end of August returned to Haarleon.
They showed us a cottage where they
told us dwelt a woman who had been
married 10 her twenty-fifth husband,
and, being now widow, was prohib-
tied TO marry in the future: yet ii
could not be proved that she had ever
made away with any of her husbands,
though the suspicion had brought her
divers times into trouble. Golden

Avoid all drying inhalants and use that
which cleanses and heals the membrane
Ely's Cream Balm is such a remedy and
cures catarrh easily and pleasantly. Cold
in the head vanishes quickly. Price, 30
cents at druggists.
Catarrh caused difficulty in speaking
and to great extent loss of hearing. BY
the use of Ely Cream Balm, dropping
of mucus has ceased, voice and hearing
have greatly improved.-J. w. Davidson,
Atty at Law, Monmouth, Ills.

A JOINT resolution is now before the
legislature, proposing an amendment to
the constitution fixing the compensation
of members of the legislature at $500 for
the term of Office. While the Northern
er is, in general way, opposed to null
tiplication of offices or increase of sal
aries, we believe fixed salary for legis-
lators would be beneficial to the state,
and that compensation of $500 would
secure larger number OF able men at
Lansing. BY all means, let us have the
amendment.
