TERRIBLE PANIC IN THE HOTEL.
Frantic Appeals for Assistance from Scores
of Windows.

In addition to the regular guests OF
| the hotel the windows were crowded by
| a large number of spectators residents
of this city. who had congregated there
/ to witness the parade. Soon after the
| first alarm was given il became an
parent that a great majority of the
occupants of the hotel were either panic
stricken or unable to make their way
! to the ground floor. Windows were
thrown up on every side of the building
and guests-mostly women-in all sta ges
OF terror made their appearance and
| uttered frantic appeals for assistance
10 the crowd below. AS the flames
gathered about them they became more
and more terror stricken ana presently
some of them stood upon the narrow
window stills and beckoned to the specta-
tors that they were about to leap. The
men collected upon the sidewalks ready
t. render any assistance they could.
and in the meantime some of the wom-
en- left the window stills and dropped
to the streets.
In most instances the efforts to catch
them and break their awful fall We're
unavailing, for they struck the side
walk and in most cases broken limbs
were the result. AS soon as the fire
men could get their scaling ladders into
position they climbed the sides of the
building and entered at every window
where there was an unfortunate guest
appealing for assistance. and many
cases of heroic rescue were witnessed
by the throng in the streets. Several
occupants of the hotel appeared at the
windows of the sixth and seventh
stories, and even on the roof, and
leaped to the streets from those points.
Very few of them escaped either in
slant death or injuries which resulted
in their death a short time later.
At the corner of Forty-seventh street
and Fifth avenue. directly across from
the hotel is the home of Miss Helen
Gould, and at her direction many of
the injured were carried there and were
treated by physicians and nurses whom
she had sent for. In the meantime the
entire building was being enveloped in
flames which shot out from every win
dow and formed a picture which struck
terror to all those who were witness
ing it. Within forty or forty-fve min
utes after the fire first broke out the
walls on the Fifth avenue side showed
every indication of falling, and present
ly. with an awful crash. they struck
the street. This fall weakened the walls
on the Forty sixth and Forty-seventh
street sides. and they followed a mo-
ment later. When the walls fell the
brick and mortar and twisted Orders
and corrugated iron filled the streets
on three sides of the hotel.

from aches and pains that follow
healthy organic functions.
Many years of suffering might be
avoided, weary months of lost time
put to good service. and thousands
of lives saved if persons who do not
sleep well and those with overworked
brains and nerves would take Paine's
celery compound. In the cure of
nervous diseases this remedy has
again and again demonstrated its
power to combat these tenacious all
ments.
1t is to general poor health that we
are to look for the cause of headaches,
rheumatism and neuralgia, and to
overcome these troubles it is the gen
eral health that must be raised. Sick
headaches that recur so periodically
with most women and are so grievous
an fliction should be treated as due
to lowered nervous tone. and thor
ough inauguration of the body should
be undertaken with Paine's celery
compound.
The best test of the wonderful
value of Paine's celery compound is
to use it. Any woman will soon be
convinced that it is the one remedy
that can make and keep her well and
healthful and strong.

THRILLING SCENES WITNESSED.
Rescue of an Aged woman-Horror of a
woman's Death.

woman's Death.
| There were many thrilling scenes in
/ the hotel during the early stages of the
, fire. One of the most daring rescues eff
, fected by the firemen occurred on the
J fifth floor on the Fifth avenue front. An
! elderly woman was seen at a window
! and two firemen succeeded in reaching
. the window Immediately underneath.
| One of them climbed to the coping of
the window on which he was standing
and then swung the woman clear of the
window and landed her safely in the
, arms of his companion, who with the
assistance of several other firemen
passed her down to the street.
The first horror occurred just fifteen
minutes after the fire broke out. A
handsome woman appeared at the win
dow of q room on the fourth floor. She
held out her arms to the crowd below.
Then she raised her hands as if suppl
cation, and in a moment climbed to the
window and leaped. She turned about
like top and struck the iron railing in
front of the hotel. Her body seemed to
be impaled there. but it fell off and into
the areaway. She was dead. The wom-
an was Identified as Mrs. Amelia Pad
dock. of Irvington, n. Y.
one of the most thrilling scenes of the
fire-at a time when the building was
a seeming OF Tdne-WdS the
heroic rescue of several women from the
upper stories. One had been carried
down from the fifth story. Mrs. A H.
Fuller, of Pittsburg. then appeared with
her maid at the window of the fourth
story. 1t seemed an age before the lad
der was lowered. Firemen ran up and
with great difficulty brought down Mrs.
Fuller and her maid Just as she was
gotten out of the window a middle-aged
al sJ,,r
of that at which the ladder was placed.
The woman, fearing she would not be
rescued, prepared to jump.
She was warned to keep back. and be-
came panic-stricken and stepped back
into the dense smoke. A hook and lad
der man seeing the desperation of the
woman seized a scaling ladder and went
up story after story through the blind
ing smoke. He climbed to the coping
just as the woman reappeared Selling
her by the waist and holding tightly to
the wall of the building he crept slowly
on the coping and passed the fainting
woman to another fireman who had
braced himself to receive her. There was
a dreadful suspense as the firemen drew
the woman toward him and finally had
her safely on the ladder a tremendous
cheer went UP from the crowd.
The cause of the fire was a lighted
match thrown on a lace curtain by
man who had just lighted a cigarette.
The hotel occupied a block one way and
200 feet the other. The loss is 81 ,00O-

as the St. Patrick's day parade was

were roaring through the interior of the

Prisoners in Aguinaldo's Hands May

Climax at Manila Soon.
Washington, March 1S.-M Cambon,
the French ambassador, called a the
state department Yesterday and official
~ notified Assistant Secretary Hill OF
the signing of the peace treaty by the
queen regent of Spain. The first news
of the signature of the treaty by the
queen regent was conveyed to Secretary
Hay and the officials of the administra
ton through the bulletin of the Asso-
Ciated Press. The secretary was nat
urally gratified at the action which he
had expected would follow the course of
the cortes. The action makes it posi-
BILE to exchange the ratifications and
thus complete the treaty within the
time set by the treaty itself as the max
imum.
Took Seven Months to Complete.
The protocol was signed Aug. Is last
at the White House by the president
and Ambassador Cambon Dec. 10; the
treaty was signed at Paris by the COM
missioners Feb. 6, ratified by the United
States senate after a memorable Strug-
gle; Feb. 10 the president gave it his
signature and now, seven months and
four days after the signing of the proto-
col. the Spanish queen regent gave her
formal assent and signature. Official
news of the action at Madrid was not
conveyed to the state department before
the close of the department for the day.
NJ. Cambon called at the department
about ten minutes to o'clock and in
the absence of Secretary Hay called up
en- Assistant Secretary Hill. He told
the latter that he believed the treaty
had been signed.
Does Not Affect the Volunteers.
Contrary to an expectation that
seemed to have obtained in some quar-
tiers the signature of the treaty yester-
day does not involve the immediate dis
charge of all the volunteer soldiers. 1t
was stated positively at the state de-
partment that legally the treaty does
not go into effect until the notifications
have been exchanged, and it will further
be necessary for the president to pro-
claim it before the people of the United
States, including the soldiers. can know
officially that the war is over. In all
other respects, however, the state de-
partment will treat the war as at an
end.
Those Prisoners We Are Good For.
The signing of the treaty cannot in
any manner affect the status of the
Spanish prisoners in the hands OF Aguin-
aldo, for the United States government
is doing all it can to secure their re-
lease. Still, it is apprehended that the
Spanish government being able to ad-
dress itself directly to the United States
government soon the notifications
are exchanged perhaps will solicit au-
thority to resume direct negotiat lions with
the insurgents looking to the release of
the prisoners. If the Spanish govern
ment should insist on this, some dis
agreeble questions may be raised, in
volving the formal recognition of the
insurgents by Spain; in which case, per-
haps. it might claim the right to deal
directly with Aguinaldo.
