THE LIBBY PRISON.
The Structure in Chicago to Be De-
mOiished Next Week.

Next week will witness the passing of
the famous old Libby prison. a month ago
the work of demolishing the old structure
was begun in Chicago where IT was carried
from Richmond in 1891 to be used as a
museum of war relics. The enterprise
proved a failure after a year or two, and
it was recently decided to remove the
building to make room for a more profit
able investment. 1t was built originally in
1915 by John EndOrs, the nestor of the
tobacco trade in Richmond. 1t was seized
by the confederate government in 1851 from
the lessee, whose name was Libby, and
converted into a prison a little later. AT
one time there Were 1890 prisoners con-
fined within its walls. During the war Col
Streight ana 1O9 fellow prisoners effected
their escape from the prison by means Of
tunnel, which they dug with small knives
under the walls of the prison.

IN CASE OF FIRE.
Some Simple Rules That May Prevent
Loss of Life.
From the New York Journal.

From the New York Journal
Most of the deaths in the Windsor Hotel
fire were due 10 a lack of confidence in our
1iremen.
Il know of no fire in New York city in
which the loss Of life was unavoidable.
"A general and practical knowledge of
what to DO in case of fire. and confidence
in our firemen, would almost wholly pre-
Vent the loss of life from this cause
These statements were made by T. P.
Tuite, expert on fire prevention and extin-
punishment. last night in a lecture given to
a large audience at Public School No 154,
on ST. AIMS avenue. The lecture was also
an object lesson. With copy of the Jour-
nal MIR. lutte instantly smothered the
flames Of gasoline-drenched rags. and with
a tire-alarn box furnished to him by Chief
Bonner he illustrated the manner of send
ing an alarm.
when you have rung the alarm" he
said. don't 90 away. Stay right there till
the iiremen come. They'll he there in less
than two minutes, when you can direct
them to the exact location of the fire.
ihere IS one great principle you should
rehenber-no air, no ire II there is
small blaze take anything that comes handy
"a bed quilt, or a table cover, or an over
coat-and smother IL Stop draughts; keep
the doors and windows shut
We Will suppose that you are tardy in
aWakiEg; that when you try TO escape from
your room you are met by wall OF fame
in the hall. This is what you must do in
such q case:
Close the door of your room instantly
Raise window and shout till you know
you are located. In the meantime YOU have
ngnted the gas. Now watch for tongues of
flames around the edges Of the door. Drive
them back with Wet towel. You won't
have to wait long for rescue. After a while
the glass of the tranSOm will break and the
smoke viii pour in. With the window
closed. however the flames will meet with
small encouragement Presently the smoke
Will begin TO cause you great inconvenience
You are in danger of SuffOcatiOn. Now is
the time for you TO play your last card
but II i Il good one, and in all likelihood
Will save you. For what | now tell you |
am indebted to ChiSf Bonner.
Lower the top sash of your window two
or three iHcheS-EOt enough TO create a
strong draught-and then raise the bottom
one Get down close to the lower opening
ana you vii! have plenty of fresh air The
stream OF fresh aid viii rush upward and
with the draught at the top of the window
Now you are safe until the firernen come to
your rescue. You can shout to them 10 he
sure that they have located your window
L do not know of fire in New York CITY
where such II course would not have saved
every one You can in this way manage to
exist until the tiremen arrive and after
that no cOOl-headed person is ever lost
In speaking Of the Windsor Hotel fir. Mr.
4ulte said that II was less than two min
uteS after the first alarm was rung when
lht irst streams were turned on the build
ING ana the hremen were at their work of
rescue. VI
