noon, just as the st. Patrick's day
parade was passing the building, and
in few moments they had leaped up
TO the roof and enveloped the entire
Fifth avenue and Forty-seventh street
fronts of the hotel Ten minutes later
the flames were roaring through the
interior of the hotel and all escape by
means of stairways and elevators was
cut off. There was the widest scene of
excitement within and without the
building. Hundreds of guests and en-
ployes were in the hotel when the fire
broke out, and for many of them es-
cape with safety was impossible Prob
ably from ten to fifteen lives were lost
within half hour, and 30 or 40 per-
sons were injured in jumping from
windows and in rushing through the
roaring flames in the corridors and on
the stairways. Many who were injured
died later at nearby residences and al
hospitals, and others who made wild
leaps to the stone sidewalk were so
badly injured that they are still hover
ing between life and death.

CHARLES WILLIAM STUBS, DEAN OF ELY
LECTURES BEFORE THE COMPARA-
TIVE LITERATURE SOCIETY


A large audience assembled at Carnegie Lyceum
Yesterday morning 10 listen 10 the Introductory ad-
dress before the Comparative Literature Society
by Charles william Stubs. dean OF Ely
The subject was Poetry and Life" and the pri-
mary question answered by the lecture was, How
far does poetry exercise n serious influence over
our livesY' The speaker refuted the modern prac-
teal idea that cultivation Of the poetic IDEAL is
an injury rather than a benefit TO the working
classes.
Bodily mseries," said Mr.. Stubs ARE most
felt by those who have only bodily pleasures, and
I agree with Goethe that we must take care OF the
beautiful and the useful will take care Of itself"
He disagreed with Plato that the emotional Is
the least part OF the soul OF man. and he demon
strated that modern life demands that the poetic
faculty be wisely trained. II men to practise
virtue the emotional must be the motive power.
THE function OF poetry" he said. lis idealize
every thought affection and work and thus trans
figure life. The mission Of the true poet is thus to
interpret life"
Several illustrations were given TO show how a
noble ideal affects the practical conduct OF life and
inspires patriotism and devotion in National lie.
The Society Of Comparative Literature Is study
ing historically the development Of literature I'm the
leading civilizations Of the world This year Will
be devoted 10 the development OF the early epic.
The comparison OF countries and cViliza tons as
Babylon. India, Finland Iceland and Medieval
France, will be made to determine 10 what extent
processes in literary evolution. The fundamental
thought OF the society. expressed by the pres-
dent, Charles Sprague Smith Is to prove the unity
OF life.
The next lecture on December O. will be given
