". E. HENDRICKS
 SUDDENLY LEAVES Member of NorthSide Fire De-
 partment. HIS WIFE Is VERY UNEASY Has Been Gone Since Saturday With out Permission-Said He Was Co., ing to Chattanooga But Is
 Not There Now.
HIS WIFE IS VERY UNEASY

W r. Hendricks. member of the fire department of this city. has suddenly dis appeared and no trace of him can be found Mir. Hendricks left the city hall Saturday night and nothing has ben seen of him since.
 At first no one thought seriously~of his absence, put he did not put in his ap- pearance at the fire department Monday, fears were entertained that he had met with foul play. His wife was consider ably worried over her husbands absence and requested one of the fremen to tele- graph a friend of his in Chattanooga to know if he had been there. A message was sent to a fireman living in that place, but the answer came back that Hendricks had not been seen. Hendricks brother firemen and others had loaned him money amounting to nearly $l50. and claim to be in the dark as to his wherea bouts The theory that ne has met with foul play has also been advanced.
 Had Considerable Money Hendricks drew his salary last week, and il is supposed that he had considerable amount of money on his person when he left the department Saturday night. No direct cause can be attributed for the mans sudden disappearance. Besides the money he had borrowed fom his compa:- icns, 1t was afterwards found that he owed numerous pills in the city. If ne had left the city on account of these debts some think it strange that his wife would have also been left in the dark in regard to the !. affair.
 Chief Mullen said last night that Hen- dricks had left the department on Satur- day, and none of the men had seen him since He left without permission and has since offered no excuse for his absence. The chief further stated that Hendricks had gone away owing him $70.
 Hendricks has served the fire department of Birmingham for a number of years, and was quite wel known in the city. He was driver of the Nortnside engine, and on account of his fleshy proportions was fa- miliar figure around the .Northside de- partment He has round, jolly face, and his forehead is disiisUced by d large scar over one of his eyes.
 No one can be found who saw him leave the city and though d constant lookout has been kept up for him, not a word of information in regard to his whereabouts has been received. His friends claim that this gives strength to the foul play theory.

~THE PLAY@

For Eugene Blair's visit to OtBrien's op- the Wallack theater success, "A Lady of Quality The play is filled with intense interest. and is staged magnfcently. Miss Blair, in selecting the romance of Mrs Frances Hodgson Burnett has added ma. terially to her success as an emotional ac- tress. The story appeals not to limited class, but to everybody with a spark os symr lthy and d liking for an interesting story. There are many reasons for its pop- ularity-its pathetic theme, the charming pictures of city and country life in aristo- cratic households and striking realism. It's potent element, however. Is undoubtedly the strong human interest that penetrates each scene. To this all classes and creetfs must yield their sympathy. Miss Blair has surrounded herself with company of play CTS competent to handle the characters as- signed to them.
 A special matinee will be given on Wednesday afternoon. On this occasion "Divorcons" will be given. This is un- doubtedly the comedy success of Sardou; and as Sardou is acknowledged che great est of living French playwrights, it caa easily be understood that "Divorcons' takes high rank.
 Hall Caine Israel zangwill and John Philip Sousa are ardent admirers of Mill dred and Rouclere. This indicates the high class of intelligence that appreciates these marvellous entertainers. Richard Croker attended every one of their August per formances in Saratoga. That ought to make them strong with the democrats. Tn Richfeld Springs the following week they were highly complimented by T. c. Platt and Governor Roosevelt. so the republicans surely know something about good things. The general public delight in them wher- ever they appear, and after all that's about the best approval they can get. They will be here October II.

came up for hearing yesterday morning
before Judge Lewis in chambers. and was
adjourned until $3.50 a. m. today. The
adjournment was necessary to secure the
attendance of the judge and clerk Of the
municipal court, who have been sub
pOenaed as witnesses, and who are want
ed to explain some facts about the loose
system of keeping municipal court rec
ords
Miss Glover Is a colored woman with An
unenviable police court record. After
numerous appearances before the munich
pal judge she was finally arrested last
November, on a charge of assault pre-
ferred by man who alleged she had bat
tered him I'D with a beer bottle. The
case was dismissed at the time with the
understanding that Lady Jane would
bid farewell to st. Paul for all time.
This, however, she failed to do, and when
she returned to the city recently she was
arrested on the street. Through ner at
torney, George w. Walsh, she secured a
writ of habeas corpus returnable yester-
day.
The application for the writ sets up
that Nellie Glover, in November, 1898, was
ordered by the municipal court of St.
Paul ''to leave the city and not to re-
turn thereto" Furthermore, that on
July u she returned, and five days later
was arrested and committed to jail with
out any trial. the filing of any complaint
or proceedings taken by the court. Ac-
cording to the police court records Nellie
has been numerously charged with dis.
cond.," I'D. and d." "As." and other Of
lenses that her attorney claims are not
known in the statutes The district
court has ruled on this point, and it is
the opinion of prominent attorneys that
writ Of habeas corpus would be sus-
tanned in any of the cases.
THE system of record keeping in the
municipal court is not only worthless
but absurd said a member of the bar
yesterday, "for all the records in this
Glover case show she Knight have been
sentenced or charged with being dark
and dangerous" or any of the things that
Sd. and d. might stand for"

BURNS MAY BIZ FATAL
MRS CHARLES SCHLICHTING TER
RIBLY INJURED BY AN EXPLO-
SION OF GASOLINE
WAS ENVELOPED IN FLAMES

FOO Much Oil Was Allowed to Enter
the Cups of a Gasoline Stove at
Which the Injured Lady's Sister
Was at WOri5-Fire Commitment
ed to Can of Oil Which Mrs.
SchHchting Tried to Remove.
Mrs. Charles Schlichting, living at 1901
East Seventh street, was. perhaps, fatally
burned by gasoline shortly after o'clock
yesterday morning. Her face was charred
by the flames, while both hands and arms
are badly burned. About the chest Mrs.
SchIichtfng also sustained severe burns
and both limbs are bHstered to the hips.
The indications are that she also in
hailed some of the flame. DR.. Binder who
is attending the unfortunate woman. says
he hopes to save her life, but that the
shock and inhalation of fire may prove
fatal.
The accident happened at Mrs. Schltcht-
ing's home before breakfast yesterday
morning. She was in the yard assisting
her husband, who conducts a dairy, in
milking. Miss Schlichtiug, the injured
womans sister-in-Iaw. was preparing the
morning neal. In filing the gasoline
stove Miss Schlichting allowed too much
oil to enter the cups. When the oil was
lighted the flames burst forth. and the
oil that had run onto the floor caught
fire. Miss Schlichting ran into the yard,
calling for help, and Mrs, SchIichting hur-
ried into the house. A five-gallon can of
gasoline stood close to the stove. The
flames had already reached it. Mrs
Schlichting grabbed the can to throw 1t
out the door. AS she did so q volume of
flame shot from the opening Of the can
into her face. 1t was not an explosion
but sudden puff of fire. The blaze
struck Mrs. Schlichting full in the face.
She was overcome by the fire and fell to
the floor, dropping the blazing can. More
oil ran on the floor and over her clothes.
In an instant she was completely sur
rounded by fire. Mr.. Schlichting ran into
the house, and seeing his wifes terrible
plight sought to rescue her. Rushing into
the fire he seized her about the waist and
half carried, half dragged her out of the
burning oil, and then smothered the
flames still burning about her body With
wet bed clothing and buckets of water
Mr.. Schlichting succeeded in putting out
the fire in the kitchen.
When Dr. Binder arrived he found Mrs.
Schlichting unconscious. She was fright
fully burned. and the physician hastily
applied every possible relief. Mrs.
Schlichting regained consciousness later
but was very weak. Last evening her
condition was such that DR.. Binder con-
sidered it best to have her removed to st.
Luke's hospital.
Mr.. Schlichting was painfully burned
about the hands and arms. Both hands
were blistered as we'll as his arms clear
to the shoulders. while his face was
slightly singed. His burns are not
serious. Mrs. Schlichting Is the mother
Of two children, the youngest but four
months of age.

BROKE HIS LEG.
But 1t Was a. Wooden One, and q
RfngIfng Clown the Victim.

Everybody has heard the comic song
Zone Of His Legs Was Longer Than 1t
Really Ought to Be- Well, there was
an illustration of this at a recent per-
Torrance Of Ringing Bros circus which
might have ended seriously for one of the
clowns but for his agility and presence Of
mind.
1t occurred in that turn or stunt"
as it is called in the vernacular, in which
several clowns enter the ring on stills
about ten feet high. They drink imagin-
airy red liquor from bottles, and presently
each clown Stimulates intoxication. A
real jag" of the staggering variety Is
tolerably hard to manage, but not more
so than a pretended one on high stills.
A box party was particularly apprecfa-
tive, and their applause so stimulated
one Of the clowns that he staggered
around in a way he had never attempted
before. In a violent effort to recover his
balance one of his stills broke off short
at the foot.
This left the man with only one silt to
stand on, and thus encountered fall
meant perhaps a broken neck-almost
certainly a fractured limb. A cry of dis
may went up, but the clown did not lose
his head, and by a quick movement he
threw himself against = the box front,
clinging to it until assistance reached
him. His remaining silt was unstrapped,
and he reached terra firma in safety, &C
ccmpanied by the applause of the relieved
audience.
