THE WINDSOR HOTEL TRAGEDY

Sadder reading than the account
of the Windsor hotel tragedy is not of
ten put before the people. 1t Is a story
of unusual horror. That such a trag
edy could happen in the daytime will
seem strange to many, but a sudden
and leaping fire, the bewilderment and
desperation occasioned by it, and the
lack Of immediate help will explain it.
If the fire had broken out in the night
the loss of life would undoubtedly have
been much more serious and the num-
Der of the injured much greater. The
list of the dead and injured will be
eagerly scanned in many homes this
morning, and there will be some pitiful
discoveries. There will be the usual
talk about the need of fireproof hotels
and then the excitement will subside
until the next time. 1t is to be hoped
that the next time will be far distant
in spite of human short-slghtedness and
carelessness.

st. Patrick's day in the morning was
all right and it was all right the rest of
the day. If the discontinuance Of the
st. Patrick's procession has brought
pleasant weather on the 18th of March
sumed. But there are some who miss
the parade with it's gaily prancing
steeds, its earnest marching men, and
the wondrous hats that were won't to
stick up here and there in the line. Who
remembers, though, when a Patrick s
day procession wasn't rained or showed
on and shorn of it's pride and glory?

FASHION NOTES.
In Bright and Dark Layers.

Tight fitting bodices Of all over lace
worn over an underwaist cut very low
front and back and off the shoulders,
are much in vogue. The effect is rath-
err startling, especially when the I'M
der bodice is pink that blends with
the neck tints, and when the lace is the
soft ivory tint so stylish. Often the
lace bodice is made one with short
overdress effect. Lace is thus combin-
cd with cloth Sometimes a scarf-like
piece of the cloth is bound about the
figure at the bust line, widened to
reach the belt at the back and narrow

der the buckle.
Gowns made chiefly of some trans
parent fabric over a bright silk are not
so plentiful as they were season or
two ago, but they are occasional and
always handsome if tastefully planned.
One was sketched for this picture, the
silk being cerise over which was fish
net grenadine, the skirt having a deep
Spanish f1ounce of spangled black lace.
The bodice was cerise satin, the single
bretelle was from the lace and yoke
and sleeves were white beaded lace.
On the shoulder opposite the bretelle
were large cerise rosettes Skirts of
this order lend themselves so prettily
to the sheath fit and clinging drapery,
IL is to be wondered that more of them
are not seen.
New standards as to fit have devel-
oped several new ideas in undergar-
ments. One just appearing is a jersey
silk corset cover High enough in the
neck to pull firmly over the top of the
corset line, 1t draws closely to the lines
of the figure and is heavy enough in
texture to soften satisfactorily all trace
of corset lines at top, lower edge and
where the corset laces. 1t fits closely
over the hips and falls to little above
the knee, widening slightly. 1t is
heavily weighted at the edge, that it
may hold down closely, the weight

HENRY J.. GOODUyy

Henry L. Goodwin, of East Hartford
died yesterday. Everybody in Connect
icut knows who he was, and very many
know great deal better than thew
once did what he was. When he first
felt called to attack what he believed to
be wrongs there was much questioning
of his motives and his quality. But he
didn't mind that, or if he did he didn't
allow 1t to prevent his continuance in
the way he had chosen He persisted
with wonderful persistence, and though
he didn't do all that he hoped to do he
did do much and he established himself
in the confidence and respect of the fair
minded. For years before his death he
had been generally recognized as a
peculiarly unselfish and useful citizen.
Troublesome to some, to be sure, and
perhaps at times not tactful But hon.
est, and Jealous for what he considered
right He wasn't well supported in his
work by many of those who ought to
have helped him, but during the last
few years he had considerable open en-
couragement. But encouraged or dis
couraged, popular or unpopular, praised
or reviled, he held firmly and steadily
to his course, conscious of the rectitude
of his intent and sure that wrong wasn't

An interesting experiment is about to
be made in Vernon avenue, Chicago. A
contract for paving one block of that
thoroughfare, between 2Sth and Goth
Streets at cost of $2,346S0, was let
not long ago and the property-owners
have objected to the price. They made
proposition to the board of local i'm
provements, in which they agreed to do
the work themselves for $2,112.12 and
try it.

In his Corean Sketches Mr. Gale tells
this story of Chinese battle: Most
of those who after the battle came to
the dispensary in Mukden for treatment
were wounded in the back. How is it
that sons of the gods are wounded in the
afterparts only?' asked the foreigner.
1T looks as if they had run from the
barbarians.' we advanced all right,
said the Chinaman, according to mill
tary methods. Then we put on fierce
faces like Che-kaiYang, the God of
War, certain that the Wo-Jen would
run as they would have done if they
had not been hopeless savages, unac-
quainted with Chinese characters We
rushed on them, breathing forth fire, but
they moved not. Then our General
shouted "Victory!" for we had para

There is in Michigan a law allowing
two cents a head as bounty for the de-
struction or English sparrows. This
law has not been effective in extermin-
ating the sparrows but it has cost the
similar law is proposed in Wisconsin.
The Audubon society of that State is
opposing the bill. The society explains
that it is desirable to get rid of Eng
lish sparrows in this country and that
500, 900 would be too much for Wiscon-
sir, to pay to secure that object. While
thus favoring the determination of the
sparrow the society points out that the
bounty scheme is impracticable, and
will hardly decimate the obnoxious
birds. il it does that much. Fears are
expressed that the bill, if passed, will
establish the business of raising SPAR
rows. for a healthy pair of birds will

enemy to the cat, and half dozen
sparrows will easily make a tom cat

The record of an examination held in
Natal by the superintendent of educa-
tion contains some gems. Here are
specimens: 'Mr. Gladstone was the
first man who ever knew English gram
mar thoroughly. He was educated at
Mr. Rugbys school, Bismarck was
q very clever man indeed. He invented
steel and made it into iron. He was
succeeded by his father as viceroy Of
India" A paper was set on Health
and Temperance" and contained this
question: write out some simple d.
rections to be followed in cases Of con-
vulsions in infants" This was one of
the answers: put the infant quickly
into a bath of boiling water up to the
neck. Put ice on it's head. Then give
him a mild epidemic, followed by a
teaspoonful of castor OIL.
