member an Orphan Asylum. i
A surprise came TO st. Joseph's Orphan
Asylum. yesterday afternoon in the shape of
checks TO the amount of $500, made payable
to Sister Superior Epharisa. for the bsne-
fit of the institution. The checks were pre-
sented in person by the donors, witnesses
who have been summoned to testify before
the Industrial Commission, and WHO are
now in the city for that purpose, and the
money they have turned over to this charity
is that paid them by the Commission to
reimburse them for their railway fare and
an allowance of $3.50 per day for expenses.
They are the officers of the American Tin
Plate Company, the American Steel Hoop
Company, and the National Steel Company,

Chicago.
The gift was carried by a delegation con-
sistfng of Prof jerks, the expert examiner
for the Commission; Mr.. Dill, New York
banker; Judge Reid and Mr.. Guthrie. OF
Chicago, and several other gentlemen.
When their errand was made known to Sis
ter Epharisa, she suggested that the boys be
assembled and made acquainted with theti
good fortune. The plan was Immediately
put into execution. The boys were told
that the $500 which they had received was
not the extent of the good fortune which
had befallen them and that the amount
was to be increased 10 a total of 81, 500
This statement was greeted with three
rousing cheers by the joyous youngsters,
and was followed by several patriotic songs.

to forest fires, which, so the book states,
are in most cases started through care
lessness. Many areas, however, are de-
iiperateIy fired by huckleberry pickers to
increase the following seasons crop OF
berries. or by owners of cattle or sheep
who desire to make better pasture for
their herds. These same herds are the
cause of untold destruction to young for
ests. A few historic forest fires are de-
scribed. the chief of which is the great
Peshtigo fire Of October, 1871. This fre
was very severe. 1t burned over an area
of more than 1900 square miles in Wis
consin. and involved a loss, in timber and
other property, OF millions OF dollars. 1t
is said that 1,500 people perished in the
flames.
The most destructive fire of recent years
began September l, 1894, at Hinekiey.
MINI. destroying Hinckley and six other
towns. About five hundred lives were
lost. more than two thousand persons
were left destitute, and the estimated
property loss was S25. 900. 900. The proper
means of fighting forest fires are ex-
planned.

THINGS THEATRICAL.

'In Paradise" which was originally pre-
sented In the French capital under the title

at the Columbia. The piece is from the pen
of those prolific writers, Billhaud, Hene-

gentlemen have turned out an exceedingly
tabascoesque farce; and in its American
lied dress, which has been made by Louis
Harrison and B. b. Valentine. the play is
said to have lost none of its spice AT any
