FOOLED THE FIREMEN
A Thrilling Scene in Chicago with
a Ludicrous Ending.
Frantic Woman at a window Leads
Firenghters Astray-Raise Lad
der to Rescue, Her and She
Asks Where Fire Is.

At $3.50 o'clock the other night an
alarm of fire sounded from box at
Fifty-fifth street and Jackson avenue,
Chicago. The Hyde Park companies
made hurried preparations for the run,
and within few seconds after the call
engine company No. 60 and truck No.
As were coming down Fifty-ffth street
with their horses on the dead run.
AS they neared the Keene flats at
Fifty-fifth and jackson avenue the fire.
men were Mortified TO seea woman lean
ing out of the building shouting and
gesticulating wildly. The truck driver
lashed his horses until they fairly flew
over the ground, and the firemen cling
ing to the side of the apparatus shouted
for the woman not TO jump, as help
woul Id soon be at hand. The roar of
the engines coming over the cobble
stones drowned out the woman's cries,
but apparently she was in great agony,
and the firemen thought that the flames
must be creeping near her every mo-
ment. The truck drew up in front of
the building, and dozen willing hands
threw up ladder to the window in
which she stood.
Hold on, for Gods sake, hold" shout
ed Fireman William Donohue, as he
started to ascend to the top.
The cries of the woman came faint
ly to his ears and spurred him to
greater effort.
In her excitement the woman leaned
farther out of the window, and to the
watchers below it seemed as if she had
given up hope and was about to leap
to the street below.
Don't jump!" they shouted. you'll
be safely rescued in minute"
The woman seemed to comprehend,
for she stood still and waited. Fire
man Donohue climbed to the sill and
held up his arms. To his amazement,
the woman made no effort to climb into
the ladder. Instead, she only wrung
her hands and asked:
"Oh, where is the fire? l know it
must be at one of the neighbor's. Where
is the fire, Mr.. Fireman."
"What?" exclaimed the astonished
Donohue, "ain't the fire in your fiat p
mo, no!' cried the woman. "But /
am so anxious about it, because know
that some of my friends are losing their
property"
A great light suddenly dawned on
the bewildered fireman. A softly NUT
tered expression escaped his lips, and
then he gave vent to his disgust by
throwing his legs around the ladder
and sliding to the ground in faster
-,
before.
whats the matter?" asked his
chief.
"She wanted to know where the fire
was" answered Donohue, hopelessly.

MRS. CISCO LOSES HER CASE
Question of COlored Pupils in
Schools.

The New York court of appeals has
affirmed, with costs, the order of the
lower courts in the case of Elizabeth
Cisco (colored) against the school
board of the borough of Queens, New
York city. Mrs. Cisco's children were
sent to the common or public schools,
but admission was refused them on ac-
count of their color, and they were or
dered to the separate, or colored
school. She went to law and was bea en-
In all the lower courts. She then ap-
pealed to the highest court in the state,
which gave a decision against her. The
court says:
"We find nothing in the constitution
which deprived the school board of the
proper management of the schools in
its charge, or from determining where
different classes Of patrons should be
educated, always providing, however,
that the accommodations and facilities
were equal for ALL"

SERVANT GIRL QUESTION.
Cabinet Omcers and Their Families
Not Exempt from the Usual
Trials and TribuIatiOns

Cabinet officers and their families are
not exempt from the usual trials and
tribulations over the servant girl ques-
ton. The other night when Mrs. Smith,
wife of the postmaster general, wished
to dress for the congressional reception,
she had to call in the cook and laun-
dress, as her maid had taken sudden
departure, finding it impossible to
agree with the other servants. Negro
"help" in Washington have way of
leaving, not only without notice, but
often SO quietly their absence is not
even known for some time. Some Of
the mistresses Of houses in resident So
ciety have made formal contracts which
involve loss of pay where servant
leaves without notice. The negroes,
however, well understand that no po-
jlitical official could afford to defend a
suit for wages.

and Tin:cd-Urfits Sol

Among the serious problems con-
fronting Gen. Otis at Manila none has
caused greater agitation, says the New
York Tribune, than the alarming cf-
fects produced upon American soldiers,
particularly the enlisted men, by Sc
ductive beverage which they procured
In native shops and which produced
such physical and mental demoraliza-
tion as to give rise to a suspicion that
the army of occupation was being sys.
tematically drugged or poisoned to
ender them helpless to resist an in
surgent attack. This native drink was
generally known as vino. 1t was ex-
ceehngly palatable and inexpensive,
but single drink of IL untitled u soldier
for active duty for the succeeding "a
hours. while frequent potions sent the
soldiers TO the hospital for long period
of illness. Gen. Hughes, provost mar
shall general of the city, was requested
to make an investigation and suggest
practical course of action. AS a result
OF his investigation he says he finds
there are quite a number of articles

are whitish liquor, and usually favored
and sometimes tinted by some innocent
elements. They arc called numerous
names-aniSado, vino beno, Scotch
whisky, etc. The basc of all of them
is simply alcohol. Commercial alcohol
Is manufactured here extensively from
the refuse of sugar houses. 1t is very
pure and strong, and can be sold at
a price far below that at which any
other Intoxicating drink can be pro-
duced. The wine vendors take this al
I'cohol of commerce and dilute it, per-
haps add Il cheap flavoring, maybe an
innocent coloring element, and sell it
under any name they see fit to bestow
upon it,"
Gen. Hughes does not favor the
sweeping of alcohol from the list of
manufactures in orderto prevent few
Uncontrolled men from getting drunk"
He favors closing shops where these
strong liquors are sold, and further
says: 1T occurred to me that local
commanders might do much them
selves to control their men. A plan
which commends itself to me would be
somewhat as follows:
"Observe the shops in their vicinity
where their men get alcohol and where
they loaf. Declare in orders that such
shops-designating them distinctly
are off bounds of liberty, and by ar
resting and Furnishing these uncon-
trolled men for nonconformity much
of the evil might be dissipated."

LOOKS INTO FUTURE.
Mrs. Gait Says before Twentieth Cen
tury Is Ended She Believes WOm-
an VIII he President.

"It is my hope and firm belief that be-
fore the close of the twentieth century a
woman will have been elected president
of the United States" said Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait, who is looked upon as
the probable successor of Susan b. An
thory as the head of the National Amer
lean Woman Suffrage association.
s.You may think this statement rath-
er strong" continued Mrs. Gait, "but
if were prophe, that would be my
prophecy. The agitation to lead up to
that result must not be sudden, but
gradual.
1--WE women sutfragists are working
steadily and earnestly for gradual
change in the state and national laws
which will put woman in her rightful
position in the world, both political and
social. The strides made by the wom-
an suffrage movement in the last so
years fully justify my hope for the fu-
ture. Why, so years ago the opposition
to co-education was more bitter than
the feeling against woman suffrage is
to-day"
