CHICAGO HOTEL BURNED.
Two Persons Killed and Fourteen In
jured.

Chicago, May 1.-two persons were
killed. one is missing. and fourteen
were injured in a fire which early to-
day destroyed the Hotel Helene at 10
Ito ia Fifty-third street. Five of the
injured will probably die.
The loss to the building and furn-
ishings was $4,000.
The destruction of the hotel was re-
plete with daring rescues and narrow
Escapes, in which James Mcneil, tn"
porter, earned himself the title Of he
70. He was the first to warn the sleep
ing occupants of their danger. He car
ried Helen Joseph down a swaying lad
Ider from the third floor, and then. amid
cheers of the o%nlookers, turned to the
second floor, where a woman was ly-
ing unconscious, her clothing on fire.
He carried her to the window and
dropped her into the arms of policeman
Wolf. The effort and the heat were
too much for Mcneil and he staggered
back into the Smoke. The people below
thought he was lost. A policeman
mounted to the shoulders of a brother
officer, and clambering over the window
ledge. caught Mcneil by the foot and
dragged him from the room. Mcneil
was passed down to the ground and
soon recovered consciousness.
The rescue of a woman and her ba-
by aroused the enthusiasm of the
crowd. Mrs. Bruce, with IN arm
around her infant child, was clinging
with the other arm to the ledge of a
second story window. Smoke was
pouring ont in ~smothering clouds and
Mrs Bruce seemed on the point OF fall
ing. Her fingers were relaxing, when
suddenly three policemen carrying
Il blanket rushed into the flames. which
were then darling from the basement
windows. just in time to catch the wo-
mar and her child in safety. Mrs.
Bruce was badly burned. but had sue
cGedcd in protecting her baby, so that
not one hair of its head had been burn
ed.
There were other narrow escapes and
exhibitions Of courage during the burn
ing Of the structure, as there was only
one entrance to the building, which
compelled the greater number OF the
guests to make their exit as best they
could through the windows.
The rescues were nearly all accom-
plished before the firemen arrived. The
blaze spread so rapidly that had the
people in the hotel been compelled to
await the arrival of the hook and lad
der company more lives would have
been lost. The policemen and others on
the ground early. however. were able
to secure ladders from a paint store
near by. and by this means saved many
of the guests. The fire started in the
basement and spread with the greatest
rapidity. But for the heroic action of
Porter Mcneil. every person in the
building would undoubtedly have per-
ished.

Interesting experiments with the
odors of herbs have from time to
time been made. and it has been
found that many species of microbes
are easily destroyed by various
smells. The odor of cloves has been
known to destroy microbes in thirty
dive minutes; cinnamon will kill
some species in t~hirty-ive minutes;
thyme in thirty-fve. In forty-fve
minutes common wild yerbena Is
found effective. while the odor of
mint has destroyed various forms of
microbes in ffty-five minutes, and it
is recorded as the most effective of all
doors as N antiseptic. 1t is now be
lieved that herbs which have been
found in Egyptian mummies were
placed on the bodies more for their
antiseptic properties than as mere or
aaments or objects of sentiment.

MUST PAY THE TAX.


New York, May 16.-The commission
ers of tax and assessment have filed
their return to the writ of certiora-
ri obtained by William Waldorf Aston
for a review of the assessment made by
the commissioners on his personal
property for the year 1899. The assess
ment was fixed at 2 1000, 900 and Mr.
Astor appealed against it on the ground
that he was a nonresident. He has
since become a British subject. The
commissioners say that prior to 1899
Mr.. Aston regularly paid his assess
ments and that although he declared
that he had changed his residence at
the time the 1899 assessment was made
they were unaware whether such
change was temporary or permanent.
He was then an American citizen and
they say they see no reason to review
the assessment.
