THE BOILER WAS
 NOT INSPECTED
Sensational Evidence in lnveSti- gation of Recent 0isaS-
 ter at Chicago.

Chicago. March 1s.-Sensational testi- mony given today by Gustav Pollack at the inquest over the victims of the Dore- mus laundry boiler explosion controverts Proprietor A. F. Doremus' contention that the boiler was inspected year ago. In the explosion nine persons were killed and fifty-two injured. Pollack was fire man and engineers helper at the Dore- mus laundry for six months prior to De- cember 15 when he was discharged he said. as a matter of economy on Dore- mus part. Pollock, in testifying, sild:
 ''The steam guage of the boiler was set to blow off at ninety pounds pressure, and as we constantly carried between ninety and 100 pounds, it was a common occurrence to have the boiler blow off. Whenever this occurred, the employees would rush out of the rooms nearest the engine room. There was a feeling of in- security in regard to the safety of the boiler.
 At one time the boiler sprung a leak nearly two inches long in the fire plate and when 1t was repaired Engineer Pihl told me that it had leaked in the same place before Pihl told me before I left the laundry that he was dissatisfied with the place and intended seeing another
 Tt was the practice of Pihl to use caustic soda in the boiler to clean the flues and he often told me that 1t was eating away the flues. While I was en- ployed in the laundry there was no cer- tificate of inspection in evidence in the engine room"

In Honor of Mr. Philips.

Mir. Arthur Philips, who comes to sing in the musical solree tomorrow afternoon in the Woman's Club rooms, will reach the city tomorrow morning. and be the guest during the day of MT. and Mrs Charles c. washburn, in West Twentieth street. During his brief stay he will be the recipient of charming social atten- tions from former friends. following the delightful afternoon affair in the club rooms. The ladies of the club have per fected arrangements, which promise to prove a most delightful and charming af- fair. and judging from the interest man. ifested already, the capacity of the club quarters promises to be taxed to its ut most. After the conclusion of the pro- gramme, which includes a long list of dainty classic and modern ballads, tempt ing refreshments will be served. and an opportunity offered to meet the singer, whose personality proved to be quite as fascinating, on his previous visit with the Ensemble Club, as his delightful voice. From Athens. Ala, come reports of his triumph there on last Thursday night, the 14th inst.
 Although he has been in the south but six months. he has enjoyed success un- paralleled by any musician now resident in this section. Such unqualified approval of an artist means much. Students of vo- cal culture will find Mir. Philips recital source of instruction, for he sings with such sincere adherence to correct prin- ciples and method. that 1t Is like a les son to a student to hear him. His pianisstmo and that, too, in voice quite capable of dramatic power, is perfect something that can be said of few sing CTS.
 The ladies of the club are expecting a large audience, and promise treat of the highest order.

Story of a Snowflake.
BL MINNIE LEE WARD.

BL MINNIE LEE " AEtO
 Mother Goose is picking her feathers and lot there are, too, for you can hard ly see a foot before you.
 The feathers are not large but small and white. and as they fall there is soft whispering in the air.
 Mother Goose is a very old lady, who lives up in the clouds and decides whether there shall be a blue sky, gray or black.
 She has three daughters, Rain, Snow and Hail.
 Snow, who is her favorite daughter, Is gentle quiet and very white.
 Hail has a dreadful temper and when she gets mad she strikes everybody with her cold, hard fist.
 Rain, when little, was left to the care of Mr Sun, but MT. Sun made her angry, and she was always crying. She has been crying ever since.
 Mother Goose likes to play with Snow s children.
 Snow called her children Snowfiakes, but Mother Goose called them her ''feath- ers."
 Mother Goose loved her grandchildren, but sometimes she was cross with them. Then the grandchildren would come jumping and falling about her. She would run to the window and shake them off, and then close the window.
 Then the children, always full of fun, would go whispering and frolicking about, trying to get back in the window again. But Mother Goose had the window shut now, and would not let them in.
 Then the Snowflakes would come tum- bling down to the earth, for they could not hold to the side of the house long. |. After two or three days Mother Goose would get all right and went to play with her grandchildren again. So she would send the butler, Sun"

ANOTHER TALE.
Coroner Thinks the Pet Dog Did Not
 Kill Mrs. Cabus.

New York, March 19.-Coronor Bausch, in speaking of the case of Mrs. Caroline B. Cabus, who was reported to have been killed at her home, No. 352 West Eish- teenth street, by her pet terrier, said to- day:
 Prom what have read about the case, knife wounds were found in the throat and it must be, from these, that the case Is either case of murder or suicide"
 Coroner Bausch refused a burial permit
 An autopsy will be held on the body of Mrs Cabus for the purpose of determin- ing whether apoplexy had anything to do with the woman's death.
 A knife was found beside the body. Ow- ing to the fact that the knife was very dull the coroner thinks Mrs. Cabus would hardly be able to inflict on herself so deep wound and one with such clear cut edges.

WHOLESALE DEsERTIoNs.
Number of Men Who Have Left u. S
 Ships Is Now 91.

Norfolk, March 19.-More wholesale assertions from the ships at the navy yard are reported. The men who de- serted from the Topeka have been ap- prehended and will be tried by summary courtmartial Many of the apprentices and seamen abandoned Ahe cruiser Dixie however, have escaped An interesting fact in connection with these assertions is that the men are all of the class of the inland lads and lake sailors. The report that heavy draft of the men from the Dixie was to be sent to the Asiatic squadron is given as the probable cause of the assertions that have taken place of late, it is said the total num- Der of assertions will not exceed eighty one. Of these sixty-one are landsmen under instruction and the rest are sailors of the ships srew. They are all expected to return to the Dixie.

"rhs Sian of the Cross"

Wilson Barrett's historical drama, The Sign of the Cross" will be the attraction at the Jefferson Theatre for two nights. beginning tonight, with matinee Thursday. There seems to be an unexplainable quail ity about this unique play that authors would give much to be able to duplicate the power to attract large audiences quite regardless of the number of years 1t re- turns to the same city. "The Sign of the Cross" is one of the half dozen modern dramas that are quite likely to see the beginning and the end of generation of plays.
 Of the company that William Greet, manager of the Lyric Theatre, London, has sent to this country, 1t is claimed that mluch can be said in it's praise. The excellence of the cast when the piece was first seen in this country has kept up each year. and this season, it Is said, sev- eral of the minor characters are played by actors that are better than any that have before appeared in thir roles. MT. Charles Dalton, the young heroic actor, still heads the organization.

argument for an immediate decision.
Such law would settle the present con-
troversy about the appointment OF dis
trict judges before the disputed time has
elapsed. In speaking OF the law he ad-
vocates. Judge Hazen said:
Colorado and other states have laws
which allow q question of public import
ance when purely legal to be submitted
to the supreme court and that court IS
required to settle the question and de-
eide the law without any formality OF
pleading. 1t is discretionary with the
court whether they desire TO be advised
as to the law and of course II depends
upon the Importance OF the question
about the court taking II up. II il was
easily solved It could be decided at once
and II there was division OF opinion the
court could hear arguments upon the
question. II Kansas had such a law the
question whether old judges should hold
over or the new ones be entitled TO Office
could be submitted at the January ses-
sion OF the supreme court and be decided
before time for the new judges 10 take
their seats II they are entitled 20 them.
In this case the question OF whether the
old judges or the new should take the
seats would be all the question necessary
TO be passed upon by the court"

out Of his songs 4. he had not been Ike

he was compelled to depend upon COM

kept books in Nelson's butcher shop last
spring and frequently talked respondent

edness of the world. He had frequently
complained OF pains in his head and re-
marked that he had lived long enough
and was willing to die any time. He
took morphine to relieve the pains in his
head and recently he has appeared to be
losing his mind.
He was born in Sweden, but has spent
all his days since a young man in Ameri-
