RECEIVES FATAL INJURIES.
Mrs. Kate Harris Death Results
From Burns.

From Burns.
Mrs. Kate Harris. fifty-four years old.
who lived at 302 Indiana avenue northwest.
died at the Emergency Hospital about 8
oclock last night. Her death was the re-
suit Of burns received about 6 o'clock while
In the kitchen at her home preparing din
ner. She was the wife of Robert c. Har-
ris and had kept lodging house on In
diana avenue for number of years. Be-
tween and o'clock she went into the
kitchen and started to assist in the prepara-
tion of the dinner. After lighting the gaso-
line stove in the kitchen. she threw the
lighted match on the floor and her light
dress came in contact with the blaze. BY
the time Mrs. Harris realized the danger
she was In it was too late for her to save
herself from being severely burned.
Miss Harris, a niece Of the victim, was
in the dining room, and she rendered what
and blanket to extinguish the flames The
screams Of the burned woman attracted
the attention Of a roomer In the house,
who also went to her assistance, first
sounding an alarm of fire, which called out
several companies Of the fire department
and the police reserves.
The police summoned the ambulance and
the burned woman was removed to the In
stitution where she subsequently expired.
She had been severely burned about the
body and the surgeons were satisfied that
they would be unable to save her life.
Coroner hewitt made an investigation OF
the affair and gave a certificate Of acci-
dental death. The body of the unfortu-
nate woman, who was born in Alexandria,
will be inferred at Glenwood cemetery next
Monday afternoon. Her husband and four
grown children survive.

I'm the West End.
Work on the iron fence around the
Western High School is expected to be
commenced next week. The contract was
awarded last May, and in the intervening
time the iron pickets have been made In
the foundry. When brought to the grounds
the fence will be in sections. 1t will be
four feet high and will surround three sides
of the school ground, leaving the western
side clear.
1t is understood that no new deed Is to
be made to the site which Mr.. Christian
Heurich offered to donate to William r.
Singleton Lodge of Masons, recently or
ganzed in Tenley town. AS was published
In The Star several weeks ago, the lodge
rejected a deed which was presented, con-
veying the title of the land, because Of the
restrictions which it contained. 1t was an
ticipated at the time that another deed to
the property would be drawn up and pre-
sented to the lodge for acceptance, but 1t
is stated that there is to be no modifica-
ton OF the original offer. Acting under
this belief the lodge is making preparations
to purchase site for it's building. This
will probably delay the construction of the
lodge room for time
The congregation of the Columbia Bap-
list Church, which recently separated from
the West Washington Baptist Church and
organized a church of it's own, holding

BATHING BEACH BErTERMESrs.
Dressing Rooms Repaired and Room
Now for All Corners.


Now for All Corners.
1t having been reported that a great
many of the dressing houses at the bathing
beach could not be used, and that six boys
or two men are required to take one room
or not go In at all. Star reporter asked
Mr.. w. Y. Stevens of the bathing beach
IL such was true
Yes" said Mr.. Stevens, that was the
condition Of things at one time. Many
locks were torn off or broken daily, and
mad them repaired until it seemed a waste
or time. Then for about three weeks we
made no effort to meet complaints ex-
cept by explaining the cause, but one day
TOOK note of the large number being
turned away, and on investigation l found
ABOUT ninety houses useless out Of our two
hundred Then the committee on the bath
ing beach decided to buy more locks and
repair up as much as possible with our
limited means, and all but a dozen doors
that are irreparable are again ready for
use, so that all who come can now be ac-
commodated.
The appropriation has never been large
enough to keep watchman in each aisle,
ana want to request every patron who
sees any abuse of the premises or hears
anything improper to report 1t to the police
man or watchman Immediately so that Of
lenders may be detected. If the conduct
at the beach cannot be maintained at a
standard high enough to be unobjectionable
to the better class, my object is not being
attained. and I will abandon 1t. 1t is a
great mistake to suppose that the bathing
beach was established as bath tub for
the unwashed. Its object is to familiarize
every boy and girl, man and woman, with
the water. and to teach them to swim, so
that all will know what is dangerous and
what is safe about the water. The wharf
rat and the street gamin can tumble into
the water and frolic as safely as frogs and
mud turtles, but the carefully bred boy is
q &old yaaf <n <1A okavp
and 1t is this class who do not know the
water that keep our rlifeguards busy. Nine
tenths Of the dangers of the world become
higher object than the study Of natures
elements and their uses. Many parents
now come about $50 o'clock and bathe
with their children and enjoy it raptur-
ously. like this. Every one should come
It will do them all good"

Progress Reported.

Satisfactory progress in the early-closing

meeting of the executive committee of the

held last night at Typographical Temple.
Several dealers in gentlemen's furnishing
goods were represented and agreed to
close their stores in accordance with the
schedule Of the association. Several other
firms made counter propositions which will
be considered at meeting of the commit
tee to be held tomorrow morning. pre-
sentation of the position of the clerks will
be made to the Central Labor Union Mon

of age, was found in an unconscious con-

After being taken to the hospital the case
was diagnosed as one of epiliptic attack.
When Murray recovered consciousness he
stated that he left his home at Amber, Pa,
a settlement between Philadelphia and
Norristown, several days ago. Since that
time he has suffered from an entire loss
of memory, and has no knowledge of when
or how he reached this city. He said he
had no business to transact here.
After treatment his memory was re-
stored and he left the hospital to return
