THEIR CLOSE CALL
Inmates of Burning Building
Are Forced to Jump
for Life.

Chicago, Jan. 30-Fire this evening
destroyed the building at the intersec-
tion of Milwaukee and Ashland ave-
nues, occupied by the Continental
Clothing store.
Great excitement followed the dis
covery of the fire and a panic seized
the employees when it was found i'm
possible to reach the street by the
stairs. Windows were hurriedly
opened or smashed and men and boys
leaped to awnings which served as life
lets and half a dozen employees leaped
safely into them and then dropped to
the sidewalk uninjured.
The Continental Clothing store was
owned by J. N. Nusbaum. He valued
his stock at $50, 900 and carried insur-
ance of 80 per cent of that amount.
The loss is practically total.
The building was valued at $50, O0C
and the loss is estimated at $25, 900,
with full insurance.
The fire caught from a stove, it il
believed, in the basement.

DID IT QUIETLY.

London, Jan. 3O-In view of the
gneral mourning the legitimatist and
Jacobite leaders have contented them
slves today with concentrating the
two hundred and fifty-second ami
versary of the execution of King
Charles 1 by special church services
and omitted the usual decoration OF
the statue of the martyr. Many
wreaths were sent for this purpose,
but with the exception of one wreath
placed on the statue surreptiously dur
ing the night none was used.

INVOKING The LAW
Alexander's Father Will Sue
City and Comfy of
Leavenworth.

Kansas City, Jan. 30-The parents
of Fred Alexander, the negro who was
burned at the stake by a Leavenworth
mob, January Is, we're in Kansas City
today seeking advice about suing the
city and county of Leavenworth for
damages and support.
The father of the dead negro is a
Baptist minister. He said he had
written to a number of influential
friends in Kansas and Missouri in an
endeavor to raise money to prosecute
the case. He had as yet received no
positive promise of financial aid, but
he was confident, he said, that an ap-
peal to the colored people Of the
United States would bring forth a pop
ular subscription large enough to carry
the case to the highest courts in the
country.

KING PROVES MATCH FOR
LANDS.
OF ROBERTS CRUSADE
Hoosier's Amendment to Agricul-
tural Bill Brings Prompt Re-
Spouse from Mormon.

Washington. Jan. 3O-The anti
polygamy crusade which resulted in
driving Roberts out of the house of
representatives from his seat at the
last session had N echo in the house
today during the consideration of the
agricultural appropriation bill.
When the section making the ap-
preparation for agricultural colleges
of the several states was reached, Mr..
Lands of Indiana offered an amend
ment providing that no money should
BIZ paid to the college in Utah until
the secretary Of agriculture was salts
fed that no trustee Or teacher III the
institution practiced polygamy.
The amendment came as a complete
surprise.
Mr.. King, who succeeded Mr.. Rob-
erts, tried in vain to head it off with a
point of order and then inveighed
against it as simply al aftermath of
the Roberts crusade. He insisted that
polygamy was a thing of the past.
Mr.. Lands replied by alleging that
two Of the professors of the Utah ag-
~ricultural college were ~polygamists
and that one of the trustees had seven
wives and 81 children.
Upon this showing the house adopt
ed the amendment, wherepon Mr..
King retaliated by Offering an amend
ment providing that non Of the
money should go to agricultural col
leges in all state whose instructors or
trustees have engaged in lynching OF
been guilty of adultery or ~fornication.
He afterwards modified it SO as to ap-
ply fonly to the agricultural college
Of Indiana.
1t was, of course, overwhelmingly
defeated.
Subsequently when the bill was re
ported to the house the Lands
amendment was stricken out by a vote
of So to 10.
The friends of the farmer were
very much in evidence during the day
and against an aggressive opposition
led by Mr.. Mahon of Pennsylvania
, voted into the bill an additional ap
preparation of $4,000 for farmers
) "bulietins.'
, There was also considerable discus
sion of the irrigation Of the arid land
in connection with the paragraph pro
viding for an investigation Of tina
subject. The bill was PASSED.

NO STATE CHURCH
Dominion Government Gives Reason
for Withdrawing Sanction to
Memorial Service.

Ottawa, Jan. 30-A great sensation
has been created here by the an
nouncement that the government has
withdrawn its sanction to the state
memorial service which was to have
been held on Saturday next in Christ
church cathedral for which elaborate
arrangements were being made. The
reasons given for the governments
action are that there is no state
church in Canada and holding a state
service in Christ church cathedral
might be regarded as a recognition of
the church of England as the state
church of the dominion and conse
quently would give great offense to
other denominations throughout, the
dominion.
A funeral service will be held
Saturday, but it will not be a state
affair.

Valuable Collection Of Animals Burn at
Baltimore.
Baltimore, Jan. 3O-With pitiful
screams Of fright and groans Of intense
pain 10 or more animals of all desorip.
tions confined in cages at Frank G..
Bostick's Zoo" which was in winter
quarters in the old cyclorama building
in this city, were roasted OF burned to
death tonight. The fire, which prob
ably originated from a badly insulated
electric light wire on the outside Of
the building, caused a co~nf1agration,
which once started, in al incredibly
short time enveloped the entire struc-
ture.
The flames spread SO rapidly that it
was impossible for the attendants to
rescue the helpless animals and with
the exception of one elephant, n
camel, two donkeys and a pack of
hounds, the entire herd was lost.
Bostick estimates his loss on ami
mails at about $500, 600. The II
of the building could not be found to-
night, but it could probably be dupll-
Gated for $15, 900 or $40, 600.

LONDON REALIZING FULL POR-
TENT OF FUNERAL.
LOSS AND INCONVENIENCE
All Business Will Be Absolutely
Suspended from Friday
Till Monday.

London, Jan. 30-The procession III
London, as indicated by war office
orders issued this evening, will be a
gorgeous military pageant.
Detachments of 40 regiments with
an almost equal number Of distinctive
uniforms, embracing all arms OF the
service, will make a constantly chang
ing picture. The uniforms OF all the
great armies of the world will appear,
as in addition to the encourages OF
the visiting kings and princes, there
will be military attaches OF the an
bassies aud legations.
Members of the procession not able
to endure the fatigue will ride with
the staff. The naval corps will also
take part in the procession.
The war office also directs that
B%eethoven's and Chopin's funeral
marches only shall be played. From
the time the coffin reaches London to
it's departure guns will boom slowly
in Hyde Park.
Londoners are just awakening to the
full proportion Of the obsequies and
the result of the days of mourning,
which to the numerous tradesmen u
others means absolute closure and is
causing CONSERVATION.
Suddenly to stop every industry IN
the United Kingdom and to turn the
masses into the streets, with millions
hoping to concentrate along the two
miles of the route Of the procession IS
an undertaking which has begun to be
fully appreciated by the police. The
public of London lis dismayed to find

MODELLED FRIGATE OF BONE.
Sailor In Debtors Prison Reproduced
Old Essex After Twenty
Years Work.

Unique among the countless boat
models is that of the United States
frigate Essex, now at the United States
naval home. 1t is constructed entire
ly of bones, excepting the hulk, and
represents 20 years work of a sailor
convict in the old Walnut street debt
ors' prison.
The name of the constructor is not
known, but it has an interesting his.
tory. A sailor who had proved him
self valiant in many naval battles was
reduced to penury. Unable to pay his
debts he was thrown into prison.
Though incarcerated in body, his
spirit longed for the freedom of the
sea again. Then he conceived the idea
of constructing model of the old
frigate on which he had served with
so much distinction and which was
associated with his dearest memories.
No materials were at hand to make
the model except the bones which he
might save from his meat and soup,
says the Philadelphia Press. With
painstaking care fashioned in the
model every detail of the boat he knew
so well. Masts, crosstrees, yards,
gaffs and lift blocks, all had to be
whitfield, carved and polished to their
proportionate size and arranged in
true shipshape. Even the chain plates,
pulleys, dead eyes and minutest parts
of the boats paraphernalia were
made by him out of common beef or
fish bones. The hatchways and steer
ing gear were also constructed with
great ingenuity.
The vessel has two gun decks. Each
of her broadside batteries has 80 guns,
making a total of Ga. These are mod
els of the Dahlgren guns, which were
nine-inch and smooth bores.
Models of two dispatch boats wer1
also made by the old sailor and these
have always accompanied the frigate.
When the naval veteran died the boat
model was bought at auction by Samp-
son Perot, who lived at 50 South Sew
| enth street. Perot died December 90,
$40, and his effects were sold. Wash
ington Keith purchased the boat In
1915 Robert Adams heard its history
and with much persuasion and money
obtained possession of it, In 1S43 he
presented it to the naval home, where
it has since remained. 1t is preserved
in glass case in the chapel and is
guarded with jealous care by the old
sailors. The bone model of the Essex
will probably never be duplicated and
its historic associations make it many
times more valuable than it's intrinsic
value.

ITO certain sort of mind a saint
| is only to be known as saint
by the halo above his brow, and the
Prince of Darkness himself would be
devoid of identity without pitchfork
and a cloven hoof. To such as these
the knight-errantry of Drayton and
Bartlett may seem problematical; but
knight-errant is one who succors
beauty in distress, and who rides
abroad redressing human wrongs.
Whether he employs an obnoxious in
sect rather than sword, as Dray-
ton did, or whether he rides an S. c.
government mule, as Bartlett was
wont to do, is neither here nor there.
Bartlett was riding the aforesaid
mule shortly after the time my story
begins. He rode it up the line, its
long gray ears waggling evenly and
restfully, and came to halt in front
of the set of quarters where Drayton
and he roomed. Drayton was sitting
on the porch, his feet on the railing,
his chair tipped back, and the visor of
his cap pulled down on his nose. He
pushed the cap to the back of his
head as Bartlett came slowly up the
steps.
81 wish you would get a horse" he
complained eff you could just real
ize the figure you cut on that old ele-
phant!"
"That's mule" corrected Bartlett,
his arm around pillar and letting
his heels dangle, as he perched on the
railing. cts also very nice mule
1t is no longer shave-tail, but has
reached years of discretion. The mo-
preciative country straightway has
him inspected and condemned. Horses
may do for some, but not for one who
has the duties of post quartermaster
to perform. And, besides, I believe
in the infantry and scorn horse"
"The scorn," observed Drayton, "oi
the fox for the grapes"
"Don't rub it in said Bartlett, de.
jectedly; 'T'm miserable enough as il
is"
Thought you looked rather triste
I'm all symlashy. Go on"
Bartlett released his hold upon the
pillar and folded his arm on his
breast in an attitude combining stern
endurance and precarious balance
