FRANTIC WOMEN IN THE GALLERY
Throw Their ChiIiren Over the Railing t.
the Floor Below.

Throw Their ChiI,lren Over the Railing to
the Floor Below.
Around the upper part of the hall
extends balcony which is open only
at one end Here were seated $50 wom-
Ell and children, and the women at the
farther end Of the balcony, away from
the stairway, seeing that the rush to-
ward the exit was blocked to them and
their children, began at once to throw
the little ones over the railing to the
floor ten feet below. The children fell
into the midst Of the maddened throng
and were at once trampled under foot
1t is known that three of the dead
were children who were thrown from
the balcony and were trampled by tho
crowd, with not a chance for thei1
lives. Following the children many OF
the women sprang from the balcony
upon the crowd below and others
swinging over hung by their hands be-
fore they dropped.
On the main floor the crush was
much worse than in the balcony. The
main exits from the hall, and the only
ones known to a ma Ority of those who
frequent the place, are two doors in the
south end of the main auditorium that
open upon winding stairs, which eight
steps down unite into one broader
flight leading to the main door at the
Twelfth street front Around these
two doors a frantic mass of scream
ing men, women and children was
packed, all struggling fercely to force
their way down the stairs. At the
landing where the two flights of stairs
winding down from the main hall unite
a woman stumbled and fell. In an in
slant score Of people were down,
and before the rush was over, four
lives had been crushed out in a space
-four feet wide by six feet long.
Within five minutes after the be-
ginning of the panic it was all over,
and the police and tiremen who came
lhurrying to the scene Of the disaster
We're called upon to do nothing beyond
carrying away the dead and injured
and keeping back the thousands of peo-
pie who tried to force their way into
the building. AS soon as the news Of
the panic had spread throughout the
district which seemed but a very few
minutes-all the Hebrews from that
part of the city rushed to the place
bent upon learning the names of the
dead and wounded. Men and women
fought desperately with the officers in
their efforts to enter the building and
learn if any of their loved ones were
among the dead

He Was Up to The Limit.

A young society woman tells
story of q very little newsboy who so
appreciated her kindness to him at q
newsbOys' dinner that he went to the
extent Of great suffering for her sake.
At least she thinks it was apprecia-
ton; Others have their doubts. At
all events the young woman who,
with number of others, was engaged
in serving the boys, noticed this little
boy way off at end of the table. Many
of his larger fellows were already
hard at work on the various good
things, but this little fellow had evil
IDENTIFY been neglected. Clearly here
was a case of urgent charity, so the
amateur waitress flew to his side, and
for an hour she saw to it that he did
not lack for anything. Plate after
plate of turkey was literally shower
ed upon him. Finally, as she set an
other piece of plum pudding in front
of him, he rolled his eyes meekly to-
ward her and said in muffied tone:

Buyina of Cattle Feeds.

The prices for grain and feeding
stutfs which are now ruling are so
high that il behooves the buy er more
than ever to study the fitness of the
sundry materials offered for cattle
feeding purposes. Meals and feeds of
all sorts are fired, some good and
some bad. their MAJ ket prices often
show no relationship whatever to fit-
ness; hence the need of looking beg ond
the mere matter of cost.
The state feeding stuffs inspection
of the past two ears has served to
point out more clearly to the retail
dealer as we'll as to the customer the
distinction between good and bau
feeds. The Vermont experiment sta
tiOn is now about to issue a bulletin
showing the character of the goods
on alelastspring. The standard by
products were found to run about as
usua.. The guarantees made by the
manufacturers as to their quality
were commonly upheld; but there
were a few cases OF serious adulter
alton, intentional or accidental.
The Mayfower linseed meal contain
ed but little more than bali of the
protein which this class of goods
should contain; few samples of mix
ed wheat feed we're found to be adult
Grated; and there were several Oat
feeds Zone of which was boldly called
"ground oats which were of ex-
tremely low grade. One brand of oat
feed analysed at the station this fall
contained even less protein than does
oat hulIs. 1t would appear that in
this case the great feed adulterant it.
self had been adulterated.
Those interested in this matter are
invited to send to the experiment sta
ton, Burlington, Vt, tor it's stock

mailed free to any address. Their
careful perusal cannot help but aiu
