FIRENEN ~ Az EXPLOSION.
Blk OF Them Knocked Down a stairway
Al West Tenth street Fire.

Lieut.. Walsh and five men of EnRine
" had an unpleasant Christmas Day
experience early yesterday morning
while fighting fire in the upper part Of
the six-story factory building at IS East
Tenth street, They were ordered to take a
line OF hose up to the top floor and had
just reached the top Of the stairway whom
an explosion occurred
The six men were hurled down the stair
way to the floor below. None OF thsm
was burned but they were all more or less
stunned. When they recovered they found
that the hose, which had been torn out OF
their hands, was in danger of being ruined
by the fire. They crawled once more I'D
the stairs and succeeded after some very
hard work in pulling back the hose
Acting Chief Purroy, who was in COM
mand, thought that either the gathering OF
infammable gases from the heated wood
work IN the rooms on the top floor or gas
from the melted pipes might have caused
the explosion. similar explosion took
place on the fifth floor Just as the first fire.
men reached the building
The fire caused a scare in the Hotel g.
Denis, at Broadway and Eleventh street
the rear OF which was separated from the
burning building by only twenty five feet
All the guests in the hotel were aroused.
by order Of Manager Taylor, and advised
to get ready To leave the building on a
moments notice. The wind was blowing
toward the south. however and the hotel
was at no time in serious danger
The fifth and sixth floors, which were COM
pleteiy destroyed by the fire. were occupied
by A. Rosen, maker Of ladies' cloaks His
loss was estimated AZ $50. 900

oopal Church at Concord. Staten Island
When the morning service was over the
rector. the Rev. William q. Thompson,
wished each OF the choir a merry Christ
mas and informed them that their services
were no longer required.
The relations between the pastor and
the choir appear to have been perfectly
harmonious until Christmas eve. Cruik-
shank's Mass in fiat was to be sung and
a special rehearsal was called. The min
ister directed that there be interpolated
the hymni Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne
The choir refused saying that to sing it
without proper preparation would be to
sing II as Salvation Army hymns are
sung. The minister was obdurate, and
80 was the choir.
Yesterday morning the service went
smoothly until the rector announced the
hymn. All except A. ". Hall were silent
He sang il as a solo.
At the close Of the service the choir and
the minister filed into the vestry. The
choir expected severe rebuke. but Mr.

Years Ago. Thought TO he In chicago.
Mrs. Herman Neukrantz Of lo2 West
10th street. told remarkable story last
night Of how she had found her brother
in-law after he had been missing for twent y
years. She said her brother-in-law. Philip
Hattmanberger disappeared from his
home in a Bavarian town more than twenty
years ago. leaving his wife with the promise
that he would return after he had made his
fortune in America. Two months after
his departure. according to Mrs. Neu-

this daughter, Mrs. Neukrantz says, is
living In New York as servant in a down.

Mrs. Hattmanberger never heard from
her husband after he started for America. .
said Mrs. Neukrantz -She tried to get

daughter come to Chicago and reside with
him. His daughter has written another
letter to him and il now awaiting reply.

CHINESE IDEA OF HUMOR.
Wah Sing, the SONG Writer. whose Produc.
tiOns Beat the Devil.

Wah Sing. who is known as the Chinese
song writer. is one Of the most interesting
characters in town, Sing has appeared
frequently at the Chinese theatre in Doyers
street, where he sings his own compositions,
much TO the amusement Of his countrymen
He came to America twenty years ago. but
persists in telling stories to the effect that
he came in rs contraband goods. He has
several funny stories about the Chinese
Exclusion law and in each story Govern
ment officials are made the butt,
Wah is never missing from social func-
ton in Chinatown. II he sings a senti-
mental song and is asked by an American
to explain something about the melody
he answers
ME no singee; me ely like baby; olive
INIT lation car runnee over chickens neck.
In all Of Wah's humorous stories he has
a devil who always gets the worst Of it.
The Cinnamon who happen to figure in these
stories are all heroes. and play all sorts OF
pranks at the devils expense Even in
the songs which Wah has composed he
has made the devil the scapegoat.
For instance, the story in one of the songs
tells of Chinaman who is chased by the
devil and throws away an armful of litera-
ture. While the devil is busy picking this
up the Chnaman succeeds in reaching
his home and gets a crowd Of his friends
to assist him in fighting he devil. As soon
as the devil appears at the front door the
Chinese hero escapes by the back door.
But the devil keeps on his track and chases
him into the street BY an arrangement
made previously with his Chinese friends
the hero has boat waiting at the foot of a
pier. He runs to the pier and leaps into the
boat. The devil. close at his heels, runs
plump into the river.
When the devil falls into the water the
fire from his arms and body causes a siz.
zling and he steam makes such fog that the
