FIRE AT A SANITARIUm.
Ten Persons Burned to Death and
Thirty Injured in CHICAGO,

Chicago, ILL.,. June l0.-Nine men and
one woman We're killed and about thir-
~ persons injured in fire which yes
terday afternoon destroyed the sani-
'arium conducted by the st. Luke's
Society at Wabash avenue and Twen-
ty-tirst street.
o. +. Miller. formerly of Denver.
WAS president of the institution. and
with many of his employees is under
arrest on suspicion of criminal care
leSsnesS.
The society occupied the building
which was long known as the Hotel
Woodruff. and for brief period as
the Hotel Lancaster. The greater por-
tion of the patients received in the in
sritution We're those seeking cure from
the drink habit. and those who were
addicted TO the use of drugs.
When the fire broke out there We're
on the fifth floor a number of patients
suffering from delirium tremens. and
some who We're deranged by drugs.
Some of these Were strapped TO their
beds, and it was found impossible to
save them. so rapidly did the fire
spread through the building
The fire originated in the basement
of the building and spread rapidly 10
the upper stories through the elevator
shaft. Before the occupants of the
building could be warned the flames
had been carried to the roof. had eaten
through it. and We're leaping high in
the air
AS the cry of fire rang through the
building patients sprang from their
beds, and before they could be pre-
vented several had jumped from the
windows to the pavement. The fire
department was on the scene in a ft*-
minutes. and as the windows Were
filled with people shrieking for help.
the tiremen devoted their first efforts
to saving lives. and allowed the fire to
burn. While this WIS the means of
saving a large number of people who
We're carried down ladders by the fire
men, it gave the fire, such headway
that there was almost no chance for
those on the upper floors of the build
ing TO make their escape. and such of
them as We're not suffocated We're
killed or badly injured by leaping
from the windows.
After the fire was over the police ar
rested William Lanahan. the engineer:
Lee st. iilour, tile Hrellan Oh tne Dullu-
ing. and J. Z. Nagel. the inventor of a
gasoline plant in use in the basement
of the institution. There are no direct
charges against the men. but the po-
lice have the idea that the fire may
have originated from mismanagement
of the gasoline plant.
Late last night the police placed un-
der arrest. in addition TO the men
taken into custody directly after the
fire. o. +. Miller. president of the in
stitution, and William Sterner. engi-
neer of the building. who went off
duty at noon.

THE FEROCIOUS MORoS. y
Inspired by Superstitious ReI'of
the Philippine Savages Become
Utterly Fearless

For ordinary occasions the Moro
will carry dagger or two in his
belt, while, if he be of sufficient rank,
especially when visiting an American
officer, his arms bearer, usually some
favorite youth, will carry his larger
weapon, a modern umbrella for the
sun, and an extra supply of lime and
betel nut, says Leslie's Weekly. The
racial completely of Moro origin dis
covers itself in the patterns from his
looms, the fashion of his garments,
and, to certain extent. in the carved
ivory and silverwOrk of his weapons
handles. The face characteristics are
perhaps mainly Malay, but in some
cases there is an undoubted infusion
of Hindu blood, while often there are
traces of Arab, and sometimes, though
less often, of Chinese. The patterns
on Moro tapestries belong to the art
workers of Hindustan. So does the
rather light tapering pantaloon and
the fashion of wearing silver beaten
betel nut box at the girdle The
Moro turban, however, conforming to
the Mohammedan custom, is vet en-
tirely distinct from the large, care
fully wound puggzee of India. 1t is
rather jaunty cap, made by the
clever twisting of a gay colored cloth
square, measuring not more than a
yard.
Considered as a fighting race, the
Moros are accredited with great fe-
70 rio I,
relish of death, on the battlefield, be-
gotten of the belief that such
death is a certain passport to that pc
culiar Heaven which is the true be-
levers final home.

A LONG TRIP FOR TWO CENTS.
A Circuit of over $4,000 Miles Over
Which n Letter May Travel
Under Our Flag,

''Now that the Danish West Indies
will become an insular possession of
the United States upon the completion
of the diplomatic negotiations fer
their acquisition, and the eastern shore
line of this country practically extend
ed over 1,400 miles into the broad ex-
panse of the tempestuous Atlantic, it
will prove of interest to show the pos
tai possibilities of this country as to
the carriage of letter weighing an
ounce for two cents" said gentleman
familiar with postal affairs, according
to the Washington Star.
Il venture to say that even an Off
hand statement of these remarkable
possibilities cannot be readily given.
Having occasion to go into this ques-
ton recently, made a new calculation,
which is approximately correct. 1t is
based upon the Island of St. Thomas, in
the Danish West Indies, as an eastern
starting point. Upon the completion
OF the negotiations American post Of
fees will be established in the islands.
We will proceed to the recently estab-
lished post office at Point Barraw,
Alaska, well within the arctic circle,
on parallel far above the northern
most shores of Iceland, and not so very
lar distant from the north pole itself.
Thence we will make an aerial Jour-
ney to the tropics of the South seas,
at Manila, and then home again to St.
Thomas,
From hnr - W. - =,
LAPS miles; to San Francisco, 1918
miles; from San Francisco to I'm
alaska, 2,035 miles; from Unalaska to
Nome, about 1000 miles, and thence
to Point Barrow, overland, 42O miles,
or total of S,2sS miles from our most
eastern Atlantic post office to our
northernmost post office amid Arctic
ice. The revenue cutter which will
visit Point Barrow this summer, when
the ice is out of the Arctic sea suffi-
GENTLY, and which will carry the sup
Plies for the new office, will go around
the western shores of Alaska, through
Behring strait, and the total distance
will be somewhat increased. Actual
distances in this remote region cannot
be stated with positiveness, but these
figures are not far out of the way and
are based upon official data.
Returning southwark, overland
part of the way, it is approximately
1900 miles from Point Barrow to
Unalaska; thence, it is 2,O16 miles to
Honolulu; from this isle in the sea it is
1887 miles to Guam, and from that is
land 1.506 miles to Manila, or a total
of S,459 miles from our arctic post Of
fice at Point Barrow to our Southern
Pacific post office of Importance.
And now for the homeward leap. 1t
is 7,941 miles from Manila to San Fran
cisco, via Guam and Honolulu. and LAB
miles from the Golden Gate City to St.
Thomas, and the complete circuit, as
here outlined, approximately 29,431
miles. which a letter might travel, I'M

A DEEP SUBJECT.
ciaI Manner and 1t Was
Speedily Dropped.

George, dear, why is it that the
scientific persons don't try to investi-
gate the inside of the earth?"
81 suppose they consider it beneath
them, my love-" replied George, ac-
cording to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
There, George, you are trying to joke
again. I'm serious about this-real Sc
rious. 1t seems to me that it would
be doing the world a great service if
somebody could find out just what it
is stuffed with"
"That is the woman of it, dear. You
want to get at the cotton batting and
sawdust. Yes, you do. You are con-
sumed by ruthless curiosity. You
want to find the funny business that
makes the doll say papa and mamma
It's the destructive instinct that all
women possess"
'Why, George, you're horrid"
sob, know your sex. We've had
several women in our family. knew
all about you when l married you. But
suppose you could get your destructive
little scissors into the inside of the
globe. Would it do you any good to
find out that the cotton batting was
gun cotton, and the sawdust giant
POWDER"
George, you are mean thing. I
don't care the littlest bit what's in
side the old earth. Only it does seem
as if we ought to know. Perhaps we
could guard against things better if
we knew what to expect"
pooh, pooh, my dear. The chances
are if you knew what to expect, you
wouldn't sleep a wink afterwards.
Your head would be filled with the
wildestapprehension. Your ears would
be strained to catch the hollow crash
that foretold the end of everything.
You'd walk pussy footed for fear of
breaking through the crust. You'd
have a sulphur respirator, and a lava
cellar, and a steel umbrella that would
shed cinders. Oh, you'd enjoy your in
side knowledge, l don't think"
George, I'm not going to suggest
anything serious again. You make
light of everything. All had in mind
was a hole bored down into the earth
far enough to enable US to know what's
going on down there"
"And I suppose when you found out
you'd pull the hole up and fold it away
for future use?"
George, I'm not going to say an
other word to YOU"
