SANITARIUM BURNED.
Dsstruct io 'i OF ST. Lulxes Hospital In Chi
cago Causes the Death OF Nine Pa So
tients and Injury OF Many.

chicago, June 10. Inc men and one
woman We're killed and about 80 per-
sons injured in a FIRE which destroyed
the sanltarinm conducted by ST Luke's
society, at Wabash avenue and Tween
8ty-frst street.
The society occupied the building
known as the Hotel Woodruff. By far
the greater portion of the patients re-
ceived at the institution were those
seeking cure from drink and drug
bits. When the fire broke out there
We're number of patients suffering
from delirium tremens, and some who
were stupefed with drugs. Several Of
these We're strapped to their beds, and
1T was found impossible to save them,
so rapidly did the fire spread through
the building.
,Ihe list LIST as far as known at present,
although it is possible that the list of
dead will be Increased later, is as fol-
lows: s.. J. Newell, G. a. Carlson, Jo-
seph Harrington, Samuel DalzeH, N.
y stanton, George A. Ribbeck, Hills
dale, Mich; William Kent, alderman
OF the he Fourth ward, Chicago; John. B.
and AM Mrs. NJ. Knappman; B. 81. Boyd,
20 years of age, a member Of the medi-
cal stall of the institution.
The ire originated in the basement
of the building and spread rapidly
to the upper stories through the ele-
svator shaft
AS i the e cry of fire rang through the
building the patients sprang from their
beds, and before they could be pre-
vented several had jumped from the
windows WI to the pavement. The fire
department was on the scene in few
minutes and the windows were filed
with people shouting for help. The
hremen devoted their first efforts to
save lives and allowed the fire to burn.
While this was the means of saving
a large number, it gave the fire such a
Roadway that there was almost no
chance for those on the upper floors Of
the building to make their escape, and
such OF them as were not suffocated
were killed or badly injured by leap
ing from the windows.
DR.. Silvers, chief of the medical staff,
was absent when the fire broke out.
He arrived as the fremen began carry
ing out the dead. He was unable to
make any positive identifcations ex-
scept in the case of DR.. ]. T.. Stanton
and S. ]. Newell, so badly were the
bodies burned There were 60 patients
in the institution, Is Of whom were
women 80.

IN THE HOTEL
CORRIDOR
BY MARY WOOD

She sank into the depths Of the vel
vet chair with sigh of satisfaction.
The long hotel corridor was alive with
light and color. Women passed with
soft swish of silk and breath of per-
fume. Masses 6 lilies and cleaning
palms merged with rich, dark hang
1ngs to form fitting background.
This-this was the life for which
she was Observation-Disclosures and beauty
to delight her artists eye, luxury to
satisfy her love Of ease! She had striv-
en- hard to attain it, giving the hours
of daylight to her easel and the lon
ger hours of the night to feyerish plan
ming. And yet she was where she had
started. With scornful smile, she glanc-
ed down at her modest dress. The only
mark which linked her to these sur
roundings was the great bunch of yiolets
rising and falling on her breast. Her
face did not soften as they met her
eye. They We're none of her procur-
ing. He had sent them, and their wear
Ing only seemed one more link in the
chain by which he sought to bind her to
him.
He was late, or she was early
which? Never mind 1t would give
her time to think and to decide.
The soft strains of distant stringed
orchestra Gained her as her mind re-
viewed her five years of city life. The
first year, when labor was sweetened
by girlish enthusiasm; the next, when
hope was wandering and grim necessi-
y spurred her on; the next-but why
live over their pain? It was enough
to say that she had failed. And yet
she had worked. How she had work
ed!
The last four months had told diff
ferent tale-she had tried to drown her
ambitions in the excitement of life in
artistic Bohemia. That. too, failed her.

Yet it had brought him to her, to her
feet. The thought gave her not even
throb Of gratifed vanity. She told
herself she was past even that. Since
love and hope were dead, why not let
this man buy their ashes? He could
at least give her the creature comforts
that she crayed Yes, she would mar
ry him.
She started and looked around fear
for the ears Of greedy listeners. But
the stream of hotel life rolled calmly
on. AS she looked down the corridor
her heart gave a throb. Was that fig
ure a part of her dreams of the past?
It was an old lady in all the glory of
new black silk and shiny gloves. yet
strangely old fashioned and out of
place among the throng. The girl start
ed to her feet. It was Aunt Milly.
She went forward breathlessly, hel
eyes fixed on the dear face, her hands
outstretched almost appealingly.
The old lady saw her now, gazed
wide eyed and in another moment was
kissing her on both cheeks as she MUIR

Tears had come to the girls eyes at
sound Of that childish name. Now she
flushed and paled as she said almost in
a whisper: "John! Does he remember
me?'
The old lady had hold Of her hand as
if fearful of losing it, and Janet led her
gently to the big chair and nestled
down beside her.
Remember you? Haven't we spoken
of you almost every day since you
went away? You stopped writing after
awhile, and that was hare" There
was reproach in her gentle voice.
The girl interrupted brokenly: Yes,

A Curious Structure.

On the road from Clifton downs to
Ayonmouth the traveller will pass, in
the Avon gorge, curious structure to
which singular tradition is attached,
relates the London Taller. The story
is that a person named Cook about a
century ago was told by a gypsy in the.
Leigh woods that his only son would
be killed by serpent before he reached
the age Of tWenty-one. TO avert this he
built a high tower and shut his son in
the topmost room with the intention Of
secluding him there until the fatal age
was passed. However, by accident a
viper was taken up in fagot to the
room to light the fire, and it crept from
the fagot and bit the boy so that he.
died. Therefore the tower was called
Cooks folly, and that is its name to
this day, whatever is the true explana-
ton

The fire started in the Arcade build
ing, on Broadway, and destroye that
building together with the Shackle-
ford and the Theater Saratoga, located
in the Citizens national bank build
ing. That portion of the latter build
ing occupied by the bank was damaged
only by water. The contents Of the
safes and deposit vaults remain intact.
Fortunately there was no wind.
Otherwise the fire. which was in the
heart Of the city ard not far from sew
eraI of the largest hotels, might have
developed into general confa grafton.
By hard work the fremen succeeded in
checking the flames and at 5:25 a. N.
the fire was pronounced to be under
control.
Chief Shadwick was injured in res
cuing Mrs. Hart from one Of the burn
ing buildings.
The missing persons were tenants Of

LEADER OF SCIENCE.
Lord Kelvin and Some of His Great
est Accomplishments.
He Comes from . Family Of Mathe-
mattcians and Scholars - His
Work in Connection with
the Atlantic Gable,

Lord Kelvin, who is considered the
most distinguished leader in what has
been prominently century of scien-
tific discovery and advancement, has
been visiting the United States as the
guest of George Westinghouse, of cleo
trical fame.
Lord Kelvin, or as he is often termed
the Grand Old Man of Science" was
born in Ireland in 1924. Shortly after
his birth his family removed to Scot
land, and his father, Prof. James
Thomson, is remembered by the
alumni of GLASGOW university as a
skilled teacher of mathematics. Will
liam Thomson was eight years of age
when his father was appointed to a
professorship in the university, and
two or three years later he began to at
tend classes himself. His proficiency
in mathematics and natural philoso-
ply was early noticeable, but under
the careful supervision of his father,
who valued, too, the ''Old Humanities, I"
he bad the benefit in addition of sound
lo,aval and linguistic training. While
a boy he was interested in such sub
iects as the "Figure of the Earth" and
"Fourier's Theory of the Flow of Heat"
While student at Cambridge, Lord
Kelvin was noted for his enthusiastic
participation in all college sports. He
was fellow at st. Peters, OXfo ford, and
afterward entered the laboratory Of
the famous Regnault in Paris.
In 1S46 Lord Kelvin was called o the
chair of natural philosophy, and from
that day to this the, history of his life
work has been the history of the prog
ress of physical science. There is no
department of that science which has
not been enriched and extended by his
discoveries and there is hardly any
theory in dynamics, heat or electricity
of which his theorems, experimental

MASTER OF CEREMONIES.
Time In ut Hand when such an ON
cial In Absolutely Needed at the
White House.

The necessity for an official master
of ceremonies" to be connected with
the state department., and whose serv-
ices would be at the command of the
chief executive, is becoming more and
more apparent, says the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat. Every foreign Wis
itor's reception, every state dinner,
every public exercise participated in by
the president, and the congress en-
phasizes this necessity. The necessity
is apparent at the big state funerals
held at the national capital. The
United States supreme court is jealous
of it's dignity and rank. The diplomatic
corps is even more so. Individual mem
bers of the corps insist that the
prerogatives of precedence be OBJ
served to the letter. The supreme
court insists that, as one of the highest
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1902-07-17

discoveries and views do not form
fundamental part. In the domain of
physical optics, Lord Kelvin has recent
ly shed much light on disputed ques-
tons by his lectures and papers.
It was, however, Lord Kelvin's work
then Prof. Thomson-in connection
with the Atlantic cable which brought
him international fame. Wheniin 1856
Cyrus Field began to realize his gi-
gantic dream of uniting England and
America by submarine cable, a diff
Guilty arose, which threatened to defeat
the project. 1t was found that cleo
trio signals passing through the cable
did not attain the speed hoped for, and
the financial success of the scheme, in
consequence, was questioned. Many
theories were advanced by scientists
as solution for the problem, but it
remained for Prof Thomson to enun-
ciate the law of retardation, and so
enable engineers to design a cable
which would give satisfactory speed
to messages. The directors of the At
lantic Telegraph company speedily rec
ognized his ability and engaged his
services. It is no eXaggeration to say
that he contributed more than any
other scientific man to the ultimate
success of that enterprise which was
so repeatedly baffled and postponed.
On returning to the old world Prof.
Thomson was knighted for his distin-
guished service and became Lord Kel-
vim. .""-
It is unquestioned that he has done
much for electrical science by intro
ducing accurate methods of measure
ment. His most useful inventions in
this line are two valuable electro-me-
tiers, and perfected type Of his ORR
ginal invention, the mirror instru-
ment," which has become the main
stay Of the electrician. A machine for
predicting the level of the tides in any
part Of the world is probably his chief
non-electrical invention.
Lord Kelvin has carried on large
number of experimental and mathe-
NAUTICAL researches in every depart
ment Of natural philosophy, but the
true citadel of his genius lies in his
faculty of of applying mathemat tics to
the solution of physical problems.
Lord Kelvin was endowed with every
requisite for success-power of will,
intellect and energy-and is in reality
one Of the worlds great men. As the
Napoleon of natural philosophy, his
name will go down to posterity with
Calico, Newon and Pascal.

SOME BABY ARMIES.
Diminutive Forces Maintained IN
Various Parts Of the Globe.
They Make Up In ArdOr What They
Lack In Numbers and Are Ready
to Defy the World, i'm
s S Words at Least.

In the heart of the Pyrenees theresa
microscopic state known as the An
dora republic, which maintains its in
dependence among the formidable
giants of Europe who surround it on
all sides. It's nominal suzerain is
bishop, and it has an army of 600 stall
wart mountaineers, ready at any mo-
ment to die for their national dig
nifty and independence. There is some
thing quite pathetic in the spectacle OF
the handful of armed men drilling and
strutting in their mountain Businesses,
while on one side is Spain, which can
produce 1000 soldiers against one of the
republic, and on the other side the
army of France, which outnumbers
them by nearly 5000 to one.
A still more diminutive army is that
which nominally protects the domin-
ion of the prince of Monaco. AS the
principality is little more than a dozen
times the size of Hyde park, London,
1t is not surprising that the soldiers
who guard it only number 1875. or that
their duties are chiefly confined to

form and having a good time in gen
orally.
Another army whose Importance is
| by no means to be gagged by mere
| numbers is that of Luxembourg, which,
when svery available man is sum
| moned 20 arms, numbers a round SOC
warriors, all in gorgeous uniforms
and full of military zeal. There are, in
| fact, no keener soldiers anywhere
| than these few hundreds of Luxem-
burgers, who are responsible for the
safety of population roughly equal
| to that of Leicester, and there is not
man among them who is not per,
feet in drill and soldierly accomplish
ments.
There is no more interesting state
in Europe than San Marino, which

coordinate branches of the govern
ment, it's members should rank with
the members of the diplomatic corps.
Members of the corps believe, because
they are the personal representatives
of their sovereigns or governments,
they should rank next to the president
of the United States. Embarrassmcnts
multiply at every state function. II
state dinner is to be given at the white
house half dozen officials of the state
department must give hours OF study
to the relative rank Of the guestn to
be invited and determine in what or
der they shall be seated. 1t is even
necessary to trace the lineage OF some
of these diplomats of apparently equal
rank back for two generations to dis
cover which should rank the other.
Mai. Pruden, who died a; few weeks
ago and who was one of the assistant
secretaries to the president, made a
speciality of such things, but with his
death his accumulated knowledge and
experience was lost. At the funeral OF
Admiral Sampson the differences be-
tween the United States supreme court
and the diplomatic corps were so grave
that it became necessary to seat them
respectively in seats exactly the same
distance from the front and on OPP
posite sides Of the central aisle OF the
church where the ceremonies were
held. This seemed to solve the prob
lem until they each commended that
they should be seated on the side OF
the aisle where the president and his
cabinet were seated. A compromise had
to be effected. The democratic tenden-
cy of the people in this country oppose
them to master of ceremonies. The
republic of France has such function
airy, and the republic of the United
States may have to come to it some
day.

MGR. JOHN N. FARLEY.
Protestant Clergyman Thinks Pres.
ent Coadjutor Should BE Made
Archbiahop Of New York.

Those who know the history and
general lines of the work of Mgr. ohm
MARLEY feel an especial qualification
that he has been so constantly men
toned as the probable successor to
Archbishop Corrigan in the diocese Of
New York.
Mgr. Farley, writes a Protestant
clergyman in the New York Herald, is
not an American by birth, but almost
wholly an American by education, and
as private secretary for long period
to Cardinal McCloskey, created mon
seigneur in 1883 by Leo XIII. in view
of his faithful services; for many years
pastor of St. Gabriel's, administering
that great ecclesiastical plant with its
multitude of parishioners and host Of
school children with singular wisdom

against the demand for $4,000 made
by the United States against the repub-
lie of Salvador because an American
company was ousted from big con-
cession that it had obtained down
there.
Those who have made the acquaint-
ance of Sir Henry Strong have said OF
him that he is wonderful example OF
the vast amount of learning that one
may acquire by constant study and In
vestigation. Sir Henry talks like an
authority on almost any subject that
may be brought up. In the extentan
variety of his general information he
much resembles Senator John I. Nor
gan, of Alabama.
The lord chief justice Of Canada re-
marked the other day to a Brooklyn
Eagle correspondent that in his opin-
ion the two great blunders of the pres
emit age were the acquisition of the
Philippine islands by the United
States and the war with the Beers con-
tracted by the British.
