ROOF

EXTENT OF ABOUT FIVE
HUNDRED DOLLARS.
Woodwork Of cupola Of Building ign't-

insured for Large Amount.

Fire at 1875 this afternoon in the
roof Of the rolling mills did damage not
to exceed $500, which Is fully covered
by insurance, and the delay to the mill
will be for but a short while. The or
igin of the fire had not been determined
at 4 O'Clock, at which time the fire
company had all the fire out.
The root Of the building is Of slate,
and IL surmounted by a wooden cupola.
built for ventilation. This cupola ex-
tends the whole length Of the ridge Of
the roof, and about one-half Of 1t was
destroyed. A large hole around n
OF the furnaces In the south end OF the
building was burned in the roof, but 1t
is believed not a great deal Of damage
has been done to the timbers compos-
ing the trusses supporting the roof.
The building is owned by the I'm
ion Pacific Railroad company and Is
leased to the Laramie plant Of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company. 1t
is stated that about 10000 Of insur-
ance on the building Is held by CON-
panies represented by different local
agents.
Mr.. Colt, head ~bookkeeper in the
once of the rolling mill, told a Repub-
lican reporter that he believed the fire
would LUZ not a great amount Of loss
and only a short shutdown. He could
not tell at that time just how much
damage had been done. but nothing on
the inside Of the building had been in
jured. The floors are flooded with
water and covered with charred tim
bers from the roof. but the machinery.

The IRE attracted a large crowd.
There was some delay in getting q
team to take the IRE engine to the

BATHS FOR THE POOR.
Extension of n system Proved beneficial
In Philadelphia

Extension of n system Proved beneficial
In PhiIadelphia.
So successful has been the work OF
the public baths association of Phila-
delphia. whose initial establishment
is on Gaskill street between Fourth and
Fifth streets, that it will in a few
months be in possession of a new and
in some respects much better building,
dedicated to the same beneficial pur-
poses. A Tote 24x57 feet at rs Wood
street has been purchased by the az
ISOLATION for S2,275 and probably in
March the work of construction Will
be begun. 1t is hoped that it will be
competed by the middle of June.
The public bath and wash house in
Gaskill street was opened nearly four
years ago. At the end Of its third wear
l05.2 PAS baths had been taken there.
This year the number of baths will be
fully 80. 1000, or more than 1000 a week.
In December $500 baths were taken,
l,475 in the first fifteen days.
The Public Baths association does
not consider its work Il charity in the
almsgiving ense. 1t believes baths
can be had by the poor at a
price; that they ere more appreciated
and therefore are more regularly taken
and do more good than those which
cost nothing to the person benefited.
Besides. the public t.ths offer what
the city free baths do not-privacy
and the use Of hot water and of show
ers. together with an ample supply OF
soap and towels. 1t has cost about
s. 900 a year to maintain the Gaskill
street bathing establishment, says the
Philadelphia Times, and the deficit at
the end of 1900 was 81 per cent. having
steadily decreased since the place was
opened.

THAT BIG ORCHESTRA.
1t Will Play at Auditorium To-
morrow Evening.

Nearing the close of its tour of 5000
miles, the Chicago Symphony orchestra
of fifty players and four soloists will
reach Topeka tomorrow afternoon for
its concert tomorrow evening in the
Auditorium. The prospects are bright
for a fine audience for the first SYM
phony orchestra concert the city has
had. The prestige OF Rosenbecker S
company of players, the low prices
made for the Auditorium engagement,
and the excellent programme an
nounced have awakened interest in the
concert tomorrow night
Adolph Rosenbecker's organization is
not new. 1t has been playing for a long
time. Some of the musicians now I'M
der Mr. Rosenbecker's baton have
been with him for many years. Not
until this year, however, has this or
any other large symphony aggregation
attempted such an extensive tour. None
has ever before undertaken to carry
symphony music into a chain of small
er cities. That the venture thus far
there is a demand outside of the large
cities for the best music.
Mime. Ragna Lime, soprano; Z. c.
Towne, tenor, and Jan Van Oordt, viO-
linist, are the soloists chosen for to-
morrow night The soloists as well as
the orchestra give tuneful, melodiouS
little gems as encores. There is no rea-
son to believe that the programme will
be too classical to suit even the most
unskilled in music.
The demand for seats continued good
at Stansfield's drug store today, while
the sale tonight and tomorrow is ex-
pected to be heavy, as desirable chairs
in all parts of the house and at all of
the prices are to be be had.

per company, President Garrett Schenck
and Vice President William 3. Dillon of

will be finally decided and a uniform
schedule put in force.
