had been the cause OF a number Of the
inmates being sufrocated. Lying in a
bed alongside a window at the rear OF
the fourth floor the aremen found the
bodies of FIVE men. Each had elutched
the one next to him in an endeavor to
push him away IN order to get to the
fire escape outside The features Of
the men were distorted, some with
rage and two in agony. In two In
stances the men had gripped each 9th
er so hard that blood had run down
over their hands
On the fourth 8ocr was found tho
body of Maculeta vlngiguerro and the
body of her baby. The mother had
crawled to the front window and had
succeeded in grasplng the sill when
she was suffocated In her arms lay
the body Of her child.
, When the fremen reached the
scene there was a pass Of flames
bursting through the middle Of the
roof. while the air was fllled with
heartrending screams OF the women
and curses Of the men. Many daring
rescues were made BY the flremen,
who at times had to use violence in
their attemps to disentangle the mass
of writing human beings struggling
in vain efforts to reach safety from
the crowded fire escapes. One fire.
man climbed to the fourth floor. whore
a window was filled with a mass of
people, damned in and fighting to get
out. He struck the heads of all the
men he could see with his first and
they fell back. He then handed down
to the firemen on the ladder below
him three women and baby. Anoth-
err fireman performed a similar feature
and rescued two girls from the fourth
floor. Life nets nets played promi
nent part in the work Of rescue. The
fremen dropped men and women,
dead and alive, from one floor to an
other and finally the men standing on
the ladders on the first floor let them
fall into the nets held by policemen
and firemen in the street.

A TENEMENT HOUSE HORROR.
Twenty-Five Persons Dead Suffocated in Their
Attempts to Reach the Fire Escapes

New York, Nov. 2.-Twenty-one
men, three women and 1O-months
old baby were burned to death or suf-
located in a fire that started early yes
terday morning In The House of All
Nations" a flve-story tenement house
at 210 Eleventh avenue, which the po-
lice and Coroner believe to be of In
cendiary origin. Some of the peculiar
features of the disaster In addition to
the startling loss of life, are that the
fire was practically extinguished in
twenty minutes, the police could learn
Of but one person injured other than
those who lost their lives, and that the
property loss was only $1,000.
The dead are mostly Italians of the
poorer class.
The only person injured, so far as
can be learned Is Mary Jane Quinn,
who was burned about the face and
hands and severely bruised by leaping
from second story window fire es-
cape.
Several apartments in the tenement
held Halloween parties and the guests
added materially to the number of
persons in the house and made the
crush and jam to escape moro than it
ordinarily would have been. Although
plentifully provided with fire escapes,
the front and rear escape was cut off
for few minutes after the fire start
ed by the bodies of the dead becoming
wedged in the openings leading to the
ladders. The fire had been burning for
some minutes before 1t was discovered.

FEVER SITUATION I'm LAREDO.
Cool Weather Will Help to Stamp 1t Out The Cases
Must Be Reported Immediately.

Laredo, Texas. Oct. S1.--The yellow
fever situation during the past twenty
four hours has not been as favorable
as was indicated in the report of night
before last. The present warm wealth
er is rather unfavorable and unless
the citizens cooperate with the marine
hospital service men In the endeavor to
keep their premises in good santa,
ry condition, the stamping out of the
disease may not be effected at as ear
ly a date as has been contemplated.
During the present epidemic the
physicians and others having the cpl
demic in charge have occasionally met
with resistance upon the part of citi-
zens. The city council met in special
session and passed sweeping ordi-
nance that gives the health authorities
ample power to handle the situation.
Heavy penalties are imposed upon
those resisting the sanitary people or
the physicians in the discharge of their
duty.
Fifteen cases we're reported yester-
day, eight of which have developed
within the past twenty-four hours
This makes total of COZ cases. Four

A Chinese wife is not exactly to be

not merely of her husband but also of
his mother. A book on Chinese eti-
qnette gives rules which show pretty
clearly how utterly subject a woman
is TO her mother-in-law. Here are q
few of them: when your mother-in-
law sits you should stand. Obey her
orders quickly. Rise early in the MORN
ing and open the doors quietly, taking
care to make no noise to waken her.
Hasten TO prepare her toilet articles:
retire and prepare for tea. Take 1t to
her quickly and cheerfully, and then
arrange the breakfast table. Place the
chopstieks straight, boil the rice soft,
and let the meal be thoroughly done.
Prepare the meals thus carefully thrice
daily. When darkness comes and your
great one desires TO sleep, spread the
bed, when she may peacefully rest and
