FOUR FLATS ARE BURNED
BY SUDDEN CONFEDERATION
Flames Ruin a Quartet of Homes on
Pine Street and Are Subdued
With Difficulty.

Fire almost completely gutted the inte-
rior of four flats at 2OS5, 20S7. 2039 and 2041
Pine street yesterday afternoon and did
considerable damage to the two buildings,
especially in the interior. The building
at 2O35-37 Pine street is owned by Austin
Mcnamara, an umbrella dealer at Bat
terry street, who resided in one of the
flats. Alex Mann, a flower dealer on Polk
street, owned the building at 2039 Al and
occupied the top fiat. The other flats
were occupied by T. G.. Elliot, lawyer,
and A NJ. Allardyce, an employe of the
telephone company.
The fire started in the area between the
two buildings and is supposed to have
been caused by children playing with
matches 1t had attained considerable
headway before an alarm was turned in.
The blaze ate its way into both houses
and was raging fiercely when the Fire
Department arrived. 1t was difficult
fire to handle and an immense amount
of water was poured on it before the
blaze was subdued.
AS a consequence the interior furnish
ings of all the flats We're practically ruin
ed. The damage to the buildings them
selves probably will not amount to more
than $500, which is fully covered by in
surance. The furnishings were uninsured
and will be practically a total loss. They
were worth about $1,000.
The occupants of the flats were forced
to flee without saving anything further
than their money and jewelry, so rapidly
did the flames spread. Mrs Allardyce
ran out leaving behind her a large sum
of money and some valuable jewelry in
the dresser. These were recovered in
tact after the fire, although the dress1g
containing them was badly scorched.

DR.. Tvndall,s Lectures

what is Clairvoyance?'' is the subject
chosen for DIR. Alexander ]. McIvor-T yn-
dalrs psychological lecture at Steinway
Hall Sunday evening. The interest in
these subjects, as propounded by the IA
nous psychologist, is constantly increas-
ing. Each succeeding Sunday night finds
large audiences gather at Steinway Hall.
Clairyoyance is a subject that is little un-
derstood and one that has never been
given logical, scientific explanation.
That there is a peculiar psychic. faculty
that can see into the unknown is some
thing that seems to be warranted by
facts, although there are many who claim
that all so-called spiritualistic phenomena
can be elucidated on strictly materialistic
lines. The truth regarding this mystic
rious subject will be fully exemplified at
the lecture Sunday night by DR.. McIvor-
Tyndall. The lecture Will be illustrated
by demonstrations and experiments in the
powers of the invisible forces.

THE CROWDED SCHOOLS.

NJ EW YORK CITY appropriated money to
M furnish adequate school facilities, relieve
OvercrOwded classrooms and accommodate
the thousands OF children for whom there was no
room at all The new buildings were put promptly
under construction, and to have been ready for
occupancy at the beginning OF the present school
year. But they not ready. The building trade
strikes, instigated by the walking delegates Murphy
and Parks, stopped the work, and as a result $4,000
school children put on haf-time and for 5000
there is no room at ALL even for fraction of day
This means that $4,000 children in that city OF
school age have no provision for their education
The public schools peculiarly the academy OF the
poor, or OF those who have not the means to spare
20 give their children educational advantages else
where than in such schools The wel-to-do are in
measure independent OF the common schools, and
when those fail give adequate advantages they are
able to bestow them in private establishments But
when the children OF the masses are shut out of the
schools they lose their sole chance for edu
cation
Surely it is the most serious disregard of the
wholesome conditions OF community life that brings
about such situation as that in New York 1t is
attack by the walking delegates upon the rights
OF nearly 10000 children, who cannot defend them
selves The alarming feature OF it is that the union
labor which those children out Of school knows
other for the strike that did than that it
ordered by the walking delegates. One may well
be led to question the quality of citizenship of men
who, without knowing why, consent to turn their
children OF school and into the street be-
cause they ordered to do by a walking dele
gate, who gives no reason for his auocratc use of
power. The oath which binds them to obedience to
such an order, with such result is one inimical to
the interests OF the people and dangerous to the
Government itself
This attack on $4,000 school children in New
York, and the refusal of the milk teamsters in Chi
cago make than one delivery OF milk per
day resulting in the death OF thousands of children
who would be alive if there had been two deliveries
are examples OF labor union policy that may well
disquiet the whole country The beasts that perish
have regard for their young, and what must be said
OF who in pursuit of any purpose whatever con-
denim their own children to ignorance and death!
If union labor is to be justified it is evident that
Il must change its oaths and its management and
realize its responsibility part OF the COM
munity sharing the responsibility for the things es-
sential to community life An oath that puts the
authority OF the walking delegate above law and re-
igion and these evidences of slavish obedience to
that OATH to the injury of the families of the
men who obey II, is obligation imposed upon men
for the destruction Of all government, and is the
essence Of anarchy

BOARD OF EDUCATION
Is FULLY SUSTAINED
Supreme Court Defines Position Of
Superintendent of Schools of
San Francisco.

The Supreme Court declared yesterday
that the work of the Board of Education
of San Francisco could not be done
through deputies. The question arose in
a suit brought by ex-Superintendent of
Schools Webster against the Directors
The School superintendent is ex-officio
a member of the Board of Education.
Webster did not want to attend the de-
liberations of the body himself and sent
his deputy, ". d. Kingsbury instead
The board refused to admit the deputy
and the superintendent petitioned the Su-
perior Court for writ of mandamus. The
board was sustained and an appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court
The last named tribunal holds thai the
Superintendent of Schools may have depu-
ties, but that no member of the Board Of
Education can be provided for likewise. 1t
is declared that Webster, as Superinten-
dent of Schools and as ex-officio member
of the Board of Education, held two dis
tinct and wholly separate positions.

PAPYRUS CLUB
ENTERTAlNS
MANY GUESTS

The Papyrus Club entertained yester-
day in Utopia Hall and as is usual with
this coterie of clever women offered a
programme that reflected the breezy per-
sonality of the club. About 100 members
and guests gathered to listen to a few
clever stories that are always on tap, to
hear the sweet voice of Madame Semin-
ario and, among other things. to hear.
what Mr.. John McNaught had to say
about "Woman's Clubs"
The programme as rendered was as fol-
lows
wit and humor by the club members; So
prano solo, 'Sersnade" (Wallace) Madam Ida
de Seminario; short talk. .'Woman's Clubs,
Scene from Macbeth (Shakespeare); (b) He

Death and Life Gerard Barton); (c) II
Were King louis Tiptonl. Mr. $: Homer Home
Henley: accompanist. Mrs. Helen Sutherland,
arranged by Miss Ella p. McCloskey.
Six members told the very best stories
they knew, created or borrowed-ln any
case they were well told. In this phase
of development women are again en-
croaching upon mans domain.
The solos were delightfully."- rendered,
as were the readings by Miss kelleher.
The address by Mr.. McNaught was quite
the event Of the day. To be sure he said
he believed clubs to be good institutions;
that they were powerful aids to devel-
opment, and many other nice things, but
no man would have had the hardihood to
say otherwise. But the ladies were con-
vinced of the sincerity of his declara-
tions and voted the talk the very best
they had listened to by a ''non-eligible
for a long time.
The next meeting of the club will be
for members only.
The Forum Club had delightful ses-
sion on Wednesday afternoon, Mrs. Hen
ry Payot presiding.
Several delightful numbers were given
by friends of the club and a trip through
Rome-on canvas-was the event of the
afternoon. Henry Payot was the cice-
rome, who in charming manner carried
the ladies through the palaces, ruins and
libraries of the ancient city and through
the Vatican.
Mr.. Payot has given literally of his
store of knowledge of the Old World, and
interest in his talks is augmented by the
fine views in his possession of every
building and site of note.
