The first telephone that was ever
used was not electrical, nor was it a
scientific instrument in any sense of
the term. About the middle of the
nineteenth century the employees of
a large factory in Sheffield, England
beguiled their leisure hours by kiteHy-
ing. Kites large and small went M
daily. and the strife was to see who
could get the largest. The twine which
held them was the thread spun and
twisted by the ladies of the village,
One day 10 the tail of the largest
kite was attached kitten, sewed in
a CAM as bag, with a netting over the
mouth to give it air When the kite
was 40 its greatest height-2OO feet or
more the mewing could be distinctly
heard by those holding the string. To
the clearness of the atmosphere was
attributed the hearing Of the Kitten :

New York, Sept. 14.-Six personsNin
enc family burned to death and six
others injured seriously in fire which
partially destroyed the tenement build
ing at Nos. ss-7O First street Tuesday.
More than twenty families were asleep
in the building and many. acts Of
bravery accompanied their rescue,
which were accomplished by firemen
and police. Owing to the danger OF q
fire in such a crowded section, the po-
lice reserves from three precincts were
hurried to the scene. Within the few
moments that elapsed the flames gain
ed great Roadway from the first floor
and the neighborhood was in a panic
of terror Women and children were
dropped from windows and dozens Of
persons were fighting in the hallway
to reach the open air. Policemen
climbed to the roof of the adjoining
building and by clinging to the cornice
reached down to the windows OF the
fifth floor and rescued several children
who were handed out by their parents.
Another officer. winding his coat about
his head. entered the building from be-
low and rolled down stairs the body
of half suffocated man. Three times
the officer came back to carry two per-
IONS in his arms. Then he fell ex-
hausted. In the meantime ladders had
been run up to the top of the building
and firemen rescued at least twenty
tenement dwellers who were about to
jump. Men sought to reach the fire.
men first, but were thrust back while
women and children were taken out.
One fireman, although badly burned.
took seven persons from a single win
dow on the fourth floor. When the
work Of rescue had been completed and
the flames quenched 1t was found there
were six dead. They were: Onda Ko-
novitsch, Anna Konovitsch. his wife.
and two sisters; twin babes Of the
Konovitsch family. three years old
Those injured sustained their hurts
chiefly by jumping from the lower
floors. but many received severe burns.
The financial loss is small.

The JAPANESE
FILED PROTEST
Wished Prompt Action Taken In the
Lena Matter.
CONSUL MAKES CALL.
Commander of Russian Vessel States
Her Boilers Are In Need of
Repairs and an Inspec.
ton Was Ordered.

San Francisco Sept. 1.-THE jap
anese were the first to bestir them.
selves when they learned of the pres
ence of the Russian ship, Lena, in the
harbor. Prominent members of the
Japanese colony called on Kishaburo
Uyeno. japanese consul general. and a
long conference was held. What took
place at this session is told by prom
inent Japanese. He said that It was
decided to have the Japanese consul
general call on Chancellor Stratton and
make the demand that the Lena leave
port Immediately. In the event of the
refusal of this request the consul gen.
eral was advised to demand Collector
Stratton that he be allowed to be the
judge of the fitness of the Russian
cruiser TO put to sea.
In accordance with these plans the
consul general called upon Stratton
shortly after he entered his office Mon
day morning. The two gentlemen were
closeted for an hour and half Neither
principal of the colloquy would dis
close what had been said, but II was
learned that at times the discussion
was most animated.
At the first demand that the Lena
be ordered to leave within the twenty
four hours limit the collector return
ed a curt refusal. Theh the consul
general made the demand that he be
permitted to be the Judge of the sea-
worthiness of the Russian ship.
The reply that Collector Stratton
made to this demand was in effect that
the United States was not only will
ing, but able, to cope with the situa-
ton without the assistance of either
of the belligerents. When Consul
Uyeno emerged from the collectors
office he denied that there had been
any friction. That was all he would
say at the time.
Monday afternoon Captain Berlinsky
4 of the Lena, accompanied by the Rus
sian consul. Kosavevitch, called on
Collector Stratton. Captain Berlinsky
assured the collector that he would
be most happy to acquiesce in any de-
mand relative to an investigation OF
the condition of his ship that the col
lector thought necessary. He carried
with him. duplicate copies of some
what lengthy statements one of which
he sent to the Japanese consulate and
the other to Admiral Goodrich. COM
manding the American fleet now in
this harbor.
The contents of this statement were
not made public. but 1t is known that
the captain explained why the Lena
was in this port. just what repairs he
deemed necessary to make his ship
seaworthy and just how much coal he
tho-ghr essential, for him to take on
board her.
II was determined that United States
Inspector Bulkger would examine the
vessel.
