LET US ENTERTAIN THEM.

LET US ENTERTAIN THEM
The State Medical Association
composed of leading physicians
from all over the State, paid La
fayette the compliment of select
ing it as the next place of meet
ing, which will take place in May
but information has just been re
ceived that the Association has
decided not to meet here, having
been given to understand that
Lafayette is not in position to en-
terrain them. This is to be re.
GREETED, but is not beyond mend
ing, Is we are informed that the
Association has not yet chosen
any other place, and if we choose
to make the effort we can still Sc
cure it. And we should make
the effort, for Lafayette can not
afford to let this pass by. Con-
ventiOns are mOstexcellent things
for progressive towns, and their
value is realized. New Orleans
never permits a convention to
pass it by, if it can possibly be
secured, and is fast becoming
known as the convention city.
Lafayette could we'll pattern af-
ter New Orleans in this matter,
and should do it, for we are well
located, have the railroad facili-
ties, a beautiful hall in the In
dustrial School auditorium, and a
country and town worth showing.
Lafayette is rapidly pushing for
ward, and in order to continue it's
development, must have Outsi-
ders of means and character come
in and join in the movement. To
accomplish this, we must, among
other things, become sociable, in
vite people here and entertain
them, and this is a most excellent
opportunity. Besides to enter
tain such a representative body
as the State Medical Association
should be considered a high
privilege.
And The Advertiser believes
that the people here will take
pleasure in doing it, and would
suggest to the members of the
local Medical Association that
they appoint a committee to wait
upon our citizens at once, for we
feel sure they will receive all the
encouragement necessary. We
just can not afford to let the AS
ISOLATION meet elsewhere;it would
be q reflection upon our progress
siveness and a reproach to our
hospitality.

that occurred in the Cathedral at
Santiago, Chill, in 1868, when
nearly two thousand young girls
awaiting confirmation were
burned to death. The victims of
the Chicago fire similarly
were much the same-young
girls and children.
Chicago has a bad fire record.
The fire of 1871 was the greatest
the world has ever known in the
destruction of property it caused,
but in the loss of life-far dearer
lit pales into insignificance be-
fore the destruction of the IrO-
quOis Theatre yesterday, so
graphically and so touchingly
told elsewhere,
The theatre was the newest
and finest one in Chicago, only a
month OLD, handsome internally
and externally-built after the
model of the Opera COmique of
Paris. 1t was popular, and so
was the play running there, and
it is easy to imagine what a
matinee audience was cOngre-
gated there yesterday in the
midst of the Christmas holidays.
Of that audience, 600 persons, or
more than one-third, are dead,
and their deaths were horrible
beyond description, for, buried
deep beneath the rush of panic.
stricken people, pinioned in the
aisles and stairways, trampled
and bruised or smothered by gas,
they were slowly burned to
death, with no chance or posi-
bility to escape.
There is not muchtO be learned
from the disaster that can profit
US. The fire began from an
electric light accident, but the
loss of life was due mainly to
that fatal panic against which no
provision can be made. Had the
doors been twice as wide and the
staircase twice as broad it would
have mattered little and would
have saved but few lives. The
panic had started the audience to
the doors together, scrambling,
fighting for exit. It required
but one person to slip and pile
up the struggling humanity a
dozen deep, to shut off all escape.
The fact that the bulk of the
audience were young women and
children. the usual matinee
patrons. added to the panic and
the loss of life. Men would most
likely have fought their way out,
and the loss of life would, al
though heavy, have been less
than it was, but with two thou
sand or more wOmen-mainly
young wonderland children, the
confusion, panic and loss of life
was inevitable.
There are few provisions that
can be made against such a dis
aster; but the question will call
for the best and most careful
consideration, to assure better
protection to life in all cases
where a large number of people
are gathered, as at theatres and
similar entertainments.
There should be better protec-
ton afforded in the matter of the
more exits and there
should be no question about the |
