NO STEPS IN THEATERs.

Francis Wilson Says All Descents
 Should H Gentle IncIines.
 Theatrical people in Philadelphia are mortified at the Iroquois disaster in Chicago. Francis Wilson in speaking the other night of the panic said, ac- cording to the Chicago Record Herald:
 T suppose similar scenes always will follow sudden rush in any building crowded with men and women, but I feel strongly that theater buildings could be improved so as to reduce the danger in stampede to minimum. It is my opinion that there should not be a single step in theater. The de- scents should be gentle inclines. That this is possible is shown by the con struction of new theater in Pittsburg, where even the gallery is reached by inclines.
 1t is the thought of the many stair ways that, must be passed quickly and possibly in darkness that drives the oc- cupants of the galleries to panic at any alarm. If they were sure of a clear pathway straight to the street half their fear would be allayed. In doing away with steps in the auditorium of theaters the builders should not forget the actors ;

 land fishing station and nothing else, and that the life of fishing com munity is only an alteration of gaunt famine and profitless plenty What Newfoundland needs Is farmers, agri- cultural settlers, who will not center their attention on her shores, but will engage in the development of her in- ternal resources.
 Newfoundland has very considera- ble extent of unsettled lands (area of island, 42,734 square miles), very limited population (21s,615 people,. The Canadians would have these lands studied, their resources made known, and inviting terms offered settlefs. Lying in the temperate zone climate suitable for the white colonist, it does appear as though here were an open ing for the overcrowded in the home land. and virgin soil to be enriched and cultivated for producing for ,ehe home markets. The coasts are rugged, but along the numerous lakes and wa ter courses of the interior there is
 
 heavily timbered. St. Johns, the capi- tai city, and also the metropolis, boasts population of about 30,OO0; and other centers are Harbor Grace (5,1S4), Carbonear (3,7O3), Twillingate (3,542), and Bonavista (3,696).
 Newfoundland is one of the great fishing headquarters of the world. The staple product is cod, which consti- tutes fve-eighths of the islands ex- port and employs three-quarters of it's population. The seal fisheries, also, are very important; the value of the seal catch for 1901 was $425,255. The island recently has begun to search the ground for minerals, as well as the waters for fish, and the year 1901 the total value of the output of crude ma terials at her mines and quarries amounted to over $1,00O,O00; copper, iron. pyrite ores, and slate were ex- ported to Europe and America; and the colony used the brick, building stone. granite. limestone and paving stone obtained Coal of good quality is found on the west coast, and in the eastern part of the island there are extensive deposits of silver and lead ore. There are 630 miles of railway in the colony.

CLUB FOR DOMESTICS.
AChicago Suburbs Plan to Solve Ser
 want Girl Problem.

VuAt@ WAAA AWWA&&AAs
 Classic Evanston, H., is to have q servant girls club.
 Within a year visitors to the north shore suburb of Chicago will find there a building completely fitted out as modern clubhouse which will be re- served entirely for the accommodation of cooks, chambermaids and nurses and their friends. The equipment will include reading rooms, gymnasium, a swimming pool and ballroom. Here the household servants of the suburb will gather in their leisure hours and amuse themselves in ways which are at present available only to their employ CTS, says the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 This is the solution of the servant girl problem which will be tried in the near future The first steps toward this end have already been taken by several prominent clubwomen. @hey have or ganized a servant girls. club, or rather mouse girls,'' as they prefer to call the women employed in their homes, and have given 1t the title of ''The White Aprons" The membership is at present limited to about thirty, but applications for entrance are pouring in, and the number will be enlarged.
 Until steps are taken to provide the organization with rooms of its own the clubwomen who are supporting the plan will throw open their own parlors at regular intervals for the meetings of the society. The first regular meeting was held at the home of Mrs. John Parry Johnston of 2018 Darlington ave- nue. During the first part of the even ing an open discussion was held upon the subject "The Making of Ice Cream" which was later demonstrated by Mrs. Johnston, who followed fa- vorite recipe of her own. Later the girls sang, danced and practiced varf- ous gymnastic feats. In this part of the entertainment the hostess was as- sisted by Miss Mabel May Heren, a senior in Northwestern university, who instructed the girls in dancing and gymnastic drill.
 Mrs. Johnston, who is at the head of the movement, is student of the serv- ant girl problem and is taking advance work in the department of sociology ia the local university. She has partici- pated in several former experiments of the same nature and was vice president of the Pittsburg Servant Girls associa- tion. She was also secretary of the New York Kindergarten society, of which Mrs. Jay Gould was president. Later she was London correspondent for one of the New York papers While in England she made a special study of the English method of handling serv- ants
 Tt was there," said Mrs. Johnston, t'that I developed my strong sentiments upon the subject. When I saw the mayor of London present graduate cer- tificates to several hundred girls from a servants school, with almost the dig nifty of a professional degree, I realized that we across the water must cease to look down upon our household employ ees. We complain of their lack of re- f1nement, and yet we give them no chance to come within refining inf1u- ences. My idea is good sized club house where they can meet to enjoy themselves, discuss their problems and develop themselves mentally and phys icaIIy.'' s

the Cinderella of her colonies" pos- sesses full self-government. For some time the question Of union with Canada has been under discussion, and the union has been looked upon most favorably by the Canadians The Newfoundlanders, however, have not shown an equal enthusiasm, holding to the sentimental aspect of the mat ter, fearing as subordinate colony they might lose prestige. But gradu- ally there seems to be growing a be- lief that commercially union with Canada would be desirable.
 The French shore'' question long has been vexed one, and to it is at- tributable much of Newfoundland s lack of progress. The French retain certain rights given them by the treaty of Utrecht back in 1713. rights for their fishermen to land and dry their fish on the northern and western shores of Newfoundland; and disputes over this matter have for years been a disturbing factor in the life of the islanders.
