] 'PROCTOR'S
THEATER is TOTALLY De-
sTRoYED sY FIRE
A poLICEMAN's BRAVERY
Stopped Panic and Saw
ed Loss ST Life.

New York, May 6.-Three alarms In
rapid succession were turned In for a
fire at Proctor's One Hundred and
Twenty-fifth street theatre, on One
Hundred and Twenty.fifth street near
Lexington avenue in Harlem, Manhat-
tan borough. A performance was go
ing on at the theatre when the alarms
were turned in.
The fire In the theatre started In the
top floor of the building which is used
as carpenter shop where scepery Is
built and repaired, the theatre being
a stock company house. So far as can
be learned at this time, the flames
originated in several piles of shavings
and quickly spread.
The smoke was discovered issuing
from the windows of the top floor by
Policeman w. ]. MCGOWAN of the One
Hundred and Twenty-afth street sta
tion who proved himself the salvation
of the great crowd In the auditorium,
witnessing the performance in prog
ress at the time he discovered the
flames.
MCGOWAN, Immediately after he saw
the smoke, turned in an alarm, and
then a second one, but this was pro-
ductive of little result, as the IRE
house, two doors from the theatre,
was almost empty, all the apparatus
except an old engine being farther
down town engaged in fighting the
fire In the Universal storage ware
house and Express company at Eighty
eighth street and Third avenue. The
one engine responded, however, fol-
lowed by other from the west side OF
Harlem.
MCGOWAN then turned In call for
the reserves from the One Hundred
and Twenty-fifth street station and
then, alone, went into the theatre. BY
this time. the flames had worked down
into the next floor below the carpenter
shop and were rapidly spreading far
ther.
MCGOWAN had the management
quickly lower the asbestos curtain and
he stopped an incipient panic among
the audience which, with the help of
the ushers and others of the theatre
attaches, was got out in more or less
orderly fashion.
Calls were turned in for ambulances
from the nearby hospitals but they
had nothing to do, as beyond half
dozen women fainting and being car
ried out to the street, no one was even
slightly hurt. The surgeons restored
the women who had tainted in the
excitement and then returned to their
hospitals.
The flames worked down through
the other floors before there was
enough fire apparatus arrived at the
theatre to check the spread of the fire.
Other calls for apparatus were turned
in in .rapid succession, some being
called even from Brooklyn. The build
ing at IL o'clock is practically gutted
and the loss will be heavy.
F. F. Proctor Is the lessee of the
theatre where he has had stock COM
pany billed for more than a year and
a half. A large quantity of scenery
was stored In the building and this
has all been destroyed. The extensive
wardrobes Of the company have also
been lost.
Prootor's One Hundred and Twenty
fifth street theatre was formerly the
Columbus theatre built by Oscar
Hammerstein. After the latter gave it
up, 1t passed into the hands of the
late H. G. Miner who ran it as
vaudeville house.

The Underground Ocean,

The Investigations Of the geological
survey have brought to light facts
about the enormous quantity Of under
ground water contained in the crust
Of the globe which are calculated to
astonish the ordinary reader Below
depth Of about six miles it is believed
that no water can exist in the rocks
because the tremendous pressure prob
ably closes all pores: but above that
level the amount Of underground
water Is estimated to be equal to one
third of ali the water contained in all
the oceans. If poured over the land
surface Of the globe. the underground
water would be sufficient to cover it
to a uniform depth Of from 1900 IL

Joseph Little Bristow. who is credit

which stirred up so many Of Uncle

He Is a native Of Kentucky, but for
many years was a resident Of Kansas,

frauds in Cuba.
Mr.. Bristow has reputation for
nerve that was earned back in the
nineties, when he was running the
Salina (Kan.) Republican. A negro
named Hudson had been arrested on
suspicion Of having assaulted q wo.
man. A mob took him from the Jail
and prepared to lynch him. AS the
mob passed the entrance to a stairway
leading back from the street some
friendly hand cut the negro's bonds
and slipped the moose from his neck.
In an instant he broke from his cap

The negro would have been caught,
but as the mob rushed to get into the
entrance way 1t was blocked by the
tall, gaunt form Of Bristow.
Bracing himself with a hand on eli.
Their side of the entrance, Bristow
alone faced the yelling mob. They
tore at him to loosen his grip, but he
held on with marvellous tenacity. OF
course no one could long withstand
the rush Of that crowd Of maddened
men. They wrenched him loose,
dragged him into the street, and some
one hit him terrible blow on the head
with revolver. The blow felled Bris-

turned upo the crowd with the intent

White Buffalo.


Old buffalo hunters of the western
Kansas prairies used to tell Of hav-
ing seen and pursued white buffalo.
There were white buffalo, albinos, such
as are found at rare intervals in all
the families Of the animal kingdom.
but the number Of those which existed
in fact and Of those which existed
purely in the imagination, says the
Kansas City Journal, We're in wonder
full dispropOrtion.
In 1873 old Ben Garfield, who roam
ed the plains, with his tall. gaunt wife
for companion. followed herd Of
buffalo from the northern edge of what
is now Oklahoma to the sand hills Of
Nebraska, thinking to kill big white
bull which he had seen in the herd
After three weeks Of patient stalking
Garfield did kill the bull, only to find
that the wilderness of its appearance
was due to coat of whitewash.
An explanation of this phenomenon
would not be needed by people familiar
with the natural lime beds of western
Kansas. The habit Of the buffalo is
to roll or wallow in every pool of wa
ter or mudhOle to which he comes
Canfield's buffalo had simply been roll
ing In bed Of the native lime, which.
when dried in the sun. coated his hide
with kind Of plaster.
No doubt these lime holes account
for many of the white buffalo" 30 of.
ten reported by hunters.
