DEATH TRAPS
OF THE ALPS
Increased Total of Fatalities Said
to Be Mainly Due to Pride
and Recklessness.
MANY CLIMB WITHOUT GUIDES.
To Save Money or to Boast of
Having Ascended a Difficult
Peak Without Assistance,
Amateurs Risk Lives.

Geneva. Aug. 6-Slowly but surely the
total of fatalities in the Alps is increasing.
and during a recent week four more
deaths have occurred.
The fate of three Alpinsts who djsap-
peared some time ago still remains a Inys-
terry, and there is little doubt that they
have been killed. refer to the two Italian
Apinists who left about July to make
the ascent of Monte Rosa and have rot
been heard of since. and to Herr Rubesch
of Claws. On June 20 he left the Alpine
hut on the Blumlisalp. with the intention
of reaching Lauterbrunnen by the Col Of
Sefinenfurgge, which is an easy walk.
1t is thought that Herr nubesch
changed his mind as to the route, end
took the way which leads from kander-
stegg to Lauterbrunnen by the glaciers OF
Gamtschi and Ischingel, much more
out guide. as Herr Rubesch was. Three
different search parties have been looking
for the missing man during the week, but
SO far without success.
GUIDES ARE NEEDED.
Fifty per cent of the accidents this sea-
son have happened to persons climbing,
without guides. and this in spite of every
warning from well-known climbers. False
economy and false pride are responsible
for the eyer-increasinS death-roll of The
Alps

There is a scene that oft in memr y looms
A Convent embOwer'd in trees
A shrine where Mary Immaculate stands.
And dear Bernadette Oh her knees.
The Chapel, that rest for the weary heart,
Where Jesus is ever adOred,
From the days bright dawn to its golden
close,
BY pure souls BELOVED of the Lord.
And the hours of innocent childhood spent
In that lovely and peaceful home,
Protected from sin and temptations shares
From dangers that everywhere roam.
Oft do | feel the winds SOFT balmy breath,
Through the naples and elms that blew,
Waiting the violets sweetest perfume
And scattering the drops of dew
From the bower under the locust's shade
How beautiful is the rare scene -
The College, facing Virginia's fair hills
The Potomac flowing between.
q, never the voices shall we forget
That recalrd us from dreamland sweet
That led us to pray'r, to studies and play
During hours that pass'd all too fleet.
The silvery tone of the bell will sound
Far over the wide gulf of years,
And hasten us ever where duty calls,
Despite all our cOwardly fears.
The playrOom, merry with laughter and song
Where the dancers all tripod so Light
Where the amateur actress play ID her role,
And the future seemd-O, SO bright
And the lived walk, near the tall plumb
pines.
That leads to the green-mounded hill

Where the sleepers all lie so still

Fire.

About 6:45 p. M. Friday of last week,
9TH inst, flash of flame in the northern
printing window of the HaverStick
studio, seen by George H. Hymes, was
first taken as development Of the flash
light apparatus.
In few moments, however, it was
fonnd that the upper story was on fire.
Alarm was at once sounded and with
in few minutes the Fire DepaI tment
and a crowd of spectators filled several
hundred feet of Broadway.
The Department turned on several
streams of water and had the chemical
engine also in operation.
This combination soon checked the
progress of the fire and within a very
short time had it under full control.
The most signal service was rendered
bv Thomas H. Morgan, who braved
flame and smoke to reach and carry the
lenses and cameras into the rear rooms.
Mr.. Haverstick, away from home,
was represented by Mrs. H., who was
alone in the studio and unconscious of
danger until the alarm was sounded.
The compatible loss exceeds 81 900,
while that in hundreds of negatives is
incalculable.
The studio is the business portion of
George Wehner's residence block, the
latter half being under the same roof.
In consequence, considerable damage
was incurred by Mr.. W., mainly from
water.
The fire started from electric sparks
from wires leading to a tiash-light ap-
paratus, igniting skylight curtains, and
from the beginning was threatening
blaze 1t quickly found its way to the
shingled roof and made glass crackle
and fall.
Several firemen were drenched with
water and others Jared worse. Frank
Spates, William w. Wittig and Moses
Keller were cut by glass, and Henry
Lammert, manipulating cog-wheel of
a hose-reel, lost finger.
