The Lost Cap.

He hunted through the library,
He looked behind the door;
. He searched where baby keeps his toys
Upon the nursery floor.
He asked the cook and Mary,
He called mamma to look;
He even started sister up
To leave her summer book.
He couldn't find it anywhere
And knew some horrid tramp
Had walked in through the open gate
And stolen 1.-THE scamp!
Perhaps the dog had taken it
And hidden it away,
Or else perhaps he'd chewed it up
And swallowed it in play.
And then mamma came down the
stairs,
Looked through the closet door,
And there it hung upon its peg,
AS it had hung before
And Tommy's cheeks turned rosy red,
Astonished was his face.
He couldn't find his cap because
Twas in its proper place.

The Story of the PuffbalI.

In the woods, especially under oak
trees, you will often find brown balls
about the size of walnut, which
when stepped upon explode with a
loud bang. The proper name for
these little balls is oak apples, or
gals. If you cut one open carefully
so as not to get any of the brown
dust, with which it is partly filed,
in your eyes you will discover right
iR the center a tiny cell in which a
little worm has lived and grown up.
In the first place, the gall fly, a
small insect with four wings, lays
an egg in the tissue Of an oak leaf.
The egg soon matches into a larva.
The larya is a hungry little fellow,
for he begins to eat right away, and
while he feeds his house grows
around him until, when full grown,
he finds himself on the inside of
what we commonly call a puffball.
He then eats his way out, and the
first strong wind tumbles his house
down to the ground.

Proper Way to Change Sheets on an
InvaIid's Bed.

Proper Way to Change Sheets on an
InvaIid's Bed.
Keeping the bed as smooth and
fresh as the inyalid's condition will
permit can't be too strongly urged.
Every one knows what torment it
is to lie on sheets that are hot and
wrinkled. Unless the patient suf-
fers with a brain or heart trouble
the bedding can usually be changed.
Roll up the old sheet from one side
of the bed close to the invalid's
body. Now spread a fresh sheet
over the part of the mattress ex-
posed, laying it on just as it should
properly go. The rest of the sheet
must be folded narrowly in a long
fold that lies close to the roll of
soiled sheet. Lift the patient slight
ly and draw both rolls swiftly un-
derneath her to the other side. This
done, the old sheet can be snatched
off and the half of the fresh one
spread out. 1t can all be accom-
plished without uncoyering the pa
tient. To put on new top sheet
without disturbing the bed covers
pull them out at the bottom and
tuck in the fresh sheet. Twist the
rest into a roll that runs straight
across the bed. Slip this under the
soiled top sheet and tuck in all but
that at the foot of the bed. Now
unroIl the sheet over the invalid
and gently pull out the old one.

Boiled Icing.

Boil slowly together a pound of
granulated sugar and gill of water.
Do not stir. Test by dipping the
point of fork into the sirup. When
a hairlike thread floats from the tip
of the fork take the strip from the
fire and beat to a creamy paste. If
it becomes too stiff to stir work with
the hands. Spread on the cake with
knife dipped in hot water. If it
becomes hard too soon set the vessel
containing it in an outer vessel of
scalding water.

THE work of deepening the chan
mel at Brazos Santiago will COM
mence within ten days and the
Times takes this opportunity to ex-
tend its congratulations TO Browns
vile and all that region round about
the mouth Of the border stream. We
especially congratulate the esteem
ed HERALD, whose continual agita-
ton OF this enterprise for many
years past finally crystalized pub
lie sentiment, drew the attention of
the Government and now inaugu-
rates the work. The first contract
calls for a channel over the bar of
only ten feet. While this would
permit the entrance of ali coastwise
vessels to the wharves at Point Isa-
bel. it is understood that this IS
only the beginning of work that
will finally eliminate in a deep wa
ter port. As the Times has pointed
out on various occasions, the con-
struction of an Isthmian canal IS
going to call for a vast number OF
deep water ports on the Texas
coast. Galveston cannot handle one
tenth of the products from Texas
and the great Northwest that will
seek an outlet on the Gulf coast for
passage through the Isthmus en-
route to the teeming millions of the
Orient and upon the completion of
the canal, the maritime interests of
the Republic are going to be face
to face with a stupendous problem,
the problem of handling the pro-
ducts of one half the nation, if,
while the canal IS building, the
harbors of Texas have not been
made available for the largest ocean
going steamers. This work at
Brazos Santiago is, therefore, mere
ly the beginning. That particular
point IS ideal for a great harbor. A
vast inland bay, large enough to
float the navies of the world, in
dents the coast at Point Isabel and
a line of railway connects this place
with Brownsville. 1t is a section
that has few storms and, located in
the sub-tropics, the leviathans of
the worlds commerce may enter
at any season of the year. All the
Rio Grande valley, upon both the
Mexican and American sides of the
river. will be natural tributary 10
this port. and this territory alone
is capable, with proper cultivation,
of furnishing tonnage to an inn
mense feet of steamers. Browns
vile, just at hand, will be the nat
ural mart of trade and in time her
business should rival that of the
maritime cities of old Europe and
her streets become Rialtos where
merchants most do congFegate, "
to send forth their floating ventures
to every quarter of the earth. This
small beginning at Brazos Santiago
marks the inauguration of the new
era, the era in which our country
will seize the commercial empire of

CHICAGO, December 30.-More than
five hundred men, women and little
children met a fearful death at the
Iroquois theater this afternoon, tor
tured and moderated by fire, suffo-
Gated by smoke and gases, crushed
to death by one another while strug-
Cling to escape impending doom.
Hundreds of others are now lying
between life and death, with limbs
broken and burnt, at their homes and
in hospitals, while every undertaking
establishment in the city is filled with
dead bodies, many of which will never
be identified.
The disaster, the most fearful of the
character that has ever fallen on Chi
cago, occurred in the middle of the
matinee performance, of Mr.. Blue
beard" with fully, eighteen hundred
persons in the audience, large pro-
portion of them being women, girls
and little children.
A calcium light on a stand six feet
above the level of the stage exploded,
and in a moment a little streak of
flame had caught the tinseT of the
stage setting, flooding everything back
of the foetlights in wave of fire.
Eddie Foy, the chief comedian of the
company stood out from the panic
stricken group on the stage to assure
the audience that there was no dan
ger. Even as he spoke, the great as
bestos curtain was let down, but it
caught on one end and failed to work
In another instant the smoke burst
out from the top arch of the stage and
from under the bottom of the curtain,
and before man or woman in the
seats could rise the whole roof of the
auditorium was in a blaze.
DEATH CAME IN A WAVE OF GAS.
Two gas tanks exploded in the flies
on the east side of the theater, and
black. choking fumes beat down in
a cloud Of death from every wall. That
was all. Fear, uncomfortable and ter
rible, reigned. Men and women fought
like wild beasts, filed only with a
desire for self-preservation Babies
slipped from their mothers up1ifted
arms and in an instant their lives
were crushed under foot. Girls threw
themselves from the balcony and lay
crushed and dying till suffocation end
ed their miseries.
More than thousand people in the
orchestra seats, with easy access to
doors, gradually made their way to
safety, but most of them threw aside
wraps, pocketbooks, hats-everything
that seemed to burden them-in their
rush for life and the open air In
spite of the panic, in spite of the suffo-
cation. nearly all Of them were saved
DESPERATE STRUGGLE FOR LIFE
Then, when the full meaning of the
disaster came to them, they fought
and battled with one another for
safety-battled like stampeded animals
with deadly smoke curling all about
them, everything plunged into abso-
lutte darkness. not even a friendly Ian
tern to show them the way out of this
pit OF death.
The classic outlines of the theater,
the beautiful plush hangings, the arch
ed windows with their stained glass,
and stately pillars, became a morgue
five minutes after the first little rib
bon of fame made it's way along the
stage. The women and girls in the
galleries never had chance for life.
Many met the end still seated In their

A Well
Developed
Form

A good set of muscles is one of the
most excellent qualifications which any
person can possess. There is no posi-
ton in life for which they unfit one, and
there is none which they will not enable
one to fill to better advantage than he
otherwise could do. There are thous-
and and one emergencies in life in which
strong, vigorous, and wel1-frained mus
cles are of enormous service, and in
which their use may be of incalcuable
value. Proper physical culture gives,
not only increased physical strength, but
greater dexterity, suppleness, and grace
of movement. The person who walks
with shuffling, swaying, and awkward
gait, does so, not on account of any
original defect in his physical makeup,
but througfs the weakness of certain
muscles which, by disuse, have become
unable to do their part in the act of
walking, and so render him unable to
perform it in an easy and graceful man
ner. The trained gymnast exhibits a
Iightness and elasticity of movement inn
possible to an individual who has not
had the benefit of physical training at

FIELD DAY SET
FOR APRIL Is

The Field Day is still the athletic
event in the immediate future. Bad
weather cannot down it. The athletic
committee which met at the Y. NJ. c..
A. rooms yesterday made some impor-
tant decisions, one of which was that
the meet should be held April 16. The
old date was regretfully abandoned be-
cause continued rains had made it i'm
possible to get the track in the shape
it ought to be for record events. 1t
was felt that the change would be par
t;eularly hard on the Kamehameha
team, because the school goes on it's
annual camping trip next week and
the team would have to break train
ing. Then too when they return they
want to devote themselves to baseball
for the interscholastic season. The
Kamehameha boys very gracefully
waived any objections and as far as is
known the other teams will find the
chang e rather an advantage than 9TH
erwise. 1t is thought that the en-
trance of a team from the .. S. Ma
rines will render the competition a
very close one, as they will excel no
doubt in the field events, leaving
very uncertain issue for the track
events as between Kamehameha and
the town.
The cup which is to be competed for
will soon be exhibited in the window
of Wichman & Co., which firm con-
tributed very generously towards it.
1t will take three successive seasons
to win it for all time, so the town may
see it for some years yet to come.
The feature which added so much
to the success of the last field day, the
browning of the winners, will be re-
peated this year, and it is hoped under
the same happy auspices.
The new grounds are fast taking
beautiful shape and rumor has it that
other improvements besides those un-
dertaken for track and diamond are
soon to be undertaken. The public GER
tainly has surprise in store for itself
The opening day is April IA.

BOXERS READY
FOR TONIGHT

All the participants of the boxing
tournament of tonight are in fine fettle
and three close encounters are almost
foregone conclusion. Barry took
matters easy yesterday with a bout or
two and rundown in the morning
and a car ride and sea bath at Wal
kiki. He weighs 1872 pounds stripped.
Patton also was resting yesterday TAX
ing a short walk. He scaled ia last
evening in his boxing duds.
Silva, in language more forcible than
elegant, announced his opinion that "a
gooda puncha in the opu woulda maka
da Macanamara quitta.'' Alderman
thinks that a. punch or two on the
head will settle the DSgo's hash. You
wait" he concluded, and you'll see my
picture in the paper, all I want is a
chance and I'll be with the big fellows
yet" So with these preconceived vic
tories on both sides the meeting of
these two should be an interesting
clash.
AS for Jackson, he is as fit as a ffd-
die and he has a new left hand jab,
modelled upon Barry's methods, that
he thinks will settle McDonald's hash.
Jackson has never taken a boxing les
son but he is absolutely fearless, has
first class punches and fights clean and
aggressively.
Mcdonald has been training con-
scientiously and will be in far better
shape than at his last appearance. He
has a clean, bright eye that guaran-
tees his physical condition and feels
certain of making the better showing.
This should be a closely contested at
fair.
In regard to the Barry-Patton out
come, Barry remains favorite though
Patton has substantial backing. 1t is
generally allowed that Barry, if he
wins, will earn his money and in tack
ling Patton has taken on his hardest
local proposition.
Both men are young and strong and
in fine condition. Both are clean boxers
who attend strictly to business and
make no boasts beforehand. Barry has
improved in style since his arrival and
no one has seen him pushed to any
where near his limit, though Murphy
landed some punches on him that
would have knocked out any ordinary
man. Barry naturally, being a five
time winner and a first class sort of a
fellow anyway, is favorite, but there
will be many doings and several gong
beats this evening before the suprem-
acy is finally settled
The Orpheum is being entirely re-
habilitated for the coming season and
has been tastefuIly decorated in shades
of light terra Gotta and gold. New mos
quito wiring has been completed and
the ventilation made freer. All the
alterations will not be completed by
this evening but enough has been done
to greatly enliven the theater- The
gong for the light weight preliminaries
will sound at $3.50.
