c. N. Andrews called the attention of
the board to the necessity of doing some
thing for the summer school that will
be held this season at the normal. There
will be between three and four hundred
teachers who will sojourn in the city in
attendance at this school for six weeks,
and who will spend in the city here dur
ing this time about $4,000 if not more.
Last year the citizens were asked to
give money to help carry on the school
and they did SO. This year the state has
appropriated enough for the actual ex-
penses of the school. Yet it is deemed
advisable by those in charge of the sum-
mer school that the teachers be given
some entertainments and lectures from
time to time and farewell reception
at the close of the session. This will re-
quire money. It is deemed advisable
to raise about 800 for this purpose.
On motion of Mr.. Andrews the COM
mittee on entertainment was instructed
to look into this matter and report.

Nearby stands the educational build
ing. Here are exhibits of work by tn,
school children of every state Nortl
Mankato's prize exhibit is here, stand
ing for the school work of the children
of Minnesota.
In this same building there are sew
eral classes, being taught by first rate
teachers. The pupils are st. Louis chill
dren. The school rooms are truly mod
els of what school rooms ought to be
The children go right on with their work
and pay no attention to the streams OF
people, who are continually passing by
the doors.
| In this same neighborhood stands the
electricity building. Here enc may see
telephones such as they were when first
invented, and as they were changed and
improved from time to time, until the
most modern and up-to-date telephones
of the world are seen. The same sort
of historical exhibits are shown, of all
sorts of electrical apparatus.
Wireless teltgraphy is actually carried
on here. A sender and receiver stand
at opposite ends of the building, hun
dreds of feet apart. Anybody can send
a telegram at one end of the building
and get his message when he goes out
at the other end.
Outside on the grounds, two of the
largest sending and receiving towers in
the world are located at opposite ex-
tremities of the exposition territory, and
are kept in almost continuous operation.
In the varied industries building, the
German and Japanese exhibits are i'm
mense. Japan has vases, embroidery,
hand carving, ebony work, and countless
other specimens of the handiwork of her
most skilled people. Germany shows
vast number of excellently furnished
rooms. Some of these rooms are equip
ped so beautifully that the passer-by
stands awestruck. England has very
pretty and interesting model English
home.
In the transportation building one
may examine locomotives, street cars,
bicycles, automobiles, and about every
other kind of vehicle that modern civil
ization has produced to get over the
ground, in all stages of their history and
development.
The agricultural building is the larg-
est on the grounds and has four miles
of aisles, through which the spectator
must 60 to see everything.
The best of the state buildings are of
Missouri, Texas, Kentucky, New York

eleven years ago. The little girl and her

Thirty eighth street IN Manhattan.
Some came ashore still alive. Many
of these died
Rows OF bodies were stretched along
the beach, and hysterical women and
frantic men went along looking at one
after another, searching for relatives
and friends. Women with disfigured
faces. their clothing partly stripped
from them, were carried to the emer-
gency hospital, crying for children who
had been torn from them in the mad
rush when the boat took fire.
Meanwhile. the Slocum burned to
the waters edge. At 1925 o'clock,
two hours and twenty-five minutes
after the fire was first discovered, she
sank. 1t is thought there were then
nearly 100 charred bodies on the
decks. Just after the steamer sank
the water near by was black with
bodies.
The tug Fidelity picked up So
charred bodies in Hunts Cove off
Rickers island and carried them into
the sound. None of these bodies, it is
thought, can ever be identified.
Heads, legs and arms are burned off
and not shred of clothing is left on
any Of them.

made the following statement:
From all the evidence which has
been produced before me, am of the
opinion that the fire started in the
storageroom on the starboard side of
the boat forward. There was stored
in the room, oils, paints, old rope,
campstools, lumber and other material
of highly inflammable nature. This
material was such as any ship is COM
PEELED to carry and so far as it's pres
ence is concerned, do not know that

The coroner says the fire alarm was
sounded; hose was manned but there
was no watera The panic foiled eff
forts of the crew to work the fire ap-
raratus.
The coroner says the owners will not
be exonerated unless the fire is proven
to have been from combustion.

HIGH WIND TANNED
FLAMES INTO FURY.

AS the vessel was built in 1891, the
wellseasoned wood of which she was
almost entirely built, was soon mass
OF flame. The Roadway of the vessel
and high wind famed the flames into
fury. Efforts were at once directed to
subduing the fire, but they were futile.
The blaze spread aft with avidity.
Captain Van Schaick, in the pilot
house, had been informed of the out.
break of the fire and realizing the dan.
ger to the hundreds of excursionists
decided to send the vessel to shore at
One Hundred and Thirty-fourth
street. At this point there are a num-
Der of lumber yards and several huge
Oil tanks and the captain was warned
that to attempt to land at this point
would endanger the property and per.
haps further imperil the scores of peo-
pie who had already been frightened
into a state of almost uncomfortable
excitement.
Changing the steamers course
slightly, he headed for North Brother
Island, half mile away, near the en-
trance to the Sound. By this time the
flames were rushing from the forward
part of the ship aft.
The great open decks, built for ex-
cursionists, with little obstruction
from bow to stern, offered a clear
sweep for the fire. AS the Slocum
dashed forward the flames caught
stanchion and cabin woodwork, eat
ing and tearing their way across the
vessel.
The race to North Brother Island
was horribly dramatic. 1t was made
while the flames, famed to fury by
the strong head wind, were consum-
ing hundreds of pc sons, cd and young.
The excursionists, but a few mo-
ments before in the enjoyment of an
ideal summers day on the water. were

CARRIED AWAY BY THE
CURRENT AND DROWNED

The point where the Slocum
beached was just off the Scarlet fever
ward on North Brother Island. The
patients, who had been outside watch
ing the approach of the burning steam
er, were ordered indoors and the ply
sicians on the island fastened to the
assistance of those who were coming
ashore through the shallow water.
Many of those who leaped from the
Slocum were carried away by the cur
rent, even after she was beached, and
were drowned.
The scene on North Brother Island,
as described by the rescuers, was a
pitiful one. Body after body was
washed ashore or brought in by boats
and added to the long row on the
beach. Fifty-three persons died there
while the doctors were<attending them
AS the bodies of the living and the
dead were taken out of the water,
those alive were taken to ships on the
island or sent across the river to hos
pitfalls In Manhattan. Ambulances
from almost all the hospitals in New
York city and every other sort of con-
veyanoe which could be found were
put into service.
For hours bodies of burned and
drowned persons drifted ashore on the
island and between One Hundred and
~hirtieth street and One Hundred and

Harvesting the Hov Co..

It Is a very desirable thing TO be
able 70 haul all the hay into the barn
the same day II Is cut. The worri-
ment and anxiety consequent upon
the liability of a storm before morn
ing are thus avoided, and experience
has taught that hay having no more
than three or four hours sun will
come out in the spring perfectly
sweet and in fine condition for the
cattle In adopting this plan It is
well TO keep the hay constantly
stirred with a tedder. There has lone
been a fear Of putting hay into the
barn that contains a noticeable
amount Of water, but 81 Il is proper-
ly packed by being evenly distributed
over the NOW, each forkful trodden
upon and the barn kept closed as
much as possible the result viii prob

Besides bad lamentations. there is

cream or milk having been exposed to
foul odors, which are absorbed and

milk does not absorb odors when

milk in that condition Is even more
