CHICAGO'S HOLOCAUST.
Nearly 600 People Lose their
Lives in Theatre Fire.

FIVE hundred and eighty eight per-
sons were killed in ten minutes We'd
nesday afternoon, Dec. 30, during IL
fire in the new fire proof" Iroquois
theatre in Chicago.
A few of these people were burned
by fire, many We're sutfOcated by gas,
but the great majority were train
pied to death III the pan that fol-
lowed the mad plunge of the fright
ened audiance for the exits
The fire was caused by the break
ing and grounding of an electric
wire, the fire to spreading rap
idly to the front of the stage. The
asbestos drop curtain would not
work, becoming fast when only part
way down. This caused draft and
the fire spread rapidly to the audi
ance burning tapestries and every
thing of an intiammable nature.
AS soon as the flames appeared in
the main body of the house some
man in the rear yelled Fire Fire!'
and the entire audiance rose as one
person and made for the doors.
The theater is modelled after the
Opera Comique in Paris, and from
the rear of each balcony there are
three doors leading out to passage-
ways toward the front of the theater.
Two of these doOrways are at the
end of the balcony, and one i'll the
center. The audience in its rush for
the outer air seems to have for the
greater part, chosen to flee to the
left entrance and to attempt to make
its way down the eastern stairway

GOINGS ON IN FLORIDA.

Rev. DIR. f. Lyman Hood, of Long
Island, has been installed as pastor
of the Union Congregational church,
Jacksonville.
Jacksonville proposes to still fur
ther test the practicability of mu-
nicipal ownership of public utilities
by purchasing the trOlly lines of the
city now owned by the Jacksonville
electric company. The city now
owns it's electric lighting plant.
D. Webb and wife, a young couple
from Moultrie, Ga, blew out the gas
on retiring at the Manhattan hotel,
Pensacola, New Years night. The
bell boy discovered their plight be-
fore death ensued. But the doctors
had a hard time in pulling them
through. The couple had been ex-
elusive patrons Of the Standard oil
monopoly and were unacquainted
with gas.
The Jacksonville Metropolis has
started the New Year by securing
the ripps-McRae telegraphic news
service which will make that enter
prIsing paper even more newsy and
valuable. The Scripps-M McRae COM
pany is probably the best national
newsgatherer in the country and is
especially valuable for afternoon
papers. The Metropolis is to be
congratulated.
Mrs. G. w. Taylor of Pine Bluff,
near Pensacola, was burned to death
in terrible manner New Years day.
She was sitting in a room with the
corpse of her sister, who had died
during the afternoon, when her dress
caught fire. She did not realize this
until she was almost envelOped in
flames. She screamed, and this
brought her assistance, but before
the flames could be smothered she
was fatally burned, and died this
morning.
Fred M. Van Deman, brilliant
young lawyer and one of the most
popular young men in Jacksonville,
accidentally met his death Sunday
while duck hunting near Mulberry
Grove. Mr.. Van Deman was crawl
ing through a marsh dragging his
Winchester shot gun behind him
when, in some manner, the gun was
discharged and the entire load of
duckshot was driven into his right
side, making a horrible wound,
which caused his death in a few
moments. .-Times-U Union.

Two Mormon elders spent u night
and q day in town last week and then
drited out into the wilderness of
woods that lie to the south. They
should have stayed longer. Crescent
City and,its envirOns have in times
past proved a fruitful field of con-
quest for this sect. But because of
neglect many of their former con-
verts have gone back to the 'devil''
and are now becoming useful citi-
zens, tolerably well satisfied to adopt
Bill Nye's motto of Zone country,
one flag and one wife" The strange
thing about this Mormon religion is
the influence it seems to obtain over
tho women. The church does not
stand for but a fraction of husband
for the women. Is it possible that in
this fact lies its special attraction for
the sisters?
DR.. Merritt Corthell, oculist, late
of New York City, but who has come
to Florida with the view of making
his home at Interlachen, has made
arrangements to visit Cresc ent City
during the first week in each month.
His first visit will be at Grove Hall
next Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day, Jan. 14th 10Th and 10Th. Dr.
Corthell is an experienced oculist
and for more than twenty years has
made a special study of muscle in
sufIicency, and has been especially
successful in strengthening cross-eyes
and correcting such errors of refrac.
tion as cause headache and other
physical ills. His examinations will
be free and when glasses are ordered
satisfaction will be guaranteed. DR..
Corthell is n son of Hon. ID. NJ. Cor
thell, Mayor of Interlaehen, and who
is one of the old citizens of that pretty
lake town.

An Andean Notion About Soroehe.
On one occasion. crossing the Ia.
cora Pass. abreast of Tacna, Peru, l
was severely attacked by mountain
sickness at an elevation of only about
1000 feet above sea level. 1t com
pletely prostrated me, but my Indian
arriero told me that "the spot was
famous for soroche," the name by
which mountain sickness is known to
all the Aymara and Quichna people
of the Andrean range, land that If /
would continue my journey up the
Cordhlera it would leave me-"
The following morning l was lifted
into my saddle and continued the as
cent of the pass, and within two hours
was nearly well again, and before /
reached the summit of the pass
about 1880 feet altitude, the soro-
che had entirely left me.
The Indians among the Andes have
frequently told me that 'sorocDs is
not the effect Of altitude, but" as
they put it, 'of mineral veins" Ii
may be that the geologicaI and atmos
pheric conditions of certain localities
are to some extent the cause Of it. in
addition to altitude, the former being
perhaps the principal factors, al
though imperfect digestion and consti
patton invite it,

King Cobra i; shs Most Dangerous Of

King Cobra is the Most Dangerous Of
All Snakes,
Snakes-venomous snakes-may be
divided into two classes. the cobras
and the viperoids The cobras, inhabi-
tants Of distant India, form a class
apart To the viperolds belong all
other venOmous species, including our
own splendid rattler, the moccasin. the
fer de lance Of the West Indies and
tho deadly bushmaster Of Venezuela
and the Guianas
Diametrically opposite, though
equally fatal, are the effects of the
cobra and the viperoid poison. Dia-
metrically opposite, also, are the two
methods of attack. The cobra at times
is aggressive. the king cobra being
said even to pursue man silent, with
out the least warming, and from a
place where you would least suspect.
the round head darts out Of a thicket
a sharp pain causes you 70 exclaim,
and the frightful fangs Of the snake
are buried in your flesh. Like the grip
of bulldog they hold fast while from
five to ten feet of animated cable
come stretching out Of the thicket to
coil leisurely beneath the dread head.
Fer this eternal hold on the victim
there is a natural reason. The fangs
Of the ten-foot cobra are but a third
Of an inch long. It is impossible, there
fore, to squirt the venom deep IN 6
single stroke. In order to give the
venom time to absorb the snake must
retain Its hold. The fatal poison con-
tains about % per cent. of nerve-de-
stroying and about 3 per cent. of
blood-destroying elements. Within five
minutes the pain leaves the wound
and even the shock of the attack be-
gins to wear on There is little suf-
fering, nor will there be to the re-
lentless end Only If by chance the
bite is one from a small snake or If a
fresh supply of antitoxin happens to
| be at hand is there reliance for your
life If one RECEIVERS from the imme
| diate effects within a week one Is as
healthy as ever. While the poison oi
the cobra often kills within an hour
there have been cases where the
"strike" of a rattlesnake and a bush
master have caused death within ter
minutes. Naturalists accept, however
that the king cobra, owing to its greaf
size and the consequent quantity anC
quality Of poison emitted, is the mos
dangerous of all the snakes.-Mc
