Though no human lives were lost in the fires Of
last season, the loss Of game resulting from them
was so extensive as to prove OF the serious
features Of the conha grafton. That young animals
deer and even birds should perish in such fires is
not surprising. but that fish in the mountain
streams should also die in large numbers as a
result OF them seems scarcely credible to those
unfamiliar with the conditions. yet such is the
case In one instance. several bushels of fish were

GERMS FEAR SCRUBWOMEN
COURTS IN SCRUBBED SCHOOLS
SHOW A MINIMUM-FANS ALSO
PUT THEM TO FLIGHT.

, DR.. j. Frank Corbett's report on the
efficiency of the various methods Of
removing bacteria from the atmos-
phere in sweeping was presented to
the board of education at it's meeting
this afternoon. This report is based
on a series of tests made in a period
of six weeks, in the eighteen rooms Of
the Emerson school.
i Many important facts are brought
out, but none quite SO important as
that scrubbing is almost essential for
the sanitary cleanliness of the school
rooms. This will not be good news for
some of the janitors but will be heart
lily approved by housewives OF the.
good old fashioned type, who, ,appre-
ciate the benefits Of frequent scrub
bfngs to floors. - As, (. $3.50
jG The main feature Of 'the report is
bactsra i5and lines the The dfefenf
rooms under the various methods Of
sweeping.
The first purpose was to show the
relative value Of the fan system of
ventilation in purifying the air in a
building. The result of the tests was a
highly satisfactory showing in favor
of the fans. Their use reduced the
average bacterial count in eighteen
rooms by over one-half. After the
dry sweeping of the school with fans
working and the windows closed the
Dactef1al count ranged from lO TO l5U
bacteria, the average being 60. With
the same method of sweeping, the
windows being open and the fans at
rest the count ranged from 40 to $50,
| the average for the whole building
being 1885, There is no occasion for
much argument in favor of the fans
with such figures before the board.
! The latter test Of dry sweeping was
| also used in comparisons with saw
| dust sweeping and Scrllbbing both be-
| ing undertaken with the windows open
| and the fans at rest. Outside 1t was
| dry and somewhat dusty. Under these
conditions the sweeping with sawdust
gave very poor results. The average
count for the building was 210.
| Scrubbing brought the figures down
| considerably, the average being: 80
| bacteria to the room. With the aid
of fans and closed windows the count
would doubtless have been reduced to
| minimum.
In all the tests it was noticed that
| rooms J and P stood remarkably high.
! Thus there were $50 bacteria found
in room after being dry swept and
$40 after being swept with sawdust
DR.. Corbett in seeking for an explana-
ton noticed that the joints between
! the boards in the floor were unusually
wide and concluded that the dust and
dirt holding numerous bacteria, was
4 held in these cracks, from whence
they were released in the air by the
constant shuffling and tramping OF
scores of feet. II.

THE TRoCADERos
They Please by Funny and Original
Production at the Dewey.

Somewhat more pretentious than the
average production at the. popular
Washington avenue playhouse Is the
Trocadero Burlesquers at the Dewey
theater this week. 1.-THE Misfit Fami-
ly," the one-aet. comedy with which
the curtain rises, is brim full of fun
that brings shouts of laughter from
the audience. The plot Of the skit is
clever and appears to be susceptible
Of enlargement. Frank Graham, the
rich New York uncle, who surprises
his, nephew by visiting him in San
Francisco, is an actor of no mean
ability and properly east could un-
doubtedly make hit with "a comic
opera company. 80
The other characters. in The Misfit
Family are good. William Conlon, as
Albert Baumont, the nephew, and
Tom Haverly as Leonard Cook, Ida
Walling as Mrs. Green and Anna Hill
as Miss Marietta, leading lady of a
grand opera company, all call for
praises in theirswork.
The entertainment introduces sew
eral good specialties and closes with
clever farce entitled 'Hiawatha."

man. Mrs. Alice l.. Vrooman Wood,

her recollections of him when he was
first making his plans for reforming
the world. She said:
when 1 first knew Mr.. Vrooman he
was young man Of about 10 or TO-,
He was tall and slender. good looking,
but not striking in appearance. He
was very nervous, in fact, he seldom
remained seated, but constantly paced
the floor. Even at that time he had
dreams Of reforming the world and
was receiving a good deal of notoriety
on the streets and by giving away
tracts which set forth his peculiar
views.
He came from an eccentric but tai
ented family. Many of his relatives
are Of note in the intellectual and
public world. Among them may be
mentioned Kate Burlington Davis,
who is at present in London. I be-
lieVe. If he could have had some one
of practical experience in life and yet
possessing a loyalty to the ideal, his
footsteps might have been SO guided

helped in bringing about a Utopia.
His ideas were largely founded on
those of William Morris, but. be did
not have an idea of the. value OF

only for the good of others. His ideal
was to help and not to, be helped. But

In a series of representative women in the forty-nine states and territories of the union now being published by the New York Globe and Commercial Ad- vertiser, beautiful picture of Miss Marjorie Catchlngs of Birmingham ap- pears third in the series.
 In referring to her claims as a beauty and a representative belle of Alabama, the Globe says:
 Miss Marjorie Catchings of Birmingham, Ala, a noted beauty of the far south, is typical daughter of Alabama. She is tall and slender, with dark brown hair, violet eyes and a complexion of pink and white, the shades of the Alabama magnolia. She possesses the grace of manner and softly modulated voice of the well-bred southern woman.
 It is not the nature of southern wom- en to take an active interest in vigorous outdoor sports but she is a master of the social arts of the drawing room To be eligible a leader in southern fash ionable circles it Is not necessary for the woman to talk in the vocabulary of golf Her social graces are inherited. Miss Catchings has, however. been called upon to be the sponsor of the annual games of the southern colleges. At the last great Thanksgiving football game between the Universities of Alabama and Tennessee, Miss Catchings was the sponsor for Ala bama and viewed the game from the box seat of q four-in-hand wearing the var sity colors. At the last Birmingham horse show Miss Catchings was the cen tral figure on the four-in-hand which won the first prize. the judges giving the ribbon to the favorite beauty of the show.
 Miss Catchings possesses marked abil- ity as an amateur actress and is also an accomplished artist. exceling in her work with water colors. While she is a typical woman of society. that is. goes to all the smartest events of the southern season, dances gracefully and dresses handsome ly, her personality is so attractive that she would be charming even without the conventional requirements of the woman born to the social foreground.
 Miss Catchings's home is at South Highlands, the fashionable residential section. of Birmingham. She made her so- cial debut three winters ago.

MRS. MATTHEWS ENTERTAINs.

One of the most brilliant card parties of the season was given yesterday after noon at the Hllman by that ever charm ing hostess Mrs. Harrison Stuart Matt hews in compliment .o ncr sister, Mrs. Edward Devereux Smith, whose recent marriage in San Francisco made appro- priate the beautiful California scenes used as score cards and the many other artistic details of the party
 The guests were received in the rose parlor, which was decorated with Ameri- can beauty roses The card tables were placed in the palm room and at it's en- trance punch was served from a table decorated in snowballs and large bows of wide green ribbon which, with the asparagus vine used the entire length of the table made a most decorative effect.
 The score cards were California scenes which had been visited by guest of honor, and the scores were kept by attaching to them exquisite little California beads which were distributed from California baskets
 At the close of the games a delicious luncheon was served, the meat course of soft shell crabs suggestive of a Califor- mia menu.
 The first prize, a California tea set of rare and exquisite design. was won by Mrs Louis B. Farley of Montgomery on a cut with several of the guests: the second prize, a sofa pillow embroidered in the brilliant Painsetta blossoms. was won by Mrs. J. D. Moore and the lone hand prize, a leather mat, it's elaborate Painsetta designs done in velvet. was won by Mrs. William P. Redd
 The consolation, which was drawn from California nuts, was drawn by Mrs. Robert Jemison. and was a placque in an exquisite design of burnt wood hand painted in oranges and orange blossoms The souvenir prize, gold souvenir spoon in a box decorated with orange blossoms, was won by Mrs. Bradley Saunders, her score card being the exterior of the Pal ace hotel. the scene of the wedding, de- ciding the winner of the souvenir spoon. Mrs. Saunders presented it to the guest of honor.
 Mrs. Matthews. who is one of the beau ties of southern society, wore most be- coming afternoon gown of brown silk. The skirt was finished with insettinGs lace and the waist was exquisite in hand work. it's medallions being most effective over the white silk beneath. The sleeves were finished with a deep frill of lace which extended the length of the tight fitting cuff.
