DEATH IN FIRE EASY
Denmark Physician Says VIC
Tins Are Taken Unaware.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Dr. Oscar Block,
surgeon of one of the largest hospitals in
Copenhagen, has given, in book entitled
Death description of death by as
phyxiation in a theater fire. He asserts
that it is painless to the victims. In the
chapter devoted to theater fires, he says:
1T is with an almost incredible velocity
that such fires will start and spread. 1t is
surprising how frequent are theater fires.
Some statistics show that the average life
of European theater is twenty-five and
half years. and only ten for theaters in
America. From 1857 to 1885 no less than
730 theaters were burned and 6573 peo-
pie perished. Sometimes the number of
lives lost is appalling. In st. Petersburg
it was 300 and in Canton 1870

ing similarity to the Iroquois fire. He

audience-said that nothing was the mat

where the infiammable material, in great
masses was ablaze. The silent explosion
had already taken place. A sea of flames
came out from the curtain and he had
barely time to escape. The orchestra had

the flames steamed from under the cur
tin.
After the fire sixty y-eight bodies We're
discovered. 1t was evident the victims
had perished in different ways. In one
little room with buffet twenty-one wom-
en- and five men were found. They were
black from smoke, but no signs of actual
burns were visible. Their clothes and their
hair were intact. Not lace was damag-
ed. their shoes were smooth, their gloves
only We're cracked, the last mentioned fact
serving to determine the temperature. 1t
was found where the victims had bought
their shoes and gloves and experiments
were made to ascertain the degree of
temperature those objects would stand.
1t was found that the twenty seven per-
sons had been exposed to a temperature
of 100 to 120 degrees Celcius. By an exam

of poisoning by carbon monoxide were
death was rapid and painless. The posi-
tions of some indicate that they were
surprised by DEATH
Even in the case of a number that had
perished in the boxes and whose bodies
were terribly burned, an investigation de-
yeloped that the victims had been sur
priSed by DEATH" and had not suffered
/. Dr.. Black concludes:
ITO give an idea of the temperature un-
der such a catastrophe: AT the moment
the fire had broken out in the upper part
of the stage the temperature had reached
1000 degrees. One hour after the start
fwhen the lack of oxygen caused smoke
without flames, blue fire balls were seen
From these facts We know that the tenn

FOILEO BY PHONE
Mysterious Enemy Uses 1t to
BaIk Thawing of a Main.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-The police OF
the High Bridge station have been
trying for week to find out the author
of the many mysterious telephone calls
which have been sent to that station
concerning the efforts of Mrs. r. L.
Bethel, of Ogden avenue and One
Hundred and Sixty-sixth street, to
make repairs to her water main.
The family occupies a handsome old
fashioned house on the crest of the
hill, and for two weeks it has been
without water, owing to the freezing Of
the mains. Mrs. Bethel sent for q
plumber, who searched for the frozen
spot and removed two of the cobble-
stones in the street. The telephone bell
in the police station rang and some
one, who refused to give his name, de-
manded that the police interfere.
AS no permit had been obtained, the
work was stopped. Next day another
attempt was made, but again the tele-
phone rang and again the police step
ped in. Next day a steam boiler was
brought into requiSition, but again the
work was stopped. Finally Mr.. Bethel,
who is a civil engineer. applied for a
permit, and now the work is going On.
1T is jealousy" said Mrs. Bethel yes
terday. we nave nicer mouse around
here than some Of the others, and they
envy us. They-whoever they are
have been trying to annoy us all along.
First they tried to cut down our trees
at the side of the house. but we drove
them off. Every time we build a dog
house in the yard, paint the barn, ap-
ply weather strips to the doors or do
anything that seems to be new, COM
plant is sent by some mysterious per-
son to one Of the city departments, and
we are then subjected to visit from
an official inspector. We have had half
a dozen inspectors here in a year or
less. 1 have my suspicion as to who
they are. They have not attempted to
annoy the children"
There was some talk in the neigh
borhood that the annoyance was the
result of trouble in one of the churches
of High Bridge. Mrs. Bethel says the
person she suspects does not belong to
the Union Reformed church, which she
attends.

ONE COMMON HEN
SELLS FOR $500
How a Poor Little Iowa Girl
Starts a Fund to Complete
a Hospital.

WATERLOO. Iowa. Jan. 23-An Iowa
hen has been sold for $500 and bids fair
to bring several times that amount be-
fore it is finally disposed Of
Nearly year ago the Iowa Presby-
terian synod voted to locate a, hospital
at Waterloo. Lately it was discovered
that canvass of the public was neces-
sary in order to obtain funds needed
to complete the building
After the canvass had started little
Maud Ballou, an orphan girl, nine years
of age. and living with an uncle
thought that she might do something to
aid the movement. Her relatives are
poor, her foster mother being forced to
take in washing to supply the daily nee
essaries, while her uncle is slowly dying
of consumption.
Begins Her Canvass.
This chit of a girl canvassed her re-
sources to discover what she could give
She had few of the joys which come to
most children. She had few If any toys
to aid In making her life more happy,
Dut she possessed young hen which
she had nourished and raised from the
egg. and which she kept as a house pet
After much thought the decision was
IedcHeu lndC lnlS nen must De SaCrl-
feed. The girl consulted her foster
mother. The latter could do but little,
but from her hard-earned stipend she
gave the child twenty-five cents for the
hen, and the twenty-five cents was car
ried to the headquarters of the w. G. Il.
U. and given to that association to be
made part of $500 which 1t had
pledged.
Hearing of the work of the little girl,
local merchant visited her. home and
re-bought the hen, paying for it IS.
Then 1t was sold and re-sold, time and
again. The local lodge of Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen gave S25 for 1t;
other lodges followed suit, and sums OF
$40, SIS and $25 kept pouring in.
One Sunday the pastor of the Pres
byterian church had the hen placed on
his pulpit during the services, and
preached a strong sermon on the good
deed of the little girl. and after the
sermon the church congregation bought
the hen from it's last owners. paying
more than $50, which was raised by
collection.
The mite given by the child is still
growing, and the belief is that it will
reach fully $500 in a short time.
An Eastern commission house which
has heard portion of the story, has
made an offer for the hen which it is
understood, if sold at the figure offered,
will be exhibited as the highest priced
bit of poultry ever sold in the world.

FIRST He WAS TOO THIN,
AND THEN TOO FAT
Why Davy Jones Told Uncle Sans
Navy to Go to Thunder.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. %
"Davy" Jones came to the attention of
Miss Helen Foss, assistant secretary of
the Society for Organizing Charity,
several months ago. He was anxious to
become a sailor or a marine, and Davy
was encouraged to enlist at League
island.
He fell eight pounds short of the re-
quired weight and the surgeon said it
was because the boy had never been
properly nourished. Miss Foss got work
for him in a department store and en-
gagged board for him.
At the end of two months he had ten
pounds and $40 to his credit, and once
more sought League island.
To his dismay he learned from the
surgeons that the ed-draught feed
ing had coated his internal organs with
fat and given him the semblanee of
fatty degeneration of the heart.
You'll be all right eventually" said
the doctor, but we can't take you
now
"Then the navy can go to thunder"
said Davy testify; 81 didn't mind feedin'
fer ye, but I'll be darned if I'll starve
fer ye."
With his SO Davy has gone to New
York to make his fortune.

MAKES LOVE TO HIS
HORSE ON THE STREET

: CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 23.-The spec
tacle of man making love to horse was
seen on the Superior street viaduct this
afternoon. 4
Incidentally traffic was tied up for near
ly half an hour and the horse lover was
and teamsters. Michael Jerofsky, a ped
dler, acquired a Sag" and while driving
over the viaduct was overcome with a
feeling of love for his horse. Jerofsky
got down from the seat of the wagon and
Embarrassed the horse right in the middle
of the car tracks.
Then Michael put his arms around the
horses neck and called the beast all sorts
of endearing names. He even kissed the
animal and wept. Patrolman Hyman hap
pened along and arrested him.
