SIR HENRY IRVING NO MORE
Death Summoned the Noted ActoH
just After Performance at
Bradford England.

London, Oct. 14-The English
speaking world has suffered an irre-
parable loss by the sudden death Of Sir
Henry Irving, who was universally re-
garded as the most representative
English actor of contemporary times.
Sir Henry died literally in harness.
He was giving a series farewell per-
formances in the English provinces, and
this week was playing an engagement
at Bradford, appearing in several IA
vorite roles Thursday he presented
King Rene's Daughter" and "The
Bells, and seemed to .be in excellent
health, taking the exhaustng part of
Matthias in the latter play with all the
vigor of youth. Friday night, before
an enthusiastic audience, he portrayed
one Of his most Enthusiastically intel
iectual parts, the title role in his own
stage adaptation of Lord Tennysons
Beckett" with marked success.
After the performance Sir Henry re-
turned to the hotel, reaching his rooms
at 1880 o'clock, when it was observed
that he was in great pain Physicians
were Immediately summoned, but be-
fore they could arrive Sir Henry was
seized with an attack OF. syncope and
expired; without regaining conscious
ness.

A FRlGHTFUL ACCIDENT
Some Fatally, by Stampede at
Artillery Practice.

Junction City, Kas., Oct. 14.-Private
Albert Laste, of the Twenty-ninth bat
terry of field artillery, was killed dur
ing target practice near Fort Riley.
Privates John Connolly and G. J. Simp-
son, of the same battery, are thought to
be fatally injured, and Privates Leary.
Norman, Lancaster and Cline, of the
same organization, are in the hospital
with broken limbs and internal i'm
iuries. A large number of other artil-
lerymen were badly hurt.
The Twenty-ninth battery is one Of
the six making up the first provisional
regiment of field artillery at target
practice. The battery's guns had been
placed, and its eight limbers, loaded
with ammunition, each with six horses
attached, were at the rear, with the
drivers dismounted. When the battery
was ready for firing a large red flag
was run UP On staff as a signal to the
range party at the targets to get out
out Of range of the guns.
The wind blew the flag out in the
faces of the horses and they stampeded
at once. Some drivers succeeded in
getting into their saddles, others were
dragged. but the most of the drivers
were left behind. The horses dashed
over small cliff and went down in a
frightful mass with their riders.

CONCERNING CHURCHES.

Women without hats are not to be
admitted hereafter to Canterbury
cathedral in England.
Pope Plus x. has sent the papal bene-
diction to the members of st. Liborius
church choir, St. Louis, in recognition OF
their consistent and sustained observ-
ance of the regulations regarding church
music.
AS memorial to the late Jay Cooke,
one Of the founders and rector's warden
of ST. PauIs Protestant Episcopal church
of AshbouEne, Pa memorial hall will
be built there. The plans for the build
Ing, which will cost $4,000, have been
accepted. The funds will be provided by
Mr.. Cookies children.
Twenty-Five years ago, says religious
worker, the ruling idea of the church
was that children should be seen and
not heard. The result was that few were
seen and none heard. The growth OF
young peoples societies in the churches
in the last quarter-century means that
the truth is realized that the young are
the most efficient builders of the King
dom Of Heaven on earth.
DR.. Adolf Fritzen, bishop of Stras-
burg, has again issued an edict forbid
ding priests within his diocese to use
bicycles. He is sharply criticised there
for by the newspapers, which call at
tention to the fact that bicycling ceased
long ago to be mere secular sport, and
that priests often find the wheel most
useful, especially those who have to
visit members of their congregation in
remote country places.
Notwithstanding the French people are
demanding the separation of church and
state, the Roman Catholics of France
have given more to the worldwide
propagation of their faith than all other
countries combined. Out of total OF
$1,352,017.07 given for that cause last
year France contributed $7O1, ,OO8.64,
while American Roman Catholics gave
only $156,94292, about one-eighteenth
as much as was given to missions by the
Methodist Episcopal church alone,

CONDITIONS UNFAVORABL E
of the nliOins River to ST. Louis
is Not Feasible.

Washington. Oct. 16.-The report
of the board of army engineers which
made survey of the Illinois and Mis-
sissippi rivers to establish whether a
14-foot channel can be created from
Chicago to ST. Louis has been COM
pleted and is now in the hands of Gen.
Mackenzie, chief of engineers and
member of the general staff. AS the
report is in response to bill passed
by congress, it will be kept secret un-
Ill it is transmitted to that body.
In spite of official reticence, there
is reason to state that the report is
most discouraging to those who are
in favor of deep waterway and who
secured the legislation for the 14-foot
channel survey. The engineers assert
that the initial cost will be between
$S,000,000 and $10,000,000 Most dis
couraging of all is their suggestion
that a 14-foot channel from the mouth
of the Illinois river to st. Louis can
only be secured effectively through
the construction of canal paralleling
the river. The engineers have delib-
erately reached the conclusion that the
Mississippi river, with its shifting bars
and the conditions which now exist
in 1t, is absolutely impossible of per-
manent improvement to a 14-foot chan
mel in that stretch from the mouth of
the Illinois river to st Louis.
While this report may not forever
bar deep waterway project being
taken up by the government, there is
little question that the effect of the
report will be to prevent any legisIa-
ton by congress along that direction
for some years to come.

MISSOURI SEEMS
TO Be HOODOOED
The States Building AT tbs Port
land Exposition Burned.
VALUABLE CONTENTS RUINED
The Beautiful Collection of Art and
gtatuary, One of the Features
of Missouri's Display, Al
most u Complete Loss.

Portland, Ore, Oct. 1.-THE Missouri
state building at the Lewis and Clark
exposition was completely destroyed by
Gre Friday night Practically nothing
Of the magnificent exhibit gathered by
the Missouri state commission was
saved, and the beautiful collection OF
art and statuary, which was one OF the
features of the Missouri display, will
prove almost a complete loss. It is
estimated that the pecuniary loss will
sxceed $4,000, with no insurance save
S., 900 on the art exhibit.
All that remained standing when the
fire was gotten under control was the
colonnade entrance, surmounted by
half dozen angelical figures which stood
out speetrelike against the gloom OF the
night.
The flames were first seen by youth
who was walking near the building.
He Immediately turned in the tre
alarm, which summoned the exposition
and city fire departments to the scene
The secret service agents are working
on the theory that the fire was OF IN
cendiary origin, and that it started
among collection of packing cases
stored Just beyond the building await
ing the period Of dismantling OF the
Missouri exhibit.
Superintendent of the Building Ed
ward Crumbaugh, of Columbia, MO-,
the only person within the structure at
the time of the fire, has another and
mere probable theory. He is OF the
opinion that the fire had its origin in
the same faulty electrical construction
which has been the cause Of the several
incipient blazes which have occurred IN
the different buildings during the falr.
Three quarters of an hour after the
first alarm was sounded the Missouri
building was in ruins. That the flames
did not spread to some of the adjoining
buildings was due to the almost COM
plete absence of wind and to the mar
velous work of the firemen, who fought
the fire desperately to save adjacent ex-
hibit palaces.
The only casualty was the serious
injury to an electrician named Harry
Jones, who in the early stages of the
fire mounted to the roof to cut the cleo
trio wires, and who fell to the main
floor of the building.
