koURNs IROQUoIS VICTIMS.
.hica,'o Grieves for Theater Dead on
Anniversary of Disaster.


Anniversary of Disaster.
The memory Of the Jroquois theater
FIRE laid its shadow on Chicago Friday,
that being the first anniversary of the
disaster. In Willard Hall gathered rela-
tlVes OF victims, members of the IrOQuo1s
Memorial Association, which proposes to
erect an emergency hospital, and surviv-
ors of the fire and panic itself. There
were men whose hair has withered in
the last twelve months of suffering;
women in whose faces burrows were i'm
planted by the horror of a year ago;
children on whom the loss of brother or
sister had laid 4 lifelong sadness.
Fire III the Iroquois theater. in which,
according to the coroner's records, SO
persons were killed. broke out at 1913
p. II. Dec. so, 1903. The holiday audi
ence was composed chiefly of women and
children. In the latter part of the sec
ond act, as the octet of the Mr.. Blue
beard company was singing In the
Pale Moonlight" part of the hanging
scenery caught fire, supposedly from an
unprotected light. With the opening of
stage door to permit the actors to es-
cape tremendous draft poured into the
theater. 1t carried with it into the face
OF the audience a vast sheet of flame.
The asbestos curtain was started down
but stuck on the spot light" Then be
gan the panic. The audience rose to its
feet and started to rush out. The upper
exits were chOkcd with the bodies Of
victims. Many of the exits
were found closed and bolted Nearly
all the people on the main floor managed
to force their way out. About seventy
tive on this floor lost their lives OF
those on the first balcony about 200 per
lshed and of those who were in the gal
lery about 800 were killed. Most of
these victims were supposed to have died
from suifocation. Several Of the doors
in the foyer were found locked

VERMONT WOMAN TO HANG.
Legislature of the State Refuses Mercy
to Mrs. Mary Roptrs

TO Nrs. Mary Rogers.
No one can see Mrs. Mary Rogers. the
| Vermont woman, condemned to death by
! hanging Feb. 3. She is in her solitary
cell in the State prison at Windsor and
has been since Nov. 1. Mrs Rogers has
Lot suffered mentally to such degree tina t
1t has undermined her health or aged her
looks. On the contrary, from the freely
expressed opinions of the members CT the
Legislative Committee which journeyed
from Montpelier to Windsor to make the
biennial inspection Of the institution. she
is doing little worrying.
The members saw her on their rounds
of the prison, and the remark made by
one of them later on that she Cooked
hne' was concurred in by the others.
Other information trickling out from the
guards who have had charge of her de-
notes that her mental attitude toward
enc terrible nature of her crime or her
present situation is of light-minded ma
ture.
she expects that the Governor will
order stay of proceedings, which will
throw the onus of her execution upon
another Legislature, two years hence,
when her chances are again good for hay-
ing her sentence committed to life i'm
prisOnment
She does not fret under the prison dis
clpllne, and indeed, now she is in soli
tary confinement, the hours of rising and
compulsory work are not as rigid as
when she formed in line and went forth
to daily labor about the institution. The
matron gives her such occupation as can
be taken up in her CELL and sees to her
meals and other requirements. She can
see any of the town clergymen she
chooses, but up to now Chaplain Fuller
OF the prison has been her spiritual
adviser.
The gallows to be used is the same
used twenty-five years ago. when the
last murderer to be hanged in the State
was dealt with. The machine was then
taken to pieces and put away. 1t is not
because there has been no murder done
IN Vermont for twenty-five years thar
t has not been used. Murders have been
rather frequent, bat the power Of the
Legislature to commute sentence or to
approve Of sending to the asylum for the
insane has been worked to the utmost.

Toxic Opinion on His Blowing Up Q
Russian ShiDs.

In Toxic Gen. StOesscl is being sharp
ly criticised for destroying the Russian
warships, attempting to choke the en-
trance to the harbor of Port Arthur and
dispatching the torpedo boat destroyers
to Chefoo, subsequently to his offer to
surrender the fortress. The Nich Nich
says that while Gen. Stoessel made
gallant defense, his action in blowing
up the ships after lie had offered to sur
render leaves a lasting blemish upon his
military reputation. His action indicates
a want Of sincerity and leaves no room
for an extension of treatment of him
commensurate with the reputation won
by the bravery and gallantry of his de-

People Cheer and Burn Red Fire Over
Port ArtIIur's Fall.

Toxic is wildly joyous over the surron-
der of Port Arthur. NewSh"ys crying
extras were the messengers who carried
tho news to the holiday crowds in the
streets. Crowds grabbed the papers and
repeated the cries. Thus was the news
carried throughout the city and within Il
few minutes the firing Of aerial bombs
and daylight rockets began in all parts
of the city. Bands appeared and score
of small professions formed and surged
through the principal streets. Monday
night the celebration was continued with
the burning of much red fire. Japan has

Nogi's officers report the fortress and

with debris, are the decaying carcasses
of ANNALS. Many of them show how

by hunger to live during the last days of

stsrilized Vegetables.


Some New York capitalists and a
Pittseld MASS man, says the Spring
field Republican, are experimenting in
sterilizing vegetables for market The
discovery was made lately that hot-air
sterilization will preserve vegetables
indefinitely without injuring their
structural parts. Corn, peas, string
beans, lima beans and other garden
produce treated by the new process
will take on a withered form much
like cured hay, but when put in cold
water will resume their shape and re-
tain their former brlttleness and gar
den flavor, Cabbage, potatoes. tur-
nips, beets. celery and other produce
granuiated, treated by sterilization.
have the same freshness and taste as
when gathered In gardens by their re-
production in water, after months OF
preservation after sterilization. Eggs
can be sterilized. but Of course DO not
take their form as when broken from
the she'll but are valuable for cooking
purposes The men Interested in this
discovery say that sterilization OF
vegetables reduces their bulk, makes
the charges for handling and trans
portation but small item. and that
the value OF the discovery lies in being
able to serve fresh vegetables al
places long distance from truck
farms and gardens at any time OF the
year
