MANY CHILDREN IN PERIL
Destruction of the Loretta Semi
nary at Webster Groves, Mo.
fifty Girl Students and Ten Sisters
by Observing the Fire Drill,
Escape Injury.

st. Louis, Feb. 10.-Loretta seminary
At Webster Groves, a suburb OF 81.
Louis, was completely destroyed by hre
which broke out in the institution
| shortly before one o'clock Thursday
afternoon.
There were so students, all girls, n
zen sisters in the building when the
DANES were discovered, but the cool
ness of the sisters in charge OF the
institution and the perfection or the
fire drill enabled all of them to get out
in safety.
The fire started in n of the rooms
on the third floor and is supposed TO
have been caused from Goals falling
from a stove.
There was some excitement when the
fire was first discovered, but no panic.
The inadequacy of fre-fighting APP
%pliances, coupled with the fact that a
brisk wind was blowing, made it i'm
possible to ave the building, which,
being of frame, offered good fuel for
the flames, which spread rapidly owe
the third floor and then burned down
ward.
Part of the more valuable furnish
ingS in the lower part of the building
were carried out, but the greater part
of the contents were destroyed.
The seminary building was known as
the Webster place. 1t was built by
ID. F. Webster as a residence, and was
afterwards converted to the needs of
a seminary.
The sisters and pupils will be shell
tered temporarily at the residence of
Rev. Father Kane, acros the street
from the destroyed seminary.

The United States government al
lows $4,000 a year to losses in
volved in coming gold money. There
is always a certain percentage OF vast
age in the process of turning out gold
coins. But during the year just ended
the losses aggregated more than $780,
900, due to the fact that the coinage
was heavier than for many years pre-

as well as the gloves worn by employees

speed with which the present 1000

from Cape Colony to the Zambesi, and
the determination with which the road
is now being extended from Victoria
