THE ONLY FIREPROOF
THEATER IN COUNTRY

Pittsburg, Pa. Jan. 27.-How many
theaters are safe from fire? Is the Iro-
quois disaster in Chicago forgotten?
Underwriters figure that three the
aters, three public nails, and twelve
churches are burned up in this coun.
try every week 1t is this problem
which Is causing fire insurance peo-
pie and architects to do some hard
thinking these days.
"a theater audience is like a crowd
of people sitting before a fire place
made of dry wood crammed with in
flammables, and with the chimney
top covered with a stone slab, says
John r. Freeman, president 0t the
Rhode Island Fire Insurance company,
and an expert on the theater fire haz-
ard. III a match should be applied
TO such fire place, you can imagine
what would happen"
A Pittsburg architect, who has made
a special study OF the subject supple
ments this alarming description by
the assertion that there are not more
than half a dozen safe theaters in
the United States. The safe theater
he describes as one in which the stage,
its surrounding walls, roof and curtain
form fire proof box, virtually inde-
pendent Of the auditorium. Thls is the
main consideration. The most import
ant feature of theater construction is
the means of exit.

cost nearly 500 lives. there were
10000 square yards of canvas, 5000
yards of gauze, 10 miles Of rope, and

burning OF the gauze alone would

have been made for this occasion, and
those who are in position to be well

that President Roosevelt will be the

EXTRAVAGANT, Selfish
SOCIAL LIFE in OUR CITIES

New York, Jan. 27.--"It is AN un-
happy truth that the whole tendency
OF social life In the big cities Of Amer.
lea is for the worse"
This Is the statement of the Rt. Rev.
David H. Greer, bishop coadjutor of
the Episcopal diocese Of southern New
YORK, In an Interview upon the wild
abandonment of extravaganza and the
pursuit OF pleasure that marked the
opening of the new year.
In New York alone, upwards of So.
100000 was spent in entertainments
In private mansions, in the fashionable
hotels and restaurants and in the the
aters during the twelve hours that
lapsed between 6 o'clock D. m. OF the
old year and the first dawn of the
new.
Bishop Greer for more than twenty
years was rector of st. Bartholomew
church. which holds the most fashion
able congregation in New York. He
devoted himself, with the aid OF the
Vanderbilts, to the foundation and up
building OF the now famous st. Bar
tholomew's mission.
Rlotous Expenditure.
Bishop Greer said
THE men and women of the cities
are drifting from the honest elemen-
tary principles, the simplicity and d.
rectness that have done so much to
promote the greatness of the country.
The spirit of the age is all towards
artificiality, display and riotous ex-
penditure.
Go into the Metropolitan opera
house on a star night, wander around
the restaurants of the fashionable ho-
tells, or any of the affairs in private
houses, and you will see a CHASTITY
spectacle Of reckless luxury-an illus
tration of the selfish selfindulgence,
of vanity, of the insolence born of
the possession of wealth, power, so
cial position, only comparable with
the courts of Louis XIV or Louis XIV,
in the fifty years that Immediately
preceded the French revolution.
There seems to be among these peo-
pie an utter indifference to the world
outside their own circle, to the suffer
ing amount the gaunt, famished
creatures of the slums.
Pernicious Example.
Does the blame for all these things
rest with the four hundred?" said
Bishop Greer, in answer to sugges-
tion. Certainly not, To pretend that
this collection of gayly plumaged birds
exercise any pernicious influence upon
the nation at large is to insult the
nation. But their pernicious exam
pie has inspired the other limited
classes in this metropolis to excesses
and similar habits of life.
