the room and ran against q kerosene lamp,
overturning 1t and causing it to explode.
The girls shirt waists were lying on q

tinguish the flames. In their efforts their
night clothes took FIRE and they were badly
burned about their faces and bodies. They
screamed for help and a to a window

SUSPICION or FROST.
Weather Bureau Won't Commit Itself. but
suggests the Probability.

In a cautious, semi-prophetic special
bulletin the Weather Bureau chief at WASH
ington sent out Yesterday there is Il hint
Of the coming Of frost some time tonight
or early tomorrow morning, II IL not one
of those bulletins IN which the bureau
might stake its official reputation. 1t Is
more in the nature Of a modest observa-
ton and runs:
Conditions favorable for a light frost
In exposed places in New York city and
vicinity"
1t was certainly very much cooler yester-
day than it was the day before. The proph-
cts did predict that. From u maximum of
SO degrees on Saturday afternoon the tenn
peratura took the rather lofty tumble Of
8. degrees, making folks returning from
Coney Island early yesterday morning pull
down tho curtains Of the open cars. Flan-
nels were comfortable, and even light over
coats we're not Il burden yesterday. The
wind was from the north and was light,
Perhaps 1t may drag down a suggestion OF
frost. And IL IL doesn't nobody can say
that the Washington prophet said it would
He merely remarked that the conditions
were favorable"

."D0PE" IN "C4TARRH CURES"
wOman's Death Reveals Means by which
Drug Craving Is Satisfied.

PHILADELPHIA. May 20.-Following the
investigation which he made Of the circum-
stances surrounding the death Of Angelina
Carr, 81 years old. on Saturday, Coroner
Jermon. has decided to wage a crusade
against The drug stores which sell concoc-
tions Of morphine, cocaine and other dope
which masquerade as catarrh cures. The
young woman died Of cocaine poisoning Ms
a result of taking one of those cures" for
several months.
Hundreds Of dope fiends in this city have
no difficulty in obtaining the poisonous
tugs they use, not in the raw state. but
in the form of those catarrh cures which
are really put up for sale to the dope fiends,
Many innocent persons. believing the
preparations to be genuine catarrh cures,
buy trial bottles and then drift into the
drug habit.
, According to Mrs. Della Fasin, that was
how her sister, Angelina Carr, became
addicted to the habit. She had kept her
sister and the other members Of her family
In complete ignorance OF the fact that
she was a slave to drugs. For some months
past the young has shown symptoms
OF the evil habit, but her family never sus-
pected the cause. Ten days ago she became
in and a few days before she died she con-
fessed to her sister.
