A Hotel for Women.
rom the New York Post.

From the New York Post.
Trowmart Inn, a hotel which Is to DO
for women practically what the Mills
hotels are for men, was opened on Au-
gust by W. r. H. Martin. 1t is a big six
story building, occupying the block front
on the south side of 18TH street, between
Greenwich and Hudson street, opposite
Abingdon Square.
The hotel is exclusively for young women
from fifteen to thirty-hve years of age.
earning their own living, and making not
more than SIS week. Any woman may.
however, obtain a nights lodging, certain
number of rooms being reserved for tram
sients. The weekly cost will be $3.50 to -,
including breakfast and dinner. On Sun
days and holidays a lunch will be served
for Is cents. The dining room will seat 20
persons.
A sewing room, with sewing machines.
cutting tables, stoves and pressing irons,
and a laundry, with a steam-heated drying
room, will be open day and night. There
are also a library, a large parlor, and half
a dozen small parlors, where, the prospec-
tus suggests, your men and women
friends can be with you when they choose
and you choose" Part of the building was
burned out about month ago, which
caused the opening to be postponed from
July 1 to August 1. The hotel, while not
a charity, as 1t is intended to pay its own
maintenance, will be turned over by Mr..
Martin to board Of trustees as soon as IL
is in good running order.

Bacon.
From the Indiana Farmer.

Prof. Snyder of the Minnesota station
gives US. in the following, why bacon has
become so popular. In a reference to tests
made he says 1t was cut in thin slices and
baked or broiled in the oven until crisp and
brown. All the fat which was cooked out
was saved and eaten with the bread and
other foods which made up the daily fare.
On an average about 80 per cent of the
protein and SO per cent Of the fat Of the
ration containing bacon were digested and
about SO per cent of the energy was avail
able. Calculated values for bacon alone
showed over 80 per cent protein and SO per
cent digestible fat, figures which compare
favorabIy with those which have been OBJ
tanned for other animal foods.
Allowing per cent for waste, pound of
bacon will contain from OIL to 0.3 pound d.
gestible protein and from 0.4 to 0.6 pound
digestible fat. which is about two-thirds as
much as is found in butter.
Lean bacon contains as much protein
and about twice as much digestible fat as
other meats" says Prof. Snyder, making
1t at the same time and even at higher
price per pound a cheaper food than other
meats Bacon fat Is easily digested, and
when combined with other foods 1t appears
to exert favorable mechanical action upon
digestion"

In Too Much Of q Hurry.
From the Boston Herald.

An Illinois parson believes in the efficacy
Of speed rather than prayer. He advocates
the madness of it and says the world
doesn't go half fast enough for him and
that too many preachers think they are still
in the middle ages, while the fact is Provi-
dence has sent the means of doing more in
one year than our grandfathers could &C
complish in ten. All of which may be quite
true. Yet grandfather was a much happier
man and more agreeable to his fellow
creatures for not being in such a hurry.
With rapid living comes discomfort, rest
lessness, hat is very upsetting to unfortu-
mates who must stick to their last and
thereby accomplish certain amount Of la
Dor in order to live at all.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2O.- Mayor Schmitz issued the following proclamation today:
 ITO the citizens of San Francisco: The fire is now under control and all danger is passed. The only fear is that other fires may start should peo- pie build fires in their stoves, and therefore warn all citizens not to tuild fires in their homes until the ctimneys have been inspected and re- Iaired nroperly. All citizens are urged to discountenance the building or fires.
 T congratulate the citizens of San Francisco upon the fortitude they have displayed, and I urge upon them the necessity of aiding the authori- ties in the work of relieving the des- tituLe and suffering. For the relief of those persons who are encamped in the various sections of the city, every thing possible is being done. In Col den Gate Park, where there are ap- pIoximately 100000 homeless persons, relief stations have been established.

ID JOIN HANDS Rev. Muerer Accepts Invitation to Take Part in Memorial
 Exercises.
REV. FRYE SUGGESTS
 HE BE INVITED.
Chairman AcNair Will Appoint Committee to Take Charge of Outside Exercises for the Chamber of Commerce.

Acting upon a suggestion that was made yesterday by Rev. Frye of the Presbyterian church, w. P. McNair, chairman of the Chamber of Com merce, yesterday extended an invita- tion to Rev. Father Muerer of St. Patrick's Catholic church, to take part in the Memorial-day exercises in this city
 When the matter was mentioned 10 Rev. Muerer he promptly accepted the invitation and stated thaJ nothing would give him more pleasure than to join with the other ministers or the city in showing their respect to the dead.
 Chairman McNair has taken charge of the Memorial services, as the re- suit of suggestion of Rev Harvey N. Shields, who attended a meeting of the chamber this week, and sug- gested that committee be appoint ed to act as the managers of any ex- ercises that may be held. Mir. McNair approached Rev. Frye on the matter of the ministers of the city taking charge of the inside ser ] vices, those at the graveyard and 1 aii lO De lSIL lO the committee that McNair will ap- point later.
 It was then that Rev. Frye made the statement that if the ministers of the city take part, Rev. Father Muerer should be asked to be one of them. The suggestion was readily concurred in by McNair, who saw Rev. Muerer as soon as possible, and ob- tained his promise to be with the ministers. -
 This will be the first occasion in Bisbee when both the Catholic and Protestant churches have joined hands or Decoration day, each holding their services separately, but with equal loyalty and sincerity.
 It is now intended to make the Memorial day exercises the most fit 'tiLy ever held in Bisbee. HeretG fore the work of preparing for the decoration of graves has fallen upon the shoulders of few, but this year several will assist in the matter. The ministers who will join in the church services are Rev. Frye, Rev. Father Muerer, Rev. Shields, Rev. Young, Rev. Trundle and others. They will probably meet soon to make their arrangements.

FEEDING DESTITUTE

April 20.-Al- though every effort of the various re- lief committees today was bent to ap- pease the gnawing hunger of the des- utute thousands. efforts were in 8 large measure successful, though there are tonight in this city many persons either without sufficient food or entirely without it.

Bisbee daily review., 1906-04-21

Fillmore and Turk was four blocks long all afternoon, and those at the parks were even longer.
 A large supply of milk came from Oakland this morning and rms was distributed to the women ard children, wherever they were found in need. A great deal of this milk was used for exhausted women, who arrived at the Ferry throughout the day, and proved a great boon to them.
 A late estimate places the number of refugees camping in Golden Gate Park from Panhandle to Beach at 15,- 900 men and women and children. So far tfSir privations have been com par2t,Vely insignificant l. is feared by the health authorities, however, that great suffering will result unless shelter can be found in the hear ru. ture for these thousands.
 They are, of course, living wholly i the open. The most unsanitary COT ditions prevail. Hillsides and woode,- copses are being utilized as cesspools, with the result that over certain DOT tions of the park a heavy fetid odor hangs like pail. The refuse will, it is declared, infest the water supply by seeping into broken mains, and so the health officers fear breed pesti- lence.
 Twenty-Five thousand persons left devastated San Francisco today and as many as could be carried by fer ries and probably twice as many more are tonight seeking to depart. All those who seek to cross the bay are given to understand that they may go to any point in the State on any transportation line, free of cnarge, Lut that they may not return.
 This condition is imposed 10 relieve the food situation and is cheerfully e implied with by fleeing people. They are going to every point around the bay and even to Los Angeles, San Diego and other far-of cities in the south. They go anywhere to get away-anything but the sight of the fallen walls and smoking ruins of the city. Oakland received the greatest number of refugees. although Ala meda, San Rafael, Vallejo and every other bay point are crowded to the limit. Hundreds of others trekked southward on the road leading toward oaH 2hdlCO, HtANOOu Slts anu ONAtA places on the west side of the bay.
 At the ferry station there was utter confusion. Mingled in an indescrib- able mass were people of every race upon the earth. Common misfortune and the paramount emotion of man hunger-obliterated all racial dIstinc-- tions. Degraded Chinese, lying on their pallets of rags, slept near the exhaust ed white women with babies in their arms. Bedding, household furniture Of every description, pet animals and bric-a-brac, luggage and packages Of every sort packed almost every foot of space
 Men spread their bedding on Ine asphalt pavement and calmly slept the sleep of exhaustion, while all around a bedlam of confusion reigned.
 This evening is an adequate de- soription of the feature that marked the exodus of San Francisco's people. This, with the added terrors of hun ger, is the situation at the Ferry sta tion tonight.
