FIRE IN ST. LOUIS.
Flames Cause Death and Panic in
salvation Army Hotel.

Flames Cause Death and Panic i'm
salvation Army Hotel.
The Lighthouse hotel. three-story
structure at Ninth and Market streets,
st. Louis, utilized as Salvation Army
barracks, was damaged by fire early
Wednesday, when probably 800 homeless
men were lodged within it. Six lost
their lives and probably thirty-ive were
injured, about half that number being
seriously injured. some not being expect
ed to live
The fire started on the third floor and
swept through the old building rapidly.
Men fought at the windows TO secure the
life-lines and slide to the street. but so
great was the frenzy with which the
ropes Were seized and held that they
were of little avail and those who could
not escape by the stairway leaped from
the windows. a large number of those
who jumped were caught in nets, but
many jumped before the nets were
stretched and were injured. There was
only one stairway and the panic stricken
men surged down this stairway to the
street, only To- find the door locked. A
jam resulted and probably a great loss of
life would have occurrd had not firemen
promptly burst the door open. permit
ting the frenzied men to pour out into
the street. The cause of tho FIRE has not
been ascertained.
The building was three-story struc-
ture and the majority of the dodgers we're
on the upper floors. At every window
could be seen the forms of half-naked
men, calling 10 firemen in terror, and a
few moments later lcaping from the
burning building to be crushed on the
sidewalk below. Life lines, fastened at
windows. provided means of escape for
scores of the 900 dodgers.

The remarkable instance of woman
possessing a mans baritone voice, with
all the masculine qualities is just now
attracting attention among psychological
and rsedical experts at New York. Miss
Edna Murray, whose home formerly was
Fort Worth, Texas, has come under the
observation of Prof. Hyslop, the psychic
expert; DR.. G. w. Colby, throat spe-
cialist. and Albert Gerard Theirs. a voice
culturist. Miss MURRAY says that she
never sang note up to the line she was
20 and there was nothing peculiar or
nothing about her voice Different from
ordinary girls. She had learned, how
ever. to play the piano and was accom-
panying a young man with a baritone
voice one day when the idea occurred to
her that she could sing the song in a
lower voice than he could, and she did
to the establishment of both. At the same
time she says that her handwriting chang
ed from fine feminine hand to that Of
q man. She still has a feminine talking
voice.

Such trade he defined as gambling with
loaded dice. Speaking of competitive sys-

that the good outweighs the evil. ard it

Santos-Dumont, speaking of the recent
trial flights in his aeroplane, the Bird Of
Prey. which has a surface of over so
square yards. says that the practical
acroplane will be much smaller and that
it will be for the air what the bicycle is
for the earth. With the aeroplane. the
speed will be increased in direct proper
ton to the diminution of the resisting
surface. At the same time, he says, in
creased speed adds to the safety. as a
more powerful motor is more easily ma
nipulated. He predicts confidently that
next year people will be able to go to the
scashore in their aeroplane, that it will
be the beginning of new fad and a new
industry. AS for the danger, the only
risk. he thinks, will be that of broken
