some three miles below the village of
South Windham, and it is expected
the water will recede nearly to the

The Grand View sanitarium at
South Windham was destroyed by fire
early Saturday morning. One wom-
an, Mrs. Laura Backus, an insane pa
tient, lost her life. All the other 16
patients were taken out of the build
ing without harm. The sanitarium
was a three-story frame structure,
formerly used as a summer hotel, but
of late years conducted as private
motel for dlpsomRnlacs. The fire
started from chimney. The pa
tients were placed in a cottage at the
rear of the grounds. Mrs. Backus,
who had been taken from her room
and placed in lower hall, could not
be found, and DR.. Miller believed
that she rushed upstairs again and
was burned. She was a town charge
of Windham, and was being kept at
the sanitarium until she could be ad-
mitted to the insane hopsital at Nor
wich. The loss is placed at $40, 900,
with insurance Of about $4,000. The
was owned by company of
which John Donahue is the president.

sousa's Latest.

Sousa's Latest.
Real opera with a full orchestra, a
cast of trained principals with repu-
tations, and a singing chorus, and
above all. new piece. relieved the
theatrical situation in Paducah. when
ISousa's latest, "The Free Lance T"
with Joe Cawthorne, jeanette Lowrie
and Nela Bergen In the leading roles,
was presented last night at The Ken
lucky. Sousa has written better
operas and there have been many
more tuneful scores heard in past
seasons, but that avails us nothing,
because the dearth of really ambiti-
Gus musical pieces on the road leaves
most cities without anything with
which to compare It when 1.-THE Free
Lance" makes a visit The audience
last night was delighted; first with
the music; then with the scene, and
last and all the time with the work
of the company. OF course, there
is one big march, ION to Victory!'
and it has the Sousa swing. with the
shrek OF reed instruments and the
crash of drums that give the thrill
that only Sousa understands.
Every number made hit, because
it was Of high order and well render
ed; but among the more catchy ones
are: 1.-THE Mystery of History" 1.-THE
Goose Girl" ION to Victory and 81
Do It All by Proxy"
Besides the three, whose names are
best known to theatergoers, George
Schiller and Albert Hart, as the en-
peror of Braggadocia and Duke Of
Graftiana, respectively, leave moth
ing to be desired in their parts, while
George Tallman, tenor, as the son Of
the duke, and Yolande's incognito
lover, adds to the effect with his ply
steal appearance and high voice The
chorus composed of good singers.
Sousa is the "March King" and he
is at his best in the military numbers
Dreamy love songs with waltz cho-
ruses are beyond him, and 1.-THE Free
Lance" like most Of HIS operas, is
shy of the kind of numbers the gallery
whistles.
The book of 1.-THE Free Lance" by
Harry B. Smith is as bright as would
be expected.

PRAY FOR LOCAL OPTION BILL
Suppllcations Raised From Pulpit,
and Homes All Over Illinois.

Springfield, H., Feb. 26.-Prayers
were offered from pulpits throughout
Illinois Sunday in behalf of the local
option bill, while in thousands of
homes applications we're raised from
family affairs that the legislature
might pass the temperance measure.
In arranging the day of prayer"
the officials of the Anti-Saloon league
sent letters to 1900 ministers urging
them to ask members of their congre-
cations to direct their private devo-
lions toward the state house at Spring
field and themselves to hold special
prayer services during the day at the
churches.
The league officials report that the
observance of the day OF prayer has
been general, adding their belief that
it VIII be OF efficacy in securing the
passage OF the local option bill Even
without the prayers the league Off
Gals assert that the campaign they
have made for the past two years
ever since the last bill was defeated
in 1905-has success in sight, and
they intimate that the applications
are made to make the passage OF the
act cinch. By some of the minis
ters, former Judge Elbridge Hanecy,
of Chicago and others who anDearpd
last week in defense Of the "demon
rum" were made the subjects Of
particularly fervent upliftings of the
spirit.
Both friends and foes of the bill
appear this week for final hearings
before the house judiciary committee,
after which the measure will be put
through the usual process. This time
the chances are that 1t will emerge
in almost its original form.

Grapevine, once a noted pilot and
master, fell to his death from the
steamboat Frederick Hill in st. Louis

Grapevine, who is very we'll known

Tracks in the snow on the gang

foot had slipped, and a hawser dang

lieyed to indicate that the old river
man fell into the water while at
tempting to carry the line to shore.
For several years Capt. Grapevine
has been employed as Waterman on
the Frederick Hill, a Missouri Pacific
transfer boat. For 2S years he has
been in the Missouri Pacific service,

Capt. Grapevine. who was 65 years

the river trade. In his younger days
he was pilot in the regular packet
trade.
He was % years old when the civil
war commenced and he was one of
several st. Louis pilots who enlisted
in the United States army for the

blockade in the lower Mississippi. In
a battle in the Red River he stuck

many of these counties, particularly in
