And Finally Died to Save Lives OF Her
Children

New York, Dec. 31.-From a shah
by little fiat on Second avenue today
will be held the funeral of a woman
who gave her life to save her two lit
tie children. None Of the neighbors
knew much about Mrs. Mary
Nautusch except that her husband
never appeared and she worked 10
hours a day in a laundry to care for
her two little children, aged 6 and 9.
The other night after returning from
her work, she sat down by the fire
and dropped asleep while waiting for
the two little girls to return from a
Sunday school Christmas tree. When
they entered she jumped up suddenly
and her skirt caught fire. The chill
dren rushed to her, but she resolutely
pushed them out into the hall and
locked the door that their clothes
might not catch fire. BY this time
Mrs. Nautusch's thin clothes were a
mass Of flames and neighbors who
rushed in and extingufsned the blaze
found her unconscious. She died at a
hospital. Neighbors are caring for
the little girls who will probably have
to be turned over to an institution.

MRS. SAGE PUTS UP.
Donates $25. 900 to Restore the Gov
errors Room in New York.

New York, Dec. 31.-The Governors
Room In which probably there is more
historic interest than in any other room
in New York, is to be again restored. -
Six months age it was opened to the
public after being closed for long
time for repairs, but the criticisms
made regarding the method Of ''restor-
ing" it, were so frequent that 1t was
decided that the work should be done
over. But there was no money for the
work and the necessary appropriation
could not be secured. Now Mrs. Rus
sell Sage has offered the city $4,000 for
the restoration of the room and the Of
fer has been accepted. The work will
be done under the direction of the city
art commission of which Robert r. De
Forest is president. The room was the
office of New York's governors for
many years after 1903, when the build
ing was erected.

THEY MUST BE CAREFUL.
Secretary Crumbine of State Board of
Health Lays Down the Law.

Secretary S. J.. Crumbine of the state
board of health is notifying the county
health officers of the state that unless
they take pains to make their annual re-
ports correctly this year he will return
the reports to them for correction.
There has been much difficulty in the
thorities to make accurate and prompt re-
turns as required by law. The reports Of
deaths is one of the most important parts
of this report, and DR.. Crumbine urges
the county officers to compare returns
from physicians with the returns. from
llndertakers so that there may be no
omissions or Implications. and so that the
real cause of the death may be ascer-
tanned.
In closing DR.. Crumbine says:
81 beg to state that blanks not properly
of health will be returned for completion
or correction. We trust therefore that the
returns made to this office for the past
wear may be the most complete and au-
thentic, and hence the most valuable. that
have thus far been recorded in Kansas"

Visitor Describes the NauSeat- ing Condition of One of them Located in Los Angeles Must Be Suppressed,

An operation is to be performed on the yitals of Chinatown in the city of Los Angeles by the state board of pharmacy.
 An X-ray investigation turned into the dark places of this quarter by Secretary Charles B. Whiiden of the board, reveals a nauseating labyrinth of vice and deprayity, says the Times.
 Warrants for the arrest of four Chinese merchants, all of whom ope- rate opium dens, will be issued as the forerunner of an incision into the city of frame shacks that will lay bare the seat of evil
 From my knowledge of the enor' nous traffic in opium that is being carried on in the Los Angeles China town and in San Francisco, am now firmly convinced that the importation and sale of opium in this country should be curtailed by national enact ment," said Secretary Whilden to a Times reporter. 'As California holds the most important harbors of import on this coast, I believe it is the duty
 tre California state board of prah' macy to start a movement which will bring this matter before congress.
 Any man in your city can go into Chinatown. buy opium in any quantity and lie on trundle cots in dens of filth and depravity. l Know or women who buy opium in Chinatown, raising a heavy veil for one instant that the hop vendor may recognize their faces, and then passing out by dim channels to dart into the street and continue their way.
 Do these women always continue their way?" significantly asks Whil- den. T. accompanied by two depu- ties, Tuesday night entered an opium den at the establishment of Yu Kee, No. SIS Marchessault street and saw eleven men lying on hunks. Some were smoking opium; others had passed into that coma of stupor which is the lust of the fiend.
