New York. Oct. 27.-Mary Farrell,
seamstress, is dying in Roosevelt
hospital, having sacrificed her life in a
successful effort to save the lives of
the scores of people who with her PC
cupied q tenement house in West
Forty third street. While Miss Far
rell, who lived alone on the top floor
of the building, was preparing supper
an oil stove on which she was cooking
the meal exploded. Fearing the house
would catch fire from the burning
stove, Miss Farrell seized it in her
arms and hurried down the front
steps of the building, crying out to
the. occupants of the other rooms to
close their doors and give her and her
blazing burden clear passageway.
Although her light dress caught fire
and the flames ate their way into her
flesh. she did not hesitate. But at
the bottom of the second flight of
stairs her foot caught in her skirt and
she fell on top of her fiery burden
She was dragged away from the burn
ing stove, but it was too late for the
hospital surgeon who responded to a
call pronounced her injuries fatal.
Firemen extinguished the fire after
small damage had been done the
house.

w. 1. Biddle, the we'll known Re
publican politician from Leavenworth,
and one of the members of the state
executive committee, was in Topeka
Monday, and gave out an interview in
which he charged that while ]. d.
Botkin was in Leavenworth recently,
he entered into a compete alliance
with the liquor interests of that
county. Mr.. Biddle says:
Mr.. Botkin visited Leavenworth in
| September and made speech at
Easton in the northwest part of the
county. He was taken TO Easton by
| Stance Myers, chairman of the
| Democratic weekly paper, and immed-
lately afterwards these two local
| statesmen started the rounds telling
| the Joint keepers that MT. Botkin was
| all right'-and that he would allow
the joints to run unmolested if he was
| elected governor. While in Leaven-
worth Saturday, Messrs. Myers and
| Karuner dined with Mr.. Botkin and
he spent practically the whole day
with them. They took occasion to in
| troduce many joint keepers to him
| and there were a number of close con-
ferences. 1t was made plain that
everything was o. K. and that a deal
| was on.
"Leavenworth beer agents repre-
! senting Milwaukee and st. Louis
breweries met Mr.. Botkin in confer
ence and they were active in trying to
work up a big meeting for him. In
/ spite of their strenuous efforts the
meeting was small as the attendance
4 was kept down by the bad weather.
Mr.. Botkin did nor call on any
ministers or any of his old prohibition
associates while in Leavenworth; he
avoided them and was careful not to
do anything to offend or arouse sus-
picion among his newly-made allies.
Double dealing, such as Is now in
progress. will not help Mr.. Botkin.
This will be shown when the returns
are in from our part of the state on
! election night"

orders Are Received From the War
Department.


Monterey, Cal, May 1.-The Atlantic
battleship fieet arrived here today
amid scenes Of splendor.
Throughout the day the streets and
decks of the battleships were throng-
ed with visitors.
A stiff wind, blowing a gale, and
Transforming the bay into chippy
sea, did not deter the thousands who
desired to see the ships at close range,
and the little power launches used by
the excursionists bobbed about In
lively fashion, and the spray from the
breakers sent many a visitor home
thoroughly wet
There was great variety of en-
tertainment ashore for tho the men
and the officers of the fleet and gen.
eral iollfty and good feeling marked
the first day of the fleets stay in this
pretty little city.
New orders were issued from the
~
war department today covering the
entry of the feet through Golden Gate
into San Francisco Bay next Wednes-
day. It is ordered that all Of the
vessels composing the Pacific feet join
the Atlantic fleet outside of Golden
Gate and steam with them through
the harbor entrance to the anchorage
bay, where the review is to take
place.
Thus practically the entire fighting
force of the United States navy, with
the exception of a few newly com
missioned ships in the East and a few
gunboats in the Philippines, will be
in the great column when the ships
anchor in San Francisco Bay.
