ON FIRE

Miss Okubo, feeling the effects of
the present warm spell, sought her
couch in the upper story of the frame
building in the middle of the block, on
the side of the street toward the sea,
on Beretania street. just above River,
about II o'clock this morning, and
slumbered.
She was rudely awakened by the
smell of smoke and even the heat of
flames on her cheek and jumped from
the bed to find that her wardrobe,
suspended from hooks on the board
wall, near the door. was on fire. She
screamed.
Her father fastened from his fruit
shop below and poured bucket of wa
ter over his daughter and another over
the wardrobe splashing a third on the
wall Then he got hose and played
plenty water" over the wall.
Meanwhile an alarm had been turned
in and the department responded, but
was not needed.

her nerves were naturally unduly ex
ercised, and her father swore softly,
for that the water drained through on
to the sponge cake, sliced watermelon,
candy, cigars and cabbages in his shop
below.
No one could explain how the fire
started and the old excuse of sponta-
neous combustion will hardly hold
good when a lady's wardrobe is the
material involved.
1t may have been that some matches
were in the sleeve of a kimona and
the wind from the window, blowing
the clothes to and fro, may have fric-
toned the matches in said clothes
against the wall with the result that
there was blaze among the frou-frou

"dERE is Soul Sat1SIy1ng SOUND
about the word philanthropist-
lover of man. It is the term
universally applied to Nathan
Straus, the New York merchant who
has crowned life of charity by es-
tablishing pasteurized milk depots
throughout America and Europe. If
there were a word that meant lover
Of children, it would be still more ap-
propriate to Mr.. Straus, as he has
saved the lives of thousands Of little
ones by his pure milk crusade. This
should entitle him to fame as much
above that Of the conquerors as it is
greater to give life or preserve it than
it is to take it away.
Mr.. Straus is the head of one Of
New York city's immense department
stores. His brother, Oscar S. Straus,
Is. member of President Roosevelt's
cabinet and was formerly minister to
Turkey under President Cleveland.
Nathan Straus, however, is a Demo-
crat and was recently appointed chair
man Of the committee to organize the
business men of the country In behalf
Of the Bryan ticket. Despite his work
as a business man and philanthropist
Mr.. Straus has always found time to
devote to public affairs. He has been

reduced 1t to twenty. In New York
the year before he began his worl
the infant mortality during the five
hot weeks of July and early August
had been 1861 per 1000. The next
year, after he began distributing pas
teurized milk. it fell to ITO.
During ten years he kept up the dis.
tribution, and the death rate among
children was still further decreased tc
I'll. He began by giving the milk
free to physicians of the board of
health and those engaged in charita-
BILE work. Then he started erecting
booths in the parks. In this he was
opposed by many officials and at first
had little encouragement from any
source. He persevered, however, ex-
tending the work to Philadelphia, Chi
cago and other cities, and the press
began to comment favorably on lis
efforts. 1t was the writer's fortune to
be an editorial writer on one of the
New York dailies during Mr.. Straus'
crusade and to assist in a small way
by writing many editorials in his be-
half. l remember that at the begin
ming of one summer Mr.. Strauss had
five pasteurized milk depots ready to
open in various parks of the city. He
offered to supply any number of addi-
tional booths that the city would erect
with pasteurized milk free of cost ex-
cept the nominal charges to patrons.
The appropriation required was only
the triding sum of $4,000, and yet
the officials were so slow that even this
niggardly amount was not Forthcoming.
Mr.. Straus then erected twelve more
booths himself. making seventeen in
all.
he had q similar experience in some
European cities. OF one Of these he
said in an interview:
Il had desire to establish my milk
system In the town of Lille, France,
where the infant mortality was-oh,
I've forgotten the figures, but it was
something frightful! I made the offer
and endeavored to arrange for the
acceptance Of the gift, but it seemed
there were too many difficulties in the
way - official difficulties, precedents,
red tape and all the rest of it,"

Honored by Royalty.

Nevertheless he did succeed in Eu-
rope, and now his milk depots are to
be found in many cities. Not only So,
but at a recent international pure milk
congress Mr.. Straus was given an ova-
ton. he has been received and hon
ored by royalty for his work abroad,
and through his efforts France, Ger
many, England and other foreign ma
lions have been awakened to the i'm
pure milk peril almost as much as has
his own land. Recently Mr.. Straus

Only Nominal Prices CHARGED.

In his philanthropic work Mr.. Straus
mas always avoided the appearance Of
giving charity, believing that this de-
grades and pauperizes the recipient.
He has insisted on those he helps pay
ing something If possible. This amount
has always been less than the cost OF
the article to Mr.. Straus and has been
insisted on simply to preserve the self
respect of the recipient Thus during
the panic Of 1898, when so many men
were out Of work in New York city and
so much suffering prevailed among the
poor, Nathan Straus established coal
supply stations. grocery stores and
sleeping houses throughout the city. He
saw that the people were being robbed
by the small coal dealers who sold in
twenty-five or fifty pound lots. By es-
tabl1shlng several coal Offices and buy
Ing In Immense quantities he was en-
abled to sell the coal to the poor at
about half what they had been paving.
This represented loss to Mr.. Straus,
but relieved the suffering. The same
was true of his groceries, in which
work he was helped by ]. Pierpont
Morgan and others. The prices charged
were little more than nominal, but the
people still felt that they We're paying
for what they got. In the sleeping
houses the men only gave 5 cents
night, or prices as ridiculously small
but they did not have the sense of re-
ceiving without giving an equivalent,
and so the great psychological law of
recompense, which is so necessary to a
feeling Of independence, was not vio-
lated. Later on, when Mr.. Stratus es-
tablished the pasteurized milk depots
in the parks and on the public piers, he
worked on the same principle. The
milk was sold at small amount per
bottle or per glass, not nearly enough
to repay the cost, but still enough to re-
move the sting Of a patronizing chart
ty from those helped. Even then the
price was not insisted on in all cases.
If mother applied for milk for her
infant and said she was not able to
pay. the milk was given gladly. Not
only was pasteurized milk furnished at
these booths, but physician was in
attendance to advise mothers as to
their little ones. This service was
free OF charge Through such means

Authors and Speakers of Ability,

Ut these brothers there are two
Hon. Oscar S. Straus, already men
toned, and Isidor Straus, almost as
we'll known, since he has been a men,
Der OF congress and prominent in his
opposition to a protective tariff and
free silver. There is no family in
New York more thoroughly respected
than the three Straus brothers. They
belong to that high type of philan-
thropic Jews of which the world con-
ta1ns many noble examples. They are
transformations, cultured, public spir-
tied, intellectual and given to good
Works. All are authors and speakers
of ability, all have held high public
place, all are capable business men,
and all are objects Of public esteem.
or the three, Nathan Strauss excels
In works Of philanthropy. He is rath-
er slight in build, Of nervous, intellec-
tual face, which is covered by a full
beard running to two points. Mr..
Straus has a home Of quiet elegance,
loves a fast horse and tells a good
story on occasion. One tale Of his re-
lates to a stableman One morning
Mr.. Straus found this man rubbing
the leg of one Of his trotters with a
spike nail dipped in liniment: When
asked what he was doing the man
replied that the directions said to ap-
ply the medicine with a nail or tooth
brush," and as he had no toothbrush
he thought if he had to use a nail he
had better take spike. The stable
man was evidently not acquainted
with nailbrushes.
Mr.. Straus has a sad face, seeming
to feel the suffering of all the unfortu-
nate. Yet if the saving of many lives
can give JOY, he should be the happi-
est man in the world.

spent fourteen months abroad for the
purpose Of preaching his crusade for
the preservation of life and in that
time made great progress. In Sand
hausen, small village near Heidel-
berg, the establishment of pasteuriza-
ton plant caused an immediate fall in
the death rate of children. In Karls-
ruhe the dowager Grand Duchess
Luise Of Bavaria gave her cordial sup
port to Mr.. Straus in the establishment
OF a pasteurization plant, as did the
Countess of Aberdeen, vice refine Of
ireland, In Dublin; the Princess Ar
nulf Of Bavaria, in Munich, and Dr.
+. w. Hope, officer Of health, in Liv-
erpool. Baron Won Beinerth, minister
of the interior of Austria, promised
Mr.. Straus to introduce the pasteuriza-
ton of milk throughout that country,
and the demonstrations given by Mr.
Straus in Frankfort, Berlin and Vienna
were attended by physicians, men of
science, philanthropists and govern
ment and health officials.
Mr.. Straus' platform in this work
may be judged by this vigorous sum-
ming up: Neither war nor pestilence
nor famine claims as many victims as
impure milk. It is the most terrible
foe of humanity, all the more because
1t gives no outward sign Of the dan
ger. Let us pasteurize our milk sup.
ply. Let US have for our motto, 'Medi-
c1nes and hospitals are possible cures.
