KING LEOPOLD SELLS OUT.
Agrees to Abandon Grown Domain for
$21,00o,oo0 Debts.

Brussels. Mar. s6-The text of the
new Congo annexation treaty was sub
mitted TO parliament Thursday by Pre-.
mier schollaert and on his motion,
was sent to committee without debate.
According to the terms of the new
treaty, King Leopold agrees to aban-
don the crown domain and the crown
foundation to Belgium. Belgium, on
its part, shall not only assume all the
Congo obligations, amounting to $21,-
100000, but undertake also to con-
tinue the kings part in the Congo
revenues during his lifetime. Belgium
is especially required to respect the
concessions granted to two Ameri-
can companies in 1906, in which
Thomas F. Ryan is interested.

out seem to have acted with courage
and self-possession, and to have strug-
gled heroically for the safety of their
pupils, marshaled the little ones into
column for the "fire drill" which they
had often practiced. Unfortunately
the line of march in this exercise had
always led to the front door and the
children had not been trained to seek
any other exit. The Fire Wednesday
came from furnace situated direct
ly under this part of the building.
When the children reached the foot Of
the stairs they found the flames close
upon them, and so swift rush was
made for the door that in an instant
a tightly-packed mass was against it..
Statements Fail 10 Agree.
Unconfirmed statements were made
Thursday as to the cause of the fire
and also that the doors of the build
ing had been locked at the front en-
trance, while but one door of the rear
entry was unfastened. The janitor,
Fritz Hefter, himself bereaved of
three children, says the doors were
open, according to custom. At any
rate the congestion Of fleeing children
in the hallway below effectually
barred the way, and the little ones
went to their death totally unable to
evade the flames. Within three hours
after the start of the fire it had
burned itself out, and the work of re.
covering the bodies proceeded. The
village fire department had only two
engines, and neither, upon arrival
after the alarm was given, was at all
effective in stemming the flames. The
school was two-story and attic
brick building constructed about six
years ago. 1t was overcrowded with
pupils and it was found necessary tc
utilize the attic for those of the ages
between six and eight. Nearly all the
children we're killed in the mass al
the first floor door which finally was
opened by men from the Lake Shore
railway shops who hurried to the
scene.
Bodies Are Taken Out.
The fire had swept away nearly al
resemblance 10 human features IN the
majority of instances. Distracted par
ents soon began to gather and the
work of Identification of the blackened
and mangled corpses began. The
grewsome task of taking out the black
ended torses and bits of human re
mains was one of horror. A line o1
rescuers was formed, backed by half &
dozen ambulances. AS the bodies
were untangled from he debris they
were passed along to the stretchers
and thence loaded in the ambulances
Mercifully covered with blankets, the
pitiful sights were yelled from the
crowd of curious that stretched abou
the entrance to the structure. AS fas
as load was obtained it was driver
away to the improvised morgue to be
succeeded by another within a shor
time. The sights of the human char
mel house caused the men delving into
the mass of burned flesh to hesitate
but the work had to be done and done
quickly, 50 their feelings had to bt
smothered for the time being as they
tenderly handled all that was morta

The funeral sermon was delivered by

doors that only opened Inward, 167
children in the suburb of North Col
linwood Wednesday were killed by
fire, by smoke, and beneath the grind
ing heels of their panic-stricken play
mates. The awful tragedy occurred
in the public school of North Collin
wood, ten miles east of this city. One
hundred and sixty-four corpses were in
the morgue at Collinwood Thursday,
six children were unaccounted for, and
all the hospitals and houses for two
miles around contained numbers Of
children, some fatally, and many less
seriously injured. All Of the victims
were between the ages of six and fif-
teen years. The school contained be-
tween 80 and 325 pupils, and of this
entire number only about 80 are
known to have left the building un-
hurt. It will be several days before
the exact number of killed is known,
as the ruins may still contain other
bodies, and the list of fatalities may
be increased by a number of deaths
among the children who are now in
hospitals.
Word was received In Cleveland
Thursday that Gov. Andrew L. Harris
had ordered the state officers to make
a prompt and searching investigation
into the cause of the Collinwood fire
He also directed that the examination
extend to public schools generally
The Collinwood council Wednesday
night began an investigation.

The schoolhouse was of brick, two

THE HEN.

The hen, as money Garner, outranks
all other living things on this continent,
excepting the cow and man. Last year
the hens, dead and alive, earned three
hundred million dollars. There are
about 3OO,OOO,OOO hens in the nation,
and we get on an average of 100000
eggs a day. During 1906 there were
10000, 100000 eggs consumed in this
country. The cash we pay for our
chickens and eggs for six months
would secure a receipted bill for the
Panama canal. Since 1850, eggs alone
have yielded greater sum of cash than
the products of all the gold and silver
mines combined. Calico print works,
wine CHARTERS and Photographic estab-
lishments used over 100000 dozens
of eggs last year. New York City
alone uses 80, 600, 900 dozens of eggs an
nually.-The Atchinson Globe.

A CHAIR WITH A HISTORY

Warden Norton of the Maine State
prison has just caused to De mahulact,
ured chair which has an unusual
history. 1t is reminder OF the days
when Maine had capital punishment
nnon her statutes. The wood from
which the chair is fashioned was the
drop to the old gallows upon which the
last five men who were executed IN
the State. stood to receive the fatal
drop. The wood in the drop was rock
maple. covered with II pine plank,
securely bolted on. For some time
after the callows were taken down the
drop had been shifted about from place
to place, and being partly decayed,
Warden Norton ordered it cut into Ilre-
wood. Finding the handsome maple IN
the center, gave him suggestion to
have it shaped into something which
might be preserved as relic. Several
things suggested themselves, but he
decided upon chair, with good results.
The chair is duplicate of the old RASH
Toned table chair so familiar a hundred
years ago; the top drops down making a
convenient card table; the chair Itself
is richly upholstered and given line
polish. making a handsome piece OF
furniture. 1t of course attracts much
attention from all to whose notice 1T is
brought and is a valuable piece OF fur
niture, as well as remarkable
souvenir. The five men whose lives
terminated in the tragic death upon the
scaffold, were Lewis H. F. Wagner and
John True Gordon, who were hanged IN
1875; two Italians, Raffale Capone and
Carmen Santore, with Daniel Wllkln-
son, who were executed in 1885. Will
kinson was the last man to be SUBJECT
ed to the death penalty in Maine, his
execution occurring in November, and
the Italians were hung in April OF the
same year.
