como aquel glorioso rosario en-
que Ell aceite de los faroles ser
via, a un tempo, en- la frente
de los dev votas, de caustico Y de
bendito oleo sacramental.
Veamos, despues de esto, cual
es el criterio de la autoridad en-
punto a tan honestas algarabias.
Cuando precisamente sc juzga
el drama 8 el entremes pecami
noso, es cuando parece merito-
ria la bacanal. Es, justamente,
de una a seis de la madrugada
cuando la autoridad sanciona el
bale que llaman "agarrao' los
inteligentes. La senora para
quien es delito yer a las doce v
media LA rebotica", puede a
las tres de la madrugada yer
cuantas reboticas quiera, con
tai que Ell ejemplar del sainete
no salga TN momento del ante
palco. Adulterios, risas, catas-
trofes, no asustan a los gober-
nadores pudibundos. No pare
ce sino que 10 que les molesta
no son los vicios nj las desgra-
cias. sino Ell que sean de menti-
rljillas.
Ante semejante contradiction,
el respectable p1blico viene obi.
gado a hacer al autor de cada
bando moralizador, estas Q pa
recidas preguntas: 1Es licito 6
no divertirse despues de media
noche? lEs 10 que molesta ell
teatro 8 las llamadas maIas cos
tumbres2 mos acostamos tenn
prano 9 no? iAcaba usted 8 me
quito? Porque no parece bien
que sc obligue a retirarse de los
teatros a las senoras temprano
con Ell fin unico de dejar libre ell
puesto a otras no siempre tan
respetables.
Tranquilicense los empresa-
rios de bales p1blicos: no es mi
amino pedir que Sc limite el de-
recho a la libre exploitation de
la danza. De tonic califlca va
un viejo adagio a quien no
aCierta a marcar unos cuantos
compases en- este lastimero fan
dango de la vida. Bale de buen
talante quien de clio guste, y
conserve mil aflos la salud y las
piernas. Cuanto mas que yo

cuerdo que hayamos acertado q
realizar en- la vida, haya sido
oprimir Ell talle de una mujer Y
ponernos q hacer batimanes
.Sigan los bales en- buen hora Y
no terminen hasta que 20 de el
alto, que primero han de fati-
garse los Cornetines de soplar y
los bastoneros de pasear la ire
menda porra con cintas.
Pero, siquiera por desacredi
tar la famosa ley del embudo,
dejesenos divertirnos tambien
a los amantes del teatro. Bien

S3OO,OOO LOSS IN HOTEL FIRE
Flames Famed by Gale Treaten Many Business Buildings-Two Firemen
 Are Injured.

Chicago.-Fanned by a 4O-mile gale. a fire, which broke out in the Hotel Florence, 163 Adams street, early Mon- day, scattered burning embers about the southern portion of the loop dis district, endangering a score of struc- lures and causing a loss estimated at $300,000. Twenty guests of the hotel which was four-story structure, were aroused from their beds by po- lice and firemen. All of the inmates are believed to have escaped.
 Adjoining the burning structure on the east is the partially completed 16-story building of the Corn Ex- change National bank The new sky scraper was given severe test, but with the exception of some temporary woodwork, resisted the flames success fully. Two members of the Fire De- partment were struck by boards which fell from a burning scaffold on the fifteenth floor of the bank build ing. One of them, Edward Wake field, truckman, was knocked un- conscious. The other, Herbert Scan- lon, pipeman, escaped with slight bruises
 The wind drove the flames directly against the bank structure, which formed a complete barrier to the spread of the fire, but at the same time acted as chimney to carry burning brands, sparks and embers hundreds of feet into the air.

SANATORIUM
PROTEST
FUTILE
Caldwell and Verona Peti.
TONERS Are Told Proposal
Is Impossible.

A ~strenuou protest against the es-
adjustment of the tuberculosis sana-
forum at Verona was made TO the
Board of Health last night by a dele
cation of the residents of Caldwell and
Verona, who fear that the housing Of
consumptives in the vicinity will cause
a spread of the white plague. The
delegation was headed by a real estate
man and the proposition vas made to
the board to exchange the Verona site
for $50 acres of land near P~eauannocls
Township, In Morris County. The prot
estants stated that the establishment
of a sanatorium in Verona would be a
detriment to property values.
DR.. Herman G. Fl, Herold. president
Of the board. explained the situation to
the real estate man and his friends, and
told them that it would be impossible
to consider the offer. The sanatorium
is the girls cottage Of the City Home
and vas urned over to the Board of
Health by the City Home trustees and
Common Council, and for months past
the building has been under RECONSTRUCT
eioiA anu 10 INV dDout ready LOT Occu-
pancy.
To forestall any legal action by the
Verona residents, the Board of Health
yesterday installed two patients in the
institution. and Medical Superintendent
Gluckman has moved there perma-
nently.
The agitation against the %sanatorinm
has never been so pronounced until the
last few weeks, when, 1t is said, in
luence was brought to bear on tbs
fears of the residents of the vicinity
by persons who it Is said would like to
secure the girls cottage for q hotel site.
The girls cottage IL worth $4,000, aud
alton on land in the vicinity OF SIS per
front foot, while the property in afo+Sri
County near PequannocS Township. is
worth In the neighborhood of $50 m aero.
The site offered in exchange is. within
two miles of the village Of Pompton, aal
with the erection Of q dam for a hugr
reserve reservoir for potable water and
Hood control. recommended by the State
Water Supply Commission, the villages
land would be under water.
This land was offered to the Mayor III :.
communication sent him some time ago in
exchange for the Verona property.
The board will give the matter no atten-
ton, though it is understood that the mefi
back of the scheme will attempt 70 carry
forward the. attempted wrestling of s60,e00
worth Of property from the city for several
hundred acres of farmland worth on6-tenth
of the property the city now OWNS.
