Women Get Excited.

The greatest excitement during the fire
was among the feminine employees of the
hotel
One clerk who went to their wing Of
the house to arouse them and assist them
to get out safely was severely bitten in
the hand by panic-stricken woman he
was aiding.
The Clarendon had just opened. and it's
management was looking forward to
prosperous season. Every room was en-
gagged. 1t was a wooden structure, valued
al about $2GO,000. and insured for about
10 per cent, as was stated today by the
owners.
The fire is believed to have started in
the coal bins in the basement. and did not
appear to be serious at first. 1t gained
such Roadway. however that the local
ffre-fghting facilities could not cope
with ii.
The guests of the Clarendon have been
cared for at neighboring hotels and cot
tages, the management taking the respon-
sibility for their entertainment. The
ground around the hotel was piled high
with trunks and grips all the earlier part
of the day. but last night the CONFUSION
had been greatly relieved. The guests
whose losses were greatest started I"
search the ruins for valuables as soon as
the debris had cooled.

Sparks Set Cottage Afire.

In a short time the fire had spread with
remarkable rapidity. 1t was seen that
the hotel could not be saved The air be
came filled with sparks which blew di-
rectly back onto the long row of cot

buildings had already moved their house

Bucket brigades were started, To wet
down the Shingle roofs of the cottage,
but the heat OF the fire as the rear wall
of the hotel fell in drove the fighters back
from the buildings
One of the first of the cottages To eaten

part of the cottages around the hotel.
A Mr. Gibson, a guest IF the Seaside

$50 Guests Escape From Hotel.

So quickly was the work performed that
by the time the flames were menacing
nearly all the $50 guests had reached the
ground floor. The elevator boys stuck 10
their posts through the smoke and aided
in preventing a serious panic among the
guests
The fire squad Of the hotel employees
and the local apparatus soon had several
streams of water playing on the flames.
In a short time the fire appeared to be
under control.
The guests were gathered outside on the
beach. A few of those who had left their
rooms more hastily were in their night
clothes. Many were stacking up and sort
ing trunks. Others were hunting for be
longings which they had thrown from
windows of their rooms.
When IL looked as If the fire was over a
few of the men were allowed to return In
their rooms. With the assistance of the
hotel employees, they were busiy engaged
in clearing the rooms which had not al
ready been touched by the fire when the
alarm was given again.
The wind had shifted to the east and
famed the fire into new life. A few men
who were on the upper floors barely got
out this time.

Hotel Clarendon and ten cottages at Sea

by fire yesterday.
No one was seriously injured in the fire.
Several guests of the hotel had narrow
escapes
The property loss to the guests and the
occupants Of the cottages was not large
on account of the fire occurring praC-
tically in two parts. 1t started up again
after having been once nearly eXtin-
guished.
This allowed the majority of the guests
of the hotel to get their baggage and
personal belongings from their rooms.
The lessees of the cottages also had time
to empty them of the greater part Of their
contents
The night clerk of the hotel discovered
smoke in the rear hallway just before
daylight. Without waiting to investigate
further he sounded the firm alarm, which
rang on all the upper floors and awoke
the staff of bell boys.
They were Immediately sent on the
rounds of the rooms to make sure no one
had failed to hear the alarm and to as
sist the women and children down the
stairs and fire escapes.

ones who have solved the colored
picture problem.
The greatest attainment OF this
leading firm of producers is repre-
scented in the famous Pathe Films
de Art" These films embrace all
sorts OF subjects, biblical, dramati-
cal, historic, industrial and high
comedy, and are produced with in
finite care in every detail. Some of
the Films de Art have cost as
much as $4,000 to make, and they
are the highest possible form OF
moving picture entertainment. The
next film de art to be released will be
La Grande Bretche."
The high standard maintained in
the Majestic theatre is a matter of
comment among the moving picture
theatregoers and the effort OF the
management to put on only an enter
tainment which is elevating as well
as amusing is highly commendable
and deserves the encouragement Of
our amusement-loying people.

MORE PASSES IN MAIL BOX
Pickpockets Continue to Return
Them to RRiIrOaders Through
u. .. Postal Service.

There seems to be a sort Of philan-
thropy governing pickpockets in and about
Omaha regarding railroad passes. Within
the last ten days three railroad men have
been relieved of their collection of passes
by pickpockets and the same deposited
in a mail box by the thieves and subse-
quCntly restored to the owners through
the postoffice.
The latest railroader to have his passes
returned TO him by the postoffice route
Is q. S. Pentecost, division passenger
agent of the Rock Island. who was robbed
Of his wallet and a score of passes by a
pickpocket last week.
1T begins to look to me-" said Post
master Thomas, las If some philanthropic
pickpocket is anxious that the anti-pass
laws in this state must be enforced and
knowing a railroader by instinct simply
relieves him of the tabooed passes as a
caution that the law must be enforced.
OF course we rave no other recourse but
to return the passes to their owners with
cut reference to the anti-pass laws"
