formation concerning the number of
Japanese in this country, their occu-

meath the notice of the officers of the
government and also those who are
reported to have been smuggled across
the borders. A study has been made

system and all the relations of the
races with view of arriving at some
conclusions regarding the future de
velopment of the Orientals.

Dalnian Flores of the state of Guer-
rero, who was visiting the host at the
time. One of the numbers of the pro-
gramme consisted of series of NOV
ing pictures. While the operator was
exhibiting these film caught fire and
blaze was quickly communicated tc
some bunting used for decorative pur-
poses.
In an incredibly short time the
flames spread to all parts of the struc-
ture. There were but three narrow
exits and the panic stricken audience
rushed to them, many persons falling
to be crushed TO death, their bodies
choking the way of escape.
Owing to the rapidity with which
the fire spread and it's intense heat ii
was impossible to attempt rescue
work and those imprisoned were lit

with little smoke and few were suffo

About WALKING,

From the st. Joseph Gazette.-The
ordinary man, who Is employed in
doors throughout the day. does not
walk enough. He needs the fresh air
and sunshine OF the outdoors and. no
matter how tired he may be, short
time In the open air will rest him. If
he has no opportunity TO walk dur
ing the evening he ought to do 1t in
the morning. There Is no better tonic
than two mile walk before going to
work. Some business men. who live
some distance from their offices or
stores, walk down regularly every
morning and are greatly benefited
thereby. No matter how sluggish they
may feel on arising the morning walk
puts them in good trim for their
work. Exercise in the open air starts
the blood to circulating in every ar
terry and vein in the entire system,
opens up the pores OF the skin, so that
the waste matter in the body may be
set free, limbers up the joints and
muscles and puts one in shape for the
duties of the day.
