Stage-Struck Royalty.
From T1t-Riis

The habit OF becoming stage struck is
as common among youthful royalties As
among less exalted persons. The queen
OF Holland once confessed that II she
were obliged to choose a profession IL
would he that OF an actress. During her
girlhood she took a great interest In anna I
teur thea tricals and the little private
theater which she had erected at the pal
ace was often the scene Of her own dra-
matte triumphs. Queen Alexandra was at
one time a clever amateur actress ana
her love of acting is shared by her
daughter. now Queen OF Norway. Prin-
cess Henry of Battenberg is another royal
actress Of great merit.

CATCH SUPPOSED
THIEF WITH THE
AUTO PATROL

The automobile police patrol
gave another excellent exhibition
of its worth yesterday afternoon
by aiding in the capture of a
burglar within five minutes after
the man had jumped from a win
dow Of the house he was ram
sacking.
When the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ell P. Norton, 1917 North Eighth
street, returned from school yes
terday he arrived home Just in
time to see man jump from a
window of the Norton house to
the ground and hurry away. The
lad Immediately telephoned to the
police station and the patrol, with
two jailers inside, was hurried to
the spot.
At North Fifth and X streets,
four blocks from the Norton
home, they met a man running
along the street who answered the
description telephoned in by the
boy. The man was bundled into
the wagon and was later identi-
fled as the man seen jumping
from the window. He gave his
name as Charles Lawrence. He
is believed to be an ex-convict.

lNCINERATED IN A
WHICH DESTROYS
COUNTY HOSPITAL.

Mrs. Mary e. Pearce, 20 years
old, was burned to death In her
home at the old county hospital,
a half block south of the present
county hospital, and the entire
two-story structure was raZed to
the ground as the result Of the
overturning of lamp at z O'Clock
last night. Parker Pearce, the
aged woman's husband, who is
nearly IS years old, was in the
building at the time the fire start
ed, and made a desperate attempt
to drag his unconscious wife from
the place, but failed.
The old couple has been living
in the abandoned hospital build
ing, which is located near South
38th and Pacific av., at the ex-
pense of the county. They were
alone in the lower portion of the
building last evening, and there
was no person closer to them than
the inmates of the county hos
pital.
Clothing in Flames.
Mrs. Pearce was sitting in her
room, preparing for bed, and her
husband was in the room adjoin-
ing. Without warning, Mrs.
Pearse uttered shrill cry, and

TORTURED BOY
IS AWARDED
DAMAGES

The Jury in Judge Clifford's
court which has been taking evil
dence in the damage suit of Will
lam Roberts, one-armed youth,
against Owen O'Farrell, rendered
a verdict of $500 damages last
evening. Roberts sued for $10,-
900. Evidence adduced yester-
day confirmed the lads statements
that he had been tied up with a
strap and piece of wire SO that
his head and feet were drawn
close together, and that he had
been kept in that position for Is
hours.
O'Farrell stated that on the
evening of the assault he had seen
the youth attempting to pry open
a window of his (O'Farrell's) sa-
loon. and that he had administer
ed the punishment as lesson. The
boy told an entirely different
story.

WOMAN IS BURNED
TO DEATH

her husband, rushing to her room,
found the lamp overturned and a
portion of the room in flames. He
wrapped a comfort about his wife,
whose clothes were ON fire, and
dragged her to the outer door,
where he left her while he went
for some water to throw on the
flames.
After he had returned with the
water, however, he was so ex-
hausted that he was unable to
drag his PROSTATE wife from the
building, and the flames soon
crept about her body. Her body,
charred and unacceptable, was
taken from the place several min
utes later by firemen.
Department Criticized.
The entire building was demol-
ished, but the loss will not amount
to more than the value of the lum-
Der consumed. The building was
almost worthless and the county
had determined to
raze it. Severe criticism was rails
ed against the fire department for
its alleged hardness in getting to
work on the fire, but Chief Nc
Alevy claims that when the first
apparatus arrived at the scene of
the conflagration the hose was not
long enough and that precious
minutes were lost while waiting
for more equipment.
