SNOW ALARM IN TEXAS.
New York Arrival in Galveston
 Thought Hotel Was on Fire.

When I registered in a Galveston hol tel few weeks ago. said 8 returned travelling man, q asked the clerk where his porter was. for l had toted in my own baggage The clerk replied that he was out getting kindling wood to start fire in the office stove.
 AS I looked around l saw crowd in the middle of the room. The men were punched in circle. The clerk informed me that they were waiting for the porter to make some heat. I learned a few minutes later that the community was expecting a mortimer. Texas norther drives man and beast to cover.
 'T went to the barber shop to get fresh- ened up for breakfast. It was open, but no one was in. I slid into a chair and sat there for ten minutes. No one showed up, and I passed into the bar. l stood against the counter and knocked, but there was no response.
 T returned to the office to inquired about the missing artist and the bar man, but the clerk had disappeared noticed then that the bunch which was gathered about the stove when I first en- tered the office had disappeared. A lot of kindling wood lay on the floor near the stove. The porter had evidently done his stunt in part and had vamoosed.
 "No one was in the elevator, so walked up one flight to the dining room, for l was getting hungry for breakfast. A half dozen men were scattered about the room waiting for food. Not waiter was In sight I remained for several minutes and then went out.
 q met a negro boy, but he was run ning. He paid no attention when l hailed him. I noticed that every one whom I met in the corridor was in notion and the motion indicated unusual activity. I wondered If the hotel was on fire
 q ran down the steps to the office. The room was still. Not a soul was in sight. Again I went to the barber shop; no one in. l made second trip to the bar; 1t was as before. I retraced my steps to the office and began pounding the gong on the counter.
 "A negro blew in from somewhere, and asked him, where the clerk was.
 He's out tha', suh.'
 q ordered the negro to find the clerk and tell him if he did not return in- stanter he would lose a guest. The clerk came, but in very leisurely man. ner I made my kick in an unusually vigorous way.
 Great Scott, mani he replied, don't you know what's goin' on? Why, man alive. it's snowin out tha', and We don't see anything like that down here often.

for the purpose of reducing the number of preventable industrial accidents and @ for the purpose of adjusting more fairly the economic burden entailed by them. It is submitted that one law might be the major solution of both of these problems, that Is, law in which the employers liability principle would commonly be abandoned and in which uniform compensation for all industrial accidents (except those resulting from the wilful misconduct of the man in- jured) would be required.
 "Q Such a law, by making accidents first of all a steady and reckonable ex- pense to employers, would tend to lessen the number of those accidents the pre- vention of which directly or indirectly depends upon his will.
 "C) Such a law, by making compensa- tion for accidents a regular cost of the industry, would result in shifting share of the economic loss of each acci- dent from the family immediately af- fected to the whole body of consumers"

FIRE NEXT DOOR THEATRE AUDIENCE
 UNDISTURBED

A fire fin the boiler room of the Y. M c. A. shortly after 8 o'clock last night, brought the fire department out on a general alarm. The fire was To- cated in the same spot where the mem bers of No. Chemical Go. fought 1t for over an hour Tuesday afternoon over the flue pipe of the hot water boiler.
 |, The flue pipe, which was installed about a year ago, is placed so close to the floor timbers that it is a violation of the building laws. Chief Mooney of the fire department told Supt. Lacy of the Y. M. c. A. that there should be no more fire in the furnace until the location of the pipe is changed.
 Samuel Kyed, engineer of the build ing, swallowed a good deal of smoke in trying to get to the seat of the fire, and was partially overcome.
 The chemical tanks of No. 9 Engine Company and No. 1 Chemical engine were emptied in extinguishing the fire. Fortunately none of the noise of the passing fire engines was heard by the people in Smiths theatre, and although the fire was in the cellar of the ad- joining building none of the smoke found it's way into the theatre.
