HORRORS OF FOREST FIRES.

Latest reports OF the forest fires IN
the Rainy river region of Minnesota
which reached Warroad last night in
creased the horrors OF the situation, if
not the number Of lives lost. Estimates
OF the number of persons killed ranged
from 100 to 400. Several conservative
men place the deaths at more than 100.
But the greater concern for the present
is the rescue Of the helpless and the re-
lief OF thousands OF homeless men,
women and children.
Stories OF wild animals fleeing for
safety side by side with human beings,
their natural hostility and fear quench-
ed by the horror OF their situation
came in yesterday, showing the des-
perateness OF the situation. Tales also
came OF mothers burned to death with
their babies on the breast, and strong
men calcined while endeavoring to
shield their children.
The terrible results OF the forest fires
are beginning to be realized by the dis
heartened and homeless thousands.
Bodie. found along the railway tracks
three miles west OF Baudette we're
brought to Rainy River, Ont, yester.
day. There was not a particle OF
clothing left on any Of them save parts
Of shoes. The bodies had the ap-
pearance Of having been baked in a
red-hot oven. :,
It is said that when the fire struck
one place 16 people got into dry well
IS feet deep aud remained there, nearly
suffocating from the heat and smoke,
until the fire had passed.
Many settlers got into the Rapid river
and saved themselves by wading IN the
water, although their faces were blister
ed by the heat.
The fire zone covers an area OF %
miles in length from the gravel pits
west of Warroad to Stratton, the fourth
station east OF Rainy River, and II
width about 80 miles, covering all the
territory between Red Lake and the
Lake OF the Woods. The fires have
wiped out the villages Of Baudette
Spooner, Graceton, Pitt, Myron anC
MalcOm.

NUDE STATUE DRAPED.

In hope Of dispensing crowds that
had gathered in Sheridan Circle, Wash
ington, Major Sylvester, chief Of po-
lice, YESTERDAY afternoon ordered two
patrolmen to drape the recumbent
nude statue OF Miss Natalie Barney,
which was left on the lawn because 1t
was too large to pass through the
door OF the studio homo OF Mrs. Al
bert Clifford Barney, Miss Natalie's
mother.
1T is the duty of the police to pro
tect work of art thus exposed to the
weather." said Sylvester. AS the
owners are in Europe and as it cannot
be placed in the house 1 have ordered
my mon to see that it is protected.
Besides. it Is attracting too much at
tention. "
The statue, which is called Deserted
Ariadne, is the work OF Miss Laura
Alice Barney, elder sister of Miss Ma
talie. 1t was shipped from Paris to be
placed in the Barney residence. The
artistic entrance to the studio home
proved too small for the work OF art.
The van men left the statue bathing
in the warm October sun.
In posing for the statue, Miss Natalie
Barney followed some famous examples
but followed them with the modesty for
which she is noted.
Catherine de Medici offered herself as
model TO a sculptor famed for his
figures in the nude.
Pauline Bonaparte, Napoleon's sister,
posed for the famous Canova. Some
inartistic prudo reproached her, asking
how she could have presented herself
unadorned to the artist.
THE studio was warm. " she answer
ed. with the sublimity Of innocence.
More recently there was exhibited IN
Paris a painting by Henri Gervex, La
Femme au Mssqne." f" In the course OF
a law suit the late Maitre BarbouX,
famous French lawyer, declared that
Nine. Crespin du Cast, q fashionable
woman, posed for the model, who
must have worn only mask. This
led Prince Helie de Sagan, friend OF
Nine. du Cast, TO thrash Balboux.
This OF course was before de Sagan
married Nine. Anna Gould who
had divorced his cousin, Boni de Cas-
lellane.
