FATAL RESULTS OF
BIG HOTEL FIRE

Belfast. Ireland, July 2s.-Fire swept
through the Kelvin hotel, burning to
death three employees. while several
guests received frightful injuries Five
of the guests were dangerously burned
and others are In serious condition
Among those surviving who suffered
most were the Rev. William John Nc
Caughan. for nine years pastor of the
Third Presbyterian church of Chicago,
and his wife.
The McCaughans were caught on an
upper floor. and in attempting to find an
exit through the hall. were terribly
burned. Their escape through the usual
exits being cut of by the flames, the
minister and his wife finally threw them
selves from an upper window. Both
struck the pavement with great force,
and when they were removed to a hos
pital 1t was found the skulls of both
had been fractured. The condition Of the
two Is critical.
DR.. Mclaughlin resigned his pastorate
In Chicago in May, 1907, to become pastor
of the May street congregation in this
city.
The Rev. Mr.. McCaughan was still I'M
conscious at late hour tonight. His
wife Is weak from the shock and burns,
but is believed to be out of danger.

FARMERS SCHOOL
NOW IN PROGRESS

Auburn, July 26.-(Special.)-M Sue
Hollowell of North Carolina. a noted
lecturer on domestic economy and home
making, has no patience with the suffra-
gist.
''The sensible woman, instead of trying
to usurp mans province" she said last
night during the course of lecture be-
fore the Farmers Summer school, lis
going to try to do her own work, and
do 1t properly"
There is more ill-humor in the world
because women do not know how to do
their. work properly, than from any other
cause, she said.
Mrs. Hollowell's address on 1.-The Ne
cessity of Institutes for Farmers Wives
spoke of woman as the "homemaker"
THE woman is first and last home
maker. That is her sphere. Girls should
be raised and educated to know that
their sphere is the home. And it is as
important for them to know how to cook
and take care of the home as it is for
the man to know how to practice law and
become doctor.
And women should stay in their
sphere. ] don't think woman ought to
know how to make an axe handle: sha
ought not to know what an axe handld
is made of. Both men and women havI
their work. The one question is. mol
which work belongs to which. but hoJ
1t should be done"
Mrs. Hollowel Is prohibitionist SID
said that many men are driven to drinI
because they are poorly fed. And sha
seeks to thwart the influence Of whisky
by teaching the wife how to cook
The women's part OF the summer school
has proved popular from the first Al
cooking demonstrations by Mrs. W. N.
HUT in Smith dining hall Monday AFTER
noon was well attended. Her subject was
Rice which she prepared IN many
forms. t7l
