Woman Jumps to Her Death.

Chicago.-Fire Friday wrecked the
six-story building of the L. Fish Furni-
ture Company at the corner of Wabash
avenue and Nineteenth street, and IL
persons at least and may be is, died
in the flames.
Ethel Lichtenstein, stenograapher,
plunged to her death from a sixth
story window; ten bodies have been
taken from the ruins, and a number
of employees are : missing. and. it
is feared, are dead.
1t was a fire of remarkable fierce
ness, marked by unusual horror and
remarkable escapes. The fire depart
ment was bitterly criticised for SLOW
ness in responding to the first alarm.
and still more fatal slowness in try
ing to reach the men and women en-
Gagged by flames on the sixth floor.
These charges were denied by CHER
Koran, who pointed out that the build
ing had no fire escape in front and
only one in the rear.
The financial loss Is put at 100000.
There were forty or fifty employees
in the building when a report of an
explosion was heard, followed almost
instantly by a puff of smoke and some
ones wild cry of Fire"
In the general offices and mailing
department on the sixth floor were 20
men and women preparing for the

ers delayed to lock up the office
books. This delay, it is believed,
caused the death of number
Before the first firemen could run
up ladders to the upper floors Miss
Lichtenstein appeared at the sixth
story window facing in Wabash ave-
nue.. She climbed out on the window
sill while firemen shouted not to jump
and women in the crowd of spectators
shrieked in horror.
The girl hesitated a moment; there
was a burst of smoke from below her,
and then she jumped to her death.
What befell those who are now
listed as missing, in the few minutes
of horror after the alarm reached
them, may never be known. The one
or two who did escape from the sixth
floor were saved by remarkable good
luck and the presence of mind of en-
ployes on the first floor of the build
ing.
These employees threw a score or
more of mattresses into the alley, and
a man and boy who jumped and
alighted upon these escaped not only
alive but practically unhurt.
Leo Stoeckel, who was taken into
custody after the conflagration, adj
mitted to the police that it was he
who started the fire.
Stoeckel appeared heartbroken and

PROPHETS WITHOUT HONOR.

In this age of skepticism, when ma
tives of the state of Missouri seem to
be surprisingly numerous and the prin-
ciple of seeing is believing" has been
carried to extremes, the professional
prophets who issue almanacs of prog
nostication have enjoyed peculiar
immunity. Every year the credulous
and superstitious hasten to buy their
wide range of predictions which they
comprise. While the circulation OF
these almanacs Is more extensive in
Great Britain than in this country, 1t
is not gratifying to our national pride
to learn that 100000 copies are pre-
pared annually for American consump.
tion. But even at this late day some
of the dupes are getting wise" and
beginning to check up the prophets.
comparing promise with performance,
says Pittsburg Gazette Times. Zad-
lei. Old Moore and other of the prog
nosticators who make their headquar'
ters in London have been subject to
this process, and the result should
not be without it's effect on the circu-
lation Of their next years almanacs.
The only time the professional proph-
cts made hit IS after the event. The
number of inspired persons who pre-
dicted the San Francisco earthquake
is beyond computation, but one and all
neglected to warn the threatened city
until it was too late. IL people are go
ing to be so mean as to check up old
predictions and see whether they came
to pass, it won't be long until the
prophet is with out honor not only in
his own country, but everywhere else.
