DISPATCHES in today's Gazette give
thrilling descriptions . of disastrous
fire in Newark, n. j.. this morning
at which at least twenty persons, most
" young girls, lost their lives. The
fire originated in box factory III
which a number OF young women were
employed, and so rapid was the fire
that most Of the inmates were COM
pslled to jump from windows in order
to escape from the roaring flames.
In the smoke and confusion most
OF them missed the life nets and
were dashed to pieces on the side
walks. Others were MORALLY injured
and died on their way to hospitals.
Priests, at the risk OF their livcs, en-
tered the burning building aud aided
the fremea materially in rescuing
the Injured and dying. The disaster
will put Grape on number OF houses
in Newark and gloomy Sunday Will
be the experience Of many in humble
homes.

The recent demand by a Norfolk

The recent demand by a Norfolk
paper that Governor Mann call an extra
session OF the legislature for the enact
ment OF laws legalizing all primary
elections in Virginia was firmly but
courteously refused by the governor,
who said such course by him was un-
called for, because the legislature, when
last in session, declined to pass such
legislation, Now petition for an ex-
ira session, is being circulated by
some Norfolk people who say they
want the primary legalized when two
United States senators will be noml-
mated in the summer Of 1911. 1t is
hoped the governor will stand pot.
Why, an extra session of the legislature
could do the state more harm in thirty
days than could Norfolk politics in SO
many years, even though the latter is
a stencil in the nostrils OF the other
people OF the state and has been for a
long time past.

AOUICK WITNESS.

3. Bernard Burgunder,of Baltimore,
proved TO be an interesting and rather
remarkable witness when called to the
stand in the rate hearings before the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
Washington yesterday.
Although only 19 years old, he
proved himself to be mental rheno
menon in calculations relative to rail
way stocks and bonds. He was on the
stand only about ten minutes. but his
testimony was SO pointed and direct
that members of the commission and
the brilliant array OF railway counsel
present sat back surprised at the famil-
iarity with railway-stock earnings shown
by so young an expert. Members OF
the commission asked few questions
and we're astopisbed at the readiness
with which the witness answered.

IrA Washington school teacher IS
convinced that nothing except an old
fashioned spanking will make good
boy or a good girl out of bad one
she may use that method. This, in Ell
feet, is the decision Of A. 4. Stuart,
superintendent of schools yesterday,
when the question was brought before
him. No widespread epidemic OF
spanking is expected since tho teachers
will be required to make official report
OF such action to supervising principals.
Il rather suspect that they would pre-
fer to forego this particular form OF
punishment rather than make the re-
FORM" said the superintendent. /
don't want it understood that we en-
courage this method of reprimanding q
pupil. But we are old-fashioned
enough to believe that, at times, 1t Is
highly efficacious. And the superln-
tenjeDt is right Many a boy has been
ruined by the sparing Of the rod, whom
he richly deserved such punishment.

Alfonso in a Critical Condition.

Madrid, via Hendaye, Nov. 20
That King Alfonso OF Spain is in far
more critical condition OF health than is
generally known. is believed to be in
Dictated by his hurried trip to Bordeaux,
France, to consult Prof. Mourc, the
noted specialist.
1t developed today that the reason
for the visit is to have more OF the de-
caying bone removed from Alfonso S
head, proving the steady advance OF
the dread carries from which the king is
suffering. The disease has baified
science and has been placed in the in
durable class. Apparently the
disease had not been checked by pre-
vious, operations.
Carries is a gradual decaying OF the
bones, which are carried away piece
meal, as distinguished from necrosis,
where the bone dies in masses.
Alfonso has long been avictim OF the
dreadful disease, which he inherited
from his father.
