Newark, n. j., Nov 26.-In ten min

Petrihed With Fright.
The rush of the flames was so in
credibly swift and threw such unrea-
soning terror into the huddled work
ing girls on the top story that the
body of one was found still seated on
a. charreG stool beside the machine
at which she had been busy when the
first cry Of fire. petrifed her with
fright.
Horrible as must have been, what
went on in the smoke of that crowd
ed room, what befell outside in the
bright sunlight was more horrible yet.
The building was extremely inham-
mable, and the first gush of flames
had cut off all possibility of escape
by the stairways. The elevators
made one trip, but took down no pas
sangers and never came back. The
only exit was by two narrow frees
capes, the lower platforms of which
were twenty-five feet from the pave
ment below.
Jumped For Their Lives.
Onto these overcrowded and steep
lanes, scorched dancing hot by the jets
from lower windows pressed forward
a mob of women, blind with panic,
driven by the fire and the others be-
hind them. A net had been spread be-
meath the windows, and the girls be-
gan to jump. Like rats out of a
burning bin," was the way fireman

New Rates Announced by the
Pullman Company,
RESULT Of THE LOTUS SUIT
Complaint of St. Paul Man Finally
Brings About Reduction in
Sleeping Car Charges.

Chicago, Dec. 2.-General reduction
of the rates for upper Pullman berths
and in certain instances for lower
berths were announced before Com
missioners Franklin K. Lane and E. E.
Clark of the interstate commerce COM
mission by G. S. Fernald Of the Pull
man company. No testimony in the
cases before the commission was
taken.
The reduction in upper berth rates
offered is 20 per cent where the lower
berth rate exceeds $3.50. Various re-
ductions are announced for the rates
on lower berths in specific instances.
The hearing, at which the promise
of reduction was made, was rehear-
ing of the petition of George S. Lof-
tus of St. Paul against the Pullman
company, the point at issue being the
upper berth rates between Chicago
and the Pacific coast. Last March the
interstate commerce commission or
dered a reduction in the rates for both
upper and lower berths and the Unit
ed States circuit court enjOined the
enforcement Of this order. Instead, it
directed that rehearing be held.
The offer of the Pullman company
proving satisfactory to the ''plaintiH
before the commission no testimony
in the rehearing was heard.
Minimum Rate Is 1925.
thereafter the minimum rate for up
per berths will be $1.25, instead Of
$3.50" said Mr.. Fernald, who is assist,
ant general solicitor of the Pullman
company.
I'VE have not prepared all our ia
bles establishing the new rates." eX-
planned Mr.. Fernald, but we are work
ing on them as fast as possible.
I'VE decided that although the up
per berths cost more to build, furnish
and maintain than the lower public
discrimination against the uppers re
quired a reduction in their price.
Where the lower berth is rated at
$3.50 the upper berth will be $125,
and in all instances other than this
the upper berths will cost 80 per cent
of the lower.
mot rate has been raised by this
new schedule. but we are endeayoring
to adjust all charges to correspond
with the Eastern standard of mills

Lower berths from st. Paul and
Minneapolis to Seattle and intermedi-
ate Pacific coast points are reduced
from $12 to $11 The rate on upper
berths was made $3.50"

Chicago, Dec 1.-THE hunting sea
son of 1910, which closed Wednesday
cost 113 lives. This is considerably
more than were killed during any
previous season of which there is any
eecord. The loss of life in 1909 was
eighty-seven, in 1908 fifty seven, in
1907 eighty and in 1906 seventy-four
The number of injured this season,
however, is less than year ago; only
eighty-one have been hurt this year
against 104 for the season of 1909.
1t is likely the death list this year
will be considerably increased later by
reason of fatal termination in the

THE SALVATION ARMY ANNUAL
SELF-DENIAL EFFORT.

1t will be noticed that the Saliva
tion Army week of prayer and self
denial Is fixed to commence on Sun
day, April TO- to Sunday, April IT.
The effort is an annual one, and
has now become recognized institu-
tion all over the world, and is sup
ported by all grades of religious and
philanthropic people.
We understand that there is a spe-
cial urgent call this year for the ex-
ercise of the self-denial spirit, as the
Salvation Army has embarked upon
several daring projects for the up
lifting of mankind both at home and
abroad.
BY all accounts the work of this
great organization goes on apace,
moved largely, no doubt, by the ex-
ample of its aged general. His fol-
lowers seem to be reaching their
hands out in every direction, and
they are every year giving fresh and
more convincing proofs of the value
of their work, especially in the Unit
ed States, and claim the nations sup
port. Here in this town we are not
without the evidence OF its useful
ness in reaching and uplifting class
of people untouched by any other So
ciety.
The local corps, under the COM
mand of Adjutant and Mrs. Westa-
colt, is making preparations to make
this worthy effort success. The in
tention is to raise a considerable sum,
to be devoted to this particular fund
We hope, therefore, that our readers
will render what help they can when
