FIRE CAUSED PANIC.
Six Rescued from Burning
Broadway Hotel.
american News Service,

New York, May 6.-More than 100
guests were driven in panic from the
Hotel Churchill at 14th street and
Broadway when fire broke out in the
basement shortly before s o'clock this
morning. Three alarms were turned
in within half an hour.
The fire spread to the Gophir Dia-
mond cOmpany's store adjoining the
hotel and then to the jewelry estab-
lishment Of II. Schioss.
From there II went to the store of
the Truly Warner Hat company.
In the first hour half a dozen fire.
men were overcome and were taken
unconscious from the buildings.
One hundred guests were in the ho-
tel when the flames were discovered.
Through prompt work on the part of
Lewis Day, clerk. and the hotel force,
they were aroused and all but six
reached the street in safety. The six
consisted of four women and two chill
dren. One of the women was blind.
All of them were rescued after heroic
work by the firemen.
Among the six firemen overcome
was Captain Hanley of Engine COM
pany IA, whose condition was report
ed critical.
The Hotel Churchill was formerly
the Morton House.

those interested in the movement,
says:
BE Prepared in mind by having

right moment and be willing to do it.
BE Prepared in body by making your

Excerpts from Guide.
The following excerpts from the
Guide laws explain the purposes of the
organizations:
"A guides first duty is to her home.
She will gladly forego pleasure of any
kind for the sake of that duty.
"A guide will endeavor to do a good
turn to some one every day. In add
ton to being helpful in her own home
she will visit the sick and help the
poor and be ready to assist others at
all times.
"A guide will be honorable and
trustworthy and woman-like in speech
and behavior.
"A guide will be simple and modest
in dress, never wearing anything ex.
travagant or extreme in fashion or
material.
"A guide will be respectful and ODE
dent to her parents and teachers and
officers.
"a guide will be on the lookout for
girls who are strangers, lonely, home
sick or unhappy, and be ready to help
them.
"9A guide must take at least a hall
hours exercise every day, unless ex
cused by the advice of a physicion
She will sleep and work in the open
air as much as possible.
"A guide will be cheerful at all
times and under all circumstances and
endeavor to carry cheer and sunshine
wherever she goes"
The plan of organization is similar
to that of the Boy Scouts. A patrol

I'VE hear great deal OF talk IL
these days about woman's rights, as
ii the rights OF men and women were
not equal" Mr.. Ferry said, In discuss
ing the aims OF the movement. "A
mans right is to be a man and MI
mans place in the world in manly
way. A woman's right, is to be WON
an and fill a woman's place In q WON
anly way. And. although each is de
signed to a different sphere. the one
is absolutely necessary to the other
and both are equal in importance.
i Women set the standard OF conduct
in this world and they should study Il
cultivate personalities that will be ex
emrlary in refinement and in nobility
of life and character. The Girl Guides
of America will. therefore. be not onl,
guides to usefulness. but will endeav
or to be guides to the highest ideals
and best life of mankind"

At the Murray.

The bill at the Murray theater this
week will be good one. The major
portion of the time allotted to the per-
Torrance will be taken up by Rozells
Minstrels. The minstrel company has
an elaborate stage setting and for a
vaudeville company has large num-
Der of players. Their program is re-
plete with customary minstrel jokes
and they are especially strong in their
instrumental music numbers. Half a
score or more solo numbers of popu-
lar songs are clever and well rendered,
and encores are frequent. The open
ing scene exhibits the deck of the bat
the minstrel company are suggestive
of naval environment, both in their
scenes and costumes. During shifting
scenes and the three-minute intermis-
sion the Four Harmony Kings delight
their audience with their melodies pro-
duced in manner similar to an anvil
chorus. "A Glimpse of Dixieland," a
dainty southern spectacle. introduc-
ing the southern melody Way Down
in Tennessee" produces the effect of
a southern cotton field and a bunch of
rollicking niger cotton pickers go
through some of their pranks and sing
songs. The scene is delightful one.

Not the least important feature of

No woman ever braved the perils

companions.
The Lion Lassoer.
Almost as famous, although in an
entirely different field of adventure,
is Ambrose Means, who followed for.

The Ancient East Still Survives.
The country is still pretty much as
1t has been for millenniums. The cities
are now hidden under the debris Of
ages, and the thriving commerce of
that older day has disappeared along
with the marching legions. But the
wayside wells are identical with those
at which the thirsty soldiers used to
drink. The khans are built of mud
and straw, and are after the same type
as were known to the travellers before
different from that primitive khan in
Bethlehem wherein was born the
worlds Conqueror.
The dust from passing caravans en-
grimes the traveller. The soft-fOoted
camels who now come swaying along
with serpent necks, are laden with
cans of American kerosene. The bull
lock carts with their primitive solid
wooden wheels, bear material for the
construction Of the Bagdad railway. A
bent stick still serves for a plow.

The TurkisI, Way With Railroads.

Railroads are running two-thirds of
the way across this great Anatolian
plain, and the construction is being
pushed forward through the Taurus
mountains. There is a train a day in
each direction, carrying both passen-
gers and freight. The cars are built
On the European model, with compart-
ments The trains do not run at night,
and the first night out from Smyrna is
spent, nolens volens, at a miserable
native inn where the proprietor thinks
it strange that guests are not willing
to crowd three into room, and even
insist upon clean bedding. The train
starts at day-break, for Turkish time
is constantly changing quantity. Sun
set is II o'clock, so that clocks and
watches must change every day. The
natives generally take their time from
the call to prayer in the minarets.
Eventually the time tables will be
printed "a la Frank" as they call
things European out here.
The train from Smyrna connects
with that from Constantinople at a
picturesque ancient city, Aphion Kara
Hissar, where there is a fortress that
seems more impregnable and imposing
than Gibraltar. There is an hours
interval between trains. Undertaking
to spend part of this time in the ba-
zaars, returned ten or fifteen minutes
ahead of the time scheduled for the
departure of the train, only to see it
pulling out across the plain. | was
cheerfully informed that as there was
very little freight that day, the train
had started ahead of time! This

son was the American pastor of the

running, this city will be an important
point, and a popular objective for tour

Modern machinery will be brought in
to the country. New hotels and vii
lagos are already coming into exis-
tence. Irrigation is bound to follow
and the advent of western fashions
will transform the life of Asia Minor.
The linking of Constantinople with the
northern Mediterranean region will
bring hundreds of tourists, and all
they imply.
The scenery in the Taurus noun
tains is beautiful beyond description.
The mountains of Scotland are not
comparable with it, and it ranks with
the best of the Rockies and SwitZer-
land Some of the peaks are snow
covered all the year round. There are
majestic gorges and precipices and
vistas. The natural beauties are en-.
HANGED by frequent remains of antiq.
uities.
In the narrowest part of the Cilician
Gates is chiselled a tablet recording
the passage of Marcus Aurelius. Ro-
man milestones dot the road, although
in some cases they have been altered
to bear Turkish numerals. The IA
nous Cilician Gates proper have
proved too difficult for the railway en-
gineers, so they go through an upper
pass, which they consider somewhat
easier. At best the engineering diff
culties will be great. Once the noun
tains have been crossed, the railway
debouches upon the great Ciliciar
| plain beyond which sparkles the Medi
terranean.
Nobody is willing to prophesy how
| long it will take the railroad to cross
from Adana above the head OF the
Mediterranean to Aleppo and ther

day does come, it will be a notable
event in eastern politics as well as in

are those who say that the Germans

Tarsus, Asia Minor.-The main high
ways of history run across Asia Minor.
This has been the route for uncounted
centuries of the armies of conquest,
and the peaceful caravans of trade,
journeying from Asia to Europe or
from Europe to Asia. Here are the
footprints of Cyrus and Darius, Nebu-
chadneZZar and Alexander the Great,
the Caesars, the Crusaders, the Turks
and the Arabs, and such distinguished
individual travellers as the Apostle
Paul.
He who goes on foot or wheel today
will find himself travelling the iden-
teal route built by the, Romans, and
crossing old Roman bridges. AS he
notes the sites of battles or camps, he
will be able to see in the CONFORMATION
of the ground why they We're so
chosen. The trip l have just made is
a wonderful commentary upon the
books we studied in school and upon
the history of the early Christian
church.

great cities of classic literature, the

The next night is spent at Konia-
the ancient Iconium, where the Apos-

hotel in the interior of Asia Minor.
Meerschaum quarries, a mission school
and interesting archaeological excava-
tons are the notable sights of Konia.
Again starting at daybreak, Bregli is
reached about noon. For practical
purposes this is the present end of
the Bagdad railway. 1t is a small,
dusty, malarial town, without a hotel

wagons or horses are taken for the
overland journey to Tarsus.
Travellers in Arahas.
The process of securing arabas,
which are diminutive prairie schoon-
ers, with entrances at the sides, re-
sembles a small riot. Everything in
the Orient must be done with great
noise, and before terms are finally
made with one driver, it looks IS if
blood would be shed. The journey
across the plain takes three nights
and parts of four days. The govern

DROPPED TRUNkFUL OF G'S
Peculiar Exhibit Used by Mrs. Bill
tops for the Reformation of
Her Husband.

Ezra" said Mrs. Billtops to her
admiring husband, Il have something
here that l desire you should see"
and as she spoke she threw back the
lid of big trunk in the storeroom.
The trunk was full, level full, of q
vast number of little things of uni
form size that might have been oats
or grains of wheat, but which upon q
little closer inspection seemed to be
small type letters.
They are letters, Ezra" said Mrs
Billtops; they are the g's you have
dropped in the last three years"
And the meaning of this exhibit
was clear to Mr.. Billtops instantly
he was not really a dull man; it was
not necessary to hit him with maui
to make him understand things. Mr.
Billtops has always been great man
for dropping his g's. Whether from
carelesSneSs or laZineSs or economy
of his speech, or whatever his prompt
ing, he has always said SEEM for
seeing, and bein' for being, and dom
for doing, and this has always dis
turbed Mrs. Billtops. Time and again
she has sought to get him in this re-
spect to mend his ways, but habit has
proved too strong for him, and so
finally she resolved to give him an OBJ
ject lesson.
Three years ago, Ezra she said,
"unbeknown to you [ began gathering
up the g's you dropped in speaking.
I started out to keep them in an empty
fruit jar, but | soon found that
wouldn't do, in fact | was appalled,
by the number | collected.
81 found that much as you had dis
turbed me in this way l had still
never realized how bad you were; so
[ began storing them in this trunk,
and here you see, Ezra, trunkful
of gs that you have dropped in three
years. Don't you think that is terri
ble?"
Mr.. Billtops freely admitted that it
certainly was; and then and there in
the presence of that open trunk he
vowed a reform. If she would throw
away those g's, he said, right now, to
the last one, he would most earnestly
endeavor always to remember to make
it ever impossible for her to start an
other collection.

Much of it resembles the west in parts

ancient glory may be restored at any

made his name a synonym for riches,

aral water, which was known and used
,ong before the Christian era, will. in

region, become a commodity for the
