BURN MANSION FOR A SHOW
Promoters Get Realistic Views of Fire,
Rescue and Bucket Brigade At
tempting to Quench Flames.

New Rochelle, N. Y.-The historic
Sicard mansion, built ESQ years ago
by a Huguenot family, and the scene
of many festive meetings of aristocrat-
ic society in colonial days, is mass
of blackened ruins today. 1t was sac
rifced to furnish a spectacle for a
motion picture film. The site of the
house was recently purchased for a
new Episcopal church, and the old
mansion, offered at auction, was bid
in by moving picture company.
With the permission of the city au-
thorities the company set fire to the
house in order to obtain a series of
realistic pictures of the rescue of a
child, village bucket brigade in &C
ton, and mourning family viewing
the ruins.

ented recluse who has lived here in
howell that was once a stable, for
many years. Disguised, he said, with
everything pertaining to modern life,
Bauman determined to rear his foster
son in the atmosphere of a by-gone
age. The classic tongue of Rome was
the only language taught to the boy
by his eccentric parent, who was we'll
able to follow his part, he having been
q noted Latin scholar in Europe.
When the lad was ten years old he
possessed a knowledge of Latin that
the school taught youth of twice his
age could not hope ever to equal Now,
he speaks the ancient tongue so we'll
and reads and writes it with such
fuency that he may well be said to
have revived a dead language.
The elder Bauman's desire to bring
up the boy in an atmosphere of aloof-
ness from all that is modern has been
well carried out. The youth has never
ridden on a train, used a telephone or
in any way mingled in the life Of the
village, which, narrow as it is, repre-
sents to him the great outside world,
full OF evils and temptations.

All the summer houses the trellis ETC., which

frame construction, the wood usually being paint
ed white, and the garden walls which on some
estates supplement the hedges are of brick. the
gardens established too long ago to admit
of the introduction of the concrete products
which have done much for the establishment
of the latter-day garden. Almost without excep-
ton, however, garden structures are so heavily
vine clad that the material of their construction
makes very little difference in appearances Out
side the strictly tropical vegetation there are few
flowers or trailing vines that will not grow lux
uriant1y in the kindly Virginia climate and this
fact accounts for the variety of vegetation in the
old gardens.

1900 Eoreiun Girls Lost.

Indianapolis, Ind.-"Eighteen hun
dred immigrant girls were lost track
of after having been received at Ellis
island, and put aboard trains for Chi
cago and other points in the west, in
the last year and half" Miss Grace
Abbott of Hull House, Chicago, said
in discussing in the biennial conven-
ton of the Young Women's Christian
association of America, the problem
or caring for immigrant girls. Miss
Abbott advocated a federal immigra-
ton bureau in Chicago, 'as a check
on the work of the white slavers.'
Immigrant girls deserted the quaint
shawls and aprons Of their native
lands for the hobble skirt all too
quickly, Miss Abbott said

Chicago has it's skyscrapers, but it

New York. The Singer building, with
it's tower lifting 612 feet above the

the wonder of Gotham before the Met

quite how high. What is to be the de-
terminating factor of the future in re-

TO Be IS STORIES
Gotham Office Building TalIest
in the World.
Structure Rises One-Seventh of a Mile
From the Ground-Exceeded in
Height Only by the
Eiffel Tower.

New York.-Men will be at work
one-seventh of a mile from the ground
and in all Of the 55 stories of the new
Woolworth building before the end of
next year, the time appointed for
completion of the tallest business
structure in the world. Laid out fat
the giant building would be longer
than three city blocks, and Salvatore
record speed for mile would make IA
seconds the time necessary for the
champion to cover the distance. Only
the Eiffel tower in Paris. a steel skel-
eton, will exceed in height this new
est New York pinnacle.
Higher and higher do our skyscrap-
ers soar, outtopping everything but
the mephitic clouds of smoke from
their own boilers; deeper and deeper
do they thrust down through the soil
until their massive steel roots find an
chorage in the rock below. The true
Titans of the modern world are the
builders, heaving their tons of steel
and stone and brick aloft in defiance
of the law of graYitation and the winds
of heaven and daring even the earth
quake to confound their work in ruin.
Besides these modern giants of struc-
tural efficiency the builders of the
early world were but pygmies playing
with blocks in the nursery. How
high will the skyscraper of the fu-
ture mount? Has the physical limit
been reached, or will the man-made

The Gutenberg Bible was printed

bldg. They were made out In favor
Of James Matthews.
All the checks were returned as
worthless, Tuesday. Each OF them
was for SIS. Then the victims learn
ed there was no such contracting firm
in the Tecumseh building. Harry
Rosenthal, No. 220 Randolph-st., was
the first victim to appear in police
headquarters. He said the stranger
came there, Saturday night, bought
rbout 81 worth Of goods and pre-
scented a check for $50, receiving $14
in change.
