FIRE BRINGS PAIN
TO SMALL MOTHERS

st. Louis, Mo, March News went
early through the neighborhood that
the doll hospital. at eros Laclede av-
enue, had burned during the night and
that not of the 125 dolls had escaped.
There soon gathered on the side
walk in front of the ruins a crowd
of little mothers to ese where their
doll children had died. The tears they
wept were as bitter as any mother ev-
er shed.
The worst OF it was that every doll
was sick or crippled and MANNED.
Some had no legs, others had no arms,
some had only one eye and many had
lost both eyes.
The 125 dolls were all alone in the
dark, and the door was barred when
the fire broke out How it began or
what happened will never be known.
When the firemen came there was not
a doll left to tell of it. and there were
talking dolls and crying dolls in the
hospital, who must surely have made
some outcry.

COUNTING or NOSES
Enumeration of Population
in France Starts.
american News Scrvice)

Paris, March 4.-F'rance is undergo
ing the quinquennial process of having
its population enumerated by the gov
eminent. Tonight is the time appoint
ed for the head OF every house in the
republic to fill in the census returns,
accounting for every soul under his
roof. No person is to be overlooked,
whether he be a Frenchman or an al
len. Officials are even posted at all
railway stations and steamship land
ings so that all travellers may be sub
jected to the count.
The present census is the first taken
since March. 1906. At that time the
population of France was shown to be
39,252,245. The population of Paris
amounted to 2.763,393. an increase of
less than $4,000 inhabitants, as COM
pared with the returns of 1901.
The arrangements for this years
census are of the most exhaustive
kind and will provide statisticians
with mass Of more or less useful
figures. Information concerning in
dustries and employment will be par
ticularly complete. 1t is typical. how
ever, of France and French politics

Mr.. Hammerstein. Of New York
hopes to give the first performance a,
his new opera house at the Strand end
OF Kingsway on November /, and from
the progress already made by the
builders, 1t is safe to assume that this
hope will be realized.
The house is planned in the simplest
way, the exits being as obvious and as
easily accessible as possible. The
whole house could be cleared within
three minutes.
The auditorium will be constructed
entirely of fire resisting materials, the
roof asphalt on concrete, and the cir.
cles constructed of concrete and steel.
The prosceinum will be provided
with a safety curtain constructed of
steel framing and asbestos, which. in
case OF fire, will be lowered and tn.
tomatically flooded with water. while
on the stage itself a lantern will be ar
ranged which will open automatically,
thus causing a draught to carry away
the heat and smoke in case of fire
from the public portion of the house.
The stage will be specially con-
structed by Mr.. Hammerstein to OBJ
tain the spectacular effects, which it
Is his intention to offer London au.
diences on an exceedingly large scale.
The auditorium will be unusually
comfortable. with every slight line
effect perfect, no columns to obstruct
the view and every seat fauteuil
throughout the house.
The ground floor. below the street
level. viii be entirely devoted to stalls
and boxes, and above the stalls, sus-
pended from the circle, will be COM
plete circular tier OF boxes, each with
its own retiring room. two further
tirrs being arranged each side of the
auditorium, making total of forty
seven boxes, including a private suite
for the King.
Above the box tier will be the cir
Gle, and lower and upper galleries, the
total capacity OF these being about
2,10o.
There will be no large promenades,
the back OF the circle and the gaIlary
being screened off to aid the acoustics
ind prevent the audience being dis
turbed by promenadors.
