st. Louis, April 1i.-Fire late to-
day. due to an explosion, the cause
of which has not been explained, en-
dangered the lives of 200 persons,
mostly women and girls at the build
ing at S17, $40 and s21 Washington
avenue, lofts used principally by
manufacturers of mems and women's
wear.
All escaped except one youth, Rob-
ert Mayer, nineteen years old, who
was found dead from burns in an in
closed stairway on the fifth floor OF
the building at Si9 Washington ave-
nue..
A fireman, Captain Thomas Cor
man, of the salvage corps, was
knocked from ladder by falliag
brick and his skull was fractured lie
probably will die.
That more did not lose their lives
is marveled at by the fire chief an
his assistants, who arriving upon the
scene five minutes after general
alarm was sounded found the build
ings belching flame and smoke from
every window.
A patrolman, the first person out
side the building to be appraised OF
the fire, climbed fire escape and ny
believing threats and entreatles to
the panic stricken men and women
scrambled out upon the window
ledges, turned them back to the safety
exits
Nearly a hundred women and girls
on the seventh floor, shrieked in ter
ror in the belief that they were rope-
lessly trapped. One Of their nun her
discovered an exit to a roof adjoining
on the east. Few feet below the level
of the floor where they We're imprls-
oned. All leaped nimbly to this roof
and a few minutes later descended the
fire escape. some by themselves ana
the more excited and timid ones as
sisted by firemens
Those on the other floors desce~d-
ed safely and with little confusion.
The report that girl had leaned
from the second floor to the street
and was injured proved erroneous
The loss to the building and stock
and machinery of the half dozen
firms occupying them will not ry-
ceed 100000. The owner of the
building estimated that of this loss,
s65,000 is covered by insurance.

Eagle Pass. Texas, April 14.--owing
to Minister Limantour's inability to
control conflicting authorities, Fran
cisco Madero, sr., tonight announced
that he had abandoned his mission
OF peace.
He made this statement after hav-
ing been held two hours in his private
car at C. r. Dlaz on the Mexican side
and one member of the party had
been saved from arrest only by siren
uous efforts.
Senior Madero stated that he would
suggest to his men in the field that
the government appoint commission
to treat with a similar commission to
be appointed by him. The party will
return in all probability to San An
tonic.
The peace commissioners. Francisco
/. Madero. ST., his son, Alfonso and
Raphael Hernandez, arrived here this
evening from San Antonio. They
were joined in this city by Catarlno
Benavides, cousin of Francisco. II
was Benevides who narrowly escaped
incarceration in the filthy C. p. Das
Jail.
The experience here was a more
serious repetition of the Eel Paso fl
asco. The Maderos proceeded to that
city week ago upon receipt of a tele-
gram from the government stating
that federal passports awaited them
there. They were never found.
A similar telegram brought the en-
voys to this city and again they could
General Trevino at Monterey and the
latter by telegraph ordered Colonel
Pena, the post commander at G. p.
Diaz to issue passports. In despera.
tion Senior Madero decided to take
chances with his liberty on this un-
satisfactory guarantee.
The party had hardly entered the
car when the custom officials insist
ed on searching the baggage. It re-
quired much showing OF telegrams to
placate them
The next trouble appeared In the
form of an unkempt district judge
who insisted on arresting Benevades
on warrant which he did not eXhib-
it, charging him with being a revolu-
ZIONIST.
In vain Benavides showed his pass
port and would have been taken to
jail but for the instance OF Senor
Madero that Colonel Pena had pledg-
ed his word for their safety and must
at least return them to an American
jail. General Trevino, commanding
the military zone, was appealed to at
Monterey and in reply ordered that
no member Of the party be molested.
lie urged that the train be allowed TO
depart At this point Senior Madero
threw up his hands and his mission
at the same time.
IF the government cannot enforce
its orders there is no safety for us in
Mexico he said. II shall not try
again"
"viva El Constitution, said the
elder Madero as the carriage passed

tlonal line.

Secretary of State Huntington Wilson
today wired Colonel w. II. Hoabird,
ment company, that immediate steps
would be taken to protect the entire
canal system in Lower California. Col
onel Holablrd had appealed to Presi

it WAS almost impossible to keep men
at work on the canals while the rebels
and federals were ranging through
this territory and that the canals
were therefore deterioratlng.
The matter is of great importance
to the Imperial valley, which has to
depend upon Mexican sources for its
entire water supply.

Largest Egg In The World.

The largest egg in the world has recently been on
exhibition in the Museum of Natural History New
York 1t is the egg of the gigantic extinct bird call
ed Epyornis, which formerly lived in considerable
numbers on the Island Of Madagascar. This was
huge wingess creature the largest and most formid
able bird that ever trod the earth. In life it has
been variOusly estimated to have stood from seven
to twelve feet in height possessing massive and pow
erfu limbs This great bird surpassed the ostrich,
the king of modern birds both in size and herculean
strength though it closely resembed in build all the
members of the family of which the ostrich is type
such the emu of Australia, the extinct moa, ETC.
The epynoris egg is six times larger than that of
the ostrich, having capacity of two gallons, or the
capacity of 80 hen eggs. Here are some Of the as
tonshng dimensions of the big egg The she'll is a
bout one-eight of inch thick, the lengthwise CIR
cumference is two feet eight inches, and two feet
two inches round the middle Though termed fos-
sill egg it is not peied or turned to hard stone as
in the case of dnosaur bones. 1t is in surprisingly
perfect condition. unbroken, and has yellow color,
although finels pitted in places. The contents have
not been removed as they have turnedto fine dust
which comes out when the egg is handled through
small natural perforation one side-Ihe Christian

Some Wives Like Cackling Hen.

If the old story about the hen that cackled cucked
and Topped and threw herself into what these days
would be fashionably called nervous prostration"
because the little ducks she had Matched went swim
ming were made. to suit human conditions she did
cluck and cackle and flop when the little girl ducks
swan off, saving all this windmill emotion in which
females are prone to indulge, for the moment when
she saw the little brakes step into the water.
For those of the of the hen are always satisfied
to let those of their set 60 nature intended.
Their mission on the bank is to correct anything in
the male sex which doesn't meet with their approval.
woman doesn't approve of what eats nor
the way he eats it. She reads the latest novel; mis-
taking what is latest for BEST and looks on him as
one who is not well read because in his rare moments
for reading he reads the good and the old. She
turns to the society In her paper and he turns
to the sports in his, and largely because of his pre-
ference she classes all sports under the heading OF
vuigarity.
Because she prefers dough-faced Madonna to his
duck hunting scene, she believes she has a higher
sense of the artistic, which is strengthened when he
makes fun of her kind of poetry and laughs at sand
wiches tied up in ribbon.
1t is she who makes the barefoot dance both possi-
BILE and permissible, and walls at his blindness to the
grace and beauty of motion when ne says the bare
human foot wouldn't lock good if each toe were
bound around with bow of baby blue ribbon.
The coors in a tree appeal to her and the lumber
in it appeals to him. and all the clucking cackling
and Topping in the world won't change him.
She is chagrned because he is awkward in society,
forgetting that the awkward man in society is usual
" the thoroughbred III business.
She demands that he be an ideal host, though she
knows he would rather eat alone at the kitchen table
than preside at the most bountiful meal if company
is there and calls this dislike to disembe cordiaty
'boorishness' and g 'inhospitality.'
She reveres the chafing dsh and believes he lacks
all social grace because he has higher regard for its
Cinderella sister. the frying pan.
He remains fond of the friends he enjoyed when
his income was half what it is, and because of this
fondness she charges him with lacking social ambi-
ton
He hates crocheted things and she knows it, but
the day he tells her of his love she gets out crochet
needle and begins something for him, and this croch
ct needle is in evidence the rest of his life.
He remains TO the end very much as the Lord
made him. and to the end of the chapter she nags,
and pinches ard moulds and touches him up here
and there trying to make him over.
Why? Because she is firmly of the opinion that if
she doesn't stand on the bank and cluck and cackle
and flop her wings he will get drowned
And she does all this because she cloves" him.

The Way To Look At 1t.

Don't make the mistake of weighing advertising
by what it costs. 1t is impossible to pay too much
for advertising if it pays. Nothing is cheaper
than costly advertising that brings big, profitable
advertising that brings no results. If newspaper
charges you 50 cents a line and every line brings
you dollar profit you have got regular Klondike.
If a newspaper charges you 90 cents square foot
and YOU never heard from it, you arr pouring money
into rat hole Advertising is merchandise Buy
the kind you can make profit on, no matter what
it costs. Have nothing to do with the Improbable
kind, no matter how low the price is.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, March THE cotton
market opened steady at an advance
OF los points on covering and In re-
Spouse to better cables than due, but
quickly broke under a renewal of yes
terday's selling movement, which re-
fiected unfavorable trade report and the
continued relatively free crop move
ment. Inside of the first half hour
prices sold into new low ground for the
movement, or to a net loss of about 5Q
8 points. with May touching 14.o5, 80
per bale below the high level of last
week. There was considerable buying
on this decline, partly by Liverpool
houses, who were believed to be over
Ing straddles, and partly by trade in
t~erests, which In connection with profit
taking by recent sellers caused a rally
to about the closing prices of last night
during the middle of the morning.
Demand became a little more general
on the advance from the early low point
owing to private cables from Liverpool
claiming that large American spot and
speculative interests were combining in
the matter of taking up cotton on con-
tracts there. and prices sold up to a
net advance of about sos points dur
ing the late forenoon. After the close
of Liverpool and the withdrawal of
straddle buying, prices eased off Slight
~, but the market was steady at mid
day, with prices holding a net gain Of
about 1@4 points.

LACKAWANNA ACTION MAY
START IMMIGRANT WAR.

NEW YORK. March with the
withdrawal of the L~ackawanna from
the immigrant committee of the
Trunk Line Association and the
placing of its w agents on
Ellis Island to get all this business
it can. as well as first and second class
steamship traffic, regardless OF how its
competitors may view its procedure, IT
looks on the surface as though a big
and long-threatened crisis has been
reached in the relations between the
steamship companies n the rail car
riers.
Even though the Lackawanna is out
of the committee and making the live
Hest kind of a drive for business, 1t is
believed that negotiations to restore old
relations are being actively conducted,
but not without great anxiety. because
the destruction of the Western immi-
grafton bureau is threatened. If it
should collapse all the Western roads,
by which it was organized, will be
dragged into the conflict, and the long,
familiar struggle which 1t ended will
be resumed.
