FAMouT ACTOR REMEMBERED.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Jan. 25.-The
fact that today was the centennial
anniversary of the birth of James e.
Murdoch was recalled by the inmates
of the Forrest Home for Aged Actors,
some of whom were personal friends
and professional associates of the
great actor. Mr.. Murdoch, who was
one of the last of the celebrated ac-
tors of the old school, of which For
rest, Macready and the elder Booth
were the chief exponents, WAS born
in Philadelphia. Jan. %. 1911, and
much of his professional career was
closely identified with this city. Ii
was OH the stage of the old Arch street
theater, in 1899, that he made his
first appearance behind the footlights,
and later he became manager of the
Chestnut Street theater. After making
numerous successful tours of the Unit
ed States and Canada, and also ap.
pearing in England, Mr Murdoch re-
tired from the stage and spent his
declining years on farm near Gin
cinnati. where he died in 1898, aged
SO.

ANOTHER PIONEER PASSES.

When the news came yesterday that
John w. Strayer was seriously i'll, to
be followed the same hour by the
word that he was dead, 1t was a shock
to his friends. many of whom did not
know that he was worse than usual.
For the past two years Mr.. Strayer
had suffered from Brights disease,
and grew SO much worse toward the
and of the year Just past. that his sys-
TEN was very susceptible to atmos.
pheric conditions. He took cold easily
and toward the end of December was
attacked with pneumonia, from which
he did not recover. being confined to
his bed since Dec. 26.
Every one in southwestern Colorado
knew Johnny Strayer, as he was ia
miliarly called. His long residence in
this section of more than thirty years
enrolled him among the pioneers. and
made him one OF the best known fig.
ures in this part of the state.
Mr.. Strayer was native of Ohio,
being born there Mar. 2S, 1851. He
came west soon after reaching man.
hood and first located In Colorado
Springs, where he entered the meat
market business with Milton Mark.
at one time president of the Colorado
Stock Growers association, and a well
known resident of this state.
Within a few years, Mr.. Strayer
moved to Ouray and later went to
La Plata city. There he went into
the hotel business which he followed
until few years ago. Mr.. Strayer
also gave much attention to mining
and at the time OF his death
owned some valuable property in the
La Platas. A few years ago he sold
the Cincinnati, one of the famous Tom
Boy group near Telluride. He was
public spirited and served many years
on the school board of La Plata City.
He was a kindly man, with a friendly
manner and ready flow of language,
which added to a wide experience
made him an interesting conversa-
iionalist. A few years ago the fam
ly moved to Durango, Mrs. Strayer
having charge of the La Plata room
ng house.
Besides his wife, daughter, Mrs
Mclean, and a son, Gerald, are left to
mourn his loss. These were all at
mis- bedside when the end came. A
YER. is unable to be present on ac.
count OF Illness.
The funeral procession leaves the
Hood & Ames undertaking par.ors to
morrow afternoon at o'clock. Serv.
Ices will be held at the First M. e

KILLED BY
EXPLOSION
of Ammonia
Tanks Kills and
Injuries Many

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 25.-In an ex.
Dloslon of large tank containing am
monia in the Locust laundry at Ninth
and Locusts streets, here today, one
woman was killed, fifteen to twenty
more or less badly injured and $50
other employees, mostly young women
thrown into Wild panic. Fortunate
ly FIRE did not follow the explosion.
The woman killed was Jennie Hall,
an elderly emDloye. who was near
the tank when the explosion occurred.
She was blown through the window
into the street. The $50 or more em-
ployes were scattered over six floors
of the establishment and they made
q wild rush for the stalrways and
fire escapes In the crush to get cut
nearly score were badly cut and
bruised.
The ammonia fumes which permeat.
ed the building added to the panic.
Firemen were quickly on hand and car.
ried out of the building dozen wo,n-
en- who were found lying on the floors
and stairways and who had tainted in
the excitement, The building was
not damaged beyond the breaking OF
the glass in the windows and front.

HINTS IN CITY PLANNING FROM
SOUTH AMERICA.

The city models most frequently
held up for Chicago's imitation have
recently Berlin. But this by no means
exhausts the list OF servlceable pat
terms. as becomes plain from the fly-
ing trip of Minister Sheriff., our rep
resentative in Argentina, who is tour.
ing American cities with the idea oil
promoting trade relations with South
America. Mr.. Sheriff., in his turn,
holds up still another model-Buenos
Ayres, which he ascribes as one OF
the worlds most beautiful and most
successfully administered capitals.
Many of the familiar problems that
yet trouble Chicago were solved by
the people of Buenos Ayres. we are
told, years ago. Their Ayenlda de
Mayo is world-famous. while our
Twelfth street boulevard is but a
distant possibility. Their municipal
docks and wbarves are n wonder, while
our outer harbor still fingers In the
eight blocks of five-story buildings
and made central park within a
month. while Chicago,s notion of a
pair Of parklets for the city hall and
county building never got beyond the
stage OF pale, faint hint,
Buenos Ayres. clearly. has few
things to teach us. One recalls It's mu.
nicipal exhibit of plans and photo
graphs at the public library a few
years ago This exhibit was not ap-
preciated at It's full value. Perhaps
1t might advantageously make us an.
other visit, or, better yet, be followed
by bigger and completor one.

Chicago hopes to do can stimulate Ber.

the things that Buenos Ayres has
actually done stimulate Chlcago?-
