CHILDREN AND PARENTS
IN FIRE PANIC IN CHURCH.
Veil Worn by Little Girl Is Ig.
nited by Candle.

BUFFALO, N. Y, April 24.-While
over 100 children were taking their
baptismal VOWS in the Church of the
Blessed Sacrament yesterday afternoon
a lighted candle came in contact with
a white veil worn by a little girl.
There was a flash OF flame and a cry
of terror as the children began to jam
into the aisles.
A nan jumped forward and wrapped
his coat about the blazing garments
of the child. The danger was over in
a moment, but the children could not
be checked in their flight, and the par
ents, who had been seated in the side
pews, fearing for the safety of their
little ones, jcined in the excitement.
The little girl, Violet Welsh, 9 years
old, was only slightly burned.

Rector of st. Peters Orphanage
Says Children Would Be
Sufferers.

The proposed widening of Lyons ave-
nue. is meeting with disapproval OF the
residents of that section on all sides.
The eighty-feet widening. as intended
by the street commissioners, would de-
prive the property-owners OF choice

from passing vehicles easier access TO
the houses. They cannot see how the
change is going to benefit anybody but
the real etate spectators interested.
The Rev. Alois Stecher. rector OF st.
Peters Orphanage in Lyons avenue, to-
day declared he wished to make an
earnest protest against the plan OF
widening the avenue In behalf of the
orphanage and the Young Mems
Orphan Aid Society.
Rector Protests Emphaticaily.
Whatever may be the intention OF
the street commissioners" today de-
clared the rector, in carrying through
this improvement. I most emphatically
protest that 1t would be a detriment to

exposing its building and children to
the dirt, dust and annoyance of a fire.

BARS NEGRO NoTARIEs.
Governor BIease Would "chop Of

Columbia.-A letter sent out to the
various clerks of court indicates that
Governor Blease will refuse to ap-
prove recommendation for the
appointment of any negro as notary
public. Following the action of the
governor in revoking all former COM
missions this letter comes as no sur
prise as it5was known that he wished
to change the old form of appoint
ments.
An effort was made at the last ses-
sion of the genera 1assembly to limit
the terms Of office Of notaries public
as is done In a number OF states, but
this did not receive the favorable
consideration.
Governor Blease, in his letter, re-
quests the clerks of court, according
to the letter received by ]. F. Walker,
clerk of the Richland court, to refer
to him the application made to any
negro for appointment to this Office
and further states: 'If any of them
happen to slip through will chop off
their political heads. So far none
have been issued for Office and no
negro will be commissioned"
The law requires that notaries pub
lie file their names with the clerk Of
court.

Columbia. Governor Blease had
many things to say concerning his
veto of the appropriation measure in
25 counts, 5
He said that he intended next year
to veto the items for the state colleges
if they were as large as this year and
that he would have vetoed the items
for the running of the schools this
year if he had put the members of
the general assembly on notice. He
said that if he had vetoed the items
that it would have meant the discon-
tiuuance of the schools for II months
and that would not have been fair.
But he continued, 81 hereby put
them on notice that if the items for
the expenses of the state schools are
as high next year as they were this
year that ] will use my veto power"
He thinks that the state institutions
are receiving too much money.
Governor Blease will abolish the Of

expired that he would refuse to make

He condemned the factory inspec-
ton law as being needless and gave
final verbal decree that the in
sDectors must go.
Governor Blease said that he had
let. it generally be knbwn that he
would veto important items in the
appropriation bill and that the charge
that he had not made it known in a
way and that members of the house
and senate who left the city thinking
that the measure was safe was un-
