SMALL REGISTRATION
FOR THE CITY PRIMARY
BOOKS CLOSE ON MONDAY AND
ONLY ABOUT SIX HUNDRED
HAVE QUALIFIED.

Unless there is a great rush to the
office of City Clerk Russell during
the remaining four days left IN
which to register, there will be only
about 700 voters qualified to partici-
pate in the primary to be held next
month, at which mayor and four
aldermen will be nominated.
When the books were first opened
the registration started off so brisk
that. it was thought the total would
go upwards of 500, but the voters
have not registered at such a rapid
rate during the past two weeks. When
the books closed yesterday approx
mately 900 had qualified for the pri-
mary and it is not expected that more
than 100 more will register before the
books close Monday afternoon.
II seems that the people OF the city
generally are manifesting very little
interest in the present campaign, and,
there is opposition for mayor
and two of the aldermanic places, as
yet no interest has been aroused.

TO SAVE CHILDREN

She leaped but missed the net. Her
limbs and body were broken and
bruised in numerous places and deatn)
was instantaneous.
Mother Frances Pasteur and Sis
ters Peter Claver Steven and Leaca-
dia Nolan were unable to escape from
the building and met death in the
veritable furnace, their lifeless bod
les falling to the ground, with
mass of burning debris The cnarreG
remains of these Sisters were recov
cred by firemen at o'clock, four
hours after the breaking out of the
fire.
The rescue of the orphans from
death in the fire is considered re-
markable. Fire Chief Wright, one of
the first on the scene after the
alarm had been sounded, declared
that the self-sacrifioe of the nuns
was all that saved the little ones.
While one child is known to have
been burned to death, another is
missing, and it is feared it, too, is
dead.
All Gave Heroic Assistance.

attention to the saving of the chill
dren, others from the hospital gave
assistance. In the rescue work Right
Rev. Bishop j. w. Shaw rendered val
liable service in carrying little orpn-
ans from the asylum. These children,
some of whom were babies were un-
able to help themselves. Even the
older children, just aroused from a
sound slumber, were unable to get
about with much rapidity.
Father" Hume, the chancellor, and
Father Duffy, chaplain, also risked
their lives in the rescue of the orph-
ans. Time and again they rushed in
to the building to return with some
child lost in the excitement and con-
fusion.
When the fire chief and the first
apparatus reached the scene the nre
had spread throughout the entire
structure. The roof was gone and
great openings in the walls eaten
away by the fire caused draft that
famed the fire into greater fury. The
heat was intense.
The origin of the fire is not yet
known.
The dead nuns belonged to the Sis
ters of Charity of the Incarnate

ATTENDING PHYSICIANS DID NOT
EXPECh HIM TO LIVE
UNTIL MORNING.
ALL HOPE NOW ABANDONED
His Death is Now Only a Question
Of Hours" Said the Attending
Physician Late Yesterday After
noon-Name to Remain on Ticket.

Utica, N. Y, Oct 30.-Vice Presl-
dent Sherman is not expected to live
throughout the night Late this aft
ernoon DR.. Peck, who has been at
tending the vice president during his
illness, said "Vice President Sher-
mans death is question OF only a
few hours. 1t is hardly possible for
him to live throughout the night"
DR.. Peck said further that Mr..
Sherman's kidneys had reused to
act since o'clock yesterday and that
most of the time since his patient had
been in comatose condition. For
few minutes early this morning, he
was awake, but he was delirious, He
soon dropped off to sleep and has
remained oblivious to the world since.
He has not been rational since last
Monday night,
1t Is understood that the uremic
condition which causes apprehension
has not been relieved. a
The afternoon bulletin on Vice
IIOotuSuL OuSIllldu COltulLAUn says
there is no favorable symptom what
ever. The attending physicians hold
out no hope, but say it is impossible
to determine when the end will come.
Information is not given out very
freely, but it Is understood that the
comatose condition has continued un-
broken throughout the day, and that
the urmemia remains unchanged. The
extremely critical condition of the
patient has caused many rumors of
the death of the vice president and
local newspaper offices have been
CODED with inquiries.
DR.. Peck Is entirely without hope
for his patient, but says it is i'm
possivle to determine just when the
end will come.
AT 2.30 o'clock a report came from
Mr.. Sherman's bedside that his con-
dition was still most critical, and no
hope was held out by DR.. Peck. Kid
neys were still unacting and life was
sustained only by the patients great
natural vigor.

Should he die before election day,

BURNED BY ACID.
Accident TO Frank Gauss at Experiment
Station.

Mr.. Frank Gauss, a highly thought
of young man of this city, and grad
uate of the Annapolis High School and
St. Johns College, was the victim of
a painful accident yesterday after
noon at the Naval Experimental Sta
ton, opposite the Naval Academy.
Mr.. Gauss was working among
some chemicals in the laboratory at
the Experimental Station when,
suddenly, there was an explosion, and
he wa; very badly burned about
the face, hands and arms. He was
removed to the Naval Hospital and
while his injuries are painful, they are
not thought to be serious.
Mr.. Gauss is doing as well as can be
expected under existing conditions.
Explosions of chemicals have occur
red before the the Naval Academy
laboratories, and in one of them Mr..
Herman REIN, of West Annapolis, lost
his eyesight.
Upon inquiry at the naval hospital
this morning it was ascertained that
Mr.. Gauss is resting as comfortably
as possible and is doing nicely. The
burns, while painful, are superficial,
none being very deep, and it is thought
there will be no deep scars. as the
result of the burns by the explosion of
the acid.
