Greatest of Banks on Fire

From the London Mirror.
 The Bank of England was on fire last night. Happily, however. the blaze, ' which brought nearly hundred fire men to the spot, was very easily ex- tinguished. The outbreak is said to be due to an overloaded radiator and the damage was small. Within a few sec onds of the alarm the bank guard marched into the street and tok up sta tions a few paces apart from the en- trance to the bank to the tube" sub ways Fire engines came dashing up from Cannon street, Bishopgate, White chapel and the headquarters of the brigade at Southwark, while the forces were quickly augmented by other en- zines and men of the salvage corps.
 Traffic in the neighborhood of the bank was completely suspended. Large crowds gathered behind the soldiers and the police, and much excitement prevailed. By 10:S0 the fire was got under control with little difficulty.
 The Bank of England has had mil itary protection ever since the Gordon riots of 17S0, when ink stands were melted into bullets in defense of the bank. The military watch Is set every night At o'clock they march with bayonets fixed from the headquarters of whichever guards regiment has the duty for the week. The guard consists of a subaltern, a sergeant and thirty rank and file and a drummer.

She died some years ago, leaving three children, and after her death Crozier shut himself up in Gortra house and seldom saw any of his neighbors. About a year after his first wifes death his friends were astonished to learn that he had mar ried his housekeeper-some say she was his cook-and, of course, this marriage did not lead to any renewal of his rela- tons with his neighbors. One and all they boycotted the new Mrs. Crozier, who, it is now said, blamed her step- children for this social discrimination against her.
 According to the evidence given at the police court hearing one of the eX-cook' s first steps was to discharge all the ser wants and make her step-children do the work. The dead boy, John, who was 16 years old, was compelled to scrub the floors, make the fires, carry coal and wood and do all the heavy work about the house. His sister, Helena, who is IA years old was made housemaid and gen eral servant, and even George, 8 years old, was forced to do the work that had heretofore been performed by a grown woman The chldren's boots were taken away and they had to go barefoot winter and summer. Their clothing was Of the scantiest and they were never allowed to leave the grounds. Their food, it was stated, consisted of bread and tea for breakfast, potatoes for dinner and bread and tea for supper, all in strictly limited quantities. They never had any meat although they had to cook meat daily foI their father and stepmother and her two children.

 away from home. She was found sleeping
 by the roadside and taken back, those tC
 whom she told her story thinking that Il
 was impossible that 1t could be true.
 A couple of weeks ago, however, the elder boy, John, was found dead on the floor of little box room, not much larger than a cupboard, in which he slept and into which he was locked every night by his stepmother. An inquest was
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-12-15

necessary and the doctor who examined the body found it so emaciated that he insisted on a thorough investigation. The stomach and other organs were sent to Professor McWeeney, an eminent Dublin specialist, who reported that the boy had died from starvation and nothing else, his food being deficient both in quantity and quality.
 When this report was received the po- lice visited the house and found the other two children in bed and almost in the last stages of exhaustion. They were hurried off to hospital, where they each put on over 20 pounds in weight in less than a fortnight. What makes the case worse is that doctor who was visiting the house regularly to attend Mrs Cro- zier's own children for some childish ail- ment, never heard of the existence of the elder children.
 During the examination of Helena Gro zier in the police court she was asked if her father ever protested against their treatment
 Once he told mamma" she replied. 'that he didn't believe in making ser- wants of us, but she told him to shut up and mind his own business
 "Did he know you had not enough to eat?" she was asked.
 NO" she replied. we always ate in Ine kllInGil anu we WEIo lOlu WO HOhlbA be killed if we complained"
 It must be said for Crozier that all the medical and police witnesses declared that he seemed deeply shocked when he learned the true condition of his children and gave them every possible aid in their Inquiry. In court he acted as if he were dazed and did not fully realize what was going on. Mrs. Crozier adopted a defiant attitude and tried to interrupt severa times while evidence was being given Acting on the advice of their lawyer however, both Crozier and his wife chose to reserve their defence until their trial at the assizes.
 When they left the court, after giving ball. crowd of local people which was waiting outside, made a rush for theii carriage and Had cut the traces and al most overturned the carriage before the police could interfere. Eventually they had to be escorted home by mounted po- lice and since then a constant police guard has been maintained at Gortra bOi1S0

Dublin. December -(5peeial)-One of ii ose sordid tragedies which seem to be a.stressngly common in Ireland has just been the subject of magisterial inves- tigatlon al Newtonbutler, County Fer nanagh. which has resulted in John George Crozier. L P. of Goftra house, and his second wife, being held for trial for the manslaughter of Crozier's son by his first wife, and serious cruelty to two other children
 The story is an amazing one and re- minds one of some of the tales of de- cadence told by zola. Crozier is q wealthy man and hieh1y connected. He is a big landlord and a first cousin of the Right Rev. Dr. Crozier, Protestant Archbishop of Armagh and primate of all Ireland He was formerly high sheriff of County Fermanagh. From all ae- counts he seems to be a weak, rather kindly man, who has fallen entirely un- der the influence of a woman of strong will and much lower social position.
 Croziers first wife was his equal so- dally and was immensely popular in the nelghborhood of Newtonbutler, where she and her husband were leaders in society.

FIRE SAFETY VERSUS
 WOMAN'S TALKING
From the Chicago Inter-ocean.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 Gary, Ind, now faces a possible de- vastation by fire. and all because c. V. Cough. a citizen of the town, wishes to hear Mrs. Cough talk.
 With the filing of injunction proceedings by Cough in the Lake county superior court against the Gary Board of Public Safety the interesting story came to light. It had it's beginning a few weeks ago, when James Feeley. formerly of Chicago and now fire chief for the smaller city, moved next door to 565 Monroe street, where Cough and Mrs. Cough once resided in perfect peace and quiet The first order of the new chief was that whenever there was a fire, the auto fire truck was to stop off and pick him up at the house."
 And just because of that order the rurnor has circulated that the Coughs are breaking up housekeeping and other things.
 And I'm not going to stand it any longer" the irate Mir. Cough shouted out in explanation. That blamed fire truck, with its gong going full blast and its muffler open, comes rushing past our house at all hours. Very naturally can't hear a thing that my wife ever says to me at those times and so she has to yell when she talks. And she yells so loud that the neighbors about fhi1P we are having one terrible scra
 fair and I intend to stop it"
 But the city officials have tes .az if the fire chief is restrained tHre eaaf ating his fire truck in whatev par ez the city he pleases. the city will De a dangered by fire. So the legal aH ana been started and both sides de1iafe Ifs they will fight their cause to 1s aisaF courts.

Monkey Dictionary Revised

Paris correspondents Chicago Record-
 Herald
 new revised dictionary of monkey language has just been issued through the French Academy of Sciences by Yves de Lage. long laborious student of ape jab- berings. The dictionary even contains grammatical notes for advanced readers, and an appendix giving in proper notation favorite songs among monkeys, which they always sing in the same rhythm when feeling particularly well. The monkey tongue has the advantage in that it comes unlearned to young monkeys, which is proved, says De Lage, by bay monkey taken away and isolated seven years. which, when brought back to it's companions, made itself understood per fcctly.

From Inc New York Sun

From the New York Sun.
 "The mystery of the disappearance of Bob somerdike's dead bear" said game warden whose range is along the Susque- hanna watershed in Pennsylvania, Ire mains as yet unsolved. and although that disappearance occurred last winter, and this years bear season is now on, that mystery of Bob Somerdikes dead bear continues to be talked about.
 q had heard about Bob Somerdike hav- ing dead bear hanging in his woodshed, with a bullet hole in it's side as big as teacup, and as the season for bear hunt ing and killing had been closed for almost a week. I went over to Bobs to see about it. Bob said he had the bear, and then went on to tell me how he had gone out to his barn the day after the sudden cold snap of the week before had tumbled on to things to throw down some hay for his cattle.
 "He was jabbing his pitchfork into the hay, he said, and chucking the hay down to the barn floor, when pretty soon a deeper jab of the work than any of the others struck into something sort of pudgy, and all of a sudden the hay rose as if a whirlwind had hit it from under, and out of it busted fair to middling sized bear, with howl that made things shake. And well it might, if the tines of the pitchfork had been set into the crit ter's flank more than two inches, as Bob said if had
