FIRE ENDANCERS
LUMBER YARDS

A fire which completely destroyed
the residence Of Nathan Satan, 251S
Fourth avenue, and caused a loss Of
50, 250 to the Rock Island Sash & Door
works broke out shortly after $50 this
morning, and but for the prompt and
efficient action of the fire department
the blaze would have swept the Rock
Island Lumber company storage yards.
When the alarm was turned in at
$40 the eastern sky line was aglow
and it was feared that the lumber
yards had caught fire and were doomed
to destruction. The Satan residence
was a wreck, not an article of house
hold furniture being saved. AS it was,
the family was fortunate to escape
death by cremation. Mr.. Satan esti-
mates his loss at $500.
FAMILY ASLEEP.
Early this morning Mr.. Satan arose
and built a fire in the stove, immedi-
ately going out to attend to some
cows in small stable at the rear OF
the house. A few moments later one
OF the boys arose and upon entering
the kitchen discovered that the en-
tire roof was ablaze. Rushing back
he awoke the remaining members of
the family who grabbed what clothing
they could and rushed into the street,
as they did not have time to save
any of the household effects. When

building, consisting of a quantity of

CARS FOR WOMEN.
A Novelty on the Burlington Rail-
road Fitted With Electric GriIls,

BY providing a car, exclusively for
women, on two of its through trains
of the Chicago-St. Paul.Minneapolis
service the Burlington Railroad
claims to have introduced novelty
for the comfort of passengers. The
new cars are more than eighty-five
feet long and are divided into two
apartments. The larger OF these is
called the women's car, place where
the women travellers may retire and
rest in the luxurious easy chairs. The
color scheme of the decorations is a
delicate shade of green and the apart
ment is kept comfortable by an auto
matte ventilating system.
For passengers who have a hobby
for cooking, or whose health requires
that their meals shall be prepared in
a special way, an electric grill has
been added to the women's car. The
newest and most efficient electric
cooking appliances, with hood and
fan to carry away any fumes, allow
the fastidious to prepare dainties as
easily as they could over the chatting
dish in their own homes. officials
If the Chicago Burlington and
,uincy Railroad Company say this
innovation, contemplated for some
.ime, has been hastened by the con.
Stantly increasing patronage of wom-
IN travellers. The smaller part of
he new cars is iounging room for
men.
The two trains on which the wom-
ems cars have been installed are the
Minnesota Limited, which leaves Chi
cago at $50. in the evening, and the
Chicago Limited, leaving st. Paul
every evening at $3.50. If the innova.
ton proves as popular as it is ex.
pected it will be extended through
the entire Burlington service. The
new plan is already being watched
by other railroads, which are, ii is
said, considering the installation of
similar exclusively women's cars

Pianos From chicauo.

Chicago is the largest piano pro
ducing centre in the world, turning
out annually more than 100000 in.
struments, which are shipped all
over the world. Manila alone, within
the last two years, has taken over
l,l0O pianos. Mexico, until the
troubles overlook that republic. took
more than 5000 pianos annually
from Chicago, and Central and South
America. especially the Argentine
Republic, have been great consumers
of Chicago pianos.
Up to a few years ago Germany
sent all the instruments that were
shipped to these countries. But the
German woods in the cases would not
stand the climates. It was Milwau-
kee that first discovered this and
sent trade emissaries to the far
away lands. Within few years
Chicago has built up large ex-
port trade in this line. What holds
good of the piano also holds good of
band instruments.
Chicago sells, approximately, 100.
900 pianos year, aggregating in va
lue about $5O,OOO,OOO, which is about
one-third of the entire product of the
nation.-Chicago Tribune.
