BROKE HIS OWN STAGE RULE
Henry lrvlna's Little Pleasantly That
Spoiled Effective Death Scene
In "Othello."

The note about actors who try to
queer" other actors on the stage,
writes q correspondent, reminds me
Of a story of the only time when Hen
ry Irving was guilty OF such a thing
He was acting Othello, to the Desde-
mona of the late Miss Bateman and
every Saturday night the perform
'ance was followed by a very pleasant
little supper party. Desdemona was
strangled on a bed at the back of the
stage, and part of Irving's business"
was to leave the bed, and then, going
back to it, draw the curtains slightly
aside and peep in at the body, after
wards turning a face OF inexpressible
anguish toward the audience. His
face. his shudder and the deep-drawn
sigh which he gave were among the
most impressive parts of one OF his
greatest creations AS rule he stern
ly suppressed any levity on the stage,
but one Saturday night, as he drew
back the curtain, he said, in sep
ulchral whisper, What have we for
supper, Desdemona?" Alas! Miss
Bateman was unequal to the strain
and a merry laugh from the dead rang
through the house. Never again.

of seriousness on the stage. 1t was

switching yard on the railroad.
The railroad boys raised a little
purse for the victim, who was rather

TRIANGLE HORROR is REPEATED
FIFTY LIVES sNUFFED OUT AT
slNeHAMPToN, N. Y.
Careless Cigarette Instantly Trans
forms Building Into a Roaring,
Seethlng Furnace,

Binghampton, N. Y.-Fifty persons
we're killed and as many injured,
dozen or more fatally, in fire which
swept the four-story factory building
of the Binghampton Clothing com.
pany. The victims were chiefly women
and girls. About 125 persons were
in the factory when the fire broke out.
The big outstanding fact Of the
catastrophe is it's swiftness. In this
the fire bears strong resemblance to
the Triangle Waist company holo-
Caust in New York City, where 147
lives were lost when the infammable
material upon which the employees
were working and the waste lttcring
the floors blazed with inconceivable
rapidity and set the workers jumping
from their windows to death. The
parallel here of the catastrophe is
lessened only by the diminished height
of the building and number of dead.
The fire started by the careless throw
ing down of cigarette butt.
In the tragedy the deadly burst of
fame quickly followed after the
alarm. There was little opportunity
to use ordinary or even emergency
means of escape. Fire drills had been
carried on regularly, SO frequently in
fact that the employees had found them
monotonous.
The building was equipped with fire
escapes and an automatic alarm sys-
TEN. The alarm tinkled at 2:30
o'clock. Mrs. Reed B. Freeman, wife
of the proprietor, telephoned to the
central fire station. The usual appar-
atus for a first still alarm responded.
The first puff of flames was hardly dis
covered before the fire leaped along
the staircases and walls, up the ele-
vator shaft, along the floors and cell
ing. There was a roar, front and
rear, and the flames bellied forth
across Wall street, on which the build
ing fronted.
After this blast the fire seemed to
burst from every part of the building
at once. Upon the fire escapes girls.
women and men were clustered and
inside others were waiting to get on
the iron ladders. But the flames we're
too quick for them.
When the firemen arrived in re-
sponse to the telephone alarm they
were unable to get within twenty feet
of the burning building and the ends
of the streams from their hose were
turned into steam without effect upon
the fire.
Life nets and extension ladders were
equally useless. There was no chance
FOR those on the upper floors, except
the last resort to jump, and this
many took, while others fell, shrivel-
ed and crumpled with the heat.
Scarcely one of the survivors was
able to give a connected account of
what took place on the upper floors
OF the factory when the employees
there-mostly women and girls, real
ized that the fire call was no false
alarm and that death was sweeping
upon them.
AS soon as the first OF the fire vic
Tins were brought to the hospital
convalescents among the other patti
ents set to work tearing bandages
physicians sawed boards for splints TO
bind up broken limbs and Fathers
Ellis, Walsh and Mclaughlin, to-
gether with Rev. Mr.. Francis, came
to offer spiritual consolation to the
desperately injured.

Hypocrisy Is really al the root OF

Men demand that women be good

Men and women should look for
character and noble traits rather
than looks and worldly goods. A
beautiful face or figure may be dis
figured or fade with ase and then

the hypocrisy between the sexes.
