CLEAN up AND KEEP CLEAN.

This paper will have much to
say this spring about the above
subject. There is no reason why
we should not have the cleanest
parish in the state, even if we
cannot boast Of the largest. Every
man, woman and child in our
parish ought to respond to the
appeals that are being made to
make the parish neat and attrac-
tive and clean and sanitary. It is
only small matter for each fami-
| ly to clean up. IFS own premises,
but with every family in the
parish doing this the whole parish
will not only present an attractive
appearance but will be more
lhealthful as well. Let everyone
join in this war against dirt,
disease, rubbish, ugliness and
indifference to the public GOOD,
and when the parish is in the
condition it should be. let every
one help to kespit so. The parish
! IS inurgentneed Of cleansing and
purifying after the long winter
and the dampness of early spring,
and all effort to this end vii
bring reward d hundred fold.

Several Dying In Hospitals AS
Result of Frenzied Rush Dur

Show

| New York, Feb. BIN a motion
picture theatre in East Hudson street
that complied with all existing city
| laws and fire regulations, nearly 1000
frenzied spectators fought for the
main exit at a cry of Fire" last
night killing two women and seriously
| injuring 20 other persons. Three of
the injured were sadd to be dying, to-
day. in the hospitals
There was no fire, except slight
blaze from a, roll of film in the opera
tors enclosure at the rear of the
room. But what fire and smoke there
was was brought suddenly to the at
tention of spectators by its reflection
on the screen.
Disregarding two exits on each side
of the hail., the lighting mass of ter
ror-stricken humanity damned itself
against the double doors serving as n
| main entrance and exit at the front
of the building.
The landing at the top of the steps
was piled three deep with fallen spec
tators. Mrs. Mary c. Corsa, 81, and
found dead when the mass of human
sity was finally untangled. Meanwhile,
within the theatre, Charles Steiner,
the operator of the picture machine
had thrown bucket of sand over the
blazing film. He followed this by
reaching outside the enclosure for
chemical fire extnguisher and finish
ed the little blaze yelling at the sam
time to the unheeding crowd thar
there was no danger and to return to
their seats.
On the stage behind the screen, Ar
thur Davis, lecturer who had been
explaining in Italian the meaning. of
some of the English signs and Gin
serts'' run in the pictures tried his
best to stop the head1ong rush.
The injured were rushed to the hos
theatre and scattered the great crowd
that had assembled. A wheelbarrow
load of clothings pocketbooks, jewelTy
and other articles was picked up from
the floor and held for reclamation.
The coroner, fire marshal and as
sistant district attorney examined the
theatre, which had been made over
from an old church, and found that it
had all the appliances demanded by
law. The principal defect found by
the authorities was the flight of stairs
outside the building. but there was no
law making it compulsory to have all
exits on the ground level.
| Steiner was arrested and held in
500 bail. He is not blamed by the
! police, however, in view of his
prompt action in putting out the blaze
and his efforts to calm the crowd.
