FAMOUS OLD HOTEL
DESTROYED BY FIRE.

Fire of unknown origin. starting
shortly before ) o'clock last Satur-
day. laid in a mass of smouldering
ruins the famous International hotel
at Virginia City. one of the most
historic structures in the west. and
more intimately associated with the
inside history of the stirring roman
tic bonanza DAYS of the Comstoek
than ans other building of promi-
hence that has survived the passing
of time since the halcyon days of
Flood. Maekay. Fair and O'Brien.
This famous hotel, which has
housed kings and potentates. princes.
of finance. kings and queens of
the footlights in the days when the
Comstoek was at its zenith. and
where General Ulysses S. Grant and
party were entertained like royalty
upon return from his trip around the
world has been the hub and center of
the most portentious deals. the most
brilliant scenes in the spectacular
social life of the great Comstock lode
and was probably the most luxurious
ly furnished hosiery in the entire
country at the time IL was built and
opened to the public in 1876. With
its destruction by fire Saturday is
swept away one OF the most promi-
nent connecting links between the pre-
sent and the glorious past of the
Comstock.
The entire interior of the building
was on fire before the flames broke
through and the alarm was given. A
few e later the flames shot
up 100 feet. There we're several
narrow escapes from death. but the
firemen and volunteers by means of
ladders rescued all the inmates and
employees without loss of life.
Nothing was left of the hotel. The
famous hand-carved furniture. typi-
cal in its old-fashioned magnificence
of the days of the bonanza kings. was
all lost.

MEM DISEASE PROVES
RAFFLING TO PROFESSORS

An obscure and yet unidentified
disease among cattle in the Carson
valley is giving the leading yeterin-
arians and psychologists of the Uni
yersities of Nevada and California
considerable difficulty and was re-
sponsible for the presence. Sunday,
in Reno of DR.. X. F. Meyer. the emf
nent pathologist and baeteriologist of
the University of California. DIR.
Meyer called upon DR.. ". B. Mack.
veterinarian and bacteriologist of the
University of Nevada Saturday morn
ing and they visited the Carson
valley to look over the situation.
The disease in question has been
causing a distinct and persistent loss
to the ranchers of Carson Valley for
some time and recently DR.. Meyer
came to the conclusion that a eondi-
ton he found in California might be
similar to the Nevada case.
DR.. Mack SAYS the case positively
is not anthrax. which il is said TO re-
semble in some respects. The stand
ard tests absolutely negative that di-
agnosis. he says. but he frankly ad-
mits that neither he nor DR.. Meyer
are able 10 say al present just what
il is. They will keep on. however. I'M
til they identify il or classify and
name it anew. The disease mani
itself acutely. is accompanied
by a temperature and is often fatal
in a few hours although there are re-
r~ecoyeries. IL is not so gen.
erai or destructive to panic.
although the persistent loss is felt
by the ranchers.

SHOWN In PAGEANT
Woman Workers Take Roles Of
Policemen, White Wings

Woman reigned supreme in the final
episode Of the pageant The Romance Of
Work" given by 500 members OF the
twenty-five New York clubs OF the Ma
tional Convention OF Women Workers at
the Sixty-ninth Regiment Armory last
night. Men were present In the final
scene. but they We're merely hurrying to
work. The police officers, the white
wings and the ambulance surgeons were
all women. They appeared equal to the
situation even when IT came to carrying
an injured man out on n stretcher.
The i've episodes OF the pageant, which
was under the direction OF Miss Mary
Porter Beegle, director OF physical educa-
ton at Barnard College, gave an oppor-

ence responded to this with significant tn
thusiasm.
A dance OF steam succeeded the mod
ern period In which the women did the
work, the ballet hing!ng swishng white
wells high over their heads. The final
dance of happiness after the man and
woman had lighted the fire on the altar
OF the future was done barefoot, as true
pageant happiness can apparently only be
suggested In that sylvan state. The spec
tacle closed with "A procession bearing
banners labelled Child Labor Laws"

dancers took part. The pageant was fol-
lowed by general dancing

GIRLS PAY BIC DEBT.
Clubs Experience Cited as Proof of
Feminine Independence.

The belief that girls club sometimes
generate spirit of dependence among
their members was refuted yesterday af-
ternoon by the report OF the Halle Club
OF Norwich. Conn, given at the con-
vention OF the National League of Women
Workers In the Assembly Hall of the
Metropolitan Building.
The Halle Club had been subsidized by
q wealthy woman of Norwich. The girls
had luxurious rooms. but they paid no
dues. Their benefactress finally entered
a convent and they found themselves
$1,000 In debt. Instead OF dlsbanding
and repudlating the debt the club mem
bsrs. who then numbered 500, resolved
TO pay II OFF.
They sold their elaborate furnishings,
settled half their obligation and took I'M
pretentious rooms. But the members
found themselves too tired at the end OF
q days work to climb two flights OF stairs
and worry over rnanc!al difficulties. and
the membership dropped to Nifty in few
months
I'VE realized that we had made a
mistake" said the delegate w..o made
the report yesterday. land we decided that
we must not only pay the money. but
have good time doing II. SO we took
some centrally located rooms where we
had the use of Il kitchen and began to
give suppers, We learned to cook so
well that we got the name OF giving
the best food In Norwich for the money.

never had a better time than we did
