Happenings of Past
Few Days.
SCHOOL DESTROYED BY FIRE
Man Building at Stanley Hall Almost
Totsl Wreak--Loss To-
About $4,000.

Ninneapo lis.-Fire at Stanley hall,
a school for girls, Pleasant avenue and
Twenty~second street, almost totally
destroyed the main school building.
The loss is estimated at $4,000, fully
insured. The third floor of the burned
building was devoted to a dormitory,
but the occupants are away for the
holiday vacation.
Cracking of flames on the areaway
just outside her window on the third
floor of the home building led to the
discovery Of the fire by Mrs. Cleo
Montanyee, housekeeper. Mrs, Mon
ranye telephoned the fire department.
Residents of the district are thought
to have seen the fire before this time,
but to have taken it for granted that
an alarm had been turned in. Resi-
dents declare there was long delay
In the arrival Of the companies. Fire
department records show that a Ill
alarm was turned in by District Chief
Il. F. Caldwell FIVE minutes after the
department was notified.
The blaze Illuminated the district
for blocks around. A general alarm
was sent in soon after the arival of the
first companies and as many as 30
lines Of hose were laid in the fight to
keep the fire from communicating to
adjacent buildings.
The brick walls of the building are
standing, but the roof is fallen and
the building is practically in ruins.
Fire burned of the third floor, devot-
ed to the dormitory, and the second
story, given to classrooms and the art
museum. The first floor and basement
dining room were heavily damaged by
water. Five pianos were ruined by
fire and water.
Miss Olive Evers. principal of the
school, is making holiday visit in Los
Angeles and is expected to return
next week. Miss Estelle Holbrook, as
sistant principal, charge during
Miss Evers' absence, lives directly
across from the school. When the
flames broke out Miss Holbrook and
her niece, Dorothy Holhrook, and Miss
Ruby Settle, attempted to get into the
office on the first floor to save records,
but were kept back by the firemen.
Miss Holbrook said that ample quar-
tiers in which the Is girls enrolled may
continue their work will be provided
and that classes will resume as SEIZED
uled on Jan. 5.
Defective electric wiring was the
cause of the fire in the opinion of
Thomas Flanders, janitor He said
there was no fire in the building after
that in a small heater was extin-
guished about a. IN.
Going to the fire the engine Of Com
pany No swerved on the car tracks
and threw two firemen to the frozen
ground Hugh Mcleod, engineer, suf-
fered bad bruise on his leg and was
taken home in an assistant chiefs car

Minneapolis, --Ffnding, when he had
figured up his years business and
charitable donations that he is better
of than he had supposed, and that he
could afford to give still more TO
charity, a prominent business man of
Minneapolis, who already had sub
scribed literally, sent in pledge to
the Associated Charities for 500 adj
ditional. Chairman Stuart w. Wells
of the finance committee said that
there will be many other people In
Minneapolis who will find that they
are starting the year 1915 in better
condition than they had expected. and
that he hoped the influence of the man
who acted SO promptly will prove CON
tagious. This is the letter: "Associ.
ated Charities. apolis--Enelosed
find my pledge for 800 additional to
my former subscription for the en-.
suing years expense of your organiza.
ton. / find upon reckoning my in
come and expenses for the year just
closing that while my net profits are
less than usual. that after all, the de-
mands OF my charitable giving have
seemed greater in number than In
total amount. / am, therefore, con-
strained to share the excess with
these who have been less fortunate. 4"
AT his request the name Of the sub
scriber is withheld. The Associated
Charities Is still nearly $1,000 short of
the sum II must have if 1t is to con.
tiRue to operate through 1915.
