SUNDAY CONCERT OF
THE SCHOOL OF MUSIC

| The Arizona School of Music or
chestra assisted by local musicians
was greeted by an unusually large
audience yesterday afternoon at theil
School of Music The program was
! a most enjoyable one and exceed
irgly well played. The unfinished
SYMPHONY" by Schubert. was the
most pretentious but was played in
a most artistic manner While the
full orchestra was not present the
members played with much finish
and were at all times in sympathy
with the director and each other
Mrs. Cromwell Stacey, soprano, and
Roy Porter, clarinet, were the
soloists.
One does not know what music
there is in a clarinet until one hears
Mr. Porter play: his solo was a reve-
lation as to the possibilities of the
instrument
Mrs. Stacey was delight. Her
voice is one with wonderful range
and a wealth of beauty in tone. Her
low notes were full and rich while
Ter high tones We're clear and ring
ing: her enunciation was perfect and
her manner unaffected Her inter
probation of "Knowest Thou the Fair
Land from the opera Mgnon was
la delight while her encore "Bobo-
link" by Bishoff. completely won her
hearers. Her recital to be given at
the School of Music soon is looked
forward to with much anticipation.

when the bureau of mines began
its work. the great cause of great dis
asters in the coal mines of the United
States was the explosion of coal dust
This phase of the problem was taken
up more vigorously than any other and
it is indeed gratifying to the bureau
that the explosions from coal dust in
1914 have decreased 90 per cent from
the previous year.
While the bureau of mines is lead
ing in this national movement to re-
dUce the number of deaths in the mines
it realizes fully. that not much progress
could be made. We're it not for the
helpful cooperation it obtains from the
state bureaus. the miners themselves,
the operators and various other agen-
cies. The Improvement being made
may rightfully be credited to closer and
more careful inspection by the state
inspectors: better enforcement Of laws
and regulations by the operators; a
better realization .of the dangers at
tendant upon the miner in his daily
work and his efforts to reduce acct
dents due to the educational campaign
conducted in his behalf: the extended
use of safety lamps in doubtful mines
the use of permissible explosives that
have been passed upon by the bureau
of mines: the wetting of dusty mines

sort of half-witted."
But Freddies bright spots were all
on the qui vive for once.
She was safe when I last seen
her." he said, ''but I don't know where
she is, and I'd have to hunt for her.
Didn't you say you'd give something
just to know she was safe?''
L did," said Tommie, "but I don't
know she's safe. You find her and
take me to her and you shall have a
thousand, and more, too"
You'll get twenty-five from me-"
exclaimed Mrs. Baxter, poor as I
am"
A bright spot in Fredaie's brain
made the following calculations: $50
plus $1,000 plus $25 equals SLOTS, and
more, too" A dull spot was for say
ing:
Come along, I know where she is
But, as before, a bright spot inter-
vened.
Where can find you quick?" said
Freddie.
Tommy gave him his card.
"All right" said Freddie, you'll
hear from me soon," and he swung
Importantly out of the room.
He had new proposition now. How
to take Sweetzer, Mrs. Baxter and Mr..
Barclay all to Celestial at the same
time, so that he could get all the
money. This new proposition re-
quired very patient thinking, and he
walked on and on without consider
After long time he sank down on a
bench in Central park and took a nap.
Sometimes he dreamed of solutions to
difficult problems. But he didn't this
time. He was walked by hand on

hereabouts?"

young lady in a white dress, with a

Freddie laughed aloud.

one that finds her for me and tells me

if you do, it's go. You take me to
her and We'll share and share alike"
Then Freddie went down to Sc if
Celestial was still there. She was.

He had almost walked his legs off,
but he was still game. So he went
and fetched Sweetzer and showed
door.

Tomorrow at ten, Nelly and mall

and do chores"
Not without difficulty Freddie col
lected the fifty dollars which Sweet
ger had promised him. With even
more difficulty he wrote a note to
Tommy Barclay, to Mrs. Baxter and to
O'Gorman.
He wrote: "Be at my house (and he
gave an address) at few minutes be-
fore ten o'clock, and I'll take you to
her. Freddie the Ferret.
"P. S.-Bring the money you prom
ised, or won't"
Ali Freddies victims except Sweet
ger met in part of Freddie's house
at a little before ten o'clock. One
glance at O'Gorman was enough for
Sweetzer. He knew that he had lost
ont and he skunk off, cursing wick
eddy.
Freddie opened the front door and
said:

They walked in Then he showed
them into the parlor, and there was

through In many places, so that some
of the last girls to pass through the
door to safety went with burned feet.
1--WE can go now"
She did not answer.
He saw her at a window struggling
to open it.
'This way, Celestial! For Gods
sake, don't jump"
And he ran to her across the smok-
ing and burning floor. AS he reached

opening the window. AS Tommy
reached her she staggered and fell
into his arms.
He turned with her toward the door.
and groaned like a thing that had
been hurt to death. Escape that way
looked impossible.
Supporting Celestia with one arm
he succeeded in opening the windc W.
The crowd in the street below saw
them, and a kind of groaning and
lamentation arose.
Celestia began to revive.
Tommy had turned his back to the
window. Not until the last moment
would he let her jump, and then only
to escape a more shocking death.
Meanwhile his heart beat strongly,
and he pressed her closer to his
breast as if he thought as they had at
best but a few minutes to live he
must make her understand how much
he loved her.
"Oh,'' he thought, IF only she could
love me, could let me know she loved
me before the end"
It seemed to him that he couldn't
die, that he mustn't die without her
knowing that.
thought came into his head II he
was to die, he must die trying to save
her. Then she would understand. He
looked about him wildly, and his eyes
fell upon a great roll of black and
white-striped material for making
shirts. Leaving Celestia leaning
against the wall near the open win
dow, he made a dash for the shifting,
and unrolled it, dashing over it the
contents of number of the fire buck
cts that still contained water
1t was his notion to wrap Ce1estia in
the wet stuff, to take her in his arms,
and carry her safe to the door, and to
that safety which still seemed to ex-
list beyond.
BY some strange freak of the fire
there was still quite large area OF
flooring surrounding Celestia, yet un-
burned. But between that and the
door, to make the crossing, seemed to
offer but one chance in a hundred.
The one who was carried might live
to tell the tale. The one who did the
carrying could hardly hope for SO
much. He would be so badly burned
that, although he might be alive when
he reached the street, he would not
live long thereafter.
1t takes many words often to tell of
what happens in a few instants of
time. From the first cry of fire to the
time when Tommy had wrapped Celes-
tia in the wet shifting, and was pre-
pairing, you may say, TO wade through
hell for her. was only few minutes.
The last girls to leave the sewing
machine room had only just reached
the street.
"Now for it," thought Tommy, and
to Celestia he shouted Che had to
shout to make himself heard):
Don't be afraid, dear. I'm going to
get you out of this"
And he gathered ner strongly in his
arms, pictured out, with swift eyes,

 ANCHORAGE

ANCHORAGE, Oct. 1-The men bers of the school board waited upon MT. Mears to find out what could be done in the way of getting a public school started. The board was told that if it could be shown that suffi- cient funds could be raised to sustain the school the commission would build Ia school building. Upon this assu- rance, Mrs. Mrs. Normile, a member of the school board, immediately set to work to find ways and means to pro- vide for the maintenance of the school until such time as government school funds can be secured.
 A committee of ladies, consisting of Mrs. Normile, Mrs. Chase. Mrs. Mccullough, Mrs. Pilger and Mrs. lists throughout the city asking each and every citizen who has the interest of the public school at heart to do nate any sum they may feel able to give. In addition to the public sub scription, the ladies will ask all par ents and others who are inclined to agree to pay the sum of fifty cents per week during the school term, htnh .tt;n n;I plI in the school.
 The new sidewalk laid in front of the Empress block on H street is rael- ly a great improvement, and Capt. Lathrop is entitled to much credit for the work.
 Surveyor Warner has completed the survey of the five-acre tracts on the southern limit of the town. It is not known just what arrangements will be made for the disposition of these tracts, but it is likely that they will be disposed in the same manner as were the lots in the townslte of Anchorage. Nothing further, how ever, will be done with them before next spring.
 Dr. Henderson, a member of the Bacon survey party, arrived in An- chorage the fore pat o' the week. The doctor expects to leave for Seat tie shortly. He reports prospects are very bright in the upper coutry and believes that as soon as transpcrta- tion arrives many very good mining properties will be opened up between here and the Broad Past country.
 Capt. N. J. Gaikema, owner of the power launch Swan, which has been plying on Cook Inlet during the past season, left on Wednesday last for Seldovia, from which place he will start on aprospecting cruise which will last late into the ssason. He will be accompanied by Jack Howe and Claude Pierce.
