Jan. l.-Stirred by the Chicago theater horror, the authorities of this city are about to institute a thorough investigation of all amusement places In order to most thoroughly guard against a similar happening. However, the managers of the new theaters declare that they have already takm every meaus of insuring the safety of their patrons. Nicholas J Hayes, who to-day becomes fire commissioner, announced that his first official act will be to order an Investigation of all the theaters of the city to ascertain whether they are so constructed ami so equipped as to safeguard human life in case of fire or other causes of panic. "In this work no one will deter me from doing my full duty," he said. "It is certain that the protection of human life Is the first and most Importaut duty of the fire commissioner, and next to that comes the protection of the people's property. I shall order this investigation at once, and I shall take means to ascertain what Is necessary to be !'n' by the department itself to throw further protection about our citizens and their property." City Superintendent of Schools Maxwell has issued special fire instructions to the district superintendents and principals of schools, whom he directs to take every precaution at once to Insure a perfect understanding of fire drills and rapid dismissal for the hundreds of thousands of children under their care. ST. LOUIS THEATERS MUST OBEY FIRE LAW. ST. LOCIS. Jan. 1.

It often happens that an ignorant man will stumble upon an invention which clever men have been working over for years. At oue time aM the gum ued in England was made from gum arable and cost no end of money. It happened one night that a big starch factory on the banks of Ihe Liffey, near Dublin, took fire and ereat puddles of starch and water were found outside. Some calico printers who had been making an evening of It came by, and being very tipsv, one of them tumbled Into the sticky mess. Next morning, when he tried to dress, all his clothes were stuck tight together as if they had been dipped in glue, and the wretched man was obliged to stay in bed till his wife had soaked them in clean water. The man. from his trade, knew how valuable this gum was. and taking the rest of the partv Into his confidence, they experimented by scorching starcn on a fire shovel. They found it made excellent gum wh.-n mix-d with water, and it was this invention which enabled postage stamps to be produced in an adhesive form. MISSOURI'S REPLY ZEIGLER E Odell and Counsel for Defense Sharply Criticised Mexican and New York Justice. TWO POINTS DISCUSSED JEFFERSON CITY. Mo.. Jan. 1. Assistant Attorney General Jeffries and Judge Thomas B. Harvey, of St. Louis, who represent the State of Missouri in the extradition matter of William Zeigler, of New York, wanted here to stand trial on a charge of bribery, to-day sent briefs to Governor Odell at Albany. The briefs are accompanied by arguments of the attorneys, who say they do not seek the arrest of a citizen of New York for a trivial offense, but for a nefarious crime, which, in its effects, is destructive of the very existence of the sovereignty of the State, in corrupting and debauching the Legislature, whence must emanate the laws needed for the protection of property and the lives of Its citizens. They report the President s message on bribery and comment on it. ' If William Zeigler were in the republic of Mexico, Missouri wouldn't be helpless." declares the brief, "as it is insisted she now Is, by reason f his being in the sister State of New York. Regardless of the Contested question of whether or not he was actually within the borders of the State of Missouri when the crime was committed, he would be extradited under the laws and returned from Mexico to answ.r to the indictment charged against him. The brief then declares that they desire to resent the attempts of the counsel for the defendant to b little and disparage the efforts of the Missouri authorities. The briefs ask that a warrant ha issued for the defendant, when the court can. by habeas corpus proceedings, determine the legal right and quotes Supreme Court decisions in supiort of the contention. The briefs discuss the matter under two heads: The obligation of one executive to honor the requisition of another executive, and also, as to whether Zeigler is a fugitive from justice.
