Important Points at the Inquest Three important points in the testimony at the Iroquois inquest must have impressed every one who has followed it carefully. One was the absence of drill and discipine among the employes of the theatre, the second was the puzzle of the exits, and the third was the part played by the stage curtain in the sprea'd of fire. On the subject of the curtain there Avas considerable confusion among the witnesses, the first of whom could agree only that the curtain caught fire and thus became the chief agent for carrying the flames across the au

ditorium. Descriptions varied as to its, , appearance, but an, , explanation of the mystery was offered yesterday when" Ruth' Michel testified that the two curtains were lowered. First there was the asbestos curtain, which was stopped in its descent, and then the scene closer, which descended all the way and was all ablaze on the instant. The explanation harmonizes contradictions, but leaves the question of the possible value of the asbestos curtain unsettled. As to this, however, the statements of the secretary of the manufacturing company are far from reassuring, and there will be general agreement that the council committee was wise in deciding that every theatre shall have a steel curtain. .It should be added that for additional security the curtain should be made to work automatically like the fire sprinklers. It is evident also that a self-acting" device would have been of immeasurable importance at the blind exits of the Iroquois, which wrere discovered only to raise hopes and then disappoint them. When however, all is done that can be done toward installing such a mechanism the need of a regular drill of the employes will still remain imperative. Without intelligent work and intelligent direction at all parts of the house by persons who have a knowledge of its resources the dangers of panic eannot be avoided.

SUNFLOWER. PHILOSOPHY. Atchison (Kan.) Globe.) Some men haven't system enough to run a match box. Most people believe it is no offense to lie to a newspaper reporter. Probably one reason a boarding house is not home-like is that the table cloth, is changed oftener. A small town is like a small child; always subject to croup, colic or a bump on the head. .. If you have intense prejudices, get rid of them, if possible. Many a man who is useful and successful would be more useful and successful but for his intense prejudice. AMATEUR POLO.

Whereas, During the past two weeks several cases of eruptive disease have occurred at the Maxwell hotel, on north E street, and said disease now known to have been smallpox, and, whereas, ' during said two weeks, a large number of persons have visited the hotel and been exposed to the infection of smallpox, and, it being utterly impossible for the health department to locate all thus exposed, it is urgently requested that upon the first appearance of disease among the exposed, that the family physician be summoned and should an eruption occur, that complete isolation be observed until the character of the disease is manifest. Vaccination is especially recommended as early as practicable. The three cases of smallpox, the child of Mrs. Mary Clingenpiehl and two boarders have been taken to the contagious disease hospital. The hotel is now being fumigated. Unfortunately notice of the disease did not' reach the health office until late Saturday7 evening. The active co-operation of all concerned will be required to control the disease and prevent general infection. . ' T. Henry Davis, Health Officer. WARDENS ELECTED. .

' -J Of A CHILD I By HARRIET C. CAN FIELD t 4 i CapyriQUU IMS, by T. C. McClure "Martha Raymond !n't changed none since she was twenty, 'cept to get redder headed." the village dressmaker said to Deacon Lindsley's wife. "I don't know," Mrs. Lindsley replied. "Seems to me she's more independent than ever since her pa and ma died." "Think so? Well, she's still on the sunny side of thirty-five and got more taste than any young girl in town. She never wears red next to her hair always black or white or green. I tell you an artist don't understand colors better'n Martha does. I wonder if Phil Gardner's proposed to her yet this spring." "I guess hot It's usually a little later'n,this be asks her 'bout when I'm half through house cleanSn'." Every one in the village know that Philip Gardner annually proposed to Martha Raymond and was annually rejected, but only the rejector and the rejected knew that old Mrs. Gardner was the cause of Philip's woe. Every year he had said, "Martha, won't you marry nft? now?" and Martha had replied, "Not if I must live with your mother, Phil." Strange to say, he had never asked her . to be more explicit. He had no idea of her reason for refusing to live with his mother. It was enough for him that she refused. This year It was later than usual. Mrs. Lindsley had finished house cleaning when he climbed the steep hill road that led to the old Raymond homestead. It was early In the evening, and Martha was busy among her flower beds. She looked up with a conscious smile when the little gate clicked behind him. "Good evening. Phil." she said. "Did you come to get some violets?" "No." he replied bluntly. "I came to get you. Can't I, Martha?" "Not if I must live with your mother, Phil," she said, with an air " of finality. To her surprise, he did not, as before, turn dejectedly away. " There was a determined look In his eyes before which sht trembled. "I I mutt go In," she said. "Not nntll you've mentioned what you hav ag&intt my mother." And he deliberatsly barred her way. Martha's temper ro. "I wouldn't Hve with her for a farm!" she cried. 'AUSTIl'B GLAD TOTT PUT TOT PBBTTT 'B'U I'OYIR' IN HEX HA1B." "She's as still as death. I like to sing and laugh and make a cheerful clatter, but your mother's house is as silent as a tomb. You can hear a pin drop there any time." Philip heaved a great sigh of relief. "Mother wouldn't object to your clatter," he said smilingly. "Is that all?" "All? Isn't that enough? Besides, I don't believe In living in the same house with my mother-in-law!" Philip's face clouded. "I can't turn my mother out even to please you, Martha," he said. "No one wants you to turn her out, I'm sure. But I don't see why she can't live in the city with your brother." "Mother can't sleep when she's there. It's too noisy." "That's it. I should have to keep still all the time, and I'd set my heart on having a canary and a piano and one of those talking machines when I was married." Thilip smiled sadly. "If you change your mind about mother," he said, "you can let me know, otherwise I'll not ask you again." ' Martha laughed scornfully. "I'm not likely to change my mind," she said. "When I do you'll see me wearing red flowers in my hair, and you know I'll never do that." A year went by, , and spring came again, but Philip, to, the astonishment of the entire village, did not "go courtin' Martha Raymond." The dressmaker exclaimed over the fact when she was sewing for Mrs. Lindsley: "I declare." she said, "I believe Martha kind of misses it. When I was sewin' for her last week she seemed dreadful quiet like. I noticed she didn't sing much neither." "Serves hor right for givin' Philip the mitten go often. I heard Widow Ramsey's son had been goin' there some." ; "Yes, but she wouldn't give no encon ra gem e n t, f or sh e said he wa s n t good to his mother. She says a man that ain't considerate , of his mother won't be considerate of his wif n "

Another spring came, and every ey was on PblHp. "He will go to see Marjtha now.,"; they said to one another, but Philip d!d not climb the hill road, lie nad looked iu vain for red flowera in Martha's hair. One beautiful Sabbath morning in June Martha Raymond sat on the broad doorstep waiting for the "first bell" to ring for church. Her brother and his wife and little daughter were visiting her. Ruth was to accompany her to church. The child was playing in the old fashioned garden where larkspurs and roses ran wild. Martha called her. and she came runuing up with her hands full of blossoms. "Pitty Towers," she said. "Rufe put some in Aunt Marfa's hair." And she climbed up on the broad stone and peeped roguishly into Martha's face. "Only the blue flowers, dearie the larkspurs. Auntie doesn't wear red in her hair." "Yeth," lisped the sweet baby voice, "pitty b'u Towers In auntie's hair." And she tucked a crimson rambler among the soft red coils. Then she slipped her little hand into Martha's, and they went to church together. Philip and his mother sat directly behind them. The old lady looked inquiringly at the little child, but Tbilip's eyes sought Martha's hair, just as they had done in vain for two long years. He half rose from his seat, for there was the blessed red signal at last. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, and when the minister read. "What went ye out to see?" he murmured, "A red Cower, of course." His mother laid a reproving hand on his arm. "Hush!" she whispered, just as she had whispered years ago to the restless youngster beside her. Early that afternoon he climbed the hill road. Martha's brother answered his knock. She was in the garden with little Ruth, he said. He found them there among the roses and larkspurs. "Martha." he cried, hurrying down the gravel path, "how can I thank you, dear?" "Thank me," she said tremulously, "for what. Philip?". "For wearing this." And he took the withered red rose from her hair. Her eyes opened wide with surprise., "I didn't know it was there," she faltered. "I guess Ruth did it." "Yeth." the baby lisped. "1 dess I did pitty b'u Tower." Philip's face fell. "So It's all a mistake," he said sadly. But Martha put her arms around her little niece and held her close. 44Tell him," sb said, "that auntie's glad you put the pretty b'u Tewer in her hair."

Seeing Six GeHrationi. A generation is admitted to occupy on an average a space of thirty-three years. Horac Walpol relates the following amusing instaac of seeing six generations: "I was ten when 1 was presented to Gra- I. two nigrkts before h left England for the last time. This makes me appear very old to myself and Ifetbmelah to jmxrg persons if I nappes to meation ft before then. If I aaother rein. wfaieh is but too prefcable, what ft hell I seem then? I will tell y aa cireumstaaee. Nearly ten years ago I had already see a ix fenerations in one family, that of Walaearrave. I have often seen and once heen ia a reora with Mrs. Godfrey, miaireea of Janaea II. It is true he deted. Then came her daughter, the old Lady WaldearaTe; her son, the ambateader; his daughter, the Lady Harriet; her daughter, the present Lady Powia. aad she has children who may be married in five or six years. And yet I shall net be very eld if I see two generation more, but if I do I shall be superannuated, for I think I talk already like an old nurse.' Tke Battle of the Kilo. But for a pin prick there would have been no battle of the Nile. Attone moment Nelson was fretting his heart out in vain quest of the French, with no one to furnieh a dev. s to their whereabouts. Next minute the secret wras out in a lady's boudoir. Sir John Acton, commander in chief of land and sea forces at Naples, was in his wife's room when her maid was putting the finishing touches to her ladyship's dress. The maid drove the point of a pin into her mistress and apologized. Some one had at that moment handed the maid a letter from her brother, a French sailor, from whom she had not heard for some time, and its receipt had startled her. Sir John Acton, foreseeing possibilities, offered to read the letter while the maid continued her attentions to her mistress. The moment he had read it he dashed off to find Nelson. The letter gave all the information as to the whereabouts and intentions of the French. Upon this Nelson acted, and the battle of the Nile resulted from that pin prick. Sngnr aa a Stimulant. One of the numerous physical culture teachers departs from the faith of traineFS in advising his pupils to eat all the sugar they can get. Either in taking off flesh or in putting on flesh his advice is to make sugar in some form or other a liberal part of the daily diet. "Sugar is a very powerful stimulant and a great producer of nerve force," he said. "I spent two winters in the Klondike, where the miners eat enormous quantities of sugar and molasses. They even sweeten salt pork with it. Men who simply soak themselves in sweets do twice the work of men wtlo let sugar alone. Swiss mountaineers always carry a liberal supply of sugar In their kilts. Negroes in the harvest fields grow fat on sugar cane. "In hot or cold climates a liberal diet of .sugar will put a man in the finest possible condition. Whatever bad effects sugar may have at first are soon' remedied by exercise. It has been a fad for twq or three years to howl against the use of sugar, but there i no sound physiological reason for it."
