Services Held for Those Who Lost Lives in Terrible Theatre Blaze Four Years Ago Plans Mapped Out for Monument.

Publishers Press.l Chicago, Dec. 31, The Iroquise theatre fire, in which six Lundred persons lest their lives here four years ago, was held up at the Iroquise me morial assiciatlon'a annual meeting to night as a "lesson to the law-break ing public of Chicago." "The awful holocaust was not so much a rebuke to the officials," said the Rev. Johnston Myers, the chief speaker, "as to the people. "There has hardly ever been a time in the city's history when every one had less regard for the law and its enforcement. It requires a tremendous sorrow to startle the people into realization of the fast that life can not be harmonious unless laws are obeyed. The fire was a spiritual and economic necessity. Probably the lives lots In the disaster will prove small compared to those saved through Its influence." Plans were mapped out for the monument contemplated for the fire victims, and for the prosecution of Manager Will J. Davis of the theatre, soon to be tried at Danville, 111., on charge of responsibility for the disaster. BITTER FIGHT EOB CONTROL OF ZIOII A New Prophet in Person of Cfias. F. Parham, Enters Arena of Battle. . COMMERCIAL LEAGUE, TOO ORGANIZATION IS COMPOSED OF MOST OF THE CAPITALISTS OF CHURCH HAS ESTABLISHED A NEWSPAPER. Chicago, Dec. 30. A four-cornered fight has broken out for the control of Zion City. The leaders of the factions are Wilbur Glenn Voliva, present nominal leader of the church; Dr. John Alexander Dowie, deposed chief; Charles F. Parham, a new "prophet," and the Commercial League of Zion City. The Commercial League is latest In the field, but includes most of the church capitalists. It is fighting through a newly established newspaper, which asserts that Dowie threw the organization into a receiver's hands; that the city is in danger of being sold by the sheriff as a result of Volivia's management and that Parham is an "imposter." Voliva has also established a newspaper. Parham sprang up during the fight between Voliva and Dowie. He recognized Dowie as the true "prophet," but says he (Parham) Is his heavenappointed successor. Dowie is undoubtedly gaining strength by the factional quarrels and many Zionists predict that he will win if his physical and mental health are sufficient to carry him through the fight, which is doubtful. SHORT STORIES. Half the negroes In the United States are under 1D.4 years of age. The postofflce has a profit of $15,000 a year through unclaimed money orders. The number , of murders and homicides decreased 2,000 in the United States during the last ten years. There have been over 8,200 visitors to the Longfellow home in Portland, Me., this season against 7,7o7 In 1905. A Maine schooner, the Natalie B. Nickerson of Boothbay Harbor, Me., was high line in the mackerel fishery this season, with a gross stock of $13,800, the crew sharing $243. Three lives have been saved by means of a device Invented by a Swedish woman named Lind for preventing people from being buried alive. It was applied to 2,200 supposed corpses.

A BAD PROSPECT AHEAD

THE CRISIS WILL COME ON 13TH OF MONTH, WHEN SNOW STORMS AMOUNTING TO BLIZZARDS WILL SWEEP COUNTRY. According to Rev. Hicks, we enter the new year on the wings of a storm. He says: The storm period which will be cen tral on December 27, extends to the7th, and will excite. the normal tendency to rain, sleet and snow on and touch ing the 4th, 5th and 6th. These storms will culminate on and touching the 6th, attended by low barometer. higher temperature and possible light ning and thunder to the southward. Rain wil turn rapidly to sleet and snow, all followed by a full-grown cold wave. Reactionary storm period is central on the 11th, 12th and 13th. High winds and clouds will all show growing storm conditions by the 11th and 12th, but the crisis will fall on and touching the 13th. High winter gales, rain southward, and snow storms amounting to blizzards will sweep the country. Another wide and wicked cold wave will come on the scene on the 13th to the 16th. Another storm will develop and terminate from the 16th to the 20th. Renewed rain and snow storms will pass over the country during this period with high barometer, gales and cold wave following close behind and reaching most parts about the 20th and 21st. Reactionary Storm Period. A reactionary storm period will lie between the 21st and 24th, touching, perhaps the last of the 21st and the first of the 24th, its crisis being on the 2nd and 23rd. Renewed snow squalls will be general about these days and quickened cold will follow up to and about the 26th. A regular storm period covers the 27th to 31st, having its center on the 2Sth. As shown by the storm diagram, this last January storm period brings us a general mixture. By the 27th decided fall of the barometer will appear in western sections, and as this condition moves eastward it will merge into cloudiness, rougher temper ature and storms of rain, turning to snow. The crisis of the period will center on the 29th. Within thirty-six hours of noon on the 29th, especially on and following that date, heavy rain and wind storms will cross the country to the couthward and in central and northern latitudes rains will turn to snow and sleet, with indications good for severe gales and blizzards out of the northwest. The end of the month will be stormy and cold. OBJECTS TO FIRE DRILLS ARE MENACE TO HEALTH Superintendent of Chicago Schools Says He Knows of Many Children Made Sick by Running Out Into the Cold Unprotected. IPubllshers Press. Chicago, Dec. 31. Fire Drills in the public schools are declared by Superintendent of Schools Cooley, a menace to the lives of Chicago children. By turning the little ones out in the cold without wraps the superintendent says all are endangered, while he has personal knowledge of many who have been made seriously ill, and is not sure but there may have been loss of life. He approves the drills in principle, but thinks the manner in which they have been conducted a matter for prompt investigation by the school board. Several of the trustees support the superintendent and an inquiry is likely.

Student of Astrology at Washington, D. C., Fortells What Will Happen.

TEN CITIES ARE DOOMED CHARLESTON, S. C. AND ST. PETERSBURG ADDED TO THE LIST HE HAS ALREADY ANNOUNCED 1903 REDEMPTION YEAR. Publishers Tress-J Washington, Dec. 30. Edmund Scribner Stevens, a locs.1 student of astrology,, in a statement today added Charleston, S. C. and St. Petersburg to the list of ten leading cities of the world which he prophesied were to be destroyed the coming year. "I'm informed," he announced, "that a Mohammedan uprising will occur when King Menelik of Abyssinia dies, which will be in October. Raisuli will overcome the French in Tangiers and Emperor William will declare war against England. Famine, pestulance and the sword will follow." He says that 1908 will be a year of jubilee and redemption and he makes the following specific prediction: "Freedom for Ireland ' and home rule for Poland in April or May; death of the Shah of Persia In May; war in Asia Minor in April; arbitration of capital and labor troubles in the United States in June; home rule for Scotland in July; sinking of the Island of Manhattan into the sea in July; earthquake in Philadelphia and Bohemia in August and uprisings in France and Italy at the same time and wr in Porto Rico and Cuba in September. DAMES AND DAUGHTERS. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt has been presented at the English court. Governor Vardamau has appointed Mi3s Henrietta Mitchell of Jackson. Miss., as aid-de-camp on his military staff, with the rank of colonel. Mrs. Grover Cleveland, accompanied by a party of friends, recently made the ascent of Mount Washington, taking the rough nine mile tramp over the Crawford bridle path. Mrs. - Longworth is said to hav taken to the French metropolis "an ap petite for finery that was apparently insatiable" and to have spent a smal' fortune on ostrich feathers. . An inmate of the Home For Needj Confederate Women in Richmond, Va. is Captain Sally L. Tompkins, the only woman who received a commission from President Davis of the Confed eracy. She was a captain of cavalry. Miss Ethel S. Walton of Skowhegan is the only woman lawyer in the state of Maine, having been admitted to the bar a short time ago. Miss Walton received much instruction from her father, who Is a lawyer of high reputation. Miss Hudy Dyer, the first woman to become a member of a political club in Oklahoma, was elected to membership of the Checotah Democratic club recently and made a political speech which is said to have "backed the old timers off the boards." In the later years of her life only very intimate friends knew that Lady Curzon possessed a remarkably fine singing voice or that she had been a pupil of Mme. Marches!. People hard-1 ly gave her the credit for hating self! advertisement or for being shy, and yet J she did one and was the other. CURIOUS CULLINGS, The Calcutta police are required to catch sharks in the Hoogly in their spare time. One of the amusing signs in Salem is that over a paint shop. It reads, "Open Three Times a Day," with no further announcement of when those times are. A witness in. the Willesden (England) police court while under oath said that he had to turn a customer out of his shop because he persisted in paying a bill that be did not owe. An old lady on the witness stand at Bellinzona, Switzerland, gave her age as 102. But ft was ascertained on cross examination that she was 106. She explained that she wai ashamed of being so old." .

Furnishing an Opportunity. A Milwaukee man with a great head and some regard for the tender feelings that the young carry around in their bosoms has built a large apartment house, one side of which will be rented to bachelors and the other to sweet and lovable girls. In the center will be a common meeting place, presided over by a chaperon with not too bright eyes. That bbould help some. The reason why more young people do not marry is that they do not have a chance to get acquainted. There Is many a bashful young man- who "would gladly assume matrimonial responsibilities If some one would lead him up to a girl and hold him there until he got acquainted. We hope the building will prove the boon that its owner Intends, but matters will be much facilitated if he will equip it with plenty of fire escapes and have a good fire about once a week. Poetic Vision. Poets have such V. v. ' l,al beautiful fancies." "Yes, I know one who fancies Insclous steaks, but they to him are only beautiful dreams." A Hint. "So you are going to the races, my lad?" "Yes; thought I would just run up for a little while to see the fun." "You have a pretty good reputation here with the concern, I believe." "Well, yes, I rather think I have." "Hadn't you better Just check it with the timelroeper as you go out?" Kurd on BilL "Papa, what is a not able?" J'Er am-not able means incapable, Johnnie." "Well, is Kaiser Wilhelm an incapable?" "Why?" "Because it tolls about him here In the stories of the notables." Winner to Him. If you feel that you would like Something' that would be a winner. Give to some Meandering Mike A piping: hot Thanksgiving- dinner. Billy Figures. "What is love, Billy?" 'Theater tickets, florists' bills and boxes of candy." "Is that all?" "Well, I believe there is a girl thrown In, too, if you can find her." PERT PARAGRAPHS. Don't be afraid of work; it is no better than you are. The biggest fool doesn't always shout the loudest If his lungs are weak. To have a high ideal doesn't mean that she is necessarily tall. It sounds well to say that you are willing to confess your fault, but you are generally the most willing when you are dead sure your are not guilty. Do what you are paid for or your pay envelope will be going to another address before long. There is said to be such a thing as friendly criticism, but it never looks the part. The folly of; today may be the wlsJom of tomorrow, but dealing in futures is rash.
