BIG CHICAGO FIRES Beginning With 1871 City Has' Suffered Heavily. Iroquois Holocaust, That Cost SCO Lives, Occurred Curing Holiday Season—Sixty Killed in Burning cf Crib. Ch ;:co—Chicago in its short his • iry P..s endured many trials by Are. '!!. ;r- at nfiugmiion of 1S71, which rakes ra:.k as the greatest fire of odern .mes. burned over about •;iroo and one-hcJl square miles of .'round ar.d destroyed 17,450 buildings. Two hundred persons lost their lives. _ud ; .'.00 were made homeless. The loss was JlO6.CO1i.OOO. The fire started Oct. S, in the rear f the property owned by Patrick L- ary in the vicinity of Jefferscn r..l Be Kov-’n streets. It spread with rrvsi.-Tib’.e swiftness, leaping the river ar.d rntinuing its work of desiruc ■!nn n the South and North sides, w iping out si me of the finest business . d ■ sider.ee properties in the city. So staggering was the blow that for a t'me it was doubted whether Chi 'ag‘. could recover from it. Food and 1 itiung and vast stuns of money w^re sent to Chicago from ail parts of the tuntry. The spirit of the inhabitants n =e to meet the disaster, and on the ruins of the old city was reared the ■ ..ire splendid Chicago of today. Two cf the three other great Cres r.oe the conflagration of 1S71 oc -red In the winter season—the burn rg cf the Iroquois theater, Dec. 30, :n which more than 600 lives t.-r ’out, and the disaster at the >■ ■ . -y third str- et crib, Jan. 20. 1909. in which -isty men were killed. The oth' r fire, which had more in t : n the stock yard disaster, w is July l1*. 1S9". Fifteen firemen n the afternoon of that day. were i v,*d in .i lofty tower of a cold stnr ire warehouse on the world's fair r-< .- i-r C-.:T off by fire, they leaped .-nty-five feet to their death. The !- :r is theater fire was the! rrr.. • m the history of Chi '“c *, and rne c-f the worst in the an nals of m> jern times. It started du ring a ::: .ti-.ee performance of a t’hr ~’:..r riesque. In the space of a few mom.' ats the theater was con r. r -d lot a smoke-blackened mor gue. The f;.e r;cinated on the s'ace.

I'ar.i seized upon the audience. A stampede for the exits ensued, in • hirh many were trampled under foot and left senseless on the floor. Some f the exits were locked; others were hearted high with n barrier of bodies, r.nd Ir-hicd this human debris the sur virors battled desperately for life. Fbr a tirr ’he enormity of the dis . .-tcr da irted ’he rescuers, but in the theater Its* If many anonymous deeds < f heroism were performed. The whole city was plunged Into mourning fer the dead. No visitation so terrible had been experienced in •he at - of the world since the de «tr "tion of the Ring theater at VI rtia. when 700 lives were blotted out. Only hist year the burning of the Seventy-third street temporary crib cost Chicago sixty lives. The flimsy structure of wood above the icy wa ters of the lake housed 125 workmen employed by the George W. Jackson company, ine.. when the Are started. ] It was supposed that one of the work- 1 men had entered the powder maga zine with a lighted pipe in I’.is hand, j There was a rauKed explosion, and j flames enveloped the structure. The laborers, roused from sleep, found themselves struggling as in an oven. Some of them leaped Into the lake, where they perished from cold ana exposure. Others remained in the crib, whence their charred bodies were later removed in gunny sacks and tumbled into a common grave at Sou'b Chicago. Most of them we’-e buried unidentified. The catastrophe at the world's fair was witnessed by 50,000 pleasure seekers who watched the firemen drop to their death. On the day of the fire flames were discovered near the crown of the stack. Assistant Battalion Chief James Fitzpatrick led his men to a platform thirty feet below the flames with a lead of hose. While they were ! fighting the fire above It ate rapidly ■ down the stack under them and Fitz-! Patrick saw that they were trapped He ordered hts men to jump, and they were seen shaking hands on the tower ' when a coil of rope was hurled to j them from below. It was no sooner i secured, however, than it began to j burn, and as the men slipped down I its length they plunged into a fiery I pit below. Late in March of last year fourteen ! lives were lost In a fire in the fuml- j ture store of L. Fish at 1906 Wabash avenue. The victims, mostly young 1 girls, were penned in the upper sto ries of the burning structure. The latest fire was that of Decern her 21. which destroyed the Morris & Co. plant at the stock yards, in which ' Fire Chief Horan and twenty-five other firemen and three civilians lost ' their lives. LIQUID NERVES ARE FOUND New Discovery With Regard to Phe nomena of Sense of Sight An nounced by Scientists. Manchester.—A new discovery with regard to the phenomena of the sense of sight has been announced by Dr. F. W. Edridge-Green, an eminent au thority in visual research. He has found by an interesting series of ex periments and tests that the process of vision is not the simple transmis sion by the optic nerve to the brain of objects photographed on the retina. The discovery, in non-tcchnical lan guage, amounts to this: In front o' the retina there is a email chamber or sac of clear liquid which is in con stant motion of currents or eddies. Doctor Green finds that this liquid itself contains distinct perceptive ’ nerve power which plays an important part in conveying impressions to the brain. In other words, this wonderful liquid contains liquid nerves, so to speak, which transmit to the understanding a considerable part of the impression it receives of color, form, etc. WAY OF SAVING OLD BOOKS German Chemists Succeed in Com pounding Preparation Which Pro tects Manuscripts. Berlin.—Chemists of the Royal Prussian laboratory in Gross-Lichter fvlde near Berlin have succeeded in compounding a preparation which pro tects ancient books and manuscripts from decay. The new preparation is described as a cellite-solution and is now being manufactured in bu,k by an Elberfeld chemical firm. All state archives and libraries throughout Germany have been noti fied that the new substance should be adopted for the preservation of val uable records and documents. As an illustration of German thoroughness it may be mentioned that the laboratory chemists previously tested every grade and kind of paper in the market with the solution before recommending it for general adoption. SYMBCLS MARK IRISH CHILD Mayo. Ireland.—An extraordinary story of a child marked by the symbols of the Passion in Klltlmagh convent. County Mayo, is told by a representa tive of the News of this city. A girl, aged thirteen, has been a boarder in the convent for the past three or four years. She is described as a docile, affectionate child, and is a great favorite with the nuns. About three weeks ago one of the sisters heard this child screaming during the night, and when she questioned her the girl told her she had a fearful dream, in which she saw Christ on the cross and a soldier driving a lance into his side. The nun comforted the child, who fell asleep. In the morning the child complained that her wrist and arm were sore. On examination It was found that her forearm was marked with a cross in red. Cnderneath the cross were the letters “I. H. S." A few days later there appeared below the letters a crown of thorns. Two or three days later there appeared above the cross, and surrounded by a scroll, the letters "1. N. R. I.” A few days subsequently there appeared beneath the crown of thorns a chalice surmounted by a 1 ist sending forth tadiations in red, and after the same period there appeared a flower-shaped drawing, near which was written the word "Ldly.” The marks extend from the wrist ! to the upper arm, and have been | examined by Father O'Hara. P. P_ ■ Kiltimagh; Pr. Madden. Kiltimagh. : and very many others, including sev eral Protestants. A remarkabic feature of the occur rence is that the stigmata bled copi ously. A careful inquiry is being insti tuted by the religions authorities, who. while admitting the strikingly wonder ful nature of the phenomenon, refrain at present from any expression of opin ion as to its origin. The evidence in proof of the occur rence is said to be of the clearest and most indisputable kind. Pr. Madden and other gentlemen who have seen the marks are quite positive that they j are not self-inflicted. ___ I TELEPHONE GIRL GIVES BOND Hotel r.ianagement Puts Penalty on j Patrimony Because Cupid Has Been Too Industrious. Spokane. Wash.—When Miss Mar car t Perkins went to work as tele phone cperator in a local hotel the [Other day U* ■ management required her to give a bond not to marry with in six months. The instrument, duly signed and spall'd, holds Miss Perkins’ bondsmen liable to the extent of $300 in the event she becomes a bride on i I or befor • June 21, 1911. The sureties I are prominent business men. The n-asoii for this unusual require ment by the betel management is that ! a half dozen telephone operators have married w ithin as many months, the . last two being Miss Florence Joyce, : who recently married a rancher, and Miss Olive Bourne, who has gone to Rockland, Mich., to join her intended ] I husband. "I ..m not engaged to marry any j one. nor do 1 expect to enter into an engagement during the coming six ! I months,” said Miss Perkins, a comely brunette, "and for that reason my bondsmen have nothing to fear. Of course, I have received a proposal or two, but 1 am not ready to settle down for life. “The making of a bond is a matter of business with the management of the hotel,” the operator continued. “There Is more or less trouble every time a new operator is ‘broken in,' the rule being'that as soon as a girl becomes efficient she deserts the switchboard to join heart and hand with some mere man. “As I said, I am not ready to be come the wife of any man. therefore the management has nothing to fear so far as I am concerned. “The two young women working on the other eight hour shifts will also be required to give bonds, 1 am in formed.” A. G. Benson, manager of the house, believes that Miss Perkins and the other operators will carry out their agreement to the letter. j PLAN TO IRRIGATE STEPPES i John Hays Hammond, Mining Expert, Also Considering Canals and Tramways in Russia. St. Petersburg.—John Hars Ham mond. the American mining expert, is j being received here by the depart- j ’ ments of commerce, finance, agricul- ! ture and communications, with dis liactions usually given to the head of i an important foreign mission. He re i fuses to commit himself as vet as to : I definite schemes, but the Russian i press credits him with the intention of j | proceeding forthwith with the con struction of grain elevators to cost $50,000,000. Mr. Hammond is also considering conditions for employing American capital and engineering skill for the irrigation of the steppes and cen- ! trai Asia, and also for canals and : tramways for the great cities. The canalization of St. Petersburg is re garded as urgent, as the only means of ridding the city of cholera. Sir ■ A.

The noonday meal may be oce in which the frugal housewife is able to use the left-overs of the previous din ner. unless of course the dinner is served at noon. In that event, the sup per dishes may be largely daintily pre par'd le't-overs. If a bit of creamed vegetable, cam rot, cauliflower or peas is left over, wash the sauce off of the vegetable in cold water and use them with salad dressing for a salad. Many times it is better not to combine several vegeta bles. but dress them with a salad dressing and arrange them in small piles on the salad plate, each in a lettuce nest. This is called macedoine of vegetables. When a few lamb chops are left over, spread them with a thick white sauce, well seasoned and mixed with two tablespoonfuls of chopped, cooked ham. Dip them in egg and crumbs and fry in deep fat. The chops, of course, are seasoned and cooked be fore the white sauce is added. A few peanuts added to a lettuce salad ard French dressing adds nutri ment and makes a pleasant change. A delicious dessert for luncheon is made by beating the whites of three eggs, adding six tablespoonfuls of pow dered sugar and three-fourths of a cup of grated pear with a tablespoonful of lemon juice. Beat all together •un til firm, and serve with a boiled cus tard. Quick Eread Pudding.—Cut thin slices of bread Into two-inch squares and arrange in a buttered baking dish with layers of raisins or any bit of left-over canned fruiL Pour over it a pint of milk to which three table spoonfuls of sugar and two beaten eggs have been added. A bit of cin namon or grated nutmeg may be add ed. If any pieces of pastry arc left in making a pie. cut them in tarts and fill with preserves or jelly. Surprise Pjdding.—Mold boiled rice in a border mold, turn out on a stone platter, act with bits of butter and brown in the oven. Fill the center with canned poaches, pears or apri cots, drained of their juice. Pile whipped cream over the top. sprinkle with chopped nuts and serve. i", 1 " i i . E GROW like w hat wo eat.

It Is a fruit which contains a pepsin that is able to digest albuminous foods, hence it Is a valuable aid to digestion. Pine apple is especially nice with bananas, and combines with any fruit. Prunes are no longer despised, and the more expensive kinds may make a really elegant dish. Bananas are an other fruit always in the market. Figs, dates ar.d oranges are always with us. Manx- people find the banana hard to digest, but if a little care were taken to prepare them that difficulty would bo overcome. Skin and scrape them carefully before eating, to re move the tough, stringy pulp, which is highly astringent. Bananas are served sliced, sprinkled xvith sugar ar.d lemon juice, or with sugar and cream. Baked in their skins, many find ! bananas votv appetising. Serve with a ! sauce of sugar, lemon juice and but- j ter. Bananas are good in combination with an equal quantity of sliced or anges: sprinkle with sugar and serve. Bananas With Csreal.—Slice fresh bananas into a saucer, sprinkle with sugar, cover with boiled rice or any cereal ar.d serve with sugar and cream. Cranberries are another wholesome fruit, reasonable in price and good to serve as a sauce or as an accompani ment to meat. When using them for pie. a way that is not common, is to use two crusts and cut up the berries or exit them In halves, adding the I amount of sugar needed and bake as any fruit pie. If it seems to be liable to boil out and lose the Juiee, insert a raper funnel in the opening of the pie. The juiee will boil up in the fun nel and net then be wasted. Quinces are another popular winter fruit. The quince must be cooked to be palatable. For Baked Quinces, core and wipe carefully, fill the cavities with sugar and bake in a slow oven several hours, basting with butter and lemon juice. A Chapter on Soups. What keener pleasure may life hold for a housewife with a sense of humor than to see a family refv.se sausages one day and gladly eat soup based uron these self-same sausages the very next night? Some jokes, of ne- ■ cessity must be enjoyed alone, though ■ most pleasures are doubled by shar- ' ing." —Olive Green. Mutton and Potato Soup.—Add one cupful of cold mashed potatoes to six i cupfuls of mutton stock. Reheat, sea son to taste, and thicken with the j yolks of two eggs beaten smooth in half a cup of cream. Panada.—Put into a stew pan three quarts of beef stock and half a pound of stale bread crumbs. Simmer until the bread is soft, strain through a sieve, season to taste and serve. Onion ar.d Cheese Soup.—Slice four large white onions and fry brown in ! butter, adding two tablespoonfuls of flour. Add two quarts of beef stock and one quart of water, season with salt and pepper, and boil for ten min utes. Toast thin slices of bread in the oven. Putter a soup tureen and put a layer of bread in the bottom. Sprinkle with grated cheese, repeat until three layers of hread and cheese have been used. Pour boiling soup | over. Let stand a moment, covered, and serve. Combination Scup.—Chop fine a pound each of salt pork and lean beef. Add a quart of baked beans, a bunch of celery, cbopped fine, and a large onion sliced. Cover with cold water, simmer for three hours, rub through a sieve, reheat, skimming carefully. Season to taste, and serve. Sian and Tomato Soup.—Cook to gether for half an hour, in cold water, one can of beans. Rub through a sieve, reheat, season with salt, pepper and Worcestershire, and serve with dice of fried bread. Never throw away any bones or scraps or trimmings of meat. If not sufficient to make soup stock, they will be an addition to sauces and gravies.

The properties of fruits of ail kinds are so essential to our diet that they should be more often included in the menu. Apples are new a fruit that may be obtained all the year round. The malic acid which is contained in the pome fruit is especially valuable to counteract the uric acid in the ; blood, which is the cause of rheuma tism. When served whole, apples should be carefully washed and rubbed to a high polish with a coarse tcwel. The Italian street venders find that apples so treated look better and so sell bet ter. An apple should never be eaten without washing it. as germs of all kinds may thus be carried into the system. Wash, quarter and core good eating apples, removing all imperfections. Serve a few quarters on each plate, with or without sugar. Fruit with lit tle flavor may be sprinkled with a grating of nutmeg or a sprinkling of lemon juice. Many who will not take time or trouble to prepare an apple in the morning will enjoy a few pieces all ready prepared. Wash and cere apples without peeling them, put into an earthen baking dish with a little water, sugar and bits of butter, bake slow ly until tender. Leaving the skin on the apple makes a baked apple of much better flavor. As a dessert, ap ples rnaye be served in any number of ways. Apples a la Ninon.—Sprinkle baked apples with freshly-grated coeoanut on taking from the oven. Serve on a mound of boiled rice with the milk of the coeoanut for a sauce. Apples Baked With Oates.—Wash and core apples for baking, fill the centers with stoned dates, sprinkle with powdered sugar anu hake, basting with butter and water with a little lemon juice. Another way of serving baked ap ples is to prepare them as above, and. instead of the dates, use a banana drawn into the center of the apple; | trim off the ends ar.d baste with but- j ter, water and lemon juice.

Gift of Speech. It is the man who can talk who becomes a mayor, or president of some learned society, or the chairman of a board of directors or of some commission or conference. There may bo other men more expert or more profound, or better endowed with the faculties of organization or adminis tration. These must serve as those who only stand and wait. Their influ ence. however potent and far-reaching, must be wielded more or less in se cret. Not for them the plaudits of the crowd or the fame that is in the | world's mouth. Their work, however, must wait for the judgment of poster ity to be appreciated at its true value. The exercise of their supreme vir tues must be—apart from any world ly emoluments or honors that their in cidental achievements may bring to them in passing—more or less its own i reward.—Edwin Pugh, in I Ain don T.

Peace falls upon distracted households when these pure, sweet and gentle emollients enter. No other treatment costs so little and does so much for skin sufferers, from infancy to age.

Cannon of Harvard, dis cussing anti-vivisection literature at a dinner in New York, said with a smile: “This literature, in part at least, is as flagrantly erroneous as the medical department conducted by a young col lege girl in a weekly paper. A sam pie reply in this department ran: “ 'Bereaved.—The reply given last week was a mistake. It should have been ten drops of laudanum, not ten cups of laudanum.
