Our relations are of the most friendly character. If the occurrence has caused her anguish I deem it my duty to remove the case, Following the receipt of Miss Garden's letter Mr.

Rammerstein called in the copy for thie morning's advertisements and left a blank where the announcement for the evening of Saturday week had been. He explained that perhaps he would put the first thing necessary is to remove some can to aid Miss Garden in those fifteen four time Misa pede culty. another nothing her am performances the this He Cavalieri other opera very might performances was peaceful season, of on work be anxious would that and done confident, first Salome," from settlement to night for sing do which her he suggeated. in of however, Thais probably said, would order whatever the A shoulders. that imdiff- that some the I "and With Louise, Thais, Melisande and the Jongleur--all of them popular--it is an absolute impossibility for her to add fifteen performances of Salome.

Mr. Clemens said that he had been sorry ever since his September burglars had been sent to jail, because they really did him a very great service -they scared off all the servants on the place. He spoke of the great services of the post -graduate school in bringing 20,000 physicians here from all parts of the country, bringing them up to date and sending them back with renewed confidence. He thought they surely saved 100,000 lives which otherwise would be lost.

An enlightened community would always, he thought, demand the highest medical advice--or it would soon cease to be enlightened.

After an hour's discussion the members desided to refer the question to the committee on sessional records, to report at the April meeting. The request for the letter came from a member of the Hoagland Memorial Church at Dover, The church laws covering granting of letters of dismissal were looked up and read over, but did not seem to cover clearly the case. "The member of the Hoagland Memorial Church has applied in proper form for his letter." said the Rev.

William P. Keeler of Madison, who was moderator of the meeting. the question is. Can mich a letter He issued? Christian Science is not recognized as an evangelical church by the Presbyterian denomination." Then arose the Rev. Robert H.

Forty-two, all more or leas seriously injured, were rescued by tugs and brought to shore, whence they were taken to hospitals.

Confined in a fiery prison, with all means of communication with the shore cut off and the icy, waters of Lake Michigan all about them, the workmen made desperate fight for their lives which was witnessed by crowds on the shore. As soon as the alarm was given prompt measures of relief were taken, but the quick spread of the flames in the wooden structure and the distance to be covered made these efforts all but fruitless. The fire originated in the powder magazine on the first landing. Many of the employees were asleep bunks and others were just going to work when a sheet of flame shot through the building. Among reported dead are Connors, assistant superintendent: John MoDonald, timekeeper; William Scully, laborer; John Thorpe, cook at the crib; Jame: Donaldson, hoisting engineer; Edward hoisting engineer; Edward Scanion, hoisting, engineer; John Jefferson, hoisting engineer, and George Willlame, superintendent of tunnel workings.

It WAS only a few moments until the crib was A mass of fire and attracted attention all over Hyde Park and Woodlawn. Hundreds of persons gathered on the shore end policemen from the South Chicago and Grand Crossing police stations paced up and down the lake front, powerless to render aid.

Ambulances were 800n at hand, but the imprisoned men could not be reached. The tug Morford was moored alongside the crib when the fire broke out. Twenty-six of the men were picked up by the boat, crib which was compelled to leave the by the heat. An explosior drove the little vessel further from the crib and the captain was compelled to make for shore, leaving men who were hanging to ice cakes and to their fate. As the tug steamed away some of the despairing men were seen to choose death rather than torture and to jump into the water.

The fire tugs Conway of South Chicago and the Illinois were notified of the fire and went to the burning structure under full head of steam. The life saving crew also went to the work of reecue, but by the time they reached the structure most of those who had been left floating on the lake had disappeared.

The note, written on Union League Club paper, told her that he was taking the boy South for a while, and enclosed was a sum of money. Her husband added that she could follow if she wished, but did not tell her his destination. Mrs.

Sloane told the detectives that her husband had been acting queerly, and that they had "the usual lisagreements of married but that there had been no court proceedings.

Joseph H. Choate spoke against the proposal, intimating that the committee's duty was only to arrange the details of the celebration in this city. Mr. Choate said that Congress was already taking steps to erect memorial and suggested that it would be more advisable to wait and see what Congress would do.

WHAT AILS SOUTH JERSEY? Strange Conduct Even Though This Is the Hot Apple Toddy Season. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. south Jersey had posses out to-day hunting the devil," the strange monstrosity.

according to all accounta, which has been leaping, flying, running and hopping over the towns in that section for the last week Most of those who have been scoffing for the last two days began to-day to believe there is something stranger than usual about south Jersey. The "devil' leaves two tracks like those of a pony, the cloven hoofs being clear. It walks on two legs and shows a facility in scaling six foot fences and leaving its tracks a mile apart that has made south Jersey argue that it has wings. Its tracks were found to-day in Philadelphia in two places, 4521 Sansom street anu 2337 North Sixteenth street. Its course ranges from Woodbury, Salem, Gloucester, Clayton, Williamstown, Glassboro and all the towns in Cumberland county.

The "Devil" gets its name from the fact that thirty-five years ago there was a similar appearance, of which the tracks started from a cave at Leed's Corners in Cumberland county. In Gloucester it has been seen. Nelson Evans, a paperhanger living at 208 Mercer street, Gloucester City, declares that he and his wife saw the "Devil" early this morning as he sat on the roof of their back shed. White faced and trembling, Evans entered police headquarters there this morning. "About 2 o'clock this morning." said the paperhanger, "my wife and I were aroused by a noise on our shed roof.

went to the window and looked out and then I called to her. We saw the strangest beast or bird, I don't know which, you ever heard of. "It was about three feet and a half high, with a head like a collie dog and a face like a horse. It had a long neck, wings about two feet long, and its hind legs were like those of a crane. It had horse's hoofs.

It walked on its hind legs and held up two short front legs with paws on them. It did not use the front legs at all while we were watching it. We hid." WAITED TO DON HIS TROUSERS. Delay of a Tenant Costs Him His Life in Tenement Fire. A small fire in the five story tenement building at 1:3 Franklin street last night resulted in the death of one man and made it necessary for five families to spend two hours out in the snow until their abode was clear of smoke.

The fire began at the foot of a dumbwaiter shaft and shot up to the fifth floor. Scurrying tenants turned over some oil lamps -the house had no other lightand that added to the confusion. The firemen put the blaze out quickly and they and the police got all the tenants out except Charle3 Lawrence, a dock foreman of the Old Dominion Line. He was found by Deputy Chief Guerin lying face downward unconscious in a room on the top floor. He was taken to the Hudson street hospital, where he died ten minutes after arriving.

Lawrence's wife said her husband had called out to her a few minutes before he was found: right, Molly, I'll be down A8 800n 89 can get on my trousors.

Mayoralty Not Mentioned. the Avalanche of Compliments Seemed to Point That Way-And, as Mr. Metz Nays, It's a Job Any Man Would Like. Comptroller Metz, who has attended more dinners in honor of other persons than any other man in New York -he says 60 himself -was himself the guest of honor of about 500 business men At. the Waldorf -Astoria last night.

No special organization or organizations of business men entertained Mr. Metz. His hosta were men of affairs in Brooklyn and Manhattan who responded to the call of dinner committee to come along and whoop it up for a regular fellow. Mr. Metz refused believe that the dinner was arranged to launch his boom to for Mayor, and none of the men who were responsible for the dinner and the lanche of compliments would admit that the banquet had been designed as a sort of hot air retort for the distention of one large boom, but there was a pretty strong idea that the men who attended the dinner, Republicans as well as crate, wouldn't complain bitterly if Metz agreed to be a candidate.

There were no speeches on that particularly subject, however. Politics was left in the coatrooms. Mr. Metz himself said, informally, that he hoped nobody would say that he ought to run for Mayor. If anybody was so indiscreet, he would get right up as quickly as he could and say that he wasn't seeking the office.

"Still," remarked the Comptroller, man who says he wouldn't be Mayor of New York is a damn fool!" Henry R. Towne was toastmaster and some of the men who sat with Mr. Towne and applauded for Metz were President Finley of College of the City of New York, Edward M. Shepard, Ralph Peters, Edward 'Lauterbach, Gen. E.

Wilson, ex-Senator Owen Cassidy, H. H. Vreeland, Judge Warren W. Foster, Arthur Brisbane, R. Ross Appleton, John Jacob Astor, Herbert F.

Gunnison, Robert Adamson and Charles T. White. There were mighty, few active politicians present. Senator McCarren was too busy to attend. William M.

Ivina WAS sorry he couldn't be on hand. Mavor McClellan wrote that Metz was a fine fellow. The Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis in his letter of regret, said of Metz.

"The best is yet to come." Other letters and telegrams of regret were read from J. Pierpont Morgan, Frederic R. Coudert, E. R. L.

Gould and President George McAneny of the City Club. Mr. Towne, starting the speechmaking, said that Mr. Metz WAR a square man who had given the city a square deal. Then he introduced Henry Clews, who took twenty minutes in attributing to Mr.

Metz all of the virtues mentioned by the best authorities. To Mr. Clews Mr. Metz was the pearl among Comptrollers, a regular Sir Galahad of a financial sharp. Among the other speakers were F.

Ingly Ill, but Is Improving. YONKELN, Jan. -At the home of Clara Morris this evoning F. C. Harriot, husband of the actress, said that she has been a a'armingly ill but ha: undergone a change for the better, and he anticipates that her recovery is now but a matter of time.

It is said by friends close to the family that Mrs. Harriot was dangerously sick and that her condition two days ago was critical. Mr. Harriot was asked to make a statement in order to reassure the many friends of his wife who during the last week have been making anxious inquiries as to the condition of the former theatrical star. He replied: -You may say that we appreciate most highly the concern which has been mani-fested by Mire.

Harriot's friends and that I am thankful indeed to the press for the kindly interest which it has shown. do not care to make any further statement at this So large have been the number of callers and telephonic communications of inquiry regarding Mrs. Harriot's condition that it has been found necessary ternporarily to discontinue the telephone at the Harriot home and also to discontinue the door bell. The noise made by the frequent ringing of door and telephone belle has a tendency to aggravate the illness of Mrs. Harriot.

COLIMA IN ERUPTION. Mexican Volcano Discharging Ashes and Pumice--City Not Alarmed. GUADALAJARA, Jan. volcano near the city of Colima is in eruption. It is throwing out a great quantity of ashes and pumice stone.

There is no lava flowing on the city side. a Several slight earthquake shocks have been reported from that region within the last few days. Predictions of more severe earthquake shocks are made by seismologists. The volcano emits smoke and flames from its crater and can be seen at night by ships miles at sea. Slight tremblings of the earth in the vicinity of the volcano began to be felt Ave days ago.

These were followed by a series of detonations from within the crater. The smoke which it emita even in its most passive state became denser in volume and an outburst of ashes and pumice ocourred yesterday. The rain of ashes is still falling and occasional flashes of fire from crater light up the heavens for many miles around. It is reported that lava is flowing from the lower orifices of the crater, situated on the western side of the mountain, but this is not verified. During its last violent eruption a few years ago the summit of the mountain was blown off and new openings were formed lower down through which the lava flowed in large streams, running into the deep barrancas which lead toward the sea.

The Manzanillo extension of the Mexican Central Railroad was recently built close around the eastern and southern base of the mountain. Fears are entertained that the present eruption may interrupt the operation of the road. The country adjacent to the mountain on the west ie sparsely settled and little damage can result from an overflow lava. The people of the towns Tuxpan and not Colima are showing no uneasiness over the eruption, although these places are close to the base of the mountain. MOTHER DEAD, CHILD DMAY LIVE Sorrowing Parent Believed to Have Planned the Death of Both.

Mrs. Agnes McDermott, 37 years old, widow of John F. McDermott. a New York city politician and officeholder who died about two years ago, was found dead yesterday in bed with her unconscious daughter Catherine, 8 years old, at her home, 625 Garden street, Hoboken. Two gas jets in the bedroom and one in an adjoining bedroom were open and the house was filled with gas.

It is believed that Mrs. McDermott planned death for herself and daughter in the early morning hours and turned the gas on when she was sure that the little girl WAS sleeping soundly. The child was taken to St. Mary's Hospital. She remained unconscious until last night, when she showed signs of responding to treatment.

The nurses said there was a chance that she might get well. Mre. McDermott grieved greatly over the death of her huaband. She moved to Hoboken in order to be near the home of her father, Jeremiah Kelly, a retired Hoboken public school principal. JENKINSES WIN A POINT.

Justice Scudder Grants Change of Venue in One of the Cases. Justice Scudder in the Supreme Court. Brooklyn, yesterday handed down a decision denying the motion of District Attorney Clarke for a reargument of the motion made before him in February last for a change of venue in the case of John Jenkins and his three sons, indicted for conspiracy in connection with the alleged illegal use of the funds of the Jenkins Trust Company. The motion for a change of venue was granted by Justice Scudder, but owing to the neglect of counsel to settle the order no actual place for holding the trial was designated. Justice Scudder, however, denies the recent motion for a change of venue in all of the other indictments against the Jenkinses.
