How it started no one knows, but within a few minutes the boat was a mass of flames from stem to stern. Workmen engaged in putting in the Interior of the craft had left behind them fine material to feed the flames. The civic fire department responded quickly, but considerable delay ensued in getting the water turned on, it being nec- easary to bring the hose a considerable dis- tance or else chop holes through the ice By the timie the brigade was in full work« ing order practically nothing remained. Crowd Invades Flimsy Shed. of con- eide this The fire attracted an immense crowd, and it was in the eager quest for points of van- tage that resort was had to the shed of the Allan line. This building was but a filmsy affair, originally built so that it eould be removed from the wharf during the winter months. When a large number of people clambered on the roof attention was drawn to_the danger, and the police just began ordering those on the roof to get down when the collapse came. There was not much of a crash, and it was not untfl the screams of those pinioned by the timbers rent the air that the disaster was realized. A rush, was made to the spot, and for the next half hour there was a scene of be- wildering excitement and confusion. Thy rescuers pulled off the heavy corrugated iron roofing and twisted apart the broken timbers. Ambulances were called from all the hospitals, but it was fully two hours before the last of the victims had been carried away. Many were able to go to their homes. Two dead bodies were recov- ered, those of a man and a boy, neither of whom had been identified up to midnight The steamer was constructed last year at the Bertram yards in Toronto, and was brought down to Montreal.in the fall for its interfor fittings, and was to have gone into commission this spring on the Mon- treal-Quebec line. The Bertrams were paid $350,000 for the boat and engines, and fdlly $75,000 had already been spent on its un- completed fittings. There was an insurance of $350,000 on the boat. CHAUFFEURS SALUTE KAISER Four Acres of Automobiles Mass O ite Emperor William's Palnce. BERLIN, March 7.—Emperor William was saluted this evening by four acres of automobiles massed in ranks thirty wide and ten deep In the Lust Garten, opposite the old palace. The great square blazed with 1,200 torches, each machine having four of them, while the garten was rimmed with im- mense cheering crowds. This was the finale of the automobile parade. The pro- cossion was formed on the race course in the west end and proceeded through: the Their Garten, Brandenburg gate and Unter den Linden to the palace. The duko of Ratibor, who is president of the Assocla- tion of German Automobile Clubs, presented the emperor with an album showing the progress made by the automobile industry. The machines then proceeded in or to Charlottenburg, where an automobile exy position has been opened under the patron- age of Prince Henry.

It represents a Satyr approaching a nymph, while Jupiter surveys the scene from the clouds. It is a symbolic presentation of the struggle be- tween good and evil.

When one Dick! Mumma's money! of the shooters noticed plain clothes officers stealing in at the door, he took it for a holdup and meekly held up his hands, while a mulatto streak through the alr betokened the escape of another through the back door. Bui the eighteen In number, were taken to the police station in three trips of the patrol wagon. It was a spade flush every time. Tom W. Van of 614 North Fifteenth street, Ole Jackson of 1119 Davenport street, Bob Johuson of 1119 Davenport street, and Mack Smart of 1124 Capitol avenue, were charged with keeping a gam- bling house and thirteen of the others with gambling. The remaining two, who were merely onlookers, were held as inmates of the house The police for some time have had an idea that a game was In progress, but were never able to catch the craps on the move because of the careful outlook kept. Last night Detective Drummy, who wore for the first time an automobile cap like that ot Frank Danlels in the play, was able to ap- proach unrecognized and seize Charlle Tur- ner, who was on sentry duty. Emergency Officer Baldwin caught the other and the rest was easy “I knew you'd catch me sald Van, cheerfully, “but I keep open as long as I could.” QUARREL OVER BANDITS’ CASH Robbed Bank some time," thought I'd and Guarantee Com- pany Both Claim Money Found on Alleged Robbers. HARTFORD, Conn., March 7.—Late evening the booty found on Willlam this Ru- the western out- laws captured here, which amounts to $5,- 640, was shipped by Adams express to St. Louls. There were two attachments on it, one placed by the bank and one by the Ocean Accldent Guarantee corporation of London and New York, but they were re- leased after a conference this afternoon. The guaranty corporation insured bank of Union, Mo., for $10,000, and has since pald the amount. The loss outsida of non-negotiable bonds amounted to about $14,000, and the question has arisen to what proportion of the salvage bhelongs to each. This will be settled in St. Louls. The two men will be arraigned in the police court here on Monday and released, in order that Sheriff Burch of Franklin county, Miesouri, may rearrest them on the charge of murdering Charles Schur- macher, a Pinkerton detective, and robbing the Union bank. They will then be taken to St. Louls. The Poor M William Herring, Es s Doctor. @ promiuent at- Ariz., In speaking ot Chamberlain’s medicines. ‘says: “1 am very sinceresin eaying I have never known any advertised medicines to come 8o nearly up to the virtues they are labeled to po sess. This is particularly true of the ‘Pain Balm,’ which unvaryingly attests its merits . wherever we bLave recommended it. I never grow tired of praising it among my mining friends for its power to promptiy relieve and cure all sorts of hurts and injuries. Every miner and mining com- pany should have 4t on the list of indis- pensable supplies. It is surely the poor man's doctor."” Chamberlain's Pain Balm is an antiseptic | liniment and Is unequaied as a cure for cuts, bruises, sprains and like injuries. THUGS WOUND POLICEMAN Open Fire Without Warning on St. Joseph Officer, Who Returns Stots, ST.

The officer returned the shots without effect, the | the | WOMEN STREET PEDDLERS] Five Thousand of Them Do Curbstone Busi- nexs in New York Oity, COMPETING WITH THE MASCULINE FAKIR Possessing n Keen Bas Scent They Make More Monmey Than tenographers or Dep ment Store Clerks. | From the beart of New York's kaleido- scopic lite comes a practical contradiction of the common bellef that women form the weaker sex. Fully 5000 women work on the streets of the American metropolls in fair weather and foul. The sidewalk is their shop, the curbstone their counter. They know nothing of the barest comforts afforded by a poorly ap- pointed siore. They stand or walk about the whole day long, while carrying on their petty businesses. Yet they are strong, they enjoy life after their own fashion and they lay up treasure in banks of whose stability they have the best assurance. This steadily increasing army of street saleswomen does not include agents of any sort who make a house-to-house canvass, nor beggars who wear the guise of peddle It represents only those who have placed themselves in opem competition with the male peddlers who ery their wares and the fakirs who offer anything salable on the street corner, from half frozen frult to near-gold watches. Among them are numbered the push- cart women of the East Side, the mews- girls, the proprietors of vegetable and fruit stands, from the Battery to Harlem, the clerks connected with the dry goods stores on the upper East Side, the “body snatch- |ers” on Diviston street, the women who work cafe and theater entrances with | smokers’ supplies and the Romany women who infest the fashionable shopping dis- trict with so-called “hand made laces.” As the majority—perhaps 75 per cent—of these women live on the East Side, it is worth while to hear the opinion of & Ghetto physician who has a large private practice and who is also conmected with one of the leading dispensaries: ““Never waste your pity on these women who cry thelr wares on the street. They are more healthy than you ever dreamed of | being #n1 infinitely bett<~ off than the women who ) ut themsel'cs up in siully [ fiats. Their diet is simple, and this, with | their open air life, seems to harden them to all changes of weather. In summer it is a rare thing for one of them to be over- come by the heat, while a woman who | spends her days indoors will easily fall a victim to the heat of the blistering streets. In winter they rarely apply for cold or | grip remedies and rarer still is it to find |a case of pneumonia among them. As a | rule, they enter upon the life because they | like it. The mercantile instinct {s strong within them and if they cannot share the business of father, husband or brother, they coolly enter into competition with the men of other families." Take Care of Their Families, The ‘most interesting phase of the lite of these streets saleswomen, mostly of Jewish extraction, is their dual mercantile and domestic ability. A bachelor maid” is unknown among them. In truth, the mother of the family is most often in busi- ness, and if it be a daugher or unmarried sister, she continues to do her share of the household duties, and boarding away from one's relatives is unknown. Wiyes and mothers run both business and home with remarkable success. It the saleswoman looks after a fish cart or a bread wagon she must be In the wholesale markets at an early hour, but before departing for the scene of her labor she staris the simple breakfast of coffee, rolls and perhaps cggs, leaving the family to complete the preparations. In her ab- sence the husband leaves for his work, which may be in a tallor shop or on tho eidewalk gathéring up old clothes or junk. The children make ready for school, and the morning work which they cannot do awaits the mother's return during a lull in the morning's trade. Toward noon she trundles her cart homeward, picking up what she needs for lunch as she goes. The amount of housework she dispatches in that brief noon-time respite is amazing, and after it is dome she reappears at her stand for the early afterncon trade. The preparation of the evening meal Is fre- quently left to the children, who early learn the lesson of responsibility. It the older boys work, thelr earnin with those of father and mother, o into common fund, but the children are usually kept In school until the grammar grades at least have been reached. The mother may not have so much as a charcoal brazier to warm her hands while at her cart, but | toul. proceeds over to the padrone who sends she will keep the children presentablw for their teacher, More fortunate is the woman who runs a dry goods cart. Her hours are shorter and there is no early morning tramp to the wholesaler's. Her stock is merely a study in remnants, strips of cloth a few yards long, small bundles of lace, half a dozen pairs of hose and a dozen towels, all differ- ent. To sell an entire bolt of goods would mark an epoch in her trade history. Should & customer decide to buy a dress pattern the woman sends the youns hopeful cling- ing to her skirts in search of her husband, who Is at home, perhaps in the flat-house before which her cart stands, and he drops his tailoring long enough to assist in clos- ing the deal. These saleswomen of the streets take their business seriously. To the casual ob- server, the shoulder-shrug whioh accompa- nies the right,” uttered as a customer objects to the price and starts away empty handed, might indicate indifference to the loss of a sale. To the knowing omes it is evident, however, that the proprietor of the ridiculous little business has dropped to the last price notch and is secretly fretting over the departure of the customer. Sldewalk Stores, When the combined efforts of husband and wife will permit, they rent a corner store further uptown and stock it gaudily. They select a corner stand because the old outdoor instinct is strong within them, and what the shelves inside contain Is nothing compared with the stock displayed on the sidewalk. A stout awning provides protection from the weather, and nothing short of a blizzard or a deluge will drive them indoors. The stock of such a store includes every- thing In house furnishings and dry goods, and piled high on the sidewalk, in what is apparently hopeless confusion, are ready to-wear suits, lace curtains, wool under- wear and stamped oflcloth. And out of that confusfon the sidewalk clerk can instantly select the desired article. The women chosen to help the owners are rather younger than those who preside over the push-carts in the real Ghetto. Quite generally they are of the new, Amer- icanized generation. They dress their hair with great care, always adding a bit of decoration in the way of a bow or an artificial flower. They never wear hats, no matter how keen the weather. A shawl, it the weather is severe, and for ordinary wear a knitted fascinator, is all they re- quire. The Division street “body snatchers” are perhaps ‘the most notorious of the sidewalk saleswomen. In truth they are not sales- women at all. They simply lead the lambs inside the shops to be fleeced, but their hours are long, and they never know what it 1s to sit down. They are stationed outside the millinery shops which line this East Side thoroughfare. In summer they wear neither wrap nor hat, but in winter they don both, the latter of & type which presumably will advertise the establishment. During cold weather their hours are short, as they are expected to stamp up and down before the store only during such time as unwary women are abroad. During the summer they work far into the night. A News Girl in a Near-Seal Coat. News women are becoming so'common in New York that they excite no comment, but a case on the upper West Side has aroused some curiosity. During all sorts of weather a woman of perhaps 23 years presides over a small news stand in what is known as the Central Park West dis- trict, where many Wall street men reside. She opens up her stock about 3:30 o'clock in the morning ani remains perhaps two hours. Then she disappe: returning to duty for an hour or so about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Last summer she wore neat shirt walst suits and a trim sailor hat, but when she appeared this winter in a stylish pedestrian skirt, a near-seal jacket, a plcture hat trimmed with plumes and a muff to match the coat, her patrons were fairly dazzled. In stormy weather she doffed the plcture hat for a wide-brimmed Fedora, but the coat she wore through fair weather and She 1s exceedingly reserved and even her best customers could elicit nothing more than a quiet “good morning.” At last one bethought himse]f to tnquire at the newstand on the corner below. The proprietor, a bright-faced Irishman, replied, with a frank laugh: “Sure, that's me own sister, an’ it's a corner in stands we have hereabouts. Me cousin has the ome on the corner beyant | hers, an’ it's no Interference we have fiom anyone. - Mary—that's me sister—just works while the rush is on, for you see the men hereabouts is not' early risers, bein’ that it's a fashlonable neighborhood, an’ Denny an' me can_look after things when trade Is light. While Mary gets the breaR- fast for us we gets her papers ready. Whin her trade drops off, she goes back to the flat an’ makes the dinner, an’' we all have supper together. It's a great paper trust we have. Mary wouldn't work ‘cept to keep out the others.” Proficient Fakirs, No more proficient fakirs are to be found in New York than the women who sell laces and shoulder awls in the fashionable shopping streets. These women usually work in groups of two or three and cry their wares in a low, monotonous voice which sounds as if they were talking among themselves. They represent the Romany rac and insist that they can speak no English. Like the nfjority of the sidewalk saleswomen, they wear mo hats. Rain or snow has no terrors for them. dull-colored shawls over their heads and stand in a doorway until the worst has passed. Any one watching & group of these women will note that competition between them is not keen. They have a common object, to fleece the unsuspecting with American factomy goods and to turn the them out. To the careless observer, all these street Psoriasis, Scalled Head, Milk Crust, Tetter, Ringworm, efc. Speedily, Permansntly and Economically Cured, When All Else Fails, by @ ; The agonizing, itching, and burning of the skin, as in eczema; the frightfnl scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair, and crusting of the scalp, as in scalled head; the facial disfigurements, as in pimples and ringworm; the awful suffering of infants, and anxiety of worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tetter and salt rheum,—all demand a remedy of almost superhuman virtues to successfully cope with them. That Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made regarding them that is not justified by the strongest evidence. The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy have made them the standard skin cures, blood purifiers and humour remedies of the civilized world. Gomplete External and Internal Treatment Bathe the affected parts with hot water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the surface of crusts and scaies, and soften the thickened cuticle. Dry, without hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Ointment freely, to allay itching, irritation, and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and, lastly, take Cuticura Resolvent to cool and cleanse the blood. This complete treatment affords instant relief, permits rest and sleep in the severest forms of eczema and other itching, burning, and scaly humours of the skin, scalp and blood, and points to a speedy, permanent, and economical cure when all other remedies and the best physicians fail. As evidence of the wonderful curative properties of Cuticura Remedies, and of their world-wide sale, we quote from The Hon. Mr. Justice Finnemore's Letier “I desire to give my voluntary testimony tothe beneficial effects of your Cuticura Remedies.
