Courtesies Extended to the Ingrate in This Country Repaid With Calumny. LONDON, March 12.—Rev. F. B. Meyer, who was recentiy the recipient of endless courtesies in the United States, has fur- nished an interviewer with a column of insulting commiserations for the “wicked- ness” of his late hosts, which, for a dis- play of ignorance, it would be hard to beat. He makes wholesale charges of chicanery and corruption against public officials, and says he is able to substan- tiate every ome of the charges of W. T. Stead. Mr. Meyer asserts that he found it unsafe to waik in the towns of Kansas after dark, except in the middle of the road, owing to crimes of violence. In regerd to his interview with Presi- dent McKinley, all Mr. Meyer could say was that the President was ‘pleased to hear we combined his name with the Queen’s in our services, and he thought the truest bond between the two coun- tries was found in the Christian good will | uniting the churches of both.” Elizabeth Flood’s Will.

Child Born With Two Heads Has One Successfully Removed From the Other. SWEET SPRINGS, Mo., | remarkable surgical operation was per- formed to-day on a three-month-old child of John Hamilton, which was born with two heads. After a consultation with the surgeons at the sanitarium it was decided to remove the abnormal head, which was located back of the nat- ural head. This was done and over three ounces of brain matter taken out. The abnormal growth was nearly as large as | the natural, and there was considerable doubt among the surgeons whether the abnormal could be removed without af- fecting the natural. The surgeons say the child will rapidly recover from the effects of the operation. They also maintain there is no danger that the child will be mentally weak as a result of the operation, but that its life | will_be saved and it will be a robust | chila. | OVERDUE PARIS SAFELY REACHES SOUTHAMPTON.

Dwellers on the Upper Floors Cut Off From Escape by the Flames. Spectal Dispatch to The Call NEW YORK, March 13.—Many lives were 1ost in a fierce fire that started at 2 o'clock this morning in No. 105 Bowery. After the blaze was gotten under control by the firemen, an hour later, nearly a score of charred bodies were found on an upper floor. | Chief Bonner, who was in charge of | the fire, conducted an investigation when it was possible to enter the build- |ing. He said he 3wnuld probably number between thirty Iand forty, and possibly more. | The building is five stories high. On | the first floor is the Bowery Mission, | and the upper floors are occupied as a | cheap lodging-house conducted by the | mission. There were two hundred men ‘as!eep when the fire was discovered. W. C. Robbins, one of the lodgers, scented the smoke, and upon investiga- | tion found a seething furnace of flame | roaring in the rear. He shouted an alarm from the front | window and a citizen passing in the street sent in a signal from a box. Mr. Robbins ran through the upper floor, arousing the sleepers. By this time the flames had gained great headway, and the thick smoke | penetrated the entire building. The | lodgers ran into the halls in confusion with such articles of apparel as they | not time to could seize. Many had the take their clothing, and ran to street in their sleeping garments. ‘When the firemen arrived long lad- | ders were placed to the windows, and the firemen of Truck Company No. 9 were active in effecting rescues. All | escape by the stairs was cut off when | the firemen reached the burning build- | ing, and the men were too panic-strick- en to think of the roof. | 'Chief Bonner said that at 3:30 o’clock | seventeen bodies had been found. They were scattered from the second floorup. Most of them were on the third and | fifth floors. The firemen brought the first body out and placed it on the sidewalk at twenty minutes past 3. As the bodies were recovered they were laid on the sidewalk for possible iden- tification and then sent to the Morgue. Stevenson, a lodger, carried Fitz- patrick, a blind man, who had the room next to his, out on his back. Fitz- patrick could not understand there was a fire, and fought hard to resist being rescued. While the firemen and police were fighting with those in the hallways, a man made his appesrance at the wi | dow on the third floor. He threw his foot out on the ledge | | and hung on for a few moments to the coping. A crowd had gathered in the street, and they cried to him to hold on. But the flames me out of the window | and so singed his hands that he was forced to let go. A cry of horror went up from the crowd below. The man, before letting ;gn. threw himself outward, and as he | fell the crowd separated. ' He landed | just beyond the sidewalk. For a mo- | ment he seemed stunned. Then he | arose to his feet, felt himself all over and hobbled away, disappearing in the | | midst of the crowd. The firemen worked inside the building until the | heat and smoke forced them out one | | by one. The scaling ladders and the life- | nets were then resorted to. Water was peured into the building in torrents, but the flames seemed to increase in fury. Many of the ried down the ladders. | almost in eve as they were out to jump to the | street from the windows on the upper | floors. | When the flames were under control | at 3 o’clock one of the firemen who had | made a tour of the entire building emerged and reported to Chief Bonner that he had seen at least forty dead | bodies. His report was that he had discov- ered two bodies on the first floor, five | on the second, eight on the third, twelve on the fourth and thirteen on the fifth floor. | At 4:30 twenty-six bodies had been recovered.

Strange Conduct of Three Miners on Their Way to the Klondike. _Baney Chinetto, Julius Gilli and Desire Veriarede, three miners on their way from Australia to the Klondike, went to a restaurant at 27 Stockton street yester- day morning and ate about $5 worth of victuals. After they had finished they refused to pay the bill. The proprietor called in Policeman Prowse, and he tried for nearly half an hour to get them to pay up, but without success, and he took them to the City Prison, where they were charged with defraudin an_innkeeper. ‘When searched Veriarede had sixty-one English sovereigns in his pocket. Judge Campbell happened to visit the prison_and Chinetto and Gilli told him that Veriarede had asked them into the restaurant to have lunch with him. They did not have any money with them and expected that he would pay the bill. The Judge released them on their own recog- nizance, and Veriarede put up $20 cash bail. —————————— J. B.

SANTA ROSA, March I12.—Arrange- ments for the great Rose Carnival and Pythian celebration to be held in this city during the week beginning May 16, are rapidly nearing completion and there is now no question but that the event will be the most successful affair of its kind ever held in this part of the State. Since the programme was first given to the press some slight alterations have been decided upon by the executive com- mittee, but none of any particular im- portance. The excursion to Bohemia, near Guerneville, has been changed from ‘Wednesday, May 18, to Thursday, May 19. This will necessitate changing the date of the grand Pythian ball from Thursday to Wednesday evening, but aside from these slight changes the programme will remain as previously announced for the week. This evening Grant O. Richards, chair- man of the invitation committee, sent out personal invitations to Governor and Mrs. J. H. Budd, Senator George C. Perkins, Congressmen Barham, Magu Hilborn and De Vries, State Controller and Mrs. E. P. Colgan, Secretary of State Brown, Attorney General Fitzgerald, members of the Supreme Court, Mayor Phelan of San Francisco, Mayor Thomas of Oakland, Major General Dickinson, His Grace Archbishop Riordan, Right Rev. Bishop Nicholas, Hon. John D. Spreckels and several /thers prominent on_ the coast, many oi. whom have already signified thelr desire to be present and take part in the week's festivities. All committees are hard at work, and at the meeting held this afternoon the most flattering reports were received from all along the line. The entire city is enthusi- astic over the interest every hand, and that the gallant Pythian Knights are interested is shown by the early inquiries for rooms and accommo- dations that have begun to come in to the committee having those matters in charge.
