Dense volumes of smoke clouded the vicinity and upon the arrival of Chief Sullivan he ordered a second alarm turned in. After half an hour's work the fire was finally stamped out, the chemical engines doing most effective work. The damage is estimated at about $3000. Willlam Bogen Jr. stated that the damage was fully covered by insurance. A peculiar feature of the fire is that, as it was confined to the kitchen, many people attracted to the scene gathered in the dining-rooms and refreshments were served all through the excitment. A re- port was circulated that a fire had started on the second floor of the St. Anne's building. This, however, proved to be in- correct. The smoke that issued from the windows came from the fire in the base- ment and gave the impression that the whole bullding was doomed. It will be several days before the k.ichen of the Louvre will be in working order. H. Pauline Dinan, 24 Kearny.

FIGHTS OFFICER IND BETS AWaY Sacramento Man Sus- pected of Murder Makes Escape. Policeman Mansfleld F. Joy, whose beat is on Pacific street, last night captured Ira Jackson, a negro wanted for murder in Sacramento. As the policeman was searching him the fugitive suddenly de- livered the officer a blow in the stomach and before the latter had time to recover himself the much-wanted man had made his escape. The capture was made at the corner of Pacific and Kearny streets about 8:30 o’clock. Excellent descriptions of the man had been furnished by the Sacra- mento police, and the policeman had no difficulty In recognizing the man. He ac- costed him and the supposed murderer halted. Joy had in mind the experience of Detective Crockett, who brought an armed prisoner to the City Prison about two months ago and was nearly mur- dered on the way down, and he concluded to search his man for concealed weapons. As he reached down to feel of the negro's pockets he was partly stunned by a blow and as he turned he saw his captive run- ning at full speed toward Hinckley ave- nue. He blew his whistle repeatedly, at the same time running in pursuit. Z When he reached the alley the negro had disappeared and a thorough search by Joy and Policeman Nelson from Kearny street failed to reveal his where. abouts. The women on the alley could only tell the policeman that a negro ran past their places and disappeared. Policeman _Joy lmmed&tely notified Captain_of Detectives Martin, who told all of the detectives on duty to keep a close lookout for the suspected murderer and detailed Detectives McMahon and Reardon to watch the ferries, so that he mguldfll:a;mrer:-gu?rmrgty to leave the . _The; ed on O uty all night on Jackson and a negro named Carl Nor- man . are supposed to have murdered a Mexican vaquero named Trujillo in an outhouse in Sacramento about a week lost | ago.

Part of a Fortune for Building of a Myron Stratton Home. —_— Son of the Capitalist Gets Fifty Thousand Dollars Providing He | Does Not Make Trouble in the Courts. RSt SR COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Sept. 20.— The will of the late W. S. Stratton was{ filed for probate this afternoon. The | multi-millionaire left $1,000,000 to build | the Myron Stratton Home for Sick Per- | eons in this city, and bequeathed the res- idue of his estate, after being turned into cash, to the maintenance of the home. | Carl 8. Chamberlain of Brooklyn N. Y., | D. H. Rice of this city, and Tyson S. Dines are the executors of the will. The | will bears the date of August 5, 1902. The will of Stratton leaves the family homestead, No. 115 North Weber street, | | to Carl 8. Chamberiain of Brooklyn N. Y., including all furniture, books, heir-| looms, etc., but exciudes 'all personal | propefty. E. W. Hamlin, son of Mrs. | | Harriet N. Hamlin of Jeffersonville, Ind., | | is to receive $50,000; to a nephew, Harry | | B. Hamlin, is left $50,000; to Mrs. Jennle | | Cobb Strafton of San Jose, Cal., $50,000: | | to Mery Cobb Smith, Ancio, $50.000; to | Lillian 8. Cobb, now Mrs. Lillian Skelton | | of St. Louis, $50,000; to Mrs. Elma P, i Chamterlain, Brookiyn, N. 5 | Mrs. Claire Marie Dalback, H 8. Chamberlain, Brooklyn, | will then reads: PROVISION FOR THE SON. “To my son, 1. Harry Stratton of Tulon, Til., $50,000, in’ case he does not contest or | | cause to be contested this will.” | | “This son has lived away from the father | ever since he was born.” €oncerning him | there has been much speculation, as | | Stratton was divorced from his wife im- | | | | mediately after the birth of the boy. The | son visited the father but two or three | 1imes, and arrived in this city only after | the death of the multi-millionaire. He is siill in the city. The will further provides that $10,000 be | left to Byron C. Lodgan of Indianapolis, | Ind., and to the trustees of the Colorado | School for the Deaf and Blind of this | city, $25,000 to be expended in bettering | the ‘condition of the present school build- | ings. 'fhe main provision of the will is for the establishment and creation of the Myron 8. Stratton Home, “in memory of my father.” To this home Stratton leaves all his vast estate and the trustees are instructed to dispose immediately of all his holdings, all properties, moneys, cred- | its and other assets. From the moneys so realized $1,000,000 is to be expended in | purchasing a suitable site in this city for the home, after which the balance is to be utilized in erecting all suitable | buildings. It is belleved that another in- | strument exists, giving some plans for the home, the specifications for buflding and the management of the institution. OBJECTS OF THE HOME. The objects of the Myron Stratton Home are specified to be: “The erection of a | home for poor persons physically unable | to earn their livelihood, who either | through advanced age, physical debility | or otherwise are handicapped.” | The will expressly shuts out all those | who by reason of loathsome disease, gross indecency or insanity would imperil the | health and happiness of other inmates. ! The inmates are to be selected by the | board of trustees from residents of Ll ‘Paso County, in which this city is lo- cated, after which residents of the State may be received. The will further pro- | vides that the active management be left | to a board of trustees, and that proper incorporation of the institution be made under the laws. The accounts of the home | shall be supervised by the District Court or a beard of inspectors to be provided | for in the laws of the institution. In _order to secure the maintenance of | | the Myron Stratton Home the multi-mil- | lionalre instructs that the balance of the | estate not utilized in the establishment of the home be reinvested in good interest- bearing securities, the income from which is to be turned over to the trustees, to be used according to their discretion in keeping up the home. The will in con- cluding upon the subject of the Myron Stratton Home says: “It is my express desire that the in- | mates be clothed and fed not as paupers | usually are at the public expense, but de- cently and comfortably, and that whole- some food and necessary medicine be pro- vided in order to protect the health and comfort of the inmates.” The idea of the Myron Stratton Home was concelved by the late millionaire three years ago, when he was taken sick abroad and confined in a hospital for three months. Upon his return to this country he drafted a rough pilan of the nome idea, which he has since elaborated. come to this place for health is also be- ;}eved to have moved him to create the ome. @ siirinieileieledelvlvinlviniielininleiell @ mento to The Call said that at an early hour this morning Norman confessed to the police that he and Jackson decoyed Trujillo to the outhouse. where Jackson killed him by striking him across the head with a heavy plece of timber. The police do not believe that Jackson can get out of the city and confidently count on his capture. ADVERTISEMENTS. THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL. Few People Know How Useful It Is in Preserving Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disin- fectant and purifier in nature, but few réalize Its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing urpose. PR arcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and im- purities always t?re!ent in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onlons and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and improves {he complexlon, it whitens the teeth, and, further, acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. & It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it dis- infects the mouth and throat from the polson of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char- coal and the most for the money is in Stuart’s Absorbent Lozenges. They are ccmposed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal and other harmless antisepties in tablet form, or rather in the form of large, pleasant tastlnilozenges, the char- coal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the con- trary, great benefit. uffalo ghyslclan in speaking of the benefits of charcoal says: “I advise Stu- art’s Absorbent Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in the stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify ‘the breath, mouth and throat; I also_belleve the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but 25 cents a box at drugstores, and although in some sense a patent preparation yet I belleve T fet more and better charcoal in Stuart’s Absorbent Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.” i The large number of consumptives who |, ADVERTISEMENTS.
