Break- ing out in the KoHsmore Hotel the fire Kpread with great rapidity, biiffling for hours the efforts of the file brigade and hundreds of citi- zens. Three score persons, 20 being commercial nun, and the others pei'iBaoMit guests and employes of ^iMlfSa^^ were sleeping in the liobsiaore. Of this number fully fifteen,- clad only in their night- rol.cB, reached the ground by means of slidi'ig down ropes, with laeeratod and bleeding hands.

Fitz- gibbon then broke a skylight above the servants' quarters and by means of a ladder managed to bring three of the dining-room girls to the roof, whence all fled to saf- ety in their nightclothes. Judge O'Kcilly and his wife had a narrow escape in their plucky res- cue of young Harry, their son, who has been ill with pneumonia. They were able to drag the boy from his room and then over the roof of Lar- mour's dry goods store beyond the reach of the flames. The night clerk claim.s to have found fire while on his hourly rounds, when, as ho stepped from t'lo kitchen to the rotunda, he was met with a burst of fire that swept up the main stairway. He at once ran up through corridors, awaken- inj.; the inmates, one of whom, A. F. Birchard, of the high school staff, rushed in his night clothes to the nearest alarm bo.x. The hotel, of 4 storeys, was splendidly equip- ped with fire escapes, fire ropes, night watch and a watchman's cK>ck.

OIIflNS m OKIM SODP Recommended by Pittsburg Physicians to Reliev.e Tuberculosis. .V despatch from Pittsburg, Pa., sa\s: After one year in research wi rk twelve prominent physicians of thi,s section have come to the conclusion that onions, fine, lusci- ous, strong-smelling onions, are more than a plausible remedy for cousuniiitioii. While not absolute- ly declaring that onions taken in- ternally will cure tuberculuais, thtse twelve physicians assert that they have, through the prescribing oi" onions, or onion soup, relieved numerous cases of tuberculosis, anil they recommend that the physici- ftPK of the country follow this lead with an idea of eventually working out an absolute cure. One year ago .Saturday night tln.sc twelve physicians held an in- foiiual feast at the Fort Pitt Hotel here. Dr. Harry M. Qoehrtng dur ing the course of the meal related an experience he had with a tuber- cular patient in whieh he had sug- gested that the patient eat man/ onions. The stattmenfc of Dr. Goehring caused a long discussion, ad a result of which the twelve doc- tori agreed to prescribe onions to their tubercular patients, it hav- ing been agreed among them that onions could do no harm and might <lo a great deal of good. Saturtlay right, according to agreement, they mo; again. All had kept their on- ion agreement, aud a» a result all reported that every tubercnlar pa- tient who had followed their advice and freely partaken of onions had shown signs of improvement, tho one exc«piion being a patient in tho advanced stages. .\s a result of the meeting thjs physicians have de- cided to call upon their fellow-phy- sicians to extend the treatment. \l.,
