Hart, 1010 Twenty-first street, who lost her life in the Iro quois theatre fire in Chicago,, will be buried tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock from .the home of her father. John En!ih, at Atkinson. 111. The teleirrams that caiv.e to the hus band Thursday were misleading. One read that Mrs. Hart was at the "Home hospital." but what it was meant to convev was that she was at some hospital, as she was numbered with the inisr-tr.ir. This information was sent by .John (iilles. a cousin of Mrs. Hart, in the hoje that .-he would be found alive during the day. The l;o!v was not located ;ntil '.) o'clock Thin sday nii;ht. Mr. Hart was accompanies to Chicago by County Clerk H. P. Hubbard, his friend and neighbor. "We arrived in Chicago at .1:'M in the afternoon." said Mr. Hul- bard toil ay." Mr. Hart was prostrat ed when he learned the worst. We prevailed upon him to stay at a hotel while Mr. English. Mrs. Hart's father. and niyseif took up the search that anxious rclnmes had been pursuing without success since the afternoon of the tire. At '.) o'clock we discovered .Mrs. Hart s Imu! v m Sheldon s morgue. She was hcvoiul recognition, and the only means of identification, was her shoes, having purchased a new pair here the day before her departure for Chicago. Clotliln? Kurnert I'rom Body "The clotliing was hurned from the body down ti the waist. Two other men were standing before the body, and one of thein had about made up his mind that it was that of his ini-.--ing wife. 1 was po.-itie. however, that it was Mrs. Hart, and at my re quest an officer removed her shoes. The one on the left foot had no iden tification marks, but on the nc on the right foc.t appeared the name of Dolly Pr.s., Hock Island. Mr. Eng lish also identified Ihe overgaiters. having placed Ihem on his daughter's feet when sin- left the home f her cousin. Dr. Ered Smith, for the thea tre Wednesday afternoon. The jewel ry had been veinec:l from the body and sti red. We afterward secured it. but it was s- badlv charred that it would have bien impossible to identi fy the hotly by it. "Mrs. Hart went to the theatre with her sousir.. Mrs. Ered Smith, and the hitter's daughter. Mauriiie Smith. .Mother and daughter perished also. Their bodies were found in ln differ ent morgues in j.iit cf the citv re mote from wh'-ie Mi-. Ilait remains were located. Dr. S..iilh had bought three scats for ti e lirit'mec in the sec ond gallery, intending to go with his wife and daughter. After -ccuring the sc. its they were surpri-ed t.i hae Mrs. Hart and her lather drop in on them for a tisit. Ii! Not WKIi to AtteiKl. "Dr. Smith endeavored tr secure an additional seat with the three already procured, but was unsuccessful. Mrs. Hart tii I net wish to attend the per formance, stating she preferred to regain at the house for a rest, as she lens tatiguerl tre.ni iracl. but when the doctor and Mrs. "mith insi-ted. she consented. Dr. Sn.it ii got stand ing room in the parquci.

ILLINOIS SAID TO BE ONE OF SAFEST OF THEATRES Chicago's theatre tragedy naturally has resulted in iht examination cf the pla.v houses in every city i'l the land in order that there shall not be ab sent during a future performance the rccaution- the lack of vv hich brought the death list of last Wednesday to such an appalling number. In Hock Island the people have made inquiries concerning the safety of Ihe Illinois, despite that they have I ecu assured time and agaiir that no fears are warranted, as the house can be emptied in a few minutes. Erom the exterior it would appear as though there was no exit from the top gallery except the one small stairway on the inside. While there is no fire escape i n the outside wall of the building frcm the top gallery, it should be stilted in justice to the management that there is a large dct.r opening in to the hallway divicing the offices at the front part of t-e gallery. There i alwavs some one present whose duty it would be to llirow open this (.'in r in case of an emergency. The gallery, it is claimed, could le em- tied in three minutes. Erom the liabonv there arc ivvo vvioe Mairw-n s emptying into the fmcr t n the first floor, this furnish ing adequate exits for the second fioi.r. There is also a fire escape on the west, side of Ihe building leading from the balcony. Eor the parquet, aide from the main entrance, there are lhrte doors t pelting into Sixteenth st reel ihat are ojiencd at the coiielu- sm-!i f each erforuance. "Desi :te the fact that the Illinois is as well protected as any theat-in tne st;;te, the owner nt the property am! the management are to have a meeting and thoroughly examine the building to see that if usage of the past two years has made any precaution- necessary.
