■.-;;■ BIT-NED TO -DEATH.
A Flaming Christmas Tree the Cause of
an Old Lady's Heath. -
'. • A Christmas tree took fire yesterdiy after
noon," at 5:30 o'clock, in the house of Joseph
Penrose, on Gratz street, at the corner of
Diamond, resulting in the death of Grand
mother Fit/.-innlions, aged 70 years, says the
Philadelphia Times. The tree was stand
ing in one corner of the parlor, and was
decorated with tinsel and other small trin
kets and illuminated by small wax -candles.
.Grandmother Fitzsimmons had made this
tree her especial care. bhe had, with loving
hands, placed on It the night before the
various gifts intended for the children, and,
as the day advanced, -sat- down in their
midst to enjoy the felicity of the happy
smiles arid playful shouts of the little ones.
The children were all playing around the
room, and Mr. and Mis. Penrose were in ad
joining- apartments. All were happy, for
this was Christmas day and this was
grandma's tree. ■
■ But suddenly, and in some unaccountable
way, one of the candles became loosened
and falling. ignited the tinsel on the tree,
which in an instant was a sheet of flame.
The children screamed loudly, and Mr. Pen
rose and his wife rushed Into the room and,
thinking the house was in danger, ran to the
door to give the alarm. Grandmother, how
ever, ran to the tree intending to remove
some of the trinkets on it. in doing so,
however, a light shawl which she had on
her shoulders took fire and she was iv a
moment in a blaze. She fell back on the
floor in a dead faint, and before any help
could bs given - was burned to death. Her
face was charred and the skin peeled off to
the touch, while her lower limbs were shock
ingly burned.. The neighbors who hod
rushed to the rescue iii answer to the alarm,
put out the fire, which did no. damage to the
house beyond charring a table and blacken
ing the "walls.
Medical aid was at once summoned, but it
was too late to- do anything for grandma,
except to alleviate her sufferings.' She lay
00 the sofa" surrounded by the weeping fam
ily, her hands clasped in prayer, and there
she died. There was no more singing in
that house nor even in the neighborhood.
All was silence. Sorrow hung like a funeral
pall over every house in the vicinity. ' Even
the passing children .stepped softly and
spoke in whispers as they told each other
the story of the awful death of Grand
mother Fitzsimmons. •

BOARD OF EDUCATION
A General Onslaught on Superin
tendent Anderson..
Assistant Superintendent Babcock Holds the
Floor to Tell Director Woodward What
Ec Thinks of Him.
The Board of Education held a special
meeting yesterday afternoon and closed up
what has been in many respects the most re
markable career of any like body since the
administration of the " tough old board.''
It proved quite a busy meeting and much
more interesting than was expected.
Among the first matters taken up was the
election of a principal for the Douglas
School. Miss Tarpey and Miss Hattie Can
were pi aeed in nomination and the vote re
sulted in 7 for Miss Tarpey.
A long petition was received from the
patrons of the Douglas School, in Eureka
Valley, asking the board to appoint Mrs.
M. E. Moore principal. The reasons given
for asking this appointment were that she
has been a teacher in the Sauchez-street
School for nearly fourteen years, had proven
herself thoroughly competent in all grades-,
ana had endeared herself to every pupil in
the school and ths community at largo.
QUIETLY S .UELCIIED.
The petition, according to the usual pro
ceedings, was referred to the Classification
Committee, but which in this case was sim
ply a quiet way of squelching it.
Accompanying the petition was a commu
nication Irom Mr.. Moore, personally apply
ing for the situation. It was sent with the
petition to the Classification Committee.
Life diplomas were granted to Miss Ger
trude 11. Cahulin, Miss Amelia Goldstein
and Miss Mary ii. Keating. Stato educa
tional diplomas were granted to Miss I'eile
L. Senilar, Mis. Julia A. Itainey, Miss Hat
tie J. Carr aud Miss Georgiana L. K. Elden
inuller. SEP
Miss Susan McGarey of the day school
substitute class was assigned. to a vacancy
iv the hittier School.
The resignations of Miss .Myra A. Gibson,
assistant in the Peabody Primary School ;
Mrs. A. B. Anderson, assistant in the
Hayes Valley Primary; Miss R. Abraius,
assistant in the Columbia School, aud Miss
Winifred White, assistant of the Broad
way Grammar School, were received aud
accepted.
A leave of absence was granted to Miss
M. E. Collins, of the Mission Grammar
School, from January ."rili to March otli next.
AS REGARDS a FEW SALABIKS.
The Committee on Salaries recommended
that the salary of the principal of the Grant
Primary School be fixed at SUO a month,
from Januaiy Ist; that of the principal of
the Edison Primary at Sl3O a month, 10111
December 1, lSi'O, and of the principal of
the Douglas Primary .100 a mouth ; al.-o that
Miss Tarpey, who was elected to the priuci
palship of mat school and has been acting
as such since December Ist, draw that sal
ary from that day. "1 he report was adopted.
Superintendent Anderson, throng. 1 his
assistant, Mr. liabcock, notiiied the Board
by communication that under the rules of
the department he could nut sign the war
rant for SlL'oo to pay for seveuteeu type
writers.
These typewriters were purchased for the
commercial school. The original order was
for twenty, and as the cost of three of them
was within, the limit that the board could
authorize they were paid for.
The bill for coal, of some $2500, about
which there was discussion at the previous
meeting of the board, was still objected to,
and referred to the incoming board. The
special committee to whom the matter
was referred for investigation reported that
samples had been taken from three schools
and submitted to an expert. It was found
as suspected, that the coal was not Welling
ton, for which the contract calls, but Coos
Uay and Gilmore, the cheapest in the mar
ket. Further investigation was recom
mended.
VISITING COMMITTEE'S REPORT.
Under the head of the retoit of the Visit
ing Committee, Director Woodward read a
lengthy document from which tie following
is an extract— the extract embraces
all of the report, except a few unimportant
introductory lines:
I find the leathers painstaking, earnest and
conscientious, l-ut In ueed ol Uie encouragement
tliey should have [ruin the visits and advice of
lhe Superintendent, llow mile Interest Super
intendent Anderson lias taken In .1111 schools is
shown by an inspection ol 1 lie ollicial reports ol
rhe iltllerent principals Inr the nasi year.
In that time lie visited -to ot the 06 day schools
aud none ol the 5 evening schools. To these 20
schools lie went til. limes, 20 ol these limes vis
iting only the principal or one class teacher,
but making a total of visits to principals ana
classes ul 111.
How lone these visits were and how cniirin". v
lie iur-i ecleil the classes Is shown from the nine
spent in examining une school, which was being
iuvestlitated under charges, wuen he visited the
principal aud 12 classes in one forenoon, in each
of the mouths of January, August anil Septem
ber he visited hut one school, In May when he
attended me closing exercises, he visited 7
schools, the gieatest niimbet* tor any one monlli.
Some of these :;_ dltlereui vlslis weie doubt
less 111 011 the same day, but supposing that each
was made on a separate day, we have remaining
the fact that only ou 30 days, at tin- outside, of
Ihe 200 school days in the year, did Snpeilu
tendeut Anderson make even a pretense of at
tending to (he principal duly of his position.
As lv lhe (line spent In his oilice durlug hi.

can have nodetliitie lecoid. Those who have gone
day alter day without seeing him call speak feel
ingly on the subject.
AT MEETINGS OF THE HOARD.
Or the thlrty-tlitee meetings of lhe board lie
lias teen present at seventeen, having come to
the city lor lhat purpose uu several occasions.
An In-! ecllon of the lecord shows no failure to
draw lull pay. Comment Is uuoece-sary.
In tins connection It may be well to call atten
tion of lie board lv one of the slsteineuls in the'
.Super luteiident's last annual rei oil. lie says:
"lv lire selection of teachers, the most sacred
duly Imposed upon the board, and the duly
which moie than any other lhe members of tire
board are least capable of preforming— lias no
voice. Seldom Is be called upon to express an
opinion el.. live io the cbaraciei or qualifications
01 any party proposed lor election us a teacher.,
etc."
' The fact is that lie has everything to do With
the eleclluiijof all teacher-, and that It is In in.
sole power to pteveui the election of any Incom
petent ones. The School Directors may nomin
ate and elect temporarily only such parsons as
have the necessary certificates signed by the
Mil eiiinenueiil, and Beet. on 18 of thu rules pro
vid. s that be shall at the expiration of six
nit-nth- probation report "upon the succesiJof the
probationer, whereupon the board shall cmi
firm or annul the appointment, according as the
lepoit Is favorable or the reverse."
tiring his (our yeais' Incumbency lie has never
reporieu unfavorably upon a single probationer.
I he cily and the board are therefore to be con
gratulated upon having no Incompetent ie..cn
em added to tlie derailment dining his termor
office, though possibly, had be visited the schools,
he might have round one or two' teachers open
to the criticism be bestows so generally upon all.
BABCOCK IXTKHItUITS.
Before the Director had lung proceeded
with bis reading he was interrupted by As
sistant Superintendent Babcock, who raised
the point of order that the report Is a per
sonal attack upon a member of the board,
who was not present.
Chairman Dalton maintained that the
point was not well taken because, even
though absent in person, the Superintendent
was represented by his assistant, who bad
a right to answer the charges, if any were
made.
When the reading concluded Mr. Babcock
again arose and branded tiie report as a
cowardly and indecent attack upon one of
the most tireless, faithful and conscientious
officials who ever occupied a position of
public trust It was so cowardly, he said,
that if Superintendent Anderson had been
present in person the Director would never
have dared to make it. Frowning savagely
at the Director, Mr. Babcock told him he
had knowingly put a lal-e light upon the
whole situation, and if lie bad the courage
or decency of a mouse would not think of
fathering such a shameless document.
ONLY FATHERED THE BEPOBT.
Mr. Babcock intimated very strongly that
Woodward had only fathered the report by
signing and reading it, but that Director
Stone was in fact the author of it. He said
it was a complete answer to itself, and hoped
that in vindication of the man it maligned
the press would give it thorough publicity.
Addressing Mr. Woodward lie added:
"You criticize the Superintendent for not
visiting the schools, when you know per
fectly well that the rules of the board do not
require him to, but that such Is made my
duty, and you daren't charge ins with hav
ing neglected that duty."
Again Mr. Babcock branded the report as
one of the most contemptible things that nad
ever taken place In the hoard, and was -inly
sorry that Superintendent Anderson could
not be present to answer it in person. Ho
was compelled to bo absent on account of
having to go to Sacramento to look alter
matters in connection with the State Super
tendency, to which office he was elected.
The insinuation that the Superintendent
was never in his oflice Mr. Babcock said wits
basely false, ns either he or bis assistant had
always been there, at the usual hour.
BABCOCK WOULD KOI DOWN.
During Mr. Babcock's remarks Director
Woodwind attempted to call him to order,
but lie would not down. Pretty nearly every
statement be made Chairman Dalton under
took to argue with him, nnd , rule out, but
tbe angered assistant would not hush, and
kept ou talking till ho hnd uttered what he
[ had to say, He was only sorry, he said, in
conclusion, that he did not have the time
and strength (being nearly sick) to take the
report and answer each point separately.
Director Stone moved that the report be
adopted, and the Chairman was about to
put the motion when Mr. Dabcock demanded
tho ayes and noes.
Stone protested, ne said the ayes nnd
noes were not needod. The Chairman, how
ever, called for them, and to the disgust and
dismay of Stone and Woodward, they and
James were the only ones that voted for it
Ford, Wempe, Tains and Dalion voted
against it, and McDonald and Flint were
excused.
. The board then adjourned, and nothing
was said about meeting again next Monday,
as usual, out of courtesy to the new board,
so as to formally turn the business of the
department over to tlieir successors.
HOW TO PREPARE FOOD.
Dr. Steele's Lecture at Cooper
Medical College.
Best Methods of Extracting Nutritious Por
tions of Meat — Value of Beef Tea
and Blood as Food.
Last night at Cooper Medical C ollege Dr.
C. 11. Steele delivered one of the popular
Lane Lectures taking for a subject "The
Preparation of Animal Pood." He said:
••Tho subject of food is certainly impor
tant, since it comes more directly than any
otlier affair of humanity Into contact with
the daily Happiness or misery of every In
dividual. It is also a subject which, more
than any other, has been consigned to un
merited oblivion. The taste, rather than
the value, of the food is usually the subject
of consideration. .
"What is animal food? Besides milk and
Its products, every portion of the animal's
anatomy. with the exception of the solid
parts, as bone, hair, . etc., has been utilized
to vary the monotony of the tabic. The
brain, tho tongue, the stomach (In the name
of tripe), the heart, the thymus gland or
pancreas (uuder tho title of sweetbread), the
liver and kidneys have each their vota
ries. • But the staple article of animal food
is the flesh, which is so much alike iv the
birds of the air, the beast of the held and
the fishes of the sea that a -ingle general de
scription would suffice. The value of flesh
as a food — that Is, its digestibility and nour
ishment — depends greatly upon its method
of cooking."
Dr. Steele stated that thero was a fluid
substance in the muscular fiber, known as
muscle plasma. Alter death, this muscle -
plasma coagulates and forms two bodies —
one solid, called myosin, and the other
watery, railed muscle serum. The muscle
plasma (before coagulation) is a fluid of
Blrupy consistence. This muscle plasma is
the nourishing part of meat, and wheu de
sirable for the invalid is best given alone in
its natural state, before It coagulates. This
can be accomplished in only one way. Im
mediately after the death of the animal, be
fore rigor mortis commences, the meat
should be kept in a temperature of 82° (the
freezing point), and cut transversely into
thin slices with a cold knife. The frozen
slices are then wrapped in linen and the
plasma pressed out by means of a metal
lemon-squeezer, also previously cooled. It
should be eaten immediately, lv this very
impracticable method all the nourishing
material of the flesh Is obtained, and in its
most digestible form. After the muscle
plasma has been allowed to Coagulate into
the solid myosin and liquid serum, cook
ing is required to render it sultaoie for
digestion.
Having considered the semi-fluid contents
of the muscular fiber or thread, we will turn
to its walls — the surcoleiuma, or ihe muscle
tube itself. This substance is always solid .
and is so strong thai it is ruptured with diffi
culty. This sarcoleiuuia is solid, aud re
mains so even after long boiliug in water.
It is, however, slowly dissolved by simply
heating it in dilute solutions of .acids and
alkalies, and in the digestive fluids of the
body. As meat always contains the neces
sary proportion of acids or alkalies, this sub
stance is softened by prolonged cooking in
warm water in such a way as to retain the
juices in the meat. If, however, the tlesh is
placed in gradually heated water and vio
lently boiled, so that the salts are absorbed
from the meat by the water, the sarcoleiuuia
becomes hardened and tough, and the well
cooked meat becomes insipid and stringy.
Blood would itself seem to be the ideal food
for nourishing the living blood in our _*-
teries and veins.
In Paris it is unite the mode for fashion
able ladies and their escorts to revive their
energies by a visit to La Villette and drink
the fresh, warm blood from the cattle, so.d
thorn by tile butcher txl 80 centimes the.
glass. Hut sucli blood lias no mysterious
life-giving power.
Meat contains 20 per cent of albumen, and
blood only 10 per cent, and is eveu less
nutritious than ordinary beer.
BEHEADED FOR A MISSTEP.
How King He, la/ in of Dahomey I'tlni-iieil
line of the ltoyal Urine. t*.
De Conrville, the French Envoy, thus de
scribes his first interview with the King of
Dahomey : ■ fffvM
Amazons In their white uniforms were
hurrying about; troops of slaves escorted
men over whose heads were held golden um
brellas, and whose lower limbs bore the blue
garter, the Dahomeyan badge of nobility.
All were converging toward a low nnd large
building in the center of the town, whose
whitened waits contrasted with the palaces
of cane' ami hardened mud surrounding it,
and iv which dwelled the aristocracy of Da
homey. The low building was the residence
of royalty. Not more tnan twelve feet in
height, and constructed of sand brick plas
tered over, it was nevertheless extensive and
commodious, being quadrangular in form and
extending about HOO leet on each side, in
closing nn ample court-yard. De Courville
was escorted into the court-yard and there,
be says, he met a sight the grotesipieness
of which will haunt him as loug as
lie lives. On a chair, or throne, covered
with lion's skin and shaded by an umbrella
of gold «nd silver, sat "Bedazin, the
chair being on a platform raised about two
feet above the level of the yard. On each
side of the throne stood a powerful Amazon,
carrying drawn in the hit hand a short
heavy sword with a bright, keen edge.
About the King were ranged a score or more
of his chieftains. On the opposite side of
the yard was another platform, raised at
least three feet. Along the edge of this plat
form were imitations of lamp-shades, or re
flectors, as if some one had tried to devise a
theatrical slit us closely as possible under
the circumstances. On the * stage some
twenty women wore leaping and dancing
with all the suggestiveuess of the can-can,
but without the inimitable Freucliiness,
which has made that performance attractive
to many. The women were handsome
negresses, evidently from the royal harem,
and they seemed to treat the dance as a
compulsory duty that could not be over too
soon. They had manifestly been trained to
the performance, and handled their heels
remarkably well considering their limited
opportunities for satisfactory rehearsal.
The King received De Courville as an old
friend and caused a stool to be brought for
him to sit down on. The Frenchman had
hardly been seated when one uf the dancers
made a misstep. The King was swift to no
tice it. He said nothing, but with his right
hand made a peculiar sign to the Amazons
not unlike the '"police verso" of tho ancient
Romans which condemned the unlucky
gladiator. The two guards strode swiftly to
the stage. They seemed to know by instinct
who was indicated. Seizing a young, fine
looking woman among the dancers, they
dragged In r from the platform and before
she could titter a shriek she was beheaded,
the head rolling almost to the feet of the
King, The dancing wont on just as if noth
ing had occurred, the remaining dancers not
daring even to notice tho fete of their.com
panion. Bedazin was no doubt secretly
anxious to hear the news brought by the
French Envoy, for a few minutes later he
arose from Ins throne and retired to his
audience chamber, the performance ceasing
as soon as his back was turned.

There were several people on the street yesterday
who had Just passed through the experience of be-
ing extremely close to the doorway dividing life
and death. Mr. Peter A. Anderson, who lives
at 13001/ - . Stockton street, was one of them. Mr.
Anderson tells the story of his own struggles ov-er
his own signature. He writes: ' "Eor two years I
have suffered from lung -troubles, sciatic rheuma-
tism, and could get no relief, although I tried sev-
eral of our best phvslclaus, until I went to the Cos-
mopolitan Dispensary. • <*■> ;.•-=-.'
"1 have been under. their treatment for a short
time and am much improved. I leel stronger, and
the pains have all disappeared. I -have every rea-
son to believe that they will' make a permaneut
cure of my case.
