Miss Portia Willis Is Preparing Accouterments for New York- Albany March. NEW YORK. Dec. 29—Miss Portia Willis, one of the prettiest of the suffragists, is making one of the fa mous Pilgrim cloaks worn by General Rosalie Jones anil her followers on the “hikes” of the Jones army.

A special prayer for those who have passed or nearly reached the allotted span of life has been sent to Rev. Earl Rei- land. rector of St George’s Episcopal Church, by Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan, widow of the financier. Mrs. Morgan asks for divine help to "make the noblest use of mlj^d and body in our advancing years." to take from us all fear of death and all despair or undue love of life." Willis is a beauty! And so is Miss Jones! And yet Miss Jones unhesita tingly enlists Miss Willis! Was sir h thing ever known before? One woman asks another. And what i more marvelous, say the • women friends and admirers of tin* "general* and the “recruit,” is that in all human .probability the two will still be firm friends when they finally march up to the Capitol to give to Governor Glynn their message. Immediately after enlisting Miss Willis, “General” Jones redoubled her efforts to recruit her army, and soon 'signed" Mrs. < >ra Cectl-Bell, of No. 37 Madison avenue, a former captain of the Twenty-seventh Assembly Dis- triet of the Womfm Suffrage party. Mrs. Cecil-Bell also declares she ex pects to be with the "general” at trie finish, and will do all she can to have other suffragists join in the march. Mrs. Cecil-Bell is also well known as an enthusiastic horsewoman, and once rode from Philadelphia to Pittsburg. 'Phis will be the second hike the suffragists, under the leadership of "General" Jones, have made to Al bany. One year ago a band of 37 women, clad in sweaters, mackinaws, short skirts and square-toed shoej, started on their 140-mile walk. Though they all started with the declaration that they would "stick” t > the end, most of them found the or deal too much, and left a handful to present their petition in the interests of the cause to the Governor. Those who faltered by the wayside all insisted that they were heart broken because they could not finish the hike, but gave excellent reasons for dropping out. Many became foot sore and exhausted, and others found that their duties at home were so pressing that they were regretfully compelled to return to New York. "General” Jones also engineered a suffragist inarch to Washington sev eral weeks after the Albany bike and presented a suffragist petition to President Wilson. A* < •'''•■ .Yv ; :#sv 'J 5 E IS DESTROYED Blaze in Hay and Feedstuff Build ing Burns All Day Sunday—Ad joining Factory Damaged. A pile of smoking ruins Monday morning marked the site of the building of trie National Warehouse Company, at No. 319 Decatur street, which was razed in a fire that started at 3 o’clock Sunday morning and burned stubbornly throughout the day. Considerable damage was done also to the annex plant of the Na tional Pencil Company, w’hich adjoins the Warehouse Company’s building. Two hosemen of the fire depart ment, McConnell and Smith, of en gine company No. 4, narrowly escaped serious injury when the walls of the warehouse fell, and both were se verely cut and bruised by the falling timbers. Smith was pinned to the ground by a heavy section of iron plate, on top of which were several burning bales of hay. He was res cued by his mates before the fire could reach him. The blaze was one of the most stubborn the firemen have fought tot several years. Falling walls and tel egraph wires imperiled their lives half a dozen different times, and at several stages in the fight it seemed the fire had conquered and would sweep the entire block. The entire downtown fire-fighting apparatus an swered the first call, and several ad ditional companies were brought in from the outlying districts before Hie blaze was subdued. In spite of the early hour, large crowds gathered to watch the spectacular blaze, and a detachment of police was necessary to prevent the crow’ds hindering the firemen in their work. The loss to the National Warehouse Company is betw’een $30,000 and $40,- 000, according to the statement of Jo seph Gregg, president of th^, compa ny, and it is estimated that the plant of the Pencil Company was damaged about $10,000. The losses are under stood to be covered by Insurance. Firemen have yet been unable to determine the cause of the fire, but it is thought it caught from sparks from switch engines. The burned building was construct ed of sheet iron and wood, and was filled with grain, hay and feedstuff. Hunger Strike Can Never Kill, Says M.D. Special Cable to The American.
