The "South Carolina and Interstate and West Indian
Exposition."
Under this name, a very beautiful and successful exhibit of
the progress of Southern industry and art, and of the
possibilities of West Indian and Spanish-American trade, was
opened at Charleston on the 1st of December, 1901. The site of
the exposition was a tract of one hundred and sixty acres of
ground, only two and a half miles from the business section of
the city, embracing the famous old Lowndes estate, with its
historic mansion, which the present owner permitted to be used
as the Women’s Building of the occasion. Fine taste and a high
public spirit entered into the making of this very interesting
Fair.

The burning of the Iroquois Theater.
Chicago has now two of the most painful memories of fire that
are in the past of any city. The second was added on the
afternoon of December 30, 1903, when 588 people perished in
the burning of the Iroquois Theater. The audience was made up
principally of women and children, many of whom belonged to
prominent families. The whole city was plunged in grief, and
the whole world shared in the sorrow and manifested its
sympathy. The theater was a new one, and was regarded as the
best of any in the city in its method of construction. But
inquiry soon proved that it was defective in its provisions
for safety. Further examination, moreover, showed a similar
condition in other places of assembly, with the result that
all the theaters, with many churches and halls in Chicago,
were closed by order of the mayor, pending their compliance
with certain provisions of the law.
