CHILDREN'S FATAL PLAY.
GIRL BURNED TO DEATH. Australian and Is.Z. Cable Association. (Reed. 9.5 p.m.) PARIS, Feb. 10. Three boys, the eldest nine, years old, watched their sister, aged four, being burned to death during their parents' absence. They saw their mother earlier preparing cupping glasses for their father and determined to play at doctoring. Obtaining glasses, some cottonwool and alcohol, they placed lighted wool in the cup, but as they tried to put the cup on the back of the supposed patient the alcohol fell on the little girl who died in agony.
