about his place Monday afternoon an oil stove
standing near the stairway suddenly exploded
with terrific report. scattering burning fluid
in every direction. In an instant the flames
were bursting out of the front door, and
Grocer Fretschze. living across the street, ran
out OF his place to sound the alarm.
As he looked up he was horrified TO see two
women seated at a second-story front window

when they saw the danger. caught up her twin
babies, and with her friend stood shriel-ing for
help. Both women were frenzied and wanted
TO throw the children TO the crowd below. but
were begged to desist until a ladder could be
secured.
Suddenly Bauman appeared at the window.
He had bravely fought for his store. but find-
ing the struggle useless remembered the
women and children above ard rushed to their
rescue. The flames in the stairway burned his
hair and beard of and scorched his neck and
arms to blisters, but he reached the little group,
now almost blinded by the smoke.
With the children in his arms he crept along
the narrow projecting bulk window top and
placed them in safety IN the home OF NJ. Sauler

The Monument Tip Reflection,

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
beg leave to correct a mistake in my letter
of May 80 in regard to the length of time that
the sun itself is reflected by the monument tip.
If the surface of the apex were perfectly fiat it
certain the time could not exceed two and a
half minutes, whereas on Tuesday morning, at
the Capitol. there was hardly change of bright
ness for twenty minutes. The cause is plain
The eastern face of the apex is not perfectly
fat the reflected rays are spread over a larger
area and consequently are longer in passing
given point.
The reflection from the north face lasts much
shorter time and is. / think, brighter.
L hope Il. o. H. will forgive me for unwisely
opposing theory to experience. {. X.

The Crowds WHO Have Ecen Present Com
pared With Those Mt the Centennial.
Kansas City Times.
One of the significant features about the fair
attendance is the great prepondorance Of WISH
tors from the eastern states. Probably the
knowledge which western people had OF the
Chicago climate during the month Of May had
something to do with it. but the railroad rates
are more directly responsible. The eastern
states had their state buildings more nearly
completed when the fair was opened. and have
pushed the work along more rapidly than have
the western boards Of managers. With the
month of June the fair directors expect the
rush to begin from contiguous states. BY that
time il will be safe for visitors to appear on
casional afternoons in their spring clothes,
but TO date il has been out OF the question.
Notwithstanding ali the drawbacks with which
the directors have been forced 20 contend. the
attendance at the worlds fair has been much
larger than that for the corresponding periods
at the centennial exposition.
A comparative statement of the attendance
at the Columbian and centennial expositions
for the FIRST twenty days is here given:

tate to meet the claims against Michael
Davitt. late II. P. for Northeast Cork and pre-
viously NJ. p. for North Meath. who was COM
PEELED to go into bankruptcy on account of his
inability to meet the costs of the proceedings
successfully instituted against him by +.
Mahoney, his Parneilite antagonist in the North
Meath election. to deprive him of that seat on
the ground that clerical intimidation had been
used In Davltts behalf. 1t appears that the
cottage which Mr.. Davitt occupies is the prop
erty of Mrs. Davitt and cannot therefore. be
touched in the bankruptcy proceedings.
