and hat which guest left in charge of
an attendant at the dining-room door.
The coat and hat were stolen or de-
livered in mistake to another guest
while the owner was at dinner. The
hotel proprietors pleaded that they had
provided a courtroom, where checks
were given, and the guests, knowing this,
relieved them of responsibility. The
court held that the fact that defend
ant had prepared such place did not
negative the fact that it had prepared
other places for that purpose likewise.

GOODNESS AND COURAGE

Avert q Panic In . Burning Chicago
Church-The Congregation Retired In
Good Order and the Structure was
Saved.
CHICAGO, Nov. l3.-Three hundred
men and women were momentarily
panic-stricken yesterday evening in
the Belder-avenuc Baptist church,
when they discovered the structure
was on hre; but presence Of mind on
the part of the pastor, Rev. H. M.
Barbour, soon restored order and the
entire congregation escaped to the
street in safety. There was some
pushing and crowding at times, but
no one was injured. The pastor had
spoken about ten minutes when he no.
ticed a gentleman who had occupied q
seat in the center Of the church arise
and come forward. He walked up the
main aisle toward the pulpit and beck
oned Rev. Barbour to one side.
There will be panic soon, IL We
are not careful" he whispered. The
church is on fire. Sparks are falling
from the dome"
Rev. Barbour glanced up at the dome
and saw sparks were falling. He told
the congregation that the services
could not be continued. There are
good reasons" he announced, why I
cannot preach to you tonight. We
will even dispense with the closing
hymn and benediction, and will ask
you all to leave your seats quietly and
in order, but with as much haste a.
possible"
Several who were seated in the CEN
ter of the church saw the falling
sparks. A score arose hastily and
started for the exists in the rear.
Others arose, not knowing what was
the cause of the excitement. Soon the
church was empty. The fire caught in
the dome from leak in the large gas
pipe leading to the chandelier in the
center of the church. By the time the
congre CATION had left the dome was in
flames In the meantime the blaze
had been seen by parties outside the
church and an alarm turned in. Quick
work by the fire department saved the
building from destruction and confined
the fire to the dome. The loss is esti.
mated at 81, 500
