Against Littering the Streets,

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
was very glad to notice the recent appeal Of
your correspondent to the police for better
enforcement of laws against throwing and
sweeping papers and other refuse into the
streets. An important part of this nuisance is
the habit SO many have of buying fruit in
paper bags at the corner stands, eating it
and scattering the bag and wastagos along the
this by picking up those Of the single square Of
nv own residence.
burn these with my kitchen garbage. and
vet none of my neghbors seem to be troubled
by the bad effects complained of elsewhere.

A Famous rlre Rescue.

In the forenoon Of Jan. 81, 1882, the
old building at Park row and Beelman
street caught fire. The 6-story building
had only one stairway and was filled
with people. The building being old
and dry, the famo spread rapidly, and
many people found a terrible death.
just as it seemed that no human being
could escape death three men were seen
in an upper window The fremen
quickly brought ladders, but the longest
reached only half the distance. In the
crowd a colored bootblack, Charles
Wright saw that fastened to the roof Of
the building, just above the window
where the men were, was q telegraph
wire, and that this wire ran across the
street to the top of a telegraph pole in
City Hall park
He saw that if the wire was cut in the
park it would fall right across the win
dow, so that the men could descend by
it, In an instant he seized n fireman. s
wrench that lay near by, ran across the
street and began to climb the tall, smooth
telegraph pole. 1t was not easy in the
wind and snow, but by hard climbing
Wright soon reached the crossbars.
Quickly he twisted the wire rope off.
Down it fell, right across the windowl
