| jumped from the third floor to the roof
of an extension in the rear Of the house
to reach the ground i'm safety. Mean

rived and found the parlOr floor a mass
Of fire and flames.

rushed up two flights of stairs to where
two children We're screaming. Police
man Howe gathered both in his arms,
but was overcome by smoke on the
second floor. Assistant Chief McAlcer
met the officer and dragged him and
the children to the front door.
Mrs. Heath had been asleep in the
second story front room, and did not
| awaken until her escape was almost
| impossible. Her screams told the fire
men that there was still another person
| in the building. The woman made her
way to the third story through the fire
and smOke-cOngested hall and stair
case, but was frightfully burned. Her
night dress had been burned from her
body and her hair was ablaZe when she
appeared at the rear window.
Assistant Chief McAleer and other
| firemen stood on each others shoulders
and brought the woman to the roof of
the extension. From here she was
lowered to the ground and sent to the
hospital. Her face was blackened and
scOrched, and most of the skin of her
body was burned away. Her condition
is critical.

Mr.. Heath was also badly burned,
although he was the first to leave the
house. He ran through the flames and
smoke out of the front door. He is
also at the hospital, in a critical shape.
The children and servants escaped
serious injury.

churches. either in a special or a re-
ligious way. in America as there is in
England.
The difficulty in the United States is
In their new and mixed population.
The enrolment of a million tramps in
great and distinct army, and a host
of criminals. all working in colonies un-
der the Salvation army plans, is one of
General Booths remedies for the evils
