dows seemed to reach toward that very
part OF the iron ladder on which she stood
The crowd hung breathless below, expect
ing to see her fall at any moment.
Suddenly a boy of small, 1.-the stature
broke through the pack of people in the
street and began to climb the iron pipe
to the fire escape. Some one appeared as
suddenly with a ladder and with quick.
cool judgment the boy, Frank German by
name, swung from the pipe to the ladder.
He clambered up to the girl like a sea-
soned sailor. Just as he reached her she
was about to fall. When she felt Cor
mans protecting arm she steadied her
self and both came down the ladder to-
gether. At the end of the escape German
passed Miss Healy to Bernard Cappel
who in turn carried her to the ground,
safe, but badly scorched. Then Miss Healy
tainted
German, who played the part OF a hero,
is thoroughly unconscious OF his brave
act All the time he bore the burden
down the escape ladder rung by rung the
fierce shafts of flame skirted his descent.
Miss Healy's face and arms were badly
burned and Germans left arm is blistered.
The young lady was carried at once to the
drug store on the corner of Stevenson and
Third streets, where her injuries received
immediate attention.
Nellie Healy's Heroic Act
Frank German is but 10 years of age
and lives at IA Precita avenue. At pres
ent he is one of the striking riveters, a
mere apprentice at his trade, and is out
of work. Two years ago he completed a
course at the Naval Training School,
where he acquired his agility and nimble-
ness in ladder climbing When Miss

- at the banquet given in the CO of Mexico
l. to the delegates of the Pan-American Congress
said: Il express the hope that the conclusion of our
high deliberations may be of such degree fruitful in
benefits for the people of this continent that their fu
ture relations may ever be governed by the upright
spirit which animated Washington, Hidago, Bolivar
and San Martin in the most momentous and charac-
terstic episodes of their heroic and public careers
In reply the temporary president of the. congress,
Gonaro Ralgosa said that the delegates to the
venton will have other aim than ito contribute
to the consolidation and sovereignty of the different
states, each one in its own limits and to promote
the free and progressive development of democratic
institutions in America the footing of the most
ample recognition of one another's rights"
Banquet speeches are always bright and pleasing.
1t is to be expected that the delegates of the
various countries represented the congress in Mex
leo will live up to the promise of the glowing words
of Diaz and Ralgosa. Still a great deal may be
pected in the way of benefits to the whole of Latin
America as well as to ourselves. AS was expected,
Chile has proven to be the most troublesome factor
in the congress Almost as soon as business was be-
gun resolution presented by the delegates from
Argentina expressing the hope of the congress that
the dispute between Venezuela and Colombia might
be settled by amicable and fraternal agreement The
Chileans at once took alarm and opposed the resolu
ton on the ground that it ntmated that the
gress is in favor of retroactive arbitration policy
to which the Chilean Government has more than
once declared it will not submit.
The attitude of Chile is the provoking be-
cause the Chileans decidedly the most enterprs-
ing, the most aggressive and most potent population
in South America. They represent stronger feel
ing of nationality than any other people, and by
son of that spirit they influence altogether
out of proportion to their numbers or their wealth
1t seems to be conceded that Chilean cooperation
must be had in order to make any programme of
work adopted by the congress effective Conse-
quently tact has to be exercised all along the line.
1t is better to obtain something surely than to strive
to obtain too much and involve the congress in con-
troverses that will break it up and render all its
efforts futile.
1t would seem, then, that the hope of obtaining
the establishment of system of arbitration to settle
disputes between American countries will have to be
abandoned for the present. There may be expected,
however, much in the way of work that will promote
trade and commerce 1t is evident that majority of
the delegates animated by sincere desire pro-
mote amty and friendship among the nations and
the peoples whom they represent and result
there is to enough of good to justify the
expectation of a greater good to follow when the
infused among the various peoples

fire yesterday afternoon on the

pillow and mattress factory at 244 Steven
son street. In a trice the flames devoured
the fiimsy material and breaking through
the windows mounted the four stories or
the brick building, consuming everything
combustible.
Arthur Jenkins, an employe, gave the
alarm Girls and men were warned and
while the flames darted out of the build
ing in fiery sheets all the employees save

quickly did the flames spread that three
young women, two on the third floor,
and the other on the fourth. were pre-
vented from escaping down the stairs. On
the third floor were Miss Nellie Healy
and Della McGrath. But one hope was
left for them-the fire escape.
Down on the street the crowd gathered
from all directions. In moment the real
ization came upon the excited spectators
that the building was not entirely freed
from human beings. The faces of two
girls at the windows on the third Story
brought terror into the hearts of all.
Shouts came from below 1.-THE fire es-
cape, the fire escape"
And while the shouts were still ringing
in the air a young girl appeared at the
fourth floor platform Of the fire escape.
Down she came as fast as her feet could
carry her and great shout of joy rose
upward from the crowd.
Della McGrath on the third floor next
followed the suggestion of the fire escape
She climbed out on the platform and came
down step by step as fast as her inter-
fering skirts would permit. Fifteen feet
from the ground the fire escape was cut
off and from that point to the pavement
was a clean drop. But there was pipe
running from the ground along the entire
length of the escape and Miss McGrath
made use of this to steady herself. In
another second all would be safe. Over
come with the heat and the excitement
she fell when close enough to the ground
to avoid any serious injury.
Boy Hero on the Scene.
A great cheer went up from the crowd
and willing hands carried Miss McGrath
off to safety. Hardly had the applause
died away when another figure appeared
on the escape. This was Nellie Healy.
For a moment she appeared dumfounded.

TWO LIVES ARE SAVED BY HEROIC
ACTS OF YOUNG GIRL AND BOY

Healy was being borne to the drug store
German walked behind In nonchalant
manner. A short while later he was with
his friends and his first toast over a glass
of soda water was, Here's to the young
lady"
If German Is a hero, Miss Healy, who
lives with her mother on the corner OF
Franklin and Fell streets, is no less a
heroine. When she discovered that the
building was ablaze she rushed up to the
floor above and warned one of the girls
in the machine department. This young
girl. the first to make her escape, dropped
from the last rung of the iron ladder.
When Miss Healy had done this she was

Mr.. Richard A. Barnes exhibited at this
office recently the tooth ola whale, which
was one of many captured by the vesse
of which he was a member of the crew
in the Pacific ocean off of the Gallipago
Islands. The tooth is of the finest ivory
and is skillfully engraved on one side with
the bust of woman and on the reverse
is three masted vessel under full sail
This work Mr.. Barnes accomplished at
odd moments to while away the
monotony of his long voyage thatlasted
over three years. In that time they took
over 10000 gallons of oil, which was
worth snug little fortune. Mr.. Barnes
related several interesting stories about
the capture of these monsters ofthe deep.
He returned to the United States from
Callao, on the famous Merrimac, which
