SERIOUS FIREAVERTED.
Narrow Escape of the Family OF. w. L.
Wightman of winthrop Avenue.

While going the rounds of his pre-
cinct, No. 3, about 11:2O last night and
while on George street, Just above
Winthrop avenue, Sergeant williams
was startled by hearing loud cries for
help In female voice coming from
the direction of Winthrop avenue The
sergeant ran down George street, COM
Ing evidently closer and closer to the
cries of Help Help" AS he reach
ed the corner of George street and
Winthrop avenue he saw blaze on the
first floor of the residence of William
l.. Wightman of 213 Winthrop avenue
Just as he saw the FIRE he heard a
woman cry 'Help Help! Oh save
my baby!" Sergeant Williams ran to-
ward the house and at the door he met
Mr.. Wightman coming out carrying
baby In his arms. Williams asked
him If there was any one else In the
house and Mr.. Wightman hurriedly
told him to go on upstairs. The ser
geant did SO and on entering the house
he found it filled with smoke. Hasten
ing upstairs he found Mrs. Wightman
overcome by smoke He opened the
windows and assisted Mrs. Wrightman
to window where she revived
Mr.. Wightman after taking the baby
to a neighbours house returned and
he and the sergeant found that the
fire was gaining considerable Roadway
on the first floor. After few minutes
hard work they extinguished the
flames. The fire had evidently started
in some clothing hung over high
chair spread to the carpet and then to
the wainscotting, which was consider
ably burned. Among the clothing hung
over a chair was a coat In one pocket
of which were some matches The only
way that the starting Of the fire could
be accounted for last night was that
a mouse had nibbled at the matches
In the pocket and In that way ignited
them.
The house was filed with smoke
which become so thick that It'll awaken
ed Mr.. Wightman, who aroused her
husband by her cries. The baby was
not seriously affected by the smoke,
and Mrs. Wightman recovered In a
short time from the effects Of her in
halation Of It,
1t is probable that but for the timely
awakening of Mrs. Wightman the en-
tire family would have been suffocated
and that but for the assistance render
ed by Sergeant williams Mrs. Wight
man would have been suffocated while |
her husband was saving the baby.

sity of Wisconsin, was chosen to be the
first incumbent of the Buckley fellow
ship in American history. Two gifts
along similar lines to that of Mr.. Bulk
ley were announced at this meeting.
The George Washington Egleston his
tory prize is to be awarded to some
student who discovers a new fact Of
Importance in American history or who
makes a contribution of permanent
value to critical historical study. Mr..
Egleston has furnished a fund Of 5000,
the income Of which will be used for
this purpose Mrs Amy B. Porter,
wife of the late John Addison Porter,
has also signifed her intention of es-
tablishing a fund of $4,000, the income
from which is to be devoted to the John
Addison Porter prize In American his
tory The prize win be open to compe-
ttion among members Of the senior
and junior classes in the academical de-
partment, and will be awarded for the
best original essay on a set subject
bearing upon the political, constitution
al or economic history, condition or flu
ture of the United States, including it's
internal external and foreign relations.
The establishment of these two prizes,
following so soon after the establish
ment of the Buckley fellowship and the
inaugural ton of the Dodge lectures on
the Responsibility Of Citizenship and
the Bromley lectures on Public Affairs,
is significant as showing the emphasis
that is being laid at Yale on fitting
men to meet American problems.
A gift of $4,000 from Mrs. Susie
Healy Camp Of Hartford, Conn.,, is an
nounced. The income from this sum is
to be used for the purchase Of books to
constitute departmental library for
the philosophical department. The
fund is to be memorial to the father
of the donor, the late william Arnold
Healy. An additional gift Of $1,000 was
reported from Mrs. Virginia Curtis.
This is to be added to the principal Of
the Curtis fund, the income of which is
awarded each year to that student in
the academical department who shows
the highest average Of excellence in
three pieces of literary work upon as
signed subjects.
At the meeting of the corporation a
communication was read from the COM
mittee appointed officially in March,
1899, to consider ways and means for
the erection Of a memorial statue to
Nathan Hale. In this communication
the committee, through its secretary,
Lewis Welch. requested that 1t be dis
charged, or else that it be given new
Instructions. The following vote was
passed.

statue Of Nathan Hale, and the condi-
lions under which that committee was
named having been changed, the COM

their efforts, and that the corporation,
other plans, will not consider

ege campus for any statue"

ROUND THE WORLD FOLDER.
Neat Guide Just Issued by the Pennsyl-
Yania Railroad

Neat Guide Just Issued by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad.
The attention of travellers is called to
the Round the World Folder" just is
sued by the Pennsylvania railroad. 1t
is neat and attractive guide contain
ing many beautiful cuts and giving all
the necessary information to those con-
templating trip to almost any section
of the globe The folder, which is in
tended primarily for use In Great Brit
ain and Europe, is a compendium Of
useful information for those having in
contemplation such a trip, and the
Around the World map via Washing
ton and Transcontinental America,
which occupies the inside pages, is a
masterpiece Of the map makers art.
In glancing at the double page showing
fourteen different tours, and consider
ing the accommodations on shipboard
included in the rates named, 1T would
almost seem cheaper, for a person hav-
ingl sufficient leisure, to make trip
AROUND the world than to stay at home.
The route via washington over the
Pennsylvania railroad has been empha-
sized because no European can afford
to omit from his itinerary of round
trip visit to our national
capital, which has not only grown to
be, from an architectural standpoint,
one Of the most beautiful cities in the
world, but which must prove a point
of vital interest to travellers, as the seat
of government of the most ingenious,
inventive and progressive of all ma
lions. lltlIsIlfAK
