circled the entire block and returned to
the pavement in front of her home.
Her race had famed the flames to a

the flaming fabric but a dozen or more
persons who saw her stood dazed as they
watched her frantic efforts to save her

A Court-street trolley-car, filled witt,

unfortunate woman's assistance.
Her outer skirt had burned away and
the smouldering fragments lay about her
on the sidewalk. Her under garments
were blazing, and the flames which had
burned away her hair and closed her
eyes with great blisters. noW enveloped
her head and she stood on the street like
an animated !. torch, the black smoke
swirling far above her.
The passengers in the cars shuddered
with horror. But thdt was ali stney ulu.
AS the woman's shrieks for help became
weaker and more indistinct from behind
the curtain of the fire she staggered in
an effort to maintain her equilibrium,
and the sight caused the women in the
cars TO turn their heads anu some faint

1t seemed that Mrs. Nowak must sink

of Engine Company 139, came up the
street They saw her predicament and
knew what to do. Needless of the burns
which they would themselves receive.
they carried her into the hallway of her
home and there they smothered the
flames with their coats.
Completely exhausted she collapsed and
was sent to Long Island College Hospl-

die.

she swept lighted lamp from the man

Miller Can't Talk.
Hugh Gordon Miller is in town, and
presumably in reference to the collector
ship Of customs, at Norfolk, with which
his name has been mentioned. Mr.. Millel
was at tho White House to-day, and after
a long wait. saw the President. On leav-
ing the White House Mr. Miller, averred
that he couldn't say q thing-undoubt bted-
ly one of the most unhappy predicaments
AR. Miller ever got into. if he really had
anything he could say. The impression,
however. was that Mr.. Miller was SO
loaded with state secrets that 1t would
be utterly unwise for him to say any
thing. Yet those who know Mr.. Miller
feel that for him to keep a political Sc
cret concerning himself for any length OF
time will be punishment that he probably
will not undergo. When he gets back to
Norfolk, publicat tons from there are ex-
peeted to indicate that Mr.. Miller really
sa W the President There is surely some
thing doing in connection with Mr.. Mil
Ter and his position of Assistant-Attor-
ney. Judge Lewis WOULD probably be glad
to have Mr.. Miller transferred to some
other place. and if he could be worked OFF
on the collectorship at Norfolk, Judge
Lewis wouldn't object or be sorry.
Mr.. Miller is at least a receptive candi-
date for the collectorship, as he is for
most anything in the way of a Federal
position that comes along. It is needless
to say that Mr.. Miller will not have the
backing Of the Virginia organiza ton
Bowden, Agnew. and others.
