HEROlSM PREVENTS DISASTER
ON TORPEDO BOAT.
FLAMES NEAR MAGAZINE
Lieutenant Curtin and Brave Assist
ants Succumb Repeatedly in Sue.
cessful Efforts to Save Ship from
Observation-Disclosures to Hospital
All Will Fully Recover.

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 13.-The hero
ism of Lieutenant Curtin and several
seamen of the torpedo boat destroyer
Lawrence yesterday saved that craft
from destruction. A lighted candle
left by workman on a wooden box
in the vessels forward compartment
caused a fire which burned much OF
the woodwork before it was eXtin-
guished by Curtin and some seamen
just before the flames reached the
magazine in which a quantity OF eX-
plosive was stored.
In their battle against the flames
Curtin and his men We're so overcome
by the smoke that they lost conscious
ness after the fight was won and were
hurried on board the cruiser Olympia
for treatment. Their condition is not
serious.
The fire occurred in the stuffing de-
partment directly adjoining the maya
zine and had gained considerable
Roadway when it was discovered that
the place was filled with a dense
smoke that bafTied the efforts OF the
crew and caused the men to fall help
less to the floor. Time and again
Curtin dived into the fore chamber
and emerged with the unconscious
form of seaman After a hurried
resustication the seaman and his Off
Ger would return to fight only to
again succumb to the smoke.
Finally the flames were eXtingulsh-
ed and then the lieutenant was miss
ed. A sailor plunged into the COM
partment and a second later came out
with the limp body of the officer in
his arms. Five seamen in similar
condition were stretched out on the
deck. All were hurried on board the
Olympia and surgeons soon brought
them to consciousness The damage
to the Lawrence was tritling.

COST OF LIVING OF
WORKING PEOPLE
BULLETIN ISSUED SHOWING LAB
oRERs' FAMILY EXPENSES.
INCREASE OF 1861 PER CENT
Government Investigation Shows that
the Necessares of the Working
mans Household Come Much High
err In These Times Of Plentiful Work
and Better Wages.

| Washington, Nov. 1.-THE bureau OF
| labor has issued bulletin on the cost
of living of workingmens families,
showing that Of 1857 families in 80
states from whom data was obtained
the average income per family was
! $S27.19 and the average expenditure
for all purposes $76S.54
| The average expenditure per family
for food was $326.90 and the average
size of the family was 5.3l persons.
| the last figure is seven-tenths above
the average OF private families in the
whole country, as shown by the census
Of 1900 The food expense is more
than 42I2 per cent. OF the expenditure
for all purposes. An extended inyesti-
cation covering 1890 to 1892 shows that
the cost of food reached its highest IN
1902, the average then being 1913 per
cent. above the average for the decade,
lS90-f899, and an increase OF l6.1 per
cent. compared with 1896, the year OF
lowest prices.
1t is announced as a conservative
conclusion that the increase in the cost
compared with the year of lowest
prices, was not over 161 per cent, the,
figure given as the increased cost of
food, as shown by this investigation.
This assumes, OF course, always the,
purchase of the same articles and the
same quantities in years OF low prices,
low wages and more or less irregular,
employment and in years of higher,
prices, higher wages and steady EN-.
