WAS EOREWOMAN AT A FIRE.
Mrs. Barker Gathers UP Some LaDorers
and Puts Ont Dlaze.


ORANGE, n. j., May 27.-Mrs. Alanson
Barker of Mortified avenue. West Orange,
and seven street laborers held In check
blaze which started this morning In the
country home OF Stephen D. Riddle. general
contract agent Of the Baltimore and ONO
Railroad, on the Orange Mountain. lbe
fire was caused by an exploding oil heater
in one of the bedrooms and started just
after Mr.. and Mrs Riddle had been driven
to the Orange station Of the Iackawanna
railroad. The fire was discovered by
Some OF the servants. who sent In an alarm
over the telephone to the West Orange
Fire Department.. The nearest company,
which was two and a half miles away down
at the foot of tho mountain. was sent, but
the fire would have been beyond control
before they got there had not Mrs. barker
assumed control Of matters.
After the servants had telephoned. for
the firemen they ran out OF the house and
screamed. The laborers got out OF the
trench where they were digging and ran
around to, see what was going on; They
room and watched it with an air OF languid
interest until Mrs. Barker came along and
set them at work.
What are all you men thinking Of, stand
ing around while the house, burns up1
Get to work; get buckets-lively now!'
said Mrs. Barker.
She set them the example by hlHngs
bucket and being the first TO enter the
house She tried to induce the men to
enter the room and throw the water about,
but they refused to take the risk, 50 she
stepped inside herself and received the
filed buckets from the men and dashed
the water about the room. This kept the
blaze in check, so the fremen easily put it
out when they arrived. Mrs. Barker's
clothing was ruined and she presented
very disheveled appearance when the
firemen arrived.

Mrs Mary Elizabeth Lease, who was
prominent in Kansas politics some years
ago aud has since teen lect,iring on social
ism, reported to the police Friday tn at she
had been robbed. She lives in "A fiat with
her son and two daughters on the ton floor
Of o. East 122d street.
Il came home about s o'clock Friday
afternoon" she said yesterday. Il found
the door open, but thought my son had
got home before me and went into the
sitting room and read for time
Then l went to my bedroom and man
stepped from behind the door and pressed
the muzzle of revolver against my temple.
He said II l made an outcry he would shoot
me.
Il asked him to put down the pistol and
said j would not scream. He grabbed
me by the throat and pressed me back
on a trunk. All the time he was in the
room he kept the revolver pointed at me
as though afraid might have pistol or
some other weapon myself. He finally
backed out Of the room and closed the door
after him.
when looked about saw the room
had been ransacked. A purse containing
Sl12 was gone and 40 were clothing and
sDverware worth $500.
y waited little while and then started
to follow the burglar. In going along the
hall / saw another man in my daughters
room. l quietly stole out into the hall
and hurried down stairs and went to the
grocery next door and told them to get a
policeman as there was burglar ia my
rooms. The men in the store did not seem
to realize what ! said and did nothing TO
help catch the burglar. I went looking
for a policeman myself but couldn't find
any.
Il went down near the police court and
a lawyer teleploned to Police Headquarters
and told them about the burglars in my
home. A detective came from the East
l28h street station then. When got back
home both burglars were gone. None OF
the neighbors had seen them.
Even ii the men are arrested ! don't
know that ] will prosecute them. for we
are all brothers and these two are unfortn-
mates and were made what they are by
society"
At the East 126'h street station the ser
geant on duty -aid yesterday that they
had report that $500 worth Of property
had been stolen from Mrs. Leases rooms.
There was no clue to the thieves.

Not so very long ago there was an IN
spector OF police named Albertsou-Charle
IT, Albertson. To him police duty seemed
griny. He couldn't stand it much longer
he said He had fine farm up at Waverly,
y. V, and he wanted to retire to it and live
there in virtuo,ls contemplation Of the
beauties of nature
In the course of police events he was re-
duced to be a captain again. But he was
so anxious to retire that he agreed to get
out altogether if he could retire on an in
spector's pension. SO he was raised back
to an nspectorship and put in way TO ap-
preciste the charms Of his farm.

TO PREACH EARLY CLOSING.
ClerSymen to Help Movement Against Lat
Working Hours on saturday.

A movement has been started by the
Church Association for the Advancement
of the Interests of Labor, which is gen.
orally referred to as the c. A. l. L., for
furthering an agitation by the Retail Clerks
Union for early closing in the retail stores
on Saturdays, The agitation is to be con-
Quoted principally in the form Of sermons
by clergymen who are members OF the c. A.
l, l.. or are in sympathy with it's efforts.
The stand taken by the C.. A. ]. l.. on the
subject is that when the clerks, whether men
or women, work until midnight or an hour
later on Saturdays. they are too tired on
Sundays to attend church, or at least can
urge the late Saturday hours as an excuse
for non attendance. The clerks want the
st ores to close at 9:3O p. NJ.
1t was said that the clergymen will CO.
operate with the retail clerks by refraining
from purchasing after 9:30 P. M. on Satur-
days and getting their friends to do the
same
