The Berwin Fund.

The ease and promptness with which
over twelve hundred dollars was raised
at the Chamber Of Commerce yesterday
afternoon for. the benefit Of the wife
and children Of John Berwin, the fire.
man who lost his life at the West hotel
fire, is some evidence of how ready peo-
pie are generally to respond when their
hearts are touched by an example of
real heroism. But, of course, this
is only beginning. This money was
contributed by less than a dozen bust
ness firms. while the opportunity is one
which will appeal to everybody.
. It is the Judgment of his fellow mem
bers of the department and Of those
who witnessed the scene, that If Ber-
win had been so disposed, he might
have saved his own life at the sacri-
flee of the woman whom he was try
ing to remove from the burning build
ing; but just at the critical moment,
when it was evident that both could
not escape; he. threw her so that she
was seized and her life saved, while
the effort in her behalf caused him to
lose his hold and fall. &
No man can make a greater sacrifice
than Berwin made, and he made it not
alone for the woman, but for the pub
lie, for the good of the service to
which he belonged. He set an exam
pie and established standard Of con
duct which not only commands praise
and admiration for him individually
but reflects the highest honor upon his
calling and marks the fireman as one
who, under emergency, is ready to sac
rifce his life, if necessary, in the dis
charge Of his duty.
This is a great service to the com
munity and calls for fair recognition

tough customers, and one is a little sur
prised at the nerve Of 16-year-old, in

that abstract thing the law was back OF
him. But he had the nerve--according
to the stories--and was able to put up, or
CALL a bluff as circumstances demanded,

some other things produced by the same
