HEROES WERE ON HAND
JUST PLAIN CITIZENS, BUT THE
REAL THING.

| Special Dispatch to The Star.
| NEW YORK October 25.-An early
morning blaze in the Williamsburg sec
| ton of Brooklyn today resulted in the
death of a child and in the injury of half
dozen persons, besides blocking traffic
| for nearly two hours and driving 1000
| men. women and children out into the
| cold Heroism displayed by a patrOlman
and three citizens doubtlessly saved the
lives of two score or more persons.
The scene of the fire is one of row OF
five fve-story, double-decker tenement
houses. The ground floor of the one in
question. at 455 Broadway. Is occupied by
Charles Wagner and his wife, who keeps
| delicatessen store. On the four floors
above eight families make their homes
Among these. just under the roof, lives
Charles Bertsch. with his wife and their
six children.
The blaze started in the cellar from
some unknown cause. and was discovered
by Wagner. who awoke to find his wife
| unconscious from the thick smoke which
completely filed the room. He dragged
her by the shoulders out onto the side
walk. where his cries brought Patrolman
Polsky of the Bedford avenue station. =
PolSky called upon three citizens to aid
him. The trio helped the bluecoat in
arousing the sleeping tenants. In some
| cases they had to break down doors to
wake them.
Worked Till They Dropped.
The fire spread so rapidly that even
the time the second floor was reached re-
treat was cut off and the only means of
| escape lay by way of the roof. The po-
liceman and three citizens found persons
unconscious on every floor and it was
| necessary to drag them up the smoke
filed stairways.
Bertsch. his wife and five of the children
were found in an unconscious condition
1t was not discovered until the roof had
been reached that another child. Flor
ence. two years old. had been lying in a
crib in another room. Polsky and his three
companions promptly forced their way
back into the thick smoke and found the
crib containing the youngest child. Pol
sky clasped the baby In his arms and fell
unconscious himself at the doorway lead
ing into the hall. The three men were
also overcome at this point, but were
rescued by the firemen.
An ambulance surgeon pronounced the
Be:tsch child dead. For half an hour
he worked over Mrs. Bertsch before he
declared her out Of danger. 1t took Q
good fifteen minutes work to revive her
husband, Policeman Polsky, the three
citizens and several tenants
The fire. which called for two alarms,
| resulted In but 5000 damage.

Discrepancy at London.

The discrepancy between the London
and local quotations was. of course. due
in some measure to the continued de-
moraiization In the foreign exchange mar
ket. The conditions of the latter were
practically the same yesterday. and
the quoted rates were largely of a nomi
nal character. At the same time sterling
fell to figure suggesting the early i'm
portation of gold. and 1t was said that ne
gotiations were under way looking to en-
gagement of the metal.
II is scarcely necessary to add that. as
has been the case for the past two weeks,
matters relating to particular securities
were altogether overshadowed by others
OF general interest. Even the statements
for the month of August OF the Southern
Pacific and Union Pacific. both of which
showed decreases in net earnings, were
practically ignored.
Stock market movements after the early
dealings were highly irregular. and the
dealings naturally were greatly curtailed
by the extremely stringent money market
situation.
The general drift OF prices was. how
ever. downward. and the transactions
again plainly revealed the fact that liqui-
dation of the same character that has
been in progress was still being con-

shown in the American department of the
London stock market. These quotations
were not succeeded. however. by buying
operations for foreign account upon the
considerable scale. and. In fact. the local
market failed to open at anything like
the levels at which American stocks were

Foot races, hurting the discus.
wrestling and boxing were followed
in time by chariot and horse races. In
the conglomeration Of debris we traced
the foundations of the walls Of the
great buildings set aside for the &C.
commodation of those entered for the
contests.
But a small portion OF the great
stadium has been redeemed from the
mass of sand in which the river buried
all of Olympia by a change OF its
course.
The stadium, unlike that at Athens,
which has n circular end, thus
doubling the distance of the run. had
$50 4-5 feet in a straight line. There
were no tiers of seats such as we saw
at the stadiums of Delphi, Epidauros
ard Athens, but the gentle slopes of
the hills were sufficient for the specta-
tors. You approach through a long
walk once lined with statues. A little
to the right of the entrance a portico
extended almost the entire width of
the sacred precincts. Under this roof
the people strolled back and forth
awaiting the call of the herald to the
arena. In front of this marvelously
beautiful portico sacrifices to propiti-
ate the gods were burned on affairs
whose foundations are easily traced
now. An archway on the left of the
stadium was the entrance for the con.
testants. One arch is still standing
and is far higher and larger than the
photograph represents. Some Of the
walls of the long entrance remain,
having resisted the pressure Of the
sand which settled there so long ago.
After we had passed through this
trench on the side of the hill we as
cended the slope to sit down on the
flower-crowned hill in the midst OF the
asphodels of the poets, near the low
wall where the start was made.
The same birds that sung 2,00O
years ago were singing the same
songs; the blossoms were putting up
the very same lovely faces to the
%cloudless sky above; a shepherd boy
was piping the unaltered notes of his
ancestors with the reeds of his Sim
pie instrument fashioned as of old; a
m in a field close by watched the
herd, distaff in hand, and a farmer

James Wilson, the secretary of agri-

from the Introduction of darum wheat,

from the sacred olive tree.
The whole scene unrolled itself to
us as we sat looking over the around
where the anxious or triumphant heart
beats of the contestants could Slmost
be heard after all the centuries in the
now solitary spot. 1t is difficult to
imagine any scene on earth more spir-
tied than when the name and country

out and heralds announced then with
the clarion notes of the trumpets. a.
And what a generous thought was it
of the patriotic Greek to restore the
stadium at Athens and make an object
for the youth of to-day to undertake
exactly the same games of the long
ago!
1t would have been even more an
event of the centuries had Olympia
been chosen, but it's distance and isola-
ton and the h%ardships to which the
spectators would have been subjected
were insurmountable obstacles. One
must be an enthusiast or an aychaeo.

now is.

FEET OUT.
She Had Curious Habits.

When a person has to keep the feet
out from under i've during the cold
est nights in winter because of the
heat and prickly sensation, it is time
that coffee, which causes the trouble,
be left off.
There is no end to the nervous con-
ditions that coffee will produce. It
shows in n way in one person and in
another way in another. In this case
the lady lived in S. Oak. She says:
Il have had to lie awake half the
night with my feet and limbs out of
the bed on the coolest nights, and felt
afraid to sleep for fear of catching
cold. / had been troubled for years
with twitching and jerking of the
lower limbs, and for most of the time
| have been unable to go to church or to
lectures because of that awful feeling
that must keep on the move
when it was brought to my atten-
ton that coffee caused so many ner-
0 u diseases, / concluded to drop
coffee and take Postum Food Coffee to
see if my trouble was caused by coffee
drinking.
Il only drank one cup of coffee for
breakfast but that was enough to do
the business for me. When / quit it
my troubles disappeared in an almost
miraculous way. Now / have no more
OF the jerking and twitching and can
sleep with any amount of bedding over
me and sleep all night, in sound, peace

The Circassians, who live in the
northwestern part of the Caucasus,
and who think it is more honorable to

it a custom to bring their daughters
up to be sold as slaves to the Turks

therefore, shine not in their native
