The Professor and Jake go Into Business
BY y 01tnS Steady.


Once upon time-l think that Is
the approved manner of opening
story of this kind-there was en-
ployed, in the capacity OF comp.
on The Mirror staff colored fellow
by the name of Professor Webb.
This was before The Mirror became
the leading publication Of the coun-
try-in it's puppy days, as it we're.
The paper then consisted OF forty
eight pages, set in nonparell and Is
sued every week, at two o'clock.
The Professors duties consisted IN
setting up the editorials, which COM
prised the major portion OF the sport
inc section of the sheet-the editor,
like all members of the craft being
a tin whistle sport Diverse
Reflections, by chap named Erld,
which ran largely to beauty hints;
the latest fashion in dog collars, with
a few side remarks on the proper
manner of attaining special distinc-
ton and recognition-in Heaven.
When not otherwise occupied, the
Professor used to employ his time in
perfecting plan by which he might
expand beyond his humble sphere
and bring the world to recognize
and appreciate his genius, from which
fact you may gather he was ambltl-
GUS.
One day there appeared at The
Mirror office a gentleman whose
name fail to find recorded in the
local Hall of Fame, but who for the
present we will call Jake. AS to
Just what business Jake was engaged
in it is not necessary to say, sufflce
for the present to know his system
was inoculated with the back to
the land' germ and that he at once
proceeded to infame the mind OF the
Professor with desire to win fame
in the humble role of the tiller OF
the soil. The scientific raising OF
poultry and live stock were alike
easy to Jake, while he was equally
proficient in the production OF farm
produce.
Jake was given a position on The
Mirror force and for some time he
and the Professor worked in peace
and harmony. Among his other &C
complishments, Jake was profess
sional hypnotist. For some time ne
kept the matter secret, but at
length conceived the diabolical plot
of bringing his wonderful influence
to bear on the Professor. His plan
was this: He would wave his magic
wand before the Professors eyes,
and after gaining entire control OF
that worthy would fire his mind with
the belief that he was linotype
machine. Result: The Professor
would do all the work and Jake
would be free to indulge his time as
his fancy indicated.
For many weeks thereafter, Jake
enjoyed the sight of seeing the Pro-
fessor devour the copy with tighten
ing-like rapidity. In time, howev-
er. this form of amusement began to
lose it's charms, besides, the love OF
adventure and new fields to conquer
had gotten the best of Jake, SO one
evening when the Professor was en-
loving few moments OF mental re-
pose. Jake unfolded his plans for
the future. They were this: He
and the Professor would abandon
their present position, go to unknown
lands and engage in agricultural pur-
suits, making speciality of poultry
raising. a look at his badly worn
f5oer tips, and the Professor decid-
ed
A suitable location was soon found
and in an incrediably short time the
new enterprise began to take shape.

PRAISE GIRL OF
z AS HEROINE IN
TENEMENT FIRE
Rushing Through Smoke, She
ArOuses Sleepers and Saves
Several Families.

They are singing the praises today of
Sylvia Klein in the big apartment house
at 80 Rose street. and with very good
reason. II It hadn't been for Sylvia
and Sylvia's courage last night, nothing
but dirges would have been heard in
the house today, If, indeed, anyone
would have been left to sing them.
Sylvia discovered blaze in the
apartment house last night, ran
through the halls awakening those who
slept without dreaming Of the danger
which threatened them. and didn't stop
to think of her own safety until she
knew that everyone in the house was
safe. And Sylvia is but IL years old!
It was about Ii o'clock that Sylvia,
who lives at rs Rutgers street, and
who had been spending the day with
her sister, Mrs. L. s. Blumberg, was
awakened by the odor Of smoke. She
Investigated and found the hall on the
third floor, where the Blumberg apart
ment is located, filled with smoke. The
little girl ran back into the apartment
and awakened her sister and DroIner-
in-law, and did not think by any means
that her responsibility ended there.
Continues Heroic Work.
She ran across the hall and aroused
David, Henry and Rosie La Raus, aged
10, 7 and 8 years, respectively, the chill
dren of Walter La Raus, a physical
director, of S25 Broad street. The chill
dren had been left in the apartment.
Sylvia ran on downstairs, sounding the
alarm, and urging all of the occupants
of the house from their rooms. One
of them she sent to the top floor in
time to save the life of little Rosie La
Raus, who had been overcome by the
smoke as she was about to leave the
rooms with her brothers.
A rumor to the effect that Jake Gold
stein. janitor Of the house, had perished
in the flames with the members of his
family was dispelled when he appeared
with his three children after the fire
had been extinguished.
The fire caused a loss of but $50.
Sylvia Klein's exploit, however, cannot
be measured by the amount of the
damages, as those whose lives she
saved insist.

AS HERO,
SAVES SCORE AT FIRE.

NEW YORK, Feb 14.-Sixty persons
were saved from death in burning
tenement house at IT'S Grand street,
Williamsburg, this morning. A score
of them would have perished had 1t not
been for little newsboy who was too
modest to tell f1remen or police his
name, but who had quickness of wit
when men stood aghast as flames and
smoke shot out at families hemmed
in on the front fire ladders, with no
means of descending to the street
The fire, which is declared to have
been of incendiary origin, was discov-
cred by Policemen Newshafer and
O'Callaghan, of the Stagg street sta
tion. It had started in the rear base
rnent, eaten through the first floor and
was attacking the stairway.
When the flremen arrived they ran
I'D scaling ladders and carried down
the families who had been cut off from
the fre-escapes. Before the fire was
out there had been loss of $4,000. S
Confident that the fire was OF incen-
diary origin, the fire marshal and police
have begun an investigation.

spectively delivered or discharged in

on their way to work AS a result OF
the runaway Miss Emily Dillenburg, OF

after s o'clock Willis drove up in front
of the F. c. Richie Harness Company
at 202 Market street and went inside
to have some slight harness repairs
made, leaving young Clayton, his
helper, on the wagon.
The horse took fright at something
and started on wild dash down Mar

ASKS AME MOMENT
TO WEIGHTS AND
MEASURES BILL
Legislative Conference Refers
Changes to the City Law
Department.

The legislative conference held today
in the mayors office was more fruitful
of results than the previous meetings.
Mayor Haussling was in the chair for
the first time. In opening the confer
ence, Alderman Congleton stated that
in recommending legislation to the rep
resentatives at Trenton difficulty Is ex-
perienced because of the fact that the
legislators demand a reason for oppos-
ing or voting for certain measures. The
alderman thought thata short statement
should accompany the request to oppose
or favor any measure. Although Alder
man Reynolds at first thought that this
would take up too much of the legisla-
tors time, he finally seconded the mo-
tion made by Alderman Congleton.
Assembly bill 162 was disapproved,
after Captain Gasser, of the bureau
of combustibles, stated his objections
to it, The bill gives the Common
Council the right to grant permission
to manufacturers for the erection of
buildings for the manufacture of ex-
plosives. This, according to the cap
tain, will take away the power of the
bureau of which he is the head 1t
was decided to amend the bill, cross
ing out the clause which includes first
class cities.
Bill 164, which covers great many
measures affecting the city, such as the
regulation of liquor sales and the reg
ulation of street car rates, was, at the
suggestion of Alderman Congleton, re-
ferred to the legislative committee of
the Common Council and also to the
Board of Works.
Alderman Congleton was not in favor
of approving House bill 1873. which de-
mands 80-cent gas. Alderman Reynolds
favored 1t, but Mr.. Congleton said that
he wanted to know certain facts before
deciding on it, 1t was referred to the
legislative committee of the Council.
President Guild, of the Board of Edu
cation, opposed the bill that included
school janitors in the tenure of office
act Both Mr.. Guild and Engineer
Knight of the board, stated that the
board should have free hand in the en-
ployment of janitors, as they exercise
great influence over the children In the
school They said that the mans char
acter cannot be determined by exami-
heat the school could be known before
his employment.
Mr. Guild said that if the janitor was
not of the right moral calibre his infiu-
ence on the minds of the children would
be very harmful. Mr.. knight considered
the janitors position next to Importance
to that of the principal, as far as his
effect on the molding of the child's
character is concerned. The bill was
opposed.
The committee on weights and meas
ures OF the Common Council opposed
Senate bill 40, which affects the local
of weights and measures.
An amendment was made to sections
IL and is OF the bill. These sections, as
in the bill, took away power
