patient was conscious when taken To
the hospital 1T was feared she had in
hailed the flame. and physicians were
unable to hold out any hope for her
recovery. During the night she
seemed conscious OF the fact that the
end was near. and she prayed that she
might live until her daughter. Mrs.
Elsie Chester. could reach here from
her home In New York.

years was organist at the First Con-
gregational Church. liver alone in
the K street house. Yesterday att
ernoon her domestic was away from
the house several hours. and when Mrs.
Bischoff returned home from the
shopping district she went to the
kitchen to prepare food for her three
pet dogs.
1t is thought Mrs. Bischoff permitted
too much gas to flow from the fixture on
the stove before she applied the match.
and the flame ignited her apron. There
was nobody In the house to respond TO
her calls for help. but her screams at
tracted the attention OF neighbors, and
persons in the adjoining house were able
to see her at the kitchen window fighting
the flames.
Break Open Doors.
Those who responded to her piteous ap-
peals broke open the front and back
doors. BY the time they reached the
kitchen, however, Mrs. Bischoff had al
most succeeded In extinguishing the
blaze. Neighbors rendered first aid treat.
ment, and Mrs. Bischoff was seated on q
chair in the kitchen talking to neighbors
when the firemen reached the house.
Mrs. Bischon had received several burns
on her arms, hands. face and shoulders,
and was suffering intense pain when She
was taken to the hospital.

Impressed by the Chivalry.

Mr. Chase was SO pleased with their
conduct that he decided then and there to
some day repay the boys In an indirect
way IL not in a direct way. When he
heard that in order to carry on the Boy
Scout campaign in Washington during
the last year friends Of the organization
had advanced $3.50. which has not yet
been repaid. and that 5000 is needed for
the coming season. he said he felt that
by giving n benefit for the Boy Scouts
'ast.ng week he would have the oppor-
turlty 10 make just return for the
treatment he had received from the two
Boy .,cCuts IN Columbus.

HOPE TO REVIVE TR0TTlNG
London Trotting Club Formed
to Promote the Sport.

London, Sept H.-With the object OF
raising light harness racing TO the high
standing prevailing in the United States.
the London Trotting Club has been or
ganiZed.
Although the number Of trotting meet
ings in the United Kingdom has never
been large some OF them have given the
sport an unsavOry reputation by indulg-
inR in practices which have been practi-
Cally banned from American tracks. Even
the professional racing for stakes does
not furnish race records comparable with
matinee racing in America. and the pro-
1ectors OF the new club are as anxious 10
raise this standard as they are TO make
the racing clean
Tho club has adopted many Of the latest
rules In light harness racing and will IN
sist on their observance. The system Of
penalties and suspensions which prevailed
under the old Trotting Union OF Great
Britain will be revived and enforced. The
style OF starting has been remodelled and
All horses will be required TO be sent of
from behind tapes. The track will be
closed TO horses that are late In answer
ing the starters bell, thereby obvating
the delays which have made the sport I'M
poUular with spectators. r new body OF
stewards has been appointed and IT VIII
.oyerate under q fresh set OF racing rules.
The FIRST meeting OF the new club will
he held at Imbercourt Park, Thames Dit
ION. az the end OF this month.

M. LIE BARGY ON DRESS
French Actor Thinks Sc, 900 a
Year Necessary.
fBy cable to The Tribune.

Lo. don, Sept. 2i--In declaring that
81. 900 Is hi. minimum dress allowance
and th:t no man can be well dressed
who does not spend at least that
amount year on clothes. NJ. lie
Bargy. the French actor and the best
dressed man in Paris. has made glad
the hearts OF tailors and futtered a
little the souls OF the young men about
town I'm London. But IL is pointed out
that there are very few London tailors
who charge on an average SO much as
so $50 a suit. Some suits would ex-
coed that price, but others-the lounge
suits-would be less, even II they were
lined with silk.
Thus, II he wished TO go in for
clothes coIlccting-he could not wear
them out-M. lie Bargy, on his allow
ance, could have two of his suits a
week all the year around. AS to the
question. How much ought man 10
be well dressed spend annually on his
clothes? n West End tailor expresses
his opinion that $500 a year is a gen.
erous allowance Boots, hats, ties, UNI
derlinen, etc, would be extra
