Beautiful Whiskers
Are Fired by Cigar

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 23.-An aged
man came mighty near losing a beau
tiful bunch of iron gray whiskers on
the city hall plaza when a gust of
wind blew some sparks among them
from a cigar he was smoking. The
man was stepping along at a lively
pace as he went through the east en-
trance to the courtyard, when sud-
denly smoke began to rise about his
face. and he stopped bewildered and
started TO yell. Some person, seeing
the fire in the lace curtains" called
to policeman to send in a fire alarm
and a score of persons and several
bluecoats rushed to the mans assist
ance.
After much difficulty they managed
to brush the flame from among the
hairs. Some of the burning whiskers
fell on the victims coat and the gar
ment took fire also, so that, after saw
ing the facial decoration, the res
cuers were next compelled to turn
their attention to saving his clothes.

STRANGE HISTORY
OF N0TRE DAME
Old Cathedral Endured Many
viciSsitudes During
Centuries

Some account of the history and
vicissitudes of Notre Dame appears in
the Strand The first cathedral was
erected in the year 52s by Childbert.
and afterward demolished, the same
site being used for the present build
ing, which was begun in 1853 and fin.
ished in 1851.
Alexander III laid the foundation
stone, the first mass being celebrated
by the patriarch Heraclius. The grand
old building has been sorely beset by
many dangers and has witnessed
many strange and stirring scenes.
ORGIES OF REIGN OF TERROR
The reign of terror in 1893 led to
such disgraceful orgies within the
precincts of the cathedral that it was
closed to the public as a place of di-
vine worship in 1894. but was re-
opened in 1902 by Napoleon. The in
terror has suffered severely at times
at the hands of the mob and indi-
viduals. The worst offender was, per-
haps, Louis XIV, who carrying out
his fathers vow, caused the destruc-
ton of the fourteenth century stalls,
the high altar embellished with gold
and silver statuettes. the cloisters,
tombs and unique stained glass work
In 1916 restoration was necessary in
many parts of the building. the work
being successfully undertaken by
Lassus, Violet lie Due and Boeswill-
wald
In 1871 also, during the commune,
Notre Dame was menaced with grave
dangers owing to the fury of the

entrance, collected all the available
