RESCUES THRILL
CROWD WATCHING
MILWAUKEE FIRE
Flames Sweep Windsor Hotel
and Newspaper Building,
Causing a Loss Estimated at
$350,000.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, March 19.-
The Windsor hotel and the Western
Newspaper Union building which
housed the Milwaukee Evening Wis
consin. one of the oldest newspapers
in the state, was destroyed by fire
early Thursday with loss estimated
at $35O.OO0.
Thrilling rescue scenes were staged
in the brilliant light of tbs burning
buildings and scores of acts OF hero
ism on the part of police and city
firemen were witnessed by a large
crowd that watched the fight to save
the remainder of the big business
block which contained the department
store of the T. a. Chapman Co.
Early reports that ten guests of the
hotel were missing were denied by
the police who said that their in
vestigation showed that no one was
killed or hurt and that every one reg
istered in the hotel had been ac-
counted for
Starts i'm Newspaper Office.
The blaze started in the newspaper
Office and spread quickly TO the hotel.
More than a score of guests were
trapped on the fourth floor of the
hostelry. Extension ladders were run
up to the Windows and firemen and
policemen assisted the men and wom-
en-, most of them in their night clothes
TO the street.
Patrolman Schmitt was the most
conspicuous hero of the fire. Risking
his own life he entered the burning
third floor OF the building and was re-
sponsible for saving a dozen men and
women guests. Soon after he climbed
to safety after exploring the upper
floors, the hotel building collapsed.
The firemen seeing no chance of saw
ing the newspaper building or the no.
tel turned their attention to the sur
rounding buildings and devoted their
energies to saving the Chapman store
and the Novelty Die works. Soon aft
er daylight the fire had nearly burned
itself out and the danger of spreading
10 the other buildings was believed
TO be past.

ARTILLERY OF FRANCE CELEBRATE FESTIVAL OF
 PATRON SAINT TODAY

This is the festival of St. Barbara, the gentle virgin and martyr who has been adopted by the artillery of all Christian nations as their patron saint. In France the fourth of De- cember has been celebrated for cen celebrated for centuries as the lar tfllery holiday" and Larousse tells us that although shorn of the religious element the feast of St. Barbe is all ways observed with enthusiasm The cannoneers are not likely to enjoy a holiday today. but it is likely that the religious among them will seek in prayer the intercession of the sweet and pious girl whom they have claim ed ss their special patron and pro- tector.
 St. Barbara or St. Barbe. as she is called in France, was chosen as the patron of cannoneers soon after the invention of artillery. St Barbara lived in the third century, and was the daughter of a pagan, Discorus, who kept her jeaIousIy secluded in a tower

which he had built for that purpose. This Imprisonment was adopted to prevent the girl from embracing Christianity. In spite of this enforced solitude, she was secretly visited by a Christian priest, from whom she re- ceived instruction and baptism. When Dfoscorus realized that all his pre- cautions were futile, he was wild with rage, and denounced his daughter be- fore the civil tribunal When she was sentenced to death. the father asked permission to act as executioner.
 According to legend, Dioscorus had no sooner beheaded his daughter than he was himself stricken dead by a bolt of lightning, which came from a, clear sky. It was accompanied by a tremendous crash of thunder, such as had never been heard before.
 It was doubtless the latter circum- stance which led the cannoneers of Europe to select Barbara as their patron saint, which was done soon after the invention of cannon in the fourteenth century. They found an analogy between the roar of cannon. lightning bolt and accompanying thunder peal which destroyed the slayer of Barbara. Tn the course Of time the origin Of the custom was all but forgotten. but the fourth of De- cember continued to be celebrated as the artillery holiday, especially in France. In the French artillery Of today their biggest guns have been nicknamed tBarbes,'. ?. just as the Eng fish soldiers refer to the great guns of the Germans as tsBusy Berthas''- a doubtful compliment to Bertha Krupp.
 When artil1erymen first began to celebrate their special festival. the guns they used would excite only laughter today. While 1t cannot be dsfinitely known when and where the Moors are entitled to the credit. They were said to have employed a crude cannon at Algeciras in 1343. Three years later, at the battle of Crecy, Edward TIT. is alleged to have had four pieces of cannon. It is cer- tain that the English had artillery at the siege of Calais in 1347. The Ger mans declare that the first cannon, was made in 1880 by Schwartz. ?, Ger man corde1ier. According to voItaire, the Venetial1s were the first to em- ploy cannon at sea- in naval battle with the Genoese in 1377. The first cannon cast in England was by Hug get in 1543. Gibbon describes a can non used by Mahomet IT. at the siege of Adrianople in 1453- Bombs were first used by the Turks at the siege of Rhodes in 1522. The shrapnel shell dates from the early part of the last century, and was the invention of Col. Henry ShrapneI who died in 1s42.
