CATCH 3 CHILDREN
In LEAP AT FIRE
Two Men Also Break Fall of
Mother-Girl Burns to
Death in Newark.

Alarmed by a trivial but smoky blaze
at Gas Hendrix ST.. East New York, last
night, Mrs. Rose Schuckman tossed one
child from the third story, ordered
three older children to jump, and then
leaped to the sidewalk Two men, one
a powerful negso, caught three of the
youngsters and broke the fall of the
other and the mother.
in Irvington, n j., one Of four chill
dren left alone while their mother went

her burns an hour after reaching n
hospital.
Mrs. Caroline Nelson, eighty-six
years old, may die in Lebanon Hospital
because OF burns received in a fire in
the apartment Of her son-in-law, Dr.
Warren a. Tanning, Of 1856 East l66th
ST., The Bronx.
Mrs. Schuckmans panic was entirely
unnecessary, the damage IN the East
New York fire being estimated at S25.
She lives on the top floor of the build
ing. and the flames were confined TO
the cellar. in the stock of grocer, who
has q store on the ground floor and
lives with his family on the floor
above. When she opened the door,
however, a volume of smoke met her.
and without waiting to find out If all
means of escape were really cut Oft,
she opened the window and followed
her children through the air.
Isidor Hochstein. u barber, of $40
Hendrix ST., and Charles Herdon, q
negro janitor at $50 Hendrix ST. stood
below and caught the leapers. Max,
five years. old, and the first one down,
slipped through Herndon's arms. It
was feared that he had fractured
skull, but in Bradford Street Hospital
IT was found that ne had been only
stunned. His mother. whom both men
tried TO catch, has Il broken leg.
Myrtle Becker, five years OLD, daugh-
ter OF a Newark department store en-
ploye, was the New Jersey victim.
Her mother returned home, az 34J

Mrs. Jennie Graham Conn.

At her home few miles east of Son.
erville, on February 8, 1915, the soul of
Mrs, Jennie Graham Conn, broke its
earthly bonds and went to be with her
Savior, having succumbed to stroke of
paralysis which attacked her a few
days before. So sudden was the end
that those who knew and loved her had
scarcely learned of her illness till short
ly the message came that she was no
more.
She was born May 8, 1858, she was
taught to love the House of God and its
services and in early childhood united
with the Presbyterian church in Som
erville. On April 10, 1881 she was
married to G. M. Conn, thence moving
her membership to Rehobeth church,
she remained consistent member to
the end.
She was the mother of children,
four of whom with their father survive
her: Mamie Conn, Mrs. A. c. Mont
gomery, Mrs. j. H. Armour, Mrs. c.
M. Atkirson, all of Somerville.
Tenderly she was laid away in the
Rehobeth cemetery, services being
conducted by her pastor, Rev. G. A,
Harper.

the originator of dragging advocates is

account of it's sharp edge it seems to

of dragging by noticing in his hog lot
that where his hogs rooted out holes to
wallow in when it rained, that when
the sun had dried them they had a
hard crust on them from being cement
ed while wet. He then recalled that
when ground was plowed wet, the sun
baked it hard. He then thought why

In regard to what streets the con-
crete walk should be laid upon this

street is entitled to it. let all CT US keep
tempers sweet. The Mayor and Board
of Aldermen can not please everybody
at the same time, and whatever they
do will be disappointment to some.
ALI OF us have lived our entire lives un-
til five years ago without any concrete
walks, and in four years every man in
the town can put his feet upon con-
crete walk as soon as he steps out OF
his front gate and keep upon it any
where in town he wants to go. All
the concrete walks in town are not
worth resentment and hard feelings to
our neighbor. We would all be in a
mighty bad fix if we could not say our
prayers or give God any money, for we
can't say our prayers, and If we do
God won't hear them, if we cannot
sincerely say, Forgive US our tres
passes as we forgive those who tres

Miss Matte Mason of North Main
Street has been visiting relatives near
Michigan City, Mississippi.
There is story in the old school
reader of man who made a firm re-
solve that he would please every body.
He started to mill with sack of corn
upon his mule and riding his mule with
his little boy walking by his side. The
first man he met roundly abused him
for his hard heart for making his boy
walk while he rode, so he got down,
put his boy on the mule and he walked.
The next man he met roundly abused
him for the danger he put his boy in
from the mule running away and kill
ing him, so he got upon the mule with
his boy. The next man he met roundly
abused him for bis cruelty to the mule
making it carry so much load, so he
and his boy got down and walked while
he led the mule. The next man he
met roundly abused him for not carry:
ing the sack of corn himself, so he put
the sack Of corn upon his back and
went on to the mill leading his mule.
When he got there the miller told him
that if he was such fool to carry the
corn on his own back while he had Q
mule to bring it, he could go some.

An Honored Veteran Passes,

On February 28. 1915, in the quiet of
his home near Macon, surrounded
by those he loved, the spirit Of DR..
William /. Barron passed into the broad
experiences of the great beyond which
his metaphysical mind had always loved
to contemplate.
DR.. Barron was born near Yorkville,
South Carolina, April 80, 1899. In early
life he made a profession of religion
and Joined the Presbyterian church.
DR.. Barron completed his medical ed
ucation at Nashville. While he was a
quiet. unassuming man and shrank from
taking the responsibility of human lives
in his hands, few professional men were
ever more thoroughly grounded or kept
better posted on modern thought and
research than did DR.. Barron, even till
his last illness. His mental activity
made him a yoluminous reader and the
literature he loved was of the highest
class in the various fields of thought,
especially in his chosen profession and
in religion.
DR.. Barron was twice married and is
survived by two children by the first
marriage, w. l. Barron, near Macon,
and Mrs. Lalla Cunningham.
The second marriage was to Miss
Susan Kyle, November q, 1878. Mrs.
Susan Barron and her daughter, Mrs.
Daisy Doyle, are left at home to feel
the sharpest pangs from the removal OF
kind and loving husband and father.
In the death of DR.. Barron another
faithful comrade has fallen from the
rapicly thinning ranks oflthe old MA
con Grays," Company 13 of the 18th
Tennessee regiment, company that
distinguished itself on many a hard
fought battlefield. He loved to recount
the thrilling experiences of those dark
days and was devoted to the comrades
to whom he had been cemented by a
firm endurance of that baptism of fear.
famine, and fire.
DR.. Barron was transferred to the
1lth Tennessee regiment and promoted
to assistant Surgeon.
DR.. Barron was a great lover of the
beautiful and was long noted as the
cultivator of rarest and richest flowers.

His was an intelligent love and culture.
He delighted to call them by their
technical names and give the history Of
their propagation. Many bride has
born with pride his offering to the
altar, and many a sad heart has been
touched and soothed by his floral tribute
on the mound of lost loved one.
DR.. Barron had long been a close
bible student and his religious ex
perience ripened beautiful in his last
years. During his last lingering illness
be often discoursed gratefully and con
fidently on the riches of Gods grace,
and mercy and the wonders of his pro-
vidences.
DR.. Barron was tenderly laid to rest
in the old Sardis burying ground on
March /, 1915. Appropriate and feel
ing addresses were made by his pastor,
and Rev. Renshaw and Hon. j. P,

To the Housewife.

Madam, if your husband is like most
men he expects you to look after the
health of yourself and children. Coughs
and colds are the most common of the
minor ailments and are most likely to
lead to serious diseases. A child is
much more likely to contract diphtheris
or scarlet fever when il has cold. If
you will inquire into the merits of the
various remedies that are recommended
for coughs and colds, you will find that
Chemberlain's Cough Remedy stands
high in the estimation of people who
use it. 1t is prompt and effectusl,
pleasant and safe to take, which are
qualities especially to be desired when
medicine is intended for children.
