Fifteen jewellers in the five story brick

penned in the two upper stories of the
building last night when their escape
down the stairs was cut of by a mystic
rious fire and explosion shortly after 10
O'Clock. Two OF them, Mrs Mary Boil
ger. 60, and her daughter, Maud, 20,
were driven by the flames to leap from
the fifth floor to the roof Of the adjoin-
ing building at 80 Third avenue. two
stories below. They were taken to Belle
vue Hospital with internal injuries and
broken arms and legs. Ire remaining,
terants chung to fire escapes until they
were carried down ladders in safety by
firemen.
The fire started with an explosion
shortly after 10 o'clock. An alarm was
turned In by a passerby. who heard the
defamation and saw the flames mush-
rooming from the roof. The initial ex-
plosion was followed by series of 9TH
ers. and the fire shot up the dumb waiter
shaft with such force that the doors were
blown off on each floor. Many of the
tenants were aroused by the sound Of the
explosions and appeared in the Railways
in their night clothes. The draught
caused by their open doors made the fire
burn more fiercely.
Mrs. Bolger and her daughter were
cut of from the staircase and the fire
drove them to their bedroom window.
They climbed through and chung TO the
coping until the approaching flames
caused them to jump The sound OF
their bodies falling on the roof two

street.
Patrolmen Scudder and McCarron Of
the Fifth street station hurried up the
stairs and through the skylight of the
building, upon which the couple had
landed. The exit to the roof was so
small and the woman SO badly injured,
It was decided not to attempt to carry
them TO the street over the route their
rescuers had taken. A ladder was ac-
cordingly raised to the four floor of the
burning building ana the unconscious
forms OF the two were carried UP. Fire
men lifted them through the opening and
CROPPED their way through thick smoke
to a fire escape. Then another ladder
was raised and they were taken down

were carried down. The last trip was
made with pet dog owned by Mr.. and

There are Business
Men Who Boast That

book, but get all the reading
they want from newspapers and
magazines, principally for local
information.
All the historical books of the
world and the intellectual slim
illus so profitable for the sharp
ening of faculties and cultiva-
ton of the mind for patriotic
and business purposes is lost to
them not only in the family life
but also in the duties of a
greater citizenship in which the
business men of America must
necessarily take an important
part.
We are men interested in all
that concerns men and therefore
must not starve our minds by
becoming mere shopkeepers.
Being in touch with the minds
of great writers changes the cur
rents of thought and rests and
refreshes US after the exhaust
ing cares and responsibilities of
the long days in our Offices and
mills and it tends towards fit
ting ourselves for the better
work of a coming day.
We cannot keep on pumping
up in ourselves the forces and
inspirations the mental capital
required by those days of his
tory making.
The time and new energy that
our own business requires de-
mands the use of every means
to be qualified in the best way
for the discharge of the duties
imposed upon US as employers
and citizens of a greatening
city.
