Jbut without his overcoat. As far as we

feather gods do not bellevo In Horace's
fiolden mean. Hardly does a mannjoy

DR. M. CAREY THOMAS
INHERITS MILLIONS
President of Bryn Mawr Col
lege Made Heir of Miss Mary
Elizabeth Garrett.
MISS M. CAREY THOMAS
Mlbs Mary Carey Thomns, president of
Bryn Mawr College, will Inherit the bulk
of the vast estate of Miss Mary Elizabeth
Garrett, one of Baltimore's wealthiest
women and a member of tho Board of
Directors of tho college, who died last
Saturday nt nryn Mawr. Tho value of
the estate Is said to be between 52,000,000
and J3,00O,00O.
Mtss Thomas' Inheritance Is uncondi
tional, although It Is said that there was
an agreement between her and Miss Gar
rett as to tho uso of the money and that
this Is well understood by Miss Thomas,
MISS THOMAS IN BALTIMORE.
Miss Thomas Is In Baltimore, where
she went to attend tho funeral of Miss
Garrett. It was said at the college that
she would remain In Baltimore until
Monday In order to look nfter some busi
ness In connection with the estate.
It is believed that the entire fortune
will be devoted to the development of
Bryn Mawr Collego or other educational
purposes, but no cerlflcatlon of this
could be made at the ofllce of the In
stitution. The will of Miss Garrett refers to the
fnct that she and Miss Tomas have been
closely associated In their work for the
higher education of women, and that she
Is confident Miss Thomas will make ap
propriate and wlso use of the gift, and
that her sympathy with and confidence In
Miss Thomas' judgment and wisdom )s
only one of the motives In making the
gift and in no sense a condition. The will
says she makes the gift to Miss Thomas?
"absolutely and without reservation or
restriction, nnd without the purpose of
creating any trust, to be her own prop
erty and as fully subject to her domin
ion, use and disposal as any other prop
erty which she owns."
COLLEGE NOTE MENTIONED,
The college is not mentioned In the will,
but there are special bequests for the
Brn Mawr School for Girls and the
Johns Hopkins University. The estate
Is made up chiefly of realty in Baltimore,
Baltimore County and Garret County,
Maryland, and of stocks, much of which
was Inherited by Miss Garrett from her
father, John W. Garrett, who was presi
dent of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

TEACHER LEADS FIFTY
CHILDREN FROM FIRE
Youngsters, Singing, March to
Safety at Northern Home for
Friendless Children.
More than M children, ranging In ages
from 4 to 14 years, were led to safety to
day, by Miss Lillian May Appleby, super
tendent of the Northern Home for Friend
less Children, when fumes from n quan
tity of sulphur, which had caught fire
In the basement, threatened to suffocate
all the Inmates of the institution at S3d
and Brown streets. About one-fourth of
tho children rescued were members of
the kindergarten class, but a a. all the
pupils had been trained In a tire drill
no one was hurt, and the endangered
descendants of Civil War fighters marched
to tho campus quietly.
When the fire started In the basement
near the heating plant, half of the pupils,
who number about 100, were in the yard
at recess. They were the first ones to
notice smoke pouring from one of tho
basement windows nnd gave the alarm.
When a small wlup of smoke penetrated
to the room In which Miss Appleby was
Instructing her young charges her face
blanched.
SHo detected the odor of sulphur- Re
alizing that a small quantity of the deadly
fumes would be sufficient to snuff out the
lives of the children in a twinkling, she
threw open several windows and an.
nounced a song for the children to sing.
They arose to their feet, and while many
of them coughed and grew paie rrom the
fumes, thy did not suspect the fire be
neath them.
Mtss Appleby then led the children to
the second floor hallway and called to
three other women teachers who had Just
discovered the odor of the burning sul
phur. They opened the windows and as
sisted Miss Appleby to conduct the chil
dren to the open air. When the firemen
arrived they threw ladders to the win
dows on the upper floors, but all the
children had been taken out of the build
ing. The fire was quickly extinguished,
and It Is believed to have started from
spontaneous combustion amonga pile of
sulphur kept in the bassment of the In
stitution for cleaning purposes.

alarm which was turned tn the children
