To raise a relief fund of over fM.MO !ni
three months at a time when dozens of
worthy appeals are flooding the country
is a splendid record, but when the work of
raising that sum of money is practically
assumed by one woman it becomes mem
orable.
Tn the latter part of September Mrs.
Whitney Warren, who had intended to re
main in Paris as a volunteer nurse was
persuaded by Ambassador Herrick to
leave. SSe sailed, bringing with her an
appeal to Americans written by her hus

Many Persons Attended Meeting is the

ing—Schools Were Visited and
Booster Chorus Organised
The Rev. O. E. HUlis and party have
aroused considerable enthusiasm in the
union evangelistic movement launched
in High scire Sunday evening with the
result fiat the meeting last evening,
held in the United Brethren church, was
largely attended.
The evangelist used as his theme last
evening "A Tragedy in Pour Acts,"
which he outlined as follows:
' • The great study of mankind should
be the study of life." that life is a
j tragedy from the cradle to the grave,
j that history is made up of it. that the
' Bible is a book of tragw»tv from Genesis
' to Revelation, citing Uhe tragedv when
Adam and Eve in the G*rden o£ Eden,
; sinned and were driven from it; .. at he
! said, was the tirst great tragedy. Then
j came the tragedy of the deluge, which
he portrayed vividly. Then the tragedy
! of the crucifixion, but the most wonder
fully portrayed of si! was the "'Feast of
; Belshaziar." with the handwriting on
1 the wall.
A booster chorus of over 100 voices
was organized yesterday afternoon
among children whose ages ranged from
7 to 14 years. The Rev. Mr. Hillis and

HERJON AT FIRE
C«>lU«a4 Frw Klni Pa«ti
discovery of the fire anil which was
loud enough to awaken the neighbor
hood, is a puzzle to tire Ohief Kindler,
although he believes it may have been
caused by gas escaping from the jet
which the older Mrs. Blair tried unsuc
cessfnllv to light.
Woman Shows Heroism
In her bed in the ho«pital this morn
ing thv older Mrs. Blair told how the
fire started. She became ill during the
night and rising from her bed obtained
a match, lu striking it the heal flew
off and started a fire in the carpet of
her room. She tried to stop the blaze
with her hands and feet which were
terribly bu>ned. When rescued later
her clothing was alire. She was un
conscious when the rescuer reached
her.
The younger .Mrs. Blair was awak
ened by the smoke and went from her
own room at the front of the house, in
the second door, to the rear where tlws
crackling of the flames could he heard
i plainly through the closed door. She
opened the door and went into her
mother-in-law's room but the smoke
drove her away. Going to her son's
room on the same floor she wrapped the
boy in a blanket and carried him
I through the smoke-filled halls to the
front porch. There she met Claud
l*oatz, who was just returning from
turning in an alarm from Sixth and
Mahautongo streets. She shouted:
"Mother is still up th«re.'•
Lontz followed her directions ami'
went to the second floor. The elder
Mrs. Blair had made her way out of
the burning room and along the hall
way to the foot of a flight of stairs I
leading to the third floor where she
fell, exhausted and overcome by smoke.
Guided by the daughter-in-law, Lontz
carried the burned woman to the front
porch. She was revived in the air and
was Inter carried across the street to
No. 612 by Kugene J. McCurdy, who,
resides at that address. From there she i
was later taken to the hospital in an !
ambulance.
All of thp skin had been burned from
Mrs. Blair's 'hands and feet and she
was painfully scorched about the far.*
and head. McCnrdy afterward returned
to fig-ht the flames aud was hdmsttlf
slightly injured by falling plaster in the
Blair home.
Explosion Shakes Row
W lion the firemen responded to flhe
call the upper floors of the Blair 'home
were a mass of flames and the other
houses in the row were in grave danger.
Water streams were used immediately
and the Blair home was flooded. Some
ol' t>he heavy furniture on the first floor,
including a piano, were saved by neigh
bors. Mr. Blair, who is a brakeman"in
the Harristnirg yards of the Pennsylva
nia railrond, was at work when the fire
started. His loss, he said this morning,
will readh SI,OOO.
The principal loss to the adjoining
houses was from the water, which dam
aged the carpets to some extent. The
explosion which knocked plaster from
other houses in the row. bulged the tin
roofs over the row of houses, in some
places as much as two feet. The loss on
the buildings will be more than SI,OOO
and, the contents of the two houses ad
joining the Blair home, ma'ke up the
rest of the total loss of SS.OOO.
The members of the family of Charles
tiont;!, at 611 Schuylkill street, moved
the furniture from their home to the
front porch during the blaze. They did
not lake it back into the house as prep
arations had been made to remove to
1 , -52 Wood street to-morrow. When
the fire compelled the removal of the
furniture the family decided to advance
the moving by one day and this morn
ing the furniture was hauled to the
new address.
