Many of the lads who slept on the fifth floor of the building were over come as they fought their way through the furnace-like halls, but all were saved. The Instructors mar shalled the boys and many of them walked from the burning structure pajame-clad, but in military forma tion. Without the warning blast of the bugle it would have been Impos sible to awaken scores in time. The fire started in the servants quarters and before it was discovered smoke had penetrated to nearly every part of the building, making many of the youths stupid and half overcom ing others before they were awak ened. . . . ; .' ' '. Once gaining headway, the fire spread rapidly. Then it was that the college buglers, Cadets Newton and Travis, took their bugles and ra up and down the halls, blaring away at the rising call. Within a few moments the exodus had begun, the score or more of in structors, who slept on the third and fourth floors, leading their charges through flame and smoke to the cam pus and parade ground. Many of those on the fifth floor, however, were missing. . When this was discovered a dozen youths darted back into the now fiercely blazing building and made their way at the risk of their lives to the top floor. There they roused their half-overcome comrades, and led or carried them to safety. A cadet sergeant on sentry duty discovered the Are, which is supposed to have been started by an overheated stove or fat boiling over on the1 kitch en range. . , . v '.' The sergeant notified the buglers after vainly trying to control the flameB, and then Colomel S. B. Jones, superintendent; Major Davis, com- mandant, and Captain Frazier, all of , the United States army, took com mand of the situation. Frick Company Restores Old Wage.

The tw;o rivals, one the greatest in this country and the other among the most expert of Europe, perhaps, dis agree upon the matter of which shall bear away the premier honors, but as to the Wright Brothers and their re cent infringement, of patents suits, both are vociferously as one. Paul1 ban said: . "It is contemptible. I would give $20,000 if either of the Wright broth ers was here to give a fair test 'of their machine with either our Bler iot s or Farmans. The Wright ma chine pouf! It is a toy. "When the Wright brothers came to France, were they treated in this manner?' No, no.
