Truth Worth Waiting For.

The truth is always worth waiting for,
and when, as in the present case, the

WONDERFUL RESCUE.
HOW SERGEANT VAUGHAN SAVED A
LIFE VT A HOTEL FIRE.
A Member at th. New York Department
Who Endangered Hie Own Life to Save
a Onert of the Hotel Koya! Who Had
About Giron Cp All Hope.
Jacob A. Riis, author of "How the
Other Half Lives,” writes of "Heroes
Who Fight Fire” in The Century. The
article la one of the aeries "Heroes of
Peace.” Mr. Riis tells the following
story of a heroic rescue at the Hotel
Royal fire in New York some years ago:
Sergeant Vaughan went np on the
roof. The smoke was so dense there
that he could see little, but through it
he heard a cry for help and made out
the shape of a man standing upon a
window sill in the fifth story overlook
ing the courtyard of the hotel. The
yard was between them. Bidding his
men follow—they were five all told—
he ran down and around in the next
street to the roof of the house that
formed an angle with the hotel wing.
There stood the man below him only a
jump away, but a jump which no mor
tal might take and live. His face and
hands were black with smoke. Vaughan,
looking down, thought him a negro. He
was perfectly calm.
"It is no use,” he said, glancing up.
"Don’t try. You can’t do it. ”
The sergeant looked wistfully about
him. Not a stick or a piece of rope was
in sight. Every ahrejj was used below.
There was absolutely nothing. "But I
couldn’t let him, ” he said to me months
after, when he had come out of the hos
pital a whole man again and was back
at work, "I just couldn’t, standing
there so quiet and brave. ” To the men
he said sharply:
“I want you to do exactly as I tell
you now. Don't grab me, but let me
get the first grab.” He had noticed that
the man wore a heavy overcoat, and had
already laid his plan.
"Don't try,” urged the man. "You
cannot save me. I will stay here till it
gets too hot, then I will jump. ”
“No, you won’t,” from the sergeant,
as he lay at full length on the roof, look
ing over. "It is a pretty hard yard down
there. I will get you or go dead myself. ’ ’
The four sat on the sergeant’s legs as
he swung free down to the waist, so he
was almost able to reach the man on the
window, with outstretched hands.
"Now, jump—quick!” he command
ed, and the man jumped. He caught
him by both wrists as directed, and the
sergeant got a grip on the collar of his
coat.
"Hoist!” he shouted to the four on
the roof, and they tugged with their
might. The sergeant’s body did not
. move. Bending over till the back creak
ed, it hung over the edge,’ a weight of
203 pounds suspended from and holding
it down. The cold sweat started upon
his men’s foreheads as they tried and
tried again, without gaining an inch.
Blood dripped from Sergeant Vaughan’s
nostrils and ears. Sixty feet below was
the paved courtyard. Over against him
was the window, behind which he saw
the back draft coming, gathering head
way with lurid, swirling smoke. Now
it burst through, burning the hair and
the coats of the two. For an instant he
thought all hope was gone.
But in a flash it came back to him.
To relieve the terrible dead weight that
wrenched and tore at his muscles he
was swinging the man to and fro like a
pendulum, head touching head. He
could swing him up! A smothered shout
warned his men. They crept nearer the
edge without letting go their grip on
him and watched with staring eyes the
human pendulum swing wider and wid
er, farther and farther, until now, with
a mighty effort, it swung within their
reach. They caught the skirt of the coat,
held on, pulled in, and in a moment
lifted him over the edge.
They lay upon the roof, all six,
breathless, sightless, their faces turned
to the winter sky. The tumult of the
street came up as a faint echo. The
spray of a score of engines pumping be
low fell upon them, froze and covered
them with ice. Thl very roar of the fire
seemed far off. The sergeant was the
first to reoovtf. He carried down the
man he had daved and saw him sent off
to the hospital. Then first he noticed
that he was not a negro. The smut had
been rubbed off his face. Monday had
dawned before he came to, and days
passed before he knew his rescuer. Ser
geant Vaughan was laid up himself
then. He had returned to his work and
finished it, but what he had gone
through was too much for human
strength. It was spring before he re
turned to his quarters, to find himself
promoted, petted and made much of.
A Bureau of Courtesy.
"A curious innovation, ’ ’ says the Bos
ton Transcript, "at the coming Omaha
exposition will he a bureau of courtesy.
Not only is the idea novel, but it is sur
prising to learn that nearly all the peo
ple of the city will be enrolled in the
committee. Every member will wear a
badge, and visitors will be at liberty to
address any one who wears the badge
and ask for information just as much as
he likes. The member, on the other
hand, will be pledged to treat the visitor
courteously and answer his questions,
or put him in the way of getting them
answered. ”
Coke In Different Countries.
The prices at which coke is quoted in
different countries are given as <1.44 in
the United States, SB.IB in Great Brit
ain, $3.24 in France, $3.36 in Germany,
$3.48 in Belgium, and in Spain $5.08.
These figures are based on the quantity
of coke used in the manufacture of a
ton Os bessemer pig iron.
The proportion of deaf mutes to the
population is one to every 2,043. In
1851 there was one deaf mute to every
1,738 of the population. Physicians
claim that this decrease is mainly trace
able to greater knowledge aud care in
the treatment of scarlatina in children. (

LIGHT TOUCHES.
The construction of some Pianos and
Organs is such as to require considerable
force to produce sound. In those we are
showing the mechanical parts are so nicely
adjusted that they respond to the most
delicate touch. But they can stand the
heavier hand of a player made enthusiastic
by the richness of tone, the volume, the
parity of their notes. And the exteriors
are fitting houses for such music. See
