AKLAND, Dec. 20.—With rare coolness and presence of mind, Alma Cahlll, thirteen years old, prevented a panic Tuesday even- ing during an entertainment at Klinkner Hall, Goiden Gate. There were | 40 people in the auditorium, and the af- falr was running smoothly when sudden- ly a burst of flame among the stage dec- orations caused a startled rush among the auditors. Little Miss Cahlll was at the center of the stage in the midst of a recl- tation. The greenery and cloth embellish- | ments were smoking and blazing, but the child did not stir, nor check her words, which seemed to come from her lips more clearly and strongly as she observed the danger. Her coolness checked the spasmodic movement that was started, and men who sat near the flaming decorations tore them down and stamped out the danger- ous fire. As soon as the last spark had been crushed out the startled people regained their composure, and the inter- rupted entertainment was resumed. The stage was {llumined in front by gas footlights. Some of the finery used In the decorations wae drooped oo closely to the burners, The stuff became hot dur- ing the evening, but the danger was un- noticed until, without a bit of warning, the flames broke forth. They were ob- served quickly enough to present a more serious result than occurred.
