Pension Attorneys Nathan W. Fitzgerald,

pose of influencing their action in the case

referred to, which was addressed TO the
District attorney, and signed y. W. Fitz-

The Art Loan Exhibition, which uas neeh

,alnly been remarkable eXhioitioh' re"
we imagine at first sight realized It's magn''
tude. That such collection oil specimens Oh
,he fine arts. in all branches, could be col
,ec,ea in this county would hardly have been
hs,eved nosslble. Indeed II contains almost
the history OF art in this county, and is inter
est,ng az telling In few words that history,
showing the progress of artistic taste here
from pioneer days to this day, and indicating
the increase in wealth and refinement OF the
county. True, the county is not old, nor has
the class OF wealthy families who have time
for art work grown large, but the amount
and character Of our art work is larger than
most supposed, while the interest in art work
is even greater, as shown by the great num-
Der Of art pieces of great value owned by La
Sale county people. In the way OF curiosi-
ties from all parts OF the world the collection
is even more remarkable It is very full and
most interesting.
The attendance has not been AS great as

hilton has been a pecuniarv as well as artls-

On Monday evening Miss Lotte Clark, OF
Utica, read couple OF selections in most
excellent manner, though the noise and
wretched condition of the halt for such per
iormances detracted seriously from the effect
the readings would have produced under
other circumstances. The same may be said
Of Miss Jordan's singing on Thursday night.
The music was excellent, but the hall in its
present condition Is quite unfit for e'lectivs
musical performances.
On Wednesday evening Dean Phillips made
II short but very pleasing address on Art,
drawing on the collection before him for the
illustrations of his text.
Among the noteworthy exhibits is the Edi-
son incandesccnt electric light, which Mr..
Ballard has displayed nightly. 1t is about
the power and color of good gas, and can be
handled in much the same way.
Among the paintings offered for sale is a
very fine copy of stuart's picture OF Wash-
ington, very old, but in splendid condition.
Stuarts has long been acknowledged as the
best portrait Of Washington ever made.

A subject of grea; consequence to Ottawa,
and one calling for universal attention, is
"How can fires, either In the business or
resident portions OF the city, best be sub.
dued?" The efficiency Of our present depart.
ment has been satisfactorily demonstrated.
No volunteer company in the state and few
paid departments can compare with that OF
Ottawa. With present means they accom-
pl!sh much. But without the best machinery
and perfect system to back them, no depart.
ment, however willing ana efficient, can meet
the flames with any degree of success Al
ready the city has accumulated many valua-
BILE machines, but at each succeeding fire ex.
perience proves that there is still something
seems to be for plentiful water supply. To
be sure, we have the canal and sidecut from
which to draw, provided the fire be within
reasonable distance Of these sources and that
the water is not "out of the sidecut," as, un.
fortunately has sometimes been the case
Some source should be provided for those
portions OF the city remote from the business
center and the channels named; and even,
also, for more water in the vicinity OF the
court house. Ia this connection, we note
with pleasure the general approval OF the
plan suggested in last weeks FREE TRADER:

house and supplying the county pumps with
water for hours. Another thought has been
advanced which seems practicable: In the
vicinity of the glass factories there are a
large number of wooden buildings, and & fire
once started there would gain destructive
Roadway before the steamers could possibly
reach the scene. A chemical engine, Of fair
capacity, located and manned by men in that
quarter, would render very effective aid in
keeping such fire in check, at least until
the steamers could reach there. So also in

engine. located in a central part OF the ward,
would be able to reach any part thereof in q
few minutes, and unquestionab!y would be
the means Of saving much valuable property.
Another suggestion has been made, in which
the insurance companies and owners are alike
interested; 1t is, that there be organized a
detachment of men having police authority,
who shall make it their business to save
property from burning buildings, and guard
the same until it can be securely stored.
Such company, vested with proper power,
on the night of the recent fire would have
found ample employment, and would have
probably reduced the fire loss hundreds of
dollars. We give these suggestions and in
vite for them the careful consideration Of the
