method of going down is so pleasant and
easy that the men prefer it to the regular
stairway plan of civilization.
The sleeping rooms of the men are at
once models of comfort and cleanli-
ness. The beds are large enough to ac-
commOdate only one individual, and are set
in regular rows on one side of the long
room. At the foot of each oaken bedstead
is cuspidore, and between each two is set
chair. The wardrobes are numbered con-
seeutively and stand at the ends of the
apartment.
One of Che most instructive features of
the fire apparatus is that pertaining to the

Gas light for the suburbs.

Mr. J. J. Dunnigan, the well-known
plumber of 22O East Seventh street, this
city, has secured the state agency for
Matthews Il Hollis celebrated pneumatic
gas machines, which are universally ac-
-knowledged to be the safest, cheapest and
most reliable apparatus made for lighting
country and suburban residehces. churches,
seminares, stores. halls, aSyluI1ls, etc.
One of them. with capacity of fifteen
burners. is now In operation at Mr.. Dim
nigams store and works like charm,
the place being by far the best
lighted on Seventh street. All of the
different styles of burners are used so as to
show various effects. The gas generator
is sunk deep into the ground forty feet or
more from the building and conducting pipes
ascend as they approach the house, which
renders accident from explosion or other
wise impossible. in this. particular the
machine differs from all. others and the
feature is of theutmost Importance. The
expense of arranging one for single house
is so small as to place it in the reach of
every property owner, and its workings are
as perfect for single residence or an insti-
tuition requiring 500 lights as if the usual
illuminating gas of the city was brought
into use. Those vino are not familiar with
the apparatus should call at 220 East
Seventh street to see it. The best time to
do so is in the evenings:

Jeyne,s Openiny.

According to announcement in the GLOBE
yesterday morning, Mr.. c. N. Jevne, late
of Chicago had a, formal opening at his
beautiful new store, No. 95 East Third
street. His stock of fine groceries and CT
CARS is immense, and the manner in which
they are displayed is very attractive. One
cannot gaze upon the good things without
experiencing watering at the mouth. Pre-
serves and other table delicacies of both
foreign and domestic makes are in great
variety, and we are told the prices for them
are made very low. Teas and coffees too,
are made speciality of. Mr.. Jevne is a
gentleman of ample business training and
he is heartily welcomed in our midst.

district demands the severeSt work from the
department, and leaves the balance of the
business portion of the city, the residence
portion and suburban districts, entirely I'M
protected. If, when the department is
fighting fire in that region,
an alarm comes in from another part of the
city, the efforts of the department are Grip
pied by the necessary detachment of a part
Of the apparatus for service against the
new fire. Besides this, many of
the alarms are far removed from this whole
sale district in another part of the city,
and if another alarm comes in again from
this valuable section, only portion of the
apparatus can respond. This lack of suffi-
cient apparatus was noticed by the board
of fire commissioners In its last annual
report, in which it was strongly recon-
mended that those portions Of the city lying
upon West Seventh street in the vicinity of
the Omaha shops, the st. Anthony hill dis
trict, DaytOn's bluff and that portion of
the city lying about the Rice street district,
be afforded more projection. In partial re-
Spouse to this demand there will be soon
located another engine company on East
Seventh street west of the Plow works,
and one in central fire hall, also a chenli-
cal engine in the Sixth ward.

Fractured skull.

At his home on Commercial street Mike
Cannon is lying almost at the point of
death, and his attending physician says he
has sustained fracture of the skull with
some prospect of pulling through. On
Thursday night he was attacked on Com
mercial street by one Thomas O'Brien, who
assailed him with rocks, one of the missiles
striking him on the head. Cannon was
found on the sidewalk in precarious con-
dition and removed to his home, while his
assailant fled. The assault, it is Under
stood, grew out of 1ong-standing feud.
The police are after O'Brien.

natural fire fighter, and contributes much by
his energy to the efficiency of the department.
The acting second assistant chief engineer
is Capt. NJ. F. Kelleher, whose efficiency
and urbanity are too well known to require
comment in this article, and whose length
precludes the possibility of doing him JUS
tice in a newspaper sketch.
The superintendent of the fire alarm tele-
graph is L. K. Jenkins, gentleman who
served for several years as assistant of E.
f. Barrett, superintendent of the fire and
police telegraph at Chicago. Mr.. Barrett is
the originator of a number of indispensable
fire alarm appliances, and one of the most
experienced and practical fire alarm
superintendent in the county. Mr.. Jen-
kins has the advantage of long association
with Mr.. BaTett's systems and methods,
and during his two years superintendency
of the st. Paul service has, by hard labor,
brought it to condition of great effective
ness.
A visit to the central or other fire halls of
the city diScloSeS to one interested in fire
fighting many points and ideas of value.
Upon the main floor of Central hall are
seen the reserve steam engine, used in case
of accident to one of the engines in actual
service, the chemical engine of Company
No. and the patent extension ladder truck,
carrying 2S4 feet of ladders, one scaler and
four pOmpiers. This latter apparatus,
which is of comparatively recent adoption,
is valuable acquisition. used with great
success in other large cities of the world.
1t consists of scaling ladders in
shape of single pole provided
with a peculiar long hook at
one end, and pierced with short rungs for
climbing. Armed with these Alone two or
three men can scale the front of the loftiest
building in safety. Accompanying these
scaling poles are broad belts Of canvas and
leather, provided with Ratchet and spike
holders. At the middle attached to stout
leather strap is huge steel snap swivel, by
means of which the wearer may suspend
himself, leaving his arms and legs free for
action. The spikes are used for driving
into the we'll of a building for attachments
of line when desirable. The chemical
engines are also of the greatest efficiency,

under the Earring of brightly flashing brass
and steel engines, in whose hearts the. fire
is already raging. In seemingly wild dis
order they follow each other, long, UNI
wieldlv ladder truck and blue patrol wagon
crowded with blue coats and reporters
picked up on the fly. The racing horses
are doing their utmost. and the men, some
of them hatless and coatless, and breathless
as if from run, are watching ahead to see
if they are being outstripped in the race for
the enemy's lines. 1t is a great sight and
everybody has seen it, but it is none the
less exciting because familiar.
The ST. Paul fire department is as eff
Gent as any fire department covering an
equal area of territory in the country, and
has fine record of efficient work performed.
The present chief engineer, John L. Black,
has been connected with it for the past two
wears. He is of sturdy Scotch parentage,
and has for the greater part OF his life re-
sided in Milwaukee, Wis. He became fas-
cinated early with fireman's life. and i'll
that city acted in all capacities of the sery-
ice, finally becoming the assistant chief en-
gineer of the department. When, two
years ago. the old ST. Paul fire department
was reorganized and changed from a part
volunteer to full paid department, the fire
commissioners, after carefully canvaSsing a
number of names for the position of chief,
both from ST. Paul and other Cities offered
the position to John L. Black. The offer
was accepted by him, and the position has
been filled ever since in a manner which has
given satisfaction to the fire board, under
writer's and citizens.

Donnel1y's Early Training.

Philadelphia News.
Ignatius Donnelly is likely to be appointed
surveyor general of Minnesota. The presi-
dent said one day last week to Senator Sabin
that he should select, if possible, a good sur
veyor, OF, at any rate, man who had some
practical knowledge of surveying. This rule,
it seems, does not exclude the author of 'sAt-
lantis." who had thorough training in early
life in practical and theoretical trigonometry.

A feature OF the fire
halls which attracts at
tention is the numerous
brass poles reaching
from the ground floor
up through double trap
doors into the sleeping
rooms of the men on
the second floor. When
an alarm is sounded st.
Paul firemen do not go
Town stairs; they have
no time for that method
of descending. They
throw an arm
and a leg around the
polished tube and slide
down. For some scien-
tiiic reason there ap-
pears to be a cohesion
between the man and
the tube, and the slight
est pressure is sufficient
to arrest the downward

The lnteIIg61lU dCIlOn Ol GueS0 dllllldlS
when the alarm gong sounds is well worth
a study. Their stalls face the engine and
the doors are thrown open by an electrical
appliance with the same impulse which
sounds the alarm. Although these brutes
may be feeding at the moment, stimuli
taneous with the swinging open
ct the doors they trot promptly
out to their places on each side Of the en-
CINE pole, each one watching the proceed
ings with expectant eye and as If anxious to
get under way. At the central hall the
horses are hitched and ready to start in six
seconds from the instant Of alarm. and in
fifteen to twenty-one seconds they are on the
street speeding to the fire. The eXplana-
ton of this wonderful promptness is found,
of course, in the daily drill, which is rigidly
inforced with both men and horses. But
all appear to enjoy this relief from the
usual monotony of holding down chairs and
boxes 1t should not be imagined, however,
that the life of a st. Paul fireman is an ex-
ceptionally lazy one. Aside from
the constant labor expended in keep
ing engine house and apparatus
clean and polished to mirror-like
brightness, the men are set at performing
extra labor in repairing engine houses and
engines and on fire alarm work, which is
by no means inconsiderable. When the liza
bility to accident and sickness consequent
upon exposure to the weather are taken into
consideration it will be seen that the fire
mans life snot altogether a monotOnOus one.

STREET SAYINGS.

Mr.. Henry Norman, the extensive boot
and shoe dealer of Chicago who failed in
1874, and who settled at that time for 35
cents on the dollar, has recently set an ex-
ample for commercial integrity and honest
trading which might be followed with good
grace by other flourishing bankrupts who
settle with their creditors for less than this
amount and then forget all about it. Mr..
Norman failed for SIS, 900, and after set
ting with his creditors he went to work
again to build up his business.
A short time ago, after ten years
of unceasing industry, he started East for
the purpose Of hunting up his old creditors,
and he has now settled for 100 cents on the
dollar to every one Of them. The prompt
manner in which he has met his obligations
has been the means of gaining him enthu-
siaStic receptions throughout the East, and
he is properly regarded as monument Of
commercial integrity. Mr.. Harmon has
branch store on East Seventh street in st.
Paul.
M
Mrs. Annie Palmer, who died at the resi-
dence of her daughter, Mrs. S. A. Phelps
of Minneapolis, April 80, deserves more
than passing notice. Mrs. Palmer, whose
maiden name was Travese, was born in
New York during the administration of
John Quincy Adams, remembered many Of.
the stirring events of the war of 1912, and
could entertain her friends by many anec-
doteS pertaining to those times. AS her
husband was one Of those engaged in ac-
tive service in the Mexican war, her fund
OF war "reminiscences was very complete.
Mrs. Palmer remembered all of the presi-
dental inaugurations, except that Of j. @.
Adams, to that Of Cleveland inclusive. The
descendants of Mrs. Palmer numbered sixty
seven, eight children, of whom six are
living, and attended her funeral. Her
grand children numbered forty and great
grand children twenty-seven. The late
Mrs. William Shelly was one of her
daughters. Very few attain to so great an
age and to the last retain in full vigOr their
mental faculties as did the subject of this
sketch. Mrs. Palmer survived her hus-
band thirty years.
