He chose the work more from an impulse,
superinduced by true philanthropic mo-
tives than by greedy desire for worldly
gain. In fact, the compensation received
by the brave lads who fought the destroy
ing element in those days was mere baga-
telle. In the dreary hours of the night the
sound of church bells and steam whistles
summoned the volunteer service from peace
ful slumber out into the cold and forebOding
darkness, only illuminated by the bright
flames of the leveler Of all things combusti-
bic, to struggle for the preservation of life
and property. The youthful Frank never
shrunk from dutys call. Persevering. per-
Sistent and dutifuI, he met with q Just and
merited reward. AT that time Baldwin
Brown was chief of the old st. Anthony
tre department and it was when the little
but aspiring hamlet on the eastern bank of
the Father of Waters was struggling with
Minneapolis in the race for supremacy in
manufacturing and mercantile Importance
and in which race st. Anthony was seri-
ouslY handicapped oy the then n-progresS-
i've and conservative owners of the
water power on that side of the river.
Frank Stetson was then but an humble pipe
man. but in that capacity he distinguished
himself by a natural aptitude. 1t was in
the year 1859 that he made his first run
with the Cataract company, and he was a
good runner, too, but he counts less on his
heetness now than he does on his PAGER
On July 1, 1879. Frank received a promo
ton to foreman Of his company, and the
event was properly celebrated. Under Chief
VIM Bracket he served as second assist
ant engineer, and at the time of the horri-
BILE holocaust in which the valiant First AS
sistant Neil Fredericks' life was sacrificed

district, when the mill explosion of Dec.
4, 1881, occurred, Stetson was promoted to
first assistant, to fill the position so made
vacant, and on March l, 1852. he was
elected chief by the city council, upon the
resignation of VIM Bracket. which Office
he has since filed with honor to himself
and credit to the city.

marked up to his credit both ability and a
proud and efficient career, the chief readily
made the appointment which was unani-
mOusly concurred in by the city council.
Gus Runge began the study of the philos-
ophy of fires by feeding the hungry nav of
huge stationary engine in the old city
hall. He was of an observing turn and
always profited by his observations. He
was appointed to the volunteer de
partment in 1874, and when an
alarm was sounded the engine room
at the city hall was suddenly
deserted and "Gus" responded to duty's
call. From the street corner he waited the
passing of a hose carriage. which he
mounted. His tastes ran at the very first
to the intricacies of hook and ladder work.
however, and in July, 1879, he was APP

pany No. 1. A big, brawny foreman he
made. the pride of his chief and the conf
dant of his co-ordinates. When poor Neil
Frederick's soul was offered up on the mon
ument of the department, Chief Bracket
recognized A. II. Runge's valor by appoint
ing him second assistant chief, and Chief
Stetson is not slow in saying that it was
move not to be regretted. On April he
was promoted to first assistant, which posi-
ton he now occupies, and in the absence of
the chief GUS assumes, with ability and
discretion, the entire management of the

Returning to the senate, it is interesting
to look at the various beverages. FRYE
Blair, Teller and Joe Brown are among
the teetotalerS. and Brown is one of the
first temperance men in Georgia. He
ayowed temperance principles long before
the state became as much anti-liquor as il
now IS, and he keeps up with his early
record. Senator Hoar drinks milk. Vest.
true Missourian that he is. can stand any,
thing. and Edmunds likes good whisky
and old brandy. Ex-senator Peadleton
was very fond of champagne and his COM
mittee-room often contained choice article
OF alcoholic stimulant. Beck and Black
burn like old Bourbon, but they never get
too much of it, and of the numerous sena-
tors who take just little for their stom-
ach's sake have seen few of them affected
by their drinking. The statesmen of the
past drank considerably. Chevalier Bau-
court, in his nonsensical book called
Souvenirs of Diplomat, saws
that Webster was drunk at several dinners
at which he met him. Henry Clay occa-
Slonally took dram at Hancock's saloon
on the other side of the avenue, and Tom
Benton's favOrite drink was what he called
Missouri cocktail, which was a double
portion of whisky straight. JEFF Davis used
to drink claret with his meals, Andrew
johnson kept some rare old Bourbon in his
private office, and Sam Houston, it is said,
never went to breakfast until he had taken
four cocktails.

EIGHT-HOUR POINTS.
Dependent Largely on the Matter
OF Trade and Hts Nature.
To the Editor of the Globe:

AZ tue VI tue
In adopting the eight-hour system IL
some countries it has crippled trade very
materially. Investigation has shown that
such countries were dependent on COM
mercial trade and shipping Tor their pros
perity. Shipbuilding and such enterprises
depend on the life of commerce for existence.
But in a country that is self-suStaining i'm
every respect, as is America, there Is moth
ing to fear from this movement. The en-
plOyer cannot be oppressed in any case
wherein he may not be prepared in the
price of contract to meet extra demands and
no safer rule for him to go by can be estab.
lished than the regulation of the hours
of toll as we'll as the price of toll.
Out of the purse of the prime construct
ors must come the price of the building.
A regulated standard fixes the minimum
and by il are the matters of trade regulated.
Nor can the contractor suffer in the prem
ises where he does not depend on some
other nation for the sale Of the product of OF
the use of his labor.
AS has been the case in some European
countries. where wOrkmen have been
obliged to give time To their employers to
help them out of the difficulties arising
from the shortening of hours i'm toll. AS a
spring will Cow and be fresh and vigorous.
while a pond will become stagnsnt
so WITH NATIONS
that are seif-suppOrting and so with the
affairs Of its people or its business, and
such must be the effect of the shorter hour
system and its adoption, according to the
condition of the nation i'm respect to the
things we are considering. While
10 many this may appear as a
far-fetched idea. il is, nevertheless. one of
the prime features i'm the effects and bene-
fits of the eight-hour movement, and one
that will ere long force itself on the atten-
ton of the American people. We can
build our ships. our railroads, our factories
and our business houses. as well as MAIN
tain all that tends to the prosperity of a
self-suppOrting nation. Hence we cannot
but be beautifed by the adoption of a sys-
TEN that means more employment and q
better state o. affairs for the employed. for
business men are always more prosperous
where workmen are in demand and wages
good. AS high-preSsure engine Will draw
a greater load, so does a high standard
mean better state of affairs.
Let us have more leisure hours and as
result men will be better in all classes, In
an intellectual sense as well as i'm moral
or business sense. And we will not have
as we have to-day. cities numbering so, 600

TYPOGRAPHICAL TRIUMPH.
Successful Strike by the Printers
Of the West Publishing Company.

For a good while the Office Of the West
Publishing company has been the scene of
frequent trouble of a more or less serious
nature. Not long since the union gained
control Of the Office, and matters have been
adjusted two OF three times unsatisfactory.
A short time ago the company was paying
by the piece. and the men, not being able
to make fair wages, demanded ~ cents per
thousand ems, all matter to be measured
upon the regular scale. This the company
would not grant, but later put
the best men on by the week
Shortly after this change the Office began
giving all the class of matter called ''phat, {"
on which a good deal of money can be
made, to the hands paid by the week. while
the 'lean" matter was given TO those work
ing by the piece. The result was that the
week hands made no more and the piece
hands made q good deal less The men
asked that all matter be run Off common
hook, but the company refused. As a re-
suit of this trouble the ''piece hands, were
discharged. and on Wednesday the union
called out the remaining men, leaving work
at a standstill. On Friday the company
sent the executive committee a request for
a conference, and the matter was immedi-
ately settled by the concession Of all the
union asked.

AID. Kain,s Resolution.

At the special meeting of the council on
Tuesday evening the report of the commit
tee on the resolution fixing the wages of day
laborers employed on city work was dis
cussed at length. and finally adopted by a
vote of Is to l. AID. Sanbom voting i'm the
negative and AID. PetSch being absent.
Aid. Sanborn favored the general scope OF
the report. but thought it confiicted with
the law. The report closed with the rec
concentration:
That in the future no contract be approved
by the common council unless IL shall first be
satisfied that the contractor is entirely re-
sponsible, and that he will pay at least s.. so
per day for labor and SO per day for teams;
and that the board of public works be and Is
hereby Instructed to pay not less than 81. SO
per day for laborers employed upon the street
force.
In accordance with a resolution offered by
Aid Starkey, the president appointed AID.
Starkey, Kerr and Kahn a committee to ap-
pear before the board of public works and
ask that body TO carry ont the views embodied
in the report.
