INSTRUCTIONS TO FIREMEN.
A Few Pointers Tor the Boys to Bear In
Mind.

Mind.
When you hear the first tap Of the
chestnut bell, rush down town and get an
exprcssman. Never take Que with less
than two horses, even if YOU have TO wait.
When thus equipped, drive the horses at
their best speed to where the hose cart
ought to be when it is there.
Attach it firmly To the wagon and you
are ready to start. Ii You see a mau
coming Two blocks away, be sure aud
wait Tor him, as he may be the only man
in the company who knows which end Of
the nozzle to attach to the hose.
When you are ready 10 start, hunt the
nearest telephone and ask central Office
where the fire is.
If it is too far away, run home and get
your overcoat for fear you may catch
cold.
When you finally consider yourself in
readiness for PRONUNCIATION toward the
conf1agration, drive the steeds at an
elongated gallop toward the scene Of dis
aster.
Upon arriving, stretch the hose from
the fire to the nearest hydrant, and when
you find you've made a mistake, reel it up
and lay it right. Put the nozzle on as
soon as possible, no matter if you are in
the middle of the street The object is
to see who will get first water, and if you
do, you will get the credit for putting out
the fire.
After getting water be sure and satu-
rate the sidewalk and iron fence, as they
may be valuable. Then proceed to the
front parlor and play the stream on the
grand piano for about five minutes. Take
IN ax and break the furniture up SO it
will not spread the blaze. Then proceed
to the bed rooms up stairs, and throw the
baby out of the window, after which
carefully lower the cat wrapped in
the feather bed to the sympathizing
crowd below. Throw the crock
cry out of the window and appoint
a committee to carry the coal buckets and
mattresses down stairs. Be sure and put
out the fire in the kitchen stove, anyway,
for fear the cook might have lett some
biscuits in the oven which might burn
When you at last get tired and think
you have done as much damage as posssi
bic, go down in the cellar and hunt up a
bottle with a yellow label and stop the
burning sensation. Alter which go down
town and tell how you %extinguished the
blaze, and leave the foreman and tn. JAM
tor (if he amt like Stokes to reel up the
hose.
Then look for your name in the paper
the next morning.

Chicago, Sept. 2s.--A secret session Of
the coal exchange was held yesterday.
.sThe meeting was called, +" said o pro-
mlnent shipper "for the purpose of con-
sidering the financial situation, with an
especial view to its bearing upon the
plans of the eastern combination"
None, or at most not more than two OF
three, of the local concerns handling an
thracIte have any connection with the
New York association, except as agents
OF the members OF that body. The great
bulk of hard coal in Chicago is held by
agents, who control it only as directed
by the English mine owners. During
the nesting it was suggested that sever
al members of the exchange go east for
the purpose of acquainting the opera
tors there as t%hroughly as possible with
the situation here, and to advise with
them as to the means to be employed to
reach the ends sought by the combina-
tion. 1t was generally denied that the
delegates to the east were sent by the
