company were willing to put their wires
underground. but no danger could come
from them in their present position. Mr..
Morrison, of the City Fire Alarm service,
had no doubt at all of the practcability of
underground conduits for fire alarm pur-
poses. He thought either the dorsal con-
duit or cable system would be success
full. He had known underground
telephone wires to work well, the distance
being two miles; thinks wires for tele-
phone should be placed at least three feet
from arc light wires and earth pounded
firmly between, then induction would be al
most impossible. He was satisfied that
underground conduts would not be an ex
pertinent here. because they had proven
successful elsewhere The committee adj

Mayor Ames was interviewed last even

reference to the changes in the police de-
partment likely to follow the retirement of
Col. Chase. and answered.:
You can say that there is to be no general
shaking uo of the police department ana that
what discharges are made will be for Gu use
only Now that the election excitement has
passed away am enabled to give more time
and thought to municipal affairs. and some
changes in what certain papers have seen 6t
TO call my policy" may result. There is no
ground whatever for the supposition that
there is to be reorganization of the police
department. have refused to furnish certain
papers with info N ation as TO what my prob
al lie actions will be as executive of the city
have done this simply for the reason that
they have continually misrepresented and
maligned me. and il appears that they have
drawn upon their imaginations in outlining a
course for me to follow. Yes, Leut.-Co Hill
will be promoted to colonel and Maj .Landberg
TO heuteuaut-coiouel. Who will be ap-
pointed major? 1 don't know. The
next in line? Not necessarily. 1 have
selected my staff officers with an eye to having
them act in an advisory way, in police
capacity. or as my representatives in case or

APPOINTMENT to the staff as being exactly in
the line of promotion. l expect to make the

THE CATHOLIC FAIR.
Notes From Harmonic Hall. Where
Lis BEING Held.

1t Is Being HELD
Last evening. the second evening of the
fair of St. Stephens church, at Harmonic
hall, the attendance was large notwith-
standing the cold wind, which swept down
the streets outside and caused person to
think twice before venturing out. During
the evening the band dlscoursed sweet
music. and no one heard the storm outside.
At the table presided over by Mrs.
IT. J. Mccarthy, Mrs. A. P. McCarr0n and
Mrs. Healev. a large crowd was present,
listening to the witty saying of the ladies
and inspecting the beautiful goods. The
center piece was handsome picture of Rev.
Father Kenny. A large hanging lamp was
suspended directly above. at this table IS
the gold watch which Miss McDOnough and
Miss Lotus are cOntesting for. At this
early season it is impossible to tell
which lady will lead in the race, as
both are exceedingly popular and
have many friends. In a conspicuous
place is the gOld-headed cane to be voted to
the most popular young man. Among the
gentlemen who are contrasting for it are j.
B. Quinn, Chris A. Gallagher, Timothy
Bvrnes. J. r. COrTigan, John BYrneS, Will
lam Kinney. E. A. Campbell and j. j. Nc
Hale The young ladies present last even
ing had ali thew could do to entertain the
large number of young men who dropped
in during the evening. and reinfOrcementS
are expected this evening. The attraction
for tonight is the presentation of the
drama, ''Solan Shingle," by the Crusaders
of st. Anthony parish. There is a great
deal OF talent in the company, and pleas
ant evening is expected. Some Of the
LADIES' presiding over the tables are provid-
ing refreshments for hungry and thirsty
reporters, which is by no means lost upon
the minds of those unfortunate beings.
