GRINDING OUT NINBLE FIRE LADIES.


CANDIDATES PUT THROUGH PHYSICAL EXAMINA-
TIoN IN WOODS GYMNAsIUM
To be a thoroughly equipped fireman a man should
be able TO climb like monkey, run like deer and
pull like elephant, and Civil Service rules require
In addition that he should know something about the
three RS and be familiar with the lay of the streets
of the city. There are vacancies for forty such men
In the Fire Department, and sixtytwo men have ap-
piled for the positions That the number OF applicants
is not greater IS due to pretty general appreciation
of the fact that taking consideration with

impartlality requires that a candidate shall not be

lasted four hours. The men had to lift heavy dumb

GOOD WEEK FOR GOSSIP.
Another appointment made last week, that has
occasioned almost as much comment Is that OF
Colonel Emmanuel B. Hart who has been chosen
acting discussing agent Of the Custom House
to the surprise Of almost every one connected with
the service or having any dealings with it. The
position is worth SO, 800 year and requires above
all things an unusually active and energetic man.
No one could be found yesterday who knew Colonei
Harris exact re but all his acqualntances tnat
were seen declared that he was at least seventy
five years old.
