New York Gets in Line.

New YORK, March 6.--The board of
police to-day adopted the Herzog tele-
same system as means of intercommu-
nicatiOn between the police stations and
the patrolmen on duty. Mr.. Herzog is
authorized to erect his system at 400
points, the whole not to exceed 500, 900
in cost. This system records automatic
ally all messages in the police station
and vice versa to p0st-boxeS. The prin-
cipal other bidder was the Gamewell
system, which is now used with excel
lent results i'll Chicago, and which cost
that city about 81 600, 900. The introduce
ton of the police signal stations into
this city will necessitate the patrol
wagon, which is freely made use of in
all of the large cities in the country but
New York.

THE LATE LOUIS e. FISHER.
A Word About Him From an Old
Acquaintance and Brother Jour-


Acquaintance and Brother Jour-
nalist.
To the Editor of the Globe.
| observe that the papers have fallen
into two errors in their obituary notices
of Mr.. Fisher, which desire to correct
as matter of history. He was born in
1921, and not 1922, and was therefore
siXty-seyen years old. He came to ST.
Paul in 1854, and not 1852 or 1858, the
writer reaching st. Paul the latter
year. Mr.. Fisher in letter to me
dated Dec, $, 1885, expressed desire
that if l outlived him, would see that
the facts Uf his life were correctly given
to the public. While he had been a re-
porter, foreman, etc, yet his editorial
career commenced in 1861 on the Pho
neer. In the letter above alluded to, he
says:
Il may say that l feel particular pride
in reaching the post of editor-in-chief,
for it was during that period that we
pushed the defalcation in state treasury
and many other things. Also, that dur
ing that time the Democracy came
within few hundred of electing Ii. NJ.
Rice and George l.. OtiS,/ while since
they have been buried under 10000 Re-
publican majority. Sorry to trouble
you at all, but as your book will be re-
ferred TO for many years after have
passed away, it seems necessary. Sin
cerely yours, l.. Z. FISHER"
| Fischer's request, knowing the facts to
be as stated, he having himself cor
rected the proof of the article. In his
short. pithy productions Mr.. Fisher eX-
hiblted ability and incisive points and a
good deal of wit, coupled with sarcasm,
and had uncommon good judgment in
selecting from other papers. AT one
time his lame was very favOrably
spoken of for Democratic candidate for
governor. He was a fair-sized and TO
buSt-loOking man, moderate and digni-
! fed in his movements, full of good
humOr modest and retiring, cautious in
his nature, studious and correct in his
habits, quiet and industrious in his
everyday life and an excellent citizen,
and ought to have been a rich man, and
yet we all know that he made the world
better for having been i'll it. | knew
him thirty-fOur years. and during that
period he led a quiet, peaceful, steady,
| industrious, moral life. Earle s. Good

the only three left of the old, old city

ACTION BY THE PRESS CLUB.
ln response is call issued by Vice
President Bartram, the st. Paul Press
club met at the Ryan hotel yesterday
afternoon to take appropriate action on

dent of the club. A committee OF five
was appointed to confer with the family
and make such arrangements for at
tending the funeral as may be agree
able to the family, and to draw up a
suitable memorial. The committee con-

drew bclIeVcS IN interpreting
Law for the Good OF the State.
Some time ago the attorney of Lloyd's
Plate Glass Insurance Company of New
York appeared before Insurance Com
missioner ShandreW and argued
against the issuing of a certificate to
the Fidelity and Casualty company, of
the same city. He claimed that, under
the reciprocal law, the company could
not transact more than one kind of in
surance business. The Fidelity and
Casualty company is now doing three
classes of insurance business. After
some consideration Commissioner Shan
drew yesterday issued the Fidelity and
Casualty company the usual certificate.
His reasons are as follows:
81 hold" said he, ''that in any con-
struction of the law the interests of the
state should be considered in connec-
ton Herewith. If those interests are
best served by liberal Interpretation
of the statute | don't think technical
OF literal construction of the same is
called for. 1t is well known and uni
versally conceded that the Fidelity and
Casualty company is a reliable and
honest company; that it is abundantly
able and does pay all honest claims
promptly and in full. To limit it now
after it has been years in establishing
its businesS-t0 one kind would be
against the interests OF the public,
which it now serves by an honest COM;
petition for their patronage"

superintendent of the hotel system in
the Yellowstone Park, was among yes

was seen by the GLOBES representa-

sit depends altogether upon
what congress will do in the
matter of appropriations" said
he, whether Or not projected
improvements in the park can be carried
out. There is now pendinga bill grant
roads and highways Of this great ma
tional demesne, and every cent of that
amount will be necessary for these pur-
poses. Take any of the large cities of
the United States that sustain public
parks and the sum appropri-
ated for their support will
in most instances exceed $500, 900,
while our government for its park gen
erously gives annually about $50, OCO.
This pittance is merely a waste of
money, for nothing Of any importance
can be accomplished with it, and was
reminded forcibly of this policy of par
Simony by remark uttered last sum-
mer by q tourist from Russia, who
visited the Yellowstone park for
the first time. what magnif-
icent eXpanSe Of country this is was
his exclamation: and if we had it on
our side of the water we would take
proper care of it. Your government
evidently does not appreciate its beau
ties at their true value, else better IA
cilities would be provided for the ac-
commodation of Travellers"
One thing that would recommend"
continued Mr. Waters. would be to
fence in the entire park, and the lum-
Der for the purpose could readily be
procured in the park, for there is an
abundant
SUPPLY OF TIMBER,
and a saw mill could be erected at a
comparatively tritiing cost when the
results are taken into consideration.
Among the features that will be intro
duced in the park this year will be the
construction of two new hotels, one at
the lake and the other at the falls, each
capable of accommodating $50 guests.
There has been considerable talk about
the preservation of the game in the
park, and especially the remaining herds
of the buffalo, A year ago there
were upwards of $50 in the drove, but
hunters and others have diminished
their numbers until there are now not
more that seventy-fve left. They have
sought refuge in the southeast corner of
that park, where the grazing is good
and they are protected from the severity
of the weather. 1t is useless to talk
about protecting game when soldiers,
probably fifty in all. are stationed in the
vicinity of the park, and one scout is
paid by the government to patrol piece
OF country fifty miles in length and
