dead, he was pulled through the win

man has been SO extraordinary that it
has given ground for jealousy in the
department and firemen have been
heard to complain that when lives
were to be saved Murphy gave no one
else chance, but always insisted on
being first in the burning building.
He is an American by birth, and he
went on the force in 1875. In 1876 he
was appointed lieutenant and in 1880
captain. Chief Swenie promoted him
to an assistant marshalship in Septem-
Der, 1885, giving him command of the
Fifth battalion. Later he was trans
ferred first to the Twelfth battalion
and then to the Fourteenth. 1t was
on account of his energy and fearless
ness of danger-a valuable quality in
place built as the exposition is built
that he was given charge of the fair
department when Chief Swenie took it
out of the hands of Mr.. Burnham.
His career in Jackson park has been

The Chicago fire department, whose
history furnishes many instances Of
level, thoughtful courage, has no MEM
Der more widely known than Chief of
Battalion Edward w. Murphy. In a
department conspicuous for individual
courage Murphy is noted for his
splendid heroism. He is said to have
saved more people from death by fire
than any other man in America. He
has been mentioned honorably for
feats OF daring in eight general orders
written by man who is seldom lavish
of praise-the present chief of the Chi
cago fire department. He was the first
winner of the Lambert Tree medal.
which is given every year as reward
for the most conspicuously courageous
feat undertaken by Chicago fireman.
Except for the rule that prevents a
man from taking the medal twice he

ONLY AN EVERYDAY SCENE.
Human Nature as Seen Around the Old
City Hall Fountain.

The big fountain in the City Hall
park was dry-not quite SO dry as her
ring. for there were damp patches here
and there on the cement floor of the
basin, but still it was dry. This was at
half-past eight o'clock in the morning
of a hot day recently. At twenty-five
minutes Of nine the water was turned
on and then the fun began.
1t is an open question whether the
boys or the sparrows first discovered
that the water had been turncd on. and
it is also matter of doubt as TO which
class of gamins-the featbered or un-
feathered ones-enioved il most. Ger

after the water had begun 20 drip from
the upper to the lower basin in thin,

boys and the sparrows were there bY
dozens and scores. The sparrows pre-
empted the upper basin. They perehed
on the edge and chatted and chirped,
and put their little brown heads on
one side in the most impudeut way
imaginable. Then, one after another,
they huttered into the cool. bright
water and tossed up little showers Of
diamonds as they washed the city dust

William Cramp, tho founder of the
firm, commenced business in modest
way in 1880, building wooden and
steam sailing vessels. Two sons,
Charles II. and William NJ. Cramp, were
admitted into partnership in 1857, and
In 1868 three younger Cramps became
members of the firm. Charles II. Cramp
stands at the head of the firm as at
present organized. He looks after the
social interests of the firm-a very i'm
portant department when it is consid-
cred that the concern has constantly

the government involving many mil
lions of dollars. MIR. Cramp has trav-
eled extensively in foreign lands and
has large circle of friends, with
whom he is very popular. He dresses
IN conventional business style and
usually wears high hat.

The barrel is one of those peculiar
rock formations and is about 200 feet
