The county commissioners have
appropriated $50 towards an electric
hre alarm. AS the bell on the Town
Hall is wholly inadequate, it is pro-
posed to use the Court house bell as a
fire alarm. This action was taken on
the ground that the town pays large
sum for fire protection, and as the
county would get the benefit of this in
case of fire in any of its property, it
ought to bear a part of the expense
A vote was taken by the commission
ers and county auditors on the ques-
ton, and all voted for it except one of
the auditors. w. II. Gilmore, for the
past twenty-fve-year the most active
man in town in all matters pertaining
to the fire department, was the chief
mover in the matter.

Work Pushed, but Opening on the
Fourth Is Doubtful.
A large force of men are at work on
the street railway line to Como park.
The rails have all been laid with the
exception of half block on the loop
which runs around Churchill and Lex
ington avenue at the entrance OF the
park. 1t was the intention Of the COM
pany to run over the Western avenue
bridge and along Atwater street to
Como avenue instead of crossing the
Como avenue bridge. This plan was
decided on owing to the doubt as 10 the
Como avenue bridge being able TO stand
the strain of the travel. For some rea-
son the company has changed its
plans in this particular, and yeSter-
day large force of men were put
to work placing switches at both ends
of the Como avenue bridge, and the cars
Will be run across the bridge on a single
track. The poles are up along the entire
line, and yesterday the overhead wiring
had been done DIS far out as Front street
and Como avenue. 1t was expected to
have cars operated over the line on July
+, but it is question now If the line
can be ready by that time. Supt. Hos
kins said last night he thought the Work
couldanot be completed in time for the
Fourth unless the men worked night
and day, and it was doubtful if 1t conld
be done with even double force. If
the line were not ready on Tuesday 1t
would certainly not be more than day
or so later before the cars WOu'd be
running.

played by st. Paul's eminent pianist,
Mrs. Hermann Scheffer, and List Polo

Strong's Interpretation of LISTS G

VACATIONS WITHOUT PAY,
The Scheme to Reduce Fire De
partment Expenses.

The Scheme to Reduce Fire De-
partment Expenses.
A regular meeting of the board of fire
commissioners will be held Monday
evening. At tbs session the committee
appointed from the jobbers' union will
be present to meet the captains from
the several engine houses. The idea is
to have a conference with the men re-
garding the reduction in salaries. The
latest scheme for keeping within the
amount available for the department is
to have the employees of the department
each take vacations of sufficient leHgth
without pay to make up a months
salary. The saving of the pay roll for
one month, it is claimed, will be suf-
ficient to make up the shortage. While
none of the members of the department
are anxious 10 take vacations without
pay, they are of the opinion that this
plan would be preferable to having the
salaries reduced, for the reason if the
pay were once reduced it would be al
most impossible to have it put back
again to the present schedule.

The agents sometimes seize opium,

cases of differentiation. The office
here is also charged with the duties OF
looking out for violations of the alien
contract law and to restrict immigra-
ton under the Chinese exclusion acts.
There is no great activity in the Chi
nese matter at present except to deport
Chinese who unlawfully entered under
the old law. Operations under the
GearY act are in allegiance until funds
are available or until the attorney gen
eral gives further Instructions. 1t is
possible that little will be- done under
this late law until there is an amend

made. A number Of cases arise in the
district for enforcing the alien contract
law, and considerable number of
foreigners are turned back from the
border for attempted violation Of that
law.
