In 1891 the population of the city of
Liverpool was 5iT,O5 and covered $500
acres Its buildings arc all of stone
and brick. Five steam fire engines
were in use ana eight hand engines,
and there were &51 men on the regular
force. Five hundred and scvcnty-cight
fires occurred in 1890, IS of them from
lighted candles, 81 from lights thrown
down, 80 from children playing with
matches. SO frcm smoking tobacco. %
from children playing with fire and 80
from sparks from fire. Fireman in
Liverpool have the title of constable"
and have certain police authority
The great city of London had. ac-
cording to the Chicago Herald, within
its corporate limits in 1891 1921 ,i3l per-
sons, and about 100000 in territory
immediately contiguous; 55T,l3 is
given as the number of brick and stone
buildings in 1891, and the city has no
wooden blu ildings. Tho number of
fire alarms gwen in 1891 was
4,lGi, of which 1929 were false
alarms, 2t3 CHI imney alarms and
1852 actual fires; 1000 of these fires
were confined to the floors where they
originated, and ISL extended beyond
such floors; only fires extended to adj
joining property, and only 3 extended
beyond adjoining property. The Lon
don fire department consists of a. land
steam fire engines, 05 land manual fire
engines, 0 steam fire engines on bargcs,
steam. tugs, 105 hose carts, 80 miles of
hose, with ladders, trucks, fire escapes
and an abundance of alarms, tcle-
graphs, telephones, etc, to render the
service OF its FOG fircmcn very efficient.
Nineteen million gallons of watcrwcre
used during the year at fires, onc-thirI
of which was taken from the river,
canals and docks. The causes OF the
fires are curious: Fifty-ninc came from
airing linen, 100 from candles. 50 from
children playing with fire and G2 from
their playing with matches; 81 were
caused by swinging gas brackets, 90
from escaping gas, 81 from curtains or
blinds coming in contact with lights;
l04 originated from hot ashes, 800 from
spirit lamps (2O6 of them being from
upsetting such lamps); 100 came from
sparks of fire and IS from improperly
set stoves

NEW CONSTITUTION.
Christian EndeavOr Societies to
lake Changes

A special meeting of the executive CON-
mittee of the Golden Gate Union OF Young
Peoples Societies OF Christian Endeavor
was held last evening in the B. u. c. S.
building, the president of the union, DR..
r. l.. RigdOn in the chair. The special
business for which the meeting was called
was the consideration of amendments to
the constitution for presentation to the
union at its next quarterly convention CT
the first Thursday evening in November
The progress of the union since the adOp-
ton of the original constitution a mum Der
of years ago has been one OF such remark
able growth, it now embracing nearly fifty
societies, that some changes seemed tn bs
imDerativsly demanded. and the result of
last evenings work was the adoption of
what is virtually almost quite a new in
strument. This. IL is believed, will render
the union more efficient, and will enable it
to enter with greater freedom of action,
along with other unions of the State, into
the work of preparing for the information al
Christian Endeavor convention TO be held
in San Francisco in 1895.
The changes and additions are all of i'm
portauce to the Endeavorers themselves,
but hardly any of them are of much inter-
est TO the general public, except that affect
ing the name, which was changed by sub
stituting for the old and cumbersome one
that simply of Golden Gate Christian
Endeavor Union"
The mem bers of the committee con-
graduated each other heartily on having
completed their work in a single evening.
and adjourned AT a seaSonable hour with
singing California in Ninety-fve."

Beautiful San Mateo was made more
beautiful by scores of bright and happy
faces yesterday. The anniversary Of st.
Matthew. the patron saint of the town,
was made the occasion Of a delightful
parish festival by the resident Episcopa-
lians, to which all were invited, and many
who were not members of the celebrating
church joined the thrGng. which gathered
at the rectory and i'll TIE adjacent grounds,
at any early hour.
The exercises of the day were begun by
the celebration of the holy communion at
10 O'Clock in the beautiful UNCOVERED
Church of st. Matthew, which, with its
charmingly laid out and carefully tended
grounds, is one of the show laces'' of the
town.
The church, which is a Gothic struc-
ture severely simple in design. though rich
in interior decoration, was founded by the
late William Howard twenty-nine years
ago. Mr.. Howard gave to the diocese four
acres of ground almost in the heart of San

THEY ARE FRAUDS.
Unauthorized Collectors of
Fair Funds.
The Public Can Detect the Impostors
by Their Receipt Forms-Teach-
ers Will Contribute.

A fraudulent collector of Midwinter Fair
funds has been swindling both citizens
and the exposition, con timing his opera
tions to clergymen. Evidence was re-
ceived yesterday of the operations or this
individual, and the financial managers are
lying in ambush with stuffed club
The matter was developed by the request
of Rev. James Woodward, who called at
the headquarters yesterday 10 ascertain
the form of the authorized receipts. He
stated that Rev. DIR. McClsh of Grace
NJ. e. Church had been approached by a
man who represented himself as collector
for the finance committee. DR.. McClish
gave the man So, which never reached the
treasury. The same impostor is believed
to have played the same game upon Rev.
Robert Mackenzie OF the First Presby-
terrain Church, ana Rev. j. Cumming
Smith, pastor of Trinity Church in the Mis-
sion, each of these ministers being
swindled out OF So.
As warning to the public, the fair
management has issued the following de-
scriutlon of the receipt and collection
books with which all genuine collectors
are provided:
blank book. about four by six inches In
size. with stiff yellow cover. On
