A VOLUNTEER FIREMAN.

The fremen were saved some trouble
at the fierce but brief fire at Nathans
pocketbook factory on Broome street
yesterday afternoon.
The flames spread rapidly after the
first alarm, and their extreme heat drove
on the men. But just as the fire seemed
to be getting beyond control 1t was
subdued by a novel volunteer brigade.
On the roof OF the building a big
water tank had been built for the use
of the tenants and the factory. The
supports OF this immense cistern soon
burned away and the tank upsettins
poured It's flood right into the midst
of the FIRE, reaching Its root at once
and speedily extingulshing the big
blaze. The brave firemen, who were
doing their best to approach the build
ing with the hose. found their work
very effectually done for them.
1t is not certain that big water tanks
will In future be kept at the top of
buildings for utilization in case Of fire.
But some genius suggests that by a
system of high pressure fire hydrants
could be supplied on the roofs OF big
blocks OF houses and stores. so that
at nre in the block the firemen could
fiock to the tops OF the buildings with
short lengths OF hose and play away on
the flames from the roof hydrants. saving
the time and labor OF dragging up large
lengths OF hose.
At all events the Broome street tank
proved itself an efficient fireman yester-

THE RELIEF FUND SCANDALS.

There Is hardly a greater scandal in the
city than the alleged misuse OF the one
million dollar Relief Fund by the Park
Commission.
The people gave one million dollars to
relieve the sufferings of the deserving
poor OF the city during last Winter by
supplying work to those willing to labor
so as to save their families from starva-
ton. In order to furnish the readiest
work. and at the same time to make It
useful to the city, II was determined to
put 1t into the hands of the Park Com
missioners. who could at once use 1t for
such repairs and improvements on the
parks as would be OF public advantage.
even though not absolutely necessary.
Instead OF applying the money to this
purpose and giving immediate work to
the suffering poor. the Commissioners
issued labor tickets and gave them to
their political friends and leaders for
distribution among their heelers. In
stead of hiring honest labor. they de-
voted a portion Of the money to pur-
chases of material from their favored
friends and to the benefit of a few pet
contractors. The Commissioners also
sought to apply the fund to add to their
regular appropriation for ordinary re-
pairs and other work made by the
Board OF Apportionment. and thus by
indirection to violate the law.
These charges have been openly made.
They have never been met. Nor has
any report been offered to the people of
the uses to which the Relief Fund has
been put.
This Is outrageous. and It Is scandal
quite as glazing as any from which the
city IL now suffering.

The bon ton ladies of England have a

that going to bed with troubled thoughts
Is almost certain to antagonize rest.
Mothers who are truly kind to their lit

horrible or exciting stories in the nurs-
cry. Bedtime stories should be vague,
caressing, fragile things. This theory
is carried out in later life by gentle
people, who read poem, one of the i'm
