Irritating.

Illustrated News of a whist player being
told by an opponent that he could al
ways tell by his face when he had a
good hand. This he resented exceeding
ly and applied to his partner for refu-
tation of it, but he was only still more
irritated by his form of confederation
that he had never noticed any express
sion in his countenance whatever.

Morning

morning.
This morning at 7:l5 an alarm of
fire from box 81 summoned compa-
MES l and 2 to Pip Fifth avenue, in
the rear of which blaze had been
discovered. The department, as
usual, responded promptly. and soon
had the flames under control, but not
before some damage had been threat
ened to neighboring dwellings. The
house, which is owned by Mrs. Sarah
James. was occupied by Richard
Meincke. and is history frame.
The blaze started, it is thought, from
spark from the chimney in the rear
OF the house. The loss will reach in
the neighborhood of $50.
Yesterday Afternoons Alarm.
Yesterday afternoon at 4:30 an
alarm of fire was turned ia from box
S3-in Market square. All three
companies responded in remarkably
quick time. and found that the blaze
originated in the American Blade
Office. over e17 East Seventeenth
street. 1t was, however, unnece ssa-
nv to throw any. water, as the fire had
been smothered with coat. A bow
employed in the press room was en-
gagged in cleaning the gasoline en-
CINE which furnishes the motive
power of the press. with a rag.
which, it is believed, was soaked
with benzine. The result was that
the rag caught fire and the boy
dropped it and ran to the fire alarm
box. In the meantime the blaze was
extinguished.

ANOTHER COMPLAINT.
Poor Children Unable to Obtain Books mt
the south Brooklyn school.

the South brooklyn ScnOOls
There is more trouble in the South
Brooklyn school. This time the vail
comes from the parents of some of the
children who are not able to buy books and
who claim that the committee have turned
n deaf ear TO every appeal made to them for
the necessary school supplies for their
children resident of the district called
ut the Office of DR. O'Hara last night and in
presence of n reporter of the DEMOCRAT
pleaded on behalf of himself and other
residents of the South Brooklyn school
district that some steps be taken to furnish
the children of the poor families attending
that school with Il few books He said his
children and also those of others, whom
the dull season of 1898 had left penniless,
have been without the necessary supplies
since the school has been opened.
He had called on every member
of the town school board and each one re-
fcrred him to the South Brooklyn school
committee. The chairman of this com
mittee says that there is no fund on hand
and he is unable to do anything towards
furnishing free school supplies.
Judge Cowell. when asked about the
matter last night said: The district is
very poor. The seats in the school have
not been pad for yet, and | don't know
what can be done about the matter, but
do think that if the chairman of the school
committee would buy some books for the
use of the children of the poor of the dis
trct the bill would be paid after proper
explanations
Superintendent Crosby was asked whose
duty it was to see TO this matter. Mr.
Crosby said that either the school COM
mittee or the selcctmen We're obliged to
furnish the books.
On inquiry at the selectmens Office it
WAS learned that the selectmen had never
issued an order for school supplies, except
one amounting to about So. and this for
children who were stopping Mt the aims
house.
John Henderson told the reporter last
night that the case was not as bad as
stated He said most of the trouble was
caused 10y a few residents who had moved
down there recently and We're surprised to
learn that they could not find school sup
plies for their children as readily as they
had been accustomed to get them when
their children attended the schools of the
center school district.
But surely there must be some one
whose business it is to look after these
things, and no matter what might be
lacking in a public school the matter of
sufficient books and other necessary school
supplies for the children should not be
overlooked.
