''That thing would be no good to u.s." said
T. G. Edwards, gazing dsapprovingIy at a
cut of how they manage the thing in
Gotham. sit is all very pretty in pic
ture, but when you go to fighting fire the
best way to do it resolves itself into q
question of time.
NOW, look at those iron stands. They
would have to be very heavy to support
the weight and friction of the hose filled
with water. How could they be always on
the spot when a fire broke out? The fire
apparatus weighs too much as it is, for the
engines have all the machinery that a
steamship has, crowded into small space.
Another thing that would have to De
considered is height-the stands would
have to rise up at least twelve feet for the
cable-cars to pass under them, and the
New York system seems to be arranged
only for cable-cars; it would be usele ss for
the trolley system. The fact is that the
day Of the cable-cars is over, except for
steep hills" Another objection that Com
missioner Edwards found with the iron
stands was that when more hose had to be
hauled in they would probably topple over
entirely and seriously interfere with the
work Of the firemen.

sembling the New York system had been

Desperate Attempt to Break Up a

VIENNA, Oct. 1S.-Ten thousand social

Landstrasse section of the city. The place
was not large enough to hold the vast
crowd and hundreds we're turned away.

lice made a desperate effort to dsDerse
the crowd, but failed, and the procession

with swords.
AS the police were charging one of the
horses fell and number of other horses
