When Moore Sang,

In singing his own songs Moore altered
the arrangement of the airs, and sang the
first part of each verse twice over at the
beginning instead Of as a refrain at the
end. In that glorious song of his, "Oh, the
Light Entrancing' Moore's own singing
of it was matchless treat. With head
appraised, he seemed almost to revel in the
fresh morning light as he gazed on the
sight enhancing" and his eye sparkled
as files arrayed with helm and blade"
seemed to pass before him, while deeper
feeling awoke as the passion of the song
came upon him.
His voice-one Of infinite meditation,
but of small compass-rose clear and thrill
ing to its highest pitch as he sang:
Go ask yon despot whether
His armed bands could bring such hands
And hearts as ours together.
His song was an inspired recitative, and
he seemed to improvise as he ran his fin
gers over the notes, and as the tide OF
thought came over him it was poured
forth in harmonious cadences of exquisite
variety. Had he been tied to chair, with
the added doom of prosy companion, he
would have exploded and gone off like a
rocket or bottle of sparkling champagne.

bow Gold Coin Loses Its Weight.

The loss which gold coin suffers in
circulation was illustrated in the GUS
tom house yesterday. George W. Shell
don d Co. sent $4,000 in gold coin to
pay duties on imports, and the amount
was counted and sent over to the sub
treasury. A little while later the sub
treasury sent it back with notice that
the amount was 1895 short. On in
vestigation it was found that though the
face value of the coin was $l5, 900 by
weight the gold lacked nearly So 900 of
that value. The paying bank was mott
he'd and sent a gold certificate for the
balance.-Chicago Tribune.

EoNDoN'S FIRE FIGHTERS.
The Parish Engine System That Gave Wa,
to Present Methods.

The Parish Engine System That Gave Way
to Present Methods.
The average pay of the British fireman
is about $50 per month, lodgings free, while
his American brother gets $50 per month,
bunk free.
By the English system, when chiefs
position becomes vacant, the fire commit
tee advertises for applicants and then re-
views the many candidates qualifications.
With the antiquity of London in mind,
how puzzling it sounds to be told that
there have been only three fire chiefs in the
history of that great town, and yet such
is the fact The lamented James Braid
wood was the first, the renowned Captain
Shaw the second, and J. Sexton Simonds
is the present. Captain Eyre NJ. Shaw,
X. G.. B., shares the honor with Chief ID.
J. Swenie of Chicago of being the most
universally known fire chief of the world.
One hundred years ago the only fire pro-
lection in London was the parish en-
gine' in charge of the beadle, made ia
nous by Dickens in his "Sketches by
Boz" In the last century parliament en-
acted that each parish might keep two en-
gines-one large one and one small. The
large one was or inch pump, the
small one a S or inch pump. And how
these parish authorities appreciated their
charge eau be imagined when the records
show that in one case the widow of SUI
perannuated pew opener was duly appoint
ed "engine keeper, and another old rec
ord reveals that some street improvements
were being carried out whereby wall
was erected in front of the engine house
door, effectively building up the same,
and these fire authorities knew nothing
about it until one day the engine was
wanted and found entombed. Soon after
this came the establishment of fire insur-
ance companies, and these provided one or
more engines of their own and employed
men to act as firemen. The larger insur-
ance offices employed 80 Thames water
men, but discomfort soon grew out of this
state of affairs, as the divided authority
over the firemen at fires resulted in pande-
monium.
So in 1888 number of insurance COM
panes joined together and formed the first
London fire engine establishment and
employed permanent body of tiremen.
1t was then that London received her first
fire chief, James Braidwood, who for | o
years previously had been the fire chief of
Edinburgh and had been brought into
prominence by his having organized an
occasionally paid system in Scotlands
capital. On June 90, 1861, the largest
warehouse fire ever recorded in England
occurred in Tooley street, on the Surrey
side of London bridge, resulting in loss
of 81 $780, 900.
1t was at this fire that Chief Braidwood
lost his life by the falling of wall.
Braidwood was great fire chief and much
difficulty was encountered in trying to get
a successor, as Braidwood had gained sue.

Congregational Fund for Ministers.

many of them depend on friends for
support, some on public charity, some
suffer in extreme poverty. The average
salary of ministers allows no margin to

most prosperous. Our denomination is
far behind others in providing for worm

llFE'S NIGHT WATCH.

Throughout the night the hot and heavy night,
With soul wide opened, SO that it could see
Across the dark of its own reverie,
We toss from right to wrong, from wrong to
right.
We yearn to hold each moment in our might
Ere from our restessness it restless flee,
And yet would urge it with inpatient plea
To bear us onward to the coming light.
A thousand fancies lowering to and fro
Hasten the hours, and yet the dawn is slow.
At length she comes. Beneath her gentle
breath
Far spreading peace doth lightly overflow
Our lessening expectancy: and SO
We sink TO briefest sleep-and that is death.

Poets and Prophets.

The private secretary was also a poet,
who had been in print few times, and
one day his chief in preparing speech
dictated the lines:
When the sacred name
OF poet and prophet was the same.
Later the chief read it over and found
the lines to read
When the sacred name
CT poet and profit was the same.
He called up the secretary and the poor
fellow had to confess that he had written
it so because he thought his chief was re-
ferring to the millennium.-Det Free

Judge Cowing decides that the public

1t is known that the jurors are anxious
to make complete job of the police

Stevenson may be looked for at any
moment. Their cases, it is said, have
already received some consideration
In the case of ex-Captain Cross, of the
Fifth street station, there is said to be
probability that no action will be
taken. 1t is not unlikely that the jury
has disagreed as to the strength of the
