AMONG THE FIREMEN.



The old association has disposed of its
s2250 Tockwotten street mortgage to the
John Carter Brown estate. The
assets of the association at
the present time are about
$4,000. Should the suggestions of Mayor
Olney In relation to making the depart
pent a permanent one be adopted some
disposition will have to be made OF this
amount.
The headquarters of the department in
the city hall are soon to be adorned with
large frames containing photographs of
the different companies. The suggestion
was made by Clerk John III. Morrow.
1t will be some time before all the men
will be able to send in their "photo's" as
many of them are on the sick list. This
is to be done at the expense of the men,
bers.
The Permanent association voted not to
have ball this year, but the members are
in hopes OF getting large sum from
the merchants and the sale
of new fire alarm
book, as none has leen issued for the
past three years. The old ones are of no
use as there is hardly company in the de-
partment that has not had its ''runs"
changed during the past year and many
new boxes have been added. The matter
is in charge of William III. Salisbury.
When completed the books will be for
sale at the different stations.
The following are the men who are
doing substitute duty at the present time;
q. A. Capron, Gilbert A. Inman, Patrick
Kelly, James Perry, James Edwards and
William Ghirardini.
Nearly every company is short one or
more men on account of the grip and
other sickness.
A number Of members who have been
on probation for the last six months ap-
peared in new uniforms the past week.
Deputy Chief Hill is on duty again.
j. III. Barney has presented the several
companies with handsome 1894 calendar.
Assistant Fireman III. M. Briggs of No.
IL is on the sick list
The condition of the members who have
been reported are as follows: Edward
Curtis OF No. IL, sat up a portion of
yesterday, and Walter A. Vaughn was
able to visit the chiefs Office Saturday
afternoon. John G. Little of No. 13 is
slowly improving; Frank Chester of No.
10 is on duty; Frank Atkinson of Hook
and Ladder No. 2, is improving; George
Simmons of No. 10 was reported sick.
Owing to the large amount OF sickness
in the department the patrol system has
been abandoned temporarily.

the insurgents to surrender. The letter

While credit must be given Mrs. Het-
ty Green for wonderful shrewdness and
business sagacity in building up her
fortune, it must not be forgotten that
she had a good start. When her father
died, he left her 50, 600, 900 to fight the
battle of life with. 1t was more money
in those days than it is now. He was an
old whaler and shipping merchant of
New Bedford named Edward Mott Rob
inson. He married Miss Rowland,
and the full name of Mrs. Hetty Green
is Harriet Rowland Robinson Green.
She was her fathers private secretary
for four or five years before his death,
and in this way she acquired a knowl-
edge of business matters. Old Robinson
was frugal and economical to extremes,
and among the lessons early impressed
upon the daughters mind were econ
omy and simplicity in daily life and
the value and virtue of money.
Before the war began Mrs. Green, at
that time Miss Hetty Robinson, the
heiress, spent several winters in New
York and was almost belle in society.
She had considerable beauty of robust
sort, and her family and fortune were
certainly irreproachable.
She lived for time in boarding
house on West Twenty-second street,
and when she went to parties would
walk from there. 1t is related that
rather than pay cab fare she used to
pull pair of heavy stockings over her
stout shoes and tramp through the snow
to reception or ball, pulling the stock
ings off when she arrived and spreading
them out somewhere to dry.-New
York World.

"Judge Emerson, one of the most elo-

once taken down completely in speech
at Decatur" said E. F. Layman, an at
torney of Chicago. HE had a case in
which there were some peculiarly pa
thetic circumstances, the rights of a
young girl whose property had been
squandered and who was reduced to des-
titution being involved. Judge Emerson
made the most of it, and as he closed his
speech solemn hush had fallen over the
courtroom.
Tears stood in the eyes of the jurors,
and even the judge coughed sympathet-
ically and hid his head behind the trial

have now forgotten, saw that the spell
had to be broken in some way, or his case
was lost. Arising slowly to his feet, and

Mr.. Arthur Warren asked Nine. Pat
ii what had been the proudest expert
ence in her career. For a great and
unexpected honor most gracefully ten
dered, y said Patti, II have experienced
nothing that has touched me deeper
than compliment paid by the Prince
of Wales and distinguished company
at dinner given in honor Of the Duke
of York and the Princess May little
while before their wedding. The din
ner was given by Mr.. Alfred Rcthschild,
one of my oldest and best friends. There
were many royalties present and more
dukes and duchesses than | can easily
remember. During the ceremonies the
Prince of Wales arose and, to my great
establishment, proposed the health of his
"old and valued friend, Nine. Patti.
He made such pretty speech and in
the course of it said that he had first
seen and heard me in Philadelphia In
1860, when / sang in Martha, " and
that since then his own attendance at
what he was good enough to call my
victories in the realm of song" had
been among his most pleasant recollec-
tions. He recalled the fact that his wife
had held up little Prince George, in
whose honor we were this night assem-
bled, and babe him kiss me, 50 that in
after life he might say that he had
kissed the famous Nine. Patti. And
then, do you know, that whole company
of royalty, nobility and men of genius
rose and cheered me and drank my
health. Popular Magazine.

The Different Londons.

The size of London is somewhat in
definite, but may be said to cover about
a square mile. The postal district covers
an area of $50 square miles. The police
district extends still farther, covering
an area of 697 square miles. On the
other hand, the parliamentary London
is much narrower. 1t consists of 10 Dor
oughs, of which the city of London, al
though the Misunderstanding 50,562 in
habitants in 1881-is represented by four
members on account of its commercial
and financial importance, while each of
the other nine, although larger, is repre-
sented only by two; Westminster, $780,
Alb; Chelsea, 25s,011; Marylebone, 477,-
500; Hackney, 1862, 427; Finsbury, 49,
816; Tower Hamlets, 391 sos; Lambeth,
$40. 112; Southwark, 207, 1886; Greenwich,
167, 632.
Put together, these 10 boroughs repre-
sent only population of about 5000, 600,
and the remainder of the inhabitants Of
the city belong to nonmetropolitan cleo
toral districts. Generally, however, the
size of the city is determined by the area
under the operation of the metropolis
local government act, which is also
adopted by the registrar general of the
census. According to the definition, Lon
don covers an area of 122 square miles,
forming parts of the counties of Middle
sex, Surrey and Kent.-Baltimore Amer

A Simple Fire Escape.

A simple, easily procured, inexpen-
sive and practical means of escape from
upper stories may be found in stout
duck sack and strong MANILA rope.
The sack should be deep and wide
enough to hold several persons and have
a rope well bound around the top to
which the rope bail is attached. If no
appliance be provided to hold stout
sail across the window on the inside,
then several wraps must be taken around
some article of furniture, wife and
children dumped into the sack, the hus-
band paying out the rope and letting
them down. The sack is then drawn
up, when the remaining occupant goes
into the sack with the slack end of the
rope, and paying it out let's himself
down. Rope and sack will pass unhurt
past considerable sheets of fame from
windows below, and if occasionally
treated to strong solution of alum wa
ter, or even strong brine, are of difficult
ignition. The deep sack dispels the feel
ing of fear in not beholding the dizzy
height and also protects from flame in
passing windows. Every-window should
have strong staples into which rail
can be inserted and which should be
ever ready if needed. A cool head could
thus let down, in many cases, numerous
loads, and for that matter there may be
rope enough to allow all the paying out
and pulling up to be done by some one
on the ground. Private instructions
should be in every room, and each oc-
cupant should be made familiar with
the working Pittsburg Dispatch.

Since the days of William Kidd, the
talented but unfortunate buccaneer of
the Spanish main, there has been halo
of romance over the head of sea cooks.
Not one, however, is himself a more
unique specimen than the cook of the
British ship John Cooke. The vessel is
now lying at the Santa Fe wharf after
long and dangerous voyage from Cardiff.
The cook is a full blooded Apache In
dian, born in the White mountains Of
Arizona. His people, the terrible White
mountain and Tonic Apaches, have caus-
ed no end of trouble to the troops and
settlers in Arizona. This man was nam
ed Tumashancy Silver River and was
taken when still child to Mexico, where
he was raised. He has followed the sea
for the greater part Of his life and has
visited every part Of the globe, learning
several languages, including English, and
becoming some years ago member of
the Masonic fraternity.
In civilization he is known as John
Levin. He is quite dark, with the Indi-
an physiognomy, and although go years
of age appears hardly in middle life. He
has Mexican wife and family living on
the peninsula of Lower California and
says that this is his last voyage. He was
picked up in Liverpool by Captain Lila
of the John Cooke. Levin, or Silver
River, is an intelligent fellow and good
sea cook and does not seem to be half as
bloodthirsty as many other cooks with a
far different pedigree.-San Diego (Cal.)
