To Guard Against Fourth of July Fires

10 Guard Against Fourth Of July Fires.
Acting Chief Clark was hard at work
yesterday making arrangements for the
Fourth of July. To guard against loss OF
time in giving the alarm to the apparatus
in the parade. he ordered a horseman 10
be on guard at the entrance to house No.
to carry the location 10 the men in the
parade in case of alarm. To guard
against delay in having hose at a fire. he
has equipped reserve wagon and put u
temporarily in service at house No. =. AT
headquarters the Old Watrous truck. con-
corning which many columns have been
written, has been rugged with seven lad
ders made by the firemen themselves and
put in service. The firemen at headQuar-
ters made up collection amounting to so

Requested by Gov. McGraw to Turn
Out No Orders Issued.

The state militia viii be in line today in
the parade, under command OF the old off,
GERS. Gov. McGraw having made a request
TO that effect. For a while yesterday there
was feeling that some difficulty would
result from the fact that The new militia
law. now In effect. had stripped all the off,
GERS of their authority. There is nobody
left but corporals and privates. and II any
one should choose 10 disobey orders he
would he perfectly free 70 do so.
Miiitiamen had looked for appointments
OF officers before the Fourth. In order TO
avoid any possible misunderstanding. but
they have not been made. Accordingly no
order has been issued. because there are
no officers and consequently no one with
authority TO issue order. To supply
that defect Gov. McGraw has requested
the militia TO turn out. The action, how
ever. will not be compulsory. but purely
voluntary.
Gen. Carr last evening said he had no
doubt that all the militia would be in line
today.

ABOUT THE CHARTER.
Many Men Of Many Minds Give Their
 Opinion Of the Matter Up to Date.

Many Men Of Many Minds Give Their
 Opinion Of the Matter Up to Date.
 The court of common council will meet Monday night, when it is probable that what little there is left of the proposed new charter will be submitted for ap- proval. It seems to be the opinion cf all, with the exception of a few men who want a new charter no matter what kind of document it should be, that the most prudent course to pursue. is to present a city charter to the legislature, and ask that the matter be continued until the next session of the general assembly.
 General Kellogg said to-day that a charter submitted and approved at this late hour would be imperfect and would not be likely to meet the requirements of the people, for the reason that there is not sufficient time to consider it.
 Attorney O'NeilI suggests that if a new charter is to be drafted it be arranged so as to have the mayor make nom- nations for all appointivs offices subject to the approval of the board of aldermen He would also recommend that the wards be divided so that one mans vote would count for as much as another's. He be- lieved that the population of the wards should be a7certlined as accurately as possible and then divide them of so that we should not hear this constant cry about one ward not having a just repre- sentation in the court of common council
 That would be just and fair," said General Kellogg ''and should approve of it if it could be brought about. "Of course it would be just and fair" said Mir O'Neill but what in hades is the use of talking about what is just and right when people don't want to act on that principle"
 Don't you think there is enough men in the two parties. Mir O'Neill, said A re- porter. ito come together and fix things so that we should have equal representa- tion from all sections of the city?''
 No" he shouted. Whats the matter with you, man; don't you know there is would have been left as it is since Water bury got it's first charter"
 Colonel Burpee was asked if the charter would be ready for presentation to the court of common council Monday night He said he could not tell. but he hoped it would be. "We are workingat it." he said, "every time we can get a chance"
 Mayor kilduff didn't care to talk charter He said he was not assisting those who are making the revision and did not know whether such thing was being done.
 Major Spencer was delighted over the whole matter and said that he like others did not object to the charter so much as he did to the method. Mir Spencer then in- dulged ina speech on the work of the charter committee and wound up with a costigation of the court house scheme.
 Most people believe in maintaining the board of councilmen. One man said that as rule there were more bright active men in the lower board than in the alder. manic chamber, and cited several instance S where a tilt between the two bodies saved the aldermen from making some big blunders.

CAUGHT IN MORRIS.

The Thief Who Stole William F.
 Nichols Bicycle Arrested After .
 Long Chase.
 The story of the stolen bicycle, which the DEMOCRAT exclusively published Thursday, was rehearsed in the city court this morning. William F. Nichols, em- ployed at Captain Hemingway's South Main street fish market, who lost the wheel, was told by Polander who had read of the theft in the DEMOCRAT, that a countryman of his had the bicycle. Nichols started out on a still hunt for the thief. He chased him for few miles, but was unable to catch up with him, al though the front tire of the stolen wheel was punctured, and in bad condition. The Polander rode up all the hills to Morris, proving himself strong bicyclist Nichols located him at Morris and Con stable Benton was notified and the thief was placed under arrest Last night Detective Egan and Nichols drove to Morris and brought the thief back. He gave the name of Charles Wilson. The wheel had been painted yellow and a new saddle put on. but it was identified by the number. This morning Wilson. whom no one would take for bi- cycle rider. said he bought the wheel for $50. paying S2 down. He went to Morris to get the balance of the money from far mer. with whom he worked. He painted the wheel because the man who sold it to him told him to do so. Attorney Durant defended him. Judge Cowell fined him $25 and costs and four months in jail.
 Michael Keeley. for drunkenness, got thirty days ID jail.
 Morris Grinnin was charged with violat- ing city ordinance relative to throwing handbills on the street. He was putting them out for Superintendent Combellack of the Boys club. He pleaded guilty. Judge Cowell said it was really taking money from charity. but he supposed law is law and it should be enforced. He fined the accused s without costs.
 Chief Egan notified the court that Will liam Flanagan desired to withdraw the ap- peal taken for him yesterday. It was made without his knowledge or consent His tune, he said. would expire before his case would come up. The court said it had passed oui of his jurisdiction.

A Smart Dog.

Yes, dogs arc intelligent" " remarked a salesman from Vermont. Did you read In the paper the other day about a dog which had learned to communicate by Q series of dots and dashcs, like the Morse telcgraphic code? We'll, that was my dog. He would rap the signals with his tail on the floor. l never saw n more remarkable dog. When was engaged to be married, used him as a messenger of love. Iwould tell him what wanted to say to my sweetheart, who lived 20 miles away. He would run to her, rap out his message with his caudal appendage, get her mes sacg in return and hurry back to give me the benefit of it. Why, that dog saved me $22. 73 for postage alone. Seeing that the dog only cost me $5 originally, there was clear gain of S17.73. That dog saved my life, gentlemen. The circumstances are as wonderful as they are true.
 'Onc day, shortly after I was married l sent tho dog to the nearest village to bring home the groceries. On the road he found two men who were engaged in con- versation. Hearing my name mentioned, be crawled up to them, made friends with them and listened intently to their conver- sation. They were arranging a plan to rob my house, and, if necessary, to kill me in the attempt, in case made any resistance. That dog never let on, but just took in ev- cry word they uttered. Then he went to the grocery store, executed his commission and returned home. He revealed the whole plot to mo by means of his Morse code. When the robbers came that night, we were ready for them. Towser went for them from tho rear, while I received them with rifle in front, and between the two of us we landed the rascals in the peniten- tiary."
 Whats become of the dogf" asked some ono.
 "Oh, tho poor brute died of enlargement Of tho brain. I've got his cerebrum in al- cohol. It fills u gallon jar. Come around some day and I'll show it to you. ."--Phil. adOlphia TimeA

NapolCon's morY,

Napoleon had wonderful memory. When emperor. ho once surprised his council with his intimate knowledge of Roman law and was asked how he had obtained it. He stated that when lieu tenant he had once been placed under arrest and was ill prison for two weeks. During that time the only book at his command was treatise on Roman law. He sat down and in two weeks mastered the volume so completely that 20 years later he could repeat long passages from it's pages. He never forgot face or a name and would often greet private sol diers by their names, sometimes allud- ing to the march or the battle where he had seen them before. He kept in his head all the details of his military movements. and it was said of him that during the march to Italy and Marengo he knew where every pound of the sup plies for the use of the army was located. It is said that he remembered the name of every officer to whom he ever issued Q commission.
