LAPP Is GOOD ENOUGH
The City Council Makes Him Fire
Marshal.
DOC WERNER ISN'T IN 1T
The Volunteer Firemen Conclude
to Hold a Ne sting to Talk
About Disbandlng affairs
OF the City.

Butte. Feb. 6.-By unanimous vote
tonight the city council confirmed George
L. Lapp as chief and John Fiannery as
assistant chief of the fire depar, ment.
There was a large crowd of spectators
in attendance, who evidently eXpec ed
some discussion over the matter IN view
of the action taken last night by the vol
untecrs, but they were disappointed.
Mayor Dugan simply announced his APP
polntments, and Llpp and Flannery re-
ceIved the full vote of the council with
the exception of two absentees, Bowman
and Schatz Elm.
After the combinations the section of
the fire chiefs report in which he sa d he
had temporarily appointed two o. three
extra men was brought up.
Pascoe did not believe IN any increase
in the paid fire department at the presen
time, as the city could not Stand the ex-
pense. He moved that the chief be re-
stricted To the same number of men as
was in the old department, 10 firemen and
the chief and assistant. He was heartily
IN favor of keeping the department to the
required standard. but he did not believe
in ignoring the volunteers.
Chief Lapp was ca led upon for an ex-
PLANTATION, and lie sta ell that he had put
on two or three extra men temporarily
for the reason that they were needed I'M
I'll the new men familiarize thems elves
with their new duties. There is liable to
be two fires in different parts of the CRY
simultaneously at any time, he said, and
in such a case the department would be
in bad shape with only 10 men.
Cook was opposed to any increase in
the size of the department.
Byrne was also opposed to any increase,
but he thought that the new chief ought
TO be allowed two or three men for six or
eight weeks until he could get the new
men drilled. 1t was foolish to suppose,
he said, that 13 new men could do as
good work as the 10 trained men in the
old department, and he did not believe in
false economy and the fire department is
now handicapped by being made up
largely of new men.
Pascoe's motion that the chief be re-
strcted to II men in all was then put and
resulted in the following vote:
Aye-Carder, Cook, Dawson, Godin,
HAYES, Knowlton. Pascoe.
Nay-Batteiger, Byrne, Heilig, Kelly,
Sherman, VIvion, Walsh.
The mayor cast his vote in the negative
and declared the motion lost. He said
that he voted as he did IN order to give the
nsw chief an opportunt TO bring the
new department up to a standard equal to
that of the old.
A communication was received from the
volunteer firemen setting forth that at n
meeting of the department last night A.
j. Werner and John Fiannery had been
una nimously nominated for appointment
as chief and assistant chef of the fire de-
partment. The communication was re-
ferred to the mayor.
The city treasurer submitted the fol-
lowing statement of the city's receipts

Louis MiXelaz'S Invention

1t is a good thing to be an inventor if
you CAL invent something that will do
good work. If, however, says a writer in
the Louisville Commercial, your idea is
a bad one,your experience is not likely
to be a pleasant one. Louis Mivelaz is
the latest victim of an improbable idea.
Mr.. Mivslaz is a great fisherman and
spends most of his spare time on the
river front. AS he always had good
luck. he is generally surrounded by a
crowd OF boys. who watch him haul in
his fishes. This is ANNOYING and Mr..
Mivelaz has long pondered over a way to
get rid of the boys. The result OF his
meditations was that he hied him to a
printer and had printed on large card
these words: This is my busy day."
The next time Mr.. Mivelaz went fishing
he threw out his line, and then hung the
card by string around his neck in such
a manner that the card hung down his
back. Then he waited for the first small
boy to come around. expecting him to
slink off on tiptoe as soon as he caught
sight of the card. But this did not hap
pen. The first boy that happened that
way did leave in a hurry, but it was only
crowd of twenty or thirty urcnins, who
stared at the card as if they had
never seen anything of the kind before.
More came. and soon the fisherman was
surrounded by crowd of such size that
Patrolman Doran ran down the bank in
a hurry, thinking that someone had
fallen into the river.
Nobody was gladder to see him than
the fisherman, and he soon relieved him
memorable day Mr.. Mivelaz has been
doubtful about acting upon any OF his
brilliant thoughts till they have been
tried upon someone else.

An American in China

Commander P. H. McGif1n, the
American who has had O remarkable
career in China, has written the story of
the battle of the Yalu.i which his ship.
the Chen Yuen, was engaged. A friend
of the commander says that it is not gen.
orally known that he went to LII Hung
Chang with a letter of introduction from
James G. Blaine. McGiffin was gradual
ed from tn naval academy at Annapolis
in 1882, and at the outbreak of the Franco
Chinese war he resigned from the United
States service and went to China to see
active service. McGiffin s father was a
classmate of Mr.. Blaine in Washington
college, and he had been colonel of regi-
ment during the civil war. Mr.. Blaine's
letters assured the young American off,
Ger hearing and the opportunity to
undergo an examination for the Chinese
service. McGifin passed his examination
