of life, occurred early Yesterday morn
ing. The fire was In a coal house just
back of Hotel American, and to PATROL
man McAndrew is due the credit of its
discovery. McAndrew has Just been
appointed on the force and that the
choice was a good one is seen by his
vigilance. He was walking along
Salem avenue. at about three o'clock,
when he saw large volumes Of smoke
rising from the alley back of the hotel.
He at once rushed in and discovered
that the coal house was a mass OF
flames. 1t took but few minutes for
him to notify the fire companies. who
We're soon on the spot. and after hard
work succeeded in getting the flames
under control
The fire is thought to be of incendiary
origin, as there is no other manner in
which the place could have taken fire.

think the returns will be large enough
to pay for the trouble, although the
hospital is sadly in need of funds. In
oil probability, however, the kirmess will
be held, as the idea has taken such a

TASMANIA, AUSTRALIA.

Tasmania is rich in metals and her
mining industries are not fully de.
veloped. The island is also a health
resort for the Australians. Fishing is
good.
Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, is
beautifully situated at the mouth of
the Derwent, which opens into fine
harbor. The background is high
mountain range with snowy peaks.
The women of Tasmania are noted
for their beauty, and are greatly in ex-
cess of the men. Consequently there
is much rivalry for the favor of the few
eligible young men. Caste feeling 10
very strong.
Tasmania may aptly be called the old
curiosity shop of Australasia. In the
villages may be found old china such
as collectors rave over; grandfather's
clocks, old prints ard sometimes paint
ings by hands that have belonged to
masters in the art.
The native Tasmanian is different
from the neighboring Australians. His
voice is clear and musical, and noted
singers have been born there. The in
sularity of the residents of Tasmania
makes them somewhat clannish, and
the visiting stranger is made to feel
that he is not of them.
The turning point in Tasmanian his
tory was achieved some 25 years ago,
when the railway was opened connect
ing the two principal towns, 13O miles
apart. Previous to that travel was by
stage coach, and the beauty of the coun-
try made it pleasure. An English as
pect was given to the road by it's
rows of hawthorn and yellow gorse.

ANOTHER DIsPENsARY COMPLAINT.
Estud$ht, &nt Out, Could Not Aid an
NJ wfnjured Man..

Residents of the neighborhood of New Jer-
sey and New York streets are talking of the
very strange performance of the City Dis
pensary staff a few night ago. About 10
o'clock a young man living on East New
York street slipped on a piece of ice on New
Jersey street, near Ohio, and fell. Pedes-
TRANS picked him up and carried him as far
as New York, where he was laid down, for
he complained that the pain was more than
he could stand. 1t was but a short distance
to his home, but so intense was his suffer-
ing that the crowd decided to send for the
city ambulance.
A telephone message was sent to the dis
pensary and the ambulance was quick to re-
spond. Instead of there being a member of
the staff on the ambulance, as the rules of
the Board of Health specify, a student was
in charge. He said his name was Wilcox,
and that he was a third-year man at one of
able and unprepared to relieve the suffering
of the young man who had fallen. The
neighbors say the student did all he could.
He went to the telephone and asked one of
the injured man. Those who heard the tele-
phoning say that Wilcox's actions indicated
were unsatisfactory. He begged that some
physician come, saying the injured man had
a broken leg and must have immediate at
tention. ft
The suffering man was removed to his
home. The student tried to find a physician
in the neighborhood, but all were out. He
left, saying he would go to the dispensary
and have one of the physicians attend TO the
case. The dispensary replied that the friends
of the injured man should call some other
physician. 1t was a considerable time be-
fore a doctor could be found, and during the
search the injured man suffered great pain.
1t was found that his leg was broken in two
places above the ankle. The ~neighbors feel
that had a physician been sent with the am
bulance or had one responded to the call
from Wilcox. the young man who fell would
have been spared much pain.

We have thought when we were complain
ing that this habit had silently stolen down
the ages. when our kind neighbors yet so
generously tell US what to do to cure US,
even il they know we have a doctor. Among
the many advanced steps and new discov-
cries OF this noble profession is the germ
theory of disease and decay. Not long since
a distinguished Italian bacteriologist claimed
to discover the germ that produced old age.
Those of us who have been 80 long on the
road that our locks begin to show the dust

may be found to destroy this wicked germ

If the old age germ can be destroyed then

Decrease of sixty Saloons Locally.

According to reports received by the Good
Citizens League, there has been a decrease
in the number of saloons in all parts of the
State, the decrease in this city being sixty.
All this Is since the Nicholson law went into

be no active fight against the law by the
Democrats. He says this was practically
settled at a recent meeting of the State COM
mittee, when the advice of Senators Voor-
