VETERAN FIREMEN.
A repor ter, while looking up carnival
items yesterday dropped in at the
veteran fireman's hall TO see how they
we're progressing with their float.
which is nearing completion. Asking
George Ottinger, president of the as
ISOLATION. if he had any objection to
a publication of the description of the
float before the procession he replied.
mo, sir; in my opinion every float
should be mentioned and its intent or
what it represented should be deScrlb-
ed the day before the procession in
all the papers. These floats at least
should be more or less symbolical
of some eventful era, virtue or attrib-
ute, and unless spectators are posted
enigmas-charades to be guessed at;
and instead of calling forth admiration
and applause create nlyStificaton and
disappointment. Right here is case
in paint. We are going to mount the
old fire bell on a. platform. A majority
of the lockers on would imagine it g.
representation of the old liberty beH'
of honored name and fame but this is
not the intention of our symbol.
1T is the cid fire bell that bounced
us out at all hours and in all kinds Of
weather. If we wish to represent the
old liberty bell'' we would have a
goddess of liberty with the farmer
leaving his plow, the smith his anvil
the merchant his desk, rushing to arms
for liberty and independence. No it is
THE OLD FIRE BELL
and we will surround it with minia-
ture firemen with their hose, pipes and
hydrants, and crown its canopy with
Psyche (the soul) and Cupid (the hearth
and our float will simply read that
cut of pure love. with heart and soul,
we responded to the clamorous peals
rung time and again on the precious
old metal.
How well we may succeed in our
representation is hard to tell. Pictures
without words are hard to make clear,
especially on wagon wheels, but rest
assured the old boys are putting in
their best ticks to make creditab1e

A telegram received yesterday from

SOCIETY PEOPLE INTERESTED.
Great preparations are being made
among society people and others for
what VIII be known as carnival night
that IS to say, after sunset on the day
of the Fourth.
In al carnival cities this concluding
night always witnesses the climax OF
the festivities. 1t is then that all rules
are disregarded. all restrictions defied
and a. general, good-natured helter-
SHELTER obtains. Al the Yelled Prophet
conclave, in st. Louis, this season OF
is usually characterized by the
of presents and souvenirs CT
the occasion; at the New Orleans Mardi
Gras the crowds lombard each other
with flowers. grain, etc; at the Los
Angeles Fiesta roses, pinks and pop
pies are used as missiles to pelt the
passerby and make the riot merry gem
orally.
So carefully has the secret been
guarded that it is not at present known
just what form the local pandemonium
on Saturday night viii take. That it
will be fast and furious enough, how
ever. to suit all lovers of fun is a fore
gone conclusion.
At the setting of the sun on Satur-
day evening there will appear upon the
scene a new character, to-wit-the king.
He will be accompanied by an army of
masked soldiers and will Immediately
proceed to dethrone the queen of the
carnival, usurp her rights and carry
things with a high hand. OF course her
majesty viii not be at all surprised or
at this attack from the
enemy. for the whole thing viii have
been prearranged by the committee,
and there will be thousands Of her SUD-
iects present to bid her God speed in
the same breath with which they wish
her successor joy for his brief reign.
Then things will be lively. The king
will command that everybody within
the realm bounded by the limits of the
,itv conduct hImseff and herself ac-
,orling to personal inclination And
t is needless to say. the subjects will
1hev the command to the letter All
