that she is as good as possible in this
clever bit of character acting. Miss Lottie
Alter is q very attractive young woman
who has not been long on the stage but

One Of the Massachusetts congressman
lives near Boston. He has a beautiful es-
tate, his admiration for which is shared
ny his coachman, Mike. The other day
Mike brought couple of his Irish friends
upon the place, and after escorting them
around the grounds and showing them
the stable ushered them into the hall
There. somewhat to his surprise, he met
his employer, but the latter was deter
mined not to be outdone III hospitality by
ms coaebman. Bring your friends right
into the dining room, Mike, he said, and
into the dining room the trio followed
him.

..humanity.''

Humanity" was given, Thursday even
ing, at the Opera house In this city. before
one of the largest audiences that has been
present at any performance given here,
this season. There was little room for
more.
The play itself is brilliant success, and
the acting, as whole, and individually,
was of superior description. If the ap-
plause was any criterion of the impression
which the play made, it can safely be said
that no play has given better satisfaction
here, this winter.
The play is full OF genuine psthos, and
% Humanity is no misnomer for it, With
the pathos is humor, and in this line, c.
Jay Williams as Marks Manassas was a
striking feature. He made an excellent
Jew, and to this character, which has been
attempted by about every comedian who
walks, he added much originality, and
was, in short very Jewy jew.
1t will be a surprise to most of the au-
diencc to know that Mr.. Joseph Grismcr,
who has been starring in the part of
Lieut.. Bevis CLAIBORNE, did not appear.
Thursday evening, he having been away
through indispositon. The part was most
acceptably taken, and warmly received,
as three curtain calls bore evidence, by
Mr. Ross O'Neil.
The character itself was strong one
throughout, with enough of the genuine
man to it, and of the lover, to
make an admirable most highly respected
and generally attractive specimen of
humanity.
AS Alma Dunbar, Miss Davies was
energetic, and fully up to shooting ii gum
as well as a graceful love scene Her
spontanety was striking, and in her I'M
quenchablc force lay much of the dramatic
strength of the play. Both these two
characters received warm applause, all of
which they deserved, yet some of which
belonged most justly to the support of
others, in the strong scenes Of which the
former were the centers.

Fire Apparatus In the American Colonies.

Fire Apparatus In the American Colonies.
Tho early settlers in America paid no
attention toward protecting themselves
against fire, and the different colonies
had grown into fair sized communities
with several industries well established
before any steps were taken in hat di-
rectiOn. About the earliest mention of
a definite method Of FIRE protection was
made at Salem, Mass, in 1914, when
each inhabitant was ordered TO be sup
piled with q ladder under penalty Of a
fine Of 8 shillings. These ladders were
undoubtedly made in Salem or in the
immediate vicinity, and IL might
readily say that here began an Ameri-
can industry that is now carried on SO
extensively in many places and under a
multitude Of different forms. IN 1913
four fire wardons were appointed in New
York city. These men passed a law to
fine every ono whose chimney became
foul orfwhose house was burned by his
WI carelossness. The money so OBJ
tanned was TO be used in the purchase
Of ladders, hooks aud buckets. These
wero not provided. however, until some
years later.
Boston also tool, steps in this direc-
ton, and ON the first dry Of the twelfth
month Of 1858, or, by the modern
method Of computation, ON Feb. l.,
1854, the following entry is found in
the town records:

Love. bearing many burdens through the
world,
Came TO tho place where burdens are laid
down.
Smiling she stretched her patient hands for
more.
'sThese things are past, =" said one, "taSe now
thy crownl'
Love, always humble, whom most beautiful,
Drew back. ~ II such guerdon to deplore,
To whom tho rosy angel softly sighed,
''Tho crown Of loving Is TO love tho more"
