ADJUSTMENTS.
A GREAT PLAY.

"The Girl Left Behind Me-" which
is to be produced at the Grand Opera
House next Wednesday night, may be
described as an American drama in
four acts, written around Indians and
white men with a stockade for the
most startling scene and Indian war
whoops for the incidental music 1t
has cast of seventeen characters, and
every human emotion is brought into
play during the action of the piece. 1t
causes the heart to stick in the throat
most of the time. There is a strong
love element intimately connected with
the garrison life, and there are vivid
contrasts. "The Girl / Left Behind
Me" is considered the best combined
work Of its authors, David Belasco and
Franklin Fyles.

Can BE Done Towards lettering Ia

AAM ne A40Me TOW uEus hEAAtNAmk ~
Ex-Chief Fireman Puder said yesterday
that the repeater al IRE headquarters
which receives and announces the alarm
is not seven or eight years old, as stated
by Chairman Grayson OF the FIRE commits
sion. but is only three years Old.
The repeater. the ex-chief said. was
purchased In the spring Of 1893, when Mr..
H. W. Dixon was chairman Of the com
mittee Of council. It's c6st was 1880 and
the old repeater. II is an eight circuit ma
chine. the one which u replaced having
been only a three Circuit machine. The
city has not yet put all the circuits into
use, only six being In use now, leaving
room for the extension Of the system BY
the other Two circuits.
The fire commission viii meet Tuesday.
az which time the O'DonneI machine
works FIRE viii be taken up and the rea-
son for the failure OF the alarms turned
in to strike will be discussed.
Chairman Grayson said yesterday that
he Rad not been able 10 get a any further
cause Of the failure OF the alarms TO
sound other than that already given, that
the repeater at headquarters was out OF
order and failed to receive and transmit
the alarm.
The weak material in the FIRE depart
ment is TO be weeded out. The foreman
Of each company In the service was noti-
fed by Chairman Grayson several days
ago 70 make report upon the members
Of his company, giving records in full,
including length and character Of ser
vice, and the fOreman's opinion OF his
capacity. Upon the latter depends
great deal, as the firemen who do not
receive the Endorsement Of their foremen
will in all likelihood be dropped from the
service.
The commission will take M this mat
ter and will receive and consider the re-
ports OF the foremen. Several of the fire.
men may find themselves out Of a job as
the result. The hremen are not aware
Of the sword which is hanging over their
heads and this will be the first intimation
received by most Of them that their rec
ords are being passed in review and that

Ponds upon the sort Of recommendation

is weak material on the fire department

Fourteen Of the best marksmen of the

the trip one thoroughly enjoyed by all,
and to be forgotten by none This, how
ever, is not the only determination. A,

coveted honors, and in view of the fine
scores that have been made in recent
practice, there is little reason to doubt
that many of the prizes VIII come their

While no scores made In the late practice
have been published, as It was desired to
keep them a secret from competitors, it

team has been exceptionally good. For

men made clean scores.
The Kansas City will arrived at New

BACKING THEIR JUDGMENT.
A Couple of Bay streeters Put Up
$500 on the Legislative Fight.

A Couple of Bay streeters Put Up
$500 on the Legislative Fight.
An election bet for large amount by
two well known Bay street business men
caused considerable talk yesterday The
bet is for $500 a side.
A wel-known wholesale grocer bets this
amount with a well-knOwn produce dealer
just across the street from him, that the
Citizens Club will elect all three members
OF its legislative ticket in the coming cleo
ton. The bet was made Friday night, but
the money was not put until yesterday
The Liberal Club man thinks he has got
a good thing as the odds are on his side
If the Liberal Club elects only one of its
candidates for the legislature he is a win
ner. The Citizens Club man offered to
make the bet $1000, however, and says he
Is ready to put up the other $500 on the
same terms.
An ardent young Liberalite, who heard
OF the bet, came down and put up 500
with the grocer that the Liberal Club
would elect two out Of its three candi-
dates for the legislature The bet was
promptly taken. Local politics have been
very quiet for some time past and there
mas been very noticeable lack of bet
ting. Now that the bali has been started
betting is likely to become common. As
usual, It is safe to state, that there villa
be more bluff than bets
