Thos. Hovenden's painting, Breaking

the Hayden Art club. commencing
Christmas night, is undoubtedly the
most popular picture ever painted in
Ame lea. At the Worlds Fair in Chi

preston than was ever made by any
other in a similar exhibition. In reply
to friends inquiry as to the thought
which suggested the painting of this
wonderful picture, he wrote the follow

the Fire Department for the year ending
May 10, which has just been issued, is u
comprehensive volume OF interest to no5
only the Fire Department but to citizens
outside of it. The report cites five deaths
by fire and while responding to alarms
during tie period. 1t gives the strength
Of the department as follows: Eight steam
engines, two double sixty. gallon chemical
engines, one aeriel truck with eighty Live
foot extension ladder and four fire extin.
guishers, five hose carts, two hose wagons,
one combination chemical wagon, thirty
three horses, nine engineers, all in the best

lutely necessary, rs was shown Oh two
different occasions, ono at Newport, Del,
and the other ut Barleywood Mills,
where the Department did valuable ser.
vice. The loss at tho two lircs being S37,-

benefit to the officers of the Department.
As the city is growing too large for ono
Truck, would recommend that another
Truck Company be organized in tho
western part OF the city.
The placing of all wires underground is
recommended.
Attention is also called to tho storing of
combustibles, and the appointment Of an
inspector Is recommended to examine the
cellars of business places and not allow
boxes and rubbish to accumulate to an ex.
tent that would impede the work Of the
fireman in Il cnse of cellar fires.
