The council committee or fire depart
ment met last night. and received the
report OF its subcommittee relative to
the material needed and cost of same,
for the repairing of the fire alarm sys'
tenn. The recommendations OF the
GameweH expert, previously printed in
the Intelligencer, were acted on In ac-
cordance with the subcommittee re-
port, and the committee last night
ADOPTED the report.
The wires and poles were ordered
purchased, and as o as all the mate
rial arrives the work of going over the
system begins. AS previously stated
new wires will be used with the excep-
ton of on the Island. The cost OF con-
structlon Will be determined to-day,
when the committee awards the con-
tract, All told, the improvement OF the
system win cost about $1,000. The work
is expected to be completed In four
weeks. Among the innovations Will be
a slx-clrcuit combination switch board,
to cost $500.
Consideration OF the subcommittee
report did not consume much time last
night, and before adJournlng a general
discussion followed on the needs OF the
department. Chief Klleves spoke OF the
good work done by the chemical engine
at the recent fires at the Wheeling
Drug Co. and Il. V. Harvey's paint
shop, and his suggestion that another
chemical engine be secured met with
favor. But the appropriation for IT.
All, there's the rub
II was conceded that the Island
should be furnished with the engine
when "there'H come a time" Then the
conversation drifted to the beauties OF
the shut-off nozzle, a device which al
lows the fireman to turn on or off the
water in the hose he Is carrying, con-
seauently saving much damage by
water" There is only one or two noz-
zles of this kind in the department, and
II was agreed that more would be OF
great benefit to property owners, espe-
cIally inside a house where a small
blaze doesn't call for a general deluge
OF the interior. 1t may be that two Will
be secured.
A new horse for the department, bad
~ needed for some time, Is q matter
that the committee Will attend to this
week.

Readers.
An election always brings forth q
Kaleidoscope series Of amusing incl

to the rule. The Market street sheet
made itself conspicuous by furnishing
several In the shape of breaks that
sustained It's reputation as a misrepre-
sentative OF public opinion and as a
purveyor OF Jews.
Break No. 1.-The placing Of the
rooster over the returns from Massa-
chusetts. The old Bag state didn't do

han, at Lynn, Mass, determined to step in andhelphers sex. Having had cons&
erabie experience in treating female ills with her Vegetable Compound, she en-
couraged the women of America to write to her for advice in regard to Their
complaints, and, being a woman, twas easy for her sling sisters to pour int
her ears every detail of their suffering.
In this way she was able to do for them what the physicians were unable
to do, simply because she had the proper information to work upon, and
from the little group Of women who sought her advice years ago a great
army of her tenow-beings are to-day constantly applying for advice and re
lief, and the fact that more than one hundred thousand of them have been
successfully treated by Mrs. Pinkhsm during the last year is indicative n
the grand results which are produced by her unequaled experience and
training.
No physician in the world has had such a training, or has such an amount
of information at hand to assist in the treatment OF all kinds of female ills
from the smplestl local irritation 1.-THE most complicated diseases of the womb
This, therefore, is the reason why Mrs. Pinkham, in her laboratory at
LYNN, Mass, is able to do more for the aning women OF America than the
family physician. Any woman, therefore, is responsible for her own suffering
who will not take the trouble to write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice
The testimonials which we ire constantly publishing from grateful women
establish beyond a doubt the power Of Lydia I. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound to conquer female diseases.
