Friendship Fire House Now in Eirst-class
Condition.
The improvements at the Friendship
engine house we're completed Saturday
and the building is now open to the
public for inspection. The finishing
touches were put on the electric work
at noon. The company has one OF the
best appointed fire houses in any city
the size Of Wilmington. The stable has
been removed from the rear, and the
entire first floor has besn thrown, into
an engine room. -Four box stalls, feet
inches by 10 feet have been erected,
two on each side of the apparatus, which
not only places the horses much closer
to the engine and hose carriage, hut
also gives them more air than formerly
and makes more room generally. The
stall doors have been fitted with patent
Shannon spring trips. which work auto.
matiGally with the striking of the gong.
All of the electrical apparatus has
been placed together on what is known
as the sounding board, near the front
doors. In addition to the gong and
trip mechanism, there ia an indicator
and telephone.
The interior of the engine room has
been repainted, the walls in light blue
and the ceiling in straw color, giving
the whole room a new and cleanly ap-
pearance. The lighting arrangements
are better than formerly. Tho sanitary
appointments are also of the be5t. The
entire building, including each one of
the stalls, has been connected with the
sewer, thus making the place much
more healthy,

animal. 1t ran into the yards of the
company frothing at the mouth and
after biting at several objects, caught
up with a man named Evans and bit
his trousers, tearing piece out of
them, but did not reach tile flesh.
Several employees seeing the condition
of the dog, jumped upon boxes and
other out Of the way places. Several
men ran and shut the gates and pro-
cured clubs and tried to hit the animal.
Fortunately Officer Smith was on the
platform OF the French street station
and was summoned, and as soon as he
saw a chance he fired, bringing the
dog 10 a stop, and after sending another
bullet into the animal. left for his post

When the traveller departs for an
other city in the empire he must have
the passport countersigned by the po-
lice. This process continues until he
reaches the frontier, which he cannot
cross unless the passport has been
vised and stamped by the police. Not
infrequently tourists are stopped at
the frontier, and subjected to serious
inconvenience because they have me-
elected to comply with the police reg
ulations respecting passports
All this red tape causes annoyance
and irritation among tourists, who are
apt to overlook the fact that Russians
as well as foreigners are compelled to
observe these police regulations. 1t is
the business of the police to know
whore everybody lodges. A permit is
required if "a native removes from one
quarter Of town to another. Every
body is registered by the police when
he arrives or departs. and foreigners
when they are in Russia are dealt with
on equal terms with permanent resi-
dents

SOME PASSPORT REGULATIONS
VeXatiOus Restrictions in Russia
and Turkey.

From the Youths Companion.
There are few countries in which
travellers now require passports in or
der to promote their convenience and
security. In Brazil and Venezuela a
passport must be shown to the officials
before one is allowed to leave the
country for a foreign port. This is a
veXatiCus measure, enforced apparent
ly for the sake Of enabling a few Off
cials to collect small fees. In Cuba
passports are produced whenever traV-
ellers arrive or depart. This precau-
tion is considered necessary in view
of the political condition of unrest
prevailing in the island.
In Russia passport regulations are
enforced with great stringency. No
traveller is allowed to enter the empire
until he has obtained a passport and
convinced the Russian consular off,
GERS at the port from which he sails
that he is neither a Roman Catholic
priest nor a Hebrew. The question or
dinarily asked is "What is your relig-
ion" but it is designed to provide
against the entry Of either of these
two classes,
When the traveller arrives at a Rus
sian port, with a passport which has
been properly ylsed and countersign-
ed at a consular ofilcetit is critically
examined by a police officer and duly
registered.
At the entrance of the hotel another
police officer takes possession of the
document, and. in the course of TWEEN
ty-four hours, returns IT with a permit

sHAKEspEARE IN LONDON.
To suppose That Shakespeare Was
Not known 10 Educated Londoners


John Fislse in the November Atlantic.
Shakespeare London was small
city of from 10000 to 100000 souls, or
about the size of Providence or Min
neapolis at the present time. In cities
of such size everybody of the slightest
eminence is known all over town, and
such persons are sure to be more or less
acquainted with one another; it is a
very rare exception when it is not so.
Before his thirtieth year Shakespeare
was well known in London as an actor,
a writer of plays, and the manager of
a prominent theatre. In that year
Spenser in his Colin Clout's Come
Home Again." alludng to Shakespeare
under the name of Action, or eagle
like" paid him this compliment:
And there, though last, not least in
Action;
A gentler shepherd may nowhere be
found;
Whose muse full of high thoughts in
vention
DOTH like himself. heroically sound"
Four years after this, in 1893, Francis
Meres published his book entitled pal
ladis Tamia," a very interesting con-
tribution to literary history. The
author who had been an instructor in
rhetoric in the University of oxford
was then living in London, near the
Globe theatre. In this book Meres tells
his readers that "the sweet, witty soul
of Ovid lives in mellifluous and honey
tongued Shakespeare; witness his
Venus and Adonis. his Lucrece,' his
sugared sonnets among his private
friends" etc.
TO suppose that such a man as this
in a town the size of Minneapolis, con-
nected with a principal theatre. writer
of the most popular plays of the day,
a poet whom men We're already coup
ling with Homer and Pindar-to sup
pose that such a man was not known
to all the educated people of the town
is simply absurd: There We're prob
ably very few men, women or children
in London, between 1895 and 1910, who
did not know who Shakespeare was
when he passed them in the street /;
and as for such wits as drank ale and
sack at the Mermaid. as for Raleigh
and Bacon and Selden and the rest, to
suppose that Shakespeare did not know
them well-nay, to suppose that he was
not the leading spirit and brightest
wit of those ambrosial nights-is about
as sensible as to suppose that he never
saw a Maypole.
