The Discipline.

The Discipline.
Speaking of discipline the report says:
Notwithstanding the fact that the de-
partment is being steadily increased. and
that very rigid discipline is constantly
maintained, there are comparatively few
occasions when it is found necessary to cite
a member before the trial committee. The
success of a fire department depends to a
great extent upon the discipline. During
the year the trial committee investigated
but twenty-one charges against members
of the department, and of this Plumber
three cases were dismissed. No frivolous
charges have been brought. but when
member has been guilty of the violation Of
any rule or regulation. or of any neglect
he has been promptly dealt with.
Pension Fund.
says:
"No matter how brave and energetic
man may be, IL he has wife and little
ones depending upon him for support he is
not SO likely to hesitate to perform any
duty IL he Is assured that they wAi be pro-
vided for should he meet with an accident
which would result In his death or disable
him from performing any labor.
EVERY fireman who has served as such
for a few years has time and again faced
death. and to their credit ii may be stated
that 1t is very rare occurrence when one
the result.
Gas the amount Of fines collected from
the Police Court necessarily varies from
year to year complice lions might arise
should the amount be Inadequate to supply
any deficiency which might be caused In
the fire department pension fund.
Il respectfully recommend that the pres
ent law be amended so as to authorize the
payment of such money as may be needed
to supply any deficiency in this fund out
of the revenues Of the District OF Column
bia instead Of from Police Court fines.
Fire Hydrants.

catiun for Americans

Princeton, n. J., Oct. 22.-The first an
nual exercises in commemoration OF the
day when charter was granted to the
college of New Jersey were held yes
terday afternoon IN Alexander hail. Two
thousand people were present on the
occasion. which was made one Of signal
importance by the addresses OF Grover
Cleveland, ey-president Of the United
States, and Lord Aberdeen, governor
general of Canada. One hundred and
fitty cdd years ago the province of New
Jersey granted the college, which aft
erwards assumed its name, a charter
authorizing the beginning of the insti-
tuition of learning, which became Prince
ton university last October, and the ex-
erc.ses We're for the two-fold purpose
Of celebrating the origin of the college
of New Jersey and its evolution TO
Princeton university.
Ex-President Cleveland's address was
plea for good citizenship and the right
use Of education. He said: we have
seen the scholar In public life. teaching
tricks to tricksteTs and with the mask
Of education on his face leading the
way to the lowest depths Of partisan
deceit and intrigue. When direful
capital Of France and erenched her
streets in blood, education though not
absent failed to stay the fury that
decreed the horrors Of those appalling
da.-s"
In closing he said: In our public life
we may be sure THAT as a general rule
our servants and agents will be no bet
ter than the people who create them.
They may he Infinitely worse through
the peoples rcglect or betrayal .
y Just people willing TO concede eaual
rights and privileges to every citizen
would enforce Justice IN their govern
rnent; a people Who valued integrity
end morality would exact them in high
places: and a people who love peace
would not again suffer the Humiliation
OF seeing dashed from their proud
grasp the almost ripened hope of Lead
ership among the nations Of the earth
in the high mission Of driving out the
cruel harbar!t,es Of war by the advent
Of the pacific methods of international
arbitration
President Patten delivered Q brief a1-
dress of welcome to Lord ard Lady
Aberdeen and conferred upon Lord
Aberdeen the degree Of Ii. D. In replv
Lord Aberdeen expressed bis deep aD-
probation q the honor conferred unou
him and sulcgized the university. He
assumed That 1t was an honor to the
governor general Of Canada rather than

Carlinville, Ills, Oct. 23.-The omission
OF the letter So in the indictment

New York, Oct. 23.-Russell Sage
makes emphatic and specific denial CT
the report that he is at the head of an

without foundation" said Sage Il have

certain outside interests that it may be
that some concerted action Will be taken
to postpone the sale of the Union Pacific
property until all the facts are thor

There Is nothing uncertain about my
attitude in this Union Pacific affair"
Sage continued. ''I think it Is due to the
people Of this country that the govern

It gave the Union Pacific. ard If Il shal!
appear later that something different is
