THE SLIDING POLE.
Handy Going Down, But Stairs Used
Going Up.


Fircmen use the sliding poles in the
engine houses when descending from
the dormitorv floors to the street floor
about their ordinary affairs. just as
they do when hustling down for a fire
1t is the quickest and easiest way to
go, and naturally they 90 that way
always. To a man not "A fireman, how
ever, and so unaccustomcd to it, the
commonplace use of the sliding pole
seems at first strange. He has seen il
usually, perhaps only. from below; and
the use of il is associated in his mind
with the sound of the gong, the pound
ing of the horses hoofS, the Snappin"
of harness and the general hustle of
preparation. To see the firemen come
dropping down the sliding poles into
this scene of activity seems all right.
1t seems like a part of the general
scheme. But if one who has been ac-
oustomed only to seeing them come
down the poles i'll this way should hap
DCn at a time of quiet in the house to
he on an upper floor. and instead of
seeing firemen shoot into view should
see one suddenly and silently disap-
pear, that sight probably would at
first be surprising to him.
Al first it seems strange to see any
man. fircmen or not. slide down pole
to start for his dinner, for instance,
but that is what the fireman does,
and it is just the same if he is going
below for any duty in the house. He
goes down the pole habitunlly, because
that is the simplest and easiest way to
90. But he doesn't GO back hat way:

would he mighty hard work to shin up
it. When the fireman goes up, then,
like everybody else, he climbs the stairs.

CONGRESS TAKES A RECESS.
House and Senate Adjourn TIL After
the Holidays.

The United States Senate was unexpect-
edly diverted, Tuesday, from Cuba to the
Pacific railroads. Soon after the session
opened Senator Pcttigrcw of South Dakota
called UP his resolution relative to the trust
notes of the Pacific railroads. The senator
made a savage onslaught on the Pacific
railway system in general, charging that a
combination of private interests was seek
ing to absorb the roads and close out the
government. This opened the entire qucs-
tion, and Senator Morgan of Alabama fol-
lowed With n bitter arraignment of the
Pacific roads, charging them With fraud
and crime on a gigantic scale. The speech
lasted until shortly before o'clock, when
the morning hour expired, thus sending
over the Cuban question until after the
holidays. Further than this the session
was uneventful and the senate adjourned
the holiday recess, lasting until jan
uary 5.
The house passed the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill and
then adjourned for the holiday recess.
