WILL INSPECT THE ENGINES
Boiler Inspector Dahl Again Asserts
the Authority of his Office

Another clash is imminent between the
fire department and the boiler inspector.
Late Friday afternoon the latter official
notified the former that the department
must have one of it's engines ready for
inspection on the 23d inst, and that from
and on every fifth day after
that date another engine must be sub
jected to inspection and test until all the
fire engines of the department had been
tested.
This wrangle began several months
ago, when the boiler inspector, backed by
the board of engineers, made similar
demand on the fire department, and the
matter was referred to the city attorney
by the council to decide whether the
ordinance was meant to cover the fire
engines Of the city within its require
ments.
Mr.. Dunn held that the fire engines
were subject to the terms of the ordi
nance. Since that time the matter has
been left in allegiance by the boiler in
spector until yesterday afternoon.
The mayor was promptly informed of
these facts when the boiler inspectors
notification had been received, and he
held a long consultation with President
Silver in regard to the matter. 1t was
decided that the city council be given an
explanation of the facts on Monday.

Visited by Santa Claus With
Lots of Presents

Two hundred newsboys were made
happy yesterday by the young ladies in
terested in the Lark Ellen home. In the
afternoon they were treated to turkey
dinner at the Royal Bakery restaurant
and in the evening enjoyed all the wild
happiness of visit from jolly old Santa

Music hall on Spring street and distrib-
uted quantities of candies, nuts, .raisins,
apples and oranges.
| The entertainment was arranged
under the management of the Misses

entire charge of the program. During
the dinner at the Royal Bakery Lowin-

Music hall was beautifully decorated
for the gathering in the evening with
holly and evergreens. Two immense
flags had been draped, one at either end
of the platform. In the center of the
platform was a big chimney, through
which Santa Claus later made his ap-
pearance. There were two beautiful
Christmas trees arranged on either side
of the chimney, brilliantly lighted with
hundreds of candles, and laden with
presents. Arend's orchestra furnished
music throughout the evening. Over 300
newsboys gathered in the hall and were
made happy by the good things which

chimney amid the wild cheering of the
excited little ones. Miss Yaw took her
position at big basket of apples and
Miss Whelpley stationed herself by a
basket of candy. The gifts were then
distributed among all the boys, which
completed the happiness of a most en-
joyable day. The affair was a pro-
nounced success. In speaking of it last

with seats to accommodate the orphans

the nursery.
Several messages were received by
telephone from Santa Claus before he
finally put in his appearance. He was

then on the children eagerly listened
for the telephone bell. which rang re-
peatedly. While waiting the children
rendered very pleasing program. They
had been we'll drilled for their parts by
the superintendent of the Sunday school,
Mr.. Hanley, and his wife and daughter.
There are about 140 children in the
home. and each was made happy by a
box of candy and several presents.
Santa Claus was impersonated by a
young man, who was for several years
an inmate of the home. He is now a
successful business man and evinces his
gratitude and interest in the home by
doing kindnesses to others who, like
himself, are orphans.

Especially Arranged Elaborate Music
al Programs Given at All-Deco-
rations and Sermons

Christmas services were held in all the
Catholic and Episcopal churches yes

grams Of music and sermons appropri-
ate to the occasion. All the edifices
were more or less elaborately decorated
with smilax, date palms, young ever
greens and holly berries in profusion.
The altars in all the churches were
brilliantly lighted with numberless
candles, every protecting drapery was
removed, and the vestments in the Cath
olic churches were handsome and ef-
fective. The congregations in each
tested the capacity of the edifice.
There were solemn masses at st. Vim
cents church at in the morning and \
solemn high mass at 1O:3O, with specially
beautiful music at all the services.
AT st. Johns Episcopal church Bishop
johnson preached the sermon, and

program, which was under the direction
of the organ:st, Waldo F. Chase.

ton, Adaptation and Results"

the cathedral choir, assisted by a
string orchestra and the organ.
The music was also especially ar

the East Side, and it was we'll rendered
throughout. The soprano soloist, Ulme
Ysidore Martinez, sang her numbers
very artistically; James F. Nuelle sang
the "Sanctus," which showed to good
effect his full and clear tenor voice.
Additional beauty was lent to the mass
by the violin obligato played by Signor
Dion Romandy in his most excellent
manner. His tone was full and beau
tiful. and he also played christmas

Douglass Mixture.

Douglass mixture is composed of
one ounce of copperas, one ounce of
acid and half a gallon of wa
ter 1t is recommended as a tonic for
fowls, but is really poison, and while
it's use once a week may do no harm
the practice of using it as a regular
tonic will result in the destruction of
the flock. The free sulphuric acid Coil
Of vitrioD attacks all organic sub
stances, and the fowl is no exception.
In experiments made, in which a ia
blespoonful of the mixture was added
to a gallon of drinking water, the
fowls were apparently improved in
appetite for few days but gradually
declined, and finally became weak and
debilitated. Examination of the fowls
that we're killed showed the liver to
be very large and soft, while small tu-
mors were noticed. The intestines con-
tanned red sores, as though the lining
membranes had been rubbed off. The
Threats were affected with small tu-
mors, and every portion of the bodies
seemed affected in some way. If
bird is healthy it needs no such tom
ic, and so far as Douglass mixture is
concerned it should be avoided.-Ex.

more than six or seven cents to pro-
1duce dozen eggs during these sea-
sons of the year, and so it will be
readily seen that egg farming can be
made profitable from January to De-
cember. AS it is unnecessary to keep
any males in egg farming, every fowl
should be made a source of profit.
Under good conditions, a flock of
100 young hens will lay 1,1OO dozen
eggs in year, or 1872 eggs a hen,
which at an average price of IS cents
per dozen would be $198, and as the
food would cost SIS the net profit
would be $123. In placing the profit
to be made of 100 hens at $123, the
writer not only has his own expert
ence in mind, but that of a number
of practical farmers, who, under good
conditions realize a still larger profit.
Those that make the most money out
of egg farming are the ones that give
the hens good range, and provide
corfarta BILE houses in winter; and
where land is cheap, good range can
be had for small sum, while house
that will accommodate 100 hens can
be built for $685. Milk, meat and green
food in addition to wheat, oats and
corn will keep hens laying great
deal of the time, ana will also keep
them in healthy condition.-Ameui-
can Agriculturist.
