Butte i'm Bad shape If Two Fires Occur
neutrality-suspicious. FIannery Idea.

Simulta Flannery Idea.
Chief of the Fire Department Elan
merry intends to ask the city council to
increase the fire department, and will
submit his proposition TO the fire COM
mittee, which meets to-day 1t has al
ways been Chief F'lannery's contention
that the department was not large
enough to cope with a big fire If one
should occur, and he is not alone in the
opinion, for a great many business men
agree with him as well as the people in
the outlying district, especially the peo-
pie of South Butte. and Chief F'lannery
has decided to ask for more equipment
and men. His idea is To establish two
more fire stations. one at South Butte
and one on the east side, probably in
East Park street. with combination
chemical and hose wagon and fve men
for each. 1t is argued by those who ia
vor the plan that the increased expense
would be more than offset by the re-
duction in insurance rates and the added
safety to property. Chief F'lannery will
go before the fire committee to-day and
present his views. In speaking OF his
plans yesterday the chief said:
No one will deny that the fire depart
ment is not more than half large enough
for a city the size of Butte. There Is
not a city anywhere of this size With 50

JOHNSON HELPED HIMSELF.
Went Down Into the Basement and Swiped
Five Boxes of Cigars.

Charles Johnson, young man en-
ployed as a ''swamper" around saloons,
was arrested by Police Captain Dawson
this morning about / o'clock on a
charge of burglary for stealing five
boxes of cigars from Pincus' ware
house in South Main street. The man
who has charge of the steam heating
of the building, the main floor of which
is occupied by a saloon in which John
son worked. saw him come into the
basement and carry out the cigars.
Thinking the action looked peculiar he
investigated the matter and found a
packing case had been broken open and
the cigars taken. He reported to Cap
tain Dawson and the man was soon in
custody. Another young fellow named
John Below was also taken into Gus
tody on suspicion that he knew where
or how Johnson disposed of the cigars,
but he apparently knew nothing of the
theft

Latest Fashion Notes of interest - To Women From Various Sources

Some of the modern fichus are permitted to- have .aends long enough to reach the feet in front and jabot down over the skirt with exquisite grace On a decol- lete ball gown this effect is entrancing, for the ffchu is caught the left by giant rose camelia or pansy, while on the right it is held to corsage by superb jewel. Hs The rumor is that dfchus are not only to be the rage on summer gowns, but that on wash-dresses we are to see them match ing the gowns, with very short ends. a mere sailor knot at the best. Bodices are to be demi-decolete underneath.
 Every ball and evening gown seen is embroidered in some way or another. Day dresses, too, are also embroiderer, but in a different manner. The evening dresses show paillettes, strass, pearls and cabo- is done on velvet, silk, muslin and lace, incrusted and cut out in motifs in every variety.
 The furore for the Russian blouse shows no signs of abatement, while boleros also are still iiourishing, in spite of the rumor of their extinction. From the early spring models it seems that the combination of dark blue and dull green is again making a bid for favor.
 Skirts are getting tighter every day; they are made to hang in clinging folds, and the more they cling in at the hem the better and the more fashionable is the ap- pearance of the wearer. Belts are still much in. evidence and well to the fore on all the latest coats; it is also a noticeable fact that all the newest coats boast col lars of one sort or another, preferably in- clining to the sailor shape at the back.
 Hats get lower and lower; they are now half the size they were at the beginning of the season. Not only are the brims very fiat, but the trimming is still 6atter. For

PRAISES THE AGE-HERAlD.
Comments 1t for Its Position on Educationa
 Interests.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 It is with much pleasure I notice The Age Herald is not insensible to the edu- cational interests of the state.
 It must be pleasing to many who real ize the value of schooling to see their newspaper devote portion of it's editorial columns to the school interests.
 To stand for what is right, or against what is wrong, in our school system means to stand by that which is of the utmost importance to individual and state.
 Newspapers generally devote a great deal of space to chronicling and discuss ing the commission of crime, court pro- ceedings, political movements, industrial and manufacturing developments, but to education they do not devote even a small portion of their attention.
 A live newspaper cannot overlook the fact that the reduction of crime, the proper direction and wise consummation of political movements, the rapid and stable development of all industries are dependent upon education and it will stand as openly and persistently for right and progressive educational systems as it does for anything else in any other line.
 The Age-Herald is appreciated and ap- plauded.

Women as Mosaic Workers
 In the United States

Speaking of art clubs naturally brings to mind what women are accomplishing as Mosaic artists.
 The magnificent new public library at Chicago has been decorated largely by women, and the exquisite mosaics which beautify its walls and band it's arches like brilliant jewels were nearly all exc cuted by feminine fingers. This work will stand for generations a monument to woman's artistic genius, and to Der un- Tagging energy.
 The New York Tribune calls attention to the fact that whereas women have almost monopolized the art of making mosaics for number of years in this country, the fact has been rarely commented upon. The Tiffany Glass and Decorating com pany first employed women realizing that as a rule they had finer color sense: also that they were reader with their fingers. In the establishing of mosaic studios in America the securing of artists to carry out the designers ideas was one of the greatest difficulties to be overcome At first it seemed as if the only thing to do was to bring artisans from Europe but there were objections to this course the chief one being that the men had certain traditions and methods, which they were not inclined to give up. In the face of these truths Louis c. Tiffany decided that women might possibly be trained for the work Under the directions of Mrs. Clara Wolcott Driscoll, the present head of the mosaic department at Tiffany's, a num- , Der of young women were trained in the T art, and soon they were in full possession of the field. Mrs. Driscoll is undoubtedly . the first woman in the world to become an accomplished mosaiclst. About twenty women are now employed in the mosaic department. Most of them are graduates of New York art schools. They are now

SOCIALISTS CAUSE 4 R|OT A Band Entered the Chamber of
 Deputies. CONFLICT WITH SOLDIERS A Desperate Hand-to- Hand Fight Ensued and the Chamber Adjourned After Defeat
 ing a Socialist Motion.

Brussels, Jan. 25.-Deputy Demblon en- tered the vestibule of the chamber of depu- ties thds afternoon, accompanied by a band of socialists. The officer dn command of the guard informed him that, in pur- suance of the presidents order he could not. be allowed to enter, whereupon M. Demblon raised cries of "vive Parmee," "vie la republique."
 A crowd collected and attempted to rush the soldiers with the result that there was a violent scuffie, troops withstanding the mob with fixed bayonets and hand to hand fight taking place between the so- cialists and and-socialhts For time the tumult was indescribable, and a strong body of police was required to quen the disorder.
 Within the chamber of deputies the great est excitement also prevailed. The social
 st deputies demanded to know who wae responsible for the violence of the so- cialists toward the soldiers. The tumult became deafenng and the ministers who attempted to reply were shouted down. | There was further uproar in the house when one of the Questers declared that he was responsible for the presence of troops in the chamber, adding as warning to the socialists that he would always do his duty against them. M. Vanderveldt, socialist denounced President Beernaert for calling him a 'fighting man." whereupon the president suspended the sitting amid great disorder.
 When business was resumed the presi- dent made a speech justifying the action taken against the socialists wheneupon M. Vanderyeidt again rose and uttered a yio- lent tirade against the Questers and asked who had ordered the socialists to be threshed?"
 After further disorders, the chamtkr rejected by vote of S6 to 29 a socialist motion condemning the action of the off, cers of the house.
