1t looked for a moment like the ball

tact OF the Chair Quilted things once
more, and as a result of a good deal of
talk the Chief didn't 60.
Then came the question: of new hose,
for which $4,000 was set apart in the
annual appropriation bill. The Chief
said there was about $500 feet of strict
ly first-class hose, which was not near
ly enough; the old hose was always
giving out, and the matter should be
attended to. As a result of good deal
more talk the Committee Clerk was in
structed to ask for proposals from man
ufacturers for between 1900 and 5000
feet Of hose, bids to close on the 23rd.
The appropriation will probably pro-
cure about $500 feet. as the price for
the best make will closely approximate
so cents per foot. in the opinion of the
Chief, although fire hose can be bought
as low as 40 cents per foot
The Committee spent the remainder
of the evening in the consideration Of
miscellaneous matters, including the
annual repairs and purchases for the
various engine houses.

FoR THE COURIER:
Last Friday evening the Tourist club,
which is department OF the Schuyler
Woman's club. gave q reception in the
Odd Fellows lodge rooms, to their
friends and the Woman's club and q
very pleasant. social event it was. The
club takes up the different countries of
the world as studies and 20 becomes a
body Of tourists in mind only. Having
just completed Greek History, the mem
bers-who are all young ladies-appear-
ed with their hair dressed in Grecian
style, in fact most Of the program OF the
evening was taken from Grecian litera-
ture.
The address Of welcome by tho presi-
dent, Miss Washburn, was in her usual
happy style.
Roll call-Quotations from Greek au-
thors.
Cupid and Psyche-Story read by
Mis- Daisy Bolton; tableaux by Misses
Helen Bryant and Margaret Palmer;

music by trio of piano, violin and cornet.
Pygmalion and Galatea-Story read
by Miss Emma McRae; tableaux by
Misses Sara Nieman and Judah How
ard; music by Miss Alma Woods on
piano.
These tableaux accompanied by the
stories and the music we're very en-.
chanting and artistic.
After more vocal and instrumental
music, delicious refreshments we're ser.
we'd in the banquet hall, and a most en-
joyable evening spent
The officers of the Tourist club are:
Misses Washburn, president; Sara Me
man, vice-president; Anna Long, secre-
tary; Alma Woods, treasurer. The men,
bership consists of about thirty very
active workers. This department is a
credit to the Schuyler Woman's club, Of
which it lie very proud.
This makes me think OF what Jules
Lemaitre wrote, propos OF Madam
Daudet, about the literary style Of
women in gene. al. He says that with
us sensation passes Immediately into
sentiment. A woman sees bird singing
on the branch Of tree, for instance, he
says, and an average one Of them would
write about it, Among the leaves the
bird pours forth its joyous note" This
is inartistic, because, to begin with, the
leaves and the song reach the mind at

Joe Stein Of Seneca, was struck in
the mouth by ball thrown by a
fellow player a day or so ago and
received terrible injuries from the
force Of the blow. Several teeth
were knocked loose but none OF them
will be lost The chin was cut from
the mouth almost to the lower part
and the cash required number of
stitches. The injuries were very
painful but will soon heal with the
good care they will receive.
Engineer Reeves of the factory
has also required the attention of a
physician. He was poisoned from
eating ice cream on Saturday night
and one time was in a dangerous
condition, but he is now thought to
be out of danger and will soon be at
his post again. Dr. Charles McLane
