The republican convention at
Fargo this weekis being watched
with a great deal of interest by
the fusion folks who hope to see
their republican opponents make
some unwise nominations for state
officials hoping thereby to gain
some political headway. 1t is u
hopeless case for our fusion
friends this year, however. SO
they might as we'll rejoice in the
general prosperity of the country
and look pleasant.

suMksM VILLAGE IN NEW YoaK
II Is Right in the city,. Heart, Yet Few
Know II.

AnoW ~.
There is in the heart of New York
city a quaint. picturesque little village
that few have seen.
This community, which numbers over
so inhabitants, lees west of the boule-
ward. its principal lane runs from Six
ty-first to Sixty-second street. Few
of h thousands who pass IL guess its
presence. Its curious. old-fashioned
houses stand so far below the street
that their chimneys scarcely rise to
the level Of the sidewalk. and the whole
is surrounded by high fences plaster
ed with gaudy posters.
The sunken village might have slum-
bered in this quiet retreat undiscover-
ed had its Inhabitants not been rude
ly awakened one day last week by a
fire. The little wooden houses are so
closely crowded together that a fire
would soon destroy them all. The viii
layers have recognized this and ave
organized a little fire company of their
own. Pals of water have always been
kept standing to meet such an emer-
gency.
The fire started near the center of
the village in the house OF John Geb-
hardt. where the family had retired
on Friday night, leaving a lighted lamp
on the kitchen table. During the night
the cat overturned the lamp and il set
the house on nre.
When the flames We're discovered
the volunteer fire department rushed
to the rescue. Meanwhile a neignbor
the way saw the lanes and smoke and
in a towering apartment house across
sent in the alarm.
The first engine o the scene was No.
40. Captain C~osgrove. The position of
the village presented difficulties. The
firemen scurried around the fence look
ing for an opening. The sunken village
boasts an entrance on the boulevard.
but this was not known until last week.
The entrance IL through a door which
opens as IL by magic in a huge buck
wheat poster and when closed IL would
never be suspected. In the end the fire
was controlled.
The population is mostly composed
of Germans. Most of them have lived
in the sunke village for many years.
Several of the little cottages are YER
liable homesteads. The oldest inhabi-
tants are the Joyces. Werners and Geb-
hardts.
