The Additional Needs.


While the Increase as above shown
amounts to $21700S. the actual increase
over the appropriation for the current
year is s212,471, after allowance is made
for the amount of s4627 appropriated by
the last session of Congress for the pur-
chase of one aerial turntable truck to re-
place AN old truck. one new hose carriage
and flags and hallards for engine and
truck houses.
An increase is recommended in the COM
pensation of the members of thu depart
ment. This increase has been recommend
ed and received the approval of the board
of Commissioners year after year, and the
business of 1t Is so apparent that It should
be unnecessary to dwell upon it. How
ever, all that has been said and done has
been OF avail
This department compares second to ncne
in efficient work, yet its memoers receive
less pay than in other cities of the same
size and Importance. Attention is called
to the fact that they are also the Poorest
paid employees under the District govern
ment.
1t is to be hoped that the services rem
dared by the members of this department
will be rewarded by an increase of pay as
rec commended.

Additions to Force.

Daily experience demonstrates the neces-
sity for an addition of at least two as
sstant chief engineers. The department
has long since outgrown the number allow
ed by law. Upon them, to a considerable
extent. depends the success Of fire de-
partment, for, In addition to thair actual
fire duties, they are required to visit each
of the houses in their battalions daily.
This brings them in close contact with
each and every man in the department,
hencs they are the ones to maintain disci-
pine, and to see that the rules and regu-
lat:ons are rigidly enforced. Again, an as
sistant chief responds to every alarm Of
fire that is sounded. and it is to the best
interests of the city, well as to the de-
partment, that thay should arrive at the
Gene Of a fire at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Men must have exceptional skill
and experience to be succe ssful in these
positions. as they are IN full charge at
the fire In the absence of the chief engi-
neer. and upon th,m rests me responsibill-
ty of a well-worked fire.

Machinist Wanted.

A machinist in charge of repairs to ap-
paratus is another urgent need of the de-
partment. The estimate for this officer has
been made for many years. but as yet
there has been no appropriation therefor.
The engineers in charge Of the various
engines ara not necessarily machinsts,
and for the salary paid it is difficult to OBJ
tain engineers who have. sufficient mcchan-
ical skill and experience to repair or SUPER
intend the repair of such an intricate piec )
of machinery as a steam fire engine. The
department now has sixteen engines, and
an experienced machinist has become an
absolute necessity. The amount asked to
compensate this officer is but $1,15O per
annum, which amount would, without
doubt, be more than saved each twelve
months.
In addition to other duties he would be
charged with the control and direction Of
all employees assigned to duty under him.
note and report all derelictions or incom-
potency on the part Of such employees and
see that the time of the men assigned him
Is employed to the greatest advantage to
the department. He would be subject 10
the rulss and regulations governing the
department, and the orders Of the chief
engineer.
One LabOrer Added.
An appropriation of $3.50 per annum ia
asked for a laborer to take charge of the
additional stable which Is asked for in
these estimates. This would indeed be a
very reasonable compensation for man

 'We try to make it self-supporting, !" said the matron, but just now our ex- penses are very heavy and help is need ed. This is practically new home, only just opened and not yet in work ing order. We were burned out of our old Shelter last June, and have only now been able to start the new one, and things are not yet as we like them to be. When we are settled we can house twenty-eight girls"

 The particular bee within that alarming headgear was a belief that grateful House of Lords had, in con- sideration of certain services rendered by her late husband, voted the little lady a slight monetary award, a trif1e of some ten millions sterling. This vote had been passed, in her poor old head, long before the brown curls had turned to silver, and, notwithstanding the fact that she had never been able to collect penny, she never seemed to lose heart. It was all a question of time, she would assure you-time and signatures.
 My first interview with the Count ess,' of whom I had often heard, took place at the banks branch temporarily established in the Law Courts build ing. She came tripping up to the counter early one morning and, as I advanced, greeted me with a courtly bow.
 T am the Countess of Windsor. presume you are acquainted with my affairs?" she said pleasantly.
 AS regards the vote?" I suggested.
 Exactly" replied her ladyship. 'I think you will find that the documents are now perfectly in order"
 So saying she withdrew from a shab- by reticule the most fantastic-looking instrument possible to imagine. It was a parchment roll setting forth the iv,,o orrir, ofl l,o AlA sc!tpt, signed CD by an incongruous cr11d which, I remember, included the Queen, Salisbury, Harcourt, Irving and Bradlaugh, and decorated with blue ribbon to which was attached an enormous tin watch case. burlesquing the great seal of State. I learned afterward that some of the idle youngsters of Somerset House had manufactured this document, and it seemed to me sorry joke.
 "Of course, I don't want all the money down. explained the little woman, as I examined the wonderful sheet and wondered how I was going to get out of the situation creditably. T am afraid, your ladyship. that you have overlooked an important"
 T know what you're going to say" interrupted the Countess. 'I ought to have the Duke of Westminster sigma ture. One of my Government friends told me that, and I actually forgot all about it. I'll attend to it at once"
 With this she smilingly rerolled the document and began to put it back in it's rusty bag, her trembling hands showing in many places through a pair of well worn gloves. AS she turned to | go I managed to slip a coin on the counter.

 Her face frightened instantly, and she pocketed the coin, saying: ''Then you will please charge it up, sir," and with another gracious smile went off to see about the Dukes signature.

temptations of the homeless woman, and he is ready to give her a chance when he can.
 Thought I'd better bring this poor creature to you," said a burly blue coat one night, thrusting a young, sob- ping girl into the shelter; 'landlady called me to arrest her for disorderly behavior, but I don't believe it was her fault. A couple of drunken brutes had pushed their way into her room and wouldn't go out, though she was crying her eyes out about it, and of course the Iandlady sided with the men; they always do."
 What do you suppose would have happened to her after arrest for dis orderly conduct?" continued the matron. You see, there are no decent houses for girls out of work and al most penniless; the only lodging houses they can afford are vile. Oh, she is not the only one the police have saved through us; they often bring us girls they would otherwise arrest for vagrancy, or girls strolling the streets in bad company, but not evil-minded- they can tell them at once. And then there are the trunks"
 I stared. Drunken women? What on earth do you do with them?" She smiled: Would you like to see? We don't put them with the others, you know, but I think the quarters are fair ly comfortable"
 Judged by the standard of police hos pitality, I should call the quarters eX- ceptionally comfortable for drunks. A lofty room with two rows of beds staged round it like ships hunks, com | fortable, clean beds, with good mat l trasses. Stretched across the ceiling was a curious arrangement of ropes, which I eyed inquisitively. | "Conveniences for fumigation," ex- plained the matron, If you saw the state of some of them when they come in, you would understand"
 "Oh," Indeed, the said state must be pretty bad, for, after the prelimi- nary bath, which is a condition of ad- mittance, the patient" cannot some times be allowed to put on her owr raiment; the house has to provide hel with clean, wholesome attire.

G. A. ADAM.
Fovorites of Fortupe.

A commercial traveller, journeying through France, visited Monte Carlo, and fascinated by pleasure and play, fingered until he had lost at the tables all his own money and some belong ing to his employer. Greatly embar- rassed, yet reluctant to return until he had retrieved his losses, he resolved to risk the remainder of his masters money-e40-on the color most strong Iy suggested to him on the morrow.
 Next morning while walking out he found a red morocco diary; later on a child gave him a red rose; he also met several ladies robed in red. He went to the tables, placed all he pos sessed on the fateful color, and had singular success, winning back all he had lost and a very substantial sum in addition, after which he wisely de- parted.
 A Manchester merchant, by reason of a corner in cotton, found himself in serious financial straits, and des- perately needed G2000 to enable him to turn around. He was not a man of sporting proclivities, but for three nights in succession he dreamed that a certain horse had won the Derby.
 Swayed by a sudden impulse he re- alized all his available cash, amount ing to G700, went to the Derby and laid the entire amount against heavy odds on the horse of which he had dreamed. The horse proved an easy winner, and the elated merchant re- turned home richer by 95000 Singu- lar to say, neither before nor since that occasion has he ever made a bet.
 Some years since, before the Dunlop type had attained it's present popular ity, a company was being established in it's interests, and a friend of the writer was invited by an acquaintance to take a hundred 91 shares in the concern. He hesitated as to the wis., dom of so doing, but finally decided it by tossing up a penny. If heads won he would have the century of shares. Heads won. He took the hundred shares, and a few years later they were worth ESQ each, realizing profit of nearly 93000.
 A city clerk who had saved some money was eating his luncheon in a restaurant one day when he overheard two brokers at another table discuss ing the affairs of certain New Zealand mine.
 "Rubbishl" exclaimed one
 "You are right responded his com panion. 'I have 1000 shares in that concern I would sell to-day at a shil- ling each"
 Impelled by an impulse he could neither control nor explain, the clerk followed the brokers to their office. broached the matter of the New Zea- land shares, and, after some conver- sation on the subject, agreed to take the 1000 shares for 950 Six months later a boom in the said shares placed them at CT los each, and by promptly selling out the lucky clerk realized over G7000.
