the conduct of the war by the admins
tration is being criticised from all sides
save and except small minded and
bindly partisan sheets such as the In
teliigencer, which ever places partisan
ship above patriotism and does not
hesitate to subordinate the interests OF
few selfish politicians to the inter
ests of the ration in this
war. To prove that criticism
of the administrations conduct
of the war is general and non-partlsan
we need only point to the fact that our

On this it comments as follows:

Speaking of Bull Run reminds one of
another disaster, one that has just
happened and which was due not to
the critics, of whom the old lady COM
plains so loudly, who have been urging
the administration on to prompt and
decisive action, but to that very beard
of strategy OF whose ability the old
girl seems to think so highly. which
has been pulling ON the administra-
tons coat tails and confusing things
SC that Washington is all at sea. This
unfortunate circumstance is that, de-
spite the work of the Washington
''strategists,' Admiral Ceryera's fleet
has managed in the easiest manner to
evade Sampson and enter Santiago de
Cuba, where 1t can now supply the
Spanish army there with the ammuni-
ton and supplies it has so long and so
sorely needed, thus multiplying much
that has been accomplished up to date
by the boosted peaceful blockade.
This is a very fair sample, indeed.
of the work of our board of strategy"
at Washington, which the witless old
woman of Fourteenth street lauds SO
highly as a body of experts etc. In
deed. it is said that the President, him
self. as ignorant as he is OF methods
OF warfare. is already deeply disguised
with the work of the so-called strate
gists, which has resulted in nothing
but confusion and delay Ii he is wise

THE FlREMANlS LIFE.
The Spectacular side of zt Doubtless
 Has Strong Attractions.


 Has Strong Attractions.
 Doubtless there is some hing in the spectacular side of it that attracts. It would be strange if there were not. There is everything in a fireman's eX- 'istence to encourage it. Day and night he leads a kind of hair-trigger life, that feeds naturally upon excitement, even if only as q relief from t1e irksome idling in quarters. Try as they may to give him enough to do there, the time hangs heavily upon his hands, keyed up as he is, and need be, to ad- yenturous deeds at shortest notice. He falls to grumbiing and quarreling, and the necessity becomes imperative of holding him to the strctest discipline, under which he chafes impatiently. ''They nag like a lot of old women, . said Department Chief Bonner to me once; "and the best at a fire are often the worst in the house" In the midst of it all the gong strikes familiar signal. The horses hoofs thunder on the blanks; with q leap the men go down the shining pole 10 the main floor, all else forgotten; and, with crash and chatter and bang, the heavy engine swings into the street, and races away or q wild gallop, leaving trail of fire behind.
 Presently the crowd sees rubber coated, heimeted men with pipe and hose go through window from which such dense smoke pours forth that it seems incredible that a human being could breathe it for a second and live. The hose is dragged squirming over the sill, where shortly a red-eyed face with disheveled hair appears to shout some thing hoarsely to those below, which they understand Then, unless some emergency arise, the spectacular part is over. Could the citizen whose heart beat as he watched them enter, see them now, he would see grimy shapes, very unlike the fne-looking men who but just now had reused his admiration, crawling on hands and knees. with their noses. close to the floor if the smoke be very dense, ever pointing the pipe" in the direction where the ene- my is expected to appear.

Some Of the Many Interesting
 Points of Francis Wilson.
The KIondiISe Fever Has Firm Hold OH the People of Greater New YorI4-Many kinGs of
 Dinners.
LCopyright, 1s9s.I

New York, Feb. 10.-And so Francis Wilson has taken up with the theat- rical trust, in spite of all the talk that has been made about his disincination to be a party to any combine. Yet l, for one, am not surprised at this change of front.
 Wilson has many interesting points besides his legs, unapproachable though they may be. His love for first edi- tions and for rare and unique books is the cause of a great deal of comment among his friends, and his library is a joy to bibiomaniacs. 1t contains many volumes of great value from the col lector's viewpoint, and some, like his Jefferson book, that could not be du- plicated for money or any other con- sideration.
 Perhaps this Jefferson book is the most valuable of these. It is in manu- script and is prized very highly by the comedian. It was written day by day during the tour of the famous "all star" combination of which both Will son ard Jefferson were members a few years ago, and consists entirely of notes of Jefferson's remarks upon events cur rent at that time. and his answers to questions put by Wilson.
 JeRersOn's Frank Opinion.
 For instance, Mary Anderson's book was issued while the tour was in prog ress. Wilson asked Jefferson what he thought of it, and the answer was full and comprehensive; it would make mighty interesting reading for the pulp lie, and Wilson wrote it all out and had
