The year Just passed will be memoir
able I'm the history of the Scranton fire
department. Many improvements ana
innovations have been introduced dur
ing the last twelve months.
or the Innovations the still alarm
system introduced for the first time
in Scranton has proved very sue
cessful. Where previously the small
est fire would startle the whole
cigy by the blowing of a number OF
disagreeabe whistles, now the alarm
is sounded from the court house bell
and only under certain conditions are
the gongs used. The public alarms
would be done away with entirely II II
were not for the volunteer contingent
CT fire fighters in this city. As II Is, as
Chief =. j. Hickey stated recently the
city can only look forward for w TO
bring about paid department in the
Third dstrict--centrll citN--at least.
OF the notable improvements were
the building and tonanting Of the Nay
Aug company's house, the new combi-
nation and chemical wagon for the
Columbias. The efficacy of the chemi-
cal method of fighting fires has been
demonstrated during the year by the
great work done by the one engine in
the central city in charge of the
Phoenix company's three permanent
men, Campbell. George and Tillman.
The records show that one-siNth of the
fres during the year We're kept under
control by the Chemical company
alone.
THE STILL ALARMS.
The number Of still alarms sent in by
telephone to the company has increas-
ed remarkably during the year. -Four

month--December During the year
there were in all l6 still alarms. Add
ed 70 the II false alarms, tests, and
SO regular calls, the total Is l3O re-
sponses by the department for the
year.
The biggest fire was the destruction
of the Illuminating Heat and Power
company's plant on January 81. The
damage was $4,000. In this case the
firemen met with great difficulty ow-
ing to the peculiar location of the
burning building. Tie next largest
fire was that at Alex. Dunn's gent s

OCCASIONALLY come IL anu sc, another
glimpse of the mad vortex OF public life

coming summer, going to return to see

arranging beautiful bunch of flowers
that had just been sent to her, and hold

and slight of build No one would give
her credit for having climbed the Chill
koot as early as the spring of 1894 and of
Drawing the perils and terrors of the i'll
terror of Alaska when strong men
shrank from the trip. She was born of
German and English parentage in New
York city aud climbed the Alps before
the age of IA.
Miss Lyons was educated in Philadel-
phia, being graduate Of the Girls Nor
NAL school. She was great chum of
her father, and together they visited
many clincs shrinrs and ruins. His
ideas, thoughts and descriptions no
doubt had much influence over her later
life. She says that when in early wo-
manhood She stood on the summit of
Chiikoot pass and alone, enjoyed its
grandeur and subimity she sorrowed
that he who had stood on the pinnacle
of so many mountains with her was
not there to voice his admiration and
enjoy that wonderful sight.
Miss Lyons. although boasting some
of the bluest blood of England in her
veins, is thoroughly American in her
tastes, desires and habits, and in her
lectures lays great stress OH the fact that
Alaska, the American land of the mid
night sun, is well worthy the attention
OF the tourist. Miss Lyons declared that
life. Her perfect health she attributes
mainly to her outdoor exercises. She is
fond of both the wheel and horseback
riding and is an untiring walker.
She is pleasant, magnetic and in
teresting talker and, being "A great
traveller and OF an observing nature, of
course has quite il fund Of interesting
information at her command. She is
very much interested in the Cuban ques-
ti0n, also that of the Russian refugees
and becomes much enthused on either
of these subjects.
She has just finished il story of Mary
Tudor, known as Bloody Mary of Eng.
land. When asked why of all known
wOmen.sh chose her as the heroine of
her novel, Miss Lyons said 'Poor
Mary! So little queen, SO much
weak woman, | dug her out Of forgotten
history | have wiped away the blood,
brushed tho cobwebs from her mind,
enveloped her with all all absorbing
love, and consequently some heroisnl,
and have surprised even myself with
the woman that l have portrayed. She
is now at work upon an Eskimo 10.
nance. She calls it 1.-The Eskimo Slave
Girl"
Miss Lyons has quite collection Of
pets. She is very fond Of dogs, her libra.

al interesting cabinet of curios. When
asked whether she preferred public or
domestic life, she answered quickly,

Lucky for Harvey.

Chamberlain. :. D.-CommiSsiOner
Hermann, of the general land office,
has rendered Il decision OF vital i,r-
portance to settlers on lands In Greg
DRY county, situated on the Nebraska
side in the Chamberlain land district.
The decision grows out of the applica-
ton of William $. Harvey. a Gregory
county settler. for an extension of time
in which to make payment of the pur-
chase money for his land. The COM
missioner decided that the payment is
not due the government until 1904
eight years from the date Of entry.
Harvey obtained the land by contest
ing former occupant. In his final
proof he showed settlement upon and
cultivation of the land, from Feb. 10,
1892. to April 8, 1898. the date on
which proof was submitted. BY rea-
son Of the contest he was not able to
make entry until Jan. 20, 1897. Proof
was therefore submitted fourteen
months and ten days after date of en-
try. The commissioner Of the general
land Office decides that under Section,
2291. Revised Statutes, Harvey is not
required to make proof until Jan. 80,
1904.

An impressive ceremony took place
recently at the largest Lutheran
church in this country. when, in the
presence of over two thousand mem
bers, the pastor and trustees destroyed
a Cancelled mortgage Of thirty thou
sand dollars upon the church property.
The document was torn into as many
pieces as there were officers, and at
given signal each held his piece In the
flame of candle till 1t was consumed,
the pastor exclaiming. 80 perish all
mortgages on Gods property When
nothing but the ashes remained, the
people rose and with glad hearts sang
the Doxology. Doubtless few of those
present remembered the historical pre-
cedent: In the year 1852 Henry III
with the Gospel in one hand and
lighted taper In the other, swore to
observe the Magma Charta. The arch
bishop and prelates and the king him
self dashed their candles on the
ground, while each dignitary closed
his nostrils and his eyes against the
smoke and smell, with the words, so
go out with smoke and stencil, the ac-
cursed souls of those who break or
pervert the Charter" to which all re-
piled, Amen and Amen" but none
more loudly than the king.

During the last outbreak OF cholera
in Korea, the American missionaries
established free hospital, where the
care of house and patients was largely
placed upon the native converts. One
aristocratic Korean came to the hos

something he could do. There Is
nothing now except to mop noors,"
was the gentle reply; though that is
continually needed" The native turn
ed on his heel, but at the door paused
