Model Fire Department.


The Utica Observer of a recent date
in announcing the visit of a number
of insurance underwriters who were to
investigate the conditions in that city
with view to reducing the rates of
fire insurance, gives some interesting
data concerning the conduct of the
fire department of Utica that cannot
fail to be beneficial if contemplated in
the proper spirit by those in control
of the destinies of the fire department
of Scranton. According to the Obser-
yer the commissioners in charge of
reorganizing the fire department in
Utica have in O very brief period
transformed an ineffective volunteer
organization into one of the best paid
departments in the Empire state. The
first move in the matter was the send
ing of one of the best firemen of the
city to New York, where he received
Instruction in the school conducted by
the firemen of the most thoroughly
equipped department perhaps in the
world. Upon graduating at this school
the pupil was brought back and made
chief of the Utica department and has
since been drilling the men under him
in the use of all modern appliances for
sighting fire. Among the changes and
improvements adopted are the follow
ing:
Inauguration of a house-watch sys-

hours of the night and day.

Great Falls, Sept. 9.-The people of
LeWistown are already at work raising
money for the transportation of the
troops from this city to the business
center of the Judith basin, and there
can be no doubt that the hustling will
result in the raising of a sum sufficient
Tor the purpose. A meeting of the COM
mittee appointed to arrange for the re-
ception OF Company l met last week
and decided 20 raise at once by sub
scriptions at least 81 900 to defray the
expenses. The finance committee, con-
sisting CT 7. S. Bromley, George j.
Wledeman and DR.. Lindsay, viii soon
mail to each town in the county blank
subscriptions, and thaJ trust responses
VIII be Prompt and adequate.
While no definite arrangements can
be made until the troops reach San
Francisco, when they can be consulted,
it is now planned to bring them into
Lewistown in the morning, allowing the
afternoon for visiting their relatives
and friends, and in the evening hold an
elaborate reception, for which an appro-
pirate programme can be arranged, the
affair to conclude with handsome dis
play of fire works. Just how many will
come to Lewistown is not known, nor
will be until the boys reach this coun-
try, but several of the returned soldiers
estimate that the number will not be
over 40, several intending to remain in
the islands and others to stop at inter-
mediate points or journey East to their
near rela tiyeS.

HAVE TAPPED THE VEIN
Cheering News From the Black
Diamond.
IN THE LONG CROSS-CUT
Penetrated the Hardest Rock in the
Country for 1000 Feet-staying
Qualities Of the Roehls Did

Great Falls, Sept. s.-A cheering
piece of news comes from Neihart,
where 1t Is reported that the Black Dia-
mond force has tapped the vein in the
long cross-cdt and has broken into ore
This cross-cut has been nearly IS
months in course of construction, pene-
trating the hill a distance of 1000 feet,
and givirg about 500 feet of vertical
depth below the surface. 1t has peae-
tratsd the hardest rock to be found in
any country. most of it drilling like
flint. and when the Vein was tapped
tho boys at the Burleigh, ncting the
general loosening up Of the face, gave
shouts of intensest satisfaction. From
dry, CLASSY rock they entered a moist,
soft and talc-like substance and the
change was most refreshing.
The planning and promotion of this
work is due to the enterprise of the
Roehl family aided by F, D, Noerep-
berg of Minneapolis, who is a heavy
stakeholder In the company. But the
direct execution Of the work has been
in the hands of the Roehl boys, Paul,
Max and Hans, who stop at no obstacle
and manifest the staying quality of he
roes.

"A Breezy Time" will be at the Grand
next week. The Winnipeg Telegram in
recent issue gave the following idea
of the character of an entertainment
it is: e"
The first production of "a Breezy
Time" at the Grand theater last even
ing was witnessed by a crowded house.
and the title was well maintained a
whirlwind of fun holding the audience
from start to finish. The plot does
not cut any figure, and merely serves
to introduce the clever specialties of
the company. The different acts are
entitled ''breezes," the first introducing
a duet by Melvian and Mazette Bogue
called Daisy" which was well receiv-
ed. The second breeze is full of strik-
ing features. There is a sailor (manu-
factured) with three legs, who dances
a hornpipe amid wild applause and a
fine siX-foot rooster who also does a
dance turn. Melvian did a very clever
tramp act, which continued through
the act, evoking rounds of applause.
Another speciality was a lightning chalk
artist who executed a good picture in
an incredibly short time Daisy was
also very good, much in evidence, and
possesses great ability as a soubrette
and dancer, her numerous changes of
costume bringing out fresh charms and
placing her well TO the front in the re-
gard of the audience. The Tennis qun-
tette was very taking feature; each
member has two tennis racquets. each
trimmed with bells of particular note
the effect of their artistic playing being
very sweet and receiving a well-merit-
ed encore. The third breeze is a pink
tea, the curtain rising on the stage
prettily decorated with large roses,
each containing an electric light in its
heart, the effect being very fetching;
the ladies being attired in the prevail
ing color. Music and fun galore con-
tinues to riot through this act, the mu-
steal oddities of Miss Matte =. Smith
and j. w. Smith evoking much APP
plause. The comedians, of which there
are many, keep the breeze more than
blowing, laughter reigning supreme
and a well-cOntented audience going
home, well satisfied with the evenings
amusement. Miss Mazette Bogue as

chic and bewitching.

DOUBLED RESPONSIBILITIES.

Mr.. Croker ought to look over the new salary
list and fit 1t to his explanation Of the justice of
the Increase. When a reporter asked him about
adding TO the salaries of city officials at the
moment when the assessments are so greatly
swollen as to place a serious new burden on
taxpayers he answered:
As for the increases OF salaries. don't you
know that these officials have been getting the
salaries attached to the places in the old city
OF NewYork? Now that the city is nearly
doubled in size, the work imposed on the men is
very much greater. They are hard-working Off
Gals, critics TO the contrary Notwithstanding.
and they ought to have higher salaries accord
ingly We want TO keep good men, and that
can't be done unless we pay them.
Therefore the other day. when n new list was
published, showing salaries raised in many de-
partments, we examined it carefully, to see IL
these hard-worked officials were receiving add
tional compensation commensurate with the new
burden placed upon them by having to govern a
city twice as large as that which they were
formerly paid to govern. We must confess we
are q trihe puzzled. We find that Peter
Geraghty. a hospital helper at Gouverneur Hos
ptal, has a raise Of So month. Now, that does
not seem right. Undoubtedly Peter has TO work
twice as hard as he used in caring for the sick
Of the greater New-York. When patients flock
in from Staten Island and Flushing and Capar-
sic to be treated at Gouyerneur Hospital it Is
mockery TO give the helper only s. more a
month. Mr. Croker should at least double
Peters salary. The same remarks apply to p.
II. Smith, . nurse at the City Hospital, whose
salary is raised $500 a year What Is $40
week as pay for nursing twice as hard for the
extended city? Then there is VI. C. Dunpby,
superintendent at Randalrs Island asylums and
schools, who is to draw 500 more year. II
the enlargement OF the city has added to his
responsibilities 500 worth, it has added $1,000
worth. We also notice that ~ z. McManus, an
inspector of steamboats,. gains 500. Now, it
must be evident TO all that doubling the terri
tory of this imperial city of course doubled the
number Of steamboats, that Mr.. McAIanus had
to inspect. Therefore his salary should have
been doubled.
Mr.. Croker is too careful In these matters.
We have twice as many miles OF streets as OF
old He should give his street sweepers twice
as much. True, an individual does not sweep
any more pavement than he did under Waring
but then he has the responsibility Of thinking
how much more pavement there is to be swept
by somebody else. Besides, the political work
Of Tammany Hall to keep the Brooklyn, Rich
mond and Queens Democrats in order is largely
increased, and it ought to be literally paid for.

and to realize that no other Power can defend
them against seizure by foreign nations whose
conduct elsewhere In the East has been very
different. At Manila the people are quietly re-
turning to the city and to their avocatlons, as
sured Of full protection In all their rights, and
the improved state Of things begins to have its
natural influence upon the feelings of the in
habitaDts, who know only too well what 1t
would mean to be turned over TO the control Of
such insurgents as are now in arms.
This is tho sort of conquest that endures.
Great guns and powerful armies can only open
the door and give American civilization and
Justice n chance to win lasting attachment
Wherever the power OF the United States has
been established thus far, 60 the honor OF the
country 1t may be said, quick progress has
been made In proving to the inhabitants how
greatly its rule differs from any they have ever
known before. The equal justice and protec-
ton for all the freedom from corrupt admins
tration, the readiness 10 Invite capable and
Loyalty disposed inhabitants to aid in the direc-
ton and conduct of affairs. the Introduction Of
American capital and enterprise to rebuild and
restore, and. far better. to create nincteenth
instead OF seventeenth century civilization and
industry will tell everywhere. After little
experience under such government, II main
tanned as well as II has begun, the people or
the islands will be slow TO accept any solution
which threatens to disturb their freedom and
growing prosperity.
