an army of trained soldiers, with prop

European countries in a year. That Is

The details of the new reforms are
as follows. They were obtained from
the new American chief of police:
THE city will be divided into four po-
lice districts and the men will patrol
from the brow of the hill on the north
to the harbor on the south. No police
man will be allowed to smoke or drink
while on duty, and loafing in cafes and
other resorts will not be tolerated for
an instant. Policemen will be instruct
ed to politely answer all requests for
information. Gossiping with citizens
will be forbidden. Three men will be
detailed to the tenderloin district of the
city. and I intend that order shall be
maintained there at any cost. I may
decide to clean out this district entire
ly. The good old police phrase, move
on. there will be extensively used by
my men. The natives here have habit
OF standing on the narrow Sidewalks
and gossiring for hours at a time.

IS my intention to regulate this.
For the present my men will only

will consider it my duty, and I will is
sue orders to this effect, to suppress
gambling wherever found. There will be
no more publicly run-or privately run.

ANOTHER FIRE CHECKED.
Good Work of the Dep ,rtment Prevents

At about Il a. m. yesterday the fire.
bell once more warned the people that
The city was in danger. At the time
most of the church going people were
attending services, and unfortunately
for the pastors of the respective con-
gregations the collection had not been
taken up. This did not prevent the
faithful from Immediately crowding

ger and the ministers of the gospel
suffered in consequence
1t was found that a fire had
started in the roof OF Charles S :hmidt's
residence in the west end, and although
il was sJme time before sufficient
number arrived to help the depart
ment out the Jackson's had stream
on from the hydrant back of the
Sisters academy before the fire
hadgaiaed mach headway. Shortly
afterwards the Columbia had their
hose attached to the engine from the
cistern on third street near the
Catholic church. Willing hands
worked diligently and in less than
half hour the fire was out. Shortly
before the fire started one Of the fiues
burned out and it was thought at the
time, since there was some snow On the
roof, that there was no danger. Part
of the roof was bare as the sun had
thaweo the thin covering of snow aud
the sharks falling on the dry shingles
were soon famed into a blaze.
AS yet the damages has not been
fully estimated and it is thought that
two hundred dollars will cover the
same. The fire was in such position
that little damage was done by the
flames, the most resulting from the
water. Sunday seems to be great
day for fires in The Dalies as the
majority of the alarms recently turned
in have been on Sunday while the big
fire of last summer occurred on Sunday
night.
Many compliments have been paid
to George Wentworth on account of
the service rendered both at the Co
lumbia Hotel fire and that of yester-
Gay. Being a first class lineman and
climber he goes in places where others
would fear to venture and at both of
these fires he was thoroughly soaked
with the icy cold water and he stands
it all without murmer until all dam
ger is past. Yesterday his clothing was
frozen stiff when the fire was put out
while icicles were hanging from his
clothing in abundance so cold was the
weather.

bids fair to be great year in Pennsyl-

boom and politics is 'dead sure" to be
lively; the General Assembly is now in
session and its doings will be of interest,
and the masses want to keep posted. A
good way to do this is to subscribe for
the great daily paper-the Pittsburg
