a man to the blaze, vast volumes of water
can be poured into the structure at the
place of greatest need. Recent experiments
In this city have sought to develop the re-
liability of a makeshift device to take the
place of the tower. but with slight success.
1t is neither desirable nor necessary that
this city should put up with a questionable
substitute for an important piece of appa-
ratus. Washington deserves and should ac-
cept only the best in every department CT
municipal administration. 1t need not ex-
pertinent prodigaly with every new con-
trivance, but those appliances which have
found favor elsewhere and which commend
themselves to competent investigators as
desirable should promptly be adopted. 1t is
incidentally interesting in connection with
these water tower tests 20 learn that the
IRE alarm wires in The vicinity were broken
by the extension ladder which served as a
substitute tower. Fire fighters fully ap-
preclate the force of the plea for the burial
OF all the wires. No city is fully equipped
Tor combating the devouring element, WHAT
ever may be its fire department efficiency in
general, which suffers a single electrical
conductor to remain in the air.

The Woes of Mr.. AsfOr.

Apropos of Mr.. William Waldorf Astor's

Water Towers.

Washington is rather tardy in taking up
the question of adding water tower to
the fire lighting appliances in vogue here
This device is highly regarded elsewhere
and has often proved its worth in emer-
gencies which have defied all ordinary
means of quenehing flames. The steady
growth of buildings skyward has added
seriously to the problem of fire protection
in large cities, and though Washington has
wisely kept the attitudes within reason yet
there are now in use and in course of con-
struction buildings so high that the ordi-
nary hose would be of questionable value in
case of fire. But IL does not require great
height to justify the use of the water tow
er. Many occasions arise when the flames
are too fierce for human approach, partic-
uiarly in the upper portion of a building
A water tower can be connected with the
steamers and pushed within reach of the
blazing walls, and then, without exposing

Better Than Lynchinr.
From the Chicago Record.

FROM the Chicago Record.
In Maryland last week four negroes were
executed in lawful manner for committing
a crime for which lynching by unlawful and
murderous mobs is the common punishment
IN some states farther south. Georgia
which has been disgraced during the la
few days by the doings of frenzied mobs
of lynchers, might study with profit the
methods OF Maryland in dealing with negro
criminals. In the latter state the crime is
punished as effectively as in Georgia and
the influence of the punishment upon the
criminal element is wholesome. The savage
avenging by criminal methods of a Criminal
act is not nearly so impressive to possible
lawbreakerS as Is deliberate conviction and
execution in accordance with the regular
forms of law.
The influence of the lyncher's form of
punishment is demoraliZing on the entire
community. Georgias method of brutaliz-
ing whole neighborhoods by the atrocities of
fiendish mobs calls for martial law and sum-
mary punishment of the bloodthirsty
wretches who hack men to pieces after tor
turing them with medieval feroeity.

Inc craftsmanship of other days
Where are its mighty splendors now
Where are the men we loved to praise.
Each with a laurel on his brow?
Where are the men whose power was sucb
That cities rose in wild acclaim,
Like rocks beneath an Orphean touch.
At simple mention of a name?
No titles Haunted through the air
They posed as neither earl nor duke
Plain men of force Yet where. ah whore
Are great Dink Bolts and Pod Dismuke ?
The last of his exalted kind,
Rienzi-like, he waits the dawn,
Mid ruins which time leaves behind
For all that's left Is Bath-house John.

THE MASTER WORknAN
By Rf. Rev. FredericLs). Huntingdon.
 D. D. L. L. Q.

My Father worketh hitherto, and work St John v; IT,
 Along with the dignity of man ycJ hear, and nowadays hear often, of tht dignity Of labor You like to hear o
 t.s beccrse you are workingmen. Yot
 are glad to have your work lifted int
 honor, and yourselves with it. And
 my friends, you can be raised to hOnCl i in no other way.
 Shall we say that man is a working
 animal? Better than that, he is work | ing brain, working will working con
 science, working heart Of faith and
 love, all in one Whatever in you lives, lives by action. Whatever in
 you is inactive is the dying part. Life and labor are correlated. The labor questions, then, are vital questions. i They are not surface questions, or ,f--r'ay quaI41crs, CT Queelll0nls of a day, or questions of pass:on- They reach high and wide and deep. They are perplexing in .he:r difficulty and awful in their greatness, Tor the very reason that labor is life.
 Yes, fearful questions, but the ques- tion whether labor is a blessing or q curse is not one of them. It IS a curse only whsn there is something horribly wrong about it, wrong in the man that dCes it, wrong in the man that exacts it. "Get us rid of work will never be the watchword' of a noble reform. Even the reduction of work would be a sec ondary good! Thousands of tired and sleepless capitalists would be thankful to even their hours of labor with their wOrkmen at the factory or railway, in the forge, the mine, the field It was the Master Workman, looking with tender and gracious sympathy on all the workshops of the world, the great Capitalist, owning all the Kingdoms, yet the SerYanq who washed the feet Of the doubter, the denier and the trai- tor, who silenced his accusers by the lcfty confession, My Father worketh, and I work" A release from labor saves no soul, makes no man manly, no woman womanly. In high man sions and low saloons, at she top and the bottom of the city of much rotten wealth and much reckless poverty, laziness damns a great many in tti5 world and the world to come That is one of the first words of Christianity
 Workingmen want their rights and sooner CT later they will have them, because there is one throne Of which justice and judgment are the eternal foundation. But think how much that word rights means, and how large is the court, and how many are the decisions, and how lcng the sls-i.tcn, whence you must gather the definition. That thing has many sides. Violate the law in getting what you believe to be your rights" and you maim the hand by which alone rights can be secured or defended. So do you want liberty, and sooner CT later you will have it, for God
 Will take the sun out of the sky
