Complaint is heard that too many men hold
ing important places in the Fire Department OF
the Borough of Brooklyn are stricken in years.
eOld men in council" runs the venerable maxim,
but among the fremen who are called upon to
battle with dangerous conflagratons at any
hour Of the day or night. white hairs are out OF
place In their ranks the hot blood and vigor
of youth are more necessary than in any other
branch of the public service. If Brooklyn has
many feeble veterans on its Fire Department
pay rolls they should be promptly retired.

DAVID BISPHAM IN NEW YORK.
 E. Krehbiel had the following mo- tice of Elephants last song recital in New York, and will interest his ad- mirers in this city: MT. Bispham's S recital was delightful affair and a triumph such as any artist could con- | template with pride. A bad night did not prevent him from having an au- dience almost as numerous as the au- dience room, with it's annex, could hold, and his singing gave delight of a high order His list, made up of songs from old programmes which he had been requested to repeat, mum bered seven- teen pieces, and he had to extend it, his additions being Schumann's Two Grenadiers," Cornelius "Denkst du an mich" the delicious "Quand ero un Paggio," from Verdi's Falstaff," and a Somersetshire ballad. Young Rich ard" How he pleased it is not neces- sary to say-he has disclosed his pleas- ing manners SO often; but if the testi- nony of the most musical of his hearers were taken it would probably be to the effect that the artistic high water mark was reached in Beethoven's Die Him. mel ruhmen."

HORSEMEN FROM THE DOMINION
 NORTJW WFST

Montreal, Jan. 26.--At the request of Lord Strathcona it has been decided that his regiment of four hundred horse men for South Africa shall be recruited entirely in the northwest and British Columbia. While many eastern men may feel sore that they cannot offer their services, the wisdom of Lord Strathconas choice is generally accept ed. On the plains in the northwest are many ex-mounted policemen, besides numbers of young Englishmen who have migrated thither in search of ad- venture and wealth. These men are good horsemen, and there are large numbers who offered their services for the second contingent, but had to be re- fused because the allotted number has already been obtained. Lieutenant-Col- onel Steele, an ex-officer of the mounted police, the commander of "Steele's Scouts during the last northwest rebel lion, has accepted the command of the contingent The equipment and main taining of the force will cost Lord Strathcona over $1.000,000.

INEXPERIENCED BRITISH OFFI-
 GERS

London Jan. 17.-In an account of the Modder river fight one of the Argyle and Southerland Highlanders writes:
 Most of the regiments here are full of young boys for officers, and the men don't care about them. saw some of them at Modder river fight like a lot of schoolboys shouting out orders that none of us could understand, 90 the old hands took no notice of them and went their own way as best they could. Most of the regiments are the same; the guards are the best off for officers. None of us can make out why so many young officers are sent out to take charge of old soldiers Why can't we have more of our old officers? My late captain, who left us at Aldershot, came to see us off, and we asked why he wasn't coming with us. He replied that the war office would not let him rejoin. He was good man. We should not have lost half the men we had if we had had old CT officers.
 We were good brigade if we had not been messed up, and if only Wauchope had been left to handle us himself. This is terrible war, and God only knows how it will end

THE ICE PROSPECT.

The irregularity of the weather this winter has interfered seriously with the locas Ice supply. It is predicted that if the present cold snap does not continue dealers will be obliged to bring ice from Maine The ice at Lake Whitney is an uncertain quantity. Only a small por- ton has as yet been harvested.
 The ice companies are said to have sufficient of last seasons supply tp last until May 1. If the present climatic conditions do not improve immediately next summers ice will probably be scarce and expensive.

AN OIL STOVE BLAZE.
Mrs. D. F. Andrews Badly Burned Yes
 terday Morning.

terday Morning.
 Mrs Elizur F. Andrews was badly burned about the face and head yester- day morning by fire that occurred at the home of Mrs. Marie l.. Walker, 79 Greenwich avenue, at o'clock.
 Mrs. Walker is sick, and an oil heater was kept going during the night to keep the temperature of the room right dur ing the cold snap. In some way the carpet and furniture of the room caught fire, and the nurse, Mrs. Andrews, was unable to put out the blaze despite her heroic efforts.
 As a result of her attempts she was burned about the hands and arms. Failing to put out the fire quickly, an alarm was sent in and the firemen were summoned A dash of chemicals and the removal of the blazing heater were sufficient to put it out. The damage will probably amount to about $25.
 Mrs. Walker, the sick woman, was of course much overcome and was at once removed from the room. The house IS owned by Edward Hine.

Their fire can be seen at this distance and ap- pears to be very effective.
