FROM THE FIRST WARD.

James Ii. Reynolds spent last week
in Boston, Mass, attending the nation
al convention of the Ancient Order of
Hiberians. He is the State Secretary
of the Order.
The Hibernia Drum and Fife Corps
has purchased new drums and flies,
and now stand ready for any engage
ment that happens their way.
Jimmie, acknowledge the bet, and
place it on file.
Having enjoyed a whole lot of poor
health and any amount of physical dis
ability within my sweet-brown skin,
and being we'll acquainted with the
great army Of jobs comforters who
have no other mission on earth but to
comfort the sick, and throw their
whole soul into the work with such
good effect that they knock the soul
out of their poor sick victims, | know
them to be job lot of comforters, and
no mistake, who Just tip themselves
over and let the very soul-butter and
spiritual smear case ooze out and slob-
her over their sick friends, like big

The fire at the spoke factory on
Tuesday of last week gave the Hibernia
fire laddies quite big run, but they
got there Just the same, on time, and
were all ready for business, although
the fire was under control when they
arrived upon the scene. Neyerthe-
less, the boys deserve credit for their
promptness 'when duty calls" These
men are mostly employed in the diff
ferent factories and II. Il. shops, but
there is an understanding with them
and their employers that in case of an
alarm, they can all drop their work
and go to the fire. This il rs il should
be, and what little these manufacturing
companies or shops lose on this ac-
count, may ut any time be paid hun
dred fold. The fire arrangements are
pretty complete, although there could
be some improvement, as when an
alarm of fire is struck sometimes 1t is
difficult to locate the exact direction i'll
which it is, and the blowing of the
whistles helps to complicate the diff
ficulty. There should be some alarm
connected with tho different mills and
factories, or some other arrangement,
TO simplify the code Of alarms. We
think it would be to the credit and
ability of our worthy chief to call to-
gother his assistants and delegation
from each company, and adopt n new
code of alarms,
