Mixed Metaphor.

The dictionaries will find a rich prize
of mixed metaphor in Recorder Gof's
charge to the Molineux jury. In dis
cussing the value of circumstantial ev-
idence, he said: "The law would be
powerless if exclusive reliance were to
be placed in the testimony OF eye wit
nesses." Then, continuing. he told
what the law must do, mixing three
metaphors in an amusing manner.
Said the learned Judge: THE law
rdist look for the footprints, the drop
ped stitches which are fingerposts of
the crime" Footprints and drop
ped stitches" becoming "fngerposts"
is quite task for material objects,
even in the free and easy poetic land
Of metaphor. But the jury unques-
tionably got the Recorders point of
view and that. after all, was the es-
sential thing aimed at.-Philadelphla

UGLY BOMB FIRED
 NEAR G|TY'S CENTER Internal Machine Exploded
 Before a Store.
MYSTERY SPROUDS ALL
A.Gshri .tartIed bV Ond Report In Front of nIs shop. InVesti- gates strange Deed.

A. Gehr. the tinSmith and hardware dealer on State near Seventh, is spending much of his time just now explaining strange experience 10 his friends and won Jering whether Or not Sl<agway is lnieSt- ei with bomb throwers. What seems Co have been an infemal machine was Sei oti in front Of his store. He was standing at the shelves at the time taking invoices, and was SO surprised by the report that he immediately began making investigation. InaSmuth as he lives with his family up stairs over hlS store, he thought probably some member Of the family had leit a lamp there and that it had exploded, but investigation proved not.
 Then he looked into the street in front of his store. All he saw there was a small blaze in the snow; but this aroused his curiosity. and he made an examination. lie found that a strange looking wad was the article afire. and that there was at tached Co it a slow powder fuse. Al inst he was alarmed les, the thing nigh, yet be dangerous, but SOmmoned courage, and throwing snow on the burning object. Smothered the blaze.
 Digging out the now eXtingulShed ob- iect. he examined it and found it to be a coil of heavy flax thread, which had evil dently been dipped in coal oil. The coil was attached to the fuse, and Mr. Gehri thinks probably there was powerful eN- vlosive in turn attached to the coil. The fuse was a foot long and he says sufficient Co give anyone time to get a 5lotN or more away before it would burn the full lergth.
 Who did the work or what motive any one could have in diSchlrging Such a con- trivance in front Of his store, NIT. Gehr is at loss to know. He is not greatly alarmed. but does not relish the idea that anything Of a violently expansive and space demanding nature should be given full liberty so near his mortal hauntS, and whether the habit is that of neighboi or Siranger.

ACTIVITY AMONGST
 FIRE COMPANIES To Buy More Material and ReOrganize Hose Co.
MONEY FOR THE BOYS
Bank of Alaska to tho Front wIth SIS Moore Wharf Company and LIIIy BrOe. Donate.

The Brannitk hotel fire has caused greater activity amongst Skagway'S fire companies. lt demonstrated two things ooncluSivelY that there should be 2ooo feet more hose and that Hose Company No. needs recruits. So many members of this company are out of the city that there were scarce enough present to handle It's apparatus on Wednesday morning.
 Prominent members of the fire company call attention to the fact that had a fire oC- cured Wednesday morning after the Bran- nick fire the department would have been helpless, because the hose was frozen stiff, and had to be thawei out and dried. lt was also found necessary for a man to go up to the upper water reservoir and turn on more water, as the water company has limited the supply from the upper to the lower reservoir to prevent ths possibility of water famine before the thaw in the spring They call attention to the need for more wrenlheS and other appliances!
 A member of Hose Company No. ?, re- feuing to that company, said that so many of itS best and most active members are out of the city that itS usefulness is impaired, and it is proposed to reorganze 1t and secure a few new and active mem- berS. Mr 5. C. Kaufman and Mr. C. E. Cole will inaugurate the campaign for members of that company. In speaking of the needs of the fire department yester- day, Mr Kaufman said: "One of the great needs of the fire department Is a more thorough system of drills. There should be numerous competitive drills, and inducements should be offered to secure the interest of all the members in them. think prizes should be offered to the com panv making the first water connection alter the tap of the bell. Many of the members of the fire companies have but little property at stake themselves, and they should be shown that their work Is appreciated.
 This question of an effective fire de. partment Is a big one in Skagwav and one that should receive the attention of every property owner in the city. It is our only insurance"
 The Bank of Alaska today presented each of the th;ee fire companies check for s2s in appreciation of the work done at the fire just across the street from its place of bu.ineSS. Accompanying each gift was a letter after the manner of the one that follows;
 Mr Frank Clancy.
