At o meeting Of Hope Hook and
Ladder Co. No. i, held on July 8,
1901, the town was divided into Fire
Districts and a Code of Signals was
adopted In order to facilitate tbs loca-
ton of fires in the future. The town
was divided as follows: ,
District No, ALI that portion OF
e wn bounded north by Bellevue
street, west by Union street, south
and east by corporation line.
District No. 2-All that portion Of
town bounded by Bellevue street on
the south, Union street on the west.
and corporation line on the north and
east.
District No. 3-Theportion Of town
lying west of Union street, and south
of Bellevue street, with the corpora
ton line as the south and west boun-
dairy.

bounded on the south by Bellevue,
east by Union, north and west by COZ
poration line.

alarm, same to be repeated until gen.
eral alarm is given.

sounded for District No. 3, first three

L. is interesting to find a prominer

/. is interesting to find a prominent
French critic, Louis De Gra1nont, adj
vocating the formal adoption of Eng
lish as a universal language because
of its simple syntax. The recent dis
cussion at Paris Of the proposed new
language Esperanto, an artificial con
~struction, has given a new interest
TO the subject and caused the jour-
nails to note the rapid extension OF
English. 1t is apparent that the
French cannot hope that their own
speech will ever regain its former
popularity among foreigners, and sta
tistics prove that unless the present
tendency shall change the language
Of Shakespeare and Milton with
some important notifications will
pass into universal use. It is sig
nificant to recall that less than a cen

upon closing the gates of Hougomant.
That Sir James Macdonnel saw that
fact, sprang forward, and in the very
nick. Of time closed them with the
greatest gallantry, and he was there
fore Of the opinion that the legacy
should go to him. When Sir James
was offered the money he said: 81
cannot claim all the credit for closing
the gates of Hougomant, My sergeant,
John Graham, seeing the importance
of the step at the moment that / did,
rushed forward and aided me, and by
your leave / will share the legacy with
