SUGGESTED REGULATIONS.
Means by Which 1t is Believed Col
lisiOns May BE AXerted.

Mr.. T. H. Fitman of 40 9TH street. re-
ferring to the recent collision between
truck B and a Metropolitan car, has writ
ten Commissioner Ross suggesting that the
Commissioners require the drivers of the
fire department apparatus, when about to
cross a street on which cars are run, to
turn either to the right or left before cross
ing, and proceed along such street to the
next corner thereof. If this should be the
rule, Mr.. Fitman is of the opinion that 1t
would not be possible for the firemen and
the motormen to miss seeing one another.
As a general thing" says Mr.. Fitnam,
the engines and trucks must turn one way
or the other but even as in yesterdays ac-
cident, where the locality of the fire is on
the same street as the engine house, what
would signify half minute so lost time
compared to the awful catastrophe attend
ing such impetuous rush?
Were such rule in force yesterday, the
driver of the truck, knowing that he must
turn, would have so slaskened speed to
make such turn safely, and all would have
been well. This consideration acquires
greater force when 1t is remembered that
in the majority of cases alarms are either
false amount to but trifies in the way
of loss.

SIGNS OF CHRISTMAS.
BY WILLIS B. HAWKING

When ma begins to tlptoe round
N We begin to hear
A certain HUSKY, whisp'rin sound
About this time Of year,
We know that she n Sandy Claus
Are fidn things to do,
N so we never peek, because
They never want US to.
When sister Mary goes about
A-hintin that she wishes
She had teapot with a spout
To match her set Of dishes,
We know it's time for us to writs
Our letters n to set 'em
Beside the hearth where, in the nigl &
Ole Sandy Claus'll get 'em.
When all the seats In Sunday school
Are filled 18th girls n boys
N no one ever breaks rule
'R makes bit OF noise,
We know it can't be very long
Till Sandy will appear
N pass his presents to the thro1
That comes but once Q year.
When Aunt Melindy comes n brings
The children n the bird,
N she n ma make popcorn strings
We never say a word,
But anybody ought to see
That she has come to stay
TIL time to have the Christmas tree,
Which can't be far away.
When pa comes meakin 'crost the lot
A-lookin guilty, 50 t
You'd think he'd stole the things he's got
Inside his overcoat.
We know it's time for US to run
N carry in the wood
N see that all our chores are done
N otherwise be good.

BOERS in DISTRESS
PROMINENT LEADERS ARRIVE
IN AMERICA TO SEEK AID.


New York. June 10.-Rev. DR.. Won
Brockhuizen of Pretoria. South Afri-
ca the minister who closed the volks-
raad with prayer after President Kru-
gers ultimatum had been read to that
body, is in the city. His brother,
Dr. II. j. Won Brockhuizen of the
Orange Free State. who served in the
Boer armies, accompanies him. Their
mission in this country is to raise
money for the Boer women and child
rem now in refugee camps. DR.. Won
Brockhuizen in an interview said:
Our women and children, who are
at present concentrated in camps es-
tablished by the British, are in hor-
rible condition. 1t was bad enough
when / left South Africa, but l know
from letters that have received-one
only the other day from my sister
that it is hundred times worse now"
When the doctor left South Africa
he said he was virtually banished by
order of General Maxwell, military
governor of Pretoria.
DR.. Won Brockhuizen said further
Of the camps I'm an official report
made by Dr. Ronald P. Mckenzie, of
the British army, on February 8, OF
this year, the British government is
notified that the conditions are horri-
BILE, the death rate appalling and the
food furnished wholly unfit to eat"
The Afrianders, Rev. DR.. Won Brock
huizen AYERS, will never be overcome,
and all reports to the contrary are
false. The Boer army numbers from
$4,000 to 1900 men and is constantly
being augmented by Cape Colony
Beers. The Boer forces are now
armed with Lee-Metford rifles, he
says, and they have tons of ammuni-
tion buried, which they can use at
any time against the British.

with filth, bones. refuse food, worms
rats and all kinds of vermin. The I'M
fortunately woman who had partially
lost her reason. was taken to hospital.
1t was thought that she would die,
but she Is improving. Twenty-Five
years ago she was beautiful brunette
and fell in love with lawyer without
means. Her mother disapproved of
their love and confined her in the
room. which she has only recently left.
The son, after his arrest, pleaded that
he acted as he did on account of fl
ial piety, and that the mother was re-
sponsible. The lawyer died in 1885.
