Frank Lowe, chief OF the Fire De
partment, called the attention OF the
council to the lack OF fire facilities in
certain parts of the city. He urged
that fire hyrant be placed at the cor
ner Of Eighth and State streets, and
also in front of the Idaho saloon. The
matter was referred to the Committee
on Public Works and Public Property.
The chief said that on the occasion
of the recent fire on the beach it was
learned that there was not hose
enough in the department to protect
the wharves or warehouses in case of
con1agration. The city at present
owns 275o feet of hose, and he urged
that il the owners of the wharves were
approached they, no doubt, would con-
tribute enough to reach the end of the
docks with stream.
Mr. Keelar naivey remarked that
the wharf men had not paid their tax
es and did not need fire protection.
Finally the question was referred 50

expert and fancy swimmer, was drown
ed at Broad Channel. Rockaway Beach,
to-day. He wa giving an exhibition in
deep water OF how a swimmer could

daughter, Eva, IS years old, was the
one he carried. Hundreds of people
were i~ntently watching the two. when
Beieher and his daughter began TO
founder in the water. The crowd
thought this was part OF the exhibition
and no 4 made a move to help until
Belcher's wife, who was among the
spectators, began to scream that some
thing must be wrong. Both swimmars
sank. Finally a nan in the crowd
rushed into the water. and after diving
brought the girls body to the surface.
She was revived, but wnen her fathers
body was recovered. life was extinct.

DEATHS AND REGISTRATIONS.
YORK AND BOSTON SUFFERED
THE WORST.

NEW YORK, June 29.-The people of
this and nearby cities and villages are
anxiously awaiting the relief from the
present hot spell which is promised by
the weather bureau in the shape OF
thunderstorms. To-day's heat, addei to
that OF the last few days, caused in
tense suffering to humanity, while there
were numerous prostrations and several
deaths.
Among the last was one case of sui
eide and two attempts, which were at
least indirectly charged to the hot wave.
The record up to O'clock tonight
shows eleven deaths and twenty-eight
prostrations. In addition 20 horses
died and the number Frustrated was le-
gion.
Ninety-two degrees, the highest point
the government mercury reached during
the day, came at o'clock in the after
noon, after which the fierce heat gave
way before the receding sun and 81 was
registered at o'clock. At o'clock to-
night it went up to So and the weather
observer thought 1t would continue 20
go higher
In Brooklyn there were five deaths
and twelve prostrations.

FRANCE GETTING RICH.

A situation that is anomalous, accord
ing to certain economic teaching, has
developed In France. That country has
paid no attention to the present world
wide craze for industrial and CONNER
cial expansion, but instead of pauperiz-
Ing the French nation its sloth appears
to have had the contrary effect.
French capital, not being called for
investment in French industrial and
commercial enterprises, has sought in
vestment elsewhere, with the result that
France has become money-lending ma
tion. French financiers, with an album
dance of surplus capital have gone in
to the security market taking advan-
tage of high rates of interest else
where and have acquired vast holdings
In English, German, Russian and 9TH
er securities. In other words France
is furnishing the money and taking the
rake-off without any of the work and
the smallest amount of risk
The French have been accused Of be-
ing Eighty, volatile, unstable and sever
al other things in that category, but
in financial matters they seem to be all
there.
Next to the United States France now
has the largest accumulation of wealth
There has been an accumulation of gold
SO great as to put the Bank of France
to such inconvenience that it insists up
on paying in the precious metal GER
tain percentage of all the cash with
drawn by its customers. This is cal
culared to fabbergast American and
also European financiers, whose chief
concern the past generation has been to
protect their gold holdings from deple-
ton. France. however, which has never
bothered about the maintenance Of the
gold standard, paying out gold or sill
yer as suited her best at a ratio Of
about 1917 to one, now has more gold
than she knows what to do with-more
gold than any of the gold standard ma
tions except the United States.
1t looks as if the financial world
might go to school to France, though,
ut course. we can't all be money-lend-
ers.

War took from them the greater part
OF their possessions. and left them ID
the midst Of their desolated planfa ION
in the fine old mansion house, they ap-
peared to assume even q loftier carriage
than they had borne heretofore. and
the pathos of their situation appealed
with eloquence to all who had known
and revered their house.
Nor was the picturesqueness OF their
condition deteriorated from when
George Chaffee, the only son of old
Major Chaffee, married a girl from
Wisconsin. He had met her down at
Mobile Bay one winter, and in srite Of
his desire to marry daughter Of his
own section of the country, he mad
found 1t necessary to his peace of MINI
to ask this calm eyed and delicate
young girl to share his home win aim.
If his bride found that home a trying
one. in the decay OF It's splendor, x,.a
its rotting servants quarters, it, vast,
uncared for drawing room, its neglect
ed lawns and gar! lens, she made no
complaint. To the day OF her husbands
death she appeared to be devoted to
him to the exclusion of all other things.
He died quite suddenly, and Just
when he was beginning to entertain
some faint hope that he could rehabili-
tate the fallen fortunes of his house and
the old Major, already tried by many
sorrows and disappointments, broke
down utterly. wept himself TO sleep
night after night, brooded hopelessly
through the long, aimless days. and
seemed oblivious to the fact that. with
out the exercise of industry and inge-
nuity on the part of some one, he and
his sons widow and orphan would soon
be without the necessaries OF life. Poor
Alice Caaffee, her pathetic love story
quite at an end, and with her little child
and her old father-in-law dependent
upon her, bestirred herself, sold the old
place for a trifie and went back to her
Wisconsin home. There was shelter
there and a chance for bread-winning.
and she set herself about her task with
courage and hope. But it was not long
before the dry rot of grief and hopeless
toll broke her spirit She slipped out
of life with sort of apology and the old
man and a flaxen- haired little girl. 7
years of age, were left to face the world
together
The realization that this beautiful lit
tie creature was dependent upon him
alone broke sharply through the old
Majors selfish and sorrowful dreams.
Despair aroused him. He felt the ne
eessity of doing something, no matter
how mental, to keep Alicia from want.
AS matter of fact, his pride had long
since been broken. Perhaps it persisted
