Hose Company Runs West

Hose Company Runs West
The No. company. which has been
located on the hill at Seventh avenue
and Ihirty-second street for the very
purpose of taking care of fires in the
east end of the city. ran this way and
met the Centrals at Twenty-fourth
street. AS there was no couflagra-
ton i'm sight at that point, the fire
men hunted up telephone and got
the proper address from the central
office, where the mistake had been
learned. In the meantime someone
had pulled the police fire alarm box
in the vicinity of the fire and the No.
= company. which was at the Central
house, getting this alarm through
the police station, supposed there
was another fire and set out for the
east end of the city. So it happened
that all three companies met at the
fire after a quarter of an hour or
more had been lost and il was ever
lastingly too late to save the build
ing.
While awaiting for the department.
the neighbors had carried out most
of the down stairs furniture and that
was saved. but the residence. which
cost $4,000 exclusive of the furniture.
was reduced to ruins. The firemen
state positively that if the No. 3 com
pany had gone direct to the fire when
the first alarm was turned in the
flames could have been confined to
the kitchen and probably squelched
with Il chemical. Apart from this
the water pressure was exceptionally
strong and there would have been no
cause for complaint on that score.
Mr.. Haas carried $4,000 insurance on
his home.
Another BIunder.
The second fire occurred about 800
yesterday afternoon at 1906 Seventh
avenue, and the mistake in delivering
the alarm was almost identical with
that of the day before. The central
office understood the location from
the party who telephoned in the
alarm, to be Twenty-third street and
Seventh avenue and the No. , with
i'm nine blocks of the actual fire and
Central companies met there-2O
blocks away in due season. Az
ter another period of telephon-
ing the firemen were set right
and reached the scene of the fire in
time to save the front end of a $1,000
residence. The flames had started in
the kitchen while the family was
away and the delay in getting the
alarms untangled had given time for
the entire rear portion of the build
ing with all its contents to be de-
stroyed. The front part was left
scorched aud blackened by smoke
and soaked with water.
The residence is owned and occu-
pied by the family of ;. l.. Light.
The damage to the house is $1,000
and TO the furnishings $500.
BIunder the Third
y third biunder which fortunately,
had no serious consequences, occur
red. shortly after noon today. Some
one threw lighted cigar stub into
some leaves in the cellar window at
the First Avenue hotel at the corner
of Twentieth street and First avenue
and a blaze resulted. The telcphoned
alarm gave the location as Fifth ave-
nue. and Twentieth street instead of
First avenue and the department was
ND in the air for the third time, in
three days when no fire was found at
the place indicated. Chief Hastings

A Failure In COOper;nE.

A certain man who was once a
prominent Kentucky politician was
more q denlagogue than a statesman.
He was, according to Short Stories, in
the habit of Boosting that his father
was cooper in an obscure town in
the state-that he was zone Of the
people" and didn't belong to the 'kid
gloved aristocracy."
The generals" great failing being
his fondness for liquor. it will surprise
no one to be told that the more he drank
the more loudly he detained his
political sentiments and the prOuder
of being the son of cooper he became.
During a political campaign. where his
opponent was the southern orator, Tom
Marshall, he had been unusually noisy
and offensive in his Boosting regarding
his obscure origin. In replying, Mar
shall said, looking hard at the general:
"FellOw citizens, my opponents
father may have been n very good
cooper. don't deny that; but do say,
gentlemen. that he put mighty poor
head into that whisky barrel"

Speaking of W. III. C'Coin'c Harvey,
a Chicago man said:
Gan amusing incident took place
while Harvey was editor of Coin. pa
per which he published In Chicago.
Harvey, in talking to one of his part
ners, took exception to the want Of
punctuation in the paper. There isn't
enough punctuation he complained,
and Coin doesn't look right without 1t.
There ought to be a comma once In so
often, then so often colon. and all
the rest. Don't you think soT he wound
up appeallngly.
81 do, indeed heartily replied the
partner, who was not wholly devoid OF
humor. That's great idea of yours,
Harvey. If / were you he suggested.
I'D draw up a rule to that effect
Harvey thought it over, and the
thought commended itself. The next
day. therefore, rule reading some
what as follows was posted in the Of.
flee of Coin Thereafter it Is the rule of
this office that articles appearing in the
columns of this, paper must be punctu-
atcd as follows: Every II words shall
carry a comma; every three lines a
semlcolon: every four lines colon; ev-
cry five lines period; exclamation and
question marks may be used as hereto
fore. The employees of this paper will
please observe this order New York

Real Nice bathing.

It may be doubted If tub bath in
Jamaica is luxury. The lighthouses
make a brave show In Il row of low
brick buildings in the rear of the no.
tells, each little house with big stone
tank for a bathtub.
l went out to see the baths on my
first day in Kingston and was surpris-
ed to see sign nailed against the wall
bearing the words:
"Gentlemen Are Requested Not to
Use Soap In the Baths"
"Why are gentlemen requested not to
use soap in the baths?' asked the ho-
tel clerk, dignified young woman of
dark complexion.
because it soils the water and makes
1t unpleasant for the next bather," she
said.
But do your guests all battle in the
same water?" asked.
ooh, yes" she replied. "You see the
tanks are so large and the pipes are
small. 1t takes all night to fill the
tanks, and the water has to last all
day"

in First Methodist church of Spo-
kane, Washington" OF late years
we have seen and heard so much Of
troubles in churches that we think
it no wonder that the world is fast
filling up with skeptics. In fact, j.
looks to us like the churches
are straying from the good cid
paths of the religion OF Jesus Chris
and are taking an easy grade. II
there was more genuine religion in

At lawyers dinner In Futialo one
of the best stories told was of Squire
Murray, who weighed 900 pounds and
who was born in Ireland, was in the
whisky business here and held his
court on the Terrace. The courtroom
was like a courtroom in Ireland. The
bench was five feet from the floor,
with chair whose back reached TO the
ceiling. The trimmings of the room
were all green. Mr.. Lockwood and
Judge Bcckwith were trying out a
Ese before the squire. There was no
Jury. At the close the squire paused.
"DO you wish. to sum up?" he asked.
81 leave 1t all with your honor" said
Mr.. Lock wood, who advises young law
yers with ticklish cause and friendly
face on the bench to do likewise.
"I'll sum up" said Judge Beck with.
Every WELL" replied Squire Murray.
"While you're at it I'll slip down In
Murray Bros and have n drink with
Lockwood But I'll be back before you
finish"
The squire and Mr.. Lock wood went
out. The squire was I'm search of the
spirit Of the law at the root Of the law.
Mr.. Lockwood thinks they had drink.
On the stairs. half way back to the
courtroom, with the echo of Bcckwth'S
voice sounding in their ears. the squire
stopped.

your case"
Then they went in and heard Beck

a money panic in the near future

have saved yourself, and perhaps
others, from financial wreck.
