FIRST ANNUAL INSPECTION.
The Police and Fire Departments Pre-

 pairing for Next Thursday.
 Everything seems to be ready for the first annual inspection and parade of the fire and police departments un- der the auspices of the board of pub lie safety. This new feature is adapted after the inspection of the fire and police departments of New Haven, but it being the first one to be held here, it will be far more elabor- ate. It will have tinge of gold lace and red tape that will wear away in the course of time as it has in the in- spection of the similar departments in other cities. Next Thursday at 2:3O o'clock in the afternoon is the hour set for the opening figure. Pro- vided the out of town chiefs who are invited will attend it will be quite an imposing affair. 1t will not be quite as homely or pleasant as the old time firemen's parade, but it will make up for these features in it's official rigid- ity. First class music will of course be feature in the affair. If the day is stormy the inspection will be post poned The fire bell will announce the postponement by striking three times. The line of march will be- gin at the green, move up West Main street as far as North Willow street, back to Exchange place pass ing in review by the city officials and guests at the city hall: thence on to Bank, to Center street, to Leaven- worth street, to Grand street, to South Main street back to Exchange street, to East Main street as far as Dublin street and back to the green where the parade disperses. On the return each fire company will break from the parade at the most direct point to it's respective engine house.

Bulgarian 1n.urrection Growing.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Oct. 13.-General Zontcheff, president of the Macedonian committee, has again escaped from prison and has gone to Macedonia. The Macedonian committee asserts that the insurrection is growing daily. It claims that the rebels have destroyed several villages and that they attacked the town of Jumaya, European Fur key. where they captured three Turk ish guns, but were finally repulsed. Consular and official news, while de- claring the reports of the Macedonian committee to be greatly exaggerated, confirms the statements of desperate encounters in the district of >DJuma- bala and Detvitch, where many were killed, wounded or taken prisoners.

Hickey; vice-president, John Ashe; treasurer, John Hackett; recording secretary, Thomas l.. Flynn; inspector Thomas Ryan; chap lain, John Smith; trustees, John Mur- phy, John McHale and John Mulcahy President Hickey and Treasurer Hackett were each made the .recipi- ent of $50 in gold as token of appre ciation of hteir work on behalf of the association. The president and Thom- as Ryan were delegated to represent the society at the meeting of the state branch of the American Federation of Labor, to be held in Meriden to-mor- row. A banquet was served, after which speeches were delivered by ex- President Boyle, George Robarts and others. John Hackett, Thomas O'Con- nell, John Whalen, MT Mullen of New Haven and Peter Brennan also con- tributed to the musical program. Two original poems, "The Man Behind the Bar and "The Man Before the Bar,' by J. A. Cullen, were the principal features of the occasion and the au. thor was given a splendid ovation. Moroney and Mulcahy catered and Fulton's orchestra furnished music The committee in hcarge consisted of John Hackett and Neil Mulville. MT Cullen was asked to-day if he had any objections to giving his poet ical effusion to the press. He stated that he has not yet secured his tall 1sie afes Man Before the Bar," but that inas- much as the papers had been received for the other he had no hesitation in putting it before the public. Here it is:
 1.-THE MAN BEHIND THE BAR" (Adapted from "The Man Behind
 the Gun.") I'll tell you of fellow who leads
 strenuous life, Who rarely or ever makes com
 plaint;
 Who's up from morn till dewy eve in
 help of home or wife,
 Nor claims to be a sinner or
 saint. His work is hard and irksome and
 brings but little fame, He's known in the directory as a
 clerk;
 But whatsoever his salary be. he earns
 it just the same, The man behind the bar does all the | work The man who's born to wealth or ease. 1 or works from seven to six, ] No matter if his locks be brown or hoary, But little knows the humps and
 bumps 'twixt straight ones or
 mix, Nor cares rap-but that's another
 story.
 The man who serves gets little praise, but he can do without it, ] His only thought, his duties not to shirk,
 He works and works and works and
 works, and then shuts ID about it;
 The man behind the bar does all the work.
 All kinds and types and shapes of
 men who lean upon the Tail, The man behind the bar must try to suit; I And while his Mbrain is busy every nickel he must nail,
 Or else he'll get the call to "shoot
 chute" So let's give praise where praise is
 due, and speak our minds out
 right,
 Nor fear the wrath of Christian or
 of Turk; l we'll drink the health of B. I. ID. with
 all our main and might, The man behind the bar does all the 4 work.

BRONSON LIBRARY AGENTS
Met Saturday Afternoon, Heard Re ports and Transacted Other Business.

Met Saturday Afternoon, Heard Re- ports and Transacted Other Business The board of agents of the Bronson Library fund held it's annual meeting Saturday afternoon and reelected all present employees for another year. The salary of the librarian was in- creased from $1, POO per annum to $1,- 500. It was voted that the institution be closed on all legal holidays and that the Sunday opening be discontinued from May 1 to September 1. The Daughters of the American Revolution were granted permission to plant a Charter Oak tree on the library grounds the site to be designated by the building committee, consisting of John O'Neill, General $. w. Kellogg and |. A. Platt. The two last votes were in accordance with recom- mendation of the librarian, who thought the attendance on Sundays did not warrant the expense and also sug- gested that the circulating library be closed on all legal holidays except Lincoln day. 1t was decided to em- ploy MT Hall, the janitor, during the pleasure of the board.

In damage suit recently tried be-
fore Judge Steckler in the supreme
court against the Metropolitan Street
Railway Company by ex-Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Maurice b. Blumenthal,
the company's lawyer, Judge Edward
p. Coyne, demanded to know the
whereabouts of the plaintiffs family
physician, who was not produced rs Q
witness. Mr. Blumenthal stated that
up to last July the doctor lived on
West End avenue, but that he was un-
able to give the DOCTORS present ad-
dress, and that therefore another phy-
sician had made an examination or the
plaintiff and would give the necessap ~
evidence as to the injuries.
In his closing address to the jury,
Mr.. Coyne laid great stress upon the
alleged exaggeration of the plaintiffs s
injuries, and scored the plaintiff for
not producing the family physician at
the trial.
They are afraid his testimony would
determine the case in favor of the
company, and therefore made no efort

and the jury seemed greatly impressed
with the argument. When Mr.. Cos nC
took mis- seat he fc.t that he had won
his case.

endeavored to make, on 4 small scale,
what iremen call back draught,
which is really a downward explosion
of smoke through elevator shafts or
stairways where there are iron shut

was blown on. and the smoke went up
instead OF downward.
The inspector used only plain wood
to produce the smoke for MS explosion.
