been I'm the department for eighteen years He
is the nephew of Richard Croker, is married and
lives at No. S5I West Twenty -elghth-st His
record for personal bravery In fires is good and
he has taken part In two sensational rescues,
carrying woman down scaling ladder from
the third story at a fire I'm No 81 West Twenty
eighth-st., in 1887, and saving a man in the
same way at the Bowery Mission in 1905. In
his work he has been hurt several times one
of the injuries being to his eye.

in which the Commissioner made himself ridicu-
lous by reversing himself to let in improper
testimony or TO keep OUT proper testimony, so
long as it would be hurtful to Croker.
THE newspaper men are an intelligent body,
and not one of those who present will
agree with him. What's the use? Mr.. Low and
cover the dishonesty of the entire transaction"
Mr.. Delany asked whit the next step in
the case would be- He said:
"At 10 o'clock tomorrow morning Will
make application to the Supreme Court. Special
Term Part H. for a writ of certiorari to require
had before him. and of the evidence which
his findings were based upon. He will have
twenty days to make this return. The case will
then be printed and brought up for argument
before the Appellate Division. 1t will probably
not be earlier than February before this argu-
ment is heard. This will cost the city a pretty
penny The printing alone will amount to nearly
$500 when his order is reversed by the Appel
late Division
Mr. Delany was shown a copy of the decision
OF Commissioner Sturgis in Diminishing Chief
Croker. He seemed surprised, and asked the
reporter why it had been given out to the
press when Chief Croker had not been served
with copy of il.
This just shows the trend of the whole case
said Mr.. Delany, land | suppose the Commits
soner was ashamed to send this to Chief Croker.
This decision Is too lengthy to permit me to
answer IL tonight it should be answered
It is the most outrageous Misrepresentation of
facts and mSConS truCtion of evidence that l
have ever read. He has made facts of infer
ences. Where a witness would make an in
ference draw conclusion the Commissioner
has accepted il fact. and so states it, Wait
until this reaches the Appellate Division.

THE RUMoR ABOUT SHEFFIELD.

On the heels of the Croker dismissal comes the
rumor that Commissioner Sturgis will resign
before January l and that ]. r. Sheffield who
was mentioned for the place before Mr.. sturgis
took it, will succeed him, Some think they can
read between the lines in the last paragraph OF
the Mayors statement yesterday. This says:
1T now remains for the Mayor to look into the
condition of affairs in the Fire Department for
the purpose of determining whether or not any
further action ought to be taken in the public
interest

ACTED AGAINST ORDERS.

These defences do not touch the real question
At issue An act may be strictly speaking legal
and yet insubordinate. In the present instance
the fact was that the chiefs action in resuming
command Of the uniformed force was in direct
opposition 10 the clearly expressed wishes ana
directions of the Commissioner The CHIEF Of
department knew, therefore, that his act wa
contrary TO orders, and yet he persisted in II
subordinate. "
Nor can the construction which the defence
gives TO Rule 81 be accepted. It is commended
that an ofhcer returning unexpectedly from a
leave assigns himself TO duty as was done by
the defendant. The true construction IS found
in the literal language of the rule--"shall
be regarded as present for duty In other words
he reports 20 his superior that he is ready for
duty, in order that he may be assigned u whether
70 his former command TO another is discre-
tonary with his chief. simple illustration viii

STAGE LIFE TEN YEARS.
New Crop of Minor Actors Harvested
Every Decade.

A new crop Of stage people is har-
vested I'm the United States every ten
years. Each decade marks the begin
ming Of new epoch In theatrical his
tory.
This fact does not apply so aptly to
stars and stage people who dominate
In the profession, for the life Of these,
so far as the public is concerned, is
usually somewhat longer. But with the
rank and tle-those who never rise
higher than the level of minor roles -
ten years is about the limit Of endur-
ance. After having served before the
public FOR that length OF time without
doing anything sufficiently merltorious
or novel to attract unusual attention
the actor or actress, as n rule, passes
away In so far as the profession is
concerned and new crop is harvest

on the waiting list 10 ill the depleted
ranks.
Men who deal I'm the talents Of stage
people to the extent OF reaping inan-
cial return from their labors are better
qualified TO size up" the situation
than others, and their experience
teaches that few ordinary people OF
the theatrical profession remain longer
than ten years in the business. They
either achieve distinction although
this Is the exception rather than the
rule-or else drop into other lines after
having been convinced by experience
that the stage, so far as they are di-
rectly concerned, offers practically no
opportunity for advancement For this
reason the rank and file OF the profes-
sion is constantly changing, and the
popular idea once an actor always an

SIDE LIGHTS ON HISTORY.
Curious Letters by Harvard Man
who served Under Washington.

Some curious side lights on history. as
valuable In their way as the more seri.
Gus studies, are found in little collec-
ton Of letters from a Revolutionary
soldier which are preserved I'm the Har-
ward library. They were written to
relatives ana friends in New Hamp-
shire by one William Weeks, a Har-
ward graduate, who was an officer I'm
Washington's army.
Homesickness must have been severe
at times. though In one OF his letters
from Valley Forge this soldier seems
20 have had hard struggle between
his natural pleasure at the honors
which he was fortunate enough to be
accorded and his nostalgia. "This
Day" he writes, IL must be at Gen'l
Sulliyan's TO take Dinner with him, the
other day l had as great an Honour
confer'd upon mel had the Honour
TO take Glass Of Wine with Gen'l
Washington & his Lady-But at the
same time | should count as great an
Honour TO have the satisfaction Of see
Ing, converslng Il taking a Glass of
Wine with my-Friends at Home"
There is a curious indication Of the
state Of mind in the Continental army
at times during the war in another
letter, where Mr.. Weeks says, "If my
Wages were not higher than expected
when at Home, would by no means
tarry. but as they are rais'd, and for
the Love have for the Country, | can
by no Means think Of leaving the
Army"
That the manner OF obtaining a Her.
ward degree has changed radically in
the last hundred years appears in a
paragraph written mt Valley Forge in
177S. Weeks had taken his \. b. three
years before that, but evidently was
anticipating an A. NJ. AS the cam
paign is coming on, he wrote, Il have
but little expectation OF coming home
for my degree" But It appears that in
consideration OF the $40 which his fam
fly forwarded to the college In response
10 this request the desired honor was
conferred.
