AN IDEAL RESORT.
The Advantages Of Pinehurst for tho
Pleasure-Loving and Afflicted.

Pinehurst-an ideal winter resort where
everyone from those of moderate means to
those who demand the luxuries Of life may
find satisfactory accommodations in one OF
the four hotels or more than fifty cottages
which compose the little village. 1t is To-
Gated in that part of North Carolina known
as Gods Country"
Pinehurst is beyond doubt one OF the most
unique and enjoyable places in the southern
states, and from the standpoint of health
cannot be excelled. Many of the fashion,
able set of Washington, Philadelphia, New
York and Boston may be found here each
winter enjoying its wonderful and exhila-
rating climate. 1t is an admirable resort
for those afflicted with weak respiratory
organs for the tired and overworked, and
for all who wish to recuperate their vital
forces.
The hotels and cottages at Pinehurst are
new and thoroughly modern, luxurious in
appointments and furnishings Among its
attractions are It's golf courses, shooting
preserves and the casino. The country
about Pinehurst Is comparatively level and
affords the real sport of horseback riding.

the department were the Anacostia, North
ern Liberty, Franklin, Perseverance,, Union
and Webster Hose and the American and
Metropolitan hook and ladder companies.
In those days the ringing of bell noti-
fled the firemen that their services were
wanted, and despite the fact that the men,
bers of the companies were scattered ali
over town, they usually made fairly good
time. running to fires. pulling the truck or
hose after them. What were known as
''Meigs'' plugs were used over eisterns at
the intersection of streets. These plugs
were covered with heavy iron plates. and
considerable difficulty was experienced In
finding them in the winter time when they
were covered with snow and ice. Many
times the firemen were obliged to build
fires and thaw away the ice and snow be-
fore they could reach the plugs. 1t was
during the days of the volunteers that the
street fights occurred. and sometimes
streams of water had to be used to dis
perse the belligerents. During these COM
bats houses were permitted to burn to
the ground This condition of affairs con-
tinued until 1864, when the present de-
partment was organized. with John II.
Sessford as chief Part of the old volunteer
apparatus was utilized in the formation OF
the new organization, and the department
was soon better equipped. The McClelland
fire plug was put in operation about 1864,
and the firemen no longer had the trouble of
digging in the ice and snow and getting
suctions from the canal, and sometimes from
street cutters, as they had been compelled
to do previous to this time. When the de-
partment was organized the privates re-
ceived only 50 a month, but this amount
was soon doubled. William Elwood sue
ceeded John H. Sessford as chief engineer.
and after him came George Holmes, Mar
tin Cronin, Joseph Paris and Robert w.
Dutton. There are now 300 firemen in the
department, with thirty-three engines, hose

Longevity of Monarchs.
From the London Express.

If the risks of the trade Of kingship are
considerable. as the late King Humbert or
Italy used to remark, the increase OF tho
average longevity of monarchs during the
past century is also considerable. Apropos
of the death of the Belgian queen in her
sixty sixth year, it is worth recalling that
in the year ISIS Europe possessed fifty-one
sovereigns, of when only eleven had passed
their sixtieth year. OF these one alone had
Teachod the age of seventy. In 1890, al
though, meanwhile. the number of crowned
he ads had been reduced to forty. the list OF
Sc xagenarians was nearly trebled. There
were at that date twenty-nine sovereigns
who had attained sixty ard over. OF these
seven had overstepped seventy. five Of them
were eighty, and one, the present Pope Leo
XIII, was ncnagenarian.

The District Fire Department..
The Washington fire department has also
had its ups and downs. Strange as it
may seem, the different companies worked
against each other during the early part of
the last half century. So great was the
rivalry between the volunteer departments
that street fights were common and fires
were permitted to burn while the firemen
fought. A great many changes have oc-
Cured in the conduct Of the department
during all these years, until Chief Duttcn
is able to boast that his department is
first-class in every particular 1t is true
that departments in some Of the larger
