NYEXT Tuesday. April 2sth, will be
mi the semi-centennial anniversary
of the first alarm of fire given by
electricity. Thursday, April %,
~ at S:25 O'Clock p. m, from signal box
OF District /. located on the old Cooper
Street Church. Boston. Mass, the first
alarm by an electrical fire alarm system
was rung in by J. H. Goodale ard re-
ceived at headquarters by Charles Carlton
Cof,A. ,.terward famous as a war cor
respoadent and author of numerous war
stories and histories. who sent IL out on
the numerous tower bells throughout the
city.
There is not now n city and few towns
o. any considerable size but possess such
a system, and many small villages and
boroughs.
The system originated with DR.. William
r. Charming, OF Boston, son Of William
Eilery Claiming, the famous Unitarian
minister. He was born in that city Feb
riIary 22. 1920. and died there February
% 1901. on his eighty first birthday. He
conceived the idea Of an electric fire
s. +. b. Morse's invention In telegraphy
became an established fact.
Associated with DIR. Claiming in the in
vention and construction Of this system
was Prof Moses G. Farmer, of Salem.
Mass, who was the inventor OF most OF
the machines and appliances used, and the
electrician who put it into operation and
made IL successful.
In March, 1851, DR.. Claiming sent a
communication to the Boston city council
outlining his ideas, presenting the result
OF his experiments, accompanied by plans.
etc. and suggested the construction of
such n system by the city. crude ex-
hibition was made in the council chamber
and another in the Merchants Exchange,
which were witnessed by many people. A
committee Of the city council was ap-
pointed to consider the matter and sub

of His Country.

IT HE management OF the Masonic
Fair has provided a special George
i Washington matinee for next
Tuesday, from 3 to o'clock on
which occasion the public will have an
opportunity to see this famous original
Houdon life cast of Washington The
President, his Cabinet. and other high
officials have been invited to be present.
This cast of Washington has been for
many years in the seclusion Of a gentle
mans library in New York. The history
of this famous piece of statuary, from
which have been copied all of the Houdon
statues of Washington which are to be
seen in the parks. the museums, and the
libraries. begins with the following reso-
lution. passed by the Virginia Legisla-
ture. in the year 1888:
That the Executive be requested to
take measures for procuring a statue of
General Washington, to be of the finest
marble and best workmanship"
Governor Harrison, a forefather of
President Benjamin Harrison, thereupon,
on July q, 1854. wrote to Thomas Jeffer-
son, who then represented the United
States in France, informing him that he
had appointed him and his friend, Benja-
min Franklin, our representative in Eng
land, to take the matter in charge, say
ing: I'VE have unanimously fixed on
you and DIR. Franklin, who we all know
are competent for the task. ! therefore
most earnestly request the favor of you
TO undertake it, to wit--to engage a
sculptor for the work.
On January IL. 17s5. Mr.. jefferson wrote
from Paris informing Governor Harrison
that all arrangements had been made with
the sculptor. Jean Antoine Houdon, to
execute the statue. NJ. Houdon was to
receive 1000 guineas, have his expenses
paid and his life insured for 10000 livres.
That was the contract As DR.. Franklin
was about to return to America 1t was
agreed that NJ. Houdon should accompany
him. They arrived in Philadelphia about
September /. 17S5. NJ. Houdon spent some
time in that city. and then, by easy
stages. made his way to Mount Vernon,
where he arrived. as will be seen by
Washington's diary, on October 3. 17s5.

Freemantle, dean Of Ripon, addressing

ing that the idea OF the immaculate
conception should be left out of account
because, except In ST. Matthew and St.

not mentioned In the New Testament.
The speaker then proceeded to ask
whether II was irreverent TO believe
that Christ In the matter Of miracles,
such as raising the dead, ETC., could
not have failed TO make a distinction
between death and various forms Of
Inconsistencies. With regard to the
resurrection the dean OF Ripon said he
considered this was meant spiritually
and not materially.
