OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
TAT THE FIRE.

MThe ,other night as the fire engine
dashed down the street in answer to the
signal OF conflagration, and the usual
crowds surged on at "double-quick"
In the direction designated by the flying
engines, found myself hurrying along,
bent on seeing all there was to be seen
or that dreaded demon whose red tongues
seemed to. be trying to lick the very
clouds. Having secured good stand at
safe distance, | stopped and was ad-
miring the beautiful yet awe-inspiring
scene, and the dash Of the brave firemen,
when my attention was diverted by the
numerous interrogatives propounded by
a girl apparently sixteen summers, who
leaned on the arm OF a callow youth.
The questions were so ridiculously mex
cusable that could not but lose all in
terest in the fire-demon and give her the
benefit Of my silent yet critical atten-
ton. Among the queries were: "Oh,
John, how many costumes do you think
are burning in that theatreT' "Do you
think they'll change the name when they
rebuildp" just then some one remark
ed: "Oh, the tower is going upl" The
pretty girl looked up at her escort and
asked, "Oh, John, you're taller than me,
see is the tower going up, tooP" "No,
Mary, it's the water tower that they're
raising in position" Just then one OF
the firemen clambered up the automatic
extension ladderand started stream of
water from the very top. "John," said
the girl, "is not that about 800 feet high?
Amt he frightenedup there? Would he
get killed if he fell?" and "Could he sue
the people il he fell?" Well, John look
cd like pair OF deuces against a royal
flush, and, in compassion for him,
moved on, having lost all interest in the
conflagration.

ST. STANISLAUS COLLEGE
NEWS OF THE WEEK.

The event Of the week was the visit
and reception of Very Rev. Superior
General OF the Brothers of the Sacred
Heart, Brother Paulus. He was accom-
panied on his visit by the Provincial Su-
perior Brother Osmond. The Superior
is making an inspection visit of the
houses Of the order in the United States,
this being his first trip to this country.
On his arrival in this city he was met by
the faculty Of the college and conducted
to the spacious hall, where the invited
guests and students we're awaiting him.
An English address was read by Mr.,
Julius Lopez, of the Glass '03. During
his address the young orator took occa-
sion to refer to the grand opportunities
that await the youth OF America. He
referred to the educational institutions,
and OF st. Stanislaus in particular and
wound up his address by saying, "that
no student left its halls without feeling
himself more Of Christian, more of an
American, more OF man." The junior
department also presented an address Of
welcome. II was in French and was
we'll rendered by Master Anatole Kel-
Ter. Brother Paulus responded to both
addresses. He spoke first in English.
Thanking the students for their kind
ness in thus welcoming him, he praised
them for their manly and general excel
lence in studies, for he had carefully
noted the reports received OF them. He
remarked that while the French institu-
tions applied themselves to more theo
retic study of the different study Of the
different sciences than in this country,
he admired our Al application of science.
He then gave the students and faculty a
holiday in honor of his visit. During
the reception the S. G. Orchestra rem
dered some OF the classic selections, and
Brother Paulus, who is himself an artist,
complimented them on their high order
of excellence.
On Monday the Superior General left
for New Orleans to continue his tour oi
inspection of the different schools OF the
order in the United States and Canada
Prof. VIM. Sadlier is to be congratu-
mented on the satisfactory progress
made in the gymnasium. Brother Os-
mond, the Provincial was present at q
seance given on Sunday night, and ex-

cy had been acquires in the department
during such short time. Several gan OF

 The campaign for municipal offices is growing more and more interesting as election day approaches and the candi- dates are busy from morning until night making known their especial fitness to serve the public. few of the larger oft1- cers, notable those of Chief of Police, Cap tain of Police, Tax Assessor and Tax Col lector, are being coutended for by only one candidate to each. but for all other positions the race is warm. The contest for seats in the City Coun- oil seems the closest as well as the most warmly fought, for there are more than enough candidates to represent the five wards of the city in the municipal legis- lative body.
 < Printers ink is not being spared and the seekers after opportunities to serve the people are using newspapers and s'dodgers'' to herald their virtues. to the duly qualified.
 The primary will be held Monday next. Tt is interesting to note that the 'second primary law does not obtain in Selma and that to be elected a candidate has only to lead his ticket and not to secure a majority of all the votes cast.
 For number of offices, especially for positions in the Council, there are more than two candidates for each place and among many voters there prevailed an impression that second primary might have to be held.
