FIRE.

The recent disastrous fire at the cor
ner of Union and Coryell streets, again
illustrates the effectiveness of our fire
department. There is no question as
to the up Ia date excellence of the APP
paratus and our people have every rea-
son to be proud of the efficient manner
in which il is handled. Too much
praise cannot be given to the members
of the fire com panies for their prompt
and efiectual work, without compen-
sation, when called TO eNtinguish fire
This last fire would have been disas-
trous If ii had been allowed to gain
any headway and in view of the dltli-
culties in the ease II is marvellous that
ii was confined To the limits of the
building in which ii originated.
As in this instance it is almost al
ways the ease that the water causes rs
much damage as the fire or more and
il IN most unfortunate that some way
cannot be found by which the fire
could be earlier attacked and some of
this damage prevented.
The infrequeney of fires with rs does
not seem To warrant providing crews
and teams TO be always In readiness,
but certainly the delay incident 10
rousing men from sleep and dragging
engines by hand allows the blaze To
gain headway which little earlier
effort would have subdued with COM
parative ease.
This would he remedied To some ex-
tent il arrangements could be nude
with some owner of team near each
engine house TO go there promptly and
aid in hauling the apparatus. Much
time might thus be saved, especially
when roads are bad and men are few
This plan would cost but little and
would be great saving in time aud
strength
Another and comparatively inexpen-
sive addition To our system would be II
few fire eXtinguishers of II size that II
man could carry, one placed nj each
engine house, To be taken to the fire by
the first man to arrive, and others in
different parts of the town in charge
of members of the fire companies, whose
duty it should. he to take them nj once
/ TO the place of alarm. The number Of
men Of each company who would be
thus detailed would not he great enough
10 hamper the movement of the engines
especially if horses are used as suggest
ed, and thegrent advantage of the early
arrival of the small extingulshers
would more than counterbalance any
possible disadvantage. In many eases
fires would be eYtinguished by this
means without the necessity of putting
the engine into service.
II is true that we should loss the OPP
portunity of praising the self sacrilic-
ing flrcmen, but it IN probable that
they would be satisfied TO forego this
in view of the greater saving OF prop
erty. n

of Common Council last Friday, at
1890 p. NJ, the new Board of Excise

IF the Board were adopted, after which
an application from Robert II. Liver
ton for license to keep an inn and
tavern at No. 10 Church street was
presented.
Mr.. Meehau stated that he had no
idea any business except the organi-
cation of the Board would be present
ed at this meeting and could not see
why Mr. Liverton could not wait a
few weeks longer and apply i'll Febru-
airy, when all the hotels in the city
will apply.
Mr.. Ent moved the license be grant
ed for one month, which was agreed
to, Mr.. Meehau voting i'll the negative.

signed by A. c. Wilson and J. W. Dill

1872 PARK AVE-, PHILADELPHIA,
January l, 1904.
My DEAR CmEF:
| just want to mpliment'you, your
assistants aud the members of the de-
partment upon the efficient work at
the Hooker building fire OH Sunday
morning last. From description
given me by my son Herbert am sat
isfed that the old spirit still remains
with the boys" Fight to finish, "
no matter what the conditions. 1t
gives me great pleasure to say good
word for your department, as it is still
dear to me. For the sixteen years
that | occupied the position of Chief
there we're two places | always dread
ed fire to start-the spoke mill and the
row between Coryell and Church
streets, on Union. II is almost be-
youd conception how the fire was con-
trolled under the series of mishaps
which occurred and over which you
burned and the loss extended to one
or two thousand dollars, then the in
efficiency of the department would
have been the theme of conversation.
1t is no more than justice that credit
should be given when il is due and by
those interested financially, as credit
or praise is about all a volunteer fire
man expects.
wish you would express to the boys
my confidence III their ability to cope
with the fire. hend at any time and un-
der all circumstances. While there
we're some differences of opinion
among us, always found them ready
and willing to act when called upon
and results proved that union in ae-
tion brought success.
If not too late, let me wish yon all a
happy New Year.
Respectfully,
{. II. W. VAN SEWER.

by any method. The average victim
OF a swindle expects TO get some
thing for nothing, although ordinary
common sense ought TO show him
the impossibility of this. In many
instances he thinks that he eonnlVes
at crime The vender of bogus money
makes, his victim a participant in OF
fense. when any such money passes.
Ii nothing but harmless brown paper
changes hands, the victim neyerthe-
less feels himself morally guilty. The
man who buys a ''gold" brick inYar-
iably gets il from some one who is
supposed TO have stolen il. If not a
fool he would know that the lawful
possessor of a gold brick would take

The fact that the great majority OF
people are poor, and always will be
poor. is a difficult one TO swallow
but the sooner swallowed and digest
ed the better for human happiness,
Those who prosper so as 70 acquire
a competency must DO SO by earnest
endeavor, combined with an acquistive
faculty which many utterly lack. The
great captains of industry are part
Iy the creatures of circumstance and
partly freebOoters, this with all re-
spect for the proportion who are
neither. The ambition of the ordi-
nary mortal to be a Rockefeller is as
futile as would be that Of being a
Shakespeare. The flock seeking Wall
Street, there to be sheared, or buying
from a street faker tin jewelry SET
with glass, are all inspired by one
motive, and the intelligence of the
latter type measures up fully to that
of the former.
