Fire Alarm Box Installed.

The fire alarm box which was to be in
stalled in the Little Sisters of the Poor for
the Home Of the Aged. has been secured
and placed in service. This institution has
a great many old persons, male and female,
whose ages range from 65 to 105 years,
and Chief Engineer William T. Belt has al
ways looked upon this institution as enc
needing the most prompt attention in case
of fire.
When the subject was suggested to the
mother superior of the institution, II was
found that there was no funds to erect this
box and Mrs. c. F. Beers, wife of Capt.
Beers of the fire department interested
herself in the matter and received through
voluntary subscription enough money to in
stall the fire alarm box. The box is now in
service and Chief Belt he's assigned four
engines, two trucks, water tower. two as
sistant chiefs and himself to respond TO this
box in case of fire.

HEAVY RUSH OF WATER
WATER MAIN BREAKS UNDER
HIGH PRESSURE.

The merchants and residents in the VI
cinity of 7th and Q streets northwest were
visited by small flood about 1890 clock
this forenoon, and considerable damage Is
said to have resulted before the flow of wa
ter was cut off by the authorities. The
flooding of the streets resulted because the
last ten pounds of the thirty pounds extra
pressure on the water pipes of the north
west section of the city was put on this
morning
The first intimation the citizens had tina.
trouble was brewing was when Mr.. FRANK
Jones noticed that the sidewalks were
bullying.
Il felt the pavement rising under my
feet said Mr. Jones to Star reporter,
land my mind was quickly filled with
visions of earthquakes and other dire ca
lamities. This was at 7th and Q streets.
There is a tall telegraph pole about sixty
feet from . street, and l was further
startled by seeing a column of water rise
from the ground close by this pole. 1t
played high in the air like a fountain, and
l was wondering what it all meant, when
colored man who was formerly employed
by the water department shouted
De water mains done bust
Continued to Squirt.
Mr.. Jones said that water continued to
squirt from the ground at several places I'M
lakes were forming in the depressed places.
For distance of between sixty and seventy
feet the pavement bulged upward the rise
being fully six inches in some places. In
the meantime the water poured into the
street and flooded several cellars
A hurry call was sent to the police sta
lions and the water department, and then
1t was learned that the break was in the
six-inch main under 7th street. The water
department men arrived quickly on the
scene and half hour later the flooding of
the roadway stopped.
The high pressure service was inaugu-
rated Thursday, when about ten pounds
extra was forced into the pipes. Since that
time the pressure has been increased until
now the full thirty pounds is on. 1t Is
possible that many pipes have burst, but
that the owners or occupants of the houses
affected appealed Immediately to the
plumbers and made no report of the matter
to the District officials.
The other cases of breaks reported to the
water department today include two small
leaks in the water mains at 18th and X
streets and at 10th and streets, and two
leaks in service pipes. all in the northwest
section of the city. No appreciable damage
was done in these cases, but the damage
oecasioned at 18th and . streets by the
bursting of the six-inch main is said to
have been considerable.

BRIGHTWooD AVENUE LIGHTS
Letter Sent to District Commissioner.
on the Subject.

The following letter, signed by Louis p.
Shoemaker. vice president of the Bright
wood Citizens Association; John G. Keene,
secretary and Mr.. A. e. Mclaughlin of
the executive committee, was forwarded to-
day to the Commissioners of the District
of Columbia:
Hon Commissioners for the District of
Columbia.
Gentlemen:
Enclosed herewith I send a letter which
was received by Louis P. Shoemaker, dated
October 10, 1904, in which Dr. Tindall, your
secretary says that the lighting of Bright
wood avenue from the Soldiers Home north
to the District line has been included in
the estimates for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1896, and amount sufficient to
maintain arc lamps from the last arc lamp
on this avenue from Rock Creek Church
read northward to the District line.
ut is useless for me to direct your atten-
ton to the Importance of electric lights on
this great thoroughfare. Hundreds of au-
tomobiles go to and fro every evening after
dark, which, together with the electric car
line and the immence travel of venic.es
from Montgomery county and the pleasure
arriving public of the District, make it ex-
have already happened within the last
few years. Horses have been killed ami
several persons have been severely injured
1t Is now very imperfectly lighted, and
respectfully ask that electric lights be pro-
vided as soon as possible.
Now that the roadway is in very good
condition, although for years 1t remained
unfinished and dangerous to the driving
public, may I direct your attention to the
condition of the car tracks? In many places
they can be found above the pavement
from six to eight inches, consequently
they are very dangerous to those who have
tc cross and recross them frequently in
order to keep out of the way of approach
Ing teams Cannot the railroad company
be required to fill earth between these
tracks and thus correct the Inconvenience
and danger which at the present time ex-
ists?"

RIVERSIDE, Dec. 1.-two of River
sides most prominent citizens were in
volved today in a suit being tried in
the superior court in which the issue
was 1884 P. T. Evans was the plain
tiff, and he was suing Frank A. Miller
of the Glenwood hotel for the value of
postoffice fixtures. The plaintiff in
the action is the Rubidoux Building
company, which Is Evans.
The beginning of the trouble goes
back several years when the postoffice
was moved from the Rubidoux block
to the Frost block its present site.
Miller secured the change of location,
getting the postoffice nearer the hotel.
When the postoffice was moved the
fixtures were taken along too. There
has been more or less trouble over the
fixtures ever since and it eliminated
a few months ago in both parties
agreeing to arbitrate the matter, Harry
B. Chase being chosen arbitrator.
Chase awarded Evans the amount

CAUGHT BY CURIOSITY

Special to The Herald
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 16.-
Mamma, is that the way women looked
when they wore hoops?' was ques-
ton asked by little girl in a store at
Delphi the other day, and it led directly
to the arrest of three men and two
women who have been identified as
notorious shoftlifters and who have
stolen more than $1,000 worth of fine
wraps in this city the last week.
When a cloak house was robbed Of
sealskins last week of the value of
$1025, it was found that the women sus-
pected had gone to Plainfield from
this city and had there robbed q money
drawer.
The shipping of suit case to Chicago
resulted in the recovery of part of the
stolen property, but the thieves could
not be found. 1t was discovered late
yesterday afternoon that the shoplifters
did not follow the suit case, but went
to Delphi, where they entered the store
of j. r. Ives & Son, and when ap-
preached by the clerk said they were
waiting for a friend and simply were
looking around. No further attention
was paid to them, but when they left
the store little Mary Wise propounded
the fateful question.
This aroused the suspicion of n clerk
and she noticed that the two women
wore skirts which were plated and
each plait contained a large pocket.
They were followed to a hotel and ar
rested. One hundred and fifty dollars
worth of goods stolen from the Ives
store was found upon them. They gave
their names as Pat Hammill of In
dianapoliS, Jim Hurdick, George Mac
key, May Armstrong and Georgia Mac
key of Chicago.

But no more me than 1 am one
With the brute rock / rest upon;
For how may brow or eye reveal
The infinites wherewith l deal?
Nay 1 will break thee, mirror mine!

The outward body but bowl
That covers in the mounting soul.

No flesh alone, but blood and breath,
Lo, Lear, Lord Hamlet and Macbeth!

Since thou dost bear false tales of
