CONTEST is
VERY WARM.
Another Interesting Letter from
Fireman Gives Some In
side Light on Election.
Editor NEWS;

Editor EVENING NEWS:
The candidates already nominated
for assistant chiefs of the fire depart
mem are not losing any time making
votes, and putting their henchmen in
trim for the fray.
Sunday last, witnessed their first
earnest efforts. Mullen, with his
camera. was noticed lowering around
the Washington house taking snap
shots of the chemical wagon, mascot,
etc. and tickling tn members with n
whole batch of new stories. Gene
knows that ii is going to be q close
contest and he is making every en-
deavor to win. Mead, his opponent,
was the man with the hose, He was
at work in front Of I%incoln's house,
and the sidewalk was cleanly washed,
the platforms. which span the cutters.
w~ere"raised and the mud and accumu-
lated debris washed away. a pointer
to Mead: there is a faulty collar at
tached to the swinging harness in the
Lincoln house, get your tools, repair
the defective swapping arrangement
and you will earn the lasting graft
tude and may be votes of all the
'Links."
1t is learned from the best Of auth
GRITTY that Patrick Rocks, now fore
man of Mcclellan Engine Company,
will be nominated for first assistant
chief at the next meeting of that COM
pany, to oppose Thomas Baker. NOM
inee of Washington hose. There is
not as much interest manifested in
this contest as between Mead and
Mullen, the general opinion expressed
is to the effect that Rocks would have
a walkover. Look over the whole de-
partment and it would be hard to find
a man that is not a friend to genial
Paddy"
The talk of an opponent to Glenn,
for chief, has about petered out, and
the rumors that were floating about
we're traced to misty air. The Mullen
faction has endorsed Glenn and any
opposition now made TO his election
would tend to %injure Mead's interests,
and very seriously, too.
What the Eagles propose to do at
their next meeting is an unknown
quantity and they may spring q joke
that will jar the nominees for assis-
tants. In their remarks a great many
show a preference for Rocks, yet they
avoid any reference to Mead or Null
len. An Eagle nominee for second
assistant would undoubtedly injure
Mullen.
No heavy bets have, as yet, been
recorded, the odds when posted may
show something more definite.

There are many charms Of winter the sea-

the best are skating, sleighing, coasting and
dancing. We can go to more plays and parties
to enjoy ourselves. Then we have Christmas
Day, which to remember our loved friends.
On winter evenings the family circle is complete,
we ask our friends and neighbors in, and sit
around the fire telling stories, singing, eating
nuts and having a good time When everything
is covered with heavy frost and the sun shines
brightly upon it, it makes a very beautiful and
