CARL C0CHEMS
 A FIRE FIGHTER
How He Helped His Brothers Candi-
 dacy for Congress.

In fire which occurred at Hartland, Wis. on the 26th of July, Carl Cochems, who for two years past was connected with the Arizona School of Music as vocal instructor. distinguished himself by committing a brave act which probably saved from destruction seven valuable buildings. Cochems was in Hartland on business connected with his brothers campaign for the repub- lican nomination for congress in the Fifth district of Wisconsin. The Mil waukee Free Press. under a HartIand date line. prints the following dis patch:
 "The work of Carl Cochems. Mil waukee and Earl Kerr, Hartland. dur ing the fire which destroyed part of Hartland on Wednesday. probably saved seven buildings from destruction and citizens of Hartland are liberal in their praise of the two brave young men.
 At the corner of North avenue and Main street stood Peabody's grocery store. Between the store and the bridge stood seven buildings in a row. The wind was driving the flames to- ward the Peabody store. when Co., chems saw that if the store was saved probably the seven buildings also would DC SdFtu I1e suggested that efIOftS be made to save the Peabody store. but no one seemed disposed to assist.
 Seeing that there was no use of ex- horting, Cochems climbed upon the roof of the building and shouted for others to pass him water. Earl Kerr then also climbed on the building to help Cochems. Water was passed to the two. and they fought the flames until the arrival of firemen from Oco- nomwoc. Although the Peabody store was burned. the other buildings were saved, because the fire was so vali- antly fought on the Peabody store.
 Both COchems and Kerr were com pletely exhausted by their efforts on the Peabody building. and both had their clothes practically burned from their bodies. COchems was so badly ex- hausted that in attempting to finally leave the burning roof of the Peabody building he fell off, dropping a dis tance of twenty feet. He was unhurt by the fall. Both Cochems and Kerr were slightly burned about their faces and hands"
 After leaving Phoenix MT. COchems went to Milwaukee for the purpose of visiting his brother. and it was on the date of his arrival that his brother an

 There goes the cloak that Mrs. White told you about. The head valet adds the trihing information that the garment contains 200 buttonholes, all made by hand. These buttonholes slip over little brass knobs or hooks that are all around the lower edge of the wooden chair or car that the elephant carries on his back and so stays se- curely in place.
 Suddenly you grasp Mrs. Whites hand-she is cOrnered somewhere in the dark with you-and you ask,
 'Don't-don't they wear anything except coats?"
 "oh. yes!" answers Mrs. White; hats"
 You are silent for a moment. but your curiosity will not be kept down long.
 But nothing else-never anything but coats and hats?"
 And Mrs. White laughs because she has sense of humor. and who could make elephant coats for B years with out having a broad, generous apprecia- tion of the ridiculous!

FOUND BROOK, Oct. 27.AOn De-
tober 20 George T. Rogers, Of North
P~lainfeld, addressed a lsser to VIII
liam w. Smalley, of this place, who
is the Somerset county republican
candidate for member of assembly.
in which Mr.. Rogers asked the cam
didate to pledge himself not to vote
for the reelection of United States
Senator John F. Dryden in the event
of his own election. and setting forth
that il he would not do so, hee(Rog-
ers) could not support his nominal
ton.
Mr., smalley in reply. sent the fol-
lowing:
your letter of the 22d received.
and l am very glad 10 get your views
on the subject which is of such great
interest.
81 can but repeat the statement
made before the convention when,
after much urging, | accepted the
nomination, that | must be entirely
%unpledged to any one or any thing.
If elected shall be free to use my
Judgment on matters or interest to
my constituency"
Mr.. Rogers, under date Of yester-
day, has again addressed Candi-
date Smalley as follows:
Your favor of the 23d inst, in re-
ply to mine of the 22d, duly received.
| note that You do not state your po-
sition on Mr.. Dryden for United
Staes senator. ] believe that a very
large majority OF the republicans in
Somerset county ere opposed to him.
A candidate expecting the support OF
the voters o-gnt to be willing to state
his attitude il advance on an issue
of so much importance. At least
it will be necessary for you to do so,
if you are TO get my vote. After
your election you win have the pow
err to vote for the United Staes SEN
| ator, but no better opportunity than
your constituents have now to judge
of the merits OF n candidate"
Mr.. ROBBERS lives in the Washing
ton Park section CT North Plainfield.
There SENS to be a strong sentl-
ment here and throughout Somerset
| county in favor of Colonel e. A. Stew
ems for United States senator. This
is particularly strong in the Ber-
n%ardsville Hills, where MI. Stevens
| maintains a handsome summer home
| and entertains lavlshly during the
summer.
Mr.. Smalley's nomination was
forced upon him by his friends here.
! He is a man of independent charac-
! ter, and would, he says, prefer to re-
main at home soner than to obtain
his election by any pledges OF sup
| port to any one OF any thing.

DEBATE ABOUT
SCHOOL BOARD
Members Of the Washington Club
Argue As to Boards EleC-
ton or Appointment.

A special meeting Of the Washing

a. special meeting of the Washing
ton club took place a few evening
ago, and when the regular business
was transacted an informal discus
sion took place regarding questions
before the people of this city at the
present time, particularly regarding
the school board, whether better re-
suits could be obtained by having
that board elected by the people OF
appointed.
Each side of the question had its
advocates ,sbbut each side had intel
lect enough to see that their view
was not infallible. One man said
that the people would be served bet
ter by an appointive board, qualify
ing his view, however, by saying that
it is first necessary to. have a mayor
of good educational requirements, to-
gether with a good sound common
sense, as. well as practicable ability,
that he be imbued with the spirit of
our institutions, free from %sectarian
bigotry, and without that egotisrl
which Is inherent in so-called edu-
Gated men; that he should be indie
pendent of political influences, par
ticularly of that species of ignorant
politicians known as Ward heller"
that his appointees should be by
partisan, selected for their especial
qualifications as we'll as their inn
partial administrative abilities for the
duties they would have to perform.
On the other hand it was contend
ed that the city might get men of the
above requirements from time to
time, but would be unaBe to do so
continually: that abuses would creep
in from familiarity with their du-
ties, and that conditions would be no
better than they would be under an
elective board with the possible ex-
ception that deadlocks would be
avoided such as we have recently X
perienced. 1t was also commended
that any law-making body appointed
by any executive is in direct opposi
ton to the spirit and letter of the
constitution of the United States
upon which all our laws, federal and
state as we'll as municipal, must be
based; also that it is in violation OF
the laws extending to citizens OF
United States the right to say who
shall make the laws which they arc
bound to obey.
There were other views put forth,
but all eventually agreed that ,the
people themselves are the most to
blame for abuses of this kind in the
body-politic, because they neglect
their responsibilities as citizens by
ignoring their duties at the primar-
les, the foundation of all our govern
eminent and laws, and leave it in the
iharfds oftignorant and irresponsible
people to be manipulated for theiI
own purposes.
1t was also asserted, and with rea-
son, hat because of this remissnesa
on the part of the people, men are
sent to the legislatures, both state
and national, to make laws which
are placed in the statute books to be
executed by officials appointed fol
that purpose and which couses It'll
cation which entails an immense
amount of time, trouble, expense, EN-.
barrassment and mischief, before
they are finally declared null and
void by the only institution which
stands between the people and vicious
and Illegal litigation, an incorrupt'
ible and learned judiciary.
