comfort of the men at all big fires in Man.

Lantry said yesterday that the wagon was
of special construction and would be in
service in a few days. The vehicle is to
have a boiler for making coffee and coun-
ter for making sandwiches. Three firemeu
have been assigned to the wagon, which Is
to have quarters at the department stables
at Amsterdam avenue and Goth street. 1t
will respond to three-alarm fires.
One of the men will be the driver. another
will make sandwiches and coffee and the
third will distribute the food to the firemen.
This innovation will be watched in the ex-
detrimental stage and IL successful other
hot coffee companies will be formed for diff
ferent parts of the city.
The commissioner believes that the fire.
men while fighting flames in severe cold
weather feel the need of warm drinks.
Since he took charge of the department he
has frequently warned them against the use
Of alcoholic drinks. He was debating
whether the law would permit him to sup
ply hot coffee at the expense of the depart
ment when a delegation of the f1remen
called upon him with a suggestion about the
coffee wagon.
The men said they wanted to pay for
their own coffee and sandwiches, and did
not want to. be looked upon as objects OF
public charity. At some fires sympathetic
residents of the neighborhood had given
them hot coffee. The delegation proposed
that the department supply the wagon. and
the firemen would contribute to fund to
pay for the coffee and sandwiches. The as
sessment on the men would not be more
than % cents a year on each Individual. 1t

CIVIC CLEANLINESS.
Baltimore Anti-Smoke League Wants
Law Enforced. -.s,--,z.

Law Enforced. ---,----a7
BALTIMORE, December 11.-Chairman
David Stewart Of the Anti-Smoke League
has prepared his sixth letter to the mem
bers Of the league, which numbers more
than 1000. The letter contains the new
anti-smoke ordinances and suggestions for
the winter campaign. In 1t Mr.. Stewart
prints in full the anti-smoke ordinance;
which prohibits the discharge of black or
gray smoke within the corporate limits of
the city.
Further on Mr.. Stewart says that notice
was given by advertisement to smoke pro-
ducers that they would have to comply with
the ordinance after January 1 and that spe-
cial notice was sent to fragrant offenders.
In speaking of the ordinance, Chairman
Stewart says:
1.-THE ordinance provides in effect that 1t
will be good defense If any smoke Of
fender can prove that he could not help
throwing out smoke. and this will be prob
ably the excuse offered by the railroads.
AS you know, the Pennsylvania railroad
claims that it has done all that it can do
under present conditions. It has done more
than any one in Baltimore toward dimin-
tshing Its smoke, but 1t was, and Is STILL
the greatest offender, and 1t has really
great difficulties to meet
when the league first took up the anti
smoke agitation its members were rather
inclined to believe that black smoke was
necessary result of burning soft coal and
that it would be a hardship to require
manufacturers TO use nara COAL ana lnal,
for the commercial good of the city, manu-
facturers should be exempt But the more
we studied the question and the more we
heard from experts, and the more we read
reports of what had actually been done
elsewhere the better convinced we BECAME
that soft coal can be burned without the
production, for more than q. few minutes
at time. OF any considerable volume, of
smoke. -. - =
1--WE were most anxious that no exception
of any kind should be made IN favor Of
manufacturers. We believed that If they
saved money by throwing smoke upon the
public they were making an unfair profit
at the expense Of their nefghbors, but we
also became convinced that by preventing
smoke the manufacturers would save
money. 1t was found at the Belvedere that
q great deal of coal was saved by the
smoke-preventing device. The same result
was reported by the superintendent OF the
post Office building. And numerous certif-
Gates to the same effect have come from
other places in Baltimore, and more par
ticularly from other cities.

Grand Opera House

Eccentricity Of makeup and the COM
icality of Irish mannerisms are the
whole show at the Grand this week.
Murray and Mack, in their latest ve-
hicle, around the Town." amuse audi
ences just as they have always done
for years beyond the memory of man.
Pretty girls, new and tuneful songs
and graceful dances abound in the me-
lange of nonsense, and theatergoers
who attend the Grand this week ex-
pecting to be amused will certainly not
be disappointed.
The airy nonchalance of Ollie Mack,
who portrays Timothy Sweeney, an
Irish contractor, is unSurpassable. His
gay and lively wit combined with the
undertaker-like solemnity with which
Charles A. Murray delivers jokes equal
ly funny form a combination which for
levity is inimitable.
The boxing match which the friends
Sweeney and O'Brien have is one of
the funniest features of the show. The
bout is finally ended when Sweeney
kicks OBrien In the tummy and makes
him take the count. AS a Brutal
Brothers bruising match this pair is
singularly convincing and pleasing.
Gladys Van, the soubrette, is one Of
the most vivacious and lively persons
who have appeared on the Grand stage
for some time. She dances and sings in
a perfectly delightful manner and the
gallery protests violently when she fin
ally refuses to respond to the uproar-
ious applause.
A female baritone, Miss Purcell by
name, sang the chorus to I'm My Merry
Automobile" at least eight times and
every time the applause was more pro-
nounced At last, from sheer lack Of
breath, she was forced to stop. She
reassured the members of the audi
ence that they could go as far as they
liked with her in her beautiful benzne
buggy Perhaps that explains the vigor
of the applause.
Twelve late songs are sung, most OF
them passably we'll The show is well
mounted, the swing scene being prac-
tically noteworthy.

"Kniehthoodo at Belasco

No less enthusiastic was the audience
which greeted the Belasco Stock COM
pany's presentation Of when Knight
hood was in Flower" at the opening OF
the second week last night, than at the
initial performance.
Miss Bugenia That's Lawton began
her second week as Mary Tudor with
her heart in the part al much as If she
had not been playing It for seven days
and II possible her performance was
more finished than last Monday night
The entire company Is we'll cast in
the play and the added rehearsals have
removed the biggest difficulty with
which managers of stock company
are confronted-that of turning out a
well rounded production Every little
detail has been given attention by
George Barnum and as n result the play
excels anything ever presented by a Los
Angeles stock company.
The scenic effects, which were pleas
ing at first, have been improved.
From the time the curtain rises on
the dance. with its gay costumes and
garlands of blossoms until 1t drops for
the last time on Mary Tudor and
Charles Brandon the victors i'm the
court of Henry VIII there Is one beau
tiful effect after another. The dual
scene in which the honors are equally
divided between George Barnum and
Joseph Galbraith Is admitted by all to
be one of the best ever seen on a Los
Angeles stage.

night when asked why he did not arrest
A. D. Dodson, who, it is alleged, went
to Los Angeles yesterday and accumu-
lated a happy-go-lucky brand of jag.
When he got home he didn't care
whether he had home or not, and he
took the butcher knife and started in
to make sausage of his wife and help
meet Mrs Dodson.
She screamed vigorously and soon
the marshal arrived. He was for talk
ing Dodson to Los Angeles, but the
spouse of the convivial soul refused to
swear out a warrant for her husband S
arrest
Then, as the marshal had mo Jug
in which to confine the inebriate. he
released him, and again Dodson
wended his way to his home with the
intention of slaughtering the wife of
his bosom.
Mrs. Dodson had in the meantime
escaped to the home of friends, and her
husband, seeking her with carving
knife held carelessly in his hand,
searched the town over for her.
Officer Fry asserted that he would
have taken the man to Los Angeles to
the county Jail had it not been for the
fact that Judge Herndon, by whom
commitment papers would have to be
drawn up, was at the Soldiers home for
the evening and could not be found.
