all councilmen, except Blanchard,

Creating the position of a superin-

the present time would be a useless
waste of the city funds, as there has

more ably equipped to handle this
work than ever before and are not in
need of assistance in that quarter.
This ordinance was passed without
the consent or recommendation of the

New Treasurer Will Deduct Two Per

Fire commissioners and Chief Lips

that every fireman since the last SeS-

assessed 2 per cent on his wages each

mems pension fund.
No one has ever had his pay assessed
and apparently no one has read the
statutes on the subject. until the city
attorneys office, in looking for prece-
dents in the case of Fireman Frank
Willetts, a pension claimant, ran across
statute passed at the 1905 session
specifying how the pension fund shall
be built up.
When Assistant City Attorney How
ard Robertson sprang the new law he
startled every one present yesterday
morning.
Everybody Surprised
THAT is a new one on me. 1 never
knew of such a provision" said Chief
Lips.
Mayor McAleer and Commissioners
Schwamm and Wren chimed in like
wise.
They had ben trying to find ways of
paying firemen injured in the public
service a reasonable salary and yet
keep within the law, and the bombshell
was thrown then and there.
"That isn't nice New Years pres
ent to give the firemen," said Commis-
soienr Schwamm, and he baked when
the mayor asked him to second a mo-
ton that Clerk Charles McKeag be
notified to call the attention of the city
treasurer to the fact that safe law
was being ignored.
mo Stree. Let the treasurer find it
out himself. The firemen will not thank
us for that notice." said Mr. Schwamm
1t was finally decided that it was best
to prepare the fremen for the an
nouncement, as the next treasurer
might abstract the back assessments
out from the firemen's pay and hard
ship would follow.
The secretary will therefore send due
notice and in the meantime Chief Lips
asked for carbon copies of the law to
post in the engine houses.
At present the main sources Of reVe-
nue. for the fund are the rewards which
are paid firemen by firms ana others
who are grateful for work done by
the department and the fines impos7c
on flremen for various reasons, such
as missing a fire call, etc.
Auditor Furnished Money

the part they played. Some have
figured in mans attire in both the
army and the navy, and for all whose
identity became disclosed there were
doubtless many others who preserved
the secret of their sex, despite the
proverbial tendency of feminine mem
bers Of society to make known the
facts which should be most sedulous-
ly concealed.
OF the American women who have
taken part in warlike scenes, none is
more widely known than "Mollie
Pitcher" the heroine of Monmouth.
This battle was one of the important
conflicts of the Revolution, and was
fought in the summer of 1878, when
the British troops, retreating from
Philadelphia, were overtaken and at
tackled in New Jersey by the Cont
mental forces under Washington AL
though no decisive result occurred
from the battle, the fact that the
American forces were not repulsed
by the foreign foe gave heart to the
colonies to continue the efforts be-
gun two years before, and which were
to last five years longer before sue
cess was attained In the troops
from Pennsylvania was John Hays,
a gunner In the First Artillery, Con-
tinental line. He had been accom-
panied by his wife when the troops
to which he belonged had been sent
to the field and she busted herself in
doing laundry work for the officers.
On that July day, when the fight
ragged on the New Jersey plain, the
thermometer standing at niuety-six
degrees in the shade, Mrs. Mary Hays
busted herself in carrying water in
pitcher from a spring to the hot and
wearied troops Here's Molly with
the pitcher" was frequently heard
from the thirsty Continentals, and
finally it was abbreviated to Here,
Molly Pitcher, and the sobriquet was
permanently substituted for her real
name when she displayed gallantry
and herosm which surpassed her linn
itations Of sex.
The company in which Hays was
fighting and in which he was a ram
mer was stationed on rising ground
between the brigades commanded by
Livingston and Varnum In dash
by British cavalry and infantry Hays
was shot down, but not killed, and
call was made for some one to fill
his place No man appeared, but his
wife, dropping the pitcher, picked up
the hammer which her husband had
held, and said she would avenge him.
She served with the smoking cannon
throughout the rest of the battle, and
her courage was commended by the
seasoned troops. The next day the !
