Chief Otto Gramm of the Laramie
fire department is now at work upon
his annual report to the city council.
which will be submitted at the meet
ing to be held next Tuesday night.
The report will not only cover the
transactions of the department for the
year, but it will embody the recon-
mendations the chief believes should
at this time. He was in consultation
this morning with the members of the
council committee on police mi fire
department, and the committee is con-
versant with the recommendations to
be made by the chief. These will be
an advance of salary for all the mem
bers of the fire department, including
the foreman, the engineer and the
driver of the steam engine, the fore
man himself acting as the driver for
the chemical engine. 1t will also in
clude the increase of the number of
the paid men of the department to
four, they to receive 500 per year
each instead of $50, as at present, Mr..
Gramm believing that in so doing he
will be able to get better men and
make them the more responsible to
the city for their services.
Changes in the Force.
The recent resignation of Engineer
Will Yelton and Driver Rauner left
vacancies which the chief has filled
by the appointment of Ed Ferber as
engineer and Will Kuhn as captain
and driver of the chemical engine, Al
Fisher as driver of the engine and
Leonard Hodgeman, Tom Chaplin,
Will Kelley and one yet to be named
as members of the department at the
engine house, having seven men thus
always Of duty at night, when they
are often needed the most.
New Engine Asked For.
But perhaps the most important rec
ommendation to be made by the chief
is that a new engine be purchased.
The present engine, MIR. Gramm will
say, has seen a quarter of a century
of hard service, and while on ordi'
nary occasions it does its duty and
does it we'll, there may come a time,
like that of yesterday morning, but
when the department will be able to
reach the right spot a little less to the
minute, and the need of a stronger
and safer engine will be felt.
New Alarm System.
The chief will also recommend the
bringing in of the entire telephone
service as a fire alarm system. The
alarms will be SEM from any of the
800 telephones in the city to the cen
trail office. where the operator, by a
simple and quick movement of her
hands, will send the alarm, with the
exact location of the fire, to the en-
CINE house and also to the homes OF
the chief and assistant chief, they re-
ceiving the warning at practically the
same moment that the alarm reaches
the nose house. The present alarm
boxes will be left in place, but the
cost of the new system, Mr.. Gramm
says, will not exceed the cost of two
of these boxes for the year.
Council Committee Conversant.
The council committee has seen all
pared, to approve them upon the show
ing made by the chief n the assist
ant chief. The fire department is now
the best in the state, and with the
recommendations of the heads of the
department carried out, it will still
further add to its efficiency.

HIDEOUS MISTAKE,

Judge P. Baldwin. formerly Of the Fed

Slavery in East Africa.

Bishop Tucker, of Uganda, has
something to say in the London
Spectator concerning slavery under
the British Gag which is not calcu-
lated to make him exactly popular
with those who believe that the un-
pleasant details of British rule
should be carefully suppressed. The
bishop recently passed through the
town of Mombasa, on the coast Of
British East Africa. Concerning its
control, he says with considerable
care for detail:
over the courthouse the Union Jack
flies. In that courthouse judge sits
an Englishncn-who receives his com
mission from his majesty the King he
is. moreover. paid by the British house
of commons. The depOsitions are taken
down on paper embossed with the royal
arms. and the processes Of the court are
issued in the name Of his majesty.
Having thereby established his
claim that Great Britain is boss of
that particular neck of land, he
continues:
An Arab or Swahili drags a wretched
slaVe-wOman before this court. This
woman is my property" he pleads. She
denies IT. The case IS gone into. The
decision Of the judge is given, and the
claim Of this man TO this woman as his
chattel is acknowledged, and she Is
dragged away 10 continue under the
aegis OF the Union Jack her miserable
existence Of servitude.
The bishop is telling what he
knows to be true. He is not relying
upon hearsay evidence. Several
years ago he contested for a fort
night a case on behalf of a slave in
that very town. And he says in con-
clusion:
The Union Jack may fly as proudly
as II Pleases over the courthouse: the
slave may fall down as in the melo-
drama and cry: Here at least I am
safe!' but II will be in vain.
This in 1907 Can it be possible
that England cannot do anything
about it?

SMALL MARGIN OF PROFIT IN
RAILWAY FARES.

In the suit in Pennsylvania Of the an
plication of the Pennsylvania railroad
TO have the 2-cent fare law declared in
valid. testimony was produced to show
that the reduction in fares would cause
a decrease in passenger revenue on the
Pennsylvania lines in the State of
H,oO0,0OO per annum. but it was not
proven that business would be conducted
at a loss If 2 cents per mile were the
maximum fare. During the first three
months of this year the railroad kept
careful watch on its passenger business
within the State. and it was in evidence
that the average rate per mile on the
one-way tickets was 2406 cents: on
round trip tickets. 2109 cents; on COM
mutation tickets, l046 cents, and upon
mileage books. 2 cents. making an aver
age on all classes Of 1.s9 cents per mile.

Is This a Conspiracy

Something ominous marks the
manner in which the Presidents de-
nuneiatioA of nature-fakers is met
with stories of all kinds from all
sorts and conditions of men and
women concerning their remark
able. experiences with dumb ami
mails. The President, If he reads
one-tenth of the stories now being
printed concerning the wonderful
achievements of domestic pets, to
say nothing of untamed quadru-
peds, must have made up his mind
ere this that there is a conspiracy
on foot to give him at least one
term as president OF the Ananias
club.
Never before at this season were
there so many tales OF cats bringing
up puppies with maternal devotion
and generosity. Not for years have
one-half as many dogs taken it into
their heads to rear large families of
orphaned kittens. Not for at least
twenty years has any one risen to
claim that toads are responding TO
whistling summonses from the back
porch, and this is the first year in
which squirrels climb into second
story windows and learn to play
pianos.
In justice to the Presidents posi-
tion, we don't like to believe that
there is a dog in Brighton, where
Lees birthday was recently cele-
brated, which rocks an infant child
TO sleep and composes it for a
newspaper picture contest, but the

section, which tries to waltz every
time a street organ grinder wanders
out toward the pasture land section
Of the city and begins to turn the
crank.
Nature-faking is taking, whether it
concerns wildcats and bears, or cats
and dogs. And if the nature-fakers
have organized a conspiracy for the
purpose of driving Mr.. Roosevelt up
tree, they have begun well by en-
| ploying good, hard-worIdng press
agents. But ii isn't exactly fair to

SuperlatiVeS Gone Wrong.

How far that is from exceeding
other similar gatherings every
reader of the account ought to
know.
At Camp Alger, in the course of
the war with Spain, for example,
from 10000 to $4,000 soldiers used
TO gather twice a week for out-of-
door concerts and dramatic per-
formances. The Warwick pageant
assembled twice 5000 persons, and
still more. Every Easter Sunday
sees the capacity of Spanish cir
cuses, built TO seat from 1000 TO

Epidaurus, Eretria, Sicyon, Delphi,
and Delos, any one of which could
hold 5000 in the inner tier of seats,
and some of which provided benches
for $4,000 or more.
This performance of rip Van

pines, its hills rolling away as they
did in Rips own time, on the very
site of Irving's inspiration, was
notable enough with 5000 persons
attending. Yet, so greatly do we
