Offended at Chairman.


The men became offended at Chair
man Oliver of the Board of Public
Safety, because the latter had criti-
eised the dress of some of the men of
the fire department This was done
at the meeting of the Board of Pub
lie Safety Wednesday night, when the
chairman called the attention of the
chief of the department to the dress
of one man in particular, and stated
that it was a disgrace to the depart
ment and to the city.
The firemen stationed at houses
Nos. l and on Garden street, took
offense, being under the impression
that the chairman referred to all of
the members of the department. and
they stated Thursday night that I'M
less an~explanation was made and an
apology offered they would quit work.
No Apology to Make.
Chairman Oliver stated to one of
the men yesterday morning that he
had no apology to make. He eX-
planned his statement to the board,
and said that it reflected upon none
but those who did not dress properly
when lOunging about the truck
houses. This, it is stated, was told
to the other men, but they did not
deem it sufficient so shortly after re-
turning from fire yesterday after
noon seven of them, among whom
were captains of the companies, left
the fire headquarters This left only
Assistant Chief D'Alemberte and
Fireman Etheridge on duty but later
Fireman Briggs arrived, and with an
extra man the hook and ladder truck
was manned. Chief BECKER lookup his
loft OF orf0 in
ing there until he could secure ca
pable men. Sanitary Inspector Andy
Graham, formerly in the department,
volunteered his services and before
o'clock the No. 2 truck was in
commission, though short one man.
Four Men Arrested.
Last night about o'clock four of
the men were taken into custody by
Marshal Sanders and Officer Spots
wood. They were arrested together
on Palafox street on the charge of
disorderly conduct. The men were
Firemen Sheehan, Yniestra, Farinas
and Sanchez.
Statement of Chairman.
Chairman Oliver stated to Journal
representative yesterday afternoon
that the men had taken the step
through a misunderstanding of what
he had stated before the board. In
recently passing a truck house he
saw a fireman seated in front of the
place attired in very unbecoming
manner. He reported this to the
chief of the department at the board
meeting, with the statement that it
was disgrace to the department to
allow men to clothe themselves in
such a manner. In making his re-
port he did so with the idea that it
was his duty and to protect other
| firemen who appeared in their dress.
and he saw no reason why a fireman
who kept himself dressed neatly
could take offense.

French View Of Marriaqe.

The French, guided by reason, as
they would say, regard the institution
of matrimony as rational regulation
OF the fact Of sex, as compromise
between the rights of the individual
and the rights of society. The man
obeys, but under protest; he is will.
ing to sacrifice his liberty so far, but,
beyond that point, he regards self
abnegation as fanatical asceticism.
Marriage, under French usage, says
H. D. Sedgwick in Atlantic, is a part.
nersh1p, in which such matters as
character, tastes, education, birth and
property are to be considered; con.
tracing families scrutinize the pro-
posed bride and groom as if coming
up for admittance into a club. They
look at our custom of marrying for
love with amaZement, as we should
look at a grocer's cart that started
on its rounds at 80 miles an hour.
Our system confines it's view to the
romantic dreams of youth, and re.
CARDS matrimony rather as holiday
cruise than a voyage of life. We may
err in our endeavor to regard men
and women as disembodied spirits;
and yet We cannot but think that the
French err in their resolution to be
sensible and regard men and women
as animals taken in the tolls of soci-
ETY.. Our theory may look too far
into the future; theirs fingers too far
in the brutal past.

Where Some Writers Fail.

The most frequent defect in fiction
submitted For magazine use and, we
might add, in most of the fiction that
somehow gets published in book form,
is it's lack of spontaneity in conslruc-
ton and expression, says Harper's
Magazine. The writer of this manu-
featured fiction has a certain precalcu-
lated effect in view, with reference to
which he ambitiously contrives every
incident and situation of his story.
The harder he tries the more surely
he fails of any genuine appeal to his
readers. If he DISCUSSES his labor by
a facile mastery of dramatic material
and expression, he may succeed in
reaching crude sensibilities and, he
cause of his lower aim, may outsell
his betters. The multitude is easily
captivated by splendid artifce, which,
in exceptional instances, has COM
PEELED the admiration of even the ju-
dicious. We shall find, however, upon
close examination, that in such in
stances the writer has not, by his
strenuous effort, wholly closed the
door against all spontaneity. In
our day polite literature must appeal
to human sympathies, and the
writer's fertility of invention is of
little service.

CHASTITY Facts About Lynchinu.

No one can look at one of the pho
tographs of a lynching without a
sense of abysmal horror. It is not the
horror alone or chiefly of the thing
itself, the ugly, inanimate center of
the tragedy. 1t is the faces of the
spectators that shock our very souls.
They are always laughing faces. Good
nature, even jollity, seems to be the
note of these gatherings. Always we
see the faces of little boys grinning
cheerfully toward the camera. There
are women sometimes in the crowd,
and sometimes little girls. There is
no sign in these pictures of horror of
death, even OF grim satisfaction over
a difficult and obnoxious task per-
formed by necessity. The man who
called it "lynching bee" appreciated
the TRUE feelings of the lynchers.
Leave out the grim wreck i'm the cen
ter, and the picture might be taken
for an ordinary cheerful gathering at
country fair. Leave it in, saws a
writer in American Magazine, and.
oh, my brothers! it is not the dead.
but the living that terrifies.

The chief wealth of the forests Of
Java, at the present time, consists in
the wood Of the teak tree, which is
extensively employed for naval con-
struction. The trees are ordinarily
cut when they have attained an age
OF about 50 years and a height of be-
tween 60 and 20 feet. The species
most esteemed has wood of a brown
color possessing a greasy feeling ia
the touch. Since 1880 the teak has
been cultivated, and the cutting Of
the trees has been regulated by the
Dutch government A peculiar fea.
ture of the cutting, designed to cause
the wood to part slowly with it's san.
consists in the girdling of the trunks
short distance above the ground two
years before the trees are felled. The
timber is exported to all parts of Fin.

Long BRIDGE the historic old wooden structure
across the Potomac, connecting link between the
capital and the south, is being torn down. A mod
ern steel bridge has been completed to take it's
place.
With the bridge will go one of the Oldest
landmarks around the city. Every period in the
history of the capital draws some of it's interest
from the framework of the old structure.
In the war of 1872. when it reported that
the British fleet was approaching the capital,
thousands of volunteers from southern states
rushed across the bridge to defend Washington.
Many first families of Virginia moved bag and
baggage to this city when it was said the British
were coming.

A NEW WORLD LANGUAGE.

In spite of the failure of Volapuk
and other ambitious attempts to sup
ply humanity with a universal language
another one has been sprung upon the
world, and its advocates are using the
press extensively to advertise it. 1t is
called Esperanto" and the third In
| ternational Congress of the Esperan-
lists was held lately at Cambridge Uni
versity in England, with some LOO
world attending They were all en-
thusiastic that Esperanto is the COM
ing language, and that in a few years
everybody will, who is at all in the swim
in any country. be speaking the new
tongue. Esperanto has an alphabet of
2S letters, each representing only one
sound. Q, and Y are dropped. C is
modified to represent the sound of ch;
g is modified to give the sound of j;
represents the soui of V; is mOdi-
fed to give the sound of sh, and u is
modified to give the sound of W in
how" The language consists of about
500 root words. mainly from Italian,
oDdllSI lt SOlt duN
tage is that all the verb forms and de-
rivatives are formed regularly. and
when one knows the root words he can
easily understand or speak any of the
notifications of the word For exam
pie, ami is to love, and other forms are:
esti amante is to be loving; esti amite
is to have been loved: esti amonte is
to be about to love. Every other word,
without exception, is formed in SINH
lar manner. and thus the grammar
presents no difficulties. In spite of this,
Esperanto will probably have as short
course as Volapuk, its predecessor,
had. No language can be readily made:
it must grow. The English is the world
language of to-day, and the only thing
that prevents its rapid growth is its
horrible and senseless spelling. If it
were spelled phonetically as it should,
10 years from now would see the whole
world writing and speaking English.
