Employees Are Appointed.

The fire alarm headquarters of the Dis
trict of Columbia, which for a number of
years has been located in the building
used by No. IA engine house, on Sth street
above D street northwest. has been re-
moved to the new District building. and
is today doing business there.
The fre-alarm headquarters not only
sends out alarms of fire. but acts as tele-
phone exchange for the offices of the
District government and supervises the
telephone patrol system used in the police
department.
The mechanism and apparatus used IN
fire alarm headquarters are particularly
intricate and expensive. Great care and
skill had to be exercised in moving them
from the old quarters to the new build
ing. Still greater care had to be exercised
I'm installing them. In connection with the
transfer the District has purchased con-
siderable additional apparatus.
First Department Installed.
This is the first branch OF the govern
ment to begin business in the new Dis
trict building. All the operators and Off
GERS connected with this branch of the
service reported at their offices on the

The work of moving the various other
branches and departments OF the DISTRICT
government into their future home was
started with vim today. For Severai
weeks the officials of the various DEPART
ments have been supervising the destruc-
ton of old papers and useless records
and condemning old furniture and getting
the things boxed and wrapped for re-
inoval.
Early this morning the big moving wag-
ons were backed up to the curb In front
of the District building. and during the
entire day made journeys to and from
the new building carrying furniture and
records, etc, that can be spared from the
offices in the old building without inter-

However. despite this hustle and prog

 He began life as a land surveyor. In 1772 he visited Kentucky and command l. ed a force of armed soldiers there. In IT'S he was elected to the Virginia of Kentucky.

tented 4o a certain extent by permit ting debutantes to wear satin. How over. it must be of the liberty variety and not of the handsomer and heavier kind. T.
 The reason for this modification is that this year fashion demands that all dresses. particularly ball dresses, must cling to the figure and drape gracefully. In reviewing the materials one may only find crepe de chine. llb- erty satin and chiffon that VIII pc suitable for ball gowns. The lines Of such dress for a young girl must be comparatively simple and the gowns should not be quite as sumptuous as they would be, were they intended for an older woman.
 For the. cool days of autumn and the colder days of winter there is no more useful garment for young and old, than the sweater. Nothing could be more useful for a little girl than sweater coat of gray yarn, buttoned down the front and finished with big pocket on each side. It may be worn under the overcoat. It keeps one warm, is not unwieldy and is invalua- ble when outdoor games are at their height. For skating days real sweat CT Is best; only, instead of having a high collar it should have V-shaped neck. Particularly becoming are skat- ing sweaters of white wool. when they are worn with a whitel skating cap.
 More suitable for grown-up women are the kimono jackets. built some what on the sweater order. They are made of a soft two-ply yarn and cFocheted in a fancy stitch.

These are no ordinary craft. mere vessels of trans- port plying hither and thither but the countless homes Of myriads of Chi nese, in which millions have been born. lived and died They are the dwellings of the very poor. who live in them practically free from rent, taxes and other burdens of the ordinary citizen.
 Tha Tankia (which means boat dwell. ers) as the denizens of these floating houses are called, form a sort of caste apart from the rest of the Cantonese. The shore dwellers regard them as belonging to a lower social or6er. and indeed they have many customs pe- culiar to themselves which mark them as a separate community. How the swarming masses of them contrive Co support themselves is a mystery, but their chief mode of employment is in carrying merchandise and passengers from place to place.

The Ships Steward Tells of
 Hardships.
Hours are Long apd Fare Is Hard American Vessels Fay Best But There are Few of Them
 Upon the Seas.
BY GEORGE FLETCHER.

The greatest benefit in going to sea lies in the experience which one ob- tains from the life. The financial re- muneration, in most cases is of an amount hardly to be considered. There
 is just as much work and 1t Is fully as hard as in any occupation on land.
 Almost the only pleasure, and certain
 Iy the greatest gain that comes from
 following the sea Is the experience and
 the novelty which a trip to strange lands affords.
 The training received aboard ship Is of great benefit in other walks Of life.
 The work Is such that mind and body are developed in proportion. Almost every day something arises to try either or both a mans ingenuity or his physical power Such a life makes man independent. and develops himkto what he should be. I know of no oth- CT class of men who are so strong, ca pablo and welI-developed, both phys ically and mentally, as the sea-rarer' from the captain to the deck scrub .
 bers Would that we could say the same of their morals.
 Conditions aboard ships have chang ed greatly within the last few years. In the days when sailing ships or | "windiammers" were the only ocean traders, sea life was quite different from what it is now. Today steam ships do by far the most or the carry ing, and this has brought about a great change. On such sailing ships as remain, life is much more rough and crude, and the crews arc much coarser type of men than on steam ships. Tn short. sea life is much more civilized than it used to be. The i'm ! prossion that people seem to have of life on the sea Aas been gathered from
 sea tales written years ago. and in >apIte of the change 1t still fingers in their minds.

 The most desirable ships to sail up-

 watching over the seamen of its mer-
