THE FIRE LIMITS
Matter of Extension VIII Be Brought Up at Next Meeting.

I The committee appointed by tn,
 board of aldermen to consider the ad
 visibility of extending the fire limits
 has not yet got together, but meet
 ing will soon be called and the sub
 Ject thoroughly aired. This is very important matter and it behooyes al
 interested parties to giveit some atten.
 tlon now and see and get things rignl
 while they may, instead of keeping ir
 the background until after everything 0s finished up and then stepping into
 the open and railing at everybody i The present fire limits extend down l south Main street to a point 100 feet
 south of Meadow street, and thence 1 westerly to point 100 feet north of i Field street. Here it crosses Grand
 and continues along Church onto West
 Main street at point 100 feet north
 or North Main street, so that about half The Elton is in the fire limits and
 the other is on the outside. From North Main it runs easterly to North
 Elm street, the line taking half the
 armory. thence on South Main street
 to the point of beginning.
 Some time ago an effort was made
 to extend the lines, but it fell through.
 The plan at that time was to begin, say at Dublin street bridge and follow the east line of the Mad river along Bridge and River streets to Benedicts bridge on South Main street; thence along South Main street to Washing ton avenue, and along Washington avenue avenue to Bnak street; down Bank street to the Naugatucx river, and thence along the west line of the river to the tracks of the consolidated road at Mattatuck street; thence east erly to North square, down South Elm street to East Main street, and out East Main street to Dublin street. The public should bear in mind that after line has been adopted, all buildings constructed inside it shall be of fire proof material A great many claim it is the proper thing to do and say that already too many very large frame buildings have been built in :" ite ihiSht pC tCllucu tlle uedfI lno city. It may not strike everybody this way, but no matter what view you take of it, don't keep it to yourself The committee is anxious to hear opinions and nothing will be done until after the matter has been throughly thrashed out, so that mo- body need think that the thing is already fixed up and dispose of 1t re- what's the use bothering about it, for the committee has al- ready made up its mind This is not so. The committee is composed of Aldermen Spain, Lawlor and Larkin, and they have not yet committed themselves to anything, and they don't propose to until after they have heard from everybody who cares to speak on the mater. Even then. if they decide to recommend that the present line be extended, their report might not be adopted, as was the case with the one brought forward sever al years ago, but in any case it would be we'll to air the subject, and pro- bably in this way some who are now opposed to the proposition may see the necessity of it and join hands with those who claim that such a step is necessary and should have been taken long ago.

THE POLICE COURT.
Case of Jacob Fucker For Horse Theft
 Again Continued,

The police had rather quiet Sun. day and Saturday night. Salvatore Zollo and Vincenzo Ucca had a little disturbance at their home which cost each of them $7 in the city court to- day.
 Joseph Bobinski got after a fellow countryman in a saloon in the Brook lyn district and gave him a whack on the head that necessitated the use of the physicians needle and thread. Bobinski settled for s5.
 The continued case against Jacob Fucker for theft of horse said to be worth s250 was again continued, this time for a week, with the under standing that it will be disposed of one way or another at that time.
 Michael Breen got drunk Saturday night and made all the trouble he could for Officer Hayes. Thirty days in jail was his sentence.
 John Collins came up from Beacon Falls and got drunk Saturday. He was fined s7 and costs.
 Andrew Provost. a truckman for the Apotheearies Hall company, and Morris Spirit, a grocer, got into an argument at the freight depot Fri day over their respective positions at the platform. Afterward Spirit went to the office of the Apothecaries Half company on Benedict street and made a scene. Sentence was suspended in each case.
 Judge Peasley held court.

NATIVE PALMS IN TEXAS.
Noble Grove Near Brownsville
is Being Destroyed.

There is a grove of noble
palm trees in Texas as impress
sive and beautiful, as rare and
unique as those famous Sequoia
giants, the wonderful redwoods
Of California. They are the only
trees of their sort in Texas or
in the United States. Far down
where the Rio Grande, the Nile
of America, which, like it's
namesake, takes it's source
among the eternal SHOWS, flows
forms a delta in it's lower reaches
as rich as that of Egypt, stands
this grove Of palms. These king
ly trees lift their tops fifty feet
or more toward tropic skies,
browning tops surmounting
stately columns whose beauty is
umn of architecture.
Sisters are these palms to the
famous palmettos of Florida,
but finer and greener and far
more beautiful in every way.
Once they adorned this delta
along the Texas border from the
old town of Edinburg, now Hi
dalgo, to Brazos Santiago. Once
they stood in verdant groves all
along the lower Rio Grande val
ley, but between the march of
progress, commercialism has
swept them away, as it has the
buffalo and the red man, and as
it would have swept away the
famous redwoods if the people
of California had not awakened
to their value and stopped the
slaughter. Even now but hand
full are left of the original num-
Der of these grand palms, but
even these are a stately grove,
the admiration of every lover of
Nature who is permitted to look
upon them.
Harvey Stiles, in making a
plan for the preservation of
what remains of the stately
palms, which are native of the
soil upon which they grow says !:
"I do not know how it shall
be done, but last week when l
visited them there was only a
remnant, bravely whispering
their strange, sweet story. Since
7 bod Loot coon those GROVES
along the river front, a few
miles below Brownsville, hun
dreds of the most beautiful had
been slaughtered, and only their
PROSTATE trunks and ruined
crowns remaining. More are be-
ing taken out constantly and
soon all will be gone unless ruth
less destruction is stayed. The
ground they occupy is being pre-
empted by the husbandman, but
part of this grove, at least
should be saved to the state anc
prescribed as monument to
the donors and a priceless boon
to the people of the State"
1t may be AIDED that the owner
of part of this palm grove
since it came into his possession
has endeavored to preserve il
and has stopped the destruction
| in so far as his holding permits

Real Things Have Become Too Elk
pensive for the Small Girl.

Real fur sets will be so expensive
ihis winter that none but wealthy pa
rents will feel they can afford to get
collars, NUTS, ETC.. for their small
daughters. However, this advanced
cost in skins does not mean that most
young girls will 60 without these cold
weather accessories, for there are
many really beautiful pelts they can
wear that are made into such excel.
lent limitations of real furs that even
an expert furrier finds difficulty in dis.
tinguishing them from natural skins.
Among these superior limitations
that will be popular for children's
use during the coming season are
coney, brown SABLE" white rabbit
that assumes the name of ermine. and
muskrat. that claims distinction as
mink.
Caracal cloth is such a good imita
ton of the real article that it defies
detection, and the shorn furs are such
a perfect match for chinchilla and
sealskin that children In general will
never doubt their genuineness.

At a garden gate a little further
down the road, lady was standing,
shading her eyes from the glare Of the
sun, and watching the white, dusty
roadway eagerly as il in search OF
some one.
There was no need for words-one
look was enough. Over her face the
color swept, and then receded, leav.
ing It deathly pale. Miles laid the
sweet peas aside, and stretched out
his empty arms, while Helen Temple.

Agatha turned away abruptly. She
understood.
1T is all owing to a bunch Of sweet
peas" Cathcart said when at length
he could speak. But for that we
might still have been apart"
And Helen acquiesced joyfully. From
thenceforth sweet peas were her fav.
