HARD FIGHT WITH
BRUSH FIRE

A brush fire in the West End,
in the vicinity of the old Twelfth
street power house, raging nearly
all day yesterday, gave the depart
ment considerable trouble because
of the lack of hydrants to enable
effective work. The residents
fought the fire with sand, buckets
and anything else available. The
street grading crew helped in the
fight. BY back-firing, the prog
ress of the fire was somewhat
checked. The rain at 5 O'Clock
also aided materially in bringing 1t
under control. 1t was not until
late last night, however, that 1t
was completely subdued. No dam
age to property was done, al
though the roof of one house
caught fire, but the flames were
extinguished.

IT is reported that the song recently printed in
The Mirror entitled Mothers Face in the Shadows
has made quite hit in ST. Paul and Minneapolis.
Perhaps it may be interesting to know how this song
came to be written by man of contrite heart who
admitted that he had done wrong. Here is the

BINGLES AND SLOGS.

Let it be admitted at the outset
that baseball is a better game than
cricket. if only because there is a
reasonable certainty of finishing
every match played. But the adj
vantages are not all on one side.
The shape of the cricket-bat, for
instance, not only gives the bats
man better chance than he has
in baseball. but adds largely to the
science of the game. Between the
bowler and the pitcher it is impos-
sible to make comparisons, the
rule being in cricket that the ball
must be bowled,, not thrown OF
jerked, and the bowler being under
no necessity to deliver the ball be-
tween the batsman's knee and
shoulder. There is no penalty
against the bowler for hitting the
batsman, and no substitutes arr
permitted, with the curious excep
ton that what corresponds to base
running may be done by proxy
In fielding, the English game il
far behind the American except il
the matter Of catching, both be
hind the bat and elsewhere, such
thing as a fielding average being
entirely unknown. But what wake

up the spectators at a game OF
cricket is either close game, which
is unusual and more so in 6rstclass
cricket than in minor leagues, or a
terrific batting spell. To pile up
eighty runs in an hour is fast
pace though of course here again
no comparisons may be drawn, the
average score in firstclass cricket
for an inning (which they call an
innings) being about two hundred
and fifty runs on good pitch or
one hundred on bad one. Minor
cricket like minor baseball is more
exciting than. the firstclass article,
but whereas in baseball the minors
score more runs than the majors,
in cricket they score less. One sem
sible rule, which might be adopted
in modified form in baseball to adj
vantage, is that the bowler sends
down six balls and rests six. Both
games are spoilt by too much sci
ence from the spectators viewpoint,
and eachss might learn something
from the other.
WAGNER AND JAGTIME.
A lady once delivered lecture
to woman's club on Wagner
Orchard, not Hans which went
this way: Dear friends, we should
all paysreverence to Wagner, be-
cause he-because he writes
bec-c-cause he wr-r-rites his notes
in b-b.bunches." Some people
like their notes in punches, while
others prefer them one at time.
Some like plain treacle, others in
sist on beefsteak, or for that mat
ter on fancy dishes. The cogno-
scenti (which may be translateds
"those who know it alr'' used to
consider Home, Sweet Home ex-
cellent music. Nowadays they
want something more exciting and
discordant, something of the rest
less nature of Macdowell's Witches
Dance. Discord is, paradoxically
enough, the dominant chord, the
leading principle of modern music
It is the index of development
with which the human voice can
hardly keep pace. To regret the
standard of popular taste when the
musicians standard is continually
changing is useless and foolish.
! The public may possibly fifty years
hence be educated up to Wagner.
But meanwhile Wagner will be-
] relegated to the same position with
regard to critical appreciation hh
which Mendlessohn and some OF
l
