LIVELY TALK OVER
FIRE ALARM BOXES
Supervisor Center Objects to
Police Commissions Test
and Recommendation

81 don't believe 1 can be a party to
putting up a job on this city. Either
we fools in business, or we are
working for share of the spoil.--
Supervisor Center.
''Thaf's no way to talk. This COM
mission has had a thorough test made
of the merits of these boxes. When
we recommend the GameweII box above
the others we know what are talking
about. The commission has some in
telIigence as well as the supervisors."-
Police Commissioner Leggett.
Lets have a joint committee on in
telIigence. I move tkat committee on
intelligence be appointed."-Supervis
Booth.
More picturesque language than
usual was indulged in by commission
ers, supervisors and business agents
at yesterdays thirty-ninth CONFER
ence" of the fire committee of the su-
pervisors and the members of the joint
hre and police commissions over the
purchase of so fire alarm boxes.
THREE BIDS ARE OFFERED
Three bids were before the meeting.
The American district telephone com
pany, for the Star box mad put in a bid
of s4,s75. The Gamewell company, one of
s6,250 The McFell electric companys
bid of $4,000 was not considered after
the committee had been told that the
McFel box was virtually a "watca-
mans signal box" not q fire alarm in
strument. The fight then was on be-
tween the Star and the Gamewell.
In answer to Chairman McLeran's
query Acting Chief Nixon of the cleo
tricity department said:
From the tests have made and
my general knowledge of the boxes,
am convinced that the GamewelI ma
chine is far superior 10 any other in
the market"
You have bids here. the Gamewell
of $6.250. or s125 a box said Super
visor Center. rs that for the same
box which the company supplied Port
land for S11250 a box"
No said Agent Coffey, the Port
land box is an entirely different one 1t
couldn't be used with the San Fran
cisco system.
AGENTS DISPUTE CLAIMS
c. ]. Kenne then spoke up for the
Star box. 1t was offered. he said, to
the city for $3.50 each and was every
bit as good as the GameweIl.
I'll bet $1,000 the Star box can't do
the work the Gamewell box does,' said
Agent Coffey.
I'll give any kind OF bond that the
Star can meet the Gamewen at every
point" retorted Kenne.
Center announced that If the COM
sion should hold another test and then
come back to the supervisors with a
recommendation that the Gamewell box
be purchased, he would move the rejec-
tion Of all the bids. Commissioner Nc
Carthy had stated there wasn't any use
in holding another test; the commits
sioners had their minds made UP and
the test would result in the same
choice as before Center thought this
was prejudging the case.
lit was finally determined to have the
test anyhow. Center .acitIy withdraw
ing his announcement that he would
ask the rejection of all bids and Nc

FAT MEMS GLIB.

Friday and Saturday of last week,
the Fat Men were entertained at
Portland and Long Island, Me.
More than five hundred members
were present, and they enjoyed
every minute Of it from the trolley
ride, to the sail down the Bay and
shore dinner, back to Portland and
the theatre. About two hundred
names were added to the member
ship roll including Gov. Fernald,
Mayor Leighton and Hon. Asher c..
Kinds. The Governor and Mayors
speeches were gems of their kind
and were eagerly listened to and
applauded. Mr.. David Wilkie, the
father of this hefty club, followed
the Governors speech in praise Of
the State of Maine with a speech in
which he did not forget Vermont.
According to the Sunday Times,
Ex-President David WilRie of Wells
River, was Dean Swift and a Richard
Brinslev Sheridan combined. Wit flashed
from him like stars from the heavens. He
started by saying that he could not utter
a word and he finished half an hour after
ward with expressed regret. He referred
to the preceding speeches and told of the
pleasure that he had derived from them.
He was known as the father of the club
and was greatly interested in it, The
presence of the illustrious Governor of the
State, the distinguished mayor of the city
and the widely known and erudite parlia-
mentarian of the House of Representa-
tives was an honor that few organizations
could boast Of. A story of how he had
inveigled Arthur H. Moulton into the club
was told with keen humor and it was rel
ished by the appreciative hearers. The
words of the Governor had impressed him
and he was willing to attest that the
Creator must have spent considerable
time in producing the State of Maine.
Casco bay was in itself an enhancing
sight and if it should be proposed that all
the clubs outings should be held here he
would raise both hands. As loyal son of
the Green Mountain state he wanted to
say a few words in its favor and the best
he could do was to ask those present to
attend the annual business meeting which
is to be held at the clubs birthplace,
Wells River.

Candemas Day
and Grounding foe

Candelmas day, February 2, fe ii
val celebrated especially in the Cath
Ollie churches as the 10th day after
the birth of Christ
The institution of the festival is
attributed to Pope Gelasius, in the
latter part of the fifth century.
Among the Roman Catholics, the
special service of the day consists in
blessing candles by the priests and a
distribution of them to the congrega-
ton, by which they are afterwards
carried, lighted, in solemn procession.
In the middle ages, candelma3 was
the favOrite time for the ceremony
among Christian mothers, analogous
to the Mosaic presentation in the
temple
A curious custom of old standing in
Scotland is as follows: On this day
it was practice for the children to at
tend school, to make small presents of
money to their teachers. The master
sat at his desk or table, exchanging
for the moment his look of authority
to one of bland Civility.
IIdCil Cllllu N6HL up " MN Will a
small sum of money. The boy and
girl who gave the most were called
the king and queen.
A popular Scottish rhyme is:
If Candelmas day be bright and fair,
The half O. winters to come and mair,
If candelmas day is wet and foul,
The half @ winters game at yule.
Sir Thomas Brown says
Isl sol spIendescat Maria purifcante
Major crit gIacies post festum guam
fuit ante"
In Germany there are two proverb-
ial expressions:
The shepherd would rather see the
wolf enter his stable on candeImas
day than the sun"
The badges peeps out of his hole
on candlemas day, and when he finds
snow, he walks abroad; but if he sees
the sun shining, he draws back into
his hole"
On candlemas eve, all Christmas
greens must be taken down.
Herrick, in his poem, says:
Down with the rosemary and so,
