 To say there was surprise at her visit would understate the emotions of the relatives. The sister screamed and a small niece fainted. Then came ex- plantations. Mary McGonigle was cer- tainly buried, but it was another Mary. The living woman is a washwoman in private service and her address 1uctu- ates with her employment The osad woman who bore such an extraordina- ry resemblance to her was no relative. but knew her and gave her address to the hospital.

 Old Timers Leaven the Loaf.
 "How does it happen" Chief Cro- ker was asked that the apparent eff fcency of the department remains so high?"

 Man on the Street.
 Croker declared he could walk along the street and pick up many an able bodied man who would make an ex- ce1lent fireman. Reverting to the fire this morning, he recalled that Chiefs Brogan and Binns, both of the old school. were able to go into the build ing and remain there throughout the blaze in the dense smoke. They did not quit, he said, like many others who were recently appointed.
