Matter Aired Tomorrow.
ONE BIG FOOL
But He Doesn't Live in Newark
Nor Read the Star.

A man in Connecticut gave a doctor. a
specialist in catarrh, $50 to cure him oil
this common yet most obnoxious dis
ease.
The specialist gave him a bottle Of
medicine and told him when and how
to use it.
The fool took the medicine home,
took one dose, put it on a shelf and
made no further effort to follow in
structions,
Three months later with the medl-
cine still on the shelf he told a friend
that the specialist was a faker; that he
had paid him $50 and still had ca
tarrh as bad as ever.
This story is told for a purpose.
HYOMEI pronounce 1t High-o-me)
won't cure catarrh If you don't breathe
it; it will cure catarrh II you breathe
II regularly.
Furthermore, you don't need to give
a catarrh specialist $50 to cure you OF

ton thar HYOMEI.

sl,30O,O0O FIRE
ON RIVER 'FRONT.'
OUT IN z HOURS

Well at Blaze That Threatens
Docks and Ferries.

NEW YORK, Oct. with ten
lines feeding and cascading $4,000 gal
Ions a minute. Chief Croker and his
men beat down in two hours a fire
which wiped out nearly a whole block,
bit jagged holes into two other blocks
at Eleventh avenue and Twenty-fourth
street and threatened to sweep towards
the ferries and piers Of the water
front.
Under the chiefs eye was a sizzling
ruin Of red and black debris, all that
was left Of the block of factories and
lumber yards between Twenty-fourth
and Twenty-ifth streets and half way
from Eleventh to Tenth An
other mass of ruins showed where the
fire had jumped Twenty-fourth street
and cut into the block to the south;
while across Eleventh avenue, between
Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth streets,
within a short block OF the ferries and
piers, the flames had shaved away the
solid front of lumber ard and sheds.
The loss was put at ST. 800, 900 by
Croker, and the concerns that suffered
worst were the Moore Brothers Lumber
Company at III dOubllthbI COAIfcl VI
Eleventh avenue and Twenty-fourth
street, with 2,0o9, 900 feet of hardwood
burned; the Atlas Metal Bedstead Com
pany, on the south side of Twenty-fifth
street. in the middle of the wasted
block, which lost it's plant and $3.50, 900
worth of brass beds and stock, and the
Clarke & Wilkins Kindling Factory, on
the east side of Eleventh avenue, be-
tween Twenty-fourth and Twenty-ffth
streets, which was utterly destroyed.
Although the fire covered more terri.
tory than any of recent years, nobody
was killed and no one was fatally hurt
Two policemen had to go to the hos
pital to get their burns treated after
rescuing roomers at the old Pennsyl-
vania Hotel, at the northeast corner OF
Twenty-fourth street and Eleventh ave.

PRESIDENT OF
FIRE BOARD AND
CHIEF At ODDS
Trouble Started with Sassy
Letter Regarding Fire Protec-
tion at Wilson Meeting.

AS the result of the alleged inn
proper detailing of firemen at Kruger
Auditorium on the night of the Wood
row Wilson mass-meeting, which was
attended by a record breaking au-
dience, there Is said to be considerable
friction between some of the members
of the Board of Fire Commissioners
and Chief Ashley, OF the fire depart
ment.
The first step in the matter was taken
by President Thomas f.. Burke, OF the
Fire Board, who attended the mass
meeting, n is said to ave found an
entire absence of detail men at any OF
the points where f1remen are supposed
to be stationed during large gatherings
AT the auditorium.
Wrote n R~eprimand.
This was so unusual and, to Presi-
dent Burke's mind, such a serious mat
ter that the next day he is said to
have written a reprimand to Chief
Ashley, calling attention to the over
sight and asking for an explanation.
Mr.. Burke's arraignment Is said to
have been couched in terms hat left
no doubt as to his feelings in the mat
ter and which could not be misinter-
pItltu. 1illCI EASLiCJ 10 oiiCBCh 7" q
taken the rebuke very much to heart
n to have resented the attitude Of
the president of the board in his deter
mination of the chiefs responsibility.
Chief Makes Reply.
Chief Astley's reply to Commissioner
Burke's letter a not been made pub
lie, but enough of it has leaked out to
show that the chief was not sparing
in his Characterization of the presi-
dents criticism and the manner in
which he had put the matter up to the
chief.
He is said to have told Commissioner
Burke just what he thought Of the
letter in its entirety and hat he CON
sidered the limitations of the presi-
dents control OF his (Astley's) actions.
The chiefs letter is also said TO have
contained a plain intimation that he
was able to run his end of the depart
ment and did not invite any outside
help. The correspondence has created
a situation that is regarded as decid-
edly delicate, and the atmosphere at
fire headquarters is surcharged with a
strange unrest.
Matter Aired Tomorrow.
Other members of the board are said
to have been drawn into the contro-
versy, and 1t is not unlikely that the
matter will be brought to a head at
the meeting of the board tomorrow.
The fire commissioners have always
insisted upon proper details being sta
toned at all places where large gath
erings occur and this is the first time
when any laxity in the system has
been charged.

CITIZENS DUTIES.

AT least as much as a passing word
OF grateful commentator is due To the
public spirited citizen who On Wednes-
day evening caused the arrest and Sc
cured the punishment Of a disOrderly
ruffian who persisted In offending the
ears Of decent people with indecent talk.
"Reminiscences having proved unayail-
ing, the citizen followed the offender
from the subway train in which his
misdemeanor was committed. had him
taken Ia the night court and testified
against him, with the pleasing result
that he was rOundly fined.
That, OF course. Involved trouble, Oc-
cupied time and subjected the citizen
10 some little danger of personal as
sault. Yet he was willing t. do il for
the sake Of public order and decency.
Tue presiding magistrate fittinsly
thanked him for his painstaking act,
ana I'm 80 doing will lie seconded by
right thinking men and women every
where. II is 10 be hoped, moreover, that
the example will inspire emulation.
For this one citizen illustrated fine
conception OF the duties Of all citizens,
in taking personal Interest in the main
tenance of law and the preservation Of
order. The average man, however law
abiding he may Ice himself. is inclined
to look the other way when some Offeu-
siVe act is being committed. He is too
busy 20 interfere. he does not want 10
get mixed up In the matter, and any
way Il is the business Of the police and
the train hands 10 deal with such OF.
fences. So he goes by on the other side.
But the police and train hands can
not attend 10 such matters fully and
efficiently. There cannot he a policeman
in every car 10 watch for offenders. ana
the trainmen cannot leave their ears 10
take offenders 10 the police station or
Ia turn them over L. the police. The
work of enforcing law and order must
be largely done, if II is done at all. by
private citizens. any one of whom has
a right 90 DO just what this one did tho
other evening. II is not only a citizens
right. but il is also in no small measure
his duty TO himself and the community,
10 intervene for the maintenance Of law
and order.

SOME CLEVELAND MYTHOLOGY.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: In this mornings Tribune appears
an item entitled "CaldwelTs Old Elm

Ing severe demands upon the imagination
Of your informant and his readers. The
elm was one of a large group on the
Grover house lawn. and from its size might
easily have been planted by the Rev
Stephen Grover. the owner OF the place and
pastor OF the Presbyterian Church, who
died IN 1886.
But il Is extremely doubtful IL under

about three and half years old when
his father resigned the pastOrate IN the
autumn OF 1870. As the manse was a
quarter Of a mile away and the old elm
stood on the brink Of a pond which has
since been filed IN. IL is hardly probable
that the future President spent much time
under what must have been at that time
a small sapling.
