FOUR TIMES CHOSEN
 TO BE CITY ATTORNET
Thomas M. Cullinan Legal Adviser to City Under Three Democratic and One Republican Admins tration.

Serving during the terms of three Mayors, City Attorney Thomas M. Gull linan is about to enter upcn his fourth term as legal adviser to the city of Bridgeport. and his, seventh year of service in this distinguished capacity. That he. has so long held so import ant an office through the ups and downs of politics speaks highly for his legal ability. lis integrity. and his possession of those personal qualities which. attract and hold the friendship and esteem of other men.
 MT. Cullinan took the office of city attorney at the beginning of a tFansi- ton period in the history of the city. Bridgeport which had been somewhat behind other municipalities of the country iH realizing how far certain private and special interests had en- croached upon the administration of it's affairs, was beginning to consider ways and means of restoring an earl fer order of things. Under such cir cumstances the city attorney found himself obliged to render many in- portant opinions upon matters outside

REPUBLICAN BLUNDERS
 M'KENNA's GOOD LUCR

l : l4 He Is Twice Beneficiary of Charter
 Tinkering, Which Was Done to Benefit Machine Politicians, But Did
 Not.
 Maurice F. McKenna. who will commence his second term as city engineer, Jan 1, 1910. was the city's first engineer. He was elected in March, 1908, by the common coun- cil, for a term of two years and was the first to hold the position under that title and under a salary. Prev iously the office had been known as "city surveyor, but the Republican charter tinkerers changed the name and incidentally made the position a salaried one, instead of a fee posi- ton.
 Then again the Republicans chang ed the charter so that the council would be deprived of the duty of fill ing the office. They went to Hartford and made the position one to be filled

by the mayors appointment. Then again it happened that a Democrat was to profit by the Republican tink- ering for MT. McKenna, appointed yesterday, will succeed himself.
 Before being chosen for the first time to fill the place MT. McKenna was connected with the city survey or's office for a number of years. He was also the assistant and partner of the late w. w. Starr while he was city surveyor. When elected to suc- ceed MT. Starr he received all of the Is Democratic votes in Common Council. His many years connection with the business has made him thoroughly conversant with the duties of the office and when he renews his second term it will be as a man farni- liar with the work that is to come Eefore him.
 MT. McKenna has been a resident of this city since boyhood and he is popular with a large circle of friends.

THE STEEPLE JACK.
He Must Conquer Many Difficulties 1.
 Ills DanaeroGs Wacn

The successful stceple ja,k k mI,S' possess de;pvlniaaiiym. persevcia.i. r. and ingeil:ty. He must solve m"nN practical problem in hosting great bodies aIoft. He must know how to fasten d hook over the summit of Il l skyScraping chimney. He must have the nerve to paint q steeple that suayS like a pendulum at the slender tcp He i must be able to tear down. buiiI up. gid, paint, place electric wires and do many another task that would be Glllicnlt enough on the solid earth. There are many ways of getting up on a steeple. and when all others fail the man will tie q rope around it and then, with coil on his back. walk round and round it until the entire steeple is covered with rope. and in such case he has probably been round l it fully 300 times.
 But steeple is not the most diff cult height to climb. Straight. tall chimneys are the hardest of all There man has to work with might and main to lift himself inch by inch from the ground to the top. Sometimes the top is 300 feet high. When it is reach ed hook is placed over the edge. pulley is made fast, the swinging chair is hauled up and work begins. When the chair is near the top it is easier to work, because the ropes are short, but when they lengthen as the ground is approached there is ten dency to swing. and the wind gives impetus.
 The steeple jacks safety depends upon the hook, and until he has raised himself almost to the top it is impos- sible for him to see whether or not the hook has been properly adjusted More than once a steeple climber has seen when within ten feet of the top that corrosion of the iron and the col Wall that the hook is merely balancing on the top, so that the slightest pull in the wrong direction would drag it off. Again. the bricks are often loose at the top, and the hook is likely to tear them away.
 One of the natural difficulties to con quer is the swaying of all high stee- pies and chimneys. In gale steeple point will sway foot and a half Usually it sways from seven to nine inches. Painting it means reaching for spot on the right side, and find ing it on the left. and, when making a dive for it on the left. to see it sway back to the right. Yet in spite of the constant danger born steeple jack ex. ults in his work and is at home. like the ironworker on the skyscraper. only when high above the world. He can stand triumphantly at any height. if he can have two and one-half square inches to bear his weight.-Harper's Weekly

MERCIFUL CAESAR.
A Story of the Great Roman and
 Band of Pirates.

A Story of the Great Roman and
 Band of Pirates.
 Caesar travelled with the retinue of a man of rank, and on his way to Rhodes he fell in with an adventure which may be something more than legend. When he was crossing the Aegean. his vessel is said to have been taken by pirates. They carried him to Pharmacusa, an island off the Ga rian coast. which was then in their possession. and there he was detained for six weeks with three of his attend ants, while the rest of his servants were sent to the nearest Roman sta tion to raise his ransom.
 The pirates treated him with polite ness He joined in their sports. played games with them, looked into their habits and amused himself with them as we'll as he could, frankly telling them at the same time that they would be hanged.
 The Sansom, very large one. about f1O,OOO, was brought and paid, Caesar was set upon tue ula1nldHu' uedi MI letus, where. without moments delay, he collected some armed vessels, returned to the island, seized the whole crew while they were dividing their plunder and took them away to Pergamus. the seat of government in the Asiatic province, where they were convicted and crucifed. Clemency was not a Roman characteristic. It was therefore noted with some surprise that Caesar interceded to mitigate the severity of the punishment. The poor wretches were strangled before they were stretched on the crosses and were spared the prolongation of their torture.-James Anthony Froude.
