The report OF the committee of the
Chamber of Commerce. showing the need
OF paying teachers. firemen. and police
men on the 1st and 18th of each month.
instead of the system now in opera ton
of paying once a month. has won instant
favor with the business men of the city.
Many were in favor OF getting up A petit
ton signed by the tradesmen of the city
and presenting it to the Commissioners.
A member OF the Retail Grocers' Asso-
citation said yesterday that it would be a
blessing to the District employees con-
cerned. and would be pleasing to the
merchants with whom the employees
dealt
One of the teachers. who has special
class in English. which meets once
week. said that the only reason she had
the class was TO secure enough money
during the latter part of the month to
tide her over until pay day.
1T is bad enough as it Is, having to
wait a month for your money. while the
employees OF the Federal government get
their pay twice a month. but it is still
that time while the machinery OF the
local government goes through it's red
tape functions OF getting the checks
ready" she said.
Firemen Not Complaining.
Chief Wagner. in talking of the benefit
it would be to have the firemen paid twice
a month, said that he had never heard
complaint from The firemen on account
of the present system.
'T am not prepared at present to give
an opinion on such a question" he said.
PERSONALLY, think il is better as it is:
but, of course, l would have to talk the
matter over with my men to get a good
idea of how 1t would affect them, and do
not doubt that many OF them would be
glad to receive their money twice a
month.
The matter of paying teachers, police
men. and firemen twice n month would
affect the fire department the least of
the three, because they do not have the
time off that the other two do

Delays His Return.

Mgr. Kennedy is now in Philadelphia.
having cbme TO this country on visit
to his parents. He was to have sailed a
week ago last Saturday. but delayed his
return when it was evident Archbishop
Ryan could not live much longer. He is
member of the Archdiocese of Phila-
delphia, and is popular with the clergy.
Many of the archbishops may be eX-
pected to favor the promotion of some
preIate entirely disSociated with the
province of Philadelphia Among those
prominently mentioned are the two for
mer rectors of the Catholic University,
Bishop Conaty and the present coadju-
tor of San Francisco, DR.. O'COnnell. The
latter was appointed coadjutOr, with the
right of succession in the event OF the
death of Archbishop Riordan, who also
has been ailing for long time.
The death OF Archbishop Ryan has re-
moved a formidable factor IN the crea-
tion OF another American member of the
Sacred College. The dead prelate was
always thought to have had an even
chance with the Archbishop of st. Paul,
and Cardinal Gibbons is known to have
devotedly urged the promotion of the
Philadelphia. He was said to be the
cardinals choice IL there should be an
other in this country. His death clears
in a great measure a situation that is
known to have given Rome much con-
Germ. and it undoubtedly will revive ac-
tivity both here and abroad in the mat
ter of a second American member OF the
college

New York, Feb. 12.-Important changes
in the government of the Catholic Church
in America are made inevitable by the
death of Archbishop Ryan. There will be
strong rivalry for the throne he has va
Gated, and if the precedent established In
his case and at later day followed in
the promotion of Bishop QuiSley from
the See of Buffalo to the Archdiocese OF
Chicago is to be followed in this in
stance, the contest will be keen.
The priests of the Archdiocese of Phila-
delphia may be expected to make a
strong plea for the promotion OF Phila-
delphian, one of the bishops OF that
province, or, as is more likely, Mgr
Kennedy, rector of the North American
College at Rome. Mgr. Kennedy Is n

waited to that dignity by the present

FIRES REGULATED BY LAW.

The state OF Connecticut has law
which In times OF drought prevents a
good many destructive ires. This pro-
vides trst that no person shall kindls
fire upon public land without au-
thority to do 30 nor upon the premises
OF another without permission of the
owner or his agent 1t also provides
that no person shall kindle OF author
ize another to kindle tire in his wood
land unless all cOmbustible materials
for the space OF six feet surrounding
the place where said ire is kindled
have been removed. nor shall any such
fire be left until extinguisned or safe
ly covered. AS is natural. perhaps,
some farmers Of the state think the
law is an insult to their intelligence.
others that the law is wisely drawn
and tends to reduce loss from runs-

Warning That Came to ersnddaush-
tor Of Sir Walter Scott.
An instance In which a dream was
useful In preventing an impending ca
tastrophe is recorded Of a daughter Of
Mrs. rutherford at Ederton, the grand
daughter Of Sir Walter Scott. This
lady dreamed more than once that her
mother had been murdered by a black
servant She was so much upset by
this that she returned home, and, to
her great astonishment and not a lit
tie to her dismay, she met on entering
the house the very black servant she
had met in her dream. he had been
engaged In her absence. She prevail
ed upon a gentleman to watch in an
adjoining room during the following
night
About 3 O'clock In the morning the
gentleman heard footsteps on the
stairs. came out and met the servant
carrying some Goals. Being question
ed as to where be was going, he
answered confusedly that 20 was go
ing to mend the mistress FIRE, which
at o'clock in the morning in the mid
die OF summer was evidently impossi-
BILE. On further investigation a strong
knife was found hidden in the Goals
The lady escaped, but the man was
subsequently hanged for murder, and
before his execution he confessed that
he intended to assassinate Mrs. Ruth

Tho Hawaiian Lanau.a..

The language of Hawaii is very sim
pie. To one who hears It for the FIRST
time comes the conviction that the abb
origines expressed their sentiments in
primitive vowel sounds, to which some
consonants have been added. Each
vowel is sounded as In Latin. and the
words are easily pronounced by one
who is patient and wishes to speak
distinctly. The pronunciation will be
all the better II the speaker will draw
out almost drawl. the vowel sounds,
for which reason the language is well
suited to the doleful Hawaiian vail

It's Curious Phases Told by a Seven

An old chronicler tells curious sto-
ry Of an explosion which occurred In
London Jan. 4. 1649. A ship chandler,
It seems. "about z of the clock at
night. being busy in his shop about
barrellng up Of gunpowder. It took ere
and in the twinkling Of an eye blew
up not only that. but all the houses
thereabout TO the number OF fifty or
sixty. The number OF persons destroy
ed by this blow could never be known.
for the next house but one was the
Rose tavern. a house never (at that
time Of night but full OF company.
And In three or four days. after dig
ging. they continually found heads,
arms. legs. etc" The most interesting
part OF the account comes further on:
''In the digging they found the mis-
tress Of the house OF the Rose tavern
sitting In her bar and one of the draw
ers standing by the bars side. with a
pot IN his hand. only stifed by dust
and smoke. their bodies being preserv.
ed whole by means OF great timbers
