TEST MADE OF BOTH
 LOCAL FIRE ENGINES.
C. R. Barker is Making Investigation
 for Natiinai Board of Fire Under
 writers-WlI Report on Entire City.

By orders of the Natiinal Board of
 work here making an investigation of
 the equipment of the city for fighting
 fire, including not only the apparatus
 but the water system and the charac-
 ter of the buildings. He has been at
 work on this task for sometime get ting out complete map of the water
 system with size of pipes, while there are many other details which he is getting data on. Later he will make
 his report to the city, after it goes to the National Fire underwriters. He is
 making his headquarters at the cen tral fire station, responding to all alarms with the companies and getting in close touch with all operations.
 On Tuesday there was a test of both
 the local fire engines, water being
 draughted from the east arm of the
 Yantic River near the industrial build
 ing. The test lasted from Ills until
 3 o'clock, being in accordance with the
 tests made on all engines wherever
 this investigation is made. The meth
 ods used are in use in many depart ments. Throwing of streams over
 necessarily show that the machine is
 capable to its full rated capacity at the
 proper working pressure. Investiga-
 tions have shown that where regular ana systematic tests or engines are
 not made, even in well managed de-
 partment, defects may often exist and
 become manifest finder stress of large
 fires where they are required to be run
 at their full capacity under suitable
 working pressure. The tests will
 show reflects, improper setting of
 steam valve, broken pump valves, loose
 or tight bearings, worn or broken
 plungers or a poor or defective boiler and even poor coal.
 It is also a valuable test for engine
 crews for only in a Few cities do they
 have the proper working tests. A break at fire or the inability to oper- ate at capacity may mean the loss of property and life to the discredit of
 the department.
 Ii was the most exhaustive test ever given the steamers. Many sizes of nozzles were used and everything worked well. MT. Barker kept q rec ord of the workings of the engines and until he has opportunity to figure these out the exact result will not be known. Chief Stanton however stated that the machines worked well and showed that they are ready for service any time
 On Tuesday Chemical Co.,, No. 5, was called out for a grass fire in the rear of Sherman street. This makes 12 calls for the department in January, there being but two bell alarms. The loss is slight for the month.

With the exception that one or two who may have been before the post sur geon here for examination because of disability, the enrolment has been completed for the personal tax and it shows a decided increase over that of last year, inasmuch as the age limit has been advanced There are 3959 who are liable to pay the tax and the law requires the tax collector to give the names of all delinquents on this tax to the prosecuting attorney. This differs materially from the collection of the former communication tax in that there was no requirement. about turning over the names of delinquents, and as the result very few took the pains to pay the tax.
 The enrolment was completed sev- eral weeks ago and the result of that in the six districts of the town has been summarized by A. s. Spalding, and will be forwarded to Hartford, its completion being required to first of February.
 The total number of names secured by the enumerators is 1858 of which 997 are exempt for the various reasons, leaving 3959 liable for the tax, which is over twice the number liable for tax last year which Sas 1896.

PRoF.FARRELL's RECITAL
 HEARD WITH KEEN DELIGHT. Greatest Musician Norwich Has Pro.
 duced in Score of Years.

Before an audience of the most keenly discriminating music lovers Of this city, who filled Y. M. C. A. hall. both main floor and gallery, on Tues day evening, Prof. Frank l.. Farrell won the most enthusiastic plaudits in a piano recital which stamped him. in the words of one well known musical authority, as '-the greatest musician Norwich has produced in score Of years, and worthy to be ranked with the masters of the present day" From the opening number of his well chosen programme to the encore number with which it closed, Professor Farrell held the undivided appreciation of his audi ence, who were won to fatterlng ap- plause for every number, and at the close of the programme there were many to come forward to express their personal congratulations and delight with the artistic triumph of the pianist.
 In the year since Professor Farrell gave a former recital here it was the opinion that his work of Tuesday evening showed a marked gain in that delicacy of touch and interpretation that comes from true temperament, a feature that was notably apparent in the selections of the evening.
 The following was the programme
 Beginning with the chaste beauty of the Beethoven Rondo. through which artist and audience entered into instant sympathy,the programme pass ed on to the Brahms sonata in five movements, wherein the brilliant tech nique temperament and tempo and power of the performer had abunda nt scope for display. After the expres- sive shadings of the first movement Of the Sonata, the Andante gave oppor- tunity for rarely delightful handling of the beautiful ton-pOem of the com poser,in in which Professor Farrelrs tenn peramental qualities were shown at their best in the handling of the fanci- full theme so full of imagery. In the Scherzo and the finale his wonderful technique was shown, and the power of his climax brought out such insist ent applause that he was compelled to reappear in acknowledgment of the ovation.
 Again in the Chopin Etude in Thirds he gave another brilliant exhibition of technique and tempo, while the Chopin Valse was on of the highly commend ed numbers of the evening.
 The Schloezer Etude de Concert dis played the commanding power and brilliancy of his execution, and was the signal for another recall to answer the plaudlts of his audience. while the Rossini- -Liszt number was again the sympathy and imagination, in inter- preting the festive imagery and hol- iday joy of the composers thought
 Two encores were given to the in tense delight of the audience, who would willingly have heard more These were Kanagrvffe's Spielgose and Mendelssohn's Song Without Words The ushers for the evening were G. s. Powers. Noah Lucas, Allyn L. Brown, H. NJ. George, and Paul Zahn and Thomas Connors was in charge of the tickets

Why l Lost
 My Job.
Reasons Why Thousands Like Me Cannot Satisfy
 Their Employers.

T believe my fate is not unlike that of thousands of other workers who daily lose their places for reasons they do not know, and probably would not believe. When their last pay envei- ope comes along, 1t is usually. "our services no longer required" If the truth were known, the reason for their unceremonious removal would probably be that their usefulness was destroyed because of some mental worry, bodily ailinent or general disposition. These things as we all know, are the most fruitful causes of failure in all walks of life. The battle of Waterloo was lost because of headache. In this quick age our minds must be clear, rapid. active and free from outside influence or worry, or else we go down to failure with the throng of 'fioat- ers'' who go from one place of enn- ployment to another, giving no satiS- faction to others or to themselves, con- stRntly growing older and less useful, with no ambition. no will power, and no hope.
 Every man requires from every other man the best that is in him. But no man can use or get the best that is in himself until he Is first free from all fretful indispositions and wor- ries.
 That was my trouble. I was full of troubles That's why l lost my job My stomach in the first place was al- ways out of order, and was worrying about it and my mind grew cloudy, and slow. I made mistakes, and grew grouchy. That was the end.
 There are thousands like me, going about with quick lunch" faces, dys- peptic manners. and repuisive atnos-
