Birmingham looked with disfavor up- on the plan of allowing men not members of the department appear in the regulation uniform. The board took the view of Supt.

 Charged Storage
 To Wreck Victims
SOMEBODY MADE A BLUNDER
 ( !

\NeW IOTh I1IneS.)
 When the bruised and battered people who so narrowly escaped with their lives from the accident at Say brook responded to notice and went three days later, to claim such poor remnants of their baggage as had al last been dug out of the wreckage they were presented with storage bills for the time over the regularly per mitted one day that their trunks, suit eases, and valiseS had been left in the New Haven Railway Company s keeping.
 There is something really amusing in that, but the excellence of the joke is probably more easily appre- ciable by those of us upon whom it was not played than by the travellers who had to pay the bills There IS no report that they laughed or even smiled, and the chances are that they did neither, ability to see the comic side of an outrage depending a good deal on the spectators distance there from and his disintereste edness there in. After the justifiably' angry vic- tims of this particular outrage have time to cool off, however, they will presumably realize that it was com mitted not in accordance with the wishes of the New Haven Company, but by one of it's underlings who by reason of stupidity or from lack of discretionary power did not to meet an emergency, break a rule made for ordinary occasions.
 The rule in itself, is reasonable enough, for of course railway sta- tions are not designed to serve as storage warehouses. and it is against the general interest that they should be so used. The enforcement of the rule in this instance will add to the unpopularity of a corporation never too popular except with Connecticut politicians, but. the injury it will re- ceive from the absurd incident is one to which great corporations, with their inevitably wide spaces between power and it's detailed enforcement, are peculiarly subject. Where the baggage rule was in action there was nobody authorized to suspend it and nobody with the courage to suspend it without authority.
 So, as often, in the corporate an nals, the blunder that is worse than crime was. committed without any body's being really very much to blame for it.

F|SCHER'S YORK GARBAGE PLANT
 FIRE SWEPT
Contractor, Now Has Two Fire Wrecked Buildings On
 His Hands

In the midst of his work in re- habilltating the fire wrecked garbag plant in Asylum street, c. c. Fischer, the garbage contractor, has been call ed to York, Pa., to help start the work of strengthening out the gar page plant he operates in that city. On Wednesday morning, that plant, too, was swept by fire, and damage of about $5,000 was done to the ma ch1nery. Of the mechanism affected the most important is the digestor device. It will be weeks before the plant is again in running order. It is believed that the York fire is of incendiary origin
 Fischer said before leaving that the York plant, like the Bridgeport plant is covered by insurance, but that losses will be sustained nevertheless in the enforced suspension of the garbage reduction. MT. Fischer ex- poets to have the local plant again in full blast in a few weeks.

Shetland ponies-notoriously steady
Of gait and 30 small that tumble
from the back Of one Ia not SO likely
to result in broken bones. A very In
genious contrivance has been perfect
ed for giving confidence to new re-
crutts among women bareback riders.
y Is, In effect, swinging pole sup
ported at one end by pole corre-
spending to the center pole OF cir.
Gus ring. This pole swings round and
round the ring. keeping pace with the
horse galloping around the sawdust
arena. At the outer end of this pole
is contrivance which grasps the tim
Id rider around the waist or under the
arms and which will enable her to
take her entire weight OF the horse
at moments notice. The reader will
appreciate that with this support in
reserve the rider need not fear over
balancing. If she does lose her bal
ance the pole will hold her up and en-
able her to regain her proper position
on the back Of the horse travelling d.
rectly underneath.
i Circus riders exercise great care
in the selection of their horses
"rostn-backs." as the circus people
/ call them. because of the powder that
is sprinkled on their broad backs to
prevent the riders from slipping. The
ideal horse for bareback work must
be good tempered; steady and unvary-
ing in gait. and heavy enough to pre-.
sent broad back as moving plat.
form for the performers feats. Cir.
Gus riders. 1t may be added. not only
ride in the circus ring, but also in tho
