"MAC" WILL REMAIN
GOVERNOR WON'T TRY
 ANY OTHER TACTICS
No Truth, Probably, in Rumor that Macdonald May be Dismissed "For Cause"-May be No Public Utilities Bill.

Hartford, Max 2-The Senate didn't waste much time about taking up the gubernatorial gauntlet and James H. Macdonald will hold over as highway commissioner for another two years any way. It is likely that the next gover- nor can, under the law appoint another commissioner if he wishes, or reappoint Macdonald, but it is unlikely that Gov ernor Baldwin will try any of the tactics the newspapers are urging on him and attempt to remove Macdonald on charges. That would be undignified and footless and would tend to alienate several very good friends of his amoug leading democrats who are disappointed sorely because he didn't reappoint Mao To lald, as it is
 Macdonald is the de facto commis sioner just as Judge Mathewson is de facto judge, and more, for MaoDonald's s appointment was created by the legisla- ture to be until his successor is appointed and qualified. Nor can 1t be said that the criticism of the Republican Senate for turning down the governor when he appointed a Republican, Terry, (Oh, yes, MT. Terry is Republican.) is very severe.
 The matter has been too we'll consid- cred. It was the first on which the pres- ent Senate has actually caucused in a binding way. Senators who would never have thought of turning down sioner have given this highway commits sionership their very carefullest consid- erAtion for weeks and months past and come to the conclusion that the state 8 highway work would suffer by the loss of "Jim" Mcdonald. It wasn't poli- tics. Don't1et these Democratic papers and the Republican papers with some personal spite against Mcdonald de- ceive you. It wasn't politics, especially as it is solemn fact that there were three Democratic senators prepared to vote against Caldwell if it became neces- sary to protect Macdonald and more than that to vote against Terry if there was any need of it.
 Whether it will hurt the Rspu blioan party or not remains to be seen. Some Republicans bolted Goodwin last fall. Most of them did so because he had beaten Everett Lake the convention and they were unreconciled,. The only Re- publicans who voted for Baldwin with Macdonald in mind were handful of New Haven men who sit around the Graduates and the Quinnipiac and whack up gook sized dividends from the operation or gas plants in Massachusetts and knock Macdonald because he won t buy their gas tar for the state roads. On the other hand, there are number of Democrats who are close friends ot Mac . Donald. don't suppose they'll bolt

HOSE WAS TOD SHORT
FIRE PROTECTION
 SHOWS ITS DEFECTS
Locomotive Sparks Set Fire to John vanDensen's Barn, but Blaze is Ex- tinguished by Hard Work on the Part of Volunteers.

Once more John VanDeusen's barn. off Church street, has had a severe scorching and 8 narrow escape from destruction, by reason of locomotive sparks setting fire to it.
 It happened, this time, last Thursday afternoon. Fortunately the fire was dIs- covered about as soon as it started, and fortunately, too, it was at an hour when there was sufficient help within call to deal with it in an effectual manner, and by the prompt organization of 8 bucket brigade which performed yeoman ser vice, the fire was extinguished before it really had a chance to show what it could do, and not much damage resulted
 The fire did one really one good thing, quacy of our system of fire protection, and pointing out, once more the imper- ative necessity of making that system something like what it ought to be. 1t was singular circumstance that Com mitteeman Wigglesworth, of the Busi- ness Mems Association committee on fire matters, had procured help, that afternoon. and hauled out the hose truck, with it's supply of hose, for a practice squirt and to ascertain the con- dition of the equipment. It'was found that the whole business was in such 8 position in it's shed that it took some time to extricate it, and it had hardly been hauled out and the discovery made that some of the hose couplings wouldn't couple, when the alarm of fire, for the VanDeusen blaze rang out. Of course the apparatus was speedily rushed to the scene and 8 coupling made with the hydrant at Judge Roraback's corner. Then, after all the hose was finally con- nected, it was found that it wouldn't reach within 100 feet of the burning barn, hence. for the purpose of this particular confagration. it was useless There was no fault with the irnprovised hose company, nor with the apparatus, so far as it went. But the fire was put out without regard to the hose, the 0LeSAOSD OA 0AO eSPPc~Ae"uuo1 oAAA @AAO credit is due solely to the promptness and energy of the men who went at it with buckets and fought the fire ''by hand"
 The occurrence provides hint tn: should have it's effect in hastening action on the matter of getting into readines' to cope with a fire presenting more ominous possibilities than Thursdays blaze-and it is likely to come, at any moment. The fire in the rear of Walters meat market, a few days before. which was discovered before any serious dam- age could be done, was another warning that deserves to be needed. And the numerous and almost daily forest fires, which threaten the homes ard buildings on the outskirts, all point out the duty of the community in the way of getting into shape for an emergency that may prove more serious than all these slight and scattered fires put together.
 This subject should furnish Q fruitful topic for discussion at the Business Mems Smoker, tonight, and result in some final and definite action along the line of preparation.

When Seuard First Met Weed

member the precise date, but 1t was in
the early twenties-I was standing in
front Of the tavern in Rochester await
ing the arrival of the stage coach from
Syracuse. The coming and departure
of the stage coach was the exciting
event of the day in Rochester; the
Erie canal had not then been COM
pleted and such thing as steam
railroad was undreamt of, though it
was to become reality few years
later. At the time 1 speak of there
had been a heavy rain for several
days, so that the road was very mud
dy, a circumstance that delayed the
arrival of the coach. But my friends
and loitered in little group in front
Of the tavern until it finally put in an
appearance some two hours late and
just before dusk.
Wheeling up in front of the hotel,
the coach became stuck in a bad mud
hole that was there, and in the at
tempt to, extricate his vehicle--you
can imagine the picturesque language
that accompanied the efforts-lo and
behold! the perspiring coachman sud-
denly upset the coach, and the next
thing knew there came sprawling in
front of me little man whom l hast
ened to relieve. He was covered with
mud from head to foot. For mo.
ment he was little confused. l took
