BLAZE
AN ANNUAL G|F 7

What looked for a while like a
serious blaze in the heart of the
city occurred about . O'Clock Christ
mas day. when the alarm was sent
in from the Sherrard paint store on
Second avenue between the Little
Grill and the Tanana bakery.
The flames We're first discovered
by Mrs. GoodfelloW. who conducts
the Little Grill, and upon her Civ.
ing the alarm Dan Driscoll respond
cd with a hand chemical, with which
he kept the flames under control
until the arrival of the department.
Owing TO the central location of
the flames Chief Buckley thought
il unwise to take any chances of
them getting beyond his control and
Of water turned into the building
This had the desired effect of con
filming the flames to the room in
which they originated, and while
they burned fiercely tor time. a
no time was there any danger of
them spreading to contiguous prop
erty.
Aside from a total wreck of the
raint store no other damage was
done except by water The Little
Grill was just in the midst of pre-
pairing Christmas dinner and this
was somewhat delayed, necessitating
the changing of all the table linen
and dolling up again to a more or
less degree The bakery was some
what flooded also but the damage
TO either place was nominal
An investigation of the chief of
the department the day after the
fire in an endeavor to locate the
cause thereof resulted in the de-
cision that it was caused by short
circuit in the meter. as the walls
around it are badly burned
On the same day one year before
and within hall an hOur OF the
same time the fire laddies had their
Christmas call to blaze at the
Golden Gate hotel, and when the
latter alarm was sounded were dis.
cussing the call to the former.

ODD MISTAKES IN SHORTHAND.

A volume could be filled with
amusing stories of shorthand
mistakes, the greater number %
them due to mistaken voWels. Fo:
instance, This day is big with fate
was transcribed, This day is bis
with fat" while DO not indulge III
spite" came out do not indulge in
I spit and "A house of man ga
bles' was transformed into "A no lsa
of many gables" The use of a
wrong vowel may have the most
amusing result, as in the phrase.
Man, know myself" which was
once converted. in the report of a
sermon. into Man, snaw myself
J To misplace vowel is. in short
hand the easiest thing in the world
/ T. A Reed, the well known reporter
tells of pupil who by this means
turned mighty acts" into mighty
cats and another report of ser
mon was spoiled by the advice, Re.
turn blow with an ex" instead of
"a kiss"
The reporting style" in which the
Vowels are omitted altogether for the
sake of rapidity, is responsible for the
famous American story of the shor;
hand clerk who took down note
of his wife's instruction to BE sure
and remember to bring home some
CASTLE soap and as result, re
turned home with tin of oxtail
soup.
Newspaper readers are sometimes
astonished by mistakes on the part
of reporters. Consider, for instance
the surprise of the readers OF GER
tain staid daily some years ago
when they learned that a public
man had the night before solemnly
announced that "All reforms in this
country have been brought about
by Prussia!" The word the grea.
man had really used was pressure"
not russia so, 100, considerable
establishment was caused when.
"curates' instead of pew rates"
were reported to be the greatest
enemies of the church" A some
what similar type of error was perpc
trated by the reporter who made
Lord Carnaryon say that in these
days clergy men are expected to
have the wisdom and learning of

said was. Of course. "a Jeremy Tay,
lor.'' Another reporter referred te
John Bright as "the gamecock," in,
stead of ''rhe Gamaliel of Birming

his notes of Mr.. Chamberlain's re,
mark. "They bring up their puny
pop-guns and spatter me with
