MOVING OF THE SEASONS.

Winter at last is packing up
His goods and chattels,
The snow-piles, ice-felds.
ALI his stores of frost,
And rushing them away
To where they still may live
A little further time.
Frost-stakes that deep
Had taken root in ground
Are quickly, rudely drawn;
Locks which long had held
The streams fast bound
Are loosed and the rivulets
Begin to throb with coming life.
Like carriers of freight
The masses of cloud
Wind-driven come,
And bear away the whole
That Winter gives them.
Far on the horizon booms
The roll of thunder telling
That Spring is on the way,
Coming with promise
OF the early rains.
Winds from the south
Grow soft and full of sweetness;
The birds return
10 well-remembered nesting places;
The grasses stir; the sap swells
In roots and trunks and limbs,
And soon we know
Winter has gone, and Spring has
come

|S|NNOTT is LINKED
| WITH FEDERAL JOB
But Newarker Says He Isn't
Seeking Berth as Revenue
Collector.

Reported dissatisfaction among
New Jersey Democratic leaders over
the proposed appointment of Charles
V.Duffy, Of Paterson, who is being
backed by United States Senator
William Hughes for the post of In
ternal Revenue Collector and rumors
to the effect that the berth may fall
to the lot of an Essex county man,
has set the political dopesters to
specializing as to the possible lucky
one.
John #. Sinnott, a member of the
Passaic Valley Sewerage Commits
sion, whose name was mentioned in
connection with the position some
time ago, is again being spoken of In
that respect. and this fact led an
Evening Star reporter to seek an in
terview with Mr. Sinnott, to obtain
his views on the situation.
81 haven't heard anything about
the matter recently said Mr.. Sin
mott in answer to question. II don't
know 1t II anything is being done now
in my behalf. And 1 can tell you
truthfully If there is any move being
made to put my name forward at
this time, I am not a party to 1t.
Are you still a candidate for the
Officer" he was asked.
WELL" that Is an embarrassing
question:" he answered, "embarrass-
ing in my present position. Now If
you mean would | accept the office"
I'd say yes Why of course l would.
You know why, as the story goes, the
young woman didn't marry the young
man, she wasn't asked.
81 can tell you nothing else" Mr..
Sinnott continued. What I've said
is true and I'd take affidavit to it,
just the same as I took affidavits in
the case of Postmaster Book. That
situation was almost as embarrass-
ing as this. Frank Book was a per-
sonal friend of mine; I've known him
since his babyhood-knew his father
and mother, too.
But as to the internal revenue col
lectorship, I'd take 1t IL 1t came my
way--that is, unless I was advised
that 1t would be better for me not to
for reasons that l don't care to
state now. You understand" he con-
cluded with a smile and a knowing
wink.

Tilted SuitOr Dashes
Vitri0l Down Back of
Woman Who Spurned Him

Because Mrs. Helen Fisher, twenty
three years old, of 26 Magnolia street
former sweetheart, spurned his at
tentions, Philip Spinpinnatto, of 1876
Bruce street, dashed a bottle of vitrol
over her back last night while she
was walking in Springfield avenue
with a friend. The acid burned
through her clothes and SCARED her
neck. Mrs. Fisher caused her as
sailant's arrest.
According to the story Mrs. Fisher
told the police. the man was once
keeping company with her, but she
has since ceased speaking to him.
She and companion were walking
down Springfield avenue, when at
Morris avenue, Spinpinnato spoke to
her. She did not answer him, she
says On returning over the same
route Spinpinnatto again addressed
her, but she passed on. After the
second rebuff she felt burning SEN
sation on the neck. She went into a
drug store, where it was found that
her neck had been burned with acid
Mrs Fisher met Sergeant Kull of
the Fourth precinct, and told him of
the assault. Kull went back to Nor
ris avenue, where he found Spinpin-
natto standing on the corner. Ac-
cording to Kull the man exclaimed:
II didn't do anything to the girl"
before he was told of the charge
against him.
When arraigned before Acting
Judge Yuill in the Fourth Precinct
Court today Spinpinnatto was held in
$500 bail to await action by the grand
jury. Mrs. Fisher and James Paul
lila, forty-two years old, of $50 Cam
den street, were held In $500 bail as
material witnesses. 1t is alleged that
Paulilla offered Mrs. Fisher $50 to
withdraw the charge against Spin
pinnatto.

Because Dr. Charles A. SPAIN, a

son of round shoulders and hollow

New work inspected by municipality
and by underwriters. New work only
fair; much old work in poor to hazar-
dous condition. Wires partly under
ground in the business districts, but
many serious Instructions still exist.
Serious electrolytic action on water
system.
CONFEDERATION Hazard-In the con-
gested value district much poor con-
struction, large areas, generally I'M
protected openings and narrow side
streets render serious group fires prob
able at many points. Numerous Are
proof buildings and several sprinkler
equipments, together with two wide
streets, are so grouped as to render
any sweeping fire improbable. The fire
department is strong, the water sup
ply is fair to adequate and the result
ant confagration hazard Is moderate.
In the tenement districts there are
several congested centres where both
potential and probability hazards are
severe; the extensive hill tenement
district is especially bad, as the water
supply is deficient; this exposes the
congested value and surrounding dis
tricts. In manufacturing and minor
mercantile districts only group fires
are probable, although these may be
serious at points where the water sup
ply is deficient and along the water
front where accessibility is poor. The
detached residential sections present
the usual hazard of frame dwellings,
largely with shingle'roofs.
(This is somewhat different from the
! first report, as the general summary
says: 1.-THE fire department is strong,
the water supply is fair to adequate

| is moderate" The general sum-
mary" precedes all other reports, it is
explained.
| 1t was set forth in the original state
ment that the captains of fire COM
| panies report on fires weekly, the
| battalion chiefs semi-monthly and
that the chief engineer of the de-
partment submits monthly reports.
AS a matter of fact, reports of fires,
even false alarms, are forwarded
to headquarters daily and as soon
after the fire as possible. Deputy
chiefs and battalion chiefs make daily
reports of fires and other matters,
and the chief engineer, while keep
ing the Board of Fire Commissioners
constantly informed as to daily hap
penings, submits to the board a de-
tailed statement of department oper-
ations for each month. These state
| ments are embodied In the depart
ment's annual report, which the
! Board of Underwriters says is clear
and comprehensive"
| Some haste In making up the report
that accompanies the general sum-
mary is evident in the fact that the
leaves in many parts are bound to-
| gether upside down. The pages In
the fire departments annual report
are arranged in the most up-to- date
