Ffremen's Annual Reunion
Chicago, Oct. 9.-Fortytwo years
ago last night Mrs. O'Leary's COW
kicked over a lantern in a barn on
the West side and started a cOnflagra-
ton which destroyed property valued
at $1S6, 100000. The veterans of the
fire of II now bent and grizzled
fought the fire all over again at their
annual reunion. Former Fire Chief
John Campion, who responded to the
first alarm on Saturday night and did
not get back to his station until Thurs
day morning, recounted thrilling in
stances of his long battle with the
flames.
This was Fire Prevention day in
Illinois by proclamation of Governor

BEAT HIS DAUGHTER.
t. w. CartmiII Whipped 10 Year Old
Girl With Strap.

A heavy harness strap with buckle
was introduced as evidence in the
Cartmill case this morning, in the city
court. The principal witness was
knickers.- who testified he had seen
his father, T. w. Cartmill, Tenth and
Weir streets, strike Is year old Crete
Cartmill with the strap. Kilmaurs
King, humane officer, swore out the
warrant, charging the father with
"wilfully torturing and cruelty beat
ing the child. Judge Robert Carver
suspended sentence, but observed IN
the court room that he saw no excuse
for the affair.
Crete took the stand this morning
and told her story with the brevity of
a lawyer: Last Friday morning my
father gave me a beating with d
strap. He told me to help my step
mother get breakfast was already
got. Then he commenced with the
strap"
Ever been whipped before?''
''Yes-with a buggy whip. 1 was
in bed for a week. 1t was a new whip,
and was broken in pieces"
Mrs. Bertha Wilson, Crete'S sister,
with whom the girl is now living at
326 Chickasaw street, described the
bruises on the child's back and Shout
ders George, the small brother
climbed to the stand, and identified
the strap.
CartmilI testified he had struck
Crete because she used indecent Ian
guage. He declared he contributed to
her support, and recently gave her 81
to 'buy what she needed"
Following the suspension of judg-
ment by the court, Kilmaurs King
took the younger Cartmill children to
the juvenile court. 1t is probable, ac-
cording to Judge MacFarland, that
complaint will be filed against Cart
mill. and steps taken to remove the
Children from his care.

Drink in the Old DAYS.

Authorities in England formerly
took pains that the Londoner should
not miss his full share Of ale. In the
sixteenth century, for instance, the
brewer who ceased to brew was faced
with the loss Of his business. Thus,
If the mayor got wind OF any OF the
sadie brewers, Of their frowarde and
peryersc myndes, shall at any time
hereafter sodenly forbeare and alb
steyue from bruyinge whereby the
kings subjects should be destitute or
unproyided of drynke," he knew ex-
actly what to do The city council
was empowered to take over the bust
ness as a going concern and to take
measures TO see that 1t was kept
going
The city then and for centuries
after was all for beer. There is rec
ord OF a petition OF 1878, for instance,
praying that ten, coffee and brandy
be banned The petitioners reasoned
that the laborers needed good strong
beer and ale" which refreshed their
bodies and neither did them prejudice
nor hindered their work"
Besides, it cost little and was the
product of homegrown grain, whereas
the new tangled drink was expensive

certainly a great feat 10 walk a dis

IL There are many men who have &C
complished this feat and never real

in the cases of postmen and messen'
gers who have spent their lives in
such occupations. In England there
was postman who when he retired
from active service had covered on
his rounds a distance OF 100000 miles
Another postman in Scotland who

had travelled distance of 10000
miles on foot Still another postma 4
who completed a journey of l25,0OC

1t is astonishing what distances
can be covered by men whose voca'
lions do not necessarily call for foot
travelling. The organist of church
in small town in England who died
a short time ago had walked 10000
miles to play his organ every Sun
