While was attending the morning
drill Of the Central fire station in
Dresden, in Saxony, the captain In
command told me that the city had,
on an average, about six alarms of
fire week. | casually remarked that
we had 25 a day in New York. He
looked at me with wonderment and
doubt, and when l repeated that we
actually had between 20 and 80 alarms
of fire a day In the borough of Man
haitian alone he threw up his hands
and exclaimed: Thank heaven It is
not as bad as that here, or our beau.
tiful city would be destroyed" And
so we find, thanks to superior build
ing construction, less hurry and rush
of business methods and a wholesome
regard on the part of the citizens for
certain rigid laws covering the use of
explosives and materials of all kinds
which usually cause fire, the lot of
the foreign fire-fghter is not as siren
uous as that of his brother firemen
on this side of the water. Because
Of the excellent character of the build
ings abroad fires burn slowly and
rarely extend beyond the room or
floor in which they start.

ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN.

Nearly thousand girls who went
on a strike in a Philadelphia hosiery
mill have organized a union.
Never before in England have so
many women candidates offered
themselves as candidates for town
and metropolitan borough councils.
Three women have already applied
to Mayor Mitchell of New York city
for jobs in the police department.
Women students will be admitted
to membership in the new ski club
to be organized at the University of
Wisconsin.
1t is estimated that militant suf-
fragists in England destroyed prop
erty to the value of $2,55O,7 $50 dur
ing the past year.
One Of the hobbies Of Queen Mary
of England is the collection of a rep

Speaking of the concentration of
power in the hands of the Auditor
and branches of his office, leads the
Glasgow Times to sound this note of
warning:
Time and again have rings gotten
in control in Kentucky, only to be
smashed into smithereens by public
sentiment. Kentuckians have never
politically submitted to the domino
ton of any man, or set of men. Not
even the immortal Goebel could con-
troll them, and the small fry now
rafting in the shoes of greater and
better men need not attemrt it.
Ring and clique methods mean ruin
to the ringsters and clicksters, and
spells disaster to the democratic
party. There is a terrific battle i'm
pending beween the people and the
professional politicians"

Desire to See Man Whom Ne Had
Saved From soaffoId Had
to Be Set Aside.

A hitherto unpublished story of
Victor Hugo is told in lie Cri de
Paris. It is generally known and
believed in France that Armand
Barbes was saved from the scaffold
in 1910 by four lines of verse ad-
dressed by Hugo to Louis Philippe,
king Of the French. Yet Barbes had
never seen the great man and never
saw him during his exile. In 1870,
some months before the war between
France and Germany, Barbes was
dying in The Hague. The exile ex-
pressed to NJ. Claretie, then a young
journalist, his regret at never hav-
ing met the man through whom he
had obtained the pardon Of the king.
Victor Hugo was at Brussels when
NJ. Claretie came to present the de-
sire of the sick man to see him.
Hugo heard the request, and turn
ing to his son Charles said "Charles,
Barbes asks to see me. Duty calls
me. We must set out for The Hague
this evening"
During the day the great poet and
romancer received a pressing letter
offering him the presidency of the
peace congress at Geneva and beg
cling him to come Immediately.
Then said Victor Hugo to his son,
Between one man and humanity l
have no right to hesitate. Charles,
We shall set out this evening for
Switzerland And Barbes died
without having ever seen Victor
Hugo.

Knocking the MIIItants.

Here are some prize-winning de-
Scriptive epigrams submitted In a re-
cent advertising contest In which
short definitions OF a suffragette were
asked for:
A suffragette Is a woman who thinks
she has been devoted long enough.
Not satisfied with the last word, she
also wants the first.
She is a woman who needs the poll"
for her vaulting ambition.
A suffragette Is thing OF beauty
and jawer forever
A woman who would rather break
windows than clean them.
A woman whose troubles are GER
tainly not little ones"
One who spends more time airing
her views than viewing her heirs.
A woman who win spare no panes to
get her rights.
A woman who would rather rock the
country than the cradle.-Exchange

CHARACTER TOLD BY nose
Some Truth and a Whole Lot Of Fool
ishness Contained In the Patter
Of the Wise ones.

Some crack-sure classifers OF hu.
manity have turned their attention
lately to the shape Of peoples noses.
II is the nose, we are told now, that
makes, or at least reveals, the man.
A Roman nose means aggressive
ness, courage, executive ability. It be-
longs to great warriors and captains OF
industry. The Grecian nose indicates
refinement, often accompanied by tim
ldity. The snub nose indicates child
like, undeveloped type of mind. And
so on, as long as white paper and
printing ink can induce the strain Of
chronicling such imbecilities.
Perhaps there is an element of truth
In these conjectures, but II is terribly
small. Alexander the Great was a
warrior of some repute, whom no one
has accused of timidity and few have
charged with refinement. His nose,
like his blood. was pure Greek. Socra-
ties had a snub nose of pronounced
type, but his heroic life of seventy
years shows no childish quality, unless
1t be bluntness of speech. The nose
anu an DlJlOuS Oh LOUIS AlN. were hO-
man, but he was physically a coward,
and his executive ability consisted in
cementing a despotism that had to be
wrecked before his country could re-
sumo its progress.
These be individuals. Masses show
the same disregard for ready-made
rules. Considering their numbers, the
Scandinavians Of the middle ages were
the greatest conquerors the world has
Roman noses are as
scarce In Scandinavia as black hair.
The Japanese are predominantly
snub nosed, but he who takes them for
children has queer notions of a nur-
sery. The Spartans we're Greeks and
Greek nosed; but their
name is synonymous for dauntless
and their refinement was a
minus quantity.
There is a deal Of human nature In
any man, no matter what the shape
Of his nose; and the most unalterable
thing about human nature is its vari-
ability. The effort to make fixed and
certain rules for the judging of man
kind is the pastime of fools.

The First National Bank of Gala
tin, Tenn, was looted of more than
$4,000 Thursday night and the bank
records piled on the floor and were
burning when discovered. The safe
door was open and no explosive had
been used. Tracks of one man were
found in the snow leading to and
from a window and back door. 1t is
believed that the robbery was COM
mitted by some one familiar with the
bank.

Craze for luSurles,

The craze for luxuries is one OF the
prevailing Ills of the times. II is per.
fectly natural for men and women to
want the good things OF life, but II is
mighty bad policy for them to attempt
10 get these things when they have
not got the means. This fact Is en-
iphasized by a report from Boston
which says that many OF the residents
of that once conservative town have
sacrificed their homes in order to IN
dulge in the luxury OF motoring. Phs
story Of a man selling his home for
the purpose OF purchasing an automo-
bile was formerly regarded as a good
Joke for the vaudeville artists, but
now II has become a tragic fact. The
report from the Hub may be exag.
gerated, but there is no reason TO
doubt that thousands OF persons go 10
the wall every year in a vain and
foolish attempt 10 live beyond their
means The desire 10 initiate those
who are richer thar themselves is the
rock on which many an otherwise
happy home is wrecked Luxury
once tasted seems 10 get in the blood
and the only remedy is determined
effort 10 get back to the simple life

SUE MILLIONAIRES FOR TWO HUNDRED
MILLIONS NEW HAVEN LOOT

MILLIONS NEW
BY ellison Gardner.
Washington, D. c., May 26.-What
should be done about the footing Of
the NewHaven? What can be done?
The best authority 1 can find in
Washington-indeed, the best in the
country says it is this:
Civil suits should be brought by
the present board of directors of the
New Haven against the men who
were members of the, board and who
in that position we're responsible for
the illegal diversion of stockholders
money, to make these parties restore
between one hundred and two hum
dred million dollars to the treasury
of the company to be thus returned
to the stockholders who have been
robbed.
This is the only punishment which
would fit the crime. Criminal suits to
put one or two men behind the bars
would be futile, if successful and
they never can succeed. The direc-
tors are all men of A-No. 1 financial
standing and responsibility. They got
away with the loot and they have It.
It should be taken from them and re-
stored to the rightfuI owners. Among
those against whom such suits should
be brought at once are the ]. P. Nor
gan estate, William Rockefeller, Geo.
F. Baker of. New1YOrk, George McC. /

Mass, Alexander Cochrane, the estate
of Charles F. Choate, the estate Of |

looks to place the responsibility and |
secure restitution are President Had |

statement that picketing is unlawful.
"They want to go on record that
peaceful picketing is lawful, provided
that we picket peacefully anywhere
but on Randolph street.

make them. We are merely stating
the truth without judicial frills."
