FIRE PREVENTION WORK
SHOWS MARKED RESULTS
Substantial Reduction in Losses in
New York and Other
Large Cities.

The movement for fire prevention
ready begun to produce satisfactory re-
suits, according to Charles Nesbit. SUI
perintendent of insurance of the Dis
trct
In this connection Mr. Nesbit quoted
figures Of the National Board of Fire
Underwriters as follows:
New York city in 1915 had 1,010 fewer
fires than in 1914. and its aggregate
losses showed a decrease of $3.50 .793
from those of 1914. Its per capita fire
loss was sl.06.' or % cents less than
was known before; its loss per fire
was s14O5s less than the lowest pre-
ally attributed to New y Yorlts fire pre-
vcntion Wor!.
+ Chicago has a bureau of fire preven-
ton and public safety with extensive
activities. Translated into figures it
appears that Chicago in 1915 enjoyed a
decrease of 1928 in the number of fires
and of $685. sos in total fire losses, as
compared with 1914
In Boston's metropolitan district the
comparative figures for the single
month of June are: In 1914. 1897
alarms; in 1915, 935 alarms. in 1916, sos
alarms, or a decrease in two years of
Ga per cent.
Cincinnati is interested in fire preven-
ton. Its 1914 figures of 2.13S fires and
s639.473 in losses were reduced to ,10S
fires and $365.570 in losses for ISIS
reduction of 20 per cent in the former
item and nearly so per cent in the
latter.
Milwaukee in 1915 had only 1879
fires against 1851 in 1914. decrease
of 90 per cent. Its, total fire losses for
1915 were s487,009, against s777.9i6 in
1915 and s9534I7 in 1913.
The above are a few of the bright
spots and represent but the merest be-
ginning. II must never be overlook ed
that fire prevention is still confronted
by enormous task Momentary en-
thusasm because of reductions effected
in few cities is somewhat dampen ed
by the reflection that 1915 saw the
enormous total of S39.J91 ,221 in the
single item of. dwelling house fires in
the United States. OF this amount, Sc,
322.sl3. s17,323 per day. is directly
traceable to defective chimneys and
fues. a cause which could have been
ascertained and corrected.

WHAT IS 1T TO TRUST JLsUs CHRIST?
Sir" said doctor to his patient,
II want to know what this trusting
in Jesus is; you say, faith in Jesr 8
brings pardon of sin, and peace; hat
is this believing and getting happin-
ess. Can you tell me?"
Doctor" replied the patient, II
am very i'll and sick, have felt that
| could do nothing, and have therefore
put my case in your hands; | am
trusting to you to cure me and make
me we'll. Just this that l am doing
to you, you MUST do to Jesus; this
is exactly what every poor sinner
MUST do for salvation. just trust
in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Great
Physician.
"Is that alp" exclaimed the doctor
simply trusting in the Lord Jes 8
Christ. l see it as | never saw it be-
fore. and the meaning of the words,
whatsoever believeth in Him shall not
perish, but have everlasting life

my stead-loved me and gave Him

From that sick bed the doctor went
away a changed and happy man, for
he saw Jesus as His substitute.

Trusting as the days go by,
Even when my faith is small,
Trusting Jesus that is all

Lecture at Court House.

Concerning the lecture by Prof
Michael G.. Rohan, who viii appear
here at the court house on March 10,
Tie Chiffon, wis., Times, had the
following:
The evening entertainment at the
Turner Haii more than realized the
expectations of the audience. AL
though the weather was very dis
agreeable the largest crowd the hall
has held in some years braved the in
clement elements to hear Prof. Rohan
OF Marquette University, Milwaukee,
who delivered magnificent lecture,
entitled, Beautiful Ireland"
His lecture from beginning to end
was a continuous flow of polished
language that charmed and captivat-
ed the audience and stamped him as
a scholar and genius. His descrip-
ton of Ireland's industrial and com
mercial conditions sad comment
on England's cruel neglect-his de-
piction of the beautiful scenery of the
green little isle, his portrayal of the
suffering of her people, his relation
of Irish hospitality, his narrative of
the splendor of her achievements in
art and science when she held the
proud distinction of being "the isle of
saints and scholars" and her loyalty
to faith in the days of persecution,
his eulogies of her public men and
leaders-all were given in language
most sublime and with eloquence
most impressive. The stereopticon
views of Ireland gave good idea of
the country in general and many left
the hall that night with far different
impressions of Ireland than they ever
had before. The public buildings,
magnificent cathedrals, massive mon
uments to public men, ruined abbeys,
rustic scenery, beautiful lakes, etc,
were shown and described by the pro-
lessor in manner that was truly
marvellous. Whether holding aloft
the staunch character of one of Ire
lands great heroes, telling of the
struggles for freedom of this liberty
loving people, showing the morality
of her inhabitants and the almost
total absence ofcrime in the land,
describing a simple rural scene or
giving an illustration of Irish wit or
repartee, his elOquence never tagged,
his diction remained pure and simple,
his style ever florid and the language
always classic. In fact he was so full
of his subject and so inexhaustible
and felicitOus in his expression that
in listening to the scholarly and elo-
quent lecture one almost imagines
himself in Fairyland, charmed with
beautiful music, waited on the gen
tie breezes through garden of flow
ers. The people of this community
were indeed fortunate to have the OPP
portunity of enjoying the splendid
lecture of such scholar and genius
as Prof. Rohan has proven to be.

BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington, March 81 Special. !
Quite a number Of "close friends" Of
Colonel Roosevelt have been relating q
story to the effect that he has made or
written a statement saying he thought
it would be bad policy for him to make
an effort to secure the nomination at
the Republican convention unless there
should be a demand for him.
"a nomination after a bitter fight
he is quoted as saying, would proba-
bly, mean defeat In the election. If
am to be nominated the nomination
should come TO me because il Is believ-
ed | am the strongest man and as
sort OF a spontaneous demand"
1t may be well doubted that the colo
mel said anything like that. He knows
there will be no spontaneous or over
whelming demand, but that only after
a bitter struggle could he be named.
In politics | have never heard of
Roosevelt allowing any one to speak
for him or represent his views. When
he gets ready to say anything he will
speak for himself
