Work OF the Flreboats.

When ship takes fire at Its dock In
any OF the larger harbors In the coun-
try the fire department is, OF course,
notified. The call does not go first to
the engine house nearest the fire, but
to the freboat nearest the fire. The
boats are kept tied up at convenient
points, always ready to depart on a
moments notice for any part Of the
harbor. Their pumps are operated
from their own power plant, and since
they pump sea water there is no limit
to their range of activity.-Seientitic

 the Detective.'s 2 a four -act play of newspaper and police metropolitan life and incident. which is beyond question the play bf the hour, as it ings between the men "higher up'' and the commoners. The story, which is interwoven, reflects New York day bya day life, just as it actually is, and ho4ds the mirror up to nature. At the same tin1e there is nothing over drawn, nothing overstepping the bounds of plausibiIity or possibility throughout the entirep lay.
 In the unique, and greatly different lCeciI Spooner character of ssLittle ETykie,'' known as sL. T..'' the s'Girl' of the play, the popular little star will be seen in cEiaEacter of buoyancy, vim land life; just such as perfectly fits ehe highest extreme of this leader of stock productions. Reu Trenton in the character of Henry Tanner the typical star reporter of -The New kYork Wire,' will have an excellent sgerty," the Pinkerton man; Clyde Armstrong as "Judson.'' the city edi- tor of isThe Wire,'' and all the mem fbers of the company will be seen in strong parts. The production will be
 a big one in every detail, and the cast Twill be an extraordinarily strong one.
 While the engagement will only be for Hhree days. the predictions are that Hhe attendance will be capacity.
