A Midnight Fire

Fire started in the house SO Cum
berland Avenue, between Walnut

service. The chemical a put into
service on Mitchell Avenue with little
effect.
The houses, No. 3S, owned by Ros-
sell Pepperess; 40 by Tony Pepperess,
and AZ by Giovanni Patacoli adjoining,
were burned with their contents.
The wife of the tenant of 3S went
out for a few minutes leaving a kero-
sene lamp and stove burning from
which the fire started.
No one occupied No. 40. The own
ers of SO and 40 had small insurance.
Giovanni Patacoli lost all he had and
had no insurance.
There were vacant lots on each side
of the three houses. The southeast
wind blew the flames from the houses
on the opposite side Of Cumberland
Avenue. The embers were blown to
some distance, but the buildings, wet
with rain the two days previous him
dered more fire catchingi

Reveals Some Water Board Conditions

analysis showed the water at the time was not up to the standard required by the state and the United States govern ment.
 We were ordered 10 chlorinate our supply. Apparatus for this is now be- ing installed at a cost to the city of about S10,oo0, and an annual cost of $2,- 600 to maintain.
 In view of these facts, 1t 1eened to me that the board should practice strict economy in the management. I have, as you know, not favored any increase in salaries, as I did not think conditions favorable at this time.
 The loss to the city during the past five years will total more than s75,000. It is not necessary for me to go into detail, as some of the members of this board were members of the board at the l time these things were done and with | their knowledge and consent. In closing, would say that the cleri- cal work of this department is being done in a creditable manner and merits the appreciation of the board. I wish, MT. President-to-be. that sue. cess may attend ali your efforts and tha- you may be factor in improving tn, conditions now existing. You will hay, my support in all things tending to tn, good of the department
 | also trust that your relations witt those under your control will be nor,
 congenial and satisfactory than I hav
 found them during the past year.

Madrid's Nieht Life

Leaders in Spanish society probably have never heard the ancient Ameri- can musical comedy classic, "'Ain't It Funny What a Difference Just a Few Hours Make" but they agree with the sentiment as they are making a valient effort to introduce a social day that ends at midnight instead of dawn, says a correspondent of the San Francisco Chronicle.
 At present the tendency in Madrid is to drive today into tomorrow, and society functions are gradually becom- ing later and later.
 Nothing begins before 6 o'clock in the evening, at which hour afternoon tea commences and lasts till o'clock Theatre matinees start at 6.30 or and continue till s.30 or 10. Dinner is taken anywhere between 10 and 11.30.
 Meanwhile the main performances at the theatres and opera have opened but the smart set never think of en' tering their stalls or boxes until the second act is well under way, as onS of their purposes in going is to bt seen. When the performance is ovei at 1 or 1.3o a supper dance follows ending at dawn.
 The acknowledged pinnacle of aris tocracy, the Duke de Alba. has se his face against this topsy-turvydon and decreed that his palace, which il a central point for gatherings of dip lornats, scientists, artists and politi clans, shall never remain open afte midnight.
