HE 15TH DAY OF THIS MONTH THE District fire department will have a grand parade. The fire laddies are doing all in their power to make the affair a success. Merchants are responding liberally to their solicitations for aid, and altogether the parade promises to go far shead of anything of the kind ever seen im Washington. The department will be able to show considerable new apparatus, including achemical engine and two aerial trucks, and as fine looking a set of men as any fire depart- ment in the country. The history of the local fire department is interesting and its rapid strides to its present perfection astonishing.

The names of the old volunteer companies were as follows: Union. Fra Vigilance, Persever- ance, Columbia, Northern Liberty, Western Hose, Anacostia, Metropolitan and American. ‘The last two were hook and Iadder companies. Each company was manned by a hardy set of men, ranging in number from twenty-five to fifty, together with a reserve force of from one to two hundred me Considerable fuult was found with the old volunteer department, principally because there was no order about things, and November 22, 1862, the governing body of the city, which at that time consisted of a board of aldermen and common council. by a joint act reorganized it | and appointed John Peabody chief.

Styles Imitated Here Are Not Always so Awfally English as is Imagined. 66])UDES IN THIS COUNTRY ENTER- ‘tain some very mistaken notions on the subject of English fashions,” said a well- dressed man of middle age toa Stan writer. “They have no such extravagant changes in styles as one sees bere, and the ‘latest thing from London, you know,’ is more apt'than not to be simply a freak taken up on this side of the water. Take the matter of hats for example. You will find the best-dressed Englishmen to- day wearing silk hats with bell crowns and in all sorts of other shapes. Bell crowns in this country went out years ago. The reason is simply that every London hatter of importance has his own special blocks, which he keeps year after year. He becomes known for making those particular shapes, and men who like them go to him always for their headgear. One hat- ter affects bell crowns, another straight chim- ney pots, and soon. The makers in New York take up one of these styles and rush it as the newest fashion, so that fora while it is sup- posed to be the only correct thing. “It is much the same way with trousers. Over here you find them varying from year to year in width. Each season the leg must be a certain number of inches in circumference. Meanwhile -the well-dressed men in England are having their ‘bags’ made in all sizes. A London tailor will cnt his customer's panta- loons with reference to individual becoming- ness. It is recognized that a dumpy man Wit) short legs looks best with narrow trousers, and vice versa. “Each London tailor has his own specialty in garments. A mun will go to one for his walk- ing clothes, to another for his frock coat, to another for his dress suit, and so on. For Years past young men in this country have magined that it was ‘very English’ to wear loud checks. Englishmen do wear checks, but never in town—that is to say, gentlemen do not. They reserve such apparel for the country, for traveling, and for roughing it gen- erally. One fashion the Britishers have which differs curiously from our own. When they go into a restaurant they keep their hats on until they sit down instead of taking them off upon entering, as we do.” AN ICE BOX IS NOT A SAFE. At All Events, Not When It is Kept Out in the Yard. 667] HAVE BEEN HAVING LARGE SPORT with a refrigerator,” said a treasury off- cial toa Star writer. “Circumstances oblige me to keep that article of domestic furniture in the yard. I have no room for it in the pan- try, the kitchen is too hot, and it would cause unhealthy puddles in the cellar. Sometime ago my situation in this regard was discovered by a mysterious pilferer, who adopted the habit of making nightly visits to the ice box for purposes of plunder. I should not say per- haps that he came every night, but certainly three times a week on an average. Now it ile OCTOBER. 10, 1891—SIXTEEN PAGES. EDUCATIONAL. EDUCATIONAL. ‘TON. N WASHINGTON.

My wife was in despair. Her marketing was never safe, and each morning was likely to bring news of fresh ravages. TRYING TO CATCH A THIEF. “I called in the services of the policeman on my beat and he spent parts of several nights hiding in the yard. The nocturnal visitor must have chosen other hours, because the trouble still continued. I meditated various expedients, such as bear traps and gangs of fish hooks attached to the door of the ice box, whereby the intruder might be captared and held until morning. Finally, I hit upon a more gentle plan which I thought would be equally effective. I went to the shop where I bought fireworks last Fourth of July and pur- chased the biggest kind of a torpedo. It was a buster. [really didn't know that torpedoes of such a size were made. That evening I fixed the torpedo in an ingenious manner to the refrigerator, so that it could not be opened without an explosion. ‘There was no visitation that night, but when the servant wen" to the ice box early the next morning there was a frightful bang, followed by such yells as I never heard before in my life. I had forgotten to warn her on the subject, but she gave me warn- ing at once and lett immediately, saying that she would not work for a person who set explo- sives to blow her up. “Ihave a friend of a scientific turn. He is so interested in science that he has no feelings in the ordinary way. All sorta of horrors in bottles decorate his chambers and fragments of skeletons are scattered about on his shelves. He has a human skull for an ornaraent on his mantelpiece. Tasked him if he would lend it tome and he said yes. So I took it and pro- cured a small quantity of phosphorus from an apothecary shop. The same evening—we had lost a beefsteak and seven veal cutlets in dark of the moon on the night previous—I rubbed the skull carefully over with the phos- phorus and set it on the shelf in the refriger tor. Inever saw anything look so horrible in my life as it did, shining all over in the dark of the ice box with a luminous glare. THE SKULL DID THE BUSINESS. “It was about 2 o'clock in the morning, I shonld judge, when my whole family was waked up by a series of unearthly howl. 1 grabbed the hatchet, which I always keep under iny bed, and rushed down stairs. By this time the howls had become subdued into groans, with which, when I reached the yard, whence they seemed to proceed, lamentations and prayerful appeals were mingled. ‘Good Lawd, have merey on a po" thievin’ ger!’ I heard a voice cry. ‘Don't let the bil in the box fly away wid dis chile.’ ‘I found the culprit crouched in a corner of the yard, fairly helpless with fright und shiver- ing all over. Just as I grabbed him my friend the policeman jumped over the fence, and be- tween us we half dragged the captive into the kitcben, where we lighted the gas and interro- gated him. He was so desperately scared, how- ever, as only to be able to jabber ineoherentl: and I was obliged to restore him somew! with a liberal doxe of my own whisky before hi could summon strength enough in his limbs to be escorted. to the police station. He after- ward confessed to having been engaged for months in stealing my provisions, and the judge sent him over the road for ninety days. So now my refrigusator is secure—at all events until some other person with indistinct notions of proper rights finds ont the conveniences it affords for nocturnal pillage.” cme Trying to Settle the Searles Will Contest ‘The farther hearing in the Searles will con- test has bten postponed to October 20 by agreement of counsel.
