According to the annual report ot the chief of tne fire depirtmem there were 217 ifires during the ‘past year, causing a loss 134 t41 000" as against 168 fires dufln‘ the preced- ing year with a Toss’of $46; 812, New Britain has a pretty well ‘equipped fire deputment at present, though it is not fully motorized aa it will be within a few yed. The tact that there were more fires last year than in the previous year has no relation to the fire department, the work.. .of. the latter being" fo extiniguish .%he fires after they start,’and its' prompt- ness has succeeded in keeping . the damages down.to the lowest possible limit. 'The fact that though there were more fires last year than the year before the estimated loss was approximately the . same, shows ! that the fires were principally small | affairs and no large bulldings were destroyed. ; New Britain has been fairly free from large conflagrations dur- ing recent years, those of St. Mary's church, the B. C. Porter block and |’ the Y. M. C. A. being about the largest. ‘It has been found impossi- ble to prevent fires altogether so that the best a city can do is to prepare to put the fires out when they start. The number might be lessened ' by carefulness, on the part of the peo- ple and by putting some fear in the hearts of those inclined to set fire to buildings for the purpose of col- lecting .insurance. & ‘'TALKING OF ENDORSEMENTS. There is some talk around towi t day that the demecratic 'city conven- tion may endorse the republican candidates for' treasurer and comp- troller. The latter ha§ always had opposition from the democrats, but Mr, Chamberlain has ‘been more. for- | tunate. cratic ticket two years ago but in! 1910 Richard Schfleter was -hig Op- ponent. These two offices are very ‘impor- tant because they are closely related | to the finances of.the city, the comp- troller drawing all the otders and au- diting the accounts and the treasur- er paying the bills, looking after the interest on the city ' debt, bonds, and having a great deal of information financial | matters in general. The surer is also president of-the “on board | of finance and taxation and, taking ail hig duties together the office is real- ly one of the most important in the city. These offices are.well filled at present. Church Census in New York. (New York Tribune.) The results of a census of church- goers taken on Sunday in Manhattan caused alarm yesterday at the week- ly meeting of ministers and elders of the Presbyterian churcha A count of men, women and children at all gervices showed that church dance in that denomination had fallen oft more than 10 per cent. in the last decade. Records show that membership in Manhattan churches in which the count was taken had increased 2,100 in the last ten years. Despite this the attendance had fallen off 1,500.

I (Indianapolis News.) There is so much spring in so many things that the most pessimistic weather predictions cannot discourage us, although those predictions are ac- companied with truth and snow. We are awakened by the birds these days, and there is all the difference between winter and summer in the difference between the voice of the alarm clock and the voice of a bird. There is, more- over, the essence of the awakening of spring itself in the sensation of waking “to the call of the birds. We may dis- | cover after we are awake that snow iy falling, but the snowflakes are ephe- meral creatures that do not seem to know where they came from or where they are going, and in spite of the snow the feel of spring is in the air. So far; you say, spring is in the air, but the sun shines and the snow goes and we can see spring in the sky. If there were nothing else to tell us we | should know that spring is here by the very special shade of blue that is i above and about the earth. The earth i of course, is not.to be outdone by the sky, and as it.begins to. send forth J growing things, we .. know that the of spring. Thus ‘sprmg meets spring, and from the sky and air and earth it gets into our i systems until we feel that all of spring I'is inside of us. i Not being able to sing as the birds | sing, or to shine as the sun and the | sky shine, or to bloom as the earth | blooms, we express the spring that is | within us in various ways. We paint {and we build houses and we plant seed | and we clean house and we buy spring ; hats. There is no surer note of spring than the sound of hammers, and the rapidity with which the irrepressible daffodils spring from the ground is | not more remarkable than the rapid- | ity with which new houses appear. The sun is almost as busy drying the paint on our shining fences and trellis work as he is coaxing the leaves on the trees. The crocus and the tulip are joyous flowers, but they are not more gay than the things e call hats, Spring ! is everywhere and in all things, most of all in us: COMMUNICATED.

Letters describing the installation of a new,chief in Angola, West Africa, have just reached the = American board. The new leader succeeds Kan- jundu of Chiyuka, an able and dis- tinguished native Christian, When Kanjundu died, even the heathen *“old men” around said, “Only 2 good man can be chief after Kan- jundu.” His eldest son, to whom the honor would naturally have gone, had been ruled out by the dead chief himself as not fit for the office. Kan- junduw’s brother declined the head- ship, saying: “I am old. I cannot go to the fort when they call. I can- not read, and Chiyuka is a village of books. Moreover, I am not one of ‘The words’ (Christians), and no one but a Christian can be a successor to Kanjundu. We look over the pos- sible ones and we choose Chikosi.” So Chikosi, a nephew of Kanjundu, ‘was unanimously chosen to reign in his stead. The members of the roval family sent for him and told him ot the decision, and all the people raised their hands and cried, “It is Chikosi that we want as our chief.” The lad who had been Kanjundu's attendant then came forward and said, “The chief sald, ‘When I am gone and my successor is chosen, he is to receive my hymn books, psalms and proverbs, and the sixteenth chap- ter of Proverbs is to be read.’” So the chapter was read and prayer of- fered, and the books given to Chi- kosi. Then the tribes-people prepared for the installation ceremonies. The streets and villages were cleaned, the oxen were killed for the feast, and the women pounded all night so that there might be meal enough to feed all who came. The young men went to the new chief’s house to bring him in triumph to his Ombala, or coun- cil house. The bush car which had been Kanjundu's was used. Chikosi, wearing a new gray tweed suit, rus- set shoes, a gray felt hat, was seated in it. A crowd of people shouting, singing and playing on musical in- struments surrounded it. Children bearing bunches of wild flowers stood on each side of the trail, and relays of youths ran in front of the car to clear the way for the chief. From the Ombala and the chief’s house the procession went on to the church, where a religious service was held—the first Christian installation of a chief ever known in Angola. Chief Chikosi is said to be a fine looking man, about forty ‘years old, a good speaker and evangelist, and has been a deacon in the mission church for a number of years. The Painter.

The Cleveland police have just had Young Girls. becasion to take charge of a young “Volume 1 is the diary of Captain woman described as a Scott; volume 2, the reports of theind social worker” under- ige is given taken by Dr. Wilson and the surviv-sxplained that she was brought The his city and deserted. “society girl of Chicago. Her as seventeen and it is to Perhaps not all women who come official attention and call them- lves soclal workers are entitled to at designation, In some cases’® the im may.be nothing more than pre- inse, adopted for purposes of plausi- flity or sympathy. It is also quite ‘ue, of course, that many women agage in mission, settlement or ther activities of the sort with the bnest purpose of gaining a liveli- j0d or doing good and with char- tter or discretion enough to preserve item from misfortune or notoriety. But whether the Chicago girl hose disappearance alarmed her re- Eives is a bona fide social worker or at, it is also true that a special haz- 4 seems to threaten and frequent- 1 overtake women of that occupa~ tn. The. victim of a sensational wrder in New York’s Chinese quar- tf, a crime that shocked the coun- tr a few years ago, was a social wrker, though only of school age. Istances of the evil consequences ,tat soclal work may bring upon the wrker are not wholly absent from Gveland’s police history. The vie- ths were not always silly young glls, either. - [t soctal work must be doné by wmen {t.should be possible to do it whout sending seventeen-years-old gils into a city’s slums. Safety if not eiciency requires that such effort be cafine® to persons old enough to kpw its risks, who are at least safe frm the perils of ignorance. If chil- dmn ambitious to engage in that sort ofuplift lack parents or other rela- ties to restrain them, it would seem tht their safety might be a matter ofconcern to ‘their elders in the wek. Tying Up a City. (Springfield Republican.) ‘he extent to which the telephone enbrs inte and well-nigh dominates thq activities of a city has been dis- tresingly shown in Worcester, where fir¢ put the telephone service out of coymission. This overwhelming of made it necessary that 0 connections should be re-es- ed, and that as quickly as It was a gigantic task. the while by the .telephone corpany and its patrons.

The telephone com- par’ quickly brought all the extra hel) that could be commanded, and thelarge number of men so gathered fron all over the east have been woking day and night.

Wten the high cost.of living is un- der debate it will be well to remem- ber that it is in part the cost of good living The people, or public officials on tieir behalf, are insisting on high food standards and naturally h!:hcr priced are the result. A jeport of the health department of thi city published yesterday shows that 13,000,000 pounds of unwhole- some food was confiscated and de- stroyel during 1913, No one will dispufe the propriety of the health officers’ action. Bad food owght not to be pold in New York. But it may as wdl be understood that the peo- ple pud for these 13,000,000 pounds just the same.

The police have resumed the en- forcement of the hatpin law with vig- or and a number of ladies were given pointed reminders that such a law is in the statute ‘books and that police have no alternative but to enforce it. The regulation with respect to hatpins providés that the sharp point of the pin must not protrude beyond the hat without being protected, While the enforcement of the law is not a pleasant duty for the police and inevitably leads to many disagree- able ‘and ludicrous incidents, it is the law, and the sooner the ladies make up their minds to that effect the quick- er will they be relieved from humilia- tion of being stopped on the street by the police or being summoned before the recorders’ courts. That long and sharp hatpins now so commonly used by women are danger- aus is freely admitted.
