The corporation does not accept liability, elaiming that the box was placed too close to the curb and that g driver in the exer- cise of great care would be liable to break it Chief Noble presented his report for the past month, showing 23 fires, eight of which were bell alarms and | 15 still alarms. The losses to build- | 55 and to contents of buildings $13,144, making a total loss of $20,990, all of which was covered by insurance. The amount of prop- erty at risk during the fires was $282 400, of which $154,700 was regresent- ed in buildings and $127,700 in con- tents. Supt, George Cooley of the electri- cal department told the commission that the materials for the Park street subway have arrived in the city and he is prepared to proceed with the work as soon as weather conditions will permit. Vehicles Must Halt at Alarm, Commissioner Gans brought to the attention of the board the rapidly in- creasing number of violations of the city ordinance prohibiting vehicles from continuing in motion while fire apgaratus is on the street to a fire. The commissioner said he witnessed a close escape during the week that had been dué to such a violation. Chief Noble stated that the depart- ment has had many like experiences of late. There seems to be a dispo- sition on the part of some autoists to race the fire apparatus, while in gen- eral there is a disregard for the or- dinance. He has instructed all the men in the department to be on the lookout for future violators and take | their registration number for prose- | cution. Chairman Keevers suggested that a | rigid enforcement of the city ordin- ance be tried to break up the prac- tice. At his suggestion, violators in the future will be summoned into po- lice court. Bills for the month were approved and a report of Deputy Chief Barnes for the fire prevention bureau was read and accepted by the board.

(By Associated Fress)-—Miss Mary MacSwiney, has been released by Free State authori- ties and was back today in republican headquarters, where she received the newspapermen and described her ar- rest on Monday when the republican offices were raided.

At night she was taken to Kilmainham Jjail and lodged in a cell at 11 o'clock, but was released with her companions at midnight. Miss MacSwiney declared there was no possibility of negotiating peace be- tween the Irregulars and the Free State unless what Kevin O'Higgins, minister of home affairs, called the essential provisions of the treaty, were removed.

The ancient writer d, “I'he heavens declare the God.! How much more devoutly cal we say so for we have learned t measure the depth of knowledge con- cerning them, and know how wonder- ful they are. “In looking back at Lincoln let us consider first the difficulties which confronted him at the beginning his administration One, an empty treasury, with which to carry on an expensive war; two, an experienced political party. (It is easy to criticize the work of another but to suddenly find one self in a position to do the work and to do it is another matter.) | Three, a distrustful cabinet; four, a public opinion in Europe unfriendly to/ the North, banker aristocrats and| cotton manufacturers leading; five, a large group of despondent northerners who were sick and tired of the wrangle and willing to let the states secede; six, a powerful and resolute section of the Union in a state of| armed rebellion to that Union which he had sworn to maintain. “To these difficulties he brought a greatness of cha cter which we may set forth in the following element: “One, the combnation of lofty ideals with a well-seasoned sagacity of di- plomacy. He was greater than mere getters forth of new theories in that| he built his idealism fnto concrete| fact to meet the the hurrled and in- sistent demand of emergency. “Two, an ability to comprehend men of extreme views. He knew and held to the only principle on which they could be united, namely, to ‘Savs the Union.’ So well did he mold them that when Robert C. Brecken- ridge was selected chairman of the republican convention or 1864, he de- clared that he would serve them only as the Union par Linecoln's sagac- ity was like an X-ray searching un. der the follies and the flesh to the very backbone of the events in which he lived. “Three, his ability to hold himself very closely to the hearts of the people and yet guide them on that way in which he would have them go. He did not bully, he reasoned and to this reasoning he applied three quall- ties, integrity, common sense and straightforwardness, and a sense of humor. He showed these markedly in the Donglass debates, in his deal- ing with McClellan” over his delayed action and with his cabinet. “Four, his political unselfishness and moral integrity. His thought was ever not that he might save the Union but that the Union might be saved. Yet he lived in a time of great self-seeking. He thought of himself as the ‘Servant in the house. He lived and died to serve. “He suffers not one whit by com- n with others who are great. His life was high and unsullied. He wove into the common life of his time his own lofty idealism and mnde of it an accomplished fact No section or | class or faction can claim him, he | belongs to humanity. Queen Vietoria laid aside ecourt formalities at his death to write toghis widow a mes- [sage of sympathy from a widow. When he entered Richmond the col- ored people bowed before him. Near Springfield, 111, the country folk saie the brown thrushes did not sing for a year after he died. It is no accident that between the greatest man of the 19th century and the greatest Man of all time there are such marked paral- lels. Both ware of humble origin, both used story and parable, In neither was form or comeliness that we should desire him, and on both sat the shadow of sadness and grief. On Good Friday Abraham Lincoln died.” DENTES SHE IS WED.
