STANTON, oct1ld FALSE FIRE ALARMS, ~ New Haven Trouble. ‘high old time with the new glass key protectors which New Haven has re- cently attached to.its fire alarm boxes. The new attachments have been in use but a week or two and already 30 false alarms rung in. From the Year One to within a few weeks, New Haven fire alarm box keys h. reposed behind the front doors of safe, sane and conservative burghers who dwelt near the boxes to which the keys belonged. From time to time certain parties with a lively blaze on their hands have found it hard to arouse the goodman of the house in those dim hours when man will sleep despite all. And so some fires have got a good start and some lives have from time to time been lost—and charged against the existing key syste: ¥ So now New Haven has followed the 3 of more progressive municipali- ties and put the keys in the box key- holes, covered by a little protecting box with a glass front. Ordinarily this attachment attracts no more at- tention than a hitching post, but the swains who wander o'er the pavements 6f New Haven when gas lamps glow cannot resist the novel temptation to jab a knuckle or a knife handle through the thin/glass, just to hear it tinkle. That only two out of thirty such experiments have resulted in actual false alarms ought to be sufficient to make the New Ha- ven fire selves rather than cuss the destroy- ing vandal: CHINESE SOUVENIR. Frank Speh’ Pruen!:d—with a Sword and Scabbard. Frank Speh of East Derby recentlv came into possession of a unique sou- venir of the orient when a captain of of the barges that carries coal to city presented him with a Chinese sword and scabbard. The scabbard and handle of the sword is made of bone, which is .profusely decorated with carvings, representing Orientals im dif- ferent dress. The scabbard is made of severa] pieces of shin bone, but all joints are well fitted and the carvings are extended across joints without the latter in the least marring the effect, they are so perfect. The trophy was secured in the orient several years ago i an encounter between some men and Americans of a sail- ing schooner.
