The Question of Fire Protection—THe City Finances—The Day at Manawa—General and Personal. o at the city churches was light yesterday. Most of the piously in- clined were at the Chautauqua grounds or restiag at home, Tho irregularity of services of late, the closing of some of the churches, the heated term and other causes furnished many an excuse for staying away, Those who gathered in the Congregational church yesterday morning heard un excel- lent sermon by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Crofts. His text was “Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him.” The theme of “‘Trust in God” led the speaker to draw a contrast be- tween Job and some of those who suffered so greatly atJohnstown. Itis stated that somo of those who lost proporty and friends Dy the flood, threw their bible away, declar- ing they had mo further use for it. The speaker did not + that such a terrible calamity should cause even reason to totter aud cause men to lose faith in God. While not blaming them, one could not but pity them. Faith in God was neyer taken away by Him. It was of our own losing. It was laments to seeone throw it away, just when it was most needed. One of the troubles was that our trust in God was ofton based on materiul things, instead of upon the invisible. We had trustin God as long we had prosperity, but when home, when dear ones were taken away, our trust went too. Truo fuith was the ‘‘sub- stance of tnings hoped for,” not uk present possession of them, It 'was the evi- dence of things not seen.” If a merchant should tell a cu , “Yes, I will trust you, but not out of my sight. 1t you pay for these goods right away, before you leave my presence, I will trust’you,” it would be poor sort of trust, Yot this ny trusted God. s thatwe did not see ys were 80 mysterious t we doubted, be- all.” The ‘And the the end.

At a meeting held Friday morning the chairman of the fire committed, the chief of the fire department and the chief engineer of the waterworks company decided that here- after full five pressure should be turned on atonce whenever an alarm of fire was re- ceived twithstanding this fact, no ofi- cial notice of tho fact has yet been given the parties at tho police station; whose duty it would be to make the change in case an alarm should be received. The mere fact that these gentlemen pussed a certain reso- lution will ve productive of little good unless they look to its enforcement. Another matter which was brobight to public notice at the rccent fire on Upper Broudway, ll-'lvl. s diate attention.

In the suburb: four-inch supply the hydrants and all a number of the outlying portions of the city, the water consumption is° very light, and there is nothiug o prevent the dcposit of xunndcnbh scdunent. This may result gging these time when such an obstruction would be at- tended with serious results, This matter was avtended for a while, but for sowe time vast no attention whatever has been paid to it. Ihe hydrants were opened periodically, and the water turned on, thus allowing full fo of the water to flush the mai washing out all of the sediment and leaving the mains clean and unobstructed. It is sug- gested that it would be wise to resume this practice, repeuting it at least once u month. There is no doubt but that the size of the mains in the suburbs is much it should be at present, but they we many instances before any of the factorics were built that now rely upon them for pro- tetion. These mains are of suflicient size to suply a single line of hose, but many build- ings have gone up 1 these localities which, should they get afire, would requive more than 8 sigle stream to insure their protec tion. This being the case additional mains on parallel strects scems to be the only solu- tion of the dificulty unless the present mains ave repleced with lareer pipe. The several disustrous fives have occurred recently clearly that there is o dificulty where &nd o remedy is ‘The city has a couple of "steamers standing idle, and a large number of citizens are urg- ing their return to active service.

One feature connected with the Cnautsu- qua that augurs well for the future of this grand enterpr s the desire of s0 many parties to offect leases of lots for & term of years that they muy orect cottages before another scason opens. The demand for such loases has been very active ever since the opening of the present session, but owing to the great amount of other business, the trus- tees were unable to give the matter proper attention, This has at last been decided and the terms for leases finally determined. ‘I'ne lots ure assessed at from §150 to $300 each, and the lessee is reguired to pay 10 per cent per aunum of this assessed valuation. The leases run from one to teu years, but at the end of the ten years another appraise- ment of the lots will be made, and the sume rate of interest must be paid as before. A vumber of lots have already been leased, many of them by outsiders, und it is ex- pected that many wore will be loased before the close of the present assembly. It is encouraging to know that several par- ties have announced their Intention of erect- ing cottages another year, while there are scores of families in the city which have made arrangements to secure tents and re- main upon the groucds during the entire ses- sion next season The majority of the people seem to be but Just waking up to the full meaniog of the en- terprise, and umow that they ful- ly understand it, express their appre- clation in the most extravagant terms. It is boped that the dificulty experienced that prove this year in securing money to push the im- provements .L% o grounds apd arrange for the excellent pYfogramme will not be met with hereafter, as the people have been able to see what the result js to be and can not fail to appreciate it. It will soon be time tg begin to arrange for noxt year, and another call for money will be made to secure a pro- gramme that will be even better than that of this season.
