Sood PARCELS POST FIGHT. PWARD of one hundred cities and towns are expected to have delegates at Washington to- morrow to appear before the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads to urge the passage of the Parcels Post bill of Congressman Sulzer. The big express companies will not have any ostensible delegates there, but they will have en influence, just the same. The success achieved by the postal savings banks hae given o renewed popular interest to thie long-deaired reform. The old ar- gament thet America is different from other lands, and that our postal department cannot possibly do whet is done by other postal 18,193. of earnest men in times past, hes now become insistent on the part of the people generally. It appears, thercfore, as if the end were near and the victory in sight. Still, the express companies are not dead. Arguments for the reform are stronger than ever, but the four grest arguments against it are not less forceful than of old. It is a good fight yet, one in which it behooves the business men of New York to get together and should be strong and forceful. OO TOO MUCH FELLOWSHIP. R. JOWETT, of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, in reviewing his impressions of New York, esid on Sunday: “Go forth in this great kaleidoscopic city and look into the faces you see in the street, Every other man eppears to be carrying burdens beyond ‘his strength. I will tell you what is wrong. We ere reducing life to in- dividualism, instead of making it what it was intended to be—e fel- lowship with Christ.” This is the view of an earnest student of humanity, but who has had only a brief experience in New York. It is clearly a euper- ficial judgment. It is doubtfal if there is any other city in the world where ¢o large a proportion of the people are associated in one form of fellowship or another as in this city. A list of churches, with charitable, fraternal, social, political and industrial organiza- tions, would make a big pamphlet. In addition, every new idea calls into existence a now fellowship of some kind. If we wish to pave a strect, reform the police, get a parcels post, have a picnic, or im- prove China, wo at once organize an association, Every other man that Dr. Jowett secs is carrying the burden of more societies and elubs than he er= «tor ‘That is what’s the matter with the kaleido- scopic city.

But that of being “‘legitimate’—ah, that, as Kipling saye, ‘Is another story.” At least, there 1s one REASONABLE rule proved: that while the nurse, or the office girl, or the shop girl just “loves to hear his dear voice" over the telephone, and ét may bring the emile of JOY am she praceeds with her work—while there may we times when she may not infringe on anybody's rights in euch @ oase—yet tf she comes {noculated with telephonttis to the EXCLUSION of all else, then she must be nursed away from it and cured.

BUT GHEAP ities went to make up a good fire- man. It doem't take long to tell. A good fireman must be Intelligent, must be strong, and above all he must know how to obey omiers with- out asking why. I can recall many fires where dis- Obedience of orders would have meant death, One in- stance was the duruing of the big Dark Criffel at Pi 12, Bast River. It was on the night of Oct. & 1901. The Criffel hed in her hold 280 cases of gunpowder, together with eeveral hundred barrele of crude ol! and @asoline. On deok she also had a lot of gasoline. My men, without asking why, went aboard that burning craft and dragged out the powder and explosives. Then they filled her up with water and sunk her, These men obeyed oniers without asking questions. Had they faitered, had they stopped to ask why, and let tho fire get into the for'ard end of the ship, they would all have been blown to smith- ereen| ‘What damage might have resulted to shipping as @ result, Heaven only knows. That was a busy little fire. It was a great test of a fireman's nerve. I remember the captain of the Criffel was @ man named Billett—Arohie Billett —and he and his wife were in the cabin entertaining some friends when the fire out. Billett had @ couple of boys, I remember. The ship was cleared to eall for New Zealand the next morning. The crew had not come aboard. Billett emetied the smoke and rang the ship's bell. Then he got rid of his call- ers and ¢ook his wife and two children to an edjoining pier, where they stood and watched the fire. The akipper told me whet was in the bold of the boat. He was for sinking the Doat right ewey, but I felt sure that the fire was getting too close to the powder, and ordered the firemen in- ‘to the hold to get the evuf overboard, or at least euch of it es was in close proximity to the fire, which was about amidships. Not @ man finched. Not one asked a question, but they followed their leader into the boat's hold. And @ moment later up came the boxes of powder end ammunition by the score, They were Gumped overboard. Dt was like the fa- mous Boston tea party, but ten times more hazardous.

I remember there was a wrecking tug thet -ame up and got in our way. I think {t was the freboat Van Wyek ‘that pushed her away. Then the Van Wyck and the New Yorker came up alongside, and not many minutes later the deck of the burning bark was @wash. She hed a steel hull end wes mined later. Tt was all over in about an hour, but tt showed up one of the many sides of the New York firemen and proved once more the value of the fire fighter who does not stop to ask questions. This fire came from spontaneous com- bustion and I shudder to think of what would probably have happened had she been a week cut at sea when the fire broke out. Men at work on a big fire sometimes become so engaged in their task that they do not heed their danger. They sometimes cling to a position until the order for them to retire must be ac- companied by a threat. Firemen h lost their lives becouse they were dis- obeying orders. And another interesting thing that I might mention here is the manners of the average fireman when he In sieking his life to save another. He frequently uses very profane lan- guage in giving his orders to the per- son he {s rescuing. I recall once that @ complaint was sent mo by @ man whose wife had been saved from @ per- Hous position at a fire. She would certainly have jumped to her death had not a fireman reached her with a scaling ladder, When he got within speaking distance of her he told her in very plain language to keep still. When he got hold of her she started to @rab him with @ suffocating greep and he said something more, not in elegant English, but it was forceful and she did he was told. He saved her life and then she complained to her husband that the fireman hed not beem polite. I never spoke to the fireman about ft, but I did answer che husband's letter and I won't tell the Evening World readers what I told him.
