A ligh d cigarette thrown into linen waste caused the fire, aceording to former Fire Chief Croker. A cigarette smouldering in a pile of shavings caused the Polo Grounds fire, according to several Giant ball players. A Tammany cigar flung into a waste paper basket caused the Capitol fire, according to com- mon belief. Defective insulation, defective flues and “spontancous Yombus- tion” are the fire causes one hears moet about in thie country. Our electrical wiring is better than Europe’s. Our heating appliances better. Combustion is no more spontaneous here than there and fire- proofing is much more general. Yet Europe pays no such toll in conflagration. ‘The fact is that most American fires are due to cigars and cigarettes, and to the matches which the emoker is constantly lighting. | Our appalling fire loss, $4,906,619,240 tn thirty-five years ending in 1910, ie testimony to the national carelessness that declares itself in the use of non-sefety matches and the indiscreet burning of tobacco. ———_—_<+4¢2—_-_ — WHERE BOREAS PIPES THE TUNE. NOW and ice are impediments in the city, and winter a thing S to be fortified against rather than availed of. Winter amuec- ments, metropolitan variety, signify the theatre, the restau- rant, the bowling alley—indoor life of some kind. Outside the city, winter is a word written in the rude free hand of open-air life. Its sports aro reminders of the day, not eo distant, when the commerco of this State moved in January rather than June, and the hauling of heavy material for tho Erie Canal was upon dirt highways frozen solid and snow-amoothed. Between tho lines of newspaper reports you may read the etory of this other life in the metropolitan back country. There were six serious accidents from coasting noted in yesterday's Evening World. The missing duck hunters on Great South Bay tell of « sport which attracts venturesome spirits, This week the annual fceboat races were held on Shrewsbury River, Beside the south shore of Long Island that amphibious oraft, the scooter, figures in daily contests. The hilly north shore of Long Ieland is the home of communal coast- ing, Huntington and Oyster Bay competing in an old-time rivalry.

ESSELS in the coasting trade starting from this port and passing out of Long Island Sound on their way to Newport. Fall River, New Bedford and New England ocean ports pass Point Judith, This point, thirty miles east of New London and eighteen miles southwest of Newport harbor, has been called the graveyard of the coasting trade, Head winds and heavy soas provail there, and do their worst upon tugs and barges.’ In season ten thousand passengers a night are carried past this tempestuous head- land, and tho freight that must round it in boate has an estimated valuo of over 200,000,000 a year. The opening of the Cape Cod Canal will awell these figures, That is the argument fer the Point Judith Harbor of Refuge, @o-cailed—so called because in ite present unfinished state the pame faa misnomer, About five hundred vessels find asylum there during the year, even as it ie, But it needs that the harbor have ite west- erly breakwater completed to prevent shoaling, that it be properly th structed for passengers, crews and cargoes of vessels in distress. It {9 of importance to this port, whose great coasting and towing interests have petitioned Oongress through the Board of Trade to complete the harbor, that the work should be carried out promptly and not abandoned or postponed, as so many other usefa) harbor enterprises have been, hecanse the money had to be sunk in interior oreoka that never flonted #0 much as a canal boat.

Its ranks thinned by death and desertion until it was but @ skeleton of its fo self. Not only was it unable to defend Petersburg any longer but it not even protect Richmond. And on April 2, 1865, Lee hastily retreated from his defenses. He had sent word to Jefferson Davis that Richmond mast! abandoned. The Confederate President and his Cabinet fled from the and so did such Southern troops as were quartered there. Confederate soldiers left they set fire to warehouses and other Lee retreated, hoping to join his army to Johnston's. But the U! treops: followed him too closely. Grant did not turn aside to enter Richmond in person after his long months of effort to capture it, but sent a force to occupy the capital and pressed on close at Lee's heels He came surrendered to him. The civil war was practically over. For, a ¢ew Gage inten, Johnston surrendered to Sherman.
