Acting on the recommendatioR? of Fire Chief Armstrong, the Fire and Light committee, at its inaugural meeting on Tuesday afternoon, decid- ed to ask the City Council to appoint four additional men on the fire de- partment. Ald. Nickle moved the re- solution, which was carried on the casting vote of the chairman, Ald. Sutherland. Chief Armstrong is asking for- the extra men, so that he can give the business section of the city the pro- tection it should receive. He made the same recommendation to last 1G, WEDNESDAY duit work has been done, it is ne cessary to remove t box now at the north-west co ey of Brock and Wellington streets to 'the south-west corner of Clarence and Wellington streets. He, therefore, recommended that two alarm boxes be purchased and" placed at south-east ' corner of Princess and Wellington streets and north-east corner of Brock and King streets. Cost of boxes and installa- tion $150. The committee passed the recommendation of the chief, Regarding the R. M. C. Regarding the communication from Col. Carleton, Commandant of the Royal Military College the chief recommended in view of the prop- erty involved, that the bydaw re. apparatus being taken beyond the city limits be ammended so that the chief or other officer in charge of the fire department shall be permitted to use his own judgment in immediate ly answering a cail, for assistance from the military college, but that the steamer (owing to its weight) shall not 'be taken across the present bridge unless the government shall first secure the city against any possible loss thereby.

Those present at the meeting were Alds. Sutherland (chairman), Clugs- ton, Nickle, Gillespie and Stroud, The chairman, Ald. Nickie and Ald] Gil- lespie voted in favor of the increase to the fire department staff, while Ald, Stroud and Ald. Clugston opposed it. Ald. Stroud was strongly opposed to any increase, stating that four men would not help the department to any great extent. Ile had oppos- ed such a proposition last *year, and would continue to do se. Ald. Clugston complained about the underwriters asking for more men all the time, and at the same time raise ing the rates instead of making a re- duction. THE chairman said that proper fire protection was essential, and that he felt the department should have the extra men. Chief Armstrong sai that under present circumstances the business sec- tion was without the protection it should receive, and in case of a very serious fire, - the city would be up against it very hard. "We are just living in a fool's paradise as it is now," he declared. Ald. Nickle and Ald. Gillespie both felt the need of more men as a Safe- guard, -- Would Cost $2,100 The four extra men will entail expenditure {8 the year of £2,400. In opening the meeting Chairman Sutherland said that he was much pleased to haye several members of last year's-eorhmittee with him and lie was also impressed with the per- sonnel of the new appointments. He felt sure that with the co-operation of his colleagues the committee would be able to accomplish a great/ deal, and he understood that the commiit- tee would have considerable to do during the vear. He would give all the attention Re could to "the work, and felt sure that he cquld depend on all the members for their sup. port. After delivering his short and time- ly inaugural the chairman opened a box of choice .cigars and passed them around the board. remarking, with a smile, "I will not open the meeting with prayer but with a box of cigars." The fire chief reported that a fire alarm box for the corner of Ontario and William sireets had arrived and was ready to be placed. It was decided to call for tenders for a supply of zines, bluestone, uni- form clothing and cape. The chief reported that owing to having to reconstruct the fire alarm lines, where the underground econ- Child Had "Bronchitis Onee people get acquainted with the wonderful contfol which Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Tur- pentine exerts over bronchitis, whooping cough, croup and colds it is not easy to persuade them that anything else is 'just as good." This is why the imitators never get very far. In 1902 Mrs. Eugene ler, King street, Truro, N.3., wrote as follows: © "From an infant one of my child- ren was troubled with bronchitis an.d the least cold would aggravate the trouble. We could not get anything fo help him, and were often great- ly alarmed. Hearing of Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine .as a treatment for bronchitis, we used it and are glad to state that It ef. fected a complete cure. If any of the children take a cold or cough I give this medicine, and have never known it to fail to bring relief." Mrs: Iler now writes that she has since proven this medicine to be a 1 ) cough, and or be Without tn th oaad i | mayérsand chairman, not being available, there is no authority for to send assistance, no matter - how urgent the call may be. a The chairman stated that he visited the Royal Military College, on Tuesday, and had an interview with Col. Carletog, relative to -the matter, He also ¥éad a letter he had receiv from Col. Carleton in which the letter stated that the gov ernment would guarantee. to make good any damage which might be made to the equipment of the fire department, in answering any calls to the college. It was decided that the matter over until the next meeting, so that the chairman would j pave an opportunity of going into the question farther with Col. Car- leton and Dr. J. W. Edwards, M.P., for Frontenac county. Hitherto the purchasing power of the committee has been limited to j supplies to the value of $20, and this | was raised to £50. an ferred about" Now that Wold] ve. seconds. No loss The 'marked in- crease in the cost of feed for horses is responsible for this change, A short time ago the Board of Education asked that a fire alarm box be placed near Victoria school. The committee will comply with the request. The chief will place the box at the corner of Union and Frontenac streets. The much-discussed question of use of the fire-department's hose the Board of Works, for flushing out sewers, was © again under considefa- tion. The BSard of Works has - for some time borrowed hose from the fire department for this"work, but has net been called upon to pay for it. The committee contends that the Board of Works should have hose of its own, or make some remuneration for the use of the bode." The chair: man promised to take up the mat ter with a view of having a satisfac fory settlement made. " The chiti re ported that three hundred feet of hose unfit for fire service had only been uded for flushing work by the Board of Works, and asked that it be transferred to thatidepartment and not charged against the equipment of the fire department. The committee = will, at the next megting, consider the recommendation of the five chief, for the extension of the fire limits. Some amendments have been made, and information will be secured regarding them.in the meantime. Some time ago the rights of the committee to deal with the placing oi the lights on the streets were trans to . the Utilities committee. the new ' commission has been formed. it is felt by the . mem- bers of the committee * that thev should be given the power to deal with this matter. The chairman will consult the city solicitor on the matter. The sem of $37 repairs to hose waggon No. The committee decided to hold the regular meetings on Tuesday instead of Monday.

In many cases some of the boss plumbers were called from their beds by people inquiring for a man to open up the water pipes, which had frozen up during the night. It was stated on Wediiesday morning that there¢ were 135 water services out of business. This certainly made some work for the plumbers. The telephones were: working overtime and everybod, wanted the plumber first.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE, William Faversham in "Julius Caes- . er" Thursday Night. : On the ocpasion of Mr. Faver- sham's triunfphant presentation of "Jalus Caesar," last year, the emin- ent actor-manager announced that it was his intention to devote himself in future to Shakespearian intenpre- tation, and promised that other even more sumptuous and epoch-making prcductions were td follow. How well this promise has been kept is to be gleaned from the . announce- ment of Mr. Faversham's spectacul- ar production of "Romeo and Juliet' and "Othello" with an allstar cast of most illustrious import. Associat- ed with Mr. Faversham in his latest achievemen's are Miss Cecilia Loftus, Miss Julie Opp, Miss Constance Col- lier, R. D. Maclean, Pedro De Ordoiva, an .a splendid company of more than one hundred. In re- sponse tO numerous requests © Mr. Faversftam is. alsn offering a num- ber of performances of "Julius Caes- ar," in addition to Othello" and "Romeo and Juliet."" Mr. Faversham will present "Julius Caesar," at the Grand on Thursday, Jan. 15th. "The Little Damozel." "The Little Damozel" opens as a somewhat sordid farce, breaks into real drama in the second act and ends with a real throb of human happiness. It is rather a' play to be proud of. Its treatment is so genu- ine a surprise to the audience, ite epigrams are so sparkling; and the story of the home life in the Cafe Angelique reaches at times almost: ¢lasgic fineness. It reminds one of no other play, and in spite of rgther cleverer bon-mots than one hears in actual life, there is a note of realism that occasionally suggests Ibsen and Hadpfmann. When Mamma Barth- oldy talks half cynically, half fondly of love in her guaint German way; when the. genial ex-rip,*Recklaw Poole says; 'I never see three men drinking champagne without won- dering who has been done," it cer- tainly is put right up to the stal' seat holder that he isn't listening to an ordinary play at all. Lawrence Brough and his English company have to receive many cor- dial congratulations for their work. As it is an Olga Esme play first and foremost, she should primarily be mentioned. And let it be said. thas e "Little Damozel" of hers is ex- cpedingly taking and altogether charming. She can rise to passion, too; and she ean melt to woman's prerogative in forgiveness. .
