Given said that his first recol lection wan when fire-buckets were used, and fortv years or more ago he was enthused by an alarm'of fire.

To the Editor of The Evkxiko Stab: Your report of the proceedings of the Wash ington National Monument society in yester- | day's Star was nearly right. As correctly stated. I had made up the record of the pre vious meeting, with the understanding that no authority was given at that meeting to contract for a tablet of any kind, and I also said I be lieved I was not alone in that understanding. Several members present at the previous meet ing were unfortunately absent yesterday. The tablet which the committee are now author ized to procure, should they be unable to ef fect a change ill design and cost, would bo fi,1^ by 5 feet in size, at *1.400. I have objected first and last, as some other members have lik" wise done, to a tablet of so large dimensions, as well as to the price asked for it, aud to the names being in raised letters for the con venience of relic-collectors. It should have been stated that before the vote of yesterday was taken I tried to secure consideration of Mr. Sheehan's proposition at &500 for a bronze tub let of smaller dimension, with sunken letters nuaineled in black, but I was ruled out of order. His offer, with a full-size handsome design, was read for presentation. Horatio Kino. Washington. Feb. 23, 1889. Prepare For Spring.
