THE LOCAL FIELD.
The End
Yes, I would like to be president,
Hut not of this glorious nation;
I'd like to be the president
Of u labor federation.
I'd labor most assiduously
With men and women alike.
And get them nil to join, then call
A general strike.
And business and tracje and labor
Of every kind would stop;
And there'd be no money to work for,
And no one would ever talk shop.
Hut we'd all sit around and do nothing,
And in peace and amity dwell:
And, then, oh. perhaps, into savagery
lapse I ? Well?

Fire was discovered last Friday ;
morning, in the building next to the
Odd Follows Hall, occupied by a hand
laundry. A defective stove pipe, run- j
ning through an attic caused all the ;
trouble. The fire boys soon made a
dead one of it, and tho entire damage
was confined to the property. This
same building has caught fire in the
same way so many times that a remedy
seems imperative.
For the bride, sweetheart or relative.

Last Weduesday evening, about 5
o'clock, an alarm of fire was turned in
from St. Ann avenue. When the sharp
tones of the fire bell brought the peo
ple to the streets, a sheet of flame was
seen shooting up into the sky near the
"Finn" boarding house, that appeared
to come from a big fire. Two com- ?
panies of firemen and three or four
hundred common people were soon on
the ground. The gate valve at the 300
was opened, permitting the water from
the Tread well water system to flow in
to tho 5 iuch pipe that 'runs along the
avenue. Two streams of water under
heavy pressure soon reduced the flre, i
which was all in a one-story frame
building occupied by a number of
Slavonians. The main part of tho
building was badly charred, and the
contents destroyed, but adjoining
buildings and even a part of the one on
fire were not injured, so we may con
sider that our firemen did good work,
The faot that there was no wind helped
materially.

Postmaster Hubbard had a birthday
last Thursday, and rather expected
that something would happen, but it
didn't. However, when he went home
on Friday evening he was surprised to
find that a number of his friends had
taken possession and were having a
good time. Of course Mrs. Hubbard
was in the secret, and she provided a
splendid lunch, which was served after
several hours had passed at cards. Those
present as guests were: Dr. P. L. God
dard, Wm. Stubbins, James Daniels,
J. P. McDonald, John Henson and
Chas. A. Hopp.
