‘SATURDAYyAPRIL 25, 1891.
[Entered at the Post Office as a Newspapenl
“Darkest Africa.”
We have had placed in our’ hands a
paper published at Kimberly, the. seat
of the Diamond Fields at the Cape of
Good Hope, of the date of March 16th.
in which it is shown that our live Yan-
kee friend L. J. Seymour, (well known
hereabouts as the brother of Senator
John S. Seymour) is enabled to infuse
a good deal of Americanisminto the so-
cial life and customs of that remote
point of the Eastern hemisphere. The
article will prove of sufficient interest
in its novel descriptions to warrant our
copying it entire: ‘
A iIASHONALAND SMOKING CONCERT.
. Probably the most successful smok-
ing concert yet held at the Kenilworth
Club, was that given on Saturday eve-
ning last in‘honor of the employees of
the Consolidated Mines, Ltd., who are
proceeding ona prospecting expedition
to Mashonaland. N otWIthstanding the
inclement nature of the weather, the
speCial steam tram from De Beers Ter-
race at 7.15 p. m. was well .patronized.
Several persons dreading the weather
drove out incabs. The road from the
present ‘ train terminus to the Club
(about five minutes’ walk) was lit‘ up
With lanterns suspended on bushes on
each Side. The large dining hall of the
Club was decorated with a profusion of
young trees and plants from the Com- _
pany’s nursery: Close by a stage 'was
erectednon which was placed the grand
piano of the RecreationClub, and quite
a little forest of choice plants --and
young trees. On the wallswere' to be
seen large scrolls bearing the words—
“Will ye no’ come back again?” and
“God speed our friends.” L. J. Sey-
mour, Esq. ,ChieflEngineer of the Con-
solidated Mines,‘pres1ded, and among
those present were the following well-
known offiCifi-lsof the Company: Messrs.
It. . Archibald, F. Fenner, .Waldeck,
nopley, ~ McAdam, and Gordon. Mr.
:Seymour, in opening the concert, made
garden encolalraginor remarks to the men
,gomg northhandfiiriefiy touched on the
current/topic of “monopoly.” He
Apomted'oul that although he could not
.comine’nd It" as an. all-round principle,
,yetffrom instances he quoted in the
Umted States, monopoly proveda bless-
§Dg both to employees and the public at
arge.
"The Pirates’ Band, under the leader-
ship of Mr. W. W. Cooper, who will
seen, it Isexpected, be a resident of the
”Leafy Village,” then played the over:
ture, "Giovanna D’Arc” in splendid
style. Mr. Robert --rchibald, the gen:
ialfioor manager, addressing the men
gomg up—country, said he was aware
that a certain amount of dissatisfaction
was caused through the termsof agree-
ment given by the Chartered Compa-
ny, whereby men were only to receive
nine months’ prov1sions, but he assured
them that if they acquitted themselves
With the same intelligence and good be-
haviour as many of their numbers did
while servmg under him, there was not
the shadow, of a doubt but the Compa-
ny would stick by them to the end.
Ten-thirty, the time advertised for
the train to leave for Kimberly, found
the audiencein a full tide of enthusi-
asm, and it was only at 11.15 when the
Band struck up “Should auld acquaint-
ance be forgot,” that. those present
were reminded that the end was reach:
ed. The v1s1tors will probably never
forget the vehement enthusiasm with
which the health of the sturdy men go-
ing north was drunk; cheer after cheer
was given for them, until one could al-
most feel the hall was trembling with
the reverberation, the Band which ac-
companied being entirely inaudible.
MT. Seymour, who makes a model
chairman, and who seems quite a favor-
ite with the men, came in for quite an
ovation on his health being proposed,
and the concert broke up after singing“
“v‘rod save the Queen.”
The Fireman’s Needs Should be
:Granted.
In compliance with a vote passed by
the Court of Burgesses, Monday eve-
ning, a call for a borough meeting was
published in the DAILY GAZETTE, yes-
terday. It calls for the appropriation
of money sufficient to buy 3,000 feet of
hose, to build a tower in which to dry
the same and the purchase of a new fire
alarm bell not to weigh less than 2,000
pounds, with harness and two lamps for
the new supply wagon, which is to be
delivered about May 1st._ The pur-
chase of all these things for the fire de-
partment was urged by the Board of
Engineers and the foremen of the dif-
ferent fire companies, and was urged
by them upon the attention of the
Court of Burgesses as being absolutely
necessary for the. safety of property
and the extinguishing of fire, and hence
the call for the borough meeting next
Tuesday.
To many of our citizens this may
seem to be a call for an extravagant
outlay of public money, but a little ex-
amination and consideration will prove
that it is not. In regard to equipment,
the fire department is completely run
down, while as far as the firemen them-
selves are concerned, thedepartment '
was never better off for workers. If
such had not been the case, such good
results in :the extinguishing of fires
lately, could not have been achievedl
There are only 500 feet of hose in the
borough at the present time which can
be relied upon, and when it is consid-
ered that the hydrants are 500 feet
apart, itcan be easily ascertained what
the results would be- if a large fire
should break out. The reason for the
purchase of 3,000 feet . of hose is. that
there may besufiicient to replace the
wet hose on returning from a » fire‘with
dry hose.
comesa necessity. The tower is for
drying the hose, and for storing it. It
is almost as necessary to have the tow-

'bottl
This is where the tower 'be-i O’RGANIZERS for
W EEKL Y :4 :1Nonth L K. ,- .e A ZELT T E _.
allowed to remainzon the “jumper,” or
hose carriage, in a wet condition, it
soon rots out, and becomes weak, and
when subject towater pressure at a fire
as a-cOnsequence easily bursts. So it
will be seen from the foregoing that a
tower is an absolute necessity.
In regard to the purchase of a new
fire alarm bell it would seem to be also
necessary. The present 'bell is upon
the Town House. on'the east side and
close by the river. ‘ It is well-known
that unless the conditions are very fa-
vorable the bell cannot ,‘be heard
in the night by the firemen,” the great
majority of whom live on the, west side
Of the river. The reason for this is as-
cribed to the fact that sound invariably
follows water, and that the alarm can
in three cases out of four ' be heard
more plainly on the South Norwalk
drawbridge than on the west side of the
borough. Another reason for the pur-
chase of a new bell-is that the 'borough
has out-grown the present bell and that
the volume of sound from the present
small bell is not sufficient, and for that
purchased. The hose tower could be
'built on the hill in the rear of Phoenix
Engine Company’s house, as the few
feet of land necessary could be cheaply
bought. The hose tower (as a length
of hose is 50 feet) would be at? least 60
or 65 feet high, and with the bell there-
on would be 75 or 85 feet, which would
be high enoughgato allow the sound to
be heard ingal-I parts of the borough.
p The necessity of lamps and harness
’is so apparent that discussion is unnec-
'essary, as the supply wagon would be
useless without them.
Our borough has as good a working
fire department as. can be found any-
where, and unpaid at that, and the
least that our citizens can do is to stand
by the firemen and give them all nec-
essary material with which to work.
They are a bulwark against the “red-
tongued” destroyer Of our property,
and homes, and, in many instances, of
lives; and good equipment is necessary
for protection. The things asked for
in the “call” for the borough meeting
should not only be granted but pro-
cured without delay.

is Often an advantage to have
’ one’s shopping condensed, as
it may be done in‘ either of
our three places; especially
when only good things are
dealt in. , .
The character Of our Clo-
thing has been raised steadily
year by year, until now our
new trade in Men's Clothing
comes chiefly from the former
wearers of custom garments.
Of course our prices have
to be below custom rates; but
we do not skimp our Cloth or
tailoring to produce-a very low
price or permit a large profit.
$20 to $30 buys a thoroughly
satisfactory Overcoat or Suit,
and in the Spring we sell many
excellent ones for $15 to $20.
It goes without saying that,
with our large outlet and

mit ourselves to be surpassed
