Chlsf Murnh In his order has ttorwe
beyond the pledge he made to Mary Doran.
He hft made tt pewitbl fer tver rather to

Mary Doran applied to the chief, tha
fountain head of deportment! power to
htr youthful mind, nnd obtained what she
asked tor, and more.
An extra, allowance or Hod hours, or
two hours enoh to 1050 men. Is th answer.
Twice the premised total Is granted to tho

It Is believed by the Champion of th Fir
Uureau thst pressure of public opinion
thus expressed would prove Irrrststlbls.
Tho text of Chief Murphy's order, whleti
wss rend at rollcall In every fire station ta
the city, follows-
To the otrteera t desire that you

Thla Is something thnt I feel tha

we went In n position that even a,
longer time could bo granted them.
I trust thnt this time will bo us4

Extending to each nnd every mem

Chief Murphy' order expresses Iho llratt
of his powors to allow the man ot his
bureau an opportunity to enjoy Christmas
Day. Conditions tn the department make
tt Impossible to risk letting more than th
regular dally quota of two men to a com
pany take tho day oft. lira np par at us
must he manned ht all times, and even
lbs favor of sn added hour for the Christ
man dinner involves a rlak on the part of
Chief Murphy that a moan-spirited person
might criticise. Rut tho chief. In the klndll
ntss of his heart, has yielded tn the plead
ing of Msry Damn and Is' willing to ven
turo the possibility of "helps; caught short-
handed" rather than refuse Iho plea ot nn
eight-year-old daughter of u fireman to "let
us have pnps home with us when Christ
mas comes."
In other American cities the number
la rapidly Increasing tha firemen have at
least twelre hours oft duty on Christmas

granted to the Inmnies of Its prison. Th
latter nro permitted on Christmas to enjoy
a. complete mas-ulan from their dally tasks,
In nrtdltlon to a Christmas feast
What tho city of Philadelphia permits
Ita firemen to look forward ta as their
Christmas portion may bo gleaned from
thn record of December 35 last That day
was but one hour and twenty-three minutes
old when n. "local" alarm called an engine
company to 251! North Fifth Street, where
n csrejess smoker was responalbls for n
hlato that wns checked nttor doing 1S
damage
Mary Doran's father and his mates on
Engine No. 13 wero called out at 3:03
n. m. 'lo 13S North Eleventh street to ex
tinguish a trifling blaxe due to a neglected
cigar stump They hsd scarcely time to
return to Ihelr station when they were
summoned to n much more serious fir
In tho buildings located In the rear of
51 nnd 84 NoVth Sixth street. This confla.
grstlon, discovered nt 4:31 a. m.. In the
brasler factory of Green 'rothers & Smith,
provod to be extensive, damaging that
property and partially destroying adjacent
buildings along mxtn nnn Arcn streets.
Four alarms were sounded for this fire,
which burned for tho greater part ot th
day and called Into active service the mem
bers or eighteen engine and five truolt
companies, besides Involving the "moving
up" ut it dozen other companlo to vacated
stations during lis progress.
A seoond fire in ths 'Manger sone," at il
North Third atreet. brought out four of
this "fllllng-ln" detail and necessitated a.
seoond "covjrlng up."
WHOhU DEPARTMENT AFFECTKD
Uurnlng simultaneously and Involving
such A largo depleting of stations, almost
every man In th lluraau of Fire was de
prived ot hla anticipated Christmas dinner
at home Alt told. December 15 of last
year saw p. total of twenty-one alarms
from different loeaUtles, of which eighteen
were for actual fires and three proved to
he raise, but called th firemen from their
stations, nevertheless. Might of the sum
monsta were ot ths 'silent" or "looxl"
order and entailed respons of but one or
two companies each, but every alarm con
tributed Us part to demonstrate that Christ
mas In ths Uureau ot Fire Is 'anything but
a holiday.
