BEFORE BREAKFAST. ) Tho methods used by the street clean Ing band do not suit tho average wo man. Yesterday a well-known resident of the city was heard to complain bit terly becauso the force employed with the hose Insisted upon beginning at tho foot of the street and flushing up hill, thus securing no results as far as dis posing of the accumulated dirt of weeks was concerned. It seems to be uphill work to get our streets cleaned at any rate, whether tho employes go about It backward or not. One club of small maidens of this city have begun the knitting of nocks for tho American soldiers In prospect of war. They were intensely disgusted yesterday when tho suggestion was made that warm woolen Bocks would scarcely bo Imperatively necessary In Cuban warfare. Minnie Mnddorn Flsko delivered a lecture the other day at the Chicago Woman's club, when she spoko very plainly regarding her view of tho much talked of and evident deterioration of the stage. Sho declnred that this effect Is chlellv duo to tho commercial spirit now In control, In the shape of great syndicates. Sho spoko with enthusiasm of the few men who retain Individual ity In this whirlpool of vulgarity, cit ing Auguf.tlu Daly's theatre . a "temple of the drama," where one Is nssured of mi absence of these deleter ious influences. She believed that tho mission of nrt never changes and la only hlndrcd but not destroyed. if ONE WOMAN'S VIEWS. Everybody who has seen Hoyt's com edy, "A Contented Woman," will re member tho many funny situations where the beautiful young wife urged on to battle by three women's rights representatives with short hair and "manly" attire, allows herself to enter Into a campaign for mayor of tho city ngalnst her husband. This piny prom ises to bo equalled, If not surpassed, by a real comedy In Jeffersonvlllc, Ind where the belle of the region, Miss Berry, has decided to announce herself ns candidate against the "base ball" mayor who desires to succeed himself. There are certain original features In this little drama, In that the woman aspirant Is not only young and fair, but single. The average society young woman has small desire for the fame and excitement of political power. She holds sway already over enough hearts to satisfy her tendency to rule and she has rather well-defined Ideas of still further control absolute and complete when she shall deign to marry. As a rule she has never felt any yearning for more rights thun are hers under the present monarchlal government exer cised by women. The society girl hns too good a time and too thoroughly appreciates her mercies to abbreviate her brief reign by a political career. After she has grown old, or when she has found out that her doll Is stuffed with sawdust of a very Inferior quality, or that she Is an oppressed and down trodden woman she may decide 'to struggle for the ballot. Just what has actuated Miss Belle Berry, of Jeffer sonvllle, Ind., to want to be mayor .Is a puzzle. Perhaps she has a grudge against her opponent, because he may like some other girl. Perhaps she has laid a wager with a friend, or perhaps. happy thought, she has a lot of beauti ful new gowns that are really too stun ning to use In an ordinary summer campaign, &uch as she has enjoyed In the past. People do queer things at fires. Everybody agrees to this statement. The old tradition of carefully convey ing tho feather bed downstairs to a safe place, while the French plate mir ror Is pitched out of a third-story win dow, Is frequently exemplified. Not long ago at a flre In this city a well-meaning young man rushed Into the flames and secured a yellow pincushion which adorned a dressing table, leaving any number of sterling silver toilet articles to bo fried, which they were, in duo course of time. On another occasion recently a brave rescue expedition tossed a pet cat down from the third story, much to the det riment of the head and shoulders of a bystander where she landed, and tend erly bore In his arms a huge newspaper parcel which proved to contain a fine assortment of carpet rags destined to busy the fingers of the old ladles at the Homo for the Friendless. Another Individual burned his eyebrows off in the heroic effort to save a tin model of a war vessel, quite valued, to be sure, by the youngest member of the house hold, but not rated by the family in general with a costly rug on tho floor. The other night nt a fire where con siderable excitement was experienced, among the articles, the rescue of which occasioned a special trip, was a long glass cane, which was borne with solici tude. The pnpers have already pub lished an account of the exceeding care with which somebody a few weeks ago conveyed a dress suit case from a burn ing building, after being sent for n box of greut value. The dress suit case, on investigation, was discovered to be full of empty wine and beer bottles. It Is at the quiet, well-behaved little fires which occur In one room nnd nre soon extinguished that the funny Inci dents happen, funnier because there seldom ensue tragedies or great losses to quench tho smiles thus enkindled. These little conflagrations often arlso from tho contact of a gas jet with a curtain blown by the breeze at the window, and there Is usually some wo man on the spot who does queer things In her frantic attempts to head off a lire-water company. Often she runs around and around the room, for a t'li'o lookif.e for something and teelmr rcthlng tV.t could ;.osslbly put out tl.o horrid, creeping little blazes, although rugs and heavy bedclothlng In abund ance are close at hand. She screams "Fire! fire!" in a still, small, suffocated voice and wonders why In the world her husband nt the olllce a mile or two away doesn't come with the garden hose. Then she finishes the perform ance by beating the flames out with her bare hands and fainting. The other day the wife of a promi nent resident dropped a match In tlw waste basket. It wasn't burning, of course; sho had carefully put It out before letting it fall, but the hateful, contrary thing set tho paper on flre and In a second there were the sudden blaze and tho accompanying conster nation. When the daughters of the house arrived on the scene In response to the almost Inaudible cries of their frightened mother, sho was discovered endeavoring to quench the flames, which were well ullare in curtains and wood work, by running from the basin to the window with a small glass tumbler, which sho filled with water and hys terically flung at tho flre. Notwith standing tho fact that the situation hns been repeatedly explained to her since by her fun-loving family, she has not yet been able to seo Its comicality ac cording to their view. We all laugh at other people's antics nt a flre nnd wo wonder how In the world they can nianago,to do so many Idiotic things In such a short time, but all the while wo aro laughing wo also wonder a little as to whether we wouldn't le a trifle more Idiotic than anybody else If such an occasion arose. Saucy Bess. gWttffltWttfflWW OKI Bishop Fowler will preside at tho sessions of tho Wyoming Methodist conference beginning April 13. It Is hoped that he can bo persuaded at that time to deliver his famous lecture on "Abraham Lincoln," said to bo tho greatest address on that theme ever henrd on the platform. There will bo few long-term changes In tho Methodist churches on the Wyo ming district this yenr. But one man, Rev. J. N, Lee, of Plains, haa com pleted tho flve-yenr limit. Many oth er changes of clergymen will, however, take place. Rev. Dr. James MeLeod will begin a series of lectures tomorrow evening on "Great Themes." The first will bo "The Greatest Thing In tho World," and will bo of the utmost Interest. Dr, McLcod's series of sermons on the "Beatitudes," have attracted wide spread comment and were of unex celled brilliance of diction and origin ality of application. Congregational singing at the First Presbyterian church Is now from tho new hymnals recently published, sev eral hundred of which have been pur chased. Tho choir of tho First Presbyterian church will tomorrow morning render tho beautiful selection, "Crossing the Bar" Tennyson's swan song, set to music by Barnby. The Sunday school classes of Miss Lillian DuBols and Miss Oussle Holn, of Calvary Reformed church, corner Monroe avenue nnd O Ibsen street, will give an Illustrated lecture on ' Japan Tuesday, March 13, S p. m. This Is especially Interesting because of tho Interest In events In the far east and China. There will bo fifty colored views from photographs. The Bible class of the same school, Rev. G. W. Welsh, teacher, will hold a grama phono entertainment and hox social on Murch 13, 8 p. m In tho church. 4 Many friends of Rev. A. B. Phil putt, who made his acquaintance here during the Christian Endeavor conven tion, will be Interested to know that ho hns resigned his pastorate at tho Church of the Disciples In Philadelphia to accept a call to the Central Christian church, Indianapolis, one of the largest churches of that denomination In tho country. Dr. Ph'llputt was formerly pastor In that state and was also pro fessor of Greek In the state university of Indiana, Dr. Phtlputt has been for two years president of the state Chris tian Endeavor union.

It was meat Interesting In character and was great ly enjoyed. The Rev. James Hughes, late of Klmberly, Africa, who has only re cently returned from a tour in Ohio, has been Invited to Youngstown for th'o month of May in anticipation of securing the permanent services of the reverend gentleman as pastor of on in fluential church In that town. There will probably be n new saint on the calendar In the course of a few months. The pleading for tho canoni zation of Joan of Arc will take place at Rome very soon, nnd as the records of virtues and also of miraculous heal ing are freely verified by ancient docu ments1 the result will probably bo In her favor. S. 51. Bard, of Harrlsburg, general secretary of Young Men's Christian association, of the state of Pennsyl vania, was In the city yesterday and attended a meeting of the Young Men's Christian association directors. He had many good plans which will be of ma terial benefit to tho ofllcers of the city association.
