There is no more honorable or unsel-iish work done by anybody of men. I will not take up our time in complimenting you and expressing my appreciation of you as has been done by the other speakers preceding me but will dismiss this part of the subject by saying to you I sincerely feel and enter into the many nice compliments that have been so well expressed by the other speakers and believe they have not said all that might well and properly be said in commendation of you and your work.

There are also proper regulations as to putting up of stoves and disposition of ashes and electric -wiring (and steam pipes are required to be putj up in such a way as will make them safe.

8. It is also required before the building should be commenced the building inspector should be informed as to the character of the proposed building and give a permit for the same and shall inspect the building from time to time to see it is properly erected. The building inspector is also required to make annual inspections in his town of ail' the buildings within the (city limits and quarterly inspections of a)l buildings within the fire limits. He! is to keep a record of his work and make proper reports to the insurance commissioner. 9.

It was provided that this amendment should not apply to any city that did not have at least 1,000 inhabitants according to the last U. S. census; and that these cities and towns could exempt; themselves from the provisions of this law, provided it was done prior to the first of July, 1905, when; the law into effect.

"Why, the chap in the red velvet vest, that had the towns of the state and the duties laid upon you and me in regard to the en forcement of the same. I ask of each The awakenLng of the boa rd of censors of the Ducks County Bar Association Is an encouraging ign that the revolt against "graft" has extended even to the legal profession. The censors cannot be accused of hasty action in these two cases, in which two prominent lawyers of the county are specifically charged with the embezzlement of the money of their clients. Their breaches of trust, as alleged, date back tyo or three years, and some of them have been notorious. Not until they had long been the subject of public discussion do they appear to hare tElsturbed the serenity of the bar asso- -elation.

The influential position long held by the two meif whom the court is now asketl to disbar gives a particular importance to the present proceeding. Unhapply, the cases are not altogether exceptional, nor Is the hesitation which their professional brethren have shown In bringing them to account. There Is supposed to be a board of censors in every county, whose duty is to uphold the ethical standards of the profession and purge it of black sheep. The prevailing Inaction of these censors has been long an open scandal, and the i Pennsylvania bar has suffered in cfiTracter and reputation In consequence, There have been many signs recently, in various portions of the state, that lawyers have been aroused to a sense of their responsibility, as an organized profession, for the protection of the public not merely against flag--tnnt dishonesty, but against tlioso loose ideas of fiduciary obligation which have been permeating both pub-lie and private life. There Is a broad field for the censors, if they are themselves men who know and feel the right and are fearless in sustaining It.

Let us hope that Bucks Is not the only county where they are awake. Philadelphia Ledger. had it introduced into the legislature. The main part of the bill lis a re-en-actment of the law that had already been explained and is an attempt to prevent fires. All buildings were required under it to be inspected and When the insurance department was formed in 1899 there was also passed law known in other states as the Fire Marshal Law.

This law made the insurance commissioner ex-officio the tire marshal of the state, and laid upon him the responsibility of looking into all suspicious fires. This law required the chiefs of the fire departments in all cities and towns where such an office existed to make a report to the insurance commissioner of every fire occurring in his city and also made it the duty of the sheriffs of each county to report to the commissioner all fires occurring within their counties outside of incorporated cities and towns. I refer to the law as set out in chapter 58 of the Fublic Laws of 1S99. This law has been amended and improved from time to time and the success of the commisisoner under it in having convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary or to the roads fifty odd men is largely due to the interest taken in this law and its execution by the firemen and sheriffs in the state. CHIEF OF FIRE DEPARTMENT.

When the execution of this law was undertaken it was found that a large number of the cities and towns in the state had no chief of fire department and that no such officer was provided for in their charters or ordinances. To remedy this defect and to show the appreciation in which the work of this office was held by the law-making body the legislature. of 1901 enacted chapter 077 of the Public Laws of 190l created the office of "chief of fire department" and defining the duties of said officer. It was made the duty of the governing board in every city and town to elect such officer, to fix his term of office, to prescribe his duties, obligations and compensation, and it was also provided that where the charters or ordinances of the cities and towns in the state did not prescribe the duties of the chief of fire department that the duties would be as is set out in the following extract from the law: "It shall be the duty of the chief of fire department in addition to the duties prescribed in chapter 58, Public, Laws of IS99, to preserve and care for the fire apparatus, to have charge of the fighting and putting out of all fires, to make annual reports to their city or town governments, to seek out and have corrected all places and conditions dangerous to the safety of the city from fire, to look after buildings being erected with a view to their safety from fires and to do and perform such other duties as may be prescribed by i the governing boards of the several cities and towns." The provisions in regard to the duty of this officer as referred to in this law as set out in the "Fire Marshal Law," chapter 58, Laws '99, were as follows: "It shall be the duty of the insur ance commisisoner to require in all incorporated cities and towns of the state that the said officers shall make in their respective cities and towns annual inspections of the buildings said cities and towns and quarterly inspections of all premises within the fire limits and report in detail the results of their inspection to the insurance commissioner upon blanks finished by him. Whenever any of said officers shall find in any building or upon anv premises combustible material or inflammable conditious dangerous to the safety of such building or premises they shall order the same to be removed or remedied, and such order shall be forthwith complied with by the owner or occupant of said building or premises: Provided, however, that if the said owner or occupant shall deem, himself aggrieved by such order, he may, within twenty-four hours, appeal to the insurance commissioner, and the cause of the complaint shall be at once investigated by the direction of the latter, and unless by his authority the order of the officer above mentioned is revoked such order shall remain in force ana be forthwith complied with by said owner or occupant.

The insurance commisisoner, fire chief, or fire committee, as aforesaid, shall make an immediate investigation as. to the presence of combustible material oi the existence of inflammable conditions in any building or upon any premises under their jurisdiction upon complaint of any person having an interest In or you, and oeneve I win receive your 1 active and intelligent aid hi regard to this matter.

And the main point in the new law is to require that Lthe buildings in cities and towns in the state shall be built in such a way as ventriloquist, who had taken the measure of the proprietor, caught his tones of voice, and concluded to have a lit them in putting up such buildings in their communities as will afford pro-teeton against fires.

In a few minutes the strange' nan came out from his supper; and. although when he entered the saloon he seemed cold sober, his whiskey at the bar and his beer with the oysters had about "throwed" him, for he stumbled in the restaurant doorway, and swayed back and forth as he paid his bill, and lighted his cigar at the lamp on the counter. Making bis way unsteadily to an armchair, he settled back; in a minute or two the lighted cigar fell to the floor, he folded his arms across his head and neck shrank down into his collar and he went fast to sleep at least it looked. The proprietor smoked out his cigar, folded up his paper, got to his feet, stretched himself, groaned dismally, gave some directions to the bartender, and went off to bed for he was an old bachelor, and had rooms on the upper floor back, the rear of the building extending up to two stories, though the front containing the bar room, was of only one story. Quiet reigned in the saloon for a while with only movement now and then by the bar who had taken the stool, and was reading the paper, the click of the dcmlnoes and the players i calling the score, and the heavy breathing of the man asleep in the chair.

Suddenly there was a knocking on the ceiling overhead, causing the occupants of the saloon (except the stranger) to look up, startled and surprised. Then came this, in the deep voice of the proprietor: "Hello, down there, Bill!
