The Capital Journal has been In

whether or not there Is any necessity
for purchasing such an engine nt this
time that is a responsibility which
tho mayor and tno council acting up
on the recommendation of tho chief of
the fire department must assume.
Tho Capital Journal does know,
however, that If an engino Is to bo
purchased, there is only ono way to
purchase It and thnt Is to secure

tho charges of mlsmnnngement of the
mute school. Although the other mem
bers of the committee were out of the
city yesterday, owing to tho brief time
remnlnlng of tho session, Mr. ChlldB
thought It best to do a little 'Investi
gating, anyway, so with a couple of
gentlemen friends accompanying him,
he slipped out to the muto school un
heralded, nnd, whllo the action of tho
committee, cannot bo forecasted, vlt is
certain that Mr. Child's wns highly
pleased with his visit, and Is pretty
thoroughly convinced that the school
Is not only not mismanaged, but that
It is run in a highly satisfactory man
ner. The children arc bright, healthy,
neatly nnd cleanly dressed and nro
happy, none of them having any com
plaints to make. Indeed they look up
on Mr. and Mrs. Tllllnglinst In the
light of parents, nnd the latetr Is sim
ply worshiped by tho children, espe
cially tho girls. Several of tho latter,
bright-faced, winsome llltle lasses, got
busy and In a short time prepared a

education in tho cullnnry line was cer
