DECORATED FIREMEN'S GRAVES. 



The Fire Department of Washing- 

 ton, D. C, has a pretty custom, wor- 

 thy of emulation elsewhere, of deco- 

 rating the graves of firemen. In ac- 

 cordance with this custom established 

 four years ago by the then chief, Wm. 

 T. Belt, his successor. Chief Frank J. 

 Wagner, and a detail of men from all 

 the fire stations went, with supply 

 wagons, to the cemeteries where fire- 

 men are buried and strewed their 

 graves with flowers. Sixty-eight graves 

 of former firemen were decorated in 

 Washington, Maryland and Washing- 

 ton cemeteries. F. J. DYER.
