The Life RinR Fire Escnue.

Saturday afternoon public test was made
at tho Arlington hotel of the life ring, a very
simple and ingenious machine of tho fire es-
cape kind. 1t consists of a rope, one end of
which is fastened TO the window or roof; on
this rope is movable ring, controlled by the
operator at will by brake of simple construc-
ton, but great and certain power. To the
ring are attached two belts, ON ono Of which
the person sits, while the other passes around
his back and under the erms. The ring, with
its burden, slides down tho rope at n speed
which can be regulated by the party in the
belts or by one Mt the lower end of the rope,
The experiments on Saturday were witnessed
by a large crowd Of interested spectators, and
were highly successful. A number of people
were let down from the top story and from the
roof, and afterward trunks and other baggage

LAY Gould's New Yacht Glidcs Into The
Delaware River,


PHILADELPHIA, April "A special train
from New York arrived at Cramps shipyard
Saturday noon, bringing over large party to
witness the launch Of Mr.. Gould's steam yacht
Atalanta Among those on board the train
were Mr.. and Mrs. Gould, Misses Nellie and
Annie Gould, George Gould, Mr.. and Mrs. A..
L. Holman, r. j.. Baldwin, Cyrus w. Field
jr William Henry Hurlburt, Of the New
York World, Miss Annie Hendricks, Y. s. JEFF
frey, Howard jeffrey, William H. Bingham,
John 7. Terry, and Il. o. Harris. Hotwith-
standing the heavy, damp atmosphere, u large
crowd gathered to witness the consignment of
the craft to the water. In addition to the
party from New York, there were many
prominent Philadelphians present Only
workmen were permitted on board the craft,
the launch being witnessed from a spa
cious platform constructed around the
yacht, from which hoated the stars
and stripes. The owner Of the
yacht and his party occupied positions on tho
platform at the bow of the vessel. Shortly
after o'clock the long line of workmem ar
ranged along either side of the keel Of the
Atalanta, began driving in the wedges pre-
paratory to cutting away the last fastenings
which held her on tho ways. The vessel did
not move at once upon the removal of tho
fastening and murmur of disappointment
went through the crowd but few minutes
later che glided smoothly and gracefully into
the Delaware amidst the cheers of the assem-
bled multitude and the din caused by the
steam whistles Of the tug boats iu the river.
As the bow of the boat left the ways Miss Nell
lie Gould christenod her the Atalanta, by
breaking the traditional bottle Of wine. Tho
launch was a complete success, and the
Messrs. Cramp were the recipients Of many
congratulations. After partaking of q BAN
quet at the office of the Messrs. Cramp the
New York party returned by special train.

More Changes In the Police Force.

Chief of Police Dye is evidently proceeding
with the work of making himself familiar with
the personnel of the force under his control
in a thoroughly systematic manner and as
fast as he finds incompetent and inefficient
men he will make vacancies for those who
will render faithful and intelligent service.
The designations of Sergt. Hamilton and Off
Ger Connell were accepted by the commission
ers on Saturday at Maj. Dyes recommenda-
ton, and it is understood that tho
next victim will bo Lieut.. johnson, whose
age is beyond that of active service, but whose
record for bravery and fidelity while he has
been on the force is not surpassed by any
member. 1t is presumed that those officers
and men against whom charges were made or
who were suspected of completely in the NAL
practices of the ex-detectives or permitting
the existence of immoral or illegal practices
in their precincts are being looked after, and
that when Maj. Dye takes up their cases he
will mean business.

Ex-Prcsident Diaz in an interview to-
night, said that the statement published that
he is visiting this country on official or bust
ness matters Is entirely erroneous. The trip
is for pleasure only, and for the purpose of
becoming acquainted with our institu-
tons. He is not cooperating with any
American syndicate of railway operations.
He denies that his influence is to be used to
obtain for such parties any concessions. He
trusts that prompt action will be taken on
the reciprocity treaty, and says that the Ger,
man land scheme SO called, in Mexico is
wholly imaginative.
