FLAMING OIL AND TAR.
The Chief Fire Engineer, Property Own
ers and Insurance Men as Spectators.
A Wonderful Performance by the Lewis Hand
Fire Extinguisher-A Good In
dOrSement.

On Thursday afternoon, on East Market
street, fronting the courthouse square, the re-
porter noticed preparations going forward for
what he thought would likely prove highly
successful bonfire. Boxes garnished with kind
ling wood, over which salad dressing composed
of oil and tar was poured, were ignited and in an
instant the combustible heap was in cracking
flames, which leaped to height of fifteen feet
or more. A large crowd of interested citizens
we're about, and they were for the most
part, staid and sober personages,
not likely to waste any time
looking at bonfire. There were number of in
surance men, and specially interested spectator
was Chief Webster of the Fire Department 1t
was test display of the Lewis Hand Fire EXtin-
guisher represented in this city by Mr.. M. F.
Gent who may be found at the office of Drew d.
Bennett corner of Pennsylvania and Market
streets He and Mr.. ]. Motto Martin of the
firm of Hall 81 Martin, who manufacture the
extinguisher, were present to show how the
apparatus worked. The extinguisher is hollow
tube about twenty inches long and about two
inches in diameter which is filled with achemical
liquid. Mr.. Martin steppedforward and began to
sprinkle the fire with the eXtinguisher, and in
half minute by the watch the roaring flames
had vanished, and only the charred boards re-
manned to show that there had been fire. There
was end to the expressions of appreciation
given by everybody at this wonderful exhibit
ton. The Lewis Hand Fire Extinguisher can be
carried and used by a child. 1t is always ready
for use, and, besides being safe, can always be
depended upon. Chief Fire-engineer Webster
says this is the most immediate and absolute ex-
tnguisher he ever saw, and does not consider it
possible to conceive of a more simple, safe and
complete fire eXtinguisher than the Lewis.
Mr.. Zent will be pleased to see any one inter
ested in this apparatus, at the Office of Drew &
Bennett, where he is making his headquarters

w.AT SENATOR FAIR HAS To SAY
ABOUT THE SITUATION.

Senator James.G. Fair was mildly but
firmly interviewed BY Reno Gazette re-
porter Friday morning. He said he wa.
in the best Of health and folt as il he
could turn summersault as well as
when he was fifteen. He looks well, but
his full beard is growing grayer. He
was met by D. B. Lyman and Colonel
Taylor, with whom he was quite busy
most Of the time he was in Reno. The
reporter took advantage of a quiet mo.
ment and said: "Senator, how do things
look East ?"
S.--"The business depression seems to
be less severe than it was, although man
ufacture still suffer greatly. The uncer.
tainty in regard to the tariff is very det-

R.-"What is the political outlook"
Sob! l think-oh, all, Lyman let
me see you. Excuse me a moment, Mr..
Reporter. Mr.. Lyman / want to say"
and the conversation became inaudable.
Pretty soon Mr.. Lyman's train bell rang
and he had to leave the Senator to his
fate. He again fell a victim to the re.
porter, who asked what he was doing in
politics. He replied. "Oh, nothing. I
don't have time" gt
R.--''Who is ahead for the nomina.
