The gas jets in the district court room
wavered and fickered last night over the
heads of about TWENTY-FIVE men who had
marched along with ST. Paul from her in
fancy to the present time, watching with
Jealous eve her interest and welfare. 1t
was the occasion of the annual meeting of
the st. Paul association of Volunteer Fire
men, an organization formed away back
when St Paul first perched herself on the
bluffs OF the Mississippi and began TO at
tract the attention of the Eastern world.
They went into the company young and in
the prime of manhood. to fight fire without
remuneration. and now many of them have
grown into the
SHADowY ATMOSPHERE
of life, but they regularly put in their ap-
pearance at the annual meetings of the as
ISOLATION of which they have been members
SO many years. The membership has now
reached the number of sixty-ive, and an
effort has been made at the last two annual
meetings by few of the members to dis
organize the association and divide the con-
tents OF tie treasury. which amount TO

equally among the Protestant and Catholic

How Passengers Way Ise Loaded

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. "A resident OF
this city has filed a caveat and applied for
patent for an invention by which passen.
gers and freight may be taken on and dis
charged from railway trains without stop
ping, and II it proves what its model would
indicate it will be an important factor In
the rapid transit problem. The working
model shows the main track ON level and
an elevated track in front of an elevated
depot, with inclined tracks leading to it.
The idea is to start train from one ter

reaches the other. At the same time pas
sengers may be taken up and discharged AT
any station. AS q train reached a sta
ton on the main track the rear car
switches Off and runs up the inclined plane
to the elevated depot. At the same time
another car runs down the other inclined
plane. is caught by the other passing train,
whirled into the main track and becomes
part of the train. The passengers who de-
sire to stop at the next station pass to the
rear car, which is side-tracked as was
the previous one and another carload of
passengers taken on. BY continuance
which acts automatically, when a train gets
within certain distance of depot it re-
leases the car in waiting there, which starts
down the inclined plane Just as the last car
OF the train is switched OFF, and starts I'D

that Col Robert G.. Ingersoll pocketed the
proceeds of his lecture given for the benefit
Of the Liberal league before the ninth an
nual congress here he has denounced as a

The row reported in Sunday mornings
GLOBE that took place in Frank Jansen's
saloon on the old Fort road and during
which horse belonging To Burke. the
livery man. was shot, was a much more
serious affair than was at first reported.
John Sullivan, John Donovan and two
others went in the saloon full and COM
meneed shooting with their revolvers and
compelled the proprietor to furnish the
drinks at the muzZle OF gun. One of
them struck Mr.. Jansen, who
called to his son. and a general
fight ensued in which the toughs
got the worst Of it. When they were driv-
ing away, young Jansen got the impression
that one of the men was attacking his
father and fired somewhat at random with
one of the reviewers that had been dropped
by the gang. and this is probably the shot
that accidenely struck the horse.

Gates a. Johnson has held the position for
the past two years. Mr.. Johnson said yes
terday that he was candidate for re-elec-
ton, and the aldenpen. when interviewed

Charley Fairchild and DR.. Quinn went
out for the first time yesterday for a run on
the snowshOes. They hired hack to take
them out on the prairie and fooled around
about two hours trying To get the hang of
the shoes. In describing their experience
they said the shoes were on.top most of the
time. and if they hadn't taken the precau-
ton to take hack along they would prob
ably have camped on the prairie for the
night. They are not discouraged, however,
and propose 10 persevere until they get
there.

Elbow very odd that young man is" said
young lady TO her mamma yesterday aft
ernoon. as a well-dreSsed young man left
them, after fiye-rninutes chat as they sat
in cutter in front of Third street dry
goods store. He is very odd" she con-
tinued.
''Why do you think him odd?" asked
the fond parent, as she adjusted her seal-skin
mittens.
Because" said the young lady, she is
odd. He was here for five minutes, and in
all that time he didn't say, This is good
weather for the ice palace If he isn't odd.
he Is either sick or has real estate In Mime
apolis."
''It is strange how people are affected by
little imagination" said Signal Officer
Lyons yesterday. and then in explanation
he continued: Il have noticed to-day, since
the snow is piled up in such drifts, that
coat collars are turned up and mufilers are
out more than any other day for two or
three weeks. AS matter of fact, to-day
is the warmest day we have had since be-
fore New Years day. The wind is very
little, II any, heavier to-day than it has
been any day since then. But every little
gust scatters the snow, and ii covers the
walks and blocks up the streets, so every
one thinks it is really blizzard, and turns
up his coat collar"
So
Said travelling man yesterday in the
hearing OF GLOBE reporter: Religion is
all right but that isn't what the house
keeps US on the road for. Some good Gus
toners try to get solid by inviting US to
stop over Sunday with them and then work
us into the Sunday school. The customers
may be all right but when one Of mine
tries to work religion into property state
ment, draw the line right there and steer
clear OF him. just as quick as 1 can reach
for my gripsack"

Somebody didn't quite prove equal to the
occasion yesterday. Late in the afternoon,
even on the principal streets, pedestrians
hopped along in the biggest tracks. and
crossings were everywhere banked high
with snow from the street-car plows. There
were places where one had to go three or
four blocks TO cross the street without wad-
ing snowbank.
