THE democratic press grows hu-
morous in it's references to the fact
that the ship bringing over the Hon.
James G. Blaine and family, among
its thousand passengers, flies the Eng
lish flag. This is direct result of
the democratic endeavor to break
up the government of this nation, and
their subsequent refusal to assist in
restoring that commerce by giving
government aid to American bottoms.

THE subscription list of the LIGHT,
which usually falls off little during
the heated term, when so many of its
patrons are away for the summer,
keeps on increasing this season right
through the dog days. Is this
because there are fewer absentees or
because the LIGHT is more and more
appreciated? From whatever cause
it is a most gratifying one. All good
republicans do not take the LIGHT
even now, and as this is campaign
year a gentle reminder is given them
of this fact. To those who are so con-
tinually sending words of encourage
ment and good cheer to this journal
the LIGHT returns its thanks with the
assurance that the effort will ever be
made to keep the LIGHT where it now
stands, at the head Of the evening
dailies of the state.

THE Way of the World"


The Grand opera house had better
have been kept dark than to have
opened its doors for such company
as appeared there last night, the
Weston Brothers, in their alleged
comedy-drama, 1.-THE Way Of the
World" 1t did not even cause the
gallery, where the largest part of the
audience were located, to get up and
howl with delight. 1t set forth to de-
pict the way of the world in judging
too hastily of a crime supposed to
have been committed by a good youLg
man. There was a heroine supposed
to be beautiful and supposed to sing
we'll, (for she tried hard enOugh) who
played the role of sister; there was a
stern parent, fond mother, an awful
heavy villain and a drunken scene
thrown in, with the Weston Brothers
well known musical specialties. These
were the best part of the performance.
The brothers can perform upon almost
any known musical instrument, but
should stick to their music and not
take anything too heavy for them; for
while their comedy-drama is not too
heavy for the audience it is decidedly
too heavy for them. The company APP
pears again tonight.

ENTERPRISING FIREMEN.
How Some Employees OF Engine
House No. 2 Have Spent Their
Leisure.

LEISURE
Engineer Geo. Conrad, of fire COM
pany No. 2, is genius and an inven-
tor. He is also a fine engineer, as a
little piece of his work recently placed
in Engine house No. 2 will demon
strate to any one who will take the
small trouble a LIGHT reporter did
and call around and see.
For some time past he has been
puzzling over the problem of how to
have sufficient steam up in his engine
when he reaches a burning building,
i'm order to set right to work throwing
water. Considerable valuable time
is wasted just by not having sufii-
Gent working power for some mo
ments at the beginning of the fire.
He went to work, after having struck
an idea and with the cooperation of
the other employees of the engine
house, Albert Ludwig and Charley
Deghr, he began working upon a
heater, which he could keep at a
small expense, and yet do the work
of always keeping a supply of hot
steam ready to put into the steamer
at the first fire alarm. He
finished his model yesterday and in
the afternoon reporter of the LIGHT
saw it at work. 1t is very simple, be-
ing a brick furnace, with steam heat
er above, steam gauge and every
thing, and is provided with an auto
matte damper, which keeps small
fire in the box regulated to an even
temperature. Thus but little fuel is
consumed. The steam is heated and
conveyed through pipe to the fire
engine, where nominal pres
sure is maintained. When an
alarm is given the engine
starts off at full speed, with
the fire lighted under the boiler. The
supply pipe drops and closes auto
matically as does the receiving pipe
attached to the engine. On the way
to the fire the steam is kept up and
when the fire is reached everything is
ready to instantly throw water
The apparatus has been built at the
expense of the employees of this en-
CINE house and they feel very proud
of it and the success of the first trial.

What'S the Use?

What on earth is the use of the
steam-roller in repairing Veramendi
street? What is the use of repairing
such short street, anyway? 1t is
only one short block in length, and
was already in very good condition,
and there is but little travel on it.
The steam-roller spent the whole of
yesterday in rolling up and down this
street. Other parts of the city need
it worse.
