A NOVELTY IL FUEL.
An Important If Practical lrN milton BIS Which
Great saving is rflected

An Important If Practical IT, milton by Which
a Great saving is Ehected.
What appears to be an important in
vention has recently been made public in
this town, says letter from Phillips.
Wis. II is no less than a practical and
cheap use of water for fuel. The an
pliauce consists OF nothing but a piece OF
gas pipe two, or six or more inches in
diameter "a ma be desired, and of con.
venient length to fl cook stove or par
lor or other heater, with short legs or
other stable support, TO keep 10 in posi-
ton. This is placed in the stove with
one end slightly prof sctin TO which is
t'ached a vessel of water With stop
cock oOudui from the water vessel into the
pipe. Before reaching the steam chamber
the water passes through the important
part of this invention, the part that CON
stitutes or contains the great discovery.
BY means Of 1t the water may pass into
the steam chamber while the steam can
not pass out. The parr OF the pipe con
tanning the steam chamber is wiJhin the
stove, although a small part may be with.
ont, If desired. To this the heat of
moderate wood or coal fire is applied, so
allure, say 300 or nearly 400 de- r ees, when
it passes out of small orihoe, imme-
diately into the midst of bed of Goals
or flame from burning wood or coal, wnen
it is at once raised TO the required tenn
perature, 400 or more degrees, TO be i'm
mediately decom posed into its gases,
oxygen and hydrogen, which instantly
become flame, Outy moderate summer
fire of wood or coal will be required the
coolest day in winter, the gaseous flame
furnishing the balance of the heat need
ed in the coolest room. Tae capacity
for reducing heat may be regulated to
suit requirements.
When 1t is kaoWa that hydrogen fame
yields heat in burning i've times greater
than carbon, or about 900 TO $500 de-
grees, one may form some idea OF the ca.
pAcity OF this litjie conlrivance for pro-
duolug heat.
BY increasing tn temperature OF the
gas pipe to abou, 400 degrees, the vapOr
may be deoomposed into its gases before
exit from the pipe, and In such cases il
is emitted in je. of blue flame. In eth
er case the oxy-hydrogen flame Is, easily
produced and with p very small consump-
tion OF fuel.
This water burner has been in opera
tion here for some time in cook stove
and in four-ioo5 box stove, with results
az above stated. The inventor whose
name may yet live beside the names of
now famous inventors, has been at work
for many years, aud he now feels that be
Is near the reward tor all his laoors.
No exact test has yet been made, but "
Is safely estimated that the discovery will
effect a saving in cook stoves aud heaters
OF seven eight of the fuel. 10 will cook
especially we'll with soft coal. It may
easily be adjusted TO blscksmiths' FORCES.
One important feature is It's cbeapnessi
il may be adjusted to the common stove
for $40, and 1t is very simpl having no
delicate parts to get ont of repair.

SECOND cRoNIN MURDER
Or John Mclnrruy Of New York Not seen
Since April

On John Mclnrruy of New York Not Seen
Since April
NEW YoRK.-The Herald OF Monday
morning devotcs two columns to an artl-
Gle concerning the mysterious disappear
aucs and continued absence from New
York - Dr.. Ohm McIneruy, a prom
ueut llan-na Gael man who has not been
seen or heard from since April 18th last
Dr. MoIneruy was one OF the four per-
sons said to have been doomed to death
by the inner circle of the Gamma
Gael. the other three being
Dr.. Croniu, DR.. MeGahey,
of Philadelphia and John Dewey,
According TO the Herald DR.. Melnery
left New York about April 10, the sappo-
sitIon being that be started for Omaha,
from which city ne had received tele-
gram containing an offer OF q position
there. Since that time nothing has been
heard from him, and inquiry at Omaha
failed to reveal any trace of him, nor are
his friends able to lind anyone there
who knew OF any position having
been offered the Doctor. Tn.
Herald thinks the telegram may have
been decoy for the purpose Of getting
the doctor 70 Omaha or TO Chicago where
possibly arrangements have been made to
"put MIN away by the same means as were
used in getting rid OF Dr.. Crouin. II Dr.
McInerny went 70 Chicago be probably
arrived there on April 20 or p. A. that
time the Carlson cottage WAS IN the
hands OF the man, who two weeks la'er
murdered Or. Crohiu The Herald ar.
guesthat il would have been an easy matter
70 have some OF McInerny's pretended
friends to lure him 70 the lonely cottage
where the couspirators could have
murdered him, and disposed OF mis- BODY
without detection.
The Herald is very positive in sll i's
statements IN connection with this case,
and seems to accept the theory of murder
a. the only correct explanation OF Dr.
McInerny's absence aud silence.
The shan accompanied by several mem-
bers OF tse royal family and msmbers
OF the diplomatic corps were escorted
through the streets or London to Guild
hall. An business places presented q
holiday appearance.

The sectarian political warfare now
raging in Canada between the British
and French Canadians is fierce and
implaoable. Difference Of race and
religion IL there itreconcilsble. The
French Inhabitants do not take kindly
to English domination and will not as
simulate in politics, in progress, IN action
or in religion. Four generations have
passed since shey came under the British
yoke; but today they are rs IN English
as their ancestors were, and as
sturdily resist all progress. Jast now
the quarrel il on sectarian grounds.
The dispute ia on the educational ques-
ton. The French are Catholics and in
sist that their schools, under Catholic
guidance, shall be supported by the state.
The English influence insists, not simply
that the schools shall be uncatholc, but
that they shall be Protestant, under Pro.
testant influence and Protestant IN their
teaching. Both sides wish TO make the
public school the r.'ans of proseIyting
and nei her is disposed to yield one iot

Of strictly non sectarian system.

THE STAKE MONEY.
All Ready to be Paid to the Winner of
the Prize Fight.

NEW YORK, July 15.-To-day is the time set
for paying over to the victor of the recent fight
tine $4,000 stake money and to hand him the
Richard X. Fox champion belt. Al. Cridge
the stakeholder, stands ready to deliver over to
Jonn l.. SullIyans representative the stakes as
soon as he receives a formal statement from
Referee Fitzpatrick that Sullivan won the fight.
The Police Gazette, however, is not ready to
hand over the belt. Vim. E. Harding of the
p ,oae G .aa. G informed reporter
be allowed TO take the belt until he had de-
posted 81 900 with Richard X. Fox as Sc
curity FOX the safe keeping of the belt and also
"a guarantee that he will defend it against all
corners.
Suppose that Jem Smith," said Harding,
''or some other man should challenge Sullivan
to fight Tor the belt, and that Sullivan should
ignore the challenge. He would then forfeit
the $1,000. the belt, however, is worth twice
that amount"
Ar. Harding did not think the stake money
would be paid to-day, as no notification had
been received from the referee. Although
there was no occasion for disputing
the result, he thought that when so
large an amount Of money was in
volved it was entirely proper that every
safeguard should be taken. 1t was Mr.. Hard
ings impression that there was a clause in the
contract restraining the stakeholder from pay
ing over the money until he had received
formal notice from the referee
Kilrain will also have a representative pres
ent at the time the stakes are paid over, i'll or
der to see that all provisions are complied
with. Dan Murphy, the bottle-holder for
John at the fight. was subsequently seen
at the Vanderbilt hotel. When appealed to by
the reporter to shed some light on the present
whereabouts of the champion he said .!Sully is
in Chicago and We are expecting word from him
every minute notifying Us of his departure for
New York. We expect him to leave tonight
There Is no danger now of his arrest here"

A CAUSE CELEBRE.
of a Case That Has Been In
Court Since 1911.

CHICAGO, July ia dispatch from Lexing-
ton. Ky. says: The term of the circuit court Of
this county which has just closed disposed Of
one of the oldest suits pending in Kentucky
and one of more than ordinary interest, having
been in the courts since 1911, known as that
of Wickliffe's executors agt. Breckinridge's
heirs. The case has been to the court of ap-
peals several times, and at last, after costing in
the neighborhood of a million dollars, has
been decided in favor of the heirs of
John Breckenridge. The suit was originally
based upon an alleged contract made between
John Lee on the one part and John Breckin-
ridge and Geo. Nicholas on the other part,
dated August 6, 1895, whereby Lee sold to
Nicholas and Breckenridge one-half
of a tract of land in Clark county.
Kentucky, containing over 5000 acres
for the sum of $50 per 100 acres. Henry Clay
was mixed in the case originally. The original
claim out of which this case arose amounted
to only about $1,000, but the amount of land
involved. the present value on account OF the
rich iron deposits and the natural tendency
Of htigants to fight as long as possible
have combined to keep this case on the docket
these many years. The record is very volu-
minous and many of the papers in the case
are rare curiosities, dating back to the founda-
ton OF the commonwealth.

ssVIVE BOULANGER."
The Cry Nearly Causes a Riot in Paris.

NJ. Deroulede, NJ. Laguerre and other Bou-
langist members of the chamber of deputies
assembled in the Place de la Concorde, before
the statue Of Strasburg, yesterday, intending to
hold a meeting. A crowd Of several thousand
persons had gathered. NJ. Deroulede was
about to begin speech when police commits
sary named Clement forced his way through
the crowd, and, approaching Deroulede, for
bade him 70 speak. Deroulede protested. but
the police official was obdurate. DerouIedge
then began affixing floral wrea:hs to the rail-
ings around the statue. at the same time lead
ing the crowd in shouts of .'Vive Boulanger."
Clement tried to arrest Deroulede, but the
latter stoutly resisted, saying that he had not
made speech, and had only cheered for Bou-
LANCER. He refused to accompany the officer
to the police station. Clement thereupon
seized him. but the crowd came to Deroulede's
rescue and took him away from the officer.
Clement was being roughly handled by the
mob, when a large body of police suddenly ap-
peared upon the scene and charged the crowd,
driving them in all directions and rescuing the
unfortunate commissary. large number OF
persons were arrested
Laguerre and Deroulede during the scrim-
mage jumped into cab and were driven to the
office OF La Presse, where Q mob gathered and
indulged in noisy demonstrations. The police
cleared the streets and made many more
arrests. The incident has caused q sensation
throughout the city and dangerous develop
ments ere feared
