To Put ont Theatre Fires.

The protection Of theatres from injury
by fire has taxed the ingenuity of in
ventors ever since playhouses were first
constructed, and all kinds of devices
have been tried to provide for the safety
of audiences, with more or less success.
Last night an exhibition was given in
Mason street of an apparatus invented
by District Engineer j. w. Reagan
whose headquarters are at the house OF
Engine 90, which promises far to excel
anything of the kind ever adapted to the
uses of the stage. It is very simple in
its construction, being what might be
termed brass nozzle, formed like the
burner of an ordinary kerosene lamp,
with three apertures two and one-half
inches across.
Through these apertures (which in a
lamp would contain the wick) fan shape
streams of water can be elected to a
height of about seventy feet and of a
width nearly as great. This contrivance
will be first placed in the fremont thea
tire. One viii be placed Immediately
under the proscenium arch, and that
alone will be sufficient to throw spray
of water SO dense as prevent the fiercest
fire from passing through it, as it will
completely cover the whole space occu-
pied by the front of the stage. For
more perfect protection there will be
one placed on each side Of the proscen-
ium arch, about half way from the floor
of the stage to the top of the proscenium.
With three great bodies of water thrown
in as many different directions across
the stage 1t Is believed that it will be a
matter Of impossibility for fire to leap
across it.-Boston Herald.

The Old Commodorr.

Commodore Vanderbilt made $780,
600, 900, beginning with no money and
very little education. He could write
his name, and that was about the extent
of his scholastic requirements. His
name, which was good for any amount
on check, was not much to look at. He
could not pronounce the letter v, and
always called himself Vanderbilt a

in transacting business involving many
millions. and then went to bis stables.

A Dov THAT Prints ! paper.

Printing presses are usually run in this
country by steam power, by water pow
er, electric motors, and by main strength
and awkwardness; but the machine
that grinds out The Plain City Dealer
is run by dog power. A large wheel about
ten feet in diameter and about two feet
in width is connected with the drive
wheel of the press by means of belt.
Cleats are placed about foot apart on
the inside of the wheel, where ssJoe, "
the journalistic dog, walks his weary
round and thus causes the wheel to re-
yolye. Joe has run the press for about
five years. and has faithfully earned his
hash every week. Il is now about time
for him to die and go where good dogs
always go, and the proprietor of The
Dealer is casting around for another ca
nine. Part of Joe is shepherd and the
rest is common, every day dog. -Colum-

polls. ND. MONDAY EVENING. OCTOBER q. 1882


Judge Burr performed a marriage GER
emony of O rather remarkable charac-
ter. The groom was Horace Warner,
aged 81 years, and the bride Mrs. Annie
Brown, widow of 55. The bride has
been living with her daughter and SON.
in-law, John Gibbons, on a farm in Dako-
n county. and the groom has been en-
ployed by Gibbons as farm hand. Glib
bons and his mother-in-law, to whom
the farm belonged, were won't TO quar-
rel often and violently, and the widow
reasoned that, ii she could get married
again, it would be an easy matter to run
the farm without Gibbons, and she could
get rid of him.
She cast her eye about her In search OF
the proper man for future husband. II
rested on the young and healthy Horace
Warner. She proposed to him secretly
and he accepted. He was delegated to
inform Gibbons Of the match, for the
widow, who had known his wrath,
feared to speak. While hitching up a
team of horses to go to the timber land
for wood at daylight, young Mr. Warner
plueked up courage enough 20 tell his
employer all about 1t.
Gibbons flew into a rage and threat
ened to shoot Warner If he did not give
mp the idea of marriage with the widow.
The whole conversation was overheard
by Mrs. Brown, and when Gibbons had
done swearing vengeance and gone away,
she slipped up to the side of her intended
and suggested that Warner, instead Of
driving to the woods, should drive to the
city and she would come with him.
Mounted on farm wagon rugged for
hauling wood, he in his overalls and she
in a gingham gown, they eloped. They
had no trouble In getting license, and
were man and wife thirty minutes after
their arrival. A few hours of shopping
and gazing at the city sights suficed for
their honeymoon, and they went back to
the farm prepared to face the wrath of
the son-in4aw and his wife.-St. Paul

WOMEN AT OXFORD.
what Has Been Dove In the Past Tea

what Has Been Doae in the Past Ten
Years for Their Iseneat.
The association for the higher educa-
ton Of women in Oxford has Just cele-
brated its tenth year OF organization.
and is well pleased with the progress
made. There are now three halls for
women students in Oxford-I.ady Mar
garet, Somerville and st. Hngh's. The
life at the different halls is the same In
It's broad outlines, although each one has
its special characteristics Each student
has one room, which is used at night for
a sleeping room and in the daytime for
sitting room and study. The daily
routine of life at the college begins with
the chapel bell at 8 O'Clock; breakfast at
quarter past s. Students linger in the
library to chat and read the daily papers
for half an hour or SO after breakfast.
but by 0:30 o'clock most of them have
gone off to read in their rooms, or I'd
lectures in the town.
These are given either at the rooms of
the association for women's education.
or at the mems colleges The examina-
tions at Oxford are known as "pass. or
"honors." The standard Of the former
Is estimated to correspond with that OF
moderation. The .honors" examina-
tions either aim at standard analogous
to the mems honor examinations-as 10
the case of literature and modern Ian
guage-or are identical with them, as in
the case of the classical, mathematical,
natural science and modern history
schools. Most of the teaching for the
'spassn examinations and for the two
first ''honor" schools is given by uni-
versity lecturers and tutors at the,asso-
citation rooms. For the last four named
"honor" examinations, the women stu
dents attend lectures at the mems COL
leges, and read privately with university
tutors. Honor students are admitted to
the Bodleian library.
Lunch at the halls Is an informal meal,
which begins at o'clock. The afternoon
Is mostly devoted to walks, tennis, boat
ing on the Irwell, and other amusements.
Four o'clock is tea time, and the festive
time of the day in the halls. Tea par
ties are frequent, and guests come from
without as well from within the halls.
AT such entertainments shop" is tabooed
by etiquette. The time between tea and
dinner is given to work. Another half
an hour after dinner is devoted to social
purposes; after that comes evening pray
ers, and work begins again, to be carried
on for period long or short, according
to the discretion of each student. Cocoa
parties al 10 o'clock is form of dissipa-
ton that finds favor with the Oxford
girls The students at the different halls
meet at lectures, and they have debat-
ing society which holds fortnightly dis
cussions alternately at Somerville and
Lady Margaret halls. There is also a
tennis match between them every term.
Each hall has its own societies-literary,
musical, political and historical. Boston
