From the way sight-feed lubricatOrs are
being put on the locomotives it is only a
question of time and money to pay for them

part of some against sight feed. When
you see some of them with a half-dozen
pipes running all ways over the boiler head,
gum and dirt over ALL a few of the numer-
Gus joints leaking. and the oil from both
feeds going into one cylinder, you don't

EXCURSlONISTS IN GREAT PERIL.

Falls Saved by Knot in the Anchor Chain.

NIAGARA FALLS, n. Y, July 22.-One hun
dred and fifty excursionists-men, women
and children-on the steamer Ella II. mar
rowly escaped going over the falls yester-
day. The boat runs between Port Day and
Buckhorn island. Yesterday. owing to the
low stage of the water, she was obliged to
run around Green island. Just as she was
rounding the island in the swift
eat part of the river at that point
the engine gave out. The anchor was
heaved overheard. but it failed to catch for
some distance, dragging along the rocky
bottom. When 1t did finally take
hold the boat was under such he adway
that the bulk head to which the hawser was
attached was torn from its fastenlngs.
When nearly the whole chain had been
run out the end became knOtted in the
hole in the bulwarks and held the boat
The trouble with the engine proved to
be defective valve, which was soon re-
paired, and the boat was again got under
headway, but so great was the force of the
current that it took fifteen minutes to
get TO where the anchor had caught, a
hundred feet up stream from the boat
There were about one hundred and fifty
passengers on the steamer and in
the pleasure barge attached to it..
There was terrible scene of confusion.
Women tainted, the children screamed and
men bade each other goodbye The boat
was only a short distance above the falls
when 1t stopped.

PAIRS IN THE HOUSE.

How the Democrats Lost Their Opportunity
to Beat the Elections Bill.
Washington Special.
During the recent discussion and vote
upon the federal elections bill in the House
a great deal of trouble and misunderstanding
ing was aroused over the question of mem
bers' pairs" On the day that Mr.. Hemp
hill, of South Carolina. offered an amend
ment the effect of which would have been
to eliminate the feature which the Demo-
Gratis thought most Objectionable the roll
call disclosed the absence of large num-
ber of members. who. it was afterward
found, whore not paired. Many of them
were In the city. some within stones
throw of the Capitol building The result
of their absence was that the Democrats
missed their opportunity to nullify the bill
at the start. Several Democratic papers
undertook, on the day following the vote,
to read the erring members lesson In par
ty discipline, and severely rebuked them
for leaving the House without being paired.
One member has resented the rebuke by
threatening to kill correspondent
There is absolutely no protection thrown
about the matter of arranging pairs In the
House. The only rule upon the subject
says that after the first call of the day all
pairs shall be announced by the Clerk.
The practice is for members making the
pairs to hand the announcement of them to
the Clerk who sees they are printed in the
Record. No questions are asked, and the
members fix up the pairs to suit them
selves. Thus, when member is absent
and is not paired he can telegraph to col
league and find some member on the other
side in the same situation. when it is ar
ranged that the Record shall state that
these two absent members were paired.
One member who went to Europe with
out taking the precaution to get a pair was
used to protect half dozen members in
one day. 1t was also found that he was
paired with Democrat who never knew
the other man was absent from Washing
