In considering the question of com
fort i'm houses OF amusement Mr.. BUCKLE
is mo- less ingenious. Among the best Of
his suggestions ON this head is his rec
concentration that there should be a re-
firing room just OF the yestibule where
ladies and gentlemen may await their
carriages without impeding the egress
of the audience. and a small room for
the use Of servants and footmen in wait
ing. There is room for Improvement, .
he rightly thinks, lin the present
method of-to adopt military
similc-incarriaging and decarriagng
the audience. Ladies in evening attire
and thinly wrapped have now to stand
exposed TO the cold winds waiting for
their carriages. Mr.. BUCKLE does not
ovcrstate the caSe-at least, 50 far as
American theatres are concerned-in
describing the dressing rooms as the
abomination Of desolatlon." Not only
are they bare. cold and cherries. and
often inconvenicnt and not even clean,
but they are dangerous to the last de-
gree in the event of fire. Many thea
tres that are deliberately comfortable so
far rs the audiences are concerned
have no adequate provision for the
needs Of the actors Mr.. BUCKLE
thinks that 1.-THE dressing rooms should
constitute a distinct block. and be sepa-
rated by fre-resiStiug lobby or corridor
from the stage. This block should be
divided into two sections, having
separate Staircases and approaches
for the men and women, with distinct
sanitary conyiences provided on each
floor" He further describes daylight,
fresh air. warmth, adequate space for
bathing. hot and cold water. clothes
racks and drawers as essential to the
dressing rooms. but it is safe to say that
there are few theatres where all these
things. and many in which no one Of
them, are provided. Although, as we
have already said, the entire discussion
of this important question Of theatre
construction in Mr.. BUCKLES volume is
well worth attention. there is no single
feature of it which touches more nearly
existing evils than this matter of dress
ing rooms. from the point OF view Of
safety and of comfort alike.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1890-09-01

BROOKLYN. NY, Sept. Hires that were plainly of incendiary origin started in six different localities in Brooklyn last night and early this morning and resulted in the injury of several perSoRs Spd the arrest of two men on suspicion of being the incen- diaries. Two of the fires were started In the cellars of crowded tenement houses, and in the last one, which oc- cured in ths morning, three of the occupants were severely burned in making their escape. Their names are Mary Moore, aged 19 years; John Schmidt, aged l9 months, aud Ann O'Reilly, aged 2l years. The aggregate loss was small, as the fires were promptly oxtinguished.
 The occupants of the tenanted houses in most cases narrowly escaped death. Rushes were made to the win dows in frantic efforts to get out, and many threw themselves over the iron railings of the fire escapes, where they hung until rescued by the tirsmen. In addition to the injured mentioned, a baby of Annie O'Reilly, six months old, was so badly burned that it will prob ably die. Several of the tenants, who were aroused from their beds by the alarm became dAzed, and probed their way through the smoke filled corridors from which they were taken out by the rescuers. One fireman was over come by smoke and removed to the hoaDital

A Mothers Blessing,

Since the days when dear mother Eve carried on her successful filtration with Father Adam in the shady hooks of the Garden of Eden, A mothers blessing was always appreciated. No words have a greater charm. and the men and women who merit this blessing will always eNer- else a powerful influence in society.
 Out of the nine men who are working hArmoniousiy in this successful concern, five of them have merited their mothers blessing, and the phenomenal growth of the Waterbury Furniture company is the wonder and admiration of the 10.OOO peo- pie in and around Waterbury.

Mrs. Rogers ordered the scaffold down, but the command was not obeyed with suf1icien alaority to suit her. She darted into the house and soon emerged with a knife, with which she cut the rope holding one end of the scaffold, pre- cipitating William McMahon, s painter, distance of thirty feet to the pave meut. NcMahon's breast bone was bI oken and internal injuries inflicted from which he will probably die. Mrs. Rogers was arrested and held for the grand jury.

AN IMMENSE CRANE.
A Penderous Machine Which Has Co
 9IOO. 900.


 SIOo. 900.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The largest travelling crane in the world, which a corps of maohinists and mechanical en- gineers have been for several weeks setting up in the gun shop at the navy yard here, is now in practical opera tion. While differing in many material points from smaller travelling cranes which have been in use in the ordnance shop, 1t is constructed on the same general principle. It has lifting oa- pacity of no tons, and tests made a few days ago in the presence of the Secretaries of War and Navy and other government officials was very satisfac- tory.
 For the purpose of testing the pom derous machine to the full capacity agreed on in the contract for it's con StruOtion, 110 tons of pig iron was piled up on platform of immense logs or beams, securely fastened together with the largest chains in use at the ord nance shops. To form this enormous weight it required 8 solid mass of pig iron corded up about ten feet high and nearly ten feet square at the base. This tremendous weight was picked up and carried about the shop in all directions as though it were a toy, being raised or lowered, or the direction changed by simple system of levers, requiring but little skill in their manipulation.
 The crane is destined to carry the no ton steel guns which are being built at the navy yard, and there is no doubt that 1t will do the work. The girders which span the shop are 62 feet in length and high enough from the floor to give a 40 foot hoist. By the system of levers referred to, the speed of the hoisting machine can be adjusted to suit the load which is to be carried. It will lift its greatest weight. 110 tons gross, one foot per minute.
 The whole machine rolls along from one end or tho building to the other it 6 enormous size, easy action and strength dwarhng all other machines about it.
 An idea of it's immense proportions may be inferred from the fact that the main sheave or pulley block, or mere bangle, which hangs below 1t, weighs five tons. The total weight of the crane, without the frame-w work, tracks upon which it runs to the square steel shaft which propels it, is 1S5 tons.
 The machine has attracted the at .. tention of mechanical engineers from all over the country, many of whom have taken long trips to see 1t in opera tion. With the iron framework on which it is supported, the machine has cost the Government $100,000.
