Advance fneDntIstry.

l1nterVleW Ill ufnllaQolpnla Record.
 The first dental college in the United States was established in 1940 at Baltimore and at that time no one had to go to col lege before practicing dentistry. In 1864 there were but three others in this coun. try, two here in Philadelphia and one in Cincinnati. Even as late as the civil wal college education was not requisite; but at this time there are twenty-six or twenty eight schools in the United States, and think nearly every state has laws compel ling collegiate course to the would be practitioner. All the work was done by hand up to 1871, when the dental engine was invented by an American.
 In 1S40 teeth were filled with gold prin- capally, and with gutta percha and, of course, all the cutting and hammering and to be done by hand. Until 1868 there was no such thing as a rubber dam either, and the use of this has almost revolutionized the practice of destistry. Then, too, soft gold was used, but now cohesive gold is very important factor in the art of filling teeth.
 The year after the war closed the first automatic mallet was invented, and it sprang into immediate and universal fla vor. Chisels, excavators and pluggers of one kind and another were then used, but prior to 1871 all the excavating had to be do41 by hand with these instruments and a few hand burs. The dental engine, however, lessens the time of torture fully one-half, and does the work perfectly.

FIRE ENGINEERS TO CONVENE.

The Meeting at Springfield To-day
 Chief Battle of Michigan to Re Pres-
 ent with a Novel GaveI.
 At the opening of the national board of fire engineers which takes place to-day at Il a. m. at Springfield, Mass, Chief James Battle of Detroit, Mich, the president of the association, will call the convention to order with bright, new gavel presented to him by our worthy Chief Hendrick. This gavel is quite novelty in it's way, as well as possessing very unique appear ance. The head of it is composed of wood from the four sections of the country from which the various chiefs will be present, namely, the spruce from the north, cypress from the south, elm from the east and redwood from the west. The handle is made of maple, and on one side, set into it in bell shape, is piece of the bell which sounded the alarm for the great Chicago fire on that memorable evening in Octo- Der, 1871, when an area of some 2,100 acres, embracing nearly all the business portion of the city and very large num- Der of private residences, among which were the most costly in the place, were de- stroyed. More than 17,OOO buildings were consumed in this fire, the loss on buildings and property reaching the ap- palling sum of $190, 100000. Ninety eight thousand people were rendered home less, and over 200 were killed.

 only Temporary woolner Turns
 Up Safe-United Growers the Pre-
 ferred Creditors.
 The affairs of the Old Colony distillery assume a new phase every day. Adolph Woolner, jr, the president of the com pany, has turned up once more, after his mysterious disappearance. It is stated in his behalf that he has been visiting Flu rope. Another account says he has been at the Thousand Islands. A meeting of the directors will be held to-day to investi- gate the condition of the company's finances.
 A. H. Curiel, the partner of Woolner in the United Growers company, but who is not interested in the Old Colony company, gives his explanation of the recent attach ment: The Old Colony distillery had called upon the United Growers whenever in need of funds, and some S515, 5,O0O had been advanced in all. Of this all but $150, 900 had been paid back. About two | weeks ago they telephoned for S1, 2OO. te cancel a 5000 note. MT. Curiel, in the | rush of business, failed to telegraph tho amount until too late, and then knowing 1 that the unpaid note would be protested concluded to become the preferred credito'
 by attaching the plant for $15O,OO0 H, | accordingly telegrsphed his attorney ant | the plant was attached. He believes tha the affairs of the Old Colony will only b. | temporarily embarrassed.
