BIRGE'S I.ONANzA.
Clever Device Patented by the
, superintendent of Police
Alarms.

NiC'OH DCNiCO dtcHCcu Dy the
superintendent of Police
Alarms.
Supt. E. e. Birge, of the police tele-
graph alarm system, yesterday received
from the patent office III Washington
letters patent for new and improved
mechanical device for opening stable
doors and releasing horses in fire
engine houses. Mr.. Birge has
been working for a long time
oil his device. and is to be congratulated
upon receiving his patent, tor, in the
language of the late Col. Mulberry Sell
lers. there's millions i'm it." The de-
vice Is very simple, and has operated
very successfully for the past few
months in the patrol wagon barns of
the police stations in the city. 1t is
destined TO take the place of the
Bragg GoOr-opener, now in general use
in the flre engine houses of all large
cities. The Bragg opener is very in
tricate. SuDt. Birge's device works in
contraction with the wheels of the
electro mechanical gong. AS soon as
the Current is applied and the wheels
move TO set the hammer striking, at that
instant small steel bar which runs
through the frame work and rests
III cog OF the wheel is released. At the
otner END OF the bar small catch Oh a
steel rod at right angles to it is also re-
leased. This sets free the bar which
drops down by a heavy weight attached.
The dropping of the bar and weight
opens the stable doors by means of
wires running from the top of the bar
TO the catch locks. The device is also
used for closing outer doors of engine
| houses. \ number of law suits have been
brought by Mr.. Bragg against cities
using his device, and in California, In
diana and Pennsylvania he has secured
decisions in his favor and recovered
damages for iniringements on his pat
ent. ST. Paul i5 at present using in the
hre department a dOOr-Opening device
which Mr.. Bragg claims is his inven-
ton, and it will be seen that Supt.
| Blrge is entitled to great credit
in SECURING letters patent for
his device. He has already re-
ceived number of offers of
| purchase of his patent. but he is in no
hurry TO sell just at present. 1t is un-
derstOod that Chicago and New York
will adopt the new device in the event
of Mr.. Bragg winning the 100000 dam
age suits which he has brought against
the two cities for using what lie claims
to be his property.

MINNEAPOLIS WINS
Leaving st. Paul Slightly Ahead in
Whist Points.


When the st. Paul Chess, Checkers
and Whist club went to Minneapolis
last night it was with the determination
to put their lead beyond question in the
whist contest. Man proposes When
the score was figured up Minneapolis
had reduced the lead to rs for the three
evenings. This is very close in over
5000 points played. Eighteen teams
took part in the game and all exactly
even number won OH each side. but the
heavy winnings went to the MillerS,
and they overshadOwed St. Paul fifty
nine points. Orr and Pike, who have
done well heretofore, surpassed them
selves and scored forty-two points
advantage, but their gain was almost
lost by Brand and Sempler. Handy and
Sperry, and NettletOn and Allen have
dropped respectively to second and
third places. An analysis of the score
seems to indicate that the players who
have practiced the most and who
played last year are doing the heavy
winning. For Minneapolis, John Briggs
and DIR. Towers are still keeping in the
van, although closely pressed by some
of the other teams. Mr.. Briggs is
fortunate in at last obtaining player
whose luck matches his SKILL He has
had more bad cards in conjunction with
good play than any other Minneapolis
players.
The next game will take place in st.
Paul on the 2lst. The score follows in

FIGHTING FOR COAL.
Lake Steamers in Hard Lines for

Fuel.
CHICAGO. Nov, 14.-An evening pa
per says: The coal famine caused by
the strike IN the coal fields is assuming
a very serious aspect for lake steamers.
There is not pound of coal to be had
at Michigan City or South Chicago, and
the supply here is so limited that some
steamers have been held twenty-four
hours waiting for fuel. Whenever
they are going down the lake, and it is
possible to do so, they take on partial
supplies here. then run up into Milwau-
kee to secure enough for the trip.
There was nearly a riot this morning at
0. S. Richardson's, dock over the divis-
ion of few cars which had been re-
ceived during the night. Advices from
Cleveland state that it will be impossi-
BILE to get any soft coal by water the
balance of the season.

MAY BE NECESSARY
For the School Board to Summar-
lily Maintain Its Dignity.


A member of the school board was
seen last evening in reference to state
ment in all afternoon paper to the effect
that some of the janitnrs had been
wronged in the amount of their salaries,
and delay in payment of same. He
said: The statement as published is
absolutely without foundation; but [
have neither time nor disposition to 60
into particulars. The board of school
inspectors are honorable men. and while
they are Interested in economy. they
are equally anxious to treat every en-
ploye with perfect justice. ANY COM
plants which are TO be made should be
sent to them through the proper chan
mel, and Will receive prompt attention:
but the board will not settle such dis
putes through the newspapers. A few
of the employees seem to be entirely deS-
tltute of the cOurteSieS due to those in
charge OF the school interests, and if
they do not reform, and at once, there
will be nothing left to maintain the self
respect of the board but to dispense
with their services. Upon this subject
the board is unit, and its members Will
be found to be very much i'll earnest.

MINNEAPOLIS THE WINNER.
Last Nights Indoor Base Ball
Game Interesting.

Last Nights Indoor Base Ball
Game Interesting.
Indoor base ball and hilarity ram
pant are synonymous. This assertion
will never be denied by those who wit
messed the game in the armory last
evening. Perhaps it would be speaking
by the card to say participated" rather
than witnessed" however. for if last
nights experience is a fair criterion. TO
witness is to participate. At all events,
the hilarity In its blooming fullness
would have been absent were it not for
the wild demonstrations by the crowd.
There were now and then pauses when
everybody was as still as the proverbial
mouse. but these little diversions in
variably happened when the visiting
boys showed disposition 10 outplay
the home team. And this was perfectly
proper, too, and in full accord
with the incipient lessons of
patriotism taught by the in
itial meeting Of the commercial cl ub.
AS DR.. Murphy said, Everybody must
be all st. Paul" the audience at the
armory were all st. Paul with an ex-
clamatiOn point. Yelling was clrni-
val, and the boy fortified by nature with
strong PAIR Of lungs was in his ele
ment. Three times the players were
compelled to suspend operations be-
cause of the cheering, the hoOting and
the yelling. Stationed away back near
the door. was the only Jack Crooks, and
his fog horn" drowned out the lesser
voices. 1t was a racket, all in all, that
would put bedlam TO the lOOSeSt sort of
lark to come within hailing distance.
1t was the first games in this city in
the National Guard league, and the con-
testants were Company E, of this city,
and Company |. of Minneapolis. The
Minneapolis boys seemed to-be the bet
ter skilled i'll the game-lf there is really
any Skill III the thing-fOr they walked
away with the bun after nine hot-fOught
innings. Bruises and sore shins and
bumped seats were carried away from
the hall about equally divided between
the combating companies, but real SOL
dierS don't care for such trlfies. Boys
that are supposed to be made of the
stuff that will walk them up defiantly in
time of war and sheer in the mouth of a
cannon never finch when it comes to
smashing into each other like twooppOS-
ing rams Oh frOtic. They pounded the
polished floor with an aptitude that
commended them for their mauling at
tributes.
Inc climax wdS reached when St.
Paul boy with little more vim than his
cOmpecrs raped the big ball INTO the
gallery for home run-but umhappiiy
he couldn't have the run, for. under the
rules, he was placed back on second
base. But the crowd shrieked its APP
plause just the same and it was a gay
time. The warning teams were:
