THE CITY's RELIEF FUND.
Ahe Mayor Busy Attending to the Wants
of the Poor.

Mayor Hall yesterday was busy holding a re-
ception for the poor. Since the city council de-
vowed upon the mayor and the board OF public
WORKS the duty of handling the city's relief
iunos, THESE officials have had their hands quite
full.
u have been applied to for aid many times in
the last few days. said Mayor Hall yesterday,
and some of the tales poured into my ears re-
veal distress and poverty of the most pitiful
character. In nine eases out OF ten, however,
upon proper investigation We find that the suf-
ierers are newcomers who arrived here without
means, and for whose relietthe city is now petit.
uoned We cannot say tothese people go and
starve, so we are doing the best we can.
ut shows, think, a noble spirit that the city
Is willing to do this, and that il is able to do it
without hurt, is evidence of Seattles stability.
Wherever we can We find work for the appli-
cants, fully believing that that charity is the
most effective which aids a man to dispense
with the need of public assistance"

BULLENE's SWIVEL NOZZLE.
A Simple Machine That Could BE Oper-
ated With Good Effect.

Captain G. w. Bullene had on exhibition at
the office of the board of public works yesterday
Il swivel nozzle which owes its origin TO his in
ventive brain. Captain Bullene claims that his
nozzle is simple in construction, will weigh
only about 60 pounds, that its cost will not ex-
coed $500, and that it can be directed toward any
point with dispatch and absolute accuracy.
The water is received through the center of the
nozzle from the stand pipe, and runs in tube
on either outer side, with equal pressure in all
directions, and is finally forced out through q
four-inch mouth or nozzle. 1t is so constructed
that when pointed in certain direction it will
remain there until moved by the operator. One
man can operate the machine with ease
The plans have been warmly commended by
all who have examined them. The inventor,
however, was informed yesterday that Boston
firm had patented the same idea in 1881. Cap
tain Bullene has applied for patent, and will
soon learn if the idea has been discovered be-
fore not

two thousand candle power, double
Brush automatic arc lamps, to be placed
on the Company's yards and around the

other enterprises.
