POLICE PATROL SYSTEM.

Chief Rogers Recommends It's Adop-
tion-MOre Omcers Needed Soon.
At "a special meeting of the police commissions
ers last evening all the members except Captain
Manning were present.
ing Policeman T. o Halloran, two weeks ago, for
officer was discharged from the force.
1t was recommended that public stands for L.
censed vehicles be established by the police at
the following places: Northern Pacific railroad
depot; docks A and B of Oregon Improvement
Company; Lake Shore & Eastern railroad de-
pot; Yeslsr's dock.
A communication was read from Chief Rogers,
recommending the introduction in this city Of
the police signal and patrol wagon system The
usefulness of the system was explained In de-
tail, and it was shown that great saving would
be made in the hack hire and hospital service
The chief thought that for the present the city
could get along with twenty signal boxes
temporarily by using twenty five wall boxes in
connection Herewith and the approximate
cost is 5000 s1l, 800 tor hfty- box outfit The
chief further stated that to sustain the efficiency
of the department il will otherwise be nsces-
sary to add ut least IL men to the force in Octo-
Der. This will make an increase In the expense
of the city OF $16,320 year. With the signal
system, six additional men only will be re-
quirsd, including those for the wagon, making
q total force of sixty-four men. In addition to
this the chief estimates that the hack and ex-
press wagon hire averages $50 month On mo-
ton it was decided TO recommend the commuui-
cation to the city council.
The commissioners adjourned to meet in rsgu-
lar session July Is.

A Rat Attacks . Policeman.
New York Tribune.

Frank Farrell, policeman of the Bed
ford avenue station, Brooklyn, was at
tackled by savage rat late on Saturday
night while sleeping on his cot in
the top story of the station build
ing. A few minutes before mid
night Farrell felt something moving about
his neck on the bed, and turning over on
his side, instinctively put up his right
hand to brush it away. At that moment,
as he was awaking the middle finger of
hfs right hand was bitten through to the
bone by large rat, which hung on saw
agely. Raising himself up in bed, the
policeman saw the rat and strove to
throw it off his hand, but it hung fiercely
to his finger. Farrell managed finally, by
striking the rat with his other hand, to
knock It from his finger, and it fell on the
foot of his cot. 1t had no sooner fallen on
the bedclothes than it jumped again
toward the officers face with all
the fury of mad dog, and
tried several times to bite him again.
Farrell managed to save himself from
these attacks. His cries awoke the other
policemen in the room, who jumped from
their cots and seizing their clubs attempt
ed to kill the rat The rat ran from the
room to the floor below, where it was
killed by Policeman Ridden, who stamped
IL to death

Tacoma wheat Elevators.
The Seattle & Montana Railway Company and
the Tacoma Warehouse and Elevator Company
have finally confirmed the action Of the North
ern Pacific Railway Company, and other large
corporations on the Sound, in regard to the best
means of protecting their extensive wharves
and trsstles against the terrible destruction
caused by the teredo Colonel w. P. Clough,
president OF the Great Northern Railway Com
pany prior to his late visit to Seattle, devoted
several months to the study OF this allimport-
ant question, experimenting with and examin-
ing thoroughly ali the various processes and
patents on the subject of pile protection. As
result of his researches, an order has been given
TO II. L. Outline & Co., OF this city, for Is, 500
yards and 1850 gallons OF the Patent P. d B.
Teredo-Proof material, all of which will be used
on the companys trestle along the water front.
The Tacoma Warehouse and Elevator Com
pany has also bought several thousand yards
for their wharf st Tacoma, which they intend
extending considerably, using this material on
all the piles they drive.
This process has now withstood the ravages OF
the marine insects for six years, and still re-
mains intact, without the slightest sign OF de-
terioration.
The work of covering the piles OF the Seattle
4 Montana trestle will be commenced immedt-
diately at Shepherd, Henry & Co.'S wharf, at the
foot of Pike street. and those interested in the
question will have an opportunity OF witness
ing the modus operandi.

schweinfurth, the Bogus Messiah.
Omaha Bee


Schweinfurth has been a blacksmith,
book agent and Methodist preacher.
About twelve years ago. while he was
preaching somewhere in Michigan, Mrs.
Beekman, from Kansas City, who was
laboring under the haIlucination that she
was to be the bride of Christ, met him and
told him that he was the Messiah. He
believed her and started out on his career.
The Methodists fired him incontinently.
de talked freely, even volubly, of his
lie and emotions as boy and young man.
de had always been good, very good. His
mother was very good woman. He had
all the temptations of other boys, but he
was glad to say that he had the remem-
brance OF never yielding to them. When his
youthful companions said bad words and
did evil things he left them. He grew up
plous and virtuous and expected to find
every body else of the same stamp. He was
saddened when he saw things as they
really were. He had venerated ministers.
He had regarded them as like the prophets
OF old. He was shocked when he found
them out. For time he was "too mod
est to tell people he was the Messiah, but
finally he overcame his diffidence and let
his light shine. He was getting wiser con-
stantly; God revealed things to him. A
little boy came to Schweinfurth and
asked him to cure his crippled leg,
saying his father had told him he
could do it. Schweinfurth asked the
child if his father had faith.
The boy said the father had and would
give $50 if the miracle was performed.
Schweinfurth told him to go and say to
his father that he did nothing for money,
but that if he had faith he would cure his
sons lameness. The boy returned with
the assurance that his parent had faith.
"Why didn't he come with you them"
was asked. The boy didn't know. Fin ally,
looking at the cripple, he said: "If you
believe. / can cure you. Pick up your
crutches and walk home" "Mayn't I
wait till ] get down stairs?" asked the
boy. Schweinfurth said yes" The lit
tie fellow got to the bottom of the stairs.
when his father carried him home. The
boy is still lame. He had no faith.
