The Middleton, Conn, Herald of Dec. 2Sth
contains an obituary notice of DR.. Rufus
Baker, who died at his home in that city that
morning, aged nearly II years. DR.. Bak-
er was a cousin of the late Hon. Thomas
Marshall of this city and had frequently Wis

and in early life was a teacher in Maine
schools. He graduated from the Columbian
Medical College, Washington, D. G., in 1912,
and continued his studies with Dr. Willard
Parker OF New York In 1913 he settled in
Deep River, Conn, where he remained un-
til 1860, when he removed to Middleton. The
Herald says "For more than 30 wears he
has been recognized among the first ply

Mr.. Reid has about as difficult job
as he had then. Mr.. Blaine is very
amiable man generally, but the one
aim and object of his life has been the
presidency of the United States, and
any man or set of men who have

mercy, sympathy or support from
him.
Mr.. Reid will likely find him as in
exorable as Coriolanus when his
mother met him at the head of an
army at the gates of Rome and plead
ed for that city. Rome had banished
him and he had no ear OF
mercy for her. Mr.. Harrison

The CRATE which liz Germany and
Austria is preferred to all others for
burning brown coal, especially OF the
more pulverulent kinds and the small
sizes or slack, for industrial purposes
and for making steam, is known as
the "Treppen-rost," step or stair
CRATE.
THE STEP CRATE.
The step CRATE, or stair CRATE, as it
is sometimes called, differs from the
flat CRATE in ordinary use at present in
it's greater angle of inclina-
ton and in the form and
position of the CRATE bars
themselves, as well as in the manner
of feeding.
In the ordinary CRATE, the bars
stand on their edge, run length wise of
the firebox, and the CRATE is horizontal,
or more rarely, slightly inclined. In
the step or stair gate the bars lie on
their side, run across the tirebox, and
the CRATE is inclined at an angle If 20
to 40 degrees.
This CRATE is intended for use with
all fuels which are in more or less
pulverulent condition-sawdust spent
tanbark, breeze or slack coal, etc., but
more especially for brown coal or lig-
mite, where a cheaper fuel is required
than that furnished by brignettes,
the changes necessary for the differ
ent sizes of the same fuel
being made by suitable
change in the angle of the
CRATE. The CRATES from which the
drawings which are here reproduced
were made are those in use at DON
nawitz, in Styria, where L found them

The measurements which are given in

In the first cut we have represented
in section the usual arrangements of

the sides and center of the furnace.

SOME facetious correspondent at
Waco sends the following informa
ton to the Galveston News:
Mr.. L. l.. Foster is here. He is a
mem Der of the board of managers of
the Baptist state Sunday school and
colportage convention and is check
ing up the Waco repository. Mr..
Foster has been busy with various
duties. Having a theological turn,
one local reporter states that she has
been appointed commissioner of the
Congo Valley railway to give long
haul rates on ostrich tails and ele-
plant tusks, from the eastern term
mus to the African west port cities,
with Sunday school literature billed
for TimbuctOo as side show"
1t is well that position so appro-
pirate to the taste and lines of duty
of our quandam commissioner is found
for him. 1t would not do for his chief
to accompany him to Timbuctoo. His
generous proportions of adipose
would be too great temptation to the
natives to use him for an ample break
fast, and then we would have to
mourn the break down of another
commission and Governor Hogg
would lose his platform maker.

Tom Brown consented to be shelved

1t says:
Holofernes Brown of Grayson, the
man with the nonpareil face and small
plea voice, is sly old fox. When the
gubernatorial fight first opened up
and had the appearance of being one
sided, he waltzed into the arena and
became the self-constituted god father
of the governor. When things began
to heat up, however, and it became
extremely hazardous for a man to
wager his scudi on the result, Hon,
Holofernes quietly retired from the
political pasture and ensconsed him.

TROUBLE IN THE REPUBLICAN
CAMP

There is trouble in the Republican
camp. Mr.. Blaine sulks in his tent
while ex.Speaker Reed is quite open
in expressions of dislike of Mr.. Har-
rison. The presidents friends are ex-
ceedingly annoyed by Mr.. Reeds re-
fusal in his speeches in Maine to men,
ton the presidential Republican
ticket, and some of them declare he
ought not to be invited by the nation
al committee to make speeches and
renew the affront to the president by
ignoring him.
However, others declare he must be
reconciled in some way, and Chair
man Carter has been delegated to
to personally interview him and try
to win him over to an earnest support
of the ticket. Chairman Carter has
undertaken a difficult job for if there
is one man in the United States dis
tinguished for unadulterated mule
head obstinacy it is Tom Reed, the
Car of the last congress.
Whitelaw Reid has also assumed
the role of the pacificator of the states
man from Maine, as he has long en-
joyed Mr.. Blaine's confidence as a
Washington correspondent and lat
terly editor OF The Tribune. White
aw is gifted with more than modest
iegree of self assurance and is perfect
ly willing, in his confidence in himself
to tackle anything. He tried mighty
hard to elect Mr.. Greedy president on

| At the top of the step grade and be-
low the T-beam against which it rests
there is sliding gate by which the
supply of fuel may be regulated or
entirely cut off. Above this is the
funnel or hopper into which the fuel
is thrown whence it feeds the fire as
regulated by the size of the opening at
ga" which is determined by the posi-
ton of the sliding gate.
The CRATE is, therefore, in meas
ure, self-feeding and from it's con-
struction is calculated to secure the
greatest possible efficiency from such
fuel as brown coal.
The firing of step-grate requires
far less exertion and intelligence than
is the case with the flat CRATE. AS the
step-grate does not clear itself of
ashes by their falling through, it is
necessary for the fireman to clear the
spaces from time to time.
The principal recommendation of
the step-grate is its great regularity
in burning and by proper regulation
of the draught combustion can be
made practically complete and smoke
less
AS stated at the beginning of the
article, the inclination of the CRATE is
varied according to the character of
fuel to be burned, the rule being the
finer the fuel the hi CHER the angle of
inclination, and conversely, the
coarser the fuel the fatter the CRATE.
The following figures give the de-
tails for this arrangement for the
different sizes of brown coal as used
at Donnawitz:
For slack coal No. 2 (passing
through mesh 3-S inch square):
Width of opening of hopper. 2H inches

This character of CRATE can be easily

ers at small expense, and with their
aid the brown alec or ignite being min
ed at Elgin, Lyle, Rockdale, Hearne
and elsewhere, can be used for MAX
ing steam just as it comes from the
mine, without any previous compress
