FIRE FINANCES SHY.
The Board Looking for a Moses to
Lead 1t Out.

The board of fire commissioners is
short just $1,000 of the amount neces-
sary to conduct the department until
the close of the year This information
was received at their meeting yesterday
afternoon in communication from
Comptroller McCardY. He stated that
Su,7S1 was now to their credit
and was all that could be
drawn upon the present year. The
commissioners had been aware of this
fact several days ago and appealed to
the city attorney for way out of the
difficulty. A letter was read from him
yesterday, advising them to 90 before
the city council and there find relief.
The board did not take any action on
the matter. but decided to hold a special
meeting within the next few days and
arrange to send i'll a communication
to the council asking that some
action be taken in the premises. Ac-
cording to Comptroller McCardy's mo
tion." however, the council cannot do
anything for the commissioners, as he
has fully posted himself on all the ways
and means of the various city depart
ments, and the fire board is in very
bad hole, from which only special in
tervention of providence can rescue 1t.
The commissioners transacted the
usual amount of routine business. Chief
Jackson reported that eight fire alarm
boxes had been burned ont by Sunday
nights storm. Bills to the amount of
Sl,700 were allowed, and the board adj

A PRETTY BLACKSMITH.
A California Girl at the Hot Blast
and Anvil.

Almost any day pretty Ray Beveridge,
of San Francisco, may be found deep in
the study of problems in welding and
forging over her hot blast and anvil in
the smithy annex of the Coggs we'll
polytechnic, where she is learning the
trade from Instructor Mathis, says the
Chicago Post.
1t is not to the more common branches
of blacksmithing that Miss Beveridge
is giving her attention. Her purpose is
to become accomplished in the making
of ornamental forged ironwork, in
which it is rare to find any single piece
that canuot readily be manipulated by
a woman, or, if when an ornament must
be put together and finished. greater
strength is needed, there are sings and
cranes and other devices in plenty
which enable the woman still to be mis-
tress of the situation.
The California worlds fair commits
Sioners have invited her to come to Chi
cago and set up her forge. The precise
place in the exposition to which she will
be assigned is not known, but the man.
aging directors of the fair have eX-
pressed qualification at this unique eX-
hibit. and have promised that suitable
provision shall be made for Miss Bever-
idge and her workshop. A place near
or in the machinery department would
be preferred by the lady in order that
she may utilize steam power as much as
possible, but she is willing to go under
any inconvenience. and will do so. At
Chicago she will demonstrate her ability
to do work that will sell for good prices,
and thereby prove that in one form Of
artisanship at least woman may be self
sustaining. Another of her seif-impoSed
duties will be to show and explain the
methods used in accomplishing her
work, so that their simplicity may be
generally understood and her example
followed by other women.
1t is the belief of NJ iss Beveridge that
in designing curious and attractive iron
ornaments womanly fancy will prove
itself more alert ana dainty than that of
man, and thereby both increase present
demands for such handiwork and create
new markets. AS pant of her scheme OF
manual education she is to study de-
signing, drawing and modelling, and she
is encouraged in thinking that she may
rise above medlocriJy because her pres
ent experience has shown that she is
gifted with fine appreciation of form.
relations and color. When TO such
natural adaptations the lady has added
the finish of the sch6 OILS she will call
herself a blacksmith, but not before.

WILL WAIT FOR REFS
Before Tack!ing Iiller'S Letter
Emergency Bills Cont Go.


The claims committee of the assem-
bly, tackled part of the communica-
ton of City Treasurer Miller yesterday
afternoon. The por ion considered was
in reference to hiring two additional
clerks to prepare the assessment books
in the office according to Mr.. Miller's
idea of bookkeeping. w. p. Murray,
who represented eX-Treasurer Refs,
said that gentleman was at present out
of the city, and he would for that reason
ask for poStponement until his re-
turn.
Assemblyman Pike wouldn't listen to
this, but demanded that the two clerks
be appointed or be. recommended to be
appointed at once. Mr.. Murray said if
there was anything out of the way in
the keeping of the assessment books
Mr.. Miller could just as well have re-
ported when Mr.. Refs was in the city
and not have waited until the eX-treaS-
urer was away to spring the alleged or
implied derelictions. Both Mr.. Lightner
and Mr.. johnson were in favor of laying
the matter over until Mr.. Refs returned
home, and, despite the objection of Mr..
Pike, it was so ordered.
The committee. with the intention to
make it more easy to obtain pay for
goods furnished the city, will recon-
mend the passage of the following reso-
luton:
For the purpose of avoiding unnecessary
delay in the auditing and payment of the
pay rolls and other just claims against the
city, all claims and pay rolls which have
first been audited by the com ptroller may
be presented to the committee on claims and
accounts for consideration before the same
have been presented to the assembly.
The resolution which was passed by
the board of aldermen, allowing pur-
chaseS when absolutely necessary in the
departments without reQuisition, was
referred to the corporation attorney for
an opinion. Mr.. Lightner claimed that
while the theory might he all right. the
Bell charter did not allow such action.
and he was not in favor of ordering the
head of any department to break the

PROFITED NOBODY.
Gaul's Perjury Availed Nothing
GibSon'l Verdict Sustained.

GauIS Perjury Availed Nothing
Gibson's Verdict Sustained.
The court has denied the motion Of
the 500 road for new trial in the Glib
son case and others. Frank Gaul's
crime of perjury was of little profit to
the 500 Railway company, and posi-
tive loss to the seit-confessed liar. Gaul
was the witness in the personal injury
case of Charles Gibson against the 500
road who admitted while on the witness
stand of having wilIfully lied in the
former trial of the case. Judge Brill,
before whom the case was being tried,
waited until Gaul had finished his testi-
mOnv, and then committed him 10 Jail
for perjury. Gaul is now serving sem
tence III the state refOrmatOry.
Gibson, the plaintiff, had been hurt
while working as locomotive engineer
for the railway company by the slipping
OF his seat. He was thrown to the floor
and his spine injured. On the first trial
of the case Gaul. as Giuson's fireman at
the time of the accident. was an impOr-
tant witness for the plaintiff. Gibson
recovered verdict, and the company
got new trial on the ground that two
of plaintiffs material witnesses had
testified falsely. Frank Gaul made an
tlIdI Ills Ou tllol
was untrue and that his statements had
been made out of friendship and SYM
pathy for Gibson. On the second trial
he again said that his statements during
the first trial had been false, and he
testified to facts that, had they been
true, would have been favorable TO the
railroad company.
The jury in the second trial gave Glib
son verdict for $4,000. The company
again made motion for new trial
aud Judge Brill filed an order yesterday
denying the motion. In the memoran-
DUN of opinion the judge said: This
case has been tried twice. each trial re-
suting in verdict for the plaintiff.
The issues were for jury, and the YER
dict is not SO manifestly against the
weight Of tie evidence as to warrant
the court in setting it aside. The jury
found, in effect, that Gaul and Btilaire
told the truth upon the former trial and
testified falsely at this trial. If this
finding was correct-and have little
doubt it was-then the jury was war
ranted, under the circumstances of the
case, in finding for the plaintiff upon all

The poker stare is the newest fad at

look. The mouth is drawn straight
across the face. and the lips are held

| SO that they neither dilate with eXulta-
! ton nor contract with anxiety. The
| eyelids must wink with geat regularity,
and the brow be as placid as day in

the game of poker. is holding four aces

A friend recently told me of an Incl
dent which occurred On a farm near
Topeka, Kan. which illustrates the in
telligence Of mule, says a writer in
the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat. He
owned a number Of these animals, and
kept them in pasture surrounded by
an ordinary plank fence. In the next
Enclosure was field of growing oats,
and the mules, not being able to under
stand why they should he kept away
from the oats, repeatedly broke down
the barrier and feasted. He final

and the mules, trying to get into
the oat field, severely scratched
themselves with the barbS. They gave
up the effort, and he considered the vic
tory won. So it was, but the mules had
learned more than he gave them credit
for. A few months later he found it
necessary to divide his pasture, and ran
line OF posts through the center of it,
intending to put the wires in position
the next day. But the wire did not
come, and he was advised that it would
not arrive for several days.
He let the posts stay, but going out
one day to drive his mules from one side
of the pasture to the other, he found it
impossible to drive them through the
line OF posts. They would run up and
down the line, but not mule would
venture through. They could not see
any wires, but that was evidently not

arrived at the lake late one night. 1t
was warm and clear, and everybody
had gone away somewhere. He wanted
to 60 in swimming, so he sought dark
little cove, and. as no one was in sight,
dispensed with bathing suit, but kept
strictly in the shadow. In the midst of
his enjoyment he was Mortified by the
sound of two feminine voices. He sub
meged himself to the tip of his blush
ing nose just as two young women he
knew came skipping 10 the shore, and
pumped themselves down in the moon
light. He stood in the water and
Quaked for what he says was all hour.
Then one said:
"Oh. Maude, isn't this lovely?"
Its perfect night. Wen never
have better chance; never!'

Horrors! What were those awful
girls going to do? If you can fancy cold
drops of perSpiration starting out on

felt. A horrible fear flashed over him,
and it became an awful certainty when
the voice went on:

"Why, what conventional girl you
are. Ii you're such 'fraid cat. we can

Then that man lifted up his voice-or
at least he says he did-and screamed.

There were two sudden screams. and
one mad rush for the rock. and then

remain where you are. sir.''
And the shivering man chattered:

WASHINGTON. Aug. S.-There will be
very considerable shaking up among
high-salaried officials of the bureau of
geological survey day after tomorrow,
when the reductions imposed by the
sundry civil bill will be carried into eff
feet. Nearly forty members of the
present force will be asked to resign,
two-thirds of them being scientists en-
ployed on special works Tine list in
cludes three $4,000 biologists, one
$4,000 geologist.two $4,000 biologists, one
$4,000 geolOgist, one $1,000 chemist, two
$3.50 geographers. one $4,000 tOpOgra-
pher and one $1,000 official classed as
general assistant. These are dropped
altogether. The salary of the paleon-
tologist is cut down from 81, 900 to 81. 600,
and twenty-six other employees will
also have to submit to a reduction of
pay.
Maj. Powell, chief director of the bu-
reau, says that six of the biologists
thus summarily disposed of have vol
unteered to stay and complete the work
they are engaged upon without present
compensation, and seventeen others
have already secured professorships in
various colleges and other educational
institutions. Headd's reduction of
force will compel him to drop some
branches of the work upon which
he is engaged. but he believes he will
be able to struggle along until congress

Comptroller McCardy didn't think it
necessary, as the law did not allow the

BLAMED THE COMPANY.
Result of the Inquest in the Kill
ing of Funk.

ing of Funk.
The cOrOner'S inquest on the body of
Henry Funk who was killed by a cable
car at the corner Of Seventh street and
Broadway Friday was held yesterday
afternoon. The testimony of the men
at work with Funk was to the effect that
cars were run every seven minutes up
to ) o'clock. After that time additional
cars are put on which cut the time down
to three minutes between cars.
Their opinion was that Funk
had forgotten about the three
minute schedule. The gripman,
w. H. Carter, testified that he did not
see Funk. A woman passenger on the
first seat of the car and a child,
who accompanied her. saw Funk
in the manhole, but supposed he knew
of the approach of the car and intended
TO remain in the hole until the car
passed.
The fact was brought out that no flag
was put up in the slot. as is usually
done when men are at work in the man
holes.
The jury returned verdict that the
street railway company or its officials
were negligent in not providing suf-
ficient precautions at the place where
Funk met his death.
