IT is said, that by the time the Columbian fair is opened at Chicago there will be running on some of the street car lines in that city new form of car which, if experimental running that has been carried on in Chicago for months past is to be trusted, will prove as far superior to the electric car as the electric car has shown itself to be su- perior to the horse car. The motor power used in these new type of cars is said to be simply superheated steam, or better, superheated water. The super heated water is to work engines situ- atcd close to the reservoir in which it is contained, and is kept up to the re- Quired heat or pressure with nOn-con ducting coverings, and by a very small fire. In this way a reservoir charged will, it is said, move the motor car drawing one or more additional cars for | a period of from five to eight hours, will run at any rate of speed from one to thirty miles an hour, and can be re- charged, if need be, in less than ten | minutes. The machinery of the motor is of the simplest kind, being on the direct and even principle of the loco motive, and has the merit of giving out neither smoke, sparks, nor ashes, and of making no noise whatsoever. Added to this is the small cost of original installa- ton, for, while simple power stations are needed, there is no demand for the expense of paraphernaIia for posts, feed wires and trolley wires. Furthermore, it is said that the cost of motive power per car mile is considerably less than half by this method than by that of the

THE collapse of the Iron Hall sounds the death knell of the mushroom endow- ment orders of which it was the father. It's members are taking their medicine like little men and have nothing to say. In the meantime the fraternal associa- tions are growing in numbers and use fulness. The endowment orders are as different from these fraternal bodies as night is from day. They approach the subject of mutability from a diametri- cally opposite standpoint. The idea of the fraternal associations is that the con- tributions of the active members shall be used to assist the unfortunate. The idea of the endowment associations is that the contributions that have been made in the past by the unfortunate members shall be used to benefit and as- sist the active and continuous members. The first takes from the strong to give to the weak; the latter takes from the weak to give to the strong. This may be fraternal, but it is that species of fra ternity, expressed by the statement that the tiger shall lie down with the lamb that is, with the lamb inside of the tiger.

RESERVE FUNDS TO BE POOLED

The 1900 Lodges in the Country Have
 Over a Million Dollars, and If This Sum
 Can Re Utilized the Order VIII Be
 Reorganized.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 29.-The determin- ation of the visiting members of the Iron Hall to call meeting of representatives of all the branches throughout the coun- try for Sept. 12 and endeavor to resur- rect the order, is causing great activity among local members and they generally agree that something in the way of order may be brought out of the chaos of af- fairs.
 There are 200. local branches, which have reserve funds aggregating 1,3OO,- 900. If this sum can be utilized by the new order it is believed that it will be maintained.
 c. B. Feibleman, who is at the head of the movement in this city, said to-day that he expected all the branches to be represented either by credited delegates or by proxy, in the meeting, and the first step will be in the direction of making radical reforms in the constitution.
 If the meeting agrees to continue the order the supreme officers will be form ally deposed and new officers elected The meeting will then ask the court to res cind the several orders recently made and restore the property to the new order. It is the purpose of local members to present all the facts relating to Somerby's $ methods to the grand jury, which meets | one week from to-day, and ask that he be indicted. One thousand two hundred circular letters addressed to the secretar- ies of the local branches were sent out to- | day, and the projectors of the meeting | believe that nearly all will be represented.

THERE are reasons for the belief that the administration is doing all it can to have the date for the meeting of the in ternational monetary conference set so late in the fall as to make it certain that the result of the conference cannot be known before the presidential election, in order that republican stump speakers and editors may have an opportunity to influence voters by pre- tending to forecast that result. Mir Harrison and his friends who are managing this. campaign will have a much more exalted opinion of the in- telligence of the American voters, on the morning of the ninth of next No vember, than they appear to have at the present time.

CLEVELAND, O., June 25.-Late Fri
day afternoon two cars loaded with
police were run out Euclid avenue to
Lake View. The first was in charge of
Louis Reilstein, assistant secretary of
the East Cleveland Company. When
the strikers saw it they were furious
They hooted at Reilstein and attempted
to drag him from the car. The police
then charged the crowd. A saloon
keeper named John Moody and Ed
ward Barber, striking conductor,
were struck on the head. Moody was
taken home, but Barber was locked
up. Affairs were serious for awhile,
but the men soon quieted down and no
more trouble was experienced. for the
reason, perhaps, that no more attempts
were made to run cars The East
Cleveland people announce their de-
termination to start cars this MORN
ing, if possible, under police protec-
ton.
At o'clock p. m. squad of Pinker-
ton men, brought from Chicago by the
East Cleveland Company, marched to
the Lake View barns. The strikers as.
sembled there intercepted them and
asked their business. An alteration
followed, in which, the strikers
claim, Edward Eldred, one of
the Pinkerton men, shot at Matt
Boufford. one of the motormen,
the ball passing through his coat near
the groin. The crowd closed in on the
Pinkertons, who fed and scattered
toward clump of woods. Eldred was
picked up shortly afterward near the
barns with two broken ribs and two
long gashes in his head. He was sent
TO hospital. The mayor has ordered
the company to send the Pinkerton
zen out of the city on penalty Of with

The EN- bezzlements of the present year
to date amount to the large sum of S3,
$685. At first sight this would seem
to indicate a general disregard of all
the canons of honesty and a serious
trend of this old world into the ways of
evil. But the cloud has its silver lin
ing AS an offset to this financial de-
pravity the donations of generous peo-
pie to charities of various kinds, in
sums not less than $4,000, amount to
date to S12, ,75O,50O. Thus philanthropy
travels four times faster than rascality.
