Made Historic.
Heroism like that displayed by the Chi.
cago fremen at the recent burning Of the
cold storage warehouse in the Worlds fair
grounds deserves to be made historic, One
cannot read of it without a thrill Of min
gled admiration and sorrow, and it almost
reconciles' a man to death to know that
men can face the king Of terrors so bravely.
There is no need to recount the particu.
lars of the fire. The nation knows them.
But the heroic conduct of the firemel
should be embalmed among the precious
memories Of the generations of men. 1t is
thus described In the Chicago Herald by
an eyewitness.
A score or more Of men had clambered
up the winding stairs of the tower to the
top balcony, where $50 feet above the earth
the yellow flames were curling about tho
cupola. Suddenly the fire burst through
the white sides of the tower midway its
height. The treacherous element had eat

THE meeting Of the Grand Army at
indianapolis will be the largest of that
body that can ever be held. In the
course of nature the Army will now
begin to wane. The reunions will
heneeforth become pathetic, and We
are not sure that they will maintain
their interest. Advancing years mean
sympathy, and sympathy is not what
reasonable men crave. 1t is twenty
eight years since the war closed. The
Grand Army under its present organi-
zation should have an existence until
well on in the next century. We read
the other day that there were still five
survivors Of tue battle Of Waterloo in
France who were entitled 10 wear the
st. Helena medal and draw a weekly

Army should, -four American soldiers
areas long-llved as the French, have
representatives in the enjoyment OF

Is q Railway Enthusiast.

And so it was with pretty much
every section of the ordinance Mr..
Haines objected to. He knows his
business thoroughly, takes his
ground well, and generally gets
there. An ARGUS representative
who had pleasant chat with him on
a train coming into Rock Island last
night found that street railways was
a great hobby with him, and quite
a profitable one, too. He owns a
great many systems. is an en-
thusiast on the subject, and as fast
as he acquires franchise he
improves the road and equips it with
electricity, if it is not already so
equipped. Thus the cities of Free
port and Iowa City have been bene-
fitted by this railway enthusiast just
as the cities of Rock Island, Daven-
port and Moline have profitted by
the investment here of the Chicago
capitalists. While pleased with what
he saw of the tri-city electric system
Mr. Haines was surprised that cleo
trio cars are excluded from the
bridges between Rock Island and
Davenport.

HAS A BIG HOBBY.
Congressman Charles D. Haines
on Railways.
HE OWNS MANY OF THEM

HE OWNS MANY OF THEM.
lie was in Rock Island Last Night His
Way From Freeport to Iowa City at Both
of which Cities He Owns Valuable Fran
chises-Is Greatly Interested in Electric
Equipments.
Congressman Charles ID. Haines, of
Kinderbrook, representing the Nine
teenth district of New York in the
lower branch of the national legisla-
his way from Freeport to Iowa City,
at both of which cities he owns valu-
able street railway franchises. Not
long since Mr.. Haines acquired pos
session of the street railway at Free
port, now operated by horse power,
and his recent visit to that city was
to secure the passage OF an ordinance
permitting him to equip the system
with electricity. The council of that
city held an important special ses-
sion Monday evening to consider the
matter. 1t took two hours to read
the ordinance by sections. and the
Bulletin says of Mr.. Haines: The
gentleman is sharp. shrewd bust
ness man and he is not overlooking
ANYTHING that will prove to be to his
interest. He listened with the ut
most patience to the proceedings last
night and coolly and calmly made
his objections to what he thought
would prove to be detrimental to his
own interests. He is a forcible and
entertaining speaker; he speaks
slowly and not in a passionate
strain"
Objectionable Sections
After detailing number of sec
tions to which Mr.. Haines took eX-
ception and the adjusting of the
same, one of which extended his fran
chise from 20 to 80 years, the Bulle-
tin says:
When the clerk read the thirteenth
section of the ordinance Mr.. Haines
was very attentive and when the
clerk had finished reading it he said
that it was an imposition on himself
and the company that he represents.
The provision of the ordinance is
that the street car company shall be
responsible for any and all accidents
that shall occur along the line of the
system, thus leaving the city exempt
from damage suits that might follow
accidents. Haines claims that there
is not an ordinance in force any
where that places the above restric-
tions on n railroad company. He
saws that the statutes of the state do
not show such a state OF affairs. Mr..
Stearns argued that the section was all
right and that if it is omitted from
the ordinance the city may become
responsible for accidents that might
occur. To this Mr.. Haines said that
all corporations are sued before n
city. If an accident happens on a
railroad passing through Freeport,
the people never sue the city. 1t is
the corporation that they look to for
their damages. Mr.. Haines' objec-
ton to the section in the ordinance
received a tie vote among the alder
men on the call of the ayes and nays,
and Mayor Neiman settled the ques-
ton by voting to knock the section
out.

sented nine colour photographs
obtained by NJ. NJ. Lumiere of

objects reproduced were chromos,

Importance. as it shows that a
number of colours NAV be re-
produced, even when of the most
delicate tints. NJ. Lippmann
has been able to reduce the time

to few seconds; he is also ex-
