LANGER'S INVENTION.
A New SmOke-Consuming Apparatus
for Locomotives.


for Locomotives.
A few invited guests witnessed Yesterday
the trial of new smoke consuming appa-
Iatus, which, according to all appearances, is
destined to cause radical changes in the opera
tiOn of railways. The inventor of the appa-
ratus, who was introduced TO them, is the
mechanical engineer of the Northwest Railway,
TheOdor LANCER. The management OF the
Northwest Railway kindly placed at his dis
posal the speciai train which conveyed the
guests from Vienna to Znaim distance OF ] 90
kllometerS, on yesterdays trial trip.
The director OF the railway company, Court
Councillor DR.. Eyer, received the invited
guests at the Northwest Railway station At
O'Clock In the morning all these gentle
men entered the cars. he two cars imme-
diately behind the locomotive were open. and
the occupants were able, consequently, to
observe closely the working OF the new appa-
ratus. II was shown that the locomotive,
even wheC running at high rate OF speed
h0ur-emitted only clear water steam, but
not smoke, sparks or cinderS. Although
usually a person In an open Talway-car is
covered with cinders and dirt from the loco
motive, lhe gentlemen who rode on the special
train from Vienna TO Znaim yesterday, not
excepting the ones who rode on the loco
motive. found at the end OF the journey that
their. coats, linen and hands were as clean as
when they started. On the train itself a
person had the enjoyable experience of
moving about aud getting up and down without
SUlliDR MS NdDuS. III me closed carriage the
windows were kept open without exposing any
body to cinders or smoke. All the guests were
loud In their praise Of the inventor. OF the
understanding apparatus the following ex-
PLANTATION was given.
After years of observation Mr.. LANCER sue
ceeded 10 explaining with theoretical correct.
ness the complicated processes Of heat power.
In harmony with this law he placed
outside the boiler an automatic dsvice
which supplies the fire with just enough
air TO make possible the consumption
OF the smoke and gas. In the space
over the fire a steam veil operates
IN such manner that the air and the gas are
Whirled together and thoroughly mixed. The
gas, which has thus been burned, is then forced
against the boiler. and its heat giving power
is utilized to the best possibility. The
great advantages OF this process are plain.
Besides enectlng great saving OF heating
matelialS-estimated at 10 to % per cent-lt
enables railway company TO do away with
the dlsagreeable and unhealthy smoke einders
and gas which are emitted by locomotives of
The usual type, for the locomotives provided
with the LANCER smoke consuming device give
out only the pure steam necessary TO operate
them This device has been ap-
piled on thirty five locomotives (most
OF Them IN the express-train service) of the
Northwest Railway, aud after trials extending
over two years has been found in every way
satisfactory. More locomotives are provide d
with it by the Northwest Company almost
every month. Other companies which have
tested the invention report equally good re-

REEDS MISTAKE.
f1e Thought He Knew the TalIest
Man in the House.

Ex.Speaker Reed was stretched out on a
sofa in the House and Representative Bynum
was writing letters. Representative Berry OF
Kentucky passed by.
II should say" said Bynum TO Reed, In an
off.hand way, that Berry was the tallest man
in the House."
A look of ineffable scorn fitted across the
face OF Mr.. Reed. "Bynum," he said, "wny is
1t that have always TO go around dispensing
Information TO the Democratic side. Don't you
know that Curtis of New YORK is the tallest
man in the House? Bynum. l am surprised at
your ignorance" And Mir. Reed settled back
on the sofa as il he had settled the question for.
ever and forever.
II am willing to pin my faith on Berry," said
ByDum quietly.
''WeH'' spoke up Reed, 'if you viii be fool

who had overheard the wager awaited the
result. Tho New Yorker and the Kentuckian
came up tOgether-Mr. Curtis tall and straight,
Mr. Berry STOPPING slightly. There was no
question as TO who was the taller.

triumph; "what did tell you?"
But at that moment Mr.. Berry, having heard
the question at issue. began to unfold himself,
so to speak, like the swan.nech ed woman in
the dime museum. His long legs Strengthened

How can party consistently disap-
prove of the bringing of pauper classes
to this country "to take the place of
citizen laborers" and at the same time ia
vor the bringing of the products of pauper
classes to this country to compete with
the products Of citizen laborers? The plat
form of the Maine Democrats declared
in favor of restricting immigration in
order TO prevent the bringing of paupers
here to take the place of citizen laborers
that is to say in order to protect our
laboring men from the disastrous COM
petition Of men who by reason of ability
or disposition TO live cheaper could work
for less wages, At the same time it
endorsed the Chicago Democratic plat
form which declares that all protection
of the products of workingmen of this
country against the products of the work
ingmen of other countries is robbery,
and must be stopped. Now what good
is it going to do the operatives in our
mills and factories to prevent the i'm
portation of foreign operatives who will
work for less wages than they if the
products Of these cheaper operatives are
going to be admitted without any re-
striction whatever to compete with SINH
lar products of our own higher paid
labor? Are not the wages of our own
operatives going to be cut down just as
surely by the admission of the products
of the lower paid operatives of Europe
az by the admission of the opera

ANOTHER GREAT STRIKE.

Hardly is the strike of the coal miners.
which has seriously affected Industrial
occupations for many.weeks past, settled
when another great labor contest arises
that is liable to affect more men and be
more widely felt by people in no way con-
cerned in it than the coal strike The
contest has just begun, yet 10000 men
are already out. The present strike OF
boycott had its origin in the works OF
The Pullman Palace Car Company, and
started from reduction of the wages of
the employees. Whether the reduction
was necessary or not is impossible to
determine. The company say it was,
the employees say it was not. At any
rate the employees struck and appealed
TO the employees of the rail roads that
use Pullman cars to assist them, by boy
cotIng this class of cars The railroad
men responded, and most of the great
through lines were notified that il they
persisted in using Pullman cars their
employees would strike. One road aban-
doned the obnoxious cars, but the most
OF them paid no. attention to the notiti-
cation. The result is that most of the
through lines running out of Chicago
are tied up completely or greatly imped-
ed in their operations The Knights OF
Labor organization has agreed to assist
in the boycott, and several others of
the big labor unions have the
matter under consideration. There is
every prospect that the strike will extend
east and west from Chicago and soon
affect the through lines throughout their
entire length. With the close of the
week it is estimated that 100, 900 railroad
employees will be out.
So far as the railroad employees are con-
cerned the strike is purely sympathetic
one. They have no grievance of their
own, but have struck simply for the
purpose of coercing the Pullman Car
Company into submission to the demand
OF their employees Of course if the
strike continues any considerable time
immense damage will be inflicted upon
persons in no way responsible for it.
Hundreds of industries which depend
upon the railroads to bring them the
raw mat erial and to distribute their
product, will be obliged to suspend; and
thousands of men be thrown out of en-
ployment. Thus the strike which is start
ed to help one set of workmen will infict
serious injury or another Indeed the
number that will be injured will be far
greater than the humble that can posi-
bly, be benefited.
