mo COAL, NO FIRE
AND LESS DANGER.
THE NEW MOTOR is EXPECTED TO
ACHIEVE GREAT RESULTS.
Vital Principle of the Engine is the
Air We Breathe, and it Is Expec-
ted That Cars Will Be Hauled at
the Rate OF One Hundred Miles an
Hour.

Chicago, April 23.-The world is
probably, on the eve of a discovery
which will revolutionize all the present
systems of motive power. In an in
terview Professor James Mclean de-
tailed some of the salient points of his
invention, which is expected to achieve
the result.
II have sought" he said, "to provide
an entirely new type of engine, which
call the pneumatic. BY the pneumatic
principle the transportation of fuel and
water, the use of fire and steam, al
ways dangerous upon the locomotives
Of our railroads and in the sta
tionary engines Of Our factories, are
avoided. The vital principle of the en-
CINE is simply the air we breathe. With
compressed air | propose to propel
Ia locomotive without noise, friction or
Limitation of speed. There will be no
coal, no coal dust and a locomotive
built upon my principle can haul a
train of cars at the rate of 100 miles an
hour with greater ease and far less cost
than the present engine can make fifty
miles.
Il propose to substitute for the ordi-
nary reciprocating motion of the engine,
with its limitations and waste of power,
a wholly rotary power and to reduce
friction to a minimum. All that will
be necessary for the use of any pneu-
matte engine is to use the present cab
of the locomotive as an air chest with
proper valves and machinery to place
my rotary in position and my work is
done. In a tank containing 1000 feet
Of air an initial force of 100 pounds to
the square inch can at once be OBJ
tanned, and the rotary has an i'm
mediate effect upon the drivers.
To four feet, seven inches driv-
ing wheels there would be attached
four six-feet rotaries and thus will be
obtained three-foot leverage at four
given points. There is no rod con-
structfon, no eccentrics, no cylinders,
in fact, there is simply direct action.
The reciprocating movement has two
dead points in each revolution, while
in my rotary motion there are no dead
points, but continuous force on the
periphery of the wheel, no lost motion
no waste of force -

AFRICAN GOLD FIELDS.

A writer in the Christian Register says
that the great Witwatersrand reef in
Africa, from which the bulk of the gold
is extracted, is III miles long and that
the ore is richer at depth OF loo feet
than at the surface. The expectation is
that when a depth of 1,5o0 to ZOO feet is
reached the deposits of the precious met
al will be found to be on nearly level
plane The gold claims are grouped to-
gether in lots of twenty or more and
worked by companies. johannesburg, a
city of 10000 European inhabitants. has
sprung up there as If by magic. It has
its churches, theatres, club houses, school
houses, libraries, and stock exchange
which, in architectural beauty, will com
pare favorably with anything in New
York city. This would seem to be only
a beginning. Gold mining in that region
is in its, infancy, and undoubtedly the OPP
erations now being extended will ere
long add enormously TO their present pro-
duction of gold, that for the whole world
being estimated for last year at not less
than l50.000.0o0. 1t will take but a few
years more at the present rate Of increase
in the production to give the world ali
the gold that profitably can be used for
money, except for subsidiary purposes

New York, April 2S.-The week opened
on the New York stock exchange with a
heavy tore to speculation and prices de-
clined heavily during the first hour and a
half or business.
The depression was decreased by the
weakness of the London market FOL
American securities and the arbitration
houses were sellers of St. Paul, Atchison
and other arbitrage securities. The bal
ance was nearly all on the short side OF
the market, and the professionals put out
some shorts.
The rumoTs about the great industrial
army are being used to create uneasiness
on the street, and even in some centers
the march is beginning to assume seri-
Gus aspect in view of the excuse which II
offers to professional agitators to create
q disturbance OF the relations between
labor and capital.
The induStrials were mostly freely sold
during the morning and gave way more
readily, Sugar leading with a break OF
rs. General Electric was also freely OF.
81 6ff 3 recovery of rs and a final reaction
Between Ii and II o'clock the down
ward movement was checked by pur-
chaSes to cover short contracts.
The purchasing movement, while not
very strong, was steady throughout the
early afternoon and recoveries were not
exceeding a fraction, except in the case
of Cordage, which rallied 10.
The higher figures were maintained until
after delivery hour when a renewal of the
selling caused a reaction, in which most
of the early improvements were lost ano
still lower figures were touched in many
instances, Northern Pacific making a to-
tai decline of III and Is to y in other
shares OF the active list.
The bond market was weak throughout
The day.

CORONADO'S SPANISH FIESTA.
Bull Fights, Bucking BrOncos and
Burro Races.

Bull Fights, Bucking Broncos and
Burro Races.
Sam Diego, Cal, April 23-The Span
ish fiesta was resumed at Coronado to-
day, the sports being similar to those
on Saturday, They consisted of las
sooing, throwing and tying wild cattle,
failing steers, broncho bucking, burro
races and bull fights
While the last broncho was being
broken, the toreadors, two Mexicans.
were donning their bright clothes for
the bull fight. The bull, a massive
fellow with thick, fat horns, sprang
into the arena, shifted in all directions
and charged the toreadors. The crowd
cheered vigorously. The Mexicans
showed great skill in resisting the fu-
rious attacks. Once or twice the bull
rushed on the horse and lifted him into
the air, but the blunt horns did no
harm
A second bull thought to be of no
account, was turned in and made a
hne tight, charging everything in sight.
He was then sent out on the track and
tailed by the vaqueros. The last ami
NAL big red Lower California bull.
had to undergo the cutting of his
horns before the Mexicans would face
him. He also showed great savagery
and was loudly cheered.
The sports continue another dav
when changes in the programme will
be introduced.

PETROLEUM BRICKS.
An Invention That Promises to
Knock Out King Coal.

Washington, April 23.-In a report
just published by the state department
United States Consul c. H. Chancellor,
of Havre, explains the method of manu-
featuring a new fuel which is now in
use in some parts of France. The in
ventor is Maestracci and the fuel is
known as petroleum bricks. The
method is as follows:
Mix one litre of petroleum, $50 grams
saturated soap. 10 per cent. of rosin
and 332 grams of caustic soda. Heat
this mixture, being careful to stir it
mences, say about 40 minutes. If the
mixture should tend to boil over pour
in a few more drops of soda and con-
tinue to stir until solidification has
sufficiently progressed, then pour the
semi-fluid material into molds to form
the bricks and place these in a hot
room or drying place for ten or fifteen
minutes, then remove them and let
them cool In a few hours they can be
used as fuel.
To the three elements which con-
stitute the mixture Maestracci recon-
mends the addition of 20 per cent. OF
saw dust and 20 per cent. of clay or
sands, which makes the brick more
solid and less expensive. Trials OF
these bricks as fuel have been made at
Marseilles on tugs, and it is found,
weight for weight, they develop three
time as much heat as coal and leave
no ashes 1t is expected, with some
slight change in the furnace, it will be
possible to arrive at still more perfect
results, not only in the increased heat,
but in the entire suppression of smoke
and on the most economical basis, one
kilogram of solicited matter being
equal to four Kilograms of coal.

ASSAULTED By TWO WOMEN.
How a Priest Was Paid for His De
ception.

New York, April 23.-In the church
of San Salvatore, the only Protestant
Episcopal church for Italians in the
city, the rector, Albert o. Pace, lust
as he was about to open Sunday eve
ming service, was assaulted by two
women, Mrs. Caravata and Mrs. Cesari
Mrs. Caravata advanced to the pulpit
and in an excited manner asked:
''Is this the Catholic church?''
This is the Catholic church, the
Episcopal church, the church of Christ
not the American Catholic church, .
replied the rector.
At that both women attacked Mr..
Pace, who forgot himself so far as to
strike back, knocking most of Mrs.
Caravata's teeth down her throat. The
rector Immediately apologized, had the
two women elected and proceeded with
the services. Arrests will be made.
The women say Mr.. Pace baptized
Mr.. Cesari's children, telling them
that he was Catholic priest and
the church Catholic church. When
they discovered the deception, they
determined upon the assault.

and other troubles on your side. The
fall ranges from Doc. to $3.50 per share
Atchison, Milwaukee and Louisville
were the leading stocks. 1t is rumored
that the latter company is trying TO
place large amount of bills here, but
this was quite unconfirmed in the best
quarters, prices closing at the worst.
Brazilians were good, but other South
American stocks were depressed by the
further rise of points of the Argen-
tine gold premium to nearly the highest
point yet touched. Trouble is feared in
Argentina unless more help comes from
England or the United States.
The outlook is gloomy here. The firm
of A Vonber, of Hamburg, demand a
period of settlement owing to the suicide
of their Valparaiso representative. Over
f176,000 in gold and United States coin
were bought by the bank of England.

SUING A DEAD MAN.
A Widow Asks for n Divorce from
Her Late Husband

Sioux City, Iowa, April 23.-The re-
markable spectacle of a woman suing
her dead husband for divorce is
presented by proceedings in the dis
trict court here. Miranda Paul mar
ried William Paul short time ago.
after being divorced from her first
husband, Soon after William made
discoveries that led him to believe
that the divorce was not legal and re-
fused to live with her. She began suit
against him for a divorce, in order to
test the validity of her former divorce
Paul filed a cross-petition in which he
asked divorce and $1,000 damages
Before the suit came to trial, Paul
died. The woman at once asked ia
have the suits abated on the ground
that his death removed the cause for
action. The heirs of Paul declined ia
allow this on the ground PauPs
property interests demand a SETTLE
ment of the case. They deny that the
woman is entitled to any share in the
estate. The matter has been taken
under Amusement by the court and
the woman's attorneys are expecting
the case will be tried.

COLUMBIA IN COMMISSION.
Formal Transfer of the Vessel tC
the Government.

Philadelphia, April 23.-The cruiser
Columbia went into commission today.
The ceremonies of transferring the yes
sci from the builders to the United
States government consisted of the
mastering by the crew on the port in
full uniform and the officers on the
starboard side of the stern, with the
marine guard in a position facing the
iagstaffs.
Captain George W. Sumner, United
States navy, then came forward in
full uniform, and after being saluted,
read the order of the secretary of the
navy, placing him in command. The
crew then uncovered.
The marine corps saluted, the bu-
glers saluted ito the colors," and the
quartermaster flung the colors to the
breeze. t-h1-
Captain Sumner made a short ad-
dress complimenting the builders of
the craft. The Columbia will go to

week

Europe on the Weimar, made by
authority of Secretary Herbert to test
a new aid to navigation, the Solaro-
meter, an instrument intended to re-
place the sextant aboard the ships, in
showing the exact position Of the YES
sci. 1t has many points of advantage
over the sextant in accuracy and
freedom from long arithmetical calcu-
lation. One feature of greatest value
is the capacity OF the instrument to
record observations in fogs, when the
sun or stars shine dimly or the horizon
cannot be seen and the sextant is use
less to locate the ship. The lieutenant
reports that the instrument worked
admirably on the Weimar under all
kinds of weather, and the North Ger
man Lloyd company, is making ar
rangements to equip all their vessels
with it. 1t is probable the instrument
will also be used in our navy.

Il did not give it much attention at
first but when 1 became blind in the
right eye'I was much alarmed. I consul
ted DR.. De Monco and was told by him
that | was suffering from graduated lids
and that the granulations caused a con-
dition which he named panus, a ground
glass appearance of the eye ball which
prevented clearness of vision at first, then
gradually blindness.
My cure was rapid and complete, and
in every way most satisfactory. Will also
say that my catarrh has not returned and

DAWDLERS.
Their Saturday All Too Short to Hold
the LnbOrs of the Week.

Their Saturday All Too Short to Hold
the Lnbors of the Week.
DawdIing is reckoned among the min
or offenses of human conduct and is in
diligently tolerated as a harmless, easy
going fault. In reality it is a very SER
ious evasion of life's duties and respon-
sibilities, an offshoot of sloth-and sloth
is enrolled among the seven deadly
sins. The frail gossamer threads of
pleasant dawdling grow constantly if
imperceptibly, stronger at last, until
the frivolous listeners are entangled in
a mesh which cannot be broken, and
downright laziness holds them in sub
lection.
Dawdlers are naturally dreamers, and
are always planning something that
shall by and by show their good quail
tiles in the most attractive light Like
the hare in the fable secure in the pos
session of superior abilities, they allow
themselves to be surpassed by those
less blest with natural advantages.
That they seldom do themselves JUS
tiee is therefore foregone conclusion,
the haste with which they must work
when they do bestir themselves leaving
its marks of imperfection-the stitches
irregular the long deferred letter cold
and spirftless, and the toilette lacking
the last dainty touches.
Having no respect for their own time.
dawdlers are sad MASTERS of that of
others. They keep the table waiting
for their advent, and linger uncon-
sciously over 'the walnuts and the
wine They are late at every social
function, and never acquire the diff
cult art of taking leave gracefully.
their last words being sometimes pro-
tracted to length exceeding that of
the visit itself. They seldom see the
curtain rise upon the first act of the
opera or play, and they rustic tardily
into church, annoying their pastor and
worshippers, and in their furry
missing the true spirit of the service
Frequently, however, these dilly-dally
folks are sweet tempered as their pro-
crastination is aggravating, so that
none save the sternest moralist can
refuse to help them in the extremities
to which they are constantly reduced.
Then profuse are their thanks and Law
ish their promises to turn over new
leaf. But, alas. the fresh page does
but repeat THOSE which precede it, the
sunset hour continues to see the be-
ginning of their activity, and their Sat
urday is all too short to hold the labors
of the week.-Harper's Bazaar.

CLUBS, STONES AND BROoMs.
Miniature Riot BY Philadelphia
Street Cleaners.

Philadelphia, April 2S.-The street
cleaners strike assumed a serious as
pect today. when a. body of 500 strik-
ers and fifty women made an attack
on twenty-five Italians, who refused to
strike.
Clubs, stones and brooms were freely
used for a few minutes. When the po-
lice appeared and stopped the rioting,
several had their heads cut and were
severely bruised about the body, but
none were fatally injured.
The men who refused to strike had
been recently granted an advance Of
rs cents, making their pay $125. The
strikers had been receiving 81 per day
for cleaning asphalt and SIPS for cob
blestone and Belgian block paving
They now ask for $3.50 for both.

London, April 2S.-It is announced
as result of the Indignation created
by the report of the sanitary institute
regarding the conditions under which
bread eaten by the people of this city
is produced that the government has
decided to appoint a select committee
of the House of Commons to investi-

sixths of all bread consumed in London
is produced in cellar bakeries, not
more than six feet high, ten feet in
length and twelve feet wide. Sewer
gas enters through drains opening in
the floor, while further pollution is
caused by the ground air and the
damp sucked up into the heated cellar
through the flooring.
