Drilling With Life-Saving Apparatus.

Thursday is the day for drilling
with beach apparatus. A pole planted
in the sand represents the mast of the
wrecked ship. The beach apparatus,
beach-cart, hawsers, guns, lines,
blocks, and buoy are all run out in
short time and all the maneuvers gone
through with, as if in actually rescu-
ing crew; from the time the word
"action"is spoken by the keeper till
the supposed rescued man is brought
to the supposed beach, only six min
utes have passed! 1t seems almost in
credible, but their training has made
all the men models of promptness and
obedience. After this drill the crew
returns the beach apparatus to the
station. leaving everything, as usual,
in order. st. Nicholas.

An Electric Palace.

The palatial New York home of
Charles I. Yerkes, the Chicago mil
lionaire, at Sixty eighth street and
Fifth avenue, has not only the most
complete electric lighting, heating,
and ventilating plant of any of the
several electrically equipped mansions
in the city. but it has the largest
storage battery plant ever installed in
private residence. A gas engine of
thirty-five horse power in the base
ment is belted to dynamo. The
storage battery consists OF sixty cells,
having capacity of 1850 hours at a
ten-hour discharge rate, the maximum
discharge rate being 500 amperes for
four hours
The house is wired for about 1900
sixteen-candle-power lamps, and has
besides electric passenger elevator
and several electric motors for venti-
lating, pumping and other purposes.
The arrangement of the lights is
very artistic. The vestibule or recep-
ton hall is lighted from above through
cathedral glass in the base of a dome
by 800 lights. Lamps are concealed
within the carving of the principal
salon, or in rosettes of colored glass
cunningly placed in the ceilings.
In the library, an apparent framed oil
painting, which is really wonderful
piece of cathedral glass work, is made
the vehicle OF the food of light, which
eliminates the room with the soft
radiance of day.

Kittens.

ments. One of Princess's kittens, the
White Squall, SO named from his
practice of standing on the stairs and
bowling when left alone, was SO de-
pendent on others and SO exacting
that he became a pest. His mother
did not care for him particularly and
none of his seniors took fancy to
him. He then fell back upon human
beings, and made my life burden by
yelling on the stairs when he could
not find me, and tormenting me to
play with him when he did. No ball,
bell, or string and spool was of the
least value to him unless somebody
played with him.
He would climb into my lap, scram-

The nomination of Mr.. ". II. Paine
for the position of chief of police is
made by body of men interested in
temperance and the most effective ell
forcement OF the prohibtory law practi-
cable, believing him to be we'll qualified
for the place. He is an outspoken ad.
voeate of temperance and the prohibit
tory law and, while his nomination is
made distnctively upon the considera-
ton above specified, it does not follow that
he will not be an efficient officer other
wise. Every thinking man must admit
that the rum curse is the giant evil and the
most active promoter of other evils
With which any community is cursed
Rum is the champion demoralizer and
were it out of the way a long step
toward the best order would have been
taken. One thing is sure, the saloon
element in town is solidly against the
election of Mr.. Paine. Every man who
believes IN free rum and every man who
opposes the enforcement of the prohibit
tory law will vote against him and his
defeat would be joyfully claimed AS al
anti-tempera9ee victory. These things
are worthy of consideration in the prem

This same body of citizens have placed
in nomination to be supported as asses

f. A. Nolin and A. ii. Lang. These
men are well known to our people as
exceptionally we'll qualified for assessors
and stand specifically for temperance
and observance of law. Ii elected they
will serve the corporation admirably in
every particular. We are not Informed
who are to run against these gentlemen
for these places but it is generally under
stood that the members of the present
board of assessors will be candidates for
re- election.
County Attorney Collins advised a
committee of Skowhegan citizens, who
conferred with him in regard to enforce
ment of law, to choose.local officers in
terested, who would attend to it and not
leave everything to the grand jury and
county officers. This is just what these
same citizens are trying to do by nomi-
mating assessors and chief of police, who
are avowedly for prohibition aud its
enforcement.
