to hold up the stage that carries the
mail between Rossie and Gouveneur.
Two men were walking slowly i'm the
road. and one sprang from among bushes
and attempted to stop the team. The
driver piled his whip over the mans
head. hitting him an awful blow between
the eyes with the butt end OF the whip
and telling him to the ground. He was
picked up by his companions and taken

A WOman's Novel and
Valuable Invention.
Is Intended to Save Horses
From Burning Barns.
Paper Suits Said to Be Proof Against
Bolts OF Lightning.

Women as inventors are daily becoming
more conspicuous, and the number and
variety of the devices produced by them
are really marvellous. The latest con-
trivance designed by woman is for the
purpose of preventing the burning OF
horses alive. as is often the case because
OF the faulty construction of the stables
in which they are kept. In many OF
these structures no provision whatever Is
made to meet the emergency of fire, ana
the result is that when such an emer-
gency arises, especially in the nigh
time, the horses have no way of escape,
and are roasted alive in their stalls. Such
cruel destruction would be almost i'm
posi- bic, il the elaborate devise of the
latest woman inventor is generally en-
ployed, for by 1t all the horses In any
stable would be released from their stalls,
and led to the open air and to safety.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1896-08-01

The plan provides for n series OF stalls,
with partitions of sheet metal, so arranged
ss to move upward in metal guides.
These partitions are raised by weights on
the occasion of a IRE. A cable is ex-
tended along the entire series OF stalls
and wound on drums arranged just out
side the building. Collars are secured
at intervals along the able, these collars
normally coinciding with the partitions
and serving TO hold them oowD. The
tie strap of each halter 10 connected to
the cattle. The winding drums are so
arranged as 10 be actaated by the stored
ensrgy OF a spring, 80 as TO be brought
into use by means OF simple release
mechanism which causes the cable to be
drawn along and the movement of which
instantly releases the partitions that rise
in their guides, leaving the travel way
open, and the animals, being attached 10
the cable. are led out Of the building.
The whole system is automatic and cer-
tain in action.

The methods devised for insuring man
kind against lightning bolts are very
unique and at the same time very
simple. The first CT these is by clothing
hlmselI in paS,r suit. This is made of a
fiber pulp and can be made TO look ex-
actly like any other suit of clothes. Pa
per is poor conductor, and the man
dressed in paper suit could almost de-
fy the natural desire which lightning
has for him. This Is particularly the
case IL a nat of paper fiber or pulp
ie worn. Inside this should be
placed piece of newspaper, and in
side the clothing should also he
laid q newspaper or two. Even without
the paper suit the newspaper Is good
protection. People who are afraio OF
lightning can carry looking glass In the
pocket over the heart; and II wooden
shoes are worn they need not fear the
lightning as II runs along the ground.

Just now, when thunder storms are so
frequent, IL is interesting 10 note that an
ingenious American has constructed a
suit which he guar antees TO be abso-
lutely lightning proof and to afford the
wearer immunity from being struck by
any bolt that happens to meander in his
direction. "he average individual Is
more frightened by the deafening crash
that follows the fash than by the fash it
self, although the real danger Is in the
latter. Then, too, there is an old saying
that a person struck by lightning will
never know anything about what hap
pcned to him. There isn't much COM
fort In that, however. especially for
those OF sensitive nerves, which are set
tiogling by every tbunder storm that Wis
ats their vicinity. For this class of suf.
ferers the anti-lightning suit ought to
be great boon.

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS-.
Majority of Senators Stnl Believe in
an Early Adjournment.


WAsHGNGToN April 27.-The senate pro-
gram for this week, so far MS determined
upon, includes only the consideration of
appropriation bills. There may be spas
modic efforts to get up other measures,
but the probabilities are that nothing else
of any general Importance will receive at
tention. Certainly nothing will be taken
up which will lead to general debate if the
committee on appropriations can control
the order Of business.
1t is expected that there will be an ef-
fort on the part of Senator German and
other senators to amend the naval bill so
as to provide for the construction of only
two battleships, instead of four, as the
bill provides. There Is also an element in
the senate favorable to increasing the
number to six. 1t is, therefore, expected
that this bill will develop considerable de-
bate.
A large majority Of the senator's almost
all of them in fact, now regard early ad-
journment as quite definitely determined
upon. If the Democrats and Populists
ever had an idea of attempting to prolong
the session beyond the national conven-
tions they appear to have given it up and
few of them now fix the date beyond the
first of June.
The senators are taking the possibility
of a veto Of the river and harDor bill into
account in their calculations on adjourn
ment. Such a fate for tho bill has been
considered among the probabilities, and
hence there will be an effort to so arrange
the business of the session as to hold CON
gress In session during the ten days which
he is allowed to consider bill, in order to
secure an opportunity for passing the bill
over the presidents objections in case of
his disapproval
The house, having disposed of all the
appropriation bills, will devote the balance
of the session, except such portions as are
consumed by conference reports to clear
ing up such matters as opportunity af-
fords. This week promises action on sew
eral measures. The Pickler general pen
sion bill, which was under debate last
week for three days, will be voted on this
afternoon If the clamor for more time for
debate Is not too importunate in which
case the debate may be allowed to run on
for several days. The measure will prob
ably receive every Republican and quite a
number of Democratic votes. 1t has been
agreed that the bill to empower the presi-
dent to retire John NJ. Quackenbush as a
commander in the navy shall be taken up
tomorrow. Commander Quackenbush was
court martialed and dismissed from the
navy In 1874 on charges of excessive intox
ioation. He has now reached the age when,
had he not been so dismissed, he would be
retired
