HE WANTED FRESH AIR.

New YOrlk's Coroner Has an Amusing
Experience in a Cable Car.
From the New York Tribune.
Coroner Hoeber was coming down to busi-
ness yesterday morning in a Lexington
avenue cable car 1t may seem strange
that a man holding such an exalted Office
should patronize the meek and lowly cable
car, but the coroner believes in encourag-
ing the cabmen of the city to lower their
legal rates. The coroners mind was full
of grave subjects yesterday morning Other
wise he would have noticed that the air Of
the car was close and heavy long before
he got to 18th street. When he did awake
to the real condition of the circumambient
atmosphere, however. DR.. Hoeber was not
slow to act He turned to the woman who
sat beside him and said:
"Kint friendt, you Id would doc derribly
disgommode, If l der window down pud?
Hein?'
The woman looked surprised and took
moment to puzzle 1t out. Then she said
dubiously, "All right"
The coroner smiled gratefully and lower
ed the window. Now the wind was blowing
down Broadway at the rate of about twen-
ty miles an hour, and every passenger in
the car was soon shivering and looking
daggers at the coroner You see, they
didn't know he was coroner. Not the
least disturbed was the woman whose con-
sent had caused all the trouble. But she
was game. She didn't know what she was
conSenting to when she consented, but hav-
ing put her hand to the plough she wasn't
going to turn back.
She looked nightly relieved, though,
when a tall, gray-haired man on the other
the coroner. not knowing he was a coroner
Pardon me. but will you kindly lower
the Window"
Coroner Hoeber was too SURPRISED TO an
of hn6 in is ha
would have fined the tall. grayhaired man
$500 for his impertinence. AS it was he
threw back his Holstein shoulders and re-
piled Indignantly:
Der vindtow shud, 1 will mosd eggsagd-
ly der vindtow not shud. Wy der vindtow
should shud? Unit sdifle me vid der besti-
lential air! Der vindtow shud! Then he
retired upon his dignity.
But the tall, gray-haired man was not to
be beaten thus easily. He did not know he
was dealing with a coroner. He appealed
to the conductor who was just then max
ing a raid through the car. Make that
man put the window down! He's freezing
everybody" he said.
The conductor took a look and fled to the
rear platform, thereby losing several fares.
You see. he knew the coroner. The tall
man again appealed to the coroner. Dr.
Hoeber arose and bowed to the woman
"Kindt friendt." he said, do you der
breezes from der vindtow disgommode?"
This gallantry was too much for her. She
tried to smile and replied, Moo, not a
b-b-it. th-thank you" Her teeth chartered
as she spoke. and the tall man looked dag
gers at her.
The coroner glanced savagely at the tail
man. Il viii der vindtow mosd eggsagdy

Mr.. Estabrook in Chicago, working
through the State Central Committee
that he was booked for this city, and
when it is known that he has but two

ping at Hotel Bedding, says he heard
his Grafton at the unwilling of the

the opportunity of hearing him. 1t is

The alarm of fire Monday evening at
about six o'clock was caused by the
bursting of can containing wood al
cohol in the kitchen of T. Frank Ire

preparing the oil stove for operation
and had filled the cup with the liquid.
In lighting it the flames connected
with the can and an explosion followed
scattering the flames in every direc-
ton, burning her hands, dress and
several parts of her person quite badly,
she ran into the dining room and Mrs.

and then gave the alarm. Consider
BILE damage was done in burning clothes
that had been brought in from the wash

have been burned to death. DR.. Pink
