RUNNING TO A FIRE.
Response of New YOrlS's Department
to an Electric Alarm.

to an Electric Alarm.
IAN Alarm of Fire by Telegraph" is
the subject of an article by Charles T.
Hill, in st. Nicholas. After describing
the outbreak of a fire in a kitchen in
West Sixteenth street, and the pulling
of an alarm from q corner box, Mr.. Hill
says: The alarm has been sent. 1t
may seem like an age to the owner as
he stands waiting for the firemen to APP
pear; but it is a matter of only few
seconds; for within 20 seconds this sta
ton number is ringing in score or
more of engine houses, and within one
minute and a half six companies of ap-
paratus are on their way to this box.
He looks up and down the avenue and
what does he see?
Turning into Seventh avenue at the
intersection of Greenwich avenue, five
blocks to the south of where he stands,
a fire engine appears, drawn by three
plunging gray horses. Asst straightens
out in the broad avenue, they dash mad
ly toward where he stands. a hose wag-
on follows, filled with sturdy men don
ming rubber coats and fire hats. The
bells of both engine and wagon ure
ringing furiously, and the whistle of the
former keeps up series of short
shrieks.
1t is truly an inspiring sight, and he
almost forgets the destruction that
threatens his home.
As he looks up the avenue he sees up
preaching from Twentieth street, four
blocks to the north, another piece of
apparatus-a heavy affair that SWAPS
from side to side rs it swings from one
car-track to another. This is "truck'
or hook-and-ladder company, and it is
preceded by a light wagon containing
two men, one driving while the other
looks eagerly ahead forthe appearance
of fire. This is the chief of the Seventh
battalion, who afterwards has charge OF
the fire. Whistles and bells in the two
adjoining streets to the north of him
tell of the approach of more engines

BIRD HANGS ITSELF.
Strange Event Mt Edison's Laboratory
at Orange, Nd.

A strange event happened at the Edi-
son laboratory in Orange, N. j., recent
ly, which puzzled the great inventor
and left the question as much in doubt
as ever. 1t is thought by some Or
nngeites that an English sparrow COM
mitted suicide on the walls of the lab
oratory; by others that merely an &C
cident occurred. The facts are as fol-
lows: In the end of the loft in one of
the laboratory buildings is a diamond
shaped arrangement of holes. These
holes were left there for ventilation
purposes and were made by leaving out

A member of the Connecticut legisia-
ture, Mr.. Main, of North Stonington,
has achieved fame by gravely declaring,
in open session of the house, that
eagles get their teeth into everything
they can lay their hands on" This
terrible arraignment of Freedoms pet
was part of a speech, much of it equally
vigorous, in which Mr.. Main besought
his fellow-statesmen, in the name of
their imperiled turkeys and geese, not
to pass a bill imposing on anybody who
kills an eagle within the boundaries of
Connecticut fine of $25. His eloquence
was wasted, however, for after long
debate, in which several rural solons adj
vocated the destruction of eagles, the
bill was carried by good majority. One
speaker made the rather interesting
revelation that the proposed law was
drafted by an able lawyer for the pur-
pose of preventing New York sports
men from coming into Litchfeld county
and killing eagles for the sake of the
500 apiece they can get for the dead
birds from metropolitan taxidermists."

PROF. SHIELDS

cause of Princeton Inn
Censure.

Prof. Charles Woodruff Shields, the
man who withdrew from the Presby-
terrain Church because the Pres byter-
les mercilessly condemned him for
signing the petition for a liquor H.
cense for Princeton Inn, occupies the
chair OF harmony and religion and
science at the great university. The
Professor is man of aristocratic
lineage and bearing and most iDdepen-
dent in his opinions. His views on
religion and science and their inter-
bearing are such as scorn the acade-
me attempt at reconciliation, and he
has been called "heretic" by many of
the most conservative and learned in
the church. But he has never budg-
ed an inch from his opinions. He is
a grandson of Patrick Henry Shields,
noted jurist of old Vir&irip, who
was lifelong friend OF William
Henry Harrison.
The Professor is now 70 years old

Victory In 1900.

The vote of confidence" given TO
the Republican administration at the
last election would have made Bryan
President had ii been cast in 1896.
As the matter stands the country
Ia Democratic, and the party of the
people has no need to bring any more
States to it's assistance. This is not a
matter of conjecture. 1t js a simple
fact easily demonstrated by a simple
mathematical calculation.
New York has thirty-six votes in
the electoral college, Kentucky has
thirteen and New JERSEY has ten.
President Mckinley received the
votes of New York, New Jersey and
Kentucky, with the exception of one
vote. in the latter State, which was
cast for Bryan. McKinley's total
vote iu the electoral college was oil,
while that of Bryan was 176. At the
recent election New York, Kentucky
and New Jersey went Democratic.
Suppose the people of these three
States had known the real character
of the Republican party last year as
they know it now, what would have
been the result? Simply this: the
flfty-eight votes which went for Nc
Kinley would have gone FOR Bryan.
These fifty-eight votes taken from
McKtnley's total OF 27l would have
left him 2l3. These same fifty-eight
votes added to Bryan's 176 would
have given him 234. Thus Bryan
would have been elected President by
majority of twenty-one votes.
President Mckinley has expressed
himself as satisfied with the results OF
the recent election. He is certainly a
good Democrat. With the solid South,
the solid West, and with New York

Prehistoric Kentucky.

The report Of the committee from

of unusual historic interest.
The mastodon bones were real
bones, and below the stratum of grav-
ell in which they we're found the COM
mittee came across the remains of an
old roadway well paved with stone.
The members of the committee con-
tent themselves with the modest
statement that this is an indication
that Kentucky was inhabited by
highly civilized people at a period an
terror to the coming of the mastodon.
If Kentucky really had good roads
at that early day it was certainly
