There was little business outside the usual routine transacted at the meet ing of the Building Trades Council last night. A circular boycotting the cy- clorama about to be opened in Central Park was read and approved. and copies of it will be sent to every trades union man in the city.

and that within a few days. Before Sun
day comes, unless Spain yields. and yields
with something more than a promise.
unless she gives a pledge which the pow
ers are willing to indorse, the process of
eviction must be set in motion.
1t is extraordinary that even now, with

LINCOLN AND THE DANDY.
n Humorous Reminiscence of the
Famous President.


In some gossip from the national
capitol Henry L. Stoddard says:
Among the applicants for foreign
missions in Washington recently was
New England man attired so fault
lessly that he might have served for
fashion plate. He reminded the vet
eran Tom Donaldson Of story told Of
an Ohio dandy whom President Lin
coin appointed as consul to a South
American country. A wag met the
new appointee on his way to the white
house to thank the president. He was
dressed in the most extravagant style.
The wag Mortified him by telling him
that the country to which he was as
signed was noted chiefly for the bugs
that abounded there and made life un-
bearable. They'll bore hole clean
through you before a week has
passed. was the comforting assur-
rance of the wag as they parted at the
white house steps. The new consul
approached Lincoln with disappoint-
ment clearly written all over his face.
Instead of joyously thanking the pres
ident, he told him the ways story of
the bugs. Il am informed, Mr.. Pres-
dent he said, that the place is full Of
vermin and that they'll eat me up in a
weeks time Well, young man. re-
piled Lincoln, IF that's true all I've got
TO say is that they will leave a mighty
good suit Of clothes behind"

LIQUID FUEL.

Liquid fuel is coming into genera!

little doubt that if road carriages are tc

AT a late meeting of the Northeas,
Coast institution in South Shields, Mr.
X. X. Wallis read a paper giving the
results OF many experiments to ascer
tain the calorifc and evaporative value
OF various oils as fuel for steam raising
In comparing coal and oil he Shows
that the value of each varies Create
with the quality and circumstance
under which burned, oil doing from
one and half to two and half time.
the work of an equal weight of coal
This Is accounted for, first, by the com
plete combustion of oil without loss
heat In SCOT or smoke; second, becaus,
there are no fires to clean with the
accompanying loss Of heat and fall O
steam pressure, the pressure ant
revolution of the engines being main
tanned; third, because the boiler tube,
are always clean and in the best condi
ton for the heat from gases passing
through them to the boiler, and fourth
because the temperature of the escap
ing gases may be lower than is neces
sary TO create the draught necessary
for coal firing. There are no bars nor
thick fire for the air to force its wa,
through; the required amount of all
can be drawn through the furnace by
a lower uptake temperature, and the
admission of air being under complete
control and the fuel burned in fine par
ticles in close contact with the Oxygen
of the air, only very small excess of
air is required. 1t occupies, more.
over only half the space needed for
coal.

SIXTY YEARS lETTER-CARRIER
Hannah Brewer Equals the Queen in
Years of Service.


Hannah Brewer, the old Bitton post
mistress, who has just joined the ranks
Of the superannuated, has recently told
representative of the London Daily
Mail that she has been delivering let
ters without intermission during the
whole 60 years Of the queens reign.
She began when a child of 12, and dur
ing her many years OF service had
walked 100000 miles. Her father was
subpostmaster Of the village, and the
district she covered consisted of the
scattered hamlets lying between Wick
and Bitton, on the borders of Glouces-
ter. Her daily round was IL miles in
all weathers, and included many steep
hills. Although the district is sparse
ly populated, the old lady said she had
never been robbed, stopped or molested
in any way. Her travels, apart from
her daily visitations, have never extend
ed beyond Bath or Bristol, and since
1892 she has lived alone, those related
to her being too poor 10 render her
any assistance. Notwithstanding the
she has undergone, old Han
nah Brewer has enjoyed good health
during her term of office. Her alb
sences from duty, she said. had been
very few indeed. and now, at the adj
vanced age OF 20 years, she has retired
from the service Of the postmaster-gen-
eral On ANAL but wslldegervsd psu!
