PLAYED WITH FIRE ALARM.

PhiIadelphian Pushed the Button for Fun
aud Caused Panic in a Factory.
Philadelphia is VIGOROUSLY slow, but
it was supposed that the people were
familiar with the electric bell system
even IN the Quaker City. 1t seems they
are not, however, for the bluDder Of a
salesman named Weaver, representing
the Nillimantic Linen Company, of that
place, caused first class panic in the
big shoe factory of G, w. Lewis & Son
Of chat city.
The factory is fitted with electric bells
and signals in all portions of the place
and prolonged ringing of the largest
gong means fire. The salesman walked
in the factory and curiously cycling the
keyboard began TO monkey with the
push buttons.
He finally struck the one that rang
the gong on the third floor, which is &C.
cupied chiefly by women employees. In
stantly the girls began to fall over each
other in their efforts to get down stairs.
S 'me took the fire-escape, and others
fell fainting to the floor.
That no one was badly hurt was due
to the GOODNESS of Charles Hughes, the
uperintendent, and others. Many of the
girls had to be taken home in carriages.
But few of them were in a physical CON
dition that permitted their return to
work
A general alarm of fire was about to
be turned in when the cause Of the
trouble was learned. Weaver, with
flushed face and a sheepish look, ad-
mitted that all the farmers did not live
in Jersey, and went on his way.

SINKS THE KNIFE DEEP.

Committee Cuts Public school Fund $780,.
600. Tax Rate Radically Reduced.
The appropriations committee of the
legislature has completed its work, and
Chairman Chappell has reported the
finished measure to that body. 1t pro-
vides for net reduction of S445, 200 in
the appropriations for the next two
years, and the several funds increased
an6 decreased are shown in the follow
ing:
INCREAsE.
The surprise came when the commits
tee recommended the increase in the
pension fund, but even if this increase
should stand, the net result of the COM
mittee's work will mean a reduction OF
at least one dollar on the thousand In
the state tax rate. ~efore the last leg
islature added the extra 100000 to the
common school fund the state rate was
5.21, and when it became necessary to
raise the additional fund last year the
rate was increased to 621, which was
the maximum fixed by the legislature e.
In striking off the extra $400, 900 the
rate will, therefore, go back TO 5.21, and
it is not impossible that the numerous
other cuts made by the committee will
reduce it still further. That both the
house and the senate will debate the
bill as reported is certain, and it is very
probable that some changes will be
made, but it is indisputably true that
not less than half million dollars will
be cut in the making of appropriations

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
IT CONTAINED 90, 900 WORDS BUT
FEW RECOMMENDATIONS.
Leaves the Whole World Guessing as to
His Territorial Expansion Scheme.
Indefinite on the Currency
Question.

N~DN@NSH
1t has rarely happened that a presi.
dent of the United States has transmit
ted to congress message which con-
tanned so few recommendations in the
space OF 10000 words as did that of Mr..
Mckinley last Tuesday.
The country wanted particularly to
learn what the president had in mind az
to the control of the Philippines and
Cuba, and what sort of scheme of ex>
pansion or territorial protectOrate he ia
vored. But he practically has given no
sign. He excuses himself on the ground
that the treaty commissioners are not
yet through with their labors. He urges
that sOmb plan be adopted for the gov
eminent of Hawaii, but leaves it to con-
gress to determine what that plan shall
be. He has, in short, left the whole
world guessing. The only positive rec
concentration he makes is by way of en-
dOrsing the proposition of the secretary
of war for an increase of the army, Be
tween the lines of his paragraph relating
to the Nicaragua canal we may perceive
that he approves the project, made es-
pecially important Oy the long journey Of
the Oregon around the continent. In
the matter of the currency he is quite
indefinite, and as to the conduct OF the
war he has probably deemed it wise TO
repress his views pending the report of
the Investigating committee created by
himself.
AS reporters record of the war, hav-
ing at command the sources of original
Information, his message is a most yalu-
able contribution to history because he
speaks authOritatiYely and, though deal
ing In compliments somewhat sparIngly,
he covers the ground very we'll in gen.
eral way.
The message is, therefore, entertain
ing without being particularly instruct
i've and the public will have to wait I'M
til there shall be a special message on
the questions of territorial expansion
and forms of government.
But this is the short session of con-
gress. 1t will expire March 4-Only
three months hence. The next session
will show small republican majority
IN the house and con- paraively large
one in the senate. Is it nos conceivable
that the president prefers to postpone
his recommendations so that the task
OF formulating them into law shall de-
Volye upon congress entirely republi-
can?
Is it not reasonable to suppose the
president to be guided by this considera-
tiLn?
We are very much inclined to think 80
and to believe that the present congress,
with its shortage in republican senate
rial membership, will have mighty little
to do with the determination OF cues
tons growing out of the result of the
war.

SCHOOL FUND COMPROMISED,


When the house took up the report of
the committee reducing the school fund
hard fight OF three days between the
two factions ensued, resulting in a COM
promise. By vote of 119 to 46 it was
finally agreed to give the schools 500 900
dollars, which shows how strong this
item is in the popular branch of the as
sembly. This result was not reached
either until after three or four other
propositions, ranging from 100000 to 1.
OOO,0OO dollars, had been defeated by all
most the same maj that passed the
appropriation.
THE BRANDON PENSION BILL PASSED.
Following this the pension issue was
taken up and fought to a finish. the
Brandon bills, which confine the pensions
of both widows and manned soldiers to
an INDECENT has S, being passed. The
majority at supported this reformation
In the pension laws was such as 10 leave
no room for another consideration. So
this, as Nell as the school fund question.
may be regarded as finally settled in the
lower branch Of the assembly. 1t NAV
be that there will be a hard fight on the
pension bill in the senate.
The Brandon bill simply require pen
sioners under the manned clause and the
widows pension act t. make oath that
they are not able to provide for their
own support, before they will be entitled
to draw any more pension money out of
the state treasury. 1t is estimated by
tie author after careful investigation
that the passage of these bills will save
at least 10000 dollars a year, and pos.
sibly more. They are intended to reach
the well-to-do pensioners of both classes.
