MILES CALLS IT A DRAW.

General Miles says the result at San
tiago appears to be a drawn battle. He
also says that the withdrawal of Cen
eral Shafter to the highlands of Sib-
oney, near the sea, would be tempo
rary enabling the troops to rest and
prepare for future work. General
Shafter would probably give up Caney
and the plain not far from Santiago.

CLOSE TO THE MOON.
IL In Brought within Easy Reach of
the World by a Recent
Invention.

Herr Johann Mayer, an Austrian lieu
tenant, has just discovered a method by
which the moon can be brought within
pistol-shot of the world, figuratively
speaking. Nothing among the many
marvels of modern invention is more
astonishing than this same discovery.
BY his invention Herr Mayer says the
moon can be brought within distance
of 100 yards, in fact, and explored most
thoroughly, Prof. Gates combined
microscope-telescope was broughtto be
a marvellous contrivance, but this latest
addition puts it quite in the shade. In
his success Herr Mayer has made a
wide departure from customary meth
DDS. In fact the monster telescopes
do not figure in his calculations what
ever. Without going into long-drawn-
out or technical explanation of the sp-
paratus he has constructed, 1t is novel
affair, in that an enormous parabolic
mirror 30 yards in diameter that re-
wolves upon fixed axis is the main
scheme of the apparatus. This concave
mirror which is of the ordinary "sil-
vered" glass has small convex para
bolic mirror suspended atits focus; and
this small mirror focuses the rays re-
ceived from the larger one, and throws
them on the lens of an immensely pow
erful microscope. Thus a clear and
brilliantly-lighted picture of the moon
or star under examination is brough:
immediately under the microscope.
which has magnifying power of many
million diameters. Herr Mayer ex-
plains that it will thus be possible, al
most to see the time by the watch of
the "man in the moon," or to see the
bridges Gf any over the canals of
Mars

ENEMIES OF STREET CARS.
The Bucoifc Drivers of Beer and Ice
Wagons Cause Worry to the
Motormen.

The arch-eDemies OF thestreet car are
the beer wagons and the ice wagons.
The naughty car can strike terror 10 the
buggy or brousbam or huckster's cart,
and even the furniture van fights shy.
but beer and ice wagons are built fer
keeps, and would just as soon have a
collision as not. Nothing short of a
house falling on them could shake the
driver out OF. his seat, says the Chicago
Times-Herald. .54s 80
There issa certain air about these
drivers. The man that drives the beer
wagon is always full of beer, and the
ice wagon man serves many saloons;
at any rate, they have the same cast OF
countenaDce-stoid, indifferent, half
defiant. And they act just the same.
They keep the track in spite of eongs,
whistles and threats, and they take
every chance of crossing in front of a
car, and then they smile to zee the con-
tortions of the gripman and his brake.
But they. never speak or turn their
heads. Just drive on, impaksively, as if
there was not street car In the whole
world.
Gripmen and motormen foam tn i'm
potent rage, and would be driven 10
drink if they had time, but it avails
them not. 1t is supposed that when q
street car man loses his job he takes to
driving beer or ice wagon and thus
gets even with the corporation.

In the English official regulations for
1898 1t ie stated that the mean extreme
range of the Lee-Mettord bullet may
be taken as about $500 yards, although,
with strong wind, 3,760 yards have
been observed. The bullets find their
way through joints of walls, unless the
walls are made very fine and set in
cement. About $50 rounds, concentrat-
ed on nearly the same spot at 200 yards,
will break a nine-inch brick wall.
Rammed earth gives less protection
than loose. When fired into sand the
bullet is found to be always turned
aside after it has entered little way.
The following thicknesses of material
lin inches) are usually necessary TO
stop the regulation 1903 inch bullet:
shingle between boards one, hardened
steel plate one-fourth, good brick worl,
nine, sack of coal 12, hard dry mud
wall IA, peat earth 80, compressed cot
ton bales %, oak 27, elm 80, teak 3e, fir
As, clay 4e.

A HORSE THAT SHORES.
Kansas City Has a Nag That In q Curl
osity I'm the Animal
Kingdom.

Snoring men are as plentiful as whis-
ky in Kentucky. However, while this
evil is predominant with the human
race, yet 1t is indeed seldom that a
member of the animal Kingdom be-
comes afflicted with the snoring habit.
There is just one case of the kind known
to exist in Kansas City, Kan, and while
there is no question about the existence
of this one case, the afflicted animal
contracted the habit from man, says the
Kansas City Journal.
Prince, the Oldest horse in the Kansas
City CKan.) fire department, has the
snoring habit, and he's got it bad. All
of the "laddies" at fire headquarters
have good records as snorers, but
Prince can allow hem all bad cold and
then beat them out, pulled up. Snor-
ing Prince, or the prince snorer, is the
horse driven by Assistant Chief William
Mcconnell He generally minces away
at his food until after 12 o'clock each
night, providing there are no alarms
AT about this hour he lies down in his
stall, and in u few mir utes his eyes
close, and soon thereafter the snoring
begins. The noise produced by the
sleeping horse is similar to that of
snoring man. Before it became known
that Prince actually snored several of
the firemen, who take turns about
watching at night, were accused of go
ing to sleep on duty. The only founda-
ton for the accusation WAS the snor-
ing. In order to prove their innocence
1t became necessary for them TO peach
on Prince.

On last Monday Senator Abbott re.
ceived notice of his appointment as
Deputy Revenue Collector for this dis.
trict for the remainder Of this fiscal
year. He declined II and for the same
reason that he declined the other.
We approve Of his course, as do all
other Republicans who know Of the
tender and the refusal. Abbott ie-
serves and should have something
equal to his ability and to what he
merits as a fighting Republican. The
other fellows get there, and the Nor.
gan braves are not only just as deserv-
ing. but more SO. Like all other Re,

THURSDAY, JUNE 18TH.


Pipe Line Picnic.
The annual picnic Of the employees OF
the Buckeye and Eureka Pipe Lines
will be held this year on Thursday,
June 10th, at Buckeye-Eureka Park, at
the head of the Island. This date is
several weeks earlier than last year
and will avoid the intense heat of mid
summer. The invitations for the event
will be issued some time this week.
The picnic this year will undoubted-
ly eclipse any similar demonstration
eyer held in this part of the country.
The management of the Park Associa-
ton have worked untiringly to make
the equipment of the picnic grounds
absolutely perfect and they have GER
tainly succeeded. 1t is doubtful
whether there is a pleasure resort in
the Ohio Valley that in beauty and
comfort will equal Buckeye-Eureka
Park. Many smaller picnics have al
ready been held there and the general
public is familiar with the en-
ticing surroundings. One of the great
est improvements recently added is a
S5O-light dynamo. At night, with the
lights all on, .he park is ia scene Of
brilliant and almost magic beauty, and
without the varied forms of innocent
amusements with which it abounds. is
a place worth visit from the busiest
man.
All the railI Dads entering the city
will make cheap excursion rates and
run special trains on the day Of the
picnic and the visitors from the various
stations of the two pipe line companies
will reach far into the thousands. The
committees having the event in
charge are laboring industriously and
Judging by the perfection Of arrange
ments in past years they may be expect
ed to pull off the picnic without hitch.

SET THE ICE CREAM AFIRE.
Joseph Jefferson Tells Of q Funny
Incidcnt In q Western
Theater.

Joseph Jefferson, at recent dinner,
where he was the guest of honor, said
that he had been asked 10 tell some of
the curious and amusing stage Incl
dents that had come under his observa-
tion during his long career. In compn-
ance with this request he narrated u
number of ludicrous occurrences that
came to his mind on the spur of the
moment, and among them he recalled
the happenings at a theater in one of
the western towns good many years
ago.
The stage properties and resources of
this theater, Mr.. Jefferson said, were of
the most primitive kind. There was
banquet scene in the play, az which
molasses and water did duty for wine,
and Sea Island cotton acted the part Of
ice cream. The stage manager did not
practice total abstinence, and his assist
ants took their cue from him.
On the night in question one of these
assistants, who was far from sober, in
placing candelabrum on the banquet
table, managed to tip lighted candle
over into the ice cream bowl. And the
spectators were instantly treated to the
unparalleled experience of seeing ice
cream in a blaze.
Their enjoyment of the situation was
increased by the further mistake of the
tipsy assistant. who. being instructed
TO put the light out and not noticing
that the ice cream was on fire. stag
gered back to the table and extinguished
the candles.

APPOINTMENT DECLINED.

To the Philippines.

Dan Van voorhis Goes With His Regiment
To the Philippines.
Dan Van Voorhis, son of Hon. 81. C..
Van voorhis, has declined the commits
sion of Captain in the commissary de-
partment which was rendered him by
President Mckinley, says the Zanes-
Vile Time Recorder, and left Mt. Gret-
ma, Wednesday with his regiment, the
Tenth Pennsylvania, for San Francis
CO to join the expeditions to the Philip
inc Islands under General Merritt.
The young man is corporal in Com
pany Fl of this regiment which has
been honored above any other volun-
teer regiment in that it is the only regi-
ment in the east to be selected for this
service and has started on the longest
trip ever made by United States regi-
ment either regular or volunteer. At
General Merritt's request the best sea-
soned troops were selected for the
Philippine expedition for it is realized
that they will have fighting to do as
soon as they land and that they will
have a force superior in number to
contend with. Young Van Voorhis
shows that he possesses the true Buck
eye grit in refusing soft snap with
good pay and choosing TO share the
dangers and hardships of the boys with
whom he enlisted, at sl6 a month.

A SUGGESTION.

What use are our alleys meant to
: serve? This is very natural question
as one looks down the many narrow
lanes of our city. Is an alley intended
primarily to be a thoroughfare or a
dumping ground? One citizen con-
trolling spacious backyard regards
the alley beyond as waste basket of
large proportions. Once or twice a
year he burns up this hideous accumu-
lation which, from time to time, has
been lessened by winds that scatter
the lighter refuse hither and yon. An
other citizen regards his share OF alley
as an adjunct to his stable. When the
stable is cleaned, however, he ignores
his responsibility for that maldorous
and disgusting place outside Other
citizens apparently regard the alleys
as convenient receptacles for all refuse
which cannot easily be burned. The
alleys thus become dumping grounds
for old shoes, trailing ends of twisted
wire. worn out kettles, broken bricks
and broken glass.
If this passageway between streets
is meant to be used at all as u thor
oughfare is it not an obvious absurdity
to litter it with piles of rubbish which
render it dangerous and we'll nigh an
impossible roadway for horse or man?
Are not many citizens thus defeating
the very purpose for which the alley
was intended?
There is no reason why these little
streets should not be given the same
careful attention which we give to our
main thorougfares. Not only should
they be kept free from rubbish and
rickety garbage boxes, but they should
be made slightly. The City Fathers in
sist that they are too poor to take care
of the garbage and refuse, so each
householder must solve the problem
for himself. There are many men who
for q small fee, empty the garbage
boxes regularly for certain families.
They will also, at slight expense, re-
move to some suitable dumping ground
the refuse which should be kept be-
tween while in barrels Garbage
boxes, if they must be kept in the al
leys, should have well-hinged covers,
such as are to be seen in the alleys Of
the larger. cities.
A walk through one of our alleys af-
fords an interesting stndy. There are
startling differences between the vari.
Gus sections, differences not discerni-
ele between the corresponding grounds
fronting on the main street Some OF
the fences are freshly whitewashed or
neatly painted, others are deplorably
rickety and unsightly, Some are COW
cred ithvines which present a well
come and pleasing contrast as one
gazes down the vista Of unkempt road.
Why not seek to make our alleys SO
tidy and attractive that it will be q
pleasure to look or pass through thems
Let us think of them as courts if that
name will help to dignity them. Let
every citizen make visit to the alley
behind his house and see what he can
do to improve it.
