work unless he is sound physically, and

The school possesses a complete fire APP

his genius with such entire love to the

that he made them known and interesting

In 1889 he made voyage down the Con-

FOR A PUBLIC PARK.
Mr.. Dunn Wants to Borrow Governors
Island For New York.

Mr.. Dunn Wants to Borrow Governors
Island For New York.
Elias B. Dunn, the weather forecast
err, went to see Mayor Van Wyck OF
New York recently and talked to him
about q plan to borrow Governors
island from the United States govern
ment and use it as a public city park
leaving the Notifications intact, under
an agreement to return the island II 1t
is ever needed for military purposes.
Mr.. Dunn says that Governors island
could be used as park, under the terms
he proposes, without any cost to the
city, the permits for little refreshment
stands and merry go rounds bringing
in enough money to pay for transporta'
ton back and forth. The grounds are
laid out now, and no money would be
needed for that purpose. If the island
could be borrowed, 81, 900, 600 or $2,-
600, 600 would be saved in the small
parks fund.
Mayor Van Wyck was pleased with
the idea. He is in favor of getting Gov
ernors island by purchase even.
The secretary of war, it is said, has
declared that he would never consent &c
the giving up of the island, but Mr.
Dunn thinks that he could be persuaded
to change his mind. The headquarters
| of the department Of the east, he thinks
could be changed to Fort Wadsworth OF
Schuyler or Hamilton. - New Yori

THEY FEAR COMMANDMENT.

why Atlantic City People Object 20
Carrier Pigeon Loft.
Some of the residents Of Atlantic City
do non take kindly to the idea of having
the national government establish an
immense carrier pigeon loft there. IN
which to keep stock Of the birds for
use in the naval service. The scheme OF
using carrier pigeons to bear messages
between ships at sea and the shore Is all
we'll enough, but the Atlantic City peo-
pie fear that II the central loft and
training station Is established there the
city Will be rendered more liable to
bombardment by foreign foe in case
Of war. This city is the largest and
wealthiest Of the seashore cities on the
New Jersey coast, and il would not be
pleasant to have the place blown out OF
the water for the sake of few hundred
pigeons.
That the government is in earnest In
the matter is regarded as certain. In
spector Train Of the Fourth lighthouse
district was here few days ago and
selected o site on which the loft will be
erected. 1t will be located on the light
house grounds, at Pacific and Rhode
Island avenues, and the birds will be
under the care of Keeper Bills and AS
sistant Keepers Adams and Henson.
The buildings are to be erected at once,
and the loft will be stocked with at
least 500 of the best homing pigeons OBJ
| tainable.
The birds will be principally useful
in securing better cooperation between
land and naval forces in time OF war.
Messages will be dispatched back and
forth between the vessels and this place
and the messages can be wired from
here to any point without delay. This
will save the time and trouble involved
in sending gunboat ashore with dis
patches and will enable the land force
to be more quickly concentrated wher
ever needed. New York Herald.

LUCKY BRAKEMAN.
Coates Is the Hero of Several Wrecks and
Never Lost Limb.


Dora Coates, a brakeman on the Gin
cinnati division of the Big Four road,
has in all probability had more narrow
escapes in the railway service than any
other living man who has himself all
together. He has figured in dozen or
more wrecks and accidents, always be-
ing hurt, but although he has suffered
broken bones he has never lost limb.
About year ago he was in the middle
of a freight that went through bridge
over Tanners creek, east Of Greensburg,
Ind. Ten hoboes, who were in car near
him, were killed, and he escaped with
slight injuries. A few weeks after
ward he was knocked of his train by q
bridge near Lawrenceburg, falling be-
tween the cars upon the ties OF the
bridge, and escaped with but few bones
broken and other wounds Of less serious
nature.
Two months ago near the same bridge
his train parted and ran together, piling
mn eight cars, with Coates in their
midst, another miraculous escape with
but q few bones broken. A few days
ago he was walking the top of his train
while running between Adams and st.
Paul when tramp threw rock al
him. He lodged, lost his balance and
fell a distance into a small stream ovel
which he was then passing. His heac
butted into the soft bottom near large
bowlder, but he Strengthened himself NJ
and walked out. His injuries were IN
! ternal, however, but in a few days n
will resume his dangerous duties. III
was born ON March ID, and four serious
accidents have happened to him on tina
date. His friends and people warn him
but he laughs at the superstition.-St

("All Is lost save himself who canP)
shouted the soldiers of Marshal Victor
ut Marengo when, after sustaining with
Lannes for four hours the fierce on
slaught Of superior Austrian numbers
under General Melas. his men gave way
and fed.
But Lannes formed his men into hol-
low squares, and with the Consular
guard, also in squares. they slowly fell
back, moving like living citadels" over
the field OF battle, sinking by hundreds
under the destructive fire of the enemy,
but still shielding victor's disorganized
troops. ~
At this juncture was seen advancing
over the plain, with banners waving
and trumpets sounding. the head OF the
columns of Desaix, who had heard the
cannonading score Of miles away and
in advance of orders had hastened to the
relief Of Napoleon.
