NEW WATER POWER ERA.
Drainage Canal Engineers Invention
Near Seattle Is Started Sue
cesHfully.

A new era in water power machinery
was marked when the Snoqualmie cy-
cloidal mortar received water on it for
the first time at the great water power
electric transmission plant of the Sno-
qualmie Falls Power company, at Sno-
qualmie Falls, 30 miles from Seattle.
The wheel, an entirely new and orig
inal design in hydraulics, is the inven-
tion of Thomas II. Johnston, chief en-
gineer of the company and of the Chi
cago drainage canal commission.
When the great valve was opened, ad-
mitting the water, the machinery be-
gan to turn without hitch. The water
wheels and dynamos are located in a
huge underground cavern, eNcavated
out of the solid rock at the level of the
river below the falls. Twelve thousand
horse power, the initial installation,
supplies all the industrial and CONNER
cial needs of Seattle and Tacoma at
present. Most of the output is rented,
and enterprises in this section have an
auspicious future. Lines have been
built into Seattle, 80, and Tacoma, A
miles, the steel and stone distributing
stations nearing completion.
The water wheels attained an eff
cheney of 90 per cent. Seattle is boast
ing of the best power plant in the
world, and President Baller is receiv-
ing congratulations of friends. W. II.
Baker, Chicago capitalist, is the prin-
cipal investor in the enterprise.

WILL NOT DRAW SALARY.
Postal Service, Manifests Supreme
Indifference to Pay Day.

The clerks in Washington have COM
planned to the post Office department at
New York City because Col. Marion D.
Wheeler refuses to draw his salary.
Col. Wheeler, until a month ago, was
chief post Office Inspector of New York
city. He is now stationed at Hancock,
N. Y. He manifests supreme indiffer-
ence to pay day. Warrants for his sal
airy are accumulating and he has al
ready collection of 80, which he has
had framed and they adorn the walls
of his Office and represent what Uncle
Sam owes him for his services and ex-
penses for 2R years.
The bookkeeper in his division can't
balance his accounts and is getting an
CRY at what he considers a mean-spir-
tied indifference on Col. Wheeler's part.
In his present capacity Col. Wheeler
gets salary of 81, 600 year, with four
dollars per diem for working days and
such expenses as living, postage, tele-
graph, telephone and railway fares.
The colonel is 60 years old. His father
was Clint" Wheeler, a famous repub-
lican of other days. His accumulated
pay now amounts to $500.

ANGRY CITIZEN DROPS DEAD.
Expires While Chasing q Man Whom
He Had Thrashed for Inault-
ing His wife.

A most exciting and extraordinary
scene was enacted at Reading, Pa, the
other day. eliminating in the death OF
William NJ. Fulton, city contractor
and one of Readings very best known
citizens. While Fulton, accompanied
by his wife, was driving by livery
stable, Harvey Whitman, an employe
of the stable, made remark to Fulton
at which the latter took offense, alleg-
ing that Whitman had insulted his
wife. Fulton jumped from his buggy
and thrashed Whitman so severely that
the liveryman took to his heels. When
Whitman ran Fulton jumped into his
buggy, bent on further Furnishing the
man who he believed had insulted his
wife. Whitman ran as though his life
depended on the speed he made. with
Fulton driving madly after him.
Suddenly the liveryman darted into
a grocery store after a chase of three
blocks. Fulton leaped from his buggy,
throwing the reins to his wife, and
rushed through the store after Whit
man. Whitman realized he was cor
nered and looked about for something
with which to defend himself. He saw
a shovel and was reaching for it when
he saw Fulton drop to the ground dead.
The excitement of the chase and fight
brought on neuralgia of the heart.

BUILT FOR GREAT SPEED.
New Train That Will Oner Least
Resistance to wind and Will
Go 40 Miles an Hour.

Within few months the Pennsyl-
vania and the New York Central rail-
roads may have in operation trains
built with the smooth lines of an ocean
steamship. Frederick U. Adams has In
vented train which, he says, can run
12O miles an hour far more easily than
trains to-day can run go. The train
which Mr.. Adams has designed offers
hardly any point upon which air pres
sure could be exerted. The engine il
fitted with prov like the cutwater of
q ship. There are no spaces between
the cars. The wheels are inclosed al
most down to the level of the track.
There are no projections from any part
Of the train.
The windows are set flush with the
sides of the car and cannot be opened.
This does not mean that the train is
unventilated. On the contrary, the
ventilation of the new trains will be
much better than by the open window
method.
The New York Central and the Penn
sylvania railroads are now making ar
rangements to give the Adams system
thorough test. Trains are now being
built on the Adams plan and will be
used when completed.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPH.
The Automobiles for Military Use
VIII Also Have . Very Thor
Ough Test.

Wireless telegraphy will receive a
boom. Gen. Greeley, chief of the sig
nal service of the army, will begin
series of experiments. much more COM
prehensive than the recent tests be-
tween Washington and Fort Myer. He
has been awaiting the return from Eu-'
rope of Capt. Squires. of the signal
service, who was sent abroad to confer
with Marconi and investigate the prog
ress of wireless telegraphy in Europe.
Capt. Squires has directed all the
government experiments heretofore
made. He will be ready soon, it is said,
to begin new tests based on informa-
ton acquired while abroad.
Messages have been successfully sent
from the roof of the state, war and navy
building to the signal Office at Fort
Myer, q distance of three miles. 1t
is now proposed to use in this connec-
ton automobile carriages, which are
expected this week, and the tests will
have a twofold object, first, to deter
mine whether wireless telegraphy is
possible under ordinary field condi-
tions, and, second, how far 1t is practi-
cable to use the automobile for trans
portation purposes in the army.
The automobiles will be given a fair
test on the roads and hills of Virginia.
If they prove satisfactory automo-
biles will be sent to the Philippines to
be used in the fall campaign. Their
use there will be to carry light field
guns to shell the enemy's intrench-
ments and clear the way for the troops,
and also to keep the signal service corps
abreast of the advancing army. The
tests will be severe enough to clearly
demonstrate whether the automobile
can be successfully used in army oper-
ations.

Good Judgment.

To the prudent property owner who is look
ing carefully after his own interests, and often
those Of others intrusted TO his care, how nec-
easary becomes the vital question Of "Good
Judgment"
This peculiar sense the average man is often
called upon to exercise in the course Of . life
time, and II we are sure to note, this matter Of
good Judgment ia not gift, but is usually the
result of a careful study of situations and
circumstances"
To us. it would therefore seem good sound
judgment for those about to insure their prop
erty, to study we'll the last annual statement Of
the AMERICAN FIRE INSURANCE COM
PANY, of Philadelphia. copy OF which we
have before us for our annual review.
This reliable old company WAS founded in
1910, eighty-nine years ago, and judging from
their statement (from which we quote briefly,
it is surely improving with age"
With y capital Of half q million dollars it has
assets aggregating e. ITO. tat 81 or nearly three
millions Of dollars. Its surplus is now 1904,
1888 AZ and has paid to its policy holders $20,-
1853, 1856
This will serve to show that after an existence
which is nearing the century mark, THE
AMERICAN FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY
is safer and stronger than ever and should be
congratulated on its fine showing.
The AMERICAN stands for all that is con-
servstive and progressive in Fire Underwriting
and has earned for itself Q name for prompt
and honorable discharge of its obligations Sec

WANT OTHERS TO SEE TROPHY
Three Oaks, Mich. Plans to share .
Sight of the Cannon with
the West.

Now that the jubilee is over the resi-
dents of the quiet little village of Three
Oaks, Mich, are making plans to bring
the cannon which was won by the larg-
est proportionate contribution to the
Maine monument fund from San Fran
cisco. The trophy of the victory in Ma
nila bay will be set up in the village
park in plain view Of passing trains. 1t
will prove of great interest as his
torical memento. 1t is the only article
in America that served as link in the
memorable victory of Admiral Dewey,
by whom it was sent as his personal con-
tribution to the monument fund. The
cannon was taken from Corregidor is
land, where it helped to resist the en-
trance of the American feet into the
bay.
Suggestions have been made that dur-
ing the journey of the big trophy from
San Francisco some of the western
cities should have the opportunity to
view the big brass cannon. A plan
might be evolved to hold patriotic serv,
ices in the several cities on the day the
cannon passes through, taking advan
tage of the opportunity to raise funds
for the monument.

Friendship Insurance.

That there may be such thing as
carrying insurance too far is indicated
by the case of Mr.. Mulcahy and Mr.. Null
hooly, two Irish gentlemen. Though
they were known to be great friends,
they were one day observed to pass each
other in the stI eets without greeting.
"Why, Mulcahy," a friend asked, in
astonishment, have you and Mulhooly
quarreled?"
"That we have not!" said Mr.. Null
cahy, with earnestness.
'There seemed to be a GOODNESS be-
tween you when you passed just now" "
"That's the insurance of our friend
ship"

AFTER HIS OLD HOME.
President Mckinley Trying to Buy
Homestead in Canton.
1t Il Dear to the Heart of the Chief
Executive, as Around II Clus-
ter Memories of Thir-
~ Years.

President Mckinley is negotiating for
the purchase of the house made famous
throughout the country in the cam
paign of 1896 as the mecca of hundreds
of thousands of voters who came to
Canton to have the future president
point out the path for return to ma
tional prosperity. The negotiations
have progressed so far that it is con-
fdently asserted the purchase will be
made.
The Mckinley homestead, besides be-
ing famous in political annals, is dear
to the heart of the president. There it
was that he entered into married life
30 years ago. Clustering around it are
the cherished memories of children
born and buried. Attached to it are the
loving remembrances of the presidents
aged mother, who passed away in De-
cember, 1897. while the nations chief
was bowed in grief at her bedside.
When the projected purchase is effected
1t is expected that because of these
memories the president will make few
changes in the house.
Canton is rejoicing over the news, be-
cause it sets at rest rumors that when
Mr.. Mckinley sets official duties aside
he will not return to his old home town.
Many have said that when he removed
to the old Saxton homestead after his
mother died it was the first step toward
departure from Canton. Hence the gen.
eral satisfaction caused by his pros
pective return to his family homestead.
The negotiations are being conducted
for the president by Attorney Austin
Lynch, the law partner of Judge Day,
Mrs. Elizabeth A. Harter, the present
owner of the cottage, declined to talk
for publication, but Mr.. Lynch said
"No deal has been closed, but negotia.
tions the pending. There are some legal
points that hope can be arranged"
The house is commodious two-story
frame building with large verandas. II
stands on lot about 100 feet front and
about twice that depth.

JULIA DENT GRANTS GOWNS
Description of some of the Costumes
Made I'm Paris, Forming Part of
Her wedding TrOusscau.

Mrs. Julia Dent Grant, with her
mother and grandmother, Mrs. Fred
erick Dent Grant and Mrs. U. S. Grant,
is at the Windsor hotel in Saratoga.
Miss Grant, her matrimonial prospects,
and her exquisite gowns are subjects
in which all Saratoga seems to be in
terested.
The following are among the many
gowns which are being completed in
Paris for Miss Grant, who is to be mar
ried to Prince Michael Cantacuzene, of
Russia, at Newport:
A black silk gauze, to be worn at
court, is brilliant with threads of pure
gold wrought into a rich design of
Florentine iris. Two trails of this gold
work pass up the front of the gown,
while at the lower part of the skirt
it widens out considerably so that all
the bottom of the gown is weighted by
its rich burden. On the softly-gathered
waist bodice there is similar gold en-
broidery. solid gold narrow girdle.
with gold buckle of Russian design,
will be worn at the waist.
Another ball gown of Miss Grants
is made of white crepe de chine and
broad Brussels lace insertion, made
over white peau do sole. The long
trained skirt is striped horizontally
with bands of the crepe and lace and
meets a simple but little waist bodice
made entirely of fine tucks of crepe.
with band of Brussels lace at the
decolletage. The feature of the gown
is u wonderful embroidery Of green
leaves, starting at the left shoulder and
reaching to the foot of the skirt. This
is exouisitely fine handwork, and be-
tween the leaves are sprays of orchids
in shades of pink and purple, green and
white. These flowers are made so well
that the curled petals Of silk, velvet
and chiffon deceive an expert. There
is a girdle of mauve velvet, and the
flounces of white tulle between the
skirt and it's separate lining makes soft
pillows about the feet.
A fish scale sequin gown is another
evening novelty in this trousseau. The
close-ftting princess robe is entirely
formed of overlapping greenish scales
and falls upon f1ounces of black nous
seline de sole. The decollete bodice and
tops of sleeves are finished with q
wide putting of sea-foam green nous
seline.

STORM DAMAGES DRY DOCK.
The One at Brooklyn Navy Yard Is
Probably Rendered Unusable
for Two Years.

The Brooklyn navy yard dry dock No.
2, for which 100000 was appropriated
by the last congress for repairs, has
been SO seriously damaged by storm
that it probably cannot be used again
for nearly two years. The bottom Of
the dock on the eastern side bulged for
a distance of over so feet. The bulge
ranges from one to ten feet in height.
The rainwater is supposed to have
worked down beneath the dock and
loosened the abutment. The dock,
which is a wooden one, cost about ST.
100000 IL years ago. Repairs have not
been begun under the appropriation OF
congress which is now available.

rah did not shut the window last night.
I shall get my death cold, Kate!"
But Kate did not stir until her name
had been called several times; then she
answered drowsily.
Get up, child! It's your wedding
day, too, and in danger of pneumo-
nia," called her aunt.
Kate shut the window and helped the
irate lady to dress, touching her hair
with dainty, soothing fingers as she
arranged it.
The household arose and went about
its tasks. Visitors came and went.
Kate kept her secret well. The cere-
mony was over which made her wife.
The bridal dress was exchanged for a
travelling costume.
II shall take the iron box to the
bank as we go to the train, auntie,"
Kate said, as she bade her good-by.
"As you please. I've had my say
about it, and no harm came of it,
either" was the tart reply.
No one knew of the tragedy which
did not take place in the silent watches
of the night.
No one knew until Kate, nesting In
her husbands clasp as the train sped
onward, told him the story in her own
way and time.
"But the hair-did you save itP 1t
is q olew," he said, quickly.
II burned it," was the calm reply.
II did not need to save it, for knew
whose it was. always thought he
liked aunt's money better than me-
Now know that he coveted the dowry
more than the bride. But the money
is safe in the bank, and wasn't it
strange that he should be there to see
it deposited?" /.
"Not George Travis?" calculated
Harry.
"Yes. Let him CO." she whispered,
softly, nesting closer. think what
he lost-what you gained, Harry dear.
Let his own conscience punish him|f
he has any. Wen never let aunt
know. We will keep our first secret to-
gether."
Harry Winship was man. He could
not refuse his wife's first request, and

She heard the village clock slowly
strike the hour of midnight, then one,
two and three.
Kate's apartment was dark, but the
moon shone dimly into her aunt's room
just across the hall.
Suddenly a form stood in the door
way, then vanished within.
Was it the tramp? Was that some
thing in his hand knife?
Kate stole softly through the door
way, listening breathlessly. Then she
1arted into q small room, near Mrs.
Driscolrs door.
Suddenly the door was noiselessly
closed, and a man stood 80 near her
hiding place that she could hear his
hurried breathing.
The faint odor of chloroform told
why the door was closed.
What If he gave an overdose?
Kate loved the stern woman, and,
notwithstanding her timidity, that
thought nerved her to action.
She sprang from the room with a
shrill cry, olutching both hands in the
hair of the intruder. 1t is needless to
say that he was startled out of what
little common sense he possessed.
He threw her violently aside with a
muttered oath and fed. But he left q
generous lock of hair in her hands.
Her head struck corner of the door
in falling, and it was dawn when she

Womanlike, she rushed to see if the
iron box was still safe. 1t had not been
disturbed. Then she threw open the
door of Mrs. Driscoll's room. That
lady was unconscious. but breathing
evenly. Kate's courage returned.
Silently she opened the window, let
ting the fresh morning air draw freely
through the room. Then she crept into
her own bed to wait developments.
Before sunrise Mrs. Driscoll awoke.
"Mcrcy on usi" she screamed. mo
