Indian Storm.


Indian storm.
CLINTON, Sept. 30.--MiSs Stahl, men,
toned in the Associated Press dispatches
as the heroine of the great disaster in
India, is an Iowa woman. She formerly
lived in Ringgold county, is graduate
of Simpson college at Indianola and
went to India as teacher some twelve
years ago.
CALCUTTA, Sept. 3O.-Ida Villa, a
branch of the Calcutta girls school,
supported by American Methodists,
was among the earthquake sufferers.
The story is related by Miss Stahl, who
saved many of the children. A land
slide compelled the occupants TO leave
the building, and Miss Stahl, guiding
the children, commenced the perilous
climb, finally gaining the mail road.
All the time the rain was pouring
down in torrents, the earth shaking
and the children were terrified. The
blackneSs of the night, falling bould-
ers, crashing of trees and fears of the
earthquake finally compelled the party
to fly into the night. Will Burlee, sole
survivor of those who were caught in
the landslide at Ida Villa, says when
they saw that escape was impossible, n
sister made all kneel in prayer, and,
while kneeling, the house was swept
away. 1t is estimated the loss to the
tea garden proprietors alone is
81, OOO, 900.

Ninety thousand children were in
structed in sewing in the public
schools Of New York city last year.
The value OF such teaching, in inCul-
eating neatness, precision and econo-
my, can be seen by a single contrast.
What is that sharp thing with hole
at one end?" recently inquired a girl
at a vacation school. She had never
seen a needle before. What does your
mother do with your clothes when
they have holes?" asked the patient
teacher. Throw them away, OF
course. What else could she do with
them?"

Dies MONIES, Oct. 2.-Has person a
right to make patented invention for
his own use?
This absurd question comes to us so
frequently that it merits public notice.
No person can make, sell or use any
patented invention without license
from the owner without becoming
liable to prosecution for infringing and
for damages. If one person could do
so, every other person could, and al
patent would be worthless to the own
err. An inventor is not required to state
the various purposes for which his in1
vention may be used. 1t is his, when
patented, for all the uses for which id
is applicable.

FIRE COMMITTEE.

This Committee audited and recon-
mended for payment bills aggtegagins
$36107, which included s118.19 of e.
penses connected with the trading off
of one of the old fire horses for new
one. The Committee realized s35 from
the old horse and paid $3.50 for the new
one.
Engineer Ches. Dunaway appeared
before the Committee. and Chairman
Baird made a statement to the effect
that heretofore it had been the custom
to employ extra engineers to enable
regular men to take a summe" vaca-
ton, the cost being usually $50. This
year Mr.. Dunaway was serving without
cost, but asked instead that he be sent
to the Convention of Municipal Engin-
GERS, to be held shortly at Wilmington.
Del, at the expense of the Committee.
Mr.. Dunaway was heard on his own
behalf, and with the understanding that
the expense should not amount to more
than fifty dollars, Mr.. Dunaway was au-
thorized to go at the expense of the
Committee.
Perhaps the most important matter
before the Committee was the discus
sion of the proposed new engine house
in the extreme eastern portion of the
city. When the subject was introduced
Mayor Sweeney called attention TO Il e
fact that there was opposition among
property owners to having the house
in proximity to dwellings,, and cited the
instance Of Mr.. Kaltenbach. Who had
said he wouk take whatever steps
might be necessary to prevent such a
building adjoining his property. Chair
man Baird recited one or two similar
instances and added that the situation
was somewhat discOuraging, as it APP
peared that everyone in that part of the
city wanted the new house, Tut no one
wanted it in their neighborhood. He
also added some details about visits
and Investigations made by the City
Engineer in various localities along Nc
Colloch street, and added that there
was a prospect of donation of a piece
of ground from a party not named.
Various sites were talked over infor-
mally, with prices asked, one properly
owner fixing his figure at 800 per
front foot for a lot sixty feet deep. 1t
was finally decided, after much talk, to
refer the matter TO the Purchasing Com
mttee of the department, for report
at future time.
