[News-Democrat Leased Wire Service. ]
New York, Nov. 4.-Both fighters are
resting quietly in the city today. Jim
Jeffries is at the Murray Hill baths,
while Sharkey Is at Evard's baths.
After the battle, Jeffries and his party
went to Ben Cohen's resort where q few
bottles were opened. After that, all
took cabs and were driven to Wack-
erly's hotel where the jollification was
completed. Jeffries will probably sleep
throughout the day. This evening he
will leave for Philadelphia. Sharkey
was driven to Evard's bath and after a
rubbing down went to sleep. Tim Nc
Grath and DR.. Francis e. Butler were
with him. DR.. Butler said: "Sharkey
has lacerated place on the left should

Costly Crowns.

The king of Portugal's crown is esti'
mated by different authorities at "a fabu-
lous value. being, according to some,
equal to 4O14 miles of Bank of England

10 hnndredweight of gold but if we take
happy mean the sum of So, 800, 900 we
shall probably be about right.
Whether the cars crown is not more
valuable than that of Portugal is a moot
point. The principal feature of the Rus
sian crown is magnificent cross, formed
of five superb diamonds, resting on an I'M
cut but polished ruby of great size and
wonderful luster.
The Hungarian crown, belonging TO the
emperor of Austria, was made for Stephen
II. 500 years ago, and it weighs about IA
pounds II is adorned with 80 sapphires,
so rubies, one emerald ard 335 pearls, but
no diamonds appear in il, owing TO some
superstition entertained by stephen that
such gems would bring bad luck to his

FIGHTING HIGH Fires.
What TO Do if Caught IN the

FAMOUS FIREMEN GIVE ADVICE.

How People Are Rescued From Great
Heights-The Scaling Ladder and
the Gun and cable - Precautions
which Everybody Should Take.
What would You doif you were sleeping
soundly on the top aoor of n tall hotel
building and were awakened by the cry OF
fire?
Many hnvo heard Il, and to thousands
it has been n deathkIfil.
After the recent disastrous 1ife in the
Baldwin hotel, san francisco, Chief Sulli-
van of the local fire department was asked
what he would have done if he had been
sleeping on the fifth floor OF the hotel
when the fire broke DOT.
That's "a pretty hard question 70 an
swer," he replied. Certainly the first
thing would have bein TO keep cool head

pipes, and all should have them. These
standpipes are of iron, two and half to
three inches in diameter, and running
clear TO the tops of the buildings. There
are connections on each floor. The hose
which the fremen in the upper part of the
high building have hoisted up is attached
TO these connections, and one of the de-
partment' most powerful engines is con-
Dected with the lower end of the standpipe.
BY means of the pressure this engine can
exert we can get a fair stream of water 2s5
feet high.
Ito rescue people confined in the upper
stories of great buildings by fire raging
below them we have a gun ard projectile
TO which is attached 500 feet of steel cable
one-quarter of an inch in diameter and
having stops every IL inches. The projec-
tile is of steel and is discharged by gum
powder from one of the neighboring roofs
as near the scene OF the fire as possible.
" The projectile Is aimed at n window
where the people in danger are standing
or else to go over the roof and drop down
within their reach. The projectle carries
q thin lire up first, and when the people
have secured this they pull tho cable up.
When connection has thus been establish
ed with the people cut Off by means of
the cable, they have a read to the ground
which IS perfectly practicable, ut least to
our men.
The scaling ladder is another very
serviceable Fart Of the new apparatus. It
Is an ash pole with short crCsspieces. 1t is
Is feet in length, and by its means our
men can climb from story TO story II any
height. They can also descend, carrying
Ecorle who have been overcome by smoke.
Tho life ret, which has saved the lives
of number of people, was one of my own
inventions. 1t is circular in form and
made of the best Russian hemp. Twenty
men held this net, the rim of which is
composed of inch rope, with hand loops at
cached. he men holding tho net keep
their elbows in at their sides so that when
a strain comes, by reason of heavy weight
falling in the middle CT the net, there is
some spring.
The worst dangers that the fireman
knows are encountered when lie goes down
in the subcellar of burning building.
The man who takes line of hose down
into such place faces n great many dan
gers in the darkness and smoke. He does
not know how many devils many be lying
in wait for him. There's tho flame that
may scorch him to death, and the smoke
tn at may choke him, and the back draft
that may blow him out of existence, and
the building itself that may cruInblo and
fall OH him at any time"

several stories from the Grdund without
doing that runs big risk. Besides this,
man should always have little rope
coilod up in his grip, ready for use 1t is
best TO have knots in the rope, say a foot
or two apart, for it would be much safer
and easier to hold with you, feet and
hands.
Il would always have a sponge ready,
too, for my mouth. One can Endure n
great deal of smoke and heat with a wet
sponge without suffocation. II nothing
else is handy, then wet silk handkerchief
or cloth of any kind tied over your mouth
and nose will answer. Never leave a room
in such place without taking these
things and n rope if you have them.
Sometimes a person gets lest in the smoke
and excitement and is not able to find his
door again. This happened ut the Bald

ment who entered the building through
window on tie fourth Ioor. He luckily
found his way out thT"rgh the window or
another room Tho is why n person
should hang on TO his rope when he leaves
his room.
Had found the corridors full of flame
or smoke would ,Iave cravled along the
floor as close as l could. The air is better
near the floor and cooler. Sometimes the
cracks in the floor serve as ventilation Il
there are no carpets.
Il wouldn't have spent much time in
gathering up things in my room, except,
rs 1 said, my rope and sponge. 1t is often
very difficult to tell whether fire IS on
the floor above or below you. The floor or
wall being hot is not always safe indica-
ton. If I found myself several stories
from the ground in a big hotel lire and
had to save myself, 1 would first try the
elevators or stairways. II they were on
fire, or blocked, would next try the fire
escape, and if that were impossible l
would resort TO my little rope which
ought to be as large as three-quarters OF
an inch Anything smaller than this
would cut the hands.
Besides fires thac occur in hotels. which
are not infrequeDt, there Is always the
ever present danger OF a modern sky scrap

Governor Sadler under an act of the
last Legislature. AS no appropriation
was made to enable the Commission
ers to collect and maintain q mineral

operation,unless otherwise stated, Twill
at the close Of the exhibit, be donated
to the Government for a permanent
exhibit at the Smithsonian Institu-
ton at Washington, D. G.
Strong cases with locks and care
fully guarded will insure the safety
of all valuable minerals, so there
should be no hesitancy on the part of
the exhibitor to help the Commission
ers IN showing to the world the true
value and wonderful resources of

ment of the plan for the classification
