canals the boats are drawn up and
down elevations on great cars with
high sides and open ends on track
IS feet wide. These are the original
cable cars. The principle by which
they are operated, the endless cable, is
exactly the same as that which was
utilized for operating cable cars in
cities. This method Of transportation
has been in use on the Morris canal for
half a century, and antedates the intro.
duction of cable cars by at least IS
years. The illustration was taken on
the canal from Boonton to Montville,
N. j., where the unusual features of the
canal are most in evidence.
An interesting feature in connection
with the Morris canal is that this is
likely to be the last year of it's opera
ton, as an effort will be made at the
next session of the New Jersey legis-
lature to secure it as a means of fur.
nishing Jersey City with additional wa

Fire destroyed the Hennepin block

and her aged father-in-law, Isaac
Crawford, lived on the fourth floor at
the rear of No. 325. The man succeed

people watched her peril.
Finally ladders were placed and
Fireman Berwin reached the top and
secured the boy which the mother had
placed on the ledge of the window.
Then he descended as rapidly as possi-

However, she had dropped back in

WILL VISIT DUBLIN.
Queen Victoria Has Decided to Hon
or Her Irish Subjects.
During Her Visit to the Eme raid Isle
She VIII De Entertained by the
Earl of CadoGan, Lord Lieu
tenant of the Kingdom.

George Henry, earl of Cadogan, lord
lieutenant of Ireland, who will act as
the official host of Victoria during her
majesty's visit to Ireland in April, is
probably the one individual in the En-
erald Isle who is properly equipped for
so lofty service as entertainer of the
queen of England and empress of India.
Personally the earl has done much to
distinguish himself. His high rank in
prominence in conservative politics,
but he is by no means as great man
as some of his predecessors in the of
flee he now holds. That Office is ire
mendously greater than the man, and
few Americans know the extent of its
dignity, it's retinue and it's largess.
Lord Cadogan's establishment is
more regal than those of more than
half of the kings of Europe. This is as
it should be-from the standpoint of
royalty-for he is vice regent of Ire
land and the official name of his seat
is the vice regal lodge" situated in
the most pleasant part of Phoenix
park, Dublin, and upheld by state as
magnificent as the impoverished coun-
try which supports it is squalid. The
household of the lord lieutenant is real
ly a royal court, and no small court at
that. A glance at it's composition will
show that the queen will be subjected
to no mean entertainment when she
lodges at the palace in Phoenix park.
The salary of the lord lieutenant is
100000 year. This sum he is sup
posed to spend annually with the lavish
hand of royalty. He has private sec
rotary, who is paid as much as is the
president of the United States. He has
an additional private secretary and
two assistant private secretaries, who
receive large stipends. Among other

the Ulster king of arms, the state stew

household are under salaries more or
less liberal, the least useful officials re-
ceiving the highest pay.

committees.

GOING TO COLORADO.
For the Sole Purpose of Living In a
Political Atmosphere.
Al the Age Of II Mrs. Catherine ".
Waite, of Chicago, Has Formed
a Law Partnership with Her
Husband at Denver.

At the age of Il Mrs. Catherine V.
Waite is about to form law partner
ship in Denver, COL, with her husband,
former Judge Charles B. Waite. The
firm will be C. B. & C. V. Waite, and
friends will be disappointed if the aged
couple do not make some of the hus-
ting western firms do their best to
maintain prestige. Mrs. Waite, who is
now in Detroit. has lived in Chicago at
various times since 1855, and her home
is at present with her daughter, DR..
Lucy Waite, % Loomis street, in that
city. She has been lifelong friend of
Susan 3: Anthony, and is one of the
most remarkable women of the west.
Having lived in many states of the
union, Mrs. Waite is going to Colorado
because she believes it has the only at
mosphere congenial to women of bust
ness ability and who desire voice in
the administration of public affairs.
The versatility of this energetic wom-
an is shown in the fact that she has
been farmer, teacher. lecturer, an
author, a merchant, a builder, a real
estate dealer, lawyer, a contractor
and manager of large moneyed inter
ests, and has attained eminent success
in each of these callings. While at
tending to her law practice and her
large business affairs Mrs. Waite ex-
poets to find time to complete the gath
ering of data for the publication of a
scientific work which is to be published
in Berlin. In it she will attempt to
demonstrate that woman can be a
successful wife, mother and business
woman at the same time.
Mrs. Waite was born in Canada and
educated in Galesburg, ILL.,, and at
Oberlin college. In the early COS she
arrived in Utah and fought Brigham

The gears in use are an adaptation
of the carriage gear, but improved and
made identical with the pedestal gear
used on locomotives. The wheels are
of wood, and are furnished with three
inch solid rubber tires. The rear wheels
are AZ inches, and the front wheels &c
inches in diameter. The motors which
drive the rear wheels are mounted on
with the front wheels by means of a
small handle close to the driver. I'm

A cell storage battery, which has suffi-
cient power to drive the vehicle %
miles on one charge, and at rate of
speed varied by controller from a
slow walk to Is miles an hour.
The ambulance, as described by the
New York Tribune, is trimmed inside
with leather, and has room for two
patients besides the surgeons. Twenty
candle power lamps are fixed at either
side of the drivers seat, and another
lamp of the same power is placed in the
roof and lights the interior. The win
dows and the back door are plate glass.
A new feature about the ambulance
is the bed. This is arranged so that it
may be pulled out and still remain at
tached to the body of the ambulance.
When the vehicle backs up to the side
walk the bed is drawn out and rests
like shelf over the sidewalk; when the
patient has been lifted to it the shelf
is moved back into it's place.
The new ambulance is supplied with
all the modern fittings, and on trial
run it made 14-mile trip to the perfect
satisfaction of the builders.

Killed by Dynamite.

Axel Cederberg was killed by dy-
Mantle explosion in ST. Paul, and his
brother Charles, narrowly escaped
death. The men were engaged in heat
ing a dynamite stick to be used in
blowing out stump, which was in
the way of their excavation. They
built small fire and placed in it sew
eral pieces of rock. On top they laid
a piece of sheet iron, and on this,
buried in, the small heaps of sand,
they placed the dynamite. At last he
informed his brother that all was in
readiness and took the dynamite from
the sand. But the explosive was
warmer than he thought, and the
stick burned his hand and he dropped
it, causing a terrible explosion.
Alex was blown ten feet and in
stantly killed, while Charles was bad
ly shaken up. The explosion was heard
all over the Midway district
