AN ACTOR'S STORY
How "Ten Nights in a Bar Room

and the town was in fever of ex-

were two tickets in the field, license

the licensing of saloons and the lat

"Ten Nights iu a Bar Room"

minutes when a committee from the
licensing party waited on our man

wouldn't show. The manager had
a shrewd head and he reserved his
answer. He told the manager of
the theatre about it and the maga-
ger was with the no license party.
He offered Martin $3.50 to put on the

what a good thing he had an

Miss Clara Barton 5 plan to have
twentieth century watch meetings
is rapidly spreading to all parts
OF the country. Her idea is to
have the people assemble at their
churches, lodges or homes on the
night Of Dec 81. and watch the
birth of the new century at mid
night. Many will act upon her
suggestion. She does not prescribe
the details, leaving the size of the
crowds to individual preference.
There will no doubt be many
meetings in which two will make up
she crowds to act as death watches
for the nineteenth century. They
will assemble in a dimly lighted
parlor, while the old man foots the
bill for the twelve-cent coal con-
sumed. Some of these watch parties
will doubtless celebrate the event
the only one of the kind they will
ever witness--in a manner thai
might shock Miss Clara if she
should happen to peep in as the
Bridge of Time is crossed.

ment to their adoption in this city, as
Chief Swenie pointed out, is the increased
first cost. With the administration unde-
cided whether or not to cut down the
working force of the department in order
to keep within the appropriation, it is
doubtful If any $4,000 fire wagons will be
purchased.
The automobile wagon built by Mr. Steck
has been tested on some of the viaduct
inclines on the West side, and it has been
found it will climb a grade of % per cent
at a speed of five miles per hour. 1t can
be stopped more suddenly than a team of
punging horses, as the motor can be re-
versed and the wheels will slide on the
road a. few feet and act as an effectual
brake. The cost of operating 1t Is about
one-half cent per mile while it is I'm
ton. When It is in the engine-house there
is no expense. With the ordinary fire
wagons the cost of maintaining the horses
goes on continually. The front wheels
will probably be protected by fender to
pick up the excited citizen who finds a
fascination in running in front of a fire
engine when 1t is in full tilt.
The next move following the introduce
ton of Mr.. Steck's automobile hose and
chemical wagon will be the invention of
an automobile engine which will do away
with the boiler and furnace now in use
on the fire engines and supplement them
by the use of the electric power which
propels the engine to also work the
pumps. The difficulty now appears to be
that the pumps would use up all the
power in the storage battery in a fire of
long duration and connection would have
to be made with a circuit of some kind
a trolley wire, for instance--to continue
working the pumps This, however, will
probably be overcome in some way by in
ventors in the near future. The engines
might be put into service in the down.
town district only and a series of cir
cult connections at the fire alarm boxes
arranged that the automobile engine
would connect with a wire ending in the

current lasted,
The application of the storage battery
to hook and ladder trucks is. of course,
simple problem of construction, but has
not vet been attempted. What all. the in

looking for is a storage battery OF lighter

might be run 1000 miles without oiling.

For practical use In the fire department
It Is designed that the engine house be,
connected by wire with an electrical cir
cult OF any kind except an alternating
current. In Chicago the circuits of the
city electric light stations could be read
lily utilized. A plug could be inserted in
the storage battery TO feed it. and when
the forty cells are filed the current ceases
to flow into the battery. Then, when
an alarm Is sounded, there would be no
hitching OF horses, slamming of stall
doors and adjusting of harness. The men
neeu only spring 10 their places Oh tne
automobile. the driver throw the lever
and away goes the chemical, the plug
pulling out by the motion of the machine
in leaving the engine house. On the re-
turn from the fire the plug would be
again inserted so the battery would fill
up with power during the rest between
runs. Thus the apparatus would be in
stantly ready at all times, and 1t is very
doubtful II the enAre power of the bat
terry would ever be consumed in one run,
as 1t lasts three hours In full operation
and ceases to expend itself the instant
the machine stops at a fire. However. the
storage batteries are easily interchange
able, and in an emergency filed bat
terry could be brought to the scene of the
fire and inserted in place of the empty
one.
The cost of such a combination appar-
atus is $4,000. The wagons similar to 1t
now in use drawn bv horses cost about
$1,000. But the difference in the cost of
maintenance of the horses whose aver
age life in the Chicago fire department is
not over five years, would be consider
able item. The expenditures for feed, vet
Urinary service, blankets, harness and
purchase of new animals would all be
done away with on the adoption of the
horseless fire engines. The only impede
