The men say they are dissatisfied with

Another grievance is that the leaders
in the May strike to the number of 20

the company agreed that no man should

CRANKS ON LIFE SAVING.
4 Peculiar Device Exhibited by One
of the Fraternity.

There are cranks of every description,
and many of them come here to show US
their Inventions" recently remarked the
General Superintendent of the Life Saving
Service to a reporter for The Times.
which, if adopted, they insist, will put
the Life-Saving Service of the United
States on a basis of efficiency unequaled
by any other country in the world"
Recently man from New Jersey called
on General Superintendent Kimball. and
asked permission to don his newly invent
ed life-saving jacket for the purpose OF
demonstrating its many good features.
The permission was granted, and the
visitor proceeded to put on the jacket,
which he claimed was the only salvation
of all shipwrecked people.
In the numerous pockets OF the gar
ment he had slowed away q whisky flask,
4 box containing meat tablets. a candle
and matches, pipe and tobacco, Il re-
volver and a number Of cartridges. To
protect himself against sharks and other
dangerous inhabitants of the waters. as he
said. he girded on himself a long, razor
edged machete. He then inflated the air
reservoir concealed between the outer
and inner cover of the jacket, which
caused him to assume the appearance of
a huge rubber ball.
After he had finished these preparations
he tied his large red handkerchief TO a
bamboo fishing rod as a signal of distress.
and. turning to General Kimball, said in
a self-satisfied manner:
Now general, ] gamble I could live
and float in the ocean this way over
week and feel perfectly comfortable"

STRANGE MARRIAGE PROPOSAL
Nuremberg Lover Finds His Sweet
heart in an Oven.


4 baker of Nuremberg in Germany. re
Gently proposed marriage to girl in sin
eular manner. Ninna and Henry are their
names, but as 10 their family names there
is no clsw. since the German papers which
tell the story CONSIDERABLY refrain from
publishing them. Minna had been keeping
house for Henry for the last few years. and
gradually the two had fallen very much in
love with each other. Minna however
would have died sooner than let Henry
know how she felt toward him. and Henry
was equally bashful. Finally. he went for
advice to an old woman in the neighbor-
hood who makes q living by telling for
tunes, and she counseled him to go during
the next full moon into the large kitchen
where his bread was baked and. when the
cicek struck midnight. to open the oven
and look into IL. she assured him that he
would then see the face of his future wife
Henry went home well satisfied not
knowing that Minna had consulted the
same old woman on the previous evening
and had been told by her that she would
surely obtain her hearts desire if she
would only get into the oven in the kitchen
few hours before midnight during the
next full moon and keep her face turned to-
ward the door. Ninna did so, and, though
the oven was uncomfortably warm, she FAY
as still as 4 mouse until the clock struck
midnight, when loi the door opened and
before her appeared the well-known face
of her beloved Henry. Even then she hard
ly stirred. but stared at Henry. who. ut
terly amazed, at sight OF Sher. speedily re-
treated, evidently under the impression
that what he had seer was some ghostly
vision. The old woIlan-s ruse however
succeeded admirably and in fortnight
from that memorable night Henry aud
Nina we're made man and wife.
