BRERAM AFTER MAGooE.
Wants the Money He Deposited for
Fire Claim Costs.

Nick Breham, one of the fire suffer-
ers, tried to get in his claim before
the original fire commission-the one
that was turned down-and deposited
$40 with J. A Magoon for costs. Ma
COON was president of the commission.
Nick says that he can't get the money
back from Magoon, nor can several
hundred others who also put up. He
believes that thousands of dollars are
thus withheld, and will induce other
claimants to join him in a suit.

The Domestic Problem.

The San Francisco Argonaut records
the fact that one San Francisco wo
man, after many tribulations through
the shortcomings of housemaids and
cooks, put an advertisement in morn
ing paper for "a clean, reliable young
man of good habits to do housework
and plain cooking" and to her great
surprise had d1sapplicants for the situa-
tion. After few trials she secured q
man who looked far more like capable
business man than anything else, who
spoke correctly, wrote fine hand, and
could roast, cook, bake, scrub, and, in
short, do everything required. When
his employer questioned him he said:
'I am a music teacher. at present
without pupils. l answered the ad-
vertisement because / must earn my
living. My pride is not wounded by
the character of my work. Men are
doing the same sort of work in public
places-hotels, restaurants and institu-
thousand. so far as can see, it really
doesn't matter whether one cooks and
washes dishes in a hotel or private
house. 1t Is work that great many
men could do we'll, and there are many
men doing much harder work for a
smaller return. There are decided be-
nefits in household service. A man is
assured of a good home and good food
and be has an opportunity to keep him
self decently clean without expense. y

Big PIoW Trust.

Farmers will be called upon to pay

Of sixty manufacturing concerns.
Within few days, it is said, G. r.
Flint, one of the largest organizers of
trusts in the United States. will close
the deal. 1t is the plan of Mr.. Flint
and his associates to arrange the clos
ing details before January 18th, so the
trust can reap the benefit of the spring
trade. Plows will be advanced in price
not less than ten per cent. it is said.
From South Bend, Ind. word was
received that the efforts of Flint had
proved a success after negotiations
that have lasted for nearly two years.
Ex.Judge William A. Vincent, accord
ing to the message, has obtained sixty
written options on the largest plow
and cultivatlng concerns in Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio, New York, Michigan
and Wisconsin. These sixty manu-
featuring concerns control the plow
business.
A conference is to be held in New

effort is being taken to keep the date

The WatChword of Women.

Modesty is wOman's watchwOrd.
Whatever threatens her delicate sense
of modesty. frightens her. For this
reason many woman permits diseases
of the delicate womanly organs to be-
come aggravated because she cannot
bring herself to submit to the ordeal
of unpleasant questionings, offensive
examinations, and obnoxious locals
treatments, which some physicians find
necessary. Doubtless thousands of
the women who have taken advantage
of DIR. Pierce's effer of free consulta
tion by letter, have been led to do SO
by the escape thus offered from treat
ment repugmant to mOdesty. Any
sick woman may write to DIR. Pierce,
Buffalo. n. Y, in perfect confidence;
all letters being treated as strictly pri-
vate and sacredly confidential, and all
answers being sent in plain envelopes,
with no advertising or other printing
upon them. DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription has been long hailed as
"a God send to women.n 1t makes
weak women strong and sick women
well. ''Favorite Prescription" con-
tains no alcohol. neither opium, cocaine
or other narcotic.

THE NEW WAR MACHINE.
BattIeships VIII be at the Mercy Of the
New Invention.

4 If certain board of naval officers,
now in session in Washington decides
to report favorable on the invention
of Newport man, the government will
have its exclusive right in one of the
most powerful implements of naval
warfare ever invented.
This invention is what may well be
termed a one-man torpedo boat, and If
it will do the work claimed for it. no
modern warship will be safe from des
truction, while the operator of the boat
would be practically safe.
1t is understood that the naval board
referred TO was appointed to investi-
gate it's invention with view to it's
adoption by the government.
AThe speed of the new boat. it is esti-
mated, will be about forty five knots.
just what the motive power is to be
cannot just now be learned, but it is
understood that both electricity and
compressed air will be used.
The probability of discovery of the
operator of the boat is reduced to a
minimum by various devices, and if the
plans of the inventor do not miscarry
it would be an absolute impossibility
for a hostile war vessel to approach
near enough to a seaboard town to do
damage without being torpedoed by
this little craft.
The vessel is to be built to run be-
q cath the water. and while the opera
tor is operating itnothing but his head
is visible upon the surface, and if nec-
essary, even this may be submerged
and the movements of the vessels di-
rected wholly from beneath the water.
The principle governing the submersi-
on of the boat is said to be wholly diff
ferent from that employed in the case
of the torpe do boats. A person who is
competent to talk on the subject says
that when the plans are made public
they will create world wide sensation.
The inventor is Thomas ]. Moriarty
for years one of the lea1ing machinists
and instrument makers at the govern
ment torpedo station on Goat Island,
Newport harbor, and now president
and manager of the Newport Manu-
featuring Company, which has been
upon government work from
its inception. a few months ago.

Reflections Of a Bachelor.

The average man loses about half OF
his religion every time he loses bis
umbrella.
If an umbrella was made of only one
rib, like woman. you would never be
able to shut it up.
A woman never hears a new cute
baby story that she doesn't tell it at
terward on her own child.
1t always jars a man terribly when
he wakes up after he has dreamed that
bis wife get married to another man.
Up to the time she is thirtya woman
has as many excuses for getting mar
ried as the bundles she cen carry.
You never can see some women with
out thinking what a horrible thing it
would be if pins had never been in
vented.
When a woman in a rainy day skirt
goes along the street, all the men are
too much ashamed to look her in the
face.
Nowadays. if a man only says he
wishes some one would teach him how
to save money to girl, she gets a queer
feeling where she thinks her heart is.
A woman who will admit that her
husband is the only man who eyer pro
posed to her is as rare as man VINO
will coufess that be doesn't know how
to play poker.-New York Press.
