improved varieties Of such glass The
illumination OF dihgy rooms, shut in
by lofty walls, is increased by the re-

introducing new era in interior

Experiment has shown that an elec.
tric arc can be employed under water
for fusing metal. The intense heat
turns the water surrounding the arc
into steam, thus forming an insulating
cushion OF vapor. Ii has been sug-
gested that with proper apparatus the
electric arc could be employed by div
ers for quickly cutting through large
chain cables or iron plates under
water.

Large Meteor.

Geneva, N. Y.--One of the largest
metecrs seen in this part of the State
in recent wears fell into Seneca lake,
between Earls and Angus, a few min
utes before o'clock a few nights
since, according to several farmers
who live in that vicinity. 1t burst not
more than a second after it struck the
water. The conclusion was distinct
ly felt in this city by several persons
who were on the street at that time.
The first news of the fall of the me-
teor and it's subsequent explosion was
brought to this city by William Gift
ford, farmer who lives about half the
way between Earls and Angus. He
said:
Il heard loud whirring that be-
came roar. | looked up just in time
to see directly in front of me and high
in the air, but fully quarter of a mile
away, huge ball of fire. apparently
five or six feet in diameter. dropping
from the sky. When l saw it the me-
teor was little north of my farm and
almost in a direct line between me and
Dey's Landing, on the east side of the
lake. AS it struck the water less than
a mile from the shore there was ter
rife explosion that knocked me off my
feet The conclusion broke several
panes of glass in the house, and my
wife said that it shook the building"
David Walker. farmer, who lives
about half mile north of Mr.. Clifford.
said that the meteor passed almost di-
rectly over his head, and nearly blind
ed him. "Its light" he said was
brighter than that from an electric arc
light"

Minister'S Talk On Dudes,

New Haven.-Rev. C. II. Mead, of
New York. created a sensation at the
Young Mems Christian Association. a
few evenings ago. He lectured on
Dudes" and before he had finished
his talk there were many athletic
young Christians in the audience who
were ready to put on boxing gloves.
Rev. Mr. Mead. among other things
said; young man. don't be dude. #
God had intended you to be a dude, he
would have made you a monkey in the
first place"
Rev. Mr.. Mead condemned the
young men who wear "claw-hammer"
suits. He referred to the dudes as
having Henry Clay heads without the
Henry,
The minister scored the sharply
pointed shoes which he had seen worn
by dudes.
As most oi the young men in the
audience had their hair parted in the
center of their forheads. Rev. Mr..
Nead's remarks did not make a hit.

Wilson, " Va.-Mr. j. H. Davis, of
siXty-fve Vi c', and Miss Ony Finch,
of twenty -'N"oo, had a runaway match
last FriGIy 9i,-i"oon. Mr.. Day had
been w.g,,r-c. carly years, but mad

which grew into a passionate love
which was strenuously opposed, and in
preparation of opposing obstacles he
had armed himself with necessary ere
dentials, such as license, horses. bug
gies, etc, to meet with emergencies
that might cross his path.
The 5th of January was the day
fixed for the marriage, but news
reached the prospective groom that the
opposition had been renewed and work

cunningness of a fox and with the aid
of two friends. one of whom took the

HIS VACCINATIONS
A Goshen Genius Sells Imitation Scars for
a Quarter Each.
(New York World.)

Counterfeit, or forged vaccination
marks, have been invented by genius
at Goshen. New York. for the use of
those who want to look as If they had
been vaccinated without undergoing
the pain of the puncture.
The inventor made sort of plaster,
looking like wax with the bogus wac
cination" marks on it. He makes
them in assorted sizes and varying in
tint to match the purchasers skin.
He sells them for quarter of dol
lar each, guaranteeing that they will
pass the closest scrutiny and prove as
efficacious as the real thing.
Many children, on being examined at
school, produced forged vaccination
marks and were not detected 1t is be-
lieved that 200 of the counterfeits are
being worn in Goshen.
The ~olice have asked the District
Attorney whether it is possible to pros
ecute the genius who makes and sells
the marks. He has given an opinion
to this effect:
"The uttering or having in one S
possession with view to uttering, a
spurious vaccination mark is not forg-
ing within the means of the act.
"A person who utters bogus vacci-
nation mark or maintains an estab-
lishment where they are coined or
manufactured can not be prosecuted
under the rovisions of any law with
which / am acquainted. The crime
does not even constitute disorderly
conduct.
"The Board CT Health, of course. can
decline to accept the bogus vaccina-
tion marks at par and can insist upon
the tender of genuine vaccination
scars"

First Settler.

According to the history of Dickin,
son county. the first settler in Lincoln
Township was Henry Whitley. of Sol.
omon City. Mr. Whitley located his
claim in 1859, going by wagon with
his young wife and baby from Le-
compton. But before their destination
had been reached the wagon was upset
and the baby killed. The first year
Mr. Whitley managed to break little
prairie, but he was compelled to build
a strong rail fence in order to keep the
buffalo out OF his cornfield. In the
second year he raised little wheat,
which he threshed out by riding his
horses over the straw after it had been
piled in a suitable place on the ground
Taking eighteen bushels of this wheat,
Mr.. Whitley Went to Council Grove,
the nearest place where a grist mill
could be found. and here he was able
to get but $50 pounds of flour in return
for his whole load. And perhaps it
was from the toll taken that Kansas
geperated her constitutional hate of all
form of oppression.-Abilene, (Kas)
Democrat.

what the-Weli-Docs He Care?
Mayor Van Wyck appointed John T.
Meehan a School Commissioners for Man
haitian and The Bronx yesterday In place
Of William I. Emmett, lawyer, who had
resigned. When the announcement was
rade from the Mayors office IL was ex-
plalned that Mr.. Meehan was the personal
choice II the Mayor and that his selection
wa. not In any way due to political con-
siderations.
An effort was made to obtain from the
Mayor the reasons which had prompted
him to regard Mr.. Meehan IA a man qualified
10 hold a place on the School Commission,
but word was brought back to the reporter
that his Honor had nothing to say,
Hitherto Mr.. Meehnn has been principally
known to lame through his ability TO serve
beef and Ho Is part proprietor Of the
beancry in Park Row popularity known rs
.Dolan's," and his friends says that he
con carve and serve more portions Of
corned beef in q given time than any other
man In the business. At one time Mr..
Meehan owned the racehorses Dolando
and Meehanus, but he lost 30 many patrons
by the failure OF these animals TO win when
he Ind tipped his customers that he sold
them both.
On the floor above Mr.. Meehan's beanery
Peter DE Lacy runs a poolroom. 1t wa in
Meehan's place that De Lacy slowed away
his books and his dough when he got a
tip to close. sent as a test by Parkhurst men
over the police wires, after they had dis
covered Upper Whitney's little arrange
mont TO use the police wires for such tips.
Whitney says Devery. the Mayors best
Chief of Police" gave him the Use Of the
wires. Mr.. Meehan said yesterday:
1T was not a political move by the Mayor.
l am Q Democrat. but nm not In politics.
/ think that my friends talked the Mayor
into IL. but the Mayor has really lone a
good thing for himself, My friends appre-
ciate his act. Several OF them told me to-day
that they would vote for Van Wyck for
having honored me, but that they had fully
intended to cut him. In my twenty-five
years here on the Row have been away from
my post for twenty-four hours but once.
Now l will lose some time at the meetings
Of the School Board. / shall continue TO
cut beef and as usual
Mr.. Meehan lives with his wife and three
children in Madison avenue, near Mount
Morris Park. He owns considerable real
estate.
