ment, Engineers Corson and Schurn-
bersky of engine No. 80 invented
brake attachment which meets the
long-felt want The invention con-
sists simply of a. cog wheel and ''dog"
acting as lock upon the brake and
easily worked from the drivers seat.
The test made in front Of fire head
quarters in the presence of Chief Crok-
er and other officials proved that the
invention is a splendid success, and
every engine and truck in the city will
soon be/equipped with it. The bene-
fits arising from the new brake are
at once apparent. 1t has been too great
a task for driver to handle three
giant horses and at the same time hold
the brake against the wheel when
dashing down some heavy grade or.
trying to slow up before striking down
some vehicle Or careless pedestrian.
Accidents without number which have
happened are now made Impossible. SO
effectively does the new dog and cog
wheel hold the brake when once set.
And now, instead of 1. a long, steady
strain, the driver has only to put the
brake on notch by notch and ..the lit
tie dog" does the rest. Often in DASH
ing to fire some part Of the harness
breaks and the horses, terrified by fly
ing strap or crowding engine, take the
bits in their teeth and usually tear
things up before they are again
brought under control. With the new
brake they can be speedily brought to
standstill. With the new device it
matters not with what speed the en-
CINE comes nor how steep the grade
may be.

SIBERIA
At the Grand Opera House. St. Pan,

At the Grand Opera House. st. Paul
r The attraction at the Grand the
coming week commencing Sunday
night will be BARLEY Campbell's great
melodrama "Siberiah There is fas-
cinatiOn in plays or romances por-
traying Russian life with it's nihilism,
it's autocratic government, it's wrongs
and injustices, that will always appeal
strongly to the theater goer. ''Si-
IBERIA" is one of the most vivid of such
dramas. The story is pathetic, the in
cidents are thrilling, the characters
interesting and the denouement happy.
The struggles Of oppressed against
oppressers are pictured in a romance
which deals with the unbridled pas
sions of the nobility and the retalia-
ton of victims. Snowstorms, knout
punishment and Russian imperial and
prison life are wildly portrayed and
each act. ends with strong tableaux.
The scenes, it is promised, will be
appropriate and beautiful and all the
costumes. made from photographs
taken in Russia.
The absorbing story is frightened by
a vein of excellent comedy which runs
throughout the play and hearty laugh
ter invariably follows the sympathetic
sigh. The cast that will present s.Si-
beria' is an exceptionally strong one
and the scenery, costumes and effects
will be most elaborate and beautiful

of Lawrence, recently engaged plumb
er named Holler to make some repairs:
When the work was done the plumber
presented his bill, amounting to S22,
to Sage personally. The Wall street
financier looked the account over care
fully and remarked, decisively: 'I'll
give you SIS cash." All right" said
Holler, Il need the money" The
other day Sage asked him for an esti-
mate on another job. Holler spent
considerable time figuring and then
said: "Mr. Sage, I'll do that job for
S54." When it was completed Sage
examined the work and protested his
satisfaction. Again the plumber pre-
scented his bill in person for $54. cts
worth $50 cash. said the financier:
Meekly the plumber took his check.
Then, so the villagers say, Holler took
his revenge also. Sage he said, 81

Shot an EXulting Englishman.

The British and the Beers at Peters
Hill were crouching behind powders
scattered over wide surface. The
moment a man on either side emerged
from his cover he was at once the tar
get Of the enemy's bullets. A Boer,
partly, it seemed, in bravado, made a
sudden sally to join a neighbor. An
Englishman who had long watched the
rock and was becoming sick with hope
deferred, took aim and brought the
daring one down. So delighted was he
with his luck that he threw himself on
his back behind the shallow shelter
of his bowlder and kicked his heels
into air: In his transport his heel rose
above the rock, as he was instantly
made aware by bullet TRANSMITTING his
fluttering ankle.-New York Tribune

THEY GOT BIsMARcK's CONSENT

But 1t Was Expressed In Language
Altogether Unconventional.
The difference Of the English royal
family to the opinions of their German
cousins was never better hit OF than
by story which comes from one Of the
royal household, who told 1t to the
writer.
When Lord Archibald Campbell was
about to be engaged to Miss Janet Cal
lender, whom he eventually married. he
dutifully went to his father for his ap-
proyal. Delighted, I'm sure" said the
Duke OF Argyll. "She is in every way
desirable. Has money, good looks,
brains, accomplishments. But err
perhaps you had better let me speak
to Lorne. He may think the Princess
has right to be consulted"
Recognizing the responsibility OF
having royal highness for sister-in-
law. Lord Archie swaited." Lord
Lorne. on being told Of the proposed
alliance. was agreeable 10 the young
lady as far as he was concerned, but
thought 1t only right that the Princess
should be consulted as to who should
enter the family. Now her royal high
ness in her frank. impulsiye way said:
IF Archie likes her, she suits me
down to the ground. She is handsome
and clever. and has strong opinions OF
her own. All the same think must
speak to the Queen first"
Which she did. Victoria not only re-
membered Miss Callender's presenta-
tion at court, but graciously approved
of the match, saying:
However, Louise, think ought to
consult my German cousins first"
And the Queen wrote to Germany.
The Kaiser remembered meeting Miss
Calender and replied to the Queen ap-
provingly, adding, "But / will leave
this letter open for a last word. for
should not care to speak finally until
| had consulted Bismarck"
The Kaiser found Bismarck taking
his ease with rye bread, sausage, beer,
and long pipe, and told him Of the
mighty alliance in prospective. When
the Emperor had finished Bismarck
took his long pipe out of his mouth and
replied
me? Oh, l don't care d--n."
