Mrs. Schwab, widow Of Justus
SchWab. runs the little basement bar
room at 80 First street, New York,
where Emma Goldman makes her
headquarters. The saloon is q low
ceiled, smoky, dirty room, with q short
bar extending lengthwise in the front.
Over Mrs. Schwab's head hangs a
ba~ss-relief Of Marat, with an old-fash-
Toned fintlock pistol, the barrel wound
with copper wire, swinging beneath
It. On the wall opposite her is a
blackboard with Anarchistfc placards
and notices on it.
Beyond the bar are two or three
round tables and a beer stained piano.
Then comes another room, with a long
table lined with chairs. There the
Anarchists who make Schwab's saloon

Justus Schwab has pounded the table
with a beer glass for a gayel while

Fire Signals.

At a meeting Of Hope Hook and
Ladder Co. No. !, held on July 8,
1901, the town was divided into Fire
Districts and a Code of Signals was
adopted in order to facilitate the loca-
ton of fires in the future. The town
was divided as follows:
District No. ALI that portion OF
lawn bounded north by Bellevue
street. west by Union street, south
and east by corporation line.
District No. 2-All that portion Of
town bounded by Bellevue street on
the south: Union street on the west,
and corporation line on the north and
east.
District No. 3-Theportion of town
living west of Union street, and south
of Bellevue street, with the corpora
ton line as the south and west boun-
dairy.
District No. 4-TLe portion of town
bounded on the south by Bellevue,
east by Union, north and west by cor
~poration line.
The Signals adopted were short taps
TO indicate the district in which the
fire is located, followed by rapid
alarm, same to be repeated until gen.
eral alarm is given.
To illustrate, should an alarm be
sounded for DisNict No. 8, first three
taps, one,6two. three, followed by rap

power has made her the high priestess
of the most rabid and fanatical of the
Anarchists.
On the East Side she is known as the
"Little F~irebrand." Her views are ex-

average run of Anarchists.

was born in Russia and educated in

was seventeen, and according to re-
port has had several husbands since.
When she Is in New York the Gold

Emma Goldman first came into
prominence in New York City during
the bread riots Of the spring and sum-

Since then she has been the most
reckless of all the incendiary speech
makers in the ranks Of the Anarch-
lists in this country. The character
Of the woman and her doctrines are
best shown by her speeches. In these
she has repeatedly said:

"When I die I would rather go to
hell than to heaven. All tyrants go
to heaven"
II am against all laws"
Emma Goldman spent ten months
in the penitentiary on Blackwells ISL
and for a speech she made in Union
Square on August 81, 1898, during the
bread riots. She was convicted Of In

According to the Baltimore Sun q
man need not be a scholar to be an
inventor. One of the most successful
aeronauts of old times who had made
a study of aerial currents and the
management of balloons, once deliv-
cred an address In which he referred
to the anaconda as the largest bird
that ever few" and he also remarked
that 'the mental faculties Of a mans
mind is so constructed as to bring
things down to a pins rint." He also
referred to the currents of air as
stretchums, meaning strata, and yet
he was one of the foremost balloonists
of his time. He was an inventor also
OF many useful things, and was the
first man in the country to suggest an

frequently manages the hotels or acts

THE "TRUE" NEGRO.
The Type from Guinea Is the Most
Distinctly Characterized of All
the Blacks.

Coming to the diversities of the stock
among the pure Africans, we may first
note the type which, in the rough judg-
ment Of the public, is the real or Guinea
negro. That he is so taken is doubt
less because he is the most distinctly
characterized of all black people, says
Prof. N. S. Shaler, in Popular Science
Monthly. The men of this well-known
group are generally burly fellows.
attaining at q relatively early age a
massive trunk and strong thighs; they
have thick necks and small though
variedly shaped heads. The bridge
of the nose is low, and the jaws pro-
-truding. The face, though distinctly
of low type, very often Las a very
charming expression-one in which the
human look is blended with q remnant
of the ancient animal who had not yet
come TO the careful stage of life. The
women OF this group are well made,
but commonly less so than the men.
In general form the two sexes of the
group are much alike, a feature which
also indicates an essentially low sta
ton. These people of the Guinea type
form perhaps one-half of the southern
negroes.

SIGNALING AT NIGHT.
Successful Experiment with Kite
and Search Light, at BayOnne,
New Jersey.

A system of night signaling with
flags held up by Kites and lighted by
suspended search-light was tried
some time ago at Bayonne, N. j.,
says Electricity.
The search-light was of about 100
candle power, and was suspended
within a few feet of the flags. The
light was sent up at a quarter to
seven o'clock, hung two feet below the
flags, each of which was two feet
square. Both light and flags were
supported by one nine-1oot and one
seven-foot kite. The flags were fas-
tened to the kite cable by perpendicu-
lar stats. To light the flags the
search-light was rigidly braced on
the kite cable in such a position that
it pointed straight skyward. AS the
kites carried the cable upward, the
glare of the fiery pencil passed be-
meath the flying kites and upward into
space. The rapid futtering of the
flags caused the effect of a stream
of blue, white and red fire, extending
10 or IL feet beyond the search-light
reflector.
This invention will probably not
only be used in signaling in time of
WAT, but will produce effects of great
beauty in night carnivals.

THE HOUSE.

The House has passed passenger
rate bill limiting the fare to cents per
mile on all roads longer than so miles.
A bill changing the time of holding
school elections from June to May and
the organization of new boards, from
July to June as well as preventing old
boards from hiring teachers for the en-
suing year unless the term of school
commences in the outgoing year, intro
duced by the representative from
Mason, has now passed both houses
and awaits the governors signature
The Capitol removal bills have been
sent back from the committee with the
recommendation that they be indefi-
nitely postponed; so it seems at the pre-
sent time that the capitol is in no
danger of leaving here though the court
house bill might fail. The latter has
been recommended for passage and
may come up this week in the house.
There is some talk of abolishing the
Board of Audit and Control, and
changing the system of managing state
institutions, the present plan being
nothing more than a political grab.
There is a fight on between the diff
ferent classes of trap men now over the
depth of the water in which the traps
are situated, some want IS feet at low
tide, others so feet at. high tide. The
trouble is that the locations on the
lower sound are about covered, and the
best traps in the hands of the Pacific
American corporation, while others
want the depth increased so they can
get in again. 1t is simply fight be-
tween corporations, and they unite
against outsiders, so it is not to be
hoped to secure any relief from the
traps in the canal. ''It's matter of
principle" say these grabbers who are
divesting great natural resource to
their private benefit.
A bill which was claimed shut out
the ''osteopaths' from practicing in
the state passed both houses by a large
vote, but the governor has vetoed the
measure. The. medical fraternity is
well represented in the legislature.
The fish committee has recommended
for passage all the hatchery and cycling
station bills. The Skokomish hatchery
and station, and hatchery on the
Big or Little Skookum are provided for.
Gunderson,s omnibus school bill is
about ready for action, and is very
likely to pass the house. He has had
practically all the work on that subject
IN charge, and it will be greatlvicfory
both to him and for the state if it be-
comes law.
The new direct primary law is being
discussed and is likely to pass.
