One of Shields remarkable achieve | ments was performed recently in Gin cinnati He rode down ladder | extended from a second story window
 to the street below. The angle was at least sixty degrees, and the window
 out of which he was to ride was tWen-
 ty-four feet above the pavement.
 Shields appeared at the window and his
 cries to the crowd to keep out of his way only brought them closer. At a
 word he jumped on his wheel and shot down the ladder like a streak. At the
 multitude thought that he had been
 thrown against the curb and killed. but
 bottom a crash came. The excited
 in second he was on his feet, safe and sound
 The first man to ride down the east
 steps of the Capitol on a. safety" was | Charles Fitzpatrick, the famous one- | legged bicyclist. Fitzpatrick also ac- complished the feat of standing with his wheel on top of the power house chimney. He is also reported to have stood on the top of the great Lapey Wheel, in the Isle of Man. This wheel is over a hundred feet high, and it's cir 1 conference is covered with buckets into which the water flows, one reYolu- tion being made every forty seconds.
 Fitzpatrick obtained permission to have photograph taken of himself standing on the platform at the top of the wheel. This, of course presented no feature of danger, and was probably used by Kil
 patrick as a mere preteXt for very daring act. He had timed the revolu- tions and decided that he could jump out upon the wheel, be photographed and get back within the forty seconds, feat which he safely accomplished. The performance terrorzed the onlook- CTS, who thought every moment Kill patrick would be dashed to the ground.
 Fitzpatrick, 1t would appear, has a veritable passion for risking his life. Some time ago, when he was in South Africa doing his one-legged bicycle act with a travelling circus, he climbed up on the back of an elephant and stood on the animals head. It was risky, said the keeper of the elephant, for there was no knowing what "Old Ben" would do. But when Fitzpatrick got safely down he was not satisfied and asked the keeper to show Ben the bi- cycle to see what he would do with it. The elephant calmly examined the wheel, then held 1t up in his trunk for closer inspection, and, with Fitzpatrick on his head, was snapshotted by the ubiquitous camera Washington Times.

ALI SAFE.

Those who have seen the excursion steamboats in New York harbor on Summer Sundays and holidays have oo- oasionally thought that they were over crowded, and have feared for those on board. But the report just made by the inspectors from the custom house is reassuring. The harbor is under the control of the national government and inspectors were sent out from the GUS tom house to board every excursion steamer last Sunday and report on the number of passengers. The inspectors were armed with automatic registers, which would come as near to recording the number of passengers as any de- vice. Although the last boats in from Coney Island and Glen Island were heavily loaded these inspectors fail to report that in any case t!:e passengers exceeded the number which the boat was licensed to carry.
 This seems to be another case where appearances are deceitful. It is pleas- ing to know that a paternal govern ment is looking sharply after the safe ty of some oF its citizens,

National pride wont pay our coal bills, but it will help us to feel big while we work to get the money with which to pay them. The figures of the coal trade of the world show very plainly how fast this country is outstripping England in regard to the amount of coal mined. In 1898 the production of the United King dom was greater than that of any other country, but in 1899 the United States forged to the front, the figures being 226,544,000 tons for the total product of the United States, against 220, O95, 900 for the total production of the United King dom. Last year our country made still further gain, producing in 1900 245, 422 900 tons, against 225, 1S1, 900 tons for England. In 1900 109, ,225, 900 tons were mined in the German empire, while France produced only 32,5S7, 900 tons. It is estimated that the total yearly coal production of the world is some $50, ,00O,- 900 tons, of which the United States and the United Kingdom account for almost three-quarters,

JDST AND GENERO US,

One of the things for which Admiral
 Schley is respected and admired by
 the people of this country is his
 readiness to give credit to all who did
 There is glory enough for all,," he said, and his saying was both true and generous MT. William H. Hyman, of Baltimore, a marine engineer in the merchant service, writes to the Balti- the compliments paid the engineers and tine stokers by Admiral Schley in con- nection with the battle of Santiago, as related in the Sun by MT. William N. Thomson, who had talk with the Ad- miral shortly after the memorable en- gagement. MT. Hyman extends his thanks through the Sun to Admiral Schley, flor remembering the engineer and his importance aboard the ship" He adds: T do not remember any oc- casion before where the commander of any ship, either government or mer- chant, ever gave any credit to the en- gineer, either for coolness during dan- ger or efficiency in critical periods. As a general thing, it seems to me they do not appear to know the men in tie en- gineering department at all. I hope the words of Admiral Schley regarding men of this class may reach every true American citizen"
 Possibly MT. Hyman's memory does- nit cover all the facts, but it Is un- doubtedly true that the men below decks, whether in government or mer- chant service, who discharge the im- portant and exacting work committed to them faithfully and bravely, haven't had the recognition due them. Admiral Schley has done well and justly In re- the engineers and the stok- CTS. Great men often forget those who nelp them.

as physician who had attended him. His going to the hospital, having no previous acquaintance with the boy, no interest in the case except in his pro- fessional capacity, and attempting to obtain from him declarations as to the accident, was unauthorized and imper- tinent."
 This decision will strike most people as just, but some might argue that if the injured boy told the truth to tfe doctor there would he no wrong in ai- lowing the doctor to repeat it on the witness stand

DOCTOR IND ENT.

The New York Appellate Division of the New York Supreme court has made an interesting decision concerning the use which can be made by doctors of information gained by them in treating patients The case was that of Griffith vs. the Metropolitan Street Railway Company. A surgeon employed by the railroad company saw the plaintiff, a boy, immediately after the accident. After the boy was taken into a drug store the doctor went in to see him. and volunteered his services to stop the flow of blood until the arrival of the hospital doctors. He again saw the boy at the hospital ten days after the acci- dent. The boy was then in bed, and the doctor asked him to tell him the details of the accident The boy told him some of the facts, On the trial the railroad company tried to put in evidence the testimony of this doctor, but the testi- pany claimed was error In ruling as to the relations between the boy and the doctor, and the right of the latter to divulge what he learned. the Court said: 1.-The surgeon, while thus at- tending to the boy to stop the flow of blood, occupied to the boy the relation of physician, and when the witness subsequently, went into the hospital, af- ter the amputation of the boys leg, and asked him questions as to the accident, the boy was justified in treating him

Steam railroads traversing the country between Pittsburg and Detroit will soon have a lusty rival in the form of long distance trolley roads. Within few days it will be possible to cross from one of these cities to the other by the Iong-distance electric system now being perfected. The route includes Toledo and Cleveland. These lines are being developed, in regard to length of road, speed and carrying facilities, so as to make them an important factor in twentieth century transportation, both as to freight and passengers. Within recent years Cleveland has be- come a sort of hub for suburban and intercity electric lines extending to most of the important towns and cities within a radius of fifty miles, and 1t is these lines which will constitute the basis of the new system. Contracts have been let for rails for five hundred miles of new track and high-power mo- tors which will give a speed of more than sixty miles an hour. They will be used on the new Detroit Toledo sys- tenn.

GREAT MEETING
OF VETERANS
Will be 6. A. R. Encampment
Next Month.

The next national G. A. r. encamp'
ment, which is to be held at Cleve-
land In September, will doubtless be
attended by more veterans than have
attended an encampment In many
years. The short distance from Cleve-
land to Buffalo and the great extent to
which the show will have been ad-
vertised by visitors by the time the
encampment begins, will cause the
veterans to turn out as never before.
Rooms and board for many visitors
TO the encampment have already been
secured and those who look forward
to attending this meeting Of Civil
War veterans, will realize that so
many of them will never again be
assembled, for they grow constantly
older and the death list increases
faster each year.

there was n terrible struggle, during
which one of Mr.. Fosburgh's ribs was
broken. Mr.. Fosburgh also received
heavy blow on the head, presumably
inflicted by a sand club In tho hands

GROWING.
The Association
Formed In Akron.
Opera House Managers
Doing Well.
National Association the
Next Step.
Pennsylvania Must First Get Into
Line.

Secretary A. G. Henry of the AS
sociation of Ohio Opera House Mana
gers, which was organized here in May
writes very encouragingly to Manager
Z. *. Albaugh of the Akron Opera
house. He predicts that within short
time every opera house of any conse-
quence in the state will be represented
in the association. Already Oil City
and Wheeling managers have asked
to join the good work" and have
become members.
1t will be a sorry day for barn,
stormers when they strike Ohio here
after, il the association is able to
accomplish all that it has set out to
do. And if it succeeds pretty well,
Manager Albaugh has a plan in mind
to organize a national association.
Indiana and Illinois already have as
sociations of the opera house mana
gers, Ohio is now organized and SC
is New York. If Pennsylvania will
come into line by next season nothing
more will be necessary to combina'
tion of the state associations.
| To effect this Is desirable for tn,
reason that, while n company ma,
start out we'll, it is likely to fall be
low its original standard if 1t has hare
luck. Cheaper people will be employ
ed and all that. With a national as
sociation these facts could be dis
seminated among theatrical manager.
