ANNAPOLIS. Md. Feb 25.-The naval
cadets are much disgruntled over the 70
gramme which they understand has been
arranged for their trip 10 Washington to
attend the Inauguration ceremonies. and
complain that they are being treated IN
fairly ii comparison with the boys from

understood here IS to have the cadets Start
early in the morning OF March + The
train upon reaching Washington viii STOP
at Sherman Street. from which point the
battalion viii have a long march TO the
White House. From there they Will
march with the procession and as soon as
the ceremonies are over they VII return

spend = comfortable night at the Ebbitt
House, have their meals served in the reg

AN ANTIQUE FIRE ENGINE.
Saved From n JunkshOp by "a PhIIa
driphia Engine Company.

Saved From n JHnlshOp by PhiIa-
d-iphia Engine Company.
POTTSTOWN. Pa, Feb. 25.-After being
consigned to a junk dealers shop the old
Pilot fire engine, which was used by this
towns primitive fire department 100 years
ago. many years before steam engines
were known has been saved from an in
glorious end by the Philadelphia Steam
Fire Engine Company No. L Cherishing
a warm feeling for the ancient machine
because of its part in the early history of
the town and its services at fires. this
company secured possession of it, and
now it occupies a place in the centre of
that organizations quarters. as pretty in
its new dress of carmine and gold as the
most modern of fire engines.
II IS an unpretentiOus, simple looking
specimen Of early mechanism in fire appa-
ratus- Scarcely higher than a wheelbar-
row. mounted on four wheels. it is proyid-
ed with q tank into which the freighters
Of lCng ago poured buckets If water
which. with a rotary movement of the ma
chine, the power for which was furnished
by the vigorous turning Of a crank, was
forced q distance of seyenty-five feet.
So far as is known there is only one
machine like the Pilot IN existence. and
Ii is in the engine house of a Baltimore
company
There is nothing on the Pilot to Indicate
:. here and by whom II was constructed,
but it is believed to have been brought
from Germany in the latter part of the
eighteenth century.
