the fire was partly under control the
engine broke down. The loss was

Star course to Akron. Seldom indeed
is it that one course includes two or
chestra attractions, but the Star
course this year is headed by the
Chicago Marine Band Orchestra, to
be followed later by the Boston
Symphony Ladies' orchestra. Mr..
II. P. Brooke, of the first named Or
ganization, is acknowledged to be the
best director in the country, and to
get his orchestra to Akron requires
sum considerably in excess of
$500. Two other numbers of note
are those of the Sammis-Jac ackson
Concert Co. and the Williams and
Miles Song Recital. Mr.. Miles is
considered to be as great an artist
as Mr.. Jackson, and will make his
first appearance in the city on March
8.
Considering that not more than TOO
Grand Opera House seats are avail
able for concert goers, and the large
expenses incident to the course
aside from the charge made for the
talent it will appear that considera-
BILE of a sacrifice has been made by
the management Of the course in pre-
senting the attractions to the peo-
pie. The patronage, however, that
will be possible in the future. with
the completion Of the Music Hall,
ought more than repay for present
sacrifices.

Mr.. Wild an Enthusiastic National
Unionist.

Mr.. Alexander Adamson, the bulk
of whose trade consists of the manu-
facture of rubber making machinery
molds, ETC.. stated to a reporter for
the Democrat Friday morning that
the constant addition of new rubber
factories has not abated, and that
shipments of machinery and appl-
ances for the rubber trade is very
brisk.
Mr.. Adamson has business dealings
with nearly every rubber making
concern in the United States, and his
knowledge of trade matters is exten.
sive.
The machinery and all steam appli>
ances, ETC., of rubber works have
been almost entirely changed during
the last two or three years. Newer
and handler inventions. labor saving
devices, automatic steam and hy-
draulic presses have done away with
old hand worked affairs, and an up.
to-date rubber factory is model of
mechanical ingenuity and conven-
ience. The need of the newer ma
chinery, because of sharp competit-
ion in the trade, has been the reason
for such factories as Mr.. Adamson's,
and that they have plenty to do is
best testified by the busy appearance
of the shop itself.

MINING MACHINERY.
Changes Being Made in North
western Branch Houses.

Numerous changes are being made in
the mining machinery business through
out the Northwest, in the location OF
branch houses and the managers there
of. II. V. Croll, who has been manager
OF the Spokane, Washington, branch
office of The Edward p. Allis company,
has been appointed manager OF the
branch office to be established ut 4l4
Dooly block, Salt Lake City, for the Al
disclaimers company, with the territory
OF Utah, Nevada, Montana and southern
Idaho under the direction of this office.
The Spokesman Review claims that
the general western branch of the re-
Gently formed trust has been established
there. 1t says:
The newly formed machinery trust,
the Allis-Chalmers company, will con-
duct its entire northwestern business
from Spokane. The general agency will
be established under George A. Bradley
The only other selling agencies in the
west will be ut Denver and Salt Lake.
The Spokane Office will handle the en-
tire business of the trust for Montana,
northern Idaho, Washington, Oregon
and British Columbia.
There was the keenest rivalry on the
part of firms in Butte, San Francisco
and Portland to get the agency, Us an
enormous volume OF business will be han
died through it. Butte men especially
wanted the office, and they went back in
shoals to Chicago in the hope OF getting
the appointment. They were disap-
pointed, however, for General Manager
Chalmers decided to locate the agency
in Spokane, as he considers this city the
center of the mining industry in the
northwest. George A. Bradley, head OF
the Bradley Engineering and Mining
company, has been appointed manager.
A. W. Sayles, formerly Spokane agent
for the old Fraser 4 Chalmers company,
will assist HIM. G. +. Bruff, ut present
assistant manager of the Bradley En-
gineering and Machinery company, be-
comes general manager of the company
in succession to Mr.. Bradley, who gives
up direct charge Of that concern in order
to handle the business of the trust.
The company will have offices in the
building now occupied by the Bradley
Engineering and Machinery company.
The location of the agency in Spokane
makes this city the center of the ma.
.chinery business for the entire north.
west. Thus it is that mining machinery
for all of Montana, northern Idaho, Ore
gon, Washington and British Columbia
will be handled through this city.

LED from the cliff down to the beach,
some hundred yards or so from where
the prisoners stood, and down this we
scrambled, avoiding carefully every lit
tie twig that might betray us by it's
swapping and forcing our very breaths
to come lightly lest they should stir
the leaves and give the alarm.
The breeze had dropped, the air was
heavy and still, and the gable of the
Spaniards' voices came to us softly
through the silence. A slight mist had
blotted out the stars above, and the
only light we had was the fitful glare
of the bonfire. 1t burned DULY for the
most part, giving out dense clouds of
smoke that rolled slowly upward till
they were lost in the dark night, but
every now and then some one would
give the logs stir, and the darting
flames would for moment send lu-
rid radiance over the whole scene
There in the creek we could see Will

up to his chest and his smooth, bald
head shining like mirror in the fash

and, to judge from the shouts of laugh

" at the speaker. "And will you I'M

us there to seek assistance? promise
you your liberty and capful Of gold

growled out the fellow. "May my fin

ever hale rope for you again and may
my eyes drop out of their sockets if
they ever see to drive a nail for you,
except into your coffin! That's my
answer, and you won't get different
one from any lad here" And then he
spat contemptuously and relapsed into
silence.
His mates nudged one another with
their bound elbows, and burst into q
leather lunged cheer of appreciation.
That's it, lads" sang out Willie
Trehalion "stick to it; never give
way, an these unsailorly lubbers will
have to leave their bones on the is
land, unless the devil, their master,
comes to fetch them away in flaming
chariot O. birthstone"
But at this point, at sign from Don
Miguel, the guards led off our poor Eng
lish lads out of sight-into cave, we
supposed-and as two or three Span
iards showed signs of wanting to scale
the cliff we retreated to the covert
where we had left our two men. In it
we lay close all the rest of the day.
The time was one of plans and plots,
of doubts and difficulties; but, though
we whispered together long and ear
nestly, yet so still did we lie that the
parrakeets perched boldly in the
boughs above us and preened their bril-
liant plumage in the sun as though
their nearest enemy were many miles
away. Great velvet winged butterflies
as large as linnets fluttered past ou1

bodies, but never thought had we fol

were busy and anxious.
