The numerous hold-ups of through
passenger trains has caused an en-
ginccr on the Monon road to apply
his ingenuity to the task of invent
ing n device by which the crew of
the entire train are warned of any
occurrence on or near the locomotive
that seems to indicate hold-up. The
device is operated by means of air,
and connects every part of the train.
The engineer may give the warning
unnoticed by anyone near the engine,
and any trainman may use the same
contrvance to warn hands on any
other part of the train. including the
engineer or fireman. A mere touch
of button will set a dozen whistles
blowing, put out the lights and fire
off one or more guns in the baggage
car. All this sounds very ingenious,
but if the robbers are not scared
away the train hands must fight
them just as they did before.

a chance to win s.. The news butch.

he held. The young man bit at the
bait and paid the $50. The books
were then shutlled about by the "ncws
butcher and presented for the victim
to pick out the volume he thought con
tanned the money. There appeared
peeping from the leaves of one of the
books what appeared to be the edge OF
n bill. Ofcourse, the victim picked thut
volume, believing the edge Of the bill
had been carelessly left exposed. But
he was like an other such suckers. He
found when he opened the book that
there was pasted on the edge Of the

Philip ID. Armour had six rules of
success. They were the following:
Good men are not cheap.
Capital can do nothing without brains
to direct It.
mo general can fight his battles alone.
He must depend upon his licutenants,
and his success depends upon his ability
to select the right man for the right
place.
There is no such thing as luck.
Most men talk too much. Much OF my
success has been due to keeping my
mouth shut.
''The young man who wants to marry
happily should pick out n good mother
and marry one of her daughters-any
one will do"
Armour was man worth following
in many ways.

X. P. Banquet.

The X. P's held their annual ban
quet III their hall last Tuesday even
ing and had one of the best they
have ever held.
AT seven O'Clock the Knights and
ladies began to assemble at the Cas-
tie while the banquet was being
prepared by Caterer L. II. Errison
in the hall below. The reception
comlnitte stood in waiting and vel
coined each conner with the grace
and dignity becoming those who
have won the golden spurs Of
knighthood and taught those les
sons of courtly chivarly and decor
urn in the ceremony of the castle.
Fair ladies in their best smiled eX-
pectantly toward their neighbors
showing they appreciated the honor
bestowed upon them.
When all the knights had assem-
bled they went to the banquet room
where all the dainties and solids
one could wish We're beautifully ar
ranged and all stood about the
tables while the prelate invoked the
blessing of deity on the assemblage.
All was harmony and pleasant to
every one present.
After the banquet while still seat
ed about the board Knight Thomas
introduced c. A. Marlin as toast
master who in few remarks put
all in good humor and then intro.
duced Chester W. Marlin who re.
sponded to the toast, Our Ladies.
He was following by II. l. Wissler
who responded to the toast" What
we do in lodge ;" He informed
them that they left their wives at
home for one thing but did not al
ways forget them as shown now.
They adjourned to the castle hall

was then introduced but excused
himself becuse he had not known he
was on the program. ii. l.. Missile.

Jew moments telling how painful
were his memories of certain Aud

understood why. The ladies again
sang song and Mrs. Witthauel
recited an original poem, thai
she said she supposed was part o.

The male quartette then closed the
progham and the remainder of the
evening was spent in games of al
kinds.
Every one pronounce it a success

FIRE IN A THEATER
MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF AUDIENCE
IN CINCINNATI OPERA HOUSE.

All Get Out of the Building Safely--Soth-
ern's Company Was Playing Hamlet and
Nothing to Indicate the Possibility of a
Panic Occurred.
Cincinnati, Jan. 23.-The Grand
Opera house was last night totally de-
stroyed by fire, except for it's stauncb
outer walls. The house was packed
by u brilliant audience. The first act
scene of Hamlet had been finished and
in the second E. II. Sothern, acting the
part of Hamlet, had spoken but few
lines when a slight disturbance was
observed in the orchestra seats. 1t
was caused by q slight issue of smoke
at that point. Mr.. Sothern stepped to
the front of the stage and assured the
audience that everything was all
right. To further remove apprehen-
sion Mr.. Sothern resumed his part,
but before he had spoken two lines
the smoke issued in such volumes that
there was a spontaneous movement of
the people in its vicinity. Without
further order or suggestion or advice
one of the most remarkable scenes
ever witnessed in a crowded audience
took place. It was as if the whole
situation had been revealed to every
person in the house Without single
shout or anything else indicating a
leader, the dispersal of the audience
began and was carried out with as
much order and composure as if no
such thing as fire had ever been known.
In the lower part of the house the
abundant passage of Vine street gave
an easy egress to the greater part of
the audience. A large number of the
audience seated near the orchestra
We're assisted by the actors and ac-
tresseS to mount the stage and to make
their exit by the stage door, This as
sistance by the company was all the
more appreciated when it is under
stood that it was rendered at the cost
! of an entire neglect of their own per-
sonal property.
1t appears that the fire started in
some way from the furnace under
meath the orchestra. 1t soon commu,
nicated to the stage and to this fact is
owing the loss of the greater part OF
the property Of the Sothern company
Mr.. Sothern estimates his loss at $50
600.
Fortunately, the gallery, which has
| the least commodious means of exits
| was not crowded and those who were
| in that part of the theater escaped
with no serious accidents. Here ani
| there some one stumbled on steer
stairway. but ready help was rendered
and there was no one trampled or hurt
Adjoining the rear of the opera
house, separated by an alley, is the
large Butler building. The fire en-
tered this at the upper stories and the
roof and the two upper floors of thai
building were practically destroyed.
The total loss will probably reacl
100000.
