Fuel for the Poor.
To the Editor Of The journal:

The scarcity Of fuel Of all kinds in this
city and st. Paul renders it very diff
cult for poor people to Secure sufficient
quantity to keep them comfortable during
the winter months. r. % 49, -
AS a suggestion, I beg to call attention
to the quantities of discarded railroad ties
in possession of the different lines of rail-
road entering both cities: All these ties
are Of good, sound timber, and would
make excellent fuel.
Could not the railroad companies be in
duced to haul them into the cities and
place them in an enclosure to be sawed
and split into firewood ?-meal tickets be-
ing issued by the superintendent of the
poor to those, doing the work, emitting
them to a meal at some restaurant as a
reward for their services? In this way
fuel in plenty could be supplied at mini
mum cost. ,s-
All these railroad ties are piled up along
the lines of railroad and burned in order
to get them out Of the way-certainly
they could be used for better purpose,

Antitrust LEGISLATION,

There are not wanting anti-adrninistra
ton organs which are finding fault with
the president for not pushing an anti
trust or combine controlling bill to- a. vote
before the adjournment Of congress for
the holidays, It may be remarked that
the president is not on trial in this mat
ter, as he has pushed things just as
far as he has power to push them on this
line by speeches and by his annual mes
sage to congress during the past six
months. He is outside the range Of the
weapons of censure and it is congress
which2is on trial, for upon the last session
duty of fulfilling public demand, loudly
voiced during the late campaign The
president laid upon this congress the re-
sponsibility of action either in new legis-
lation or in amending the Sherman anti
trust law so as to bring it up to the re-
quirements of the present changed con-
ditions. This devolution of duty is just
as positive as it is upon the fifty eighth
congress-, elected in November.
Original legislation on this subject or
legislation anendatory Of the Sherman
law is a difficult matter. There are many
American legislators who regard legisla-
ton, state or national as work which most
anybody can perform. It is just this ele-5
ment who succeed in embarrassing the
country with ill-digested statutes which
have to be repealed or extensively amend
ed after being given statutory effect. The
interstate commerce law is an example,
for its impotency to actualize it's original
intent is admitted by members Of the
comm ission itself. The Sherman anti
trust law requires amendment because the
old form Of "trust' monopoly has given
place to the monopoly Of merged owner
ship. It is true, experiments have to be
made in legislation Old Erasmus OAR
win once said: "A fool is one who has
never made an experiment. Experiments
have to be made to get at the solid truth.
EOne truth established discloses many other
truths, as the discovery Of the law, OF graH-
itation explained many other natural phe-
nomena. Bad and good laws, are known
! by their fruits, and a bad law should
never be repeated in any form, although,
unfortunately, the precept is not always
i observed. In antitrust legislation there
are distinctly defined wrongs to. be re-
/ moved. There can be no feeling in the
i dark for complaint. The attorney gem

: MAELEABLE GLASS.
Columbus, Ohio. DISPATCH

COIumDuS, OHIO, DISPATCH.
Louis Kauffeld, a Bavarian glassworker,
makes extraordinary claims for a new
kind Of glass he has just discovered. It
is a glass of such nature that will not
break. and can be nodded into any de-
sired form, that can be hammered with
out catastrophe-in short, glass that
will be as malleable as lead or any other
metal. With an ordinary goblet made of
this new material you can hammer a nail
into a tough board. You can bore a hole
in a glass pane and then patch it with
another piece of the same kind of glass.
Coffee pots and tea kettles, it is claimed.

will no more crack, even under the most
intense heat, than would steel.

He wished to propose to the girl Of
his choice, but he was nervous. First
he thought of the old romantic style:
"By my halidom, fair one. l would
fain take thee for my bride. Say thou
wilt be mine, and ere the sun gilds the
turrets Of yonder castle the friar shall
unite us in holy bonds"
In the face of the prevalent rage for
dramas Of the olden style, this form
seemed satisfactory. Being an eminent
~ modern young man. however, he
thought again and determined to test
the theatrical mode.
But just at that moment the fair
Mary tripped into the room, and he
blurted out:
"Er-Mary-er-will you-er-well"-
But Mary was far from being con
trary. "Oh, that's all right, George"
said she, II know what you mean.
Why, of course, I will. Papa will be
delighted."-New York Herald.

MACHINE TO BE EMPLOYED.
Electrical Device for Counting Votes;
in CONGRESS.

Washington, May 24.-It is proposed
to install an electrical voting machine.
in the house of representatives, by the
aid of which the roll could be called
or registered within five minutes,
while now it requires As minutes. The,
adoption of the scheme would rob the
flibuster. OF all his %terrors, and would
enable members engaged in committee
work to leave their rooms, register
their votes and return in five minutes,
instead of waiting for their names to
be reached in the regular order.
Speaker Henderson has received
from Architect Woods a report in
which the latter describes an electrical
device which, it is believed, will meet
all the requirements.

MILLIONS IN A GRIP.
Cashier Transfers Banks Cash to New

New York, May 24.-When Alfred H.
Curtis, the cashier of the National
Bank of North America, left his office
during the morning he carried with
him a large satchel, which probably
contained more hard cash than any
other satchel of a similar kind ever
held. There was considerably more
than s4,O00,0 900 in the bag in bills of all
denominations and other currency of
the realm. This load was safely car
ried to the new temporary h%eadquar-
tiers of the bank, which, after Saturday,
will be located at IS William street.

sucking poisonou. wounds.

Among all people the sucking of the
wound has v been considered the
most effective remedy Of immediate ap-
plication for snake bites. In Africa a
cupping instrument is employed in
emergencies Of the kind to draw out
the poisoned blood. The ancients fol-
lowed the same methods, and when Ca
to Rade his famous expedition through
the serpent infested African deserts he
employed many savage snake charm
ers, called psylli, to follow the army.
They performed many mysterious rites
over men who were bitten, but the eff
cacy of their treatment appears to have
consisted in sucking the wounds.
