WOMEN FORM FIRE COMPANY.
Men Couldn't Make the Youths Drill, But Feminine Tact Found
 a Way


 Prominent citizens of Norfolk, Conn, have made several attempts to organize a fire company for the pro- teetion of their property in the last year, but every attempt failed, says the New York Sun. There didn't seem to be enough civic pride or enough fear of fire in Norfolk to inspire fire drills, and it seemed as if it would be left to anybody and everybody to get out the garden hose and do the best that could be done if a fire did start.
 Then the women took up the mat ter. They issued a call for young men desirous of joining military com pany. That caught Norfolk's young men. Fifty of them responded, says the New York Sun.
 After that 1t was easy. The young men didn't see just how to get out Of it when, very neatly, the military or ganization was developed into fire force.
 The women bought the hose, and now the town has just as good fire department us it's neighbors of equal size.

PLAYGROUND IN A STORE.
Chicago Establishment Has Inclos- ure for the Aceomm odation of
 Shoppers Children.

Real grass, real sand and real wheel barrows and shovels are to be provided for the children who visit one of the big department stores of Chicago. The idea of day nurseries where moth CTS may leave their children while shopping has been improved on by the management. There has been laid out on the second floor playground for the children, with swings, hamm ocks. sand, and plenty of toy implements for the exclusive use of the youngsters. The pillars which form the corners of the playground are covered with bark and long branches, with realistic leaves on them, twine overhead. giving the final touch to the out-of-door appear ance of the place. The inclosure is surrounded by a picket fence high enough to keep. the children in, but not high enough to make them feel con strained. The first day of the new departure, there was large number of children digging in the sand pile, running about the gravel paths and rolling on the turf. Just as fast as the grass is worn down by the feet of the little ones it will be replaced with fresh sods. Attendants are at hand to see that no necks are broken by falls from the swings and hammocks and to prevent the overmischievous from pouring buckets of sand down their playmates' backs.

OLDEST LIVING ENGINEER.
Now 90 Years Old and Has spent tn Q Most of His Life at the
 Throttle.

Christian Smith, the oldest living en- gineer in the country, is spending the declining years of his life in quietude near Harper's Ferry, says the Phila- delphia Record. He Is 90 years old, but still hale and hearty, and fine specimen of manhood. He Is over six feet in height and erect, and possesses all of his faculties. His eyesight is us good as that of the average person of younger years, and he does not have to wear glasses.
 Mir. Smith is the veteran engineer of the Baltimore x Ohio railroad, hav- ing begun his career on that road in cars. He has served in the capacity of fireman, conductor, engineer, super visor of engines and assistant super visor of trains, and was also station agent at Martinsburg and the Relay up until 1861. He was supervisor Of engines on the second division of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad at the time of his retirement. Mir. Smith ran the first steam engine on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad at a speed of from six to eight miles an hour, which was con- sidered rapid for those days. He in- troduced the sand box in 1886, and in the following year the headlight. Tn 1s42 link couplers were first used by him. In 1883 he retired to engage in the quieter and less dangerous voca- tion of farming.

CRANBERRY FLOWERS.
Beauties of q Boz Blossom with Which Bnt Few of Us Are
 FamiIiar.

One of the daintiest of wild flowers of June is the blossom of that time honored concomitant of roast turkey, arybody knows the berry, few are ac- quainted with the flower. for the peat oogs where it blows in the choice fel- !owship of the stately pitcher plant and the golden club, and of many a rare orchid, are quite remote from the beaten paths of travel, says Coun- try Life i'll America.
 The cranberry plant is a small, slender, somewhat trailing; shrub, with the neatest of evergreen leaves, from amid which few threadlike stalks lift their nodding flowers. When fully expanded the pink lobes of each corolla are curled back like u lily's, and from the heart of them the compressed stamens protrude in the shape of a spear-point or beak. The imaginative may see in this long peaked little blossom resemblance to q tiny cranes head. whence some hard-pressed etymologist has thought to derive the word cranberry--that is, crane-berry.
 Those who like to make place on the home table for oddities and rari- ties of the plant world may we'll in clude in their list for June Il few sprays of the cranberry vine in bloom-the unfamiliar, alert blos- soms, looking brightly out from their green bower, being sure to delight all dower-loving visitors.

"While to speak of deficiency in the treasury surplus seems more than startling," says a Washington critic. ''now that congress has adjourned a brief examination of the national finances is in order. and such an exam ination may throw some light on the 'revulsion' anticipated by Senator vest. According to the statement made py Senator Allison, the financeer of the senate and of the republican party, on the last day of the session, the hftyr seventh congress has so far approprl- ated $500, ,193, ,S37, exclusive of the con- tracts authorized and which must be paid for at some future time. These contracts, from figures furnished me by Representative Livingston, ranking democratic member of the house com mittee on appropriations, amount to $259, ,373,215, making the total appro- priations aggregate $l,059,5 ,567 025. On June 10. Representative Cannon stated on the floor of the house that the esti. mated revenues of the government for the current fiscal year would amount to $639,000,000. It is not difficult, therefore, to see how close the congress just adjourned has brought the country to a deficiency which would certainly be accomplished If. the ship subsidy bill, now in abeyance, were to become a law during the short session."

.ACUINALDO SET FREE
The Former Insurgent Leader
 Afraid to Venture Out.
HE CALLS TO SEE GENERAL CHAFFEE.
Possible Vengeance For the Killing of Luna--The Ryan Court Mar siaI-Major Gardeners Trial
 Is Now Completed.

| MANILA, July T.--As a result of the ! proclamation of amnesty July the guard of American soldiers has been withdrawn from the house where Agui- naldo lived in Manila, and Lieutenant | Johnston, the custodian of Aguinaldo, brought the Filipino yesterday to see General Chaffee. 1t was the first meet | ing between the American general and | the leader Of the Filipino revolution. Lieutenant William E. Mckinley of the Ninth cavalry acted as interpreter. | Aguinaldo was told that he was free | to go anywhere he pleased, and Gen. eral Chaffee asked him if he had any complaint to make of American dis courtesy or harshness. Aguinaldo re- piled that he had no such complaint to make. He told General Chaffee that he | was going to visit friends at his home, in Cayite yiejo, Cayite province, and inquired what protection the American authorities would afford him. He seemed to be afraid to venture out. General Chaffee replied that Aguinaldo would get the same protection IS any other citizen.
 The former Filipino leader then asked General Chaffee to prevent the courts | from requiring him to testify In civil suits. General Chaffee replied that he had no authority to grant this request. He advised Aguinaldo to make social call upon Acting Civil Governor Wright. This Aguinaldo said he would do, but that he would go at night, as he was timid about appearing on the streets in daylight
 The release of the former Filipino leader has renewed speculation as to possible vengeance upon him by friends of Luna and his other enemies.
 Luna was a Filipino leader whom Aguinaldo caused to be killed in 1899. The court martial which is trying Captain James A. Ryan of the Eff l teenth cavalry on the charge of being unnecessarily severe with the natives of the province where he was stationed has admitted for purposes of cross ex- animation the entire report of Judge Rhode which forms the basis of the charges against the captain.
 The cross examination of Major Cor nelius Gardener, governor of Tayabas province, Luzon, by the board which has been Investigating the charges of cruelty, etc, brought by the major against American officers and soldiers has been completed.
 The sultan of Bacolod, Mindanao, has sent an insultingly worded letter to the commander of the American expedition to Lake Lanao, in Min danao, in which he threatens to begin offensive operations i'll August. The sultan of Bacolod is at present strengthening his position.

Before leaving Washington the president authorized the issuance of | document which is another evidence of the willingness of the administra- tion to make political capital out of the army. We refer to the general order issued by direction of the presi- dent and signed by Secretary Root Ill which he indulges In the most fulsome praise Of the army. While there is no sentiment among the democrats which would deprive the army of any of the high praise which 1t deserves, this production of the secretary of war and of the president is so entire ly without precedent and so emphati- cally flor political purposes only" that 1t is regarded as in the utmost bad taste. Tn this connection 1t Is worthy of note that Mir Root has again taken occasion to humiliate General Miles by refusing to honor his recom- mendation that Captain Robert c. Van
 yllet be appointed on the generals staff us Inspector of small arms prac- tice. In refusing to sanction the recommendation Secretary Root refers to article 214 of the army regulations, but, as the friends of General Miles point out, that regulation refers to department commanders, "and has no application to ''the general command ing the army" Therefore the action of the secretary is tantamount to an attempt to place General Miles on the same footing IS Il department com mander and is entirely without the province of the secretary of war.

TOOK DOWN THE WALL.
Drum-Maker Made Bass That Was Too Dig to Get Throngh
 the Door.

It was in the days when big bass they could be made the more they were appreciated, says the Baltimore Sun. It was common thing then to see a great bass drum moving along behind the band, apparently on a pair of little legs, vigorously pound- ed by little arms and completely hid- ing the man. There was great ri- valry among the bands to have the largest drum, and the makers would stretch the skin to the fullest extent to make it cover the barrel of the largest circumference.
 One ambitious drum maker, deter mined to outdo all previous perform ances, got his material together in a back room of his little one-eye house on narrow street and built his drum. It was the largest, certainly, that had ever been constructed, and its tone was as deep and sonorous ns cathedral gong. There it stood, the pride of East Baltimore and monu- ment to the fame of the engineer who constructed it. But, unfortu- .HulSiy, lhs engineer Hhu iulleu 70 take measurements of the door and window. The small room was nearly filled with the immensity of the prod uct of his laborfous zeal in good cause. But it was of no earthly use there, and to land it on solid earth the maker was finally obliged to re- move part of the wall, and the cost of this Caesarean operation greatly reduced the profits of the production.

< To those whose days have been spent in the enjoyment of the freedom of the old west, even as it appeared in the sos, there comes regret in the contemplation of the new order of things. For assuredly the old has given way to thenew, says the Tacoma Ledger. The old west as the early set tiers knew it for 20 years or more has gone as went the Indian and the buffalo, and with it has gone that larg- CT freedom which were it's characteris- tics and it's charm. There is no longer any west. The methods and condi- tions of the west are the methods and conditions of the east, plus western energy. Indeed, to be entirely just, it may be questioned whether western push is not an importation, for cer- tainly it did not flourish in the ante railroad days.
