THEY PULLED HAIR
North End NeIghbors Engage in Phys
lcal Combat.

IcaI Combat.
II was the old story OF two women liv-
Ing in the same building which caused
Mrs. Taylor's hair TO be pulled and her
pompadour comb broken yesterday at 42S
North main street There was confusion
of names and trades n the scrap that
puzzled a policeman, a deputy sheriff and
a reporter for the Eagle. For instance.
Mrs. Taylor IS not only the wife Of 8
barber. but is really 4 barber herself,
while Mrs. Baker is the wife OF q baker
and is also haker herself She is one
Of the best pie makers in the North End
and her wO-lz is popular among the up
per crust But Mrs. TAYLOR was 10 pie
for her according TO that lady herself
who admits with her own lips that she
put up good defense. the assault being
carried or upon the very threshold of her
own castle.
Mrs. Taylor told her story to a reporter
and It was full Of details. She blamed
Mrs. Baker for talking ugly to her With
OUT cause and seemed to be very n.uch
grieved. She said Mrs Baker pulled her
hair and showed the reporter the head
comb which had heen used TO keep her
hair neatly dressed. Il was broken in
two pieces. The story Of the quarrel IS
about the same as eli womans Quarrels.

then resented the accusations by phylical
demonstrations Some OF the plaster SUI
fered in the scufTle and other indica-
tons about the door proved that the
ladies were not at all in a pleasant mood
Each woman claims that the other was
the primary offender and neither police
man ror deputy sheriff had a mind suf-
ficieutly balanced judiciauy to decide
which one was right and which one was
wrong The case viii probably be
brought before some better judicial au
thority for FINAL decision.
Both women are very well liked in the
neigh5orhood and these living up there
are sorry for the occurrence.

Court AGAIN.

TWO motions were fled in the district
court yesterday asking for TIE appoint
ment OF q receiver for the Modern Ton
ties. The motions were fled BY Ami
con & Comfy for z. B. Garoelon and NJ
". Cave. They allege as q reason for
appointing receiver for the order. %
that the order is insolvent, q that II
is unable To pay its debts, and g. that
il is IN imminent danger OF becoming
insoivent, "a that IL has forfeited its
corporate rights, ~ that lis officers have
Tnismanaged it, and 90 that there are a
number OF suits in the city and district
courts and that their funds have been
garnisheed and someone should o ap-
pointed 10 take charge of the same.
A motion was also fled by the two
plaintiffs asking the court TO order the
Fourth National bank, which IS the de-
pository OF the order an which was gar
nisheed BY the plaintiffs, 70 turn over

for placing the money in the clerk :
hands that the cash is tied up Il sew
ersl different suits and that IL would
be for the best interests OF ali concerned
to take the money out OF the bank
F. B. Gsrcelon sued the Modern Ton
ties on a note for SIS. which has been
protested for non-paymeut. He puT-
chased the note from NJ. y. Cave soon
after that gentleman is alleged 70 have

Were Brought to County Clerks Of
fee Yesterday.

Fred LInnebur yesterday walked into
the county clerks Office and laid a bun
die on the counter and said: 7 have
two coyote scalps that I captured a
week OF 50 ago and I want the bounty
for them"
The scaIps were good ones, and look
more as Il they had been taken from
the head Of q. grey wolf instead of from
little coyotes. Mr.. Linnebur said they
were taken from very large ones. He
lives at Garden Plain. but he captured
the animals IN Illinois township. Hs
said he was out hunting one day and
found the holes and then went home
and got his shovels and dug them out.
These are the first scaIps brought into
the county clerks Office in many months
as the animals seem 70 be rather scarce
in this section OF the state.

Chinese AIbumen Factory.

Near Ching Kiang, China, is great
albumen factory for the utilization of
the duck eggs which are prouuced in
that locality in enormous quantities,
1000 and 5000 ducks being by no means
uncommon. The eggs are broken at
the rate of 10000 to 10000 per day by
women, who separate the white from
the yolk, the former being carefully
cleaned and dried until they resemble
fish glue, when they are packed in 400
pound cases lined with zinc. The
yollis are passed through sieves into
25-gallon receptacles, mixed with q
salt and boraX solution, packed in
500 pound barrels and used in Europe
for preparing and dressing articles of
superior quality. The albumen finds
a ready market in England, France and
Germany for dyes for the best cotton
goods. Press.

for your lives!" He was alone, and
the skin on his hands, face and neck
were blistered.
Brown knew why every one was run
ming. There would be another explo-
sion. 1t was tolerably certain that he
must die if he stayed. But his four
chums were in the fire, and needed the
water. If he quit his engine the water
would fail.
He stocked in coal and ran the gauge
up another notch, easing the running
parts with the oiler. He was offering
his life for his friends.
In few minutes the four firemen
came out of the building. Then Bill
Brown ran for his life with his COM
rades. A second or two later engine
30 was crushed by the falling walls.

IN THE JAWS OF THE FIRE.

play Train.

The risks that fremen take are an
everlasting wonder, even though al
most every paper contains stories of
their bravery. But the man behind the
fire engine-apparently he has only
to keep his machine going, and is as
safe as the man who pulls the lever
of an upright donkey" The story of
Bill Brown, as told by Mr.. Cleveland
Moffett in" Careers of Daring and
Danger" shows that the engineers
bravery is sometimes put to tests as
severe as those which the hoseman or
ladderman ever has to endure.
What happened was this: Engine 90,
pumping her prettiest, stood at the
corner so near the drug house that
the driver thought it wasn't safe for
the horses, and led them away. That
left Brown alone, against the cheek
of the fire, watching his boiler and
keeping his steam gauge at rs.
As the fire gained, chinks of red-hot
sandstone began to smash down on the
engine Brown ran his pressure uT
to so, and watched the door anXiously
where the four firemen from his squad
had gone into the furnace.
Then an explosion of chemicals in
the building sent a flame wide as {
house curling across the street, en-
wrapping engine and man, and setting
fire to the elevated railway station
overhead. Bill Brown stood by hi:

THE EDISON MUToSCoPE.
United States Circuit Court Decides
the Patents on the Invention Are
Invalid.

United States Circuit Court Decides
the Patents on the Invention Are
Invalid.
A decision has been handed down
by the United States court of appeals
which decides that the camera of a
defendant mutoscope company is not
an infringement upon that invented
by Thomas A. Edison. The court
holds that Edison did not invent any
new process of the photographing of
moving objects, but rather improved
npon various previous inventions and
ideas, some of which dated back as
far as 1864.
Edison had brought an action
against the mutoscope company,
claiming that the latter's camera in
fringed his patent of 1897. The
United States circuit court upheld
the validity of Edison's patents, but
the court of appeals finds otherwise
and dismisses the bill, with costs, and
holds that the cause of action is not
sufficient.
The court cites the fact that Du Cos
in 1864, Marcy in 1882, and Leprince
In 1883 had either patented or pub
lished in scientific Journals descrip-
tion of processes of photographing
moving objects. 1t says that by this
decision the Edison company will lose
| many thousands of dollars it now re-
ceives in royalties.

breaches IN HIS SLEEP.
An IIIiterate Negro I'm South Carolina
Carries on n Complete Church Ser
vice While I'm an Unconscious Com

Maj. Perry, the sleeping preach
er" of Saluda county, S. c., is at
tracing a great deal of attention.
He lives dozen miles from a rail-
road and never leaves the immediate
vicinity of his home, so he is known
to few outside that county.
Maj. Perry is n mulatto, 45 years
old. Both he and his wife are litter
ate. When n young man, he says, he
felt n call to preach, but disregarded
1t. He seldom goes to church and is
not religiously inclined.
About ten years ago, his wife says,
Perry began to preach in his sleep.
Sermons became more frequent, un-
til he now breaches five or six times
week. Perry goes to bed about s
O'Clock and within half an hour be-
gins to preach. He first announces
his text, chapter, verse or verses in
the Bible correctly, after which he
reads the text, always just as il is
in the book. lie then lines out,
sings hymn and prays, after which
the sermon begins. Perry's sermon
is declared by whites who have heard
him to be better than the average
negro preacher. 1t is grammatical
and logical and takes from IS min
utes to one hour in delivery.
Sometimes during the delivery of
the sermon the muscles of the body,
especially the arms and neck, con
tract, producing cataleptic condi-
tion. This stops the sermon. The
attack lasts minute or two and is
driven away by the wife, who strokes
with her hands the parts affected.
When the tendency to- catalepsy is
banished he resumes his discourse,
beginning exactly where he left off.

IMPURE BAKING POWDER
SEIZED.
The New York hoard OF Health Find
II Contains Alum and Rock,
Declare 1t Dangerous to
Health and Dump II In-
to the River.

The New York papers report that
the Health Department Of that city
has seized as dangerous to health
nearly two tons of cheap mixtures sold
for baking powder, and dumped them
into the offal scow to be destroyed.
More of the powder was found in a
Sixth ave. department store. The
report of the analysis of the Health
Department stated that IL was IAN
alum baking powder" containing alum
and pulverized rock.
The different Health Authorities
=, seem to have different ways ofrepress-
ing the sale of bad baking powders.
In England they have prosecuted the
grocers under the general law and
broken up the traffic. In Missouri the
sale of alum baking powder is actually
prohibited by law. In New York they
seize the unwholesome stuff and cast
1t into the river, without any discus
sion. The latter way is certainly eff
fective.
The alum baking powders are usual
ly offered at a low price, ten to twenty
cents q pound. or with some prize, as
temptation to the housewife.
Consumers can protect themselves
by buying only high-grade baking pow
der of established name and reputa-
; tion. Do not be tempted by the grocer
to take something else as lust as
good" or "our own brand" for the
trials show that the grocer himself is
often deceived by unscrupulous MAX
ers and is selling an alum powder with
out knowing it.
There are several good powders OF
the market; let the housekeeper insist
on having what she knows is right, ant
not be induced to risk the life of the
family for an imaginary saving of 6
few cents.
