GIRL WHO RUNS AN ELEVATOR.
Miss Margaret DonneIIy, the Pioneer
in New Field,

in New Field.
New York, April 12.-Margaret DON
nelly, who has the unique distinction
of being the only girl who runs an
elevator in New York, if not in the
world, told reporter how she did it.
You just pull the rope, that's all,
she explained, with smile, 'then
up you go. OF course, it's simple
matter to come down.
Margaret is assisted in her duties
at the Margaret Fahnestock training
school for nurses by Kittie O'Connor
who is also becoming quite an expert
in running the car. Margaret's story
is as follows:
Perhaps | am a real new woman,
but | never realized it before today
l thought there were lots Of girls who
ran elevators, but it seems that
am almost alone in my profession. 1
have been running the elevator here
for five months. OF course, had to
learn how to do it. At first l was
timid. but | soon get used to it all.
Sometimes l frighten the people who
come here to visit. They stand in
the elevator and look for the boy. OF
course they think am one of the
nurses. but when slam the door and
pull the rope they get pale and look
half frightened cut of their wits. But
l would not hurt anybody for the
world.
1T seems to come natural to me to
run an elevator, and I wonder that
more girls don't take it up as profess
sion. The passengers would not have
SO much to fear then, for women are
more careful than-men or bows

TOO NEAR THE POWDER
WARsHIP's ELECTRIC MOTOR IN.
SIDE MAGAZINE.
The illinois Liable to Be Blown Up
at Any Moment-Fear Of
the Officers.

Washington, April 12.-Oficers of
the battleship Illinois are in a great
state of excitement over the fact that
their ship is in actual danger. 1t has
been discovered that the electric
motors for hosting ammunition are
located inside the magazines instead
of on the outside, as they should be.
The result is that every sparkling of
these motors leads to much apprehen-
sion regarding the safety of the mag
azines, which are full of smokeless
powder, of a highly infammable char
acter 1t is feared that an explosion
may occur if the position of the motors
is not changed.
An expert has visited the Illinois.
but the changes he suggested have not
been satisfactory to- the officers of
the vessel. The electrical experts in
New York, who were called in, have
urged that an alteration be made with
out delay. These changes have not
been approved by the navy depart
ment, for the reason that the ship
is destined for the European station.
to take part in the coronation fes-
tivities, and the changes which are
urged as necessary would delay it at
New York too long to serve in that
capacity.
Even if the changes are not made
on the Illinois at once, the mistake
will not be repeated on board the new
vessels.

should finally succeed in writing the
Cuban compromise schedule it would
be able to make record showing for
the present session in regaining it's
yigor as legislative body. It used
to be said that the senate made all
the tariff bills, in spite Of the obvious
intent of the constitution concerning
revenue legislation. It has been par
ticularly noted that all the sugar
schedules for many years have been
written in the senate. But this win
ter the house, perhaps because Of con-
slant illusions throughout the coun-
try to its decadence, has been stand
ing up pretty vigorously for its share
in the work of legislation. The war
revenue reduction bill has become a
law in the shape that the house pass
ed it, aside from details of phrase
ology. Even the bucket-shop tax
which the senate committee desired
to retain, separating such places from
the legitimate brokers, had to be
abandoned. But the greater victory
of the house was in the general prin-
ciples of the bill itself. When it was
first reported from the committee of
the house nobody took it seriously;
the press of the country regarded it as
device for side-tracking Cuban re-
lief, and promptly declared that the
senate would make the bill all over
new. The victory on the Cuban bill
will be still more notable. +, ..
While for several years the. senate
has seemed to give legislation it's final
form, the house merely rough-hewing
the timber, a condition has now arriv-
ed, or, at least, is notable in the pres
ent session, where each important
measure runs the gauntlet of careful
scrutiny in one house alone, and some
times it is the upper and sometimes
the lower.
There is real legislative battle now
in only one house. The shipping sub
sidy battle will really be fought, if
fought at all, in the house of repre-
sentatives. The canal battle will be
fought in the senate. The Cuban bat
tie, events will probably prove, has
been fought out in the house. The
statehood battle will come, it is quite
likely, in getting consideration in the
senate. The house. if Speaker Hen
derson adheres to his present purpose
of allowing the statehood bills to come
up, will pass them, but with the rather
distinct understanding that the SEN
ate will not do so.
Irrigation was allowed to go through
the senate without dissenting voice,
with the understanding upon the part
of those who would have been it's op-
ponents, that the house would thresh
over the subject, as it has done. It
has, therefore, come to pass that the
passage of bill by one house or the
other means little unless it is known
that the other house is likely to do
the same thing.

ISLAND DISAPPEARS.
River Landmark Sinks Be
low the Surface.

La Crosse, Wis, April 12.-Four-
Mile Island, piece of land in the Mis-,
sissippi river, some miles below here,
and for years a pleasure point for
picknickers has entirely disappeared.
The island was also one of the best
konwn landmarks on the Mississippi
among steamboat navigators. The
disappearance of the land is due to a
change in the current of the river,
which has worn the island away grad
ually. 1t has taken several years to
do the work, and even this winter
there was a small portion left. The
ice moving out this spring took the
last vestige of it.

young men, just for fun, called on Curt
Marshall. a rather gullibIe young fellow.
a few days ago, and wanted to buy his
claim in the new country. Curt declared
that he did not want to sell and refused
to listen to the ceaseless pleadings Of
the gang, who pretended to pay him
almost any price he might ask.
Finally one OF the gang cried aloud:
Wen take it anyhow" and at this
Curt hurried TO the barn. hitched up a
team and started at breakneck speed
10 catch the Rock Island train at Cad
well, presumably to go TO the new coun-
try to hold his farm. One of his horses
played out before he reached Caldwell,
and Curt unhitched the team and rode
the other horse the rest of the distance.
The animal that was run down was left
standing in the road with the buggy and
neither the horse nor buggy has since
been seen or heard from.
Arriving at Caldwell, Curt turned the
other animal loose and boarded the Rock
Island train He thought the supposed
claim jumpers were hot in his pursuit
and at the cry of Medford: Change
cars for all points west" he jumped from
the moving train and broke his leg. Rail
road men picked him up and conveyed
him TO the nearest railroad physician.
They prevailed on him to sign a paper
relieving the company Of all responsible
ity and admitting it to be his own fault
and the physician charged him s92 for his
services in healing the leg.
