A GRAND SUCCESS.

The Continental Fire Extinguisher
Co. gave an exhibition on the corner of
Third and Scott streets, Saturday even
ing at 900 O'Clock, which was a grand
success, and it was evident that it gave
universal satisfaction, for it was fol-
lowed by loud applause from the hum
dreds of people who witnessed the
exhibition
A box l2 feet high by feet wide and
2 feet deep. was saturated on the inside
with coal oil, tar and grease. A lot of
kindling wss placed on the cotton
which was also saturated This was
ignited and allowed TO get a good start
when it was easily extinguished with
one tube of powder 1t was set off three
times and once it was extinguished with
one-half tube of powder
The Extinguisher is a tin tube %
inches long. and 2 inches in diameter,
painted red, ornamented with photo
graph of Washington and is called 'The
Chief" 1t contains three pounds of
dry chemicals. By grasping the tube
and throwing the powder with force
into the base of the fire, fire extinguish-
ing gases are rapidly generated, which
presses out the air or oxygen thus in-
stantly extinguishing the blaze. BY
complete exclusion of air no blaze can
exist. 1t does not deteriorate, explode,

thrown into the face without any in
furious effects. 1t will not harm tapes
tries or fabrics OF any kind 1t is
guaranteed to extinguish any COM
bustibles, viz: Gasoline, benzine, paints,
oils, greese, spirits, varnishes, gases
and even calcic carbide. Should cloth
ing saturated with any of the above
named combustibles be ignited it could
be readily extinguished. IT is all ready
for instant use there being absolutely
nothing to get out of order. A child
can handle it as well as a grown per-
son. 1t is said to contain many times
the power of liquid chemicals or water.
When it comes into general use it will
be the means of saving thousands Of
dollars worth of property,9 as has
already been demonstrated. After in
vestigating we are satisfied that it is
one of the most efficient means of ex-
tinguishing fires in the incipient state
now in use. 1t should be used in all
manufacturing and public institutions,
and also private dwellings.

EXTRA SESSION LIKELY.
President May Call the Senate to Meet
in November.

There is a strong probability that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will call the Senate in eX-
traordinary session early in November.
Ever since it became evident that nothing
would be done to give reciprocity to Cuba
at the recent session of Congress rumors
of more or less definite nature have
been in circulation that the President
would call an extra session either of the
entire Congress to enact Cuban reel
procity legislation or of the Senate to rat
ify, if possible, a reciprocal treaty with
Cuba. During the last week it has been
stated in Washington that it was the in
tention of President Roosevelt TO call a
special session of the Senate early in Sep
TENDER. A correspondent says, however,
that it can be stated with authority that
he has no such intention. His time and
that of many members of both political
parties will be occupied during September
and October. 1t is understood to be the
belief of the President that a session Of
the Senate to ratify a reciprocity treaty
would be much more likely to be fruitful
of results if held after the November cleo
lions than if held before.
A treaty with Cuba practically has been
prepared. 1t requires only the finishing
touches and the signatures of Minister
Quesada and Secretary of State Hay to
make it ready for presentation to the
Senate.
No date, it is understood, has been fixed
for the session in November, but that it
will be soon after the election is reason
ably certain. The President, it is said,
hopes to have the reciprocity question
cleared away entirely before the regular
session of Congress.

PYTHlAN KNIGHTS MEET.
Supreme Lodge Holds Biennial Con.
Yenfion at San Erancisco.

| Supreme Lodge Holds Biennial Con.
vention at San Francisco.
The biennial convention of the knights
of Pythias was opened Tuesday in the
Palace Hotel, San Francisco. Nearly
| $50 supreme representatives were seated
when Supreme Chancellor Ogden H
Fethers raped for order.
Supreme Representative Walker c.
Graves of California, in behalf of Chair
man Charles l.. Patton of the executive
committee, welcomed the assembled
knights. Gov. Henry I. Gage sent bis
regrets at not being able TO attend in per-
son to receive the visitors to California
and sent message of welcome, which
was read by Myron Wolfe. Supreme
hancellor Fethers responded in a humor-
Gus speech to the welcome of the Gov
ernor.
The visitors who had witnessed the
opening scene then withdrew and the
supreme lodge went into secret session,
the first business being the comforting of
the degree on twenty delegates. The af-
ternoOn session was devoted to hearing
reports.
Supreme Chancellor Fethers in his an
nual report said:
"On Dec. 81, 1901, thu order had 54O,-
1873 affiliated members. To these should
be added at least 100000 who have been
suspended for nOn-payment of dues or
have taken withdrawal cards making a
total of more than 100000. During
1901 the figures We're: Initiated, 5,2O2;
reinstated, { 1873; admitted by card 1917;
total, 7O,616. During the same year 1915
died, 26S were expelled, S,37S withdrew
by card and 30, S57 were suspended. The
net gain for the year was 23,194.'
The report of r. V. L. White, supreme
keeper of records and seal, showed that
the total number of subordinate lodges on
Dec. 81, 1901, was 1902, the net gain
during the year being 142 lodges. The
net gain in 1900 and 1901 combined was
262 lodges and 1852 members.
The report of Maj. Gen. James r. Car
nahan, commander of the uniform rank,
set forth that there are S0S companies in
good standing. organized into ninety-nine
regiments and twenty-four brigades.
There are in addition twenty-five separate
companies, and warrants have been is
sued for twenty-three more.
Elks from every State in the Union
gathered in the great tabernacle of the
Mormon Church at Salt Lake City to at
tend the formal opening of the annual
reunion of the grand lodge of Elks. More
than 5000 persons, a large proportion
of them clad in the white and purple uni
form of the order, were present. G. w.
Powers of Salt Lake as master of cCre-
monies called the meeting to order and
introduced Gov. Wells of Utah, who de-
liyered the speech Of welcome.

M'MlLLAN'S LIFE ENDS.
Michigan Senator Passes Away Sud-
denly at His Summer Home.

Senator James H. Mcmillan of Michi-
gan died suddenly at his summer cottage,
at Manchester-by-theS Mass, at
o'clock Sunday morning. His death,
which was due to congestion Of the lungs
and heart failure, came after few hours
illness.
Senator Mcmillan was an. ardent golfer
and he spent Saturday on the grounds Of
the Essex Country Club in the sport,
although he was not entered in the tour
nament. While ascending a steep hill he
felt faint and was sent to the club house
and given a stimulant. He recovered, re-
turned home and ate a hearty dinner With
his family, seeming in the best Of spirits.
At midnight he was aroused from sleep
by difficult breathing and a physician was
summoned. He found Mr.. Mcmillan suf-
fering from heart trouble and one Of his
lungs was congested. Under powerful
stimulant he revived and soon was asleep
again. A second attack more violent fol-
lowed and the doctor found the other
lung congested. RestOratives failed to
give relief and the Senator died at 4
o'clock.
At the bedside when the end came were
the Senator's wife and daughter, and his
granddaughter, Miss Jarvis.
James Mcmillan was born at Hamilton
Ont, May II, 1888 and was a resilient
of Detroit from 1855. Early in the COM
mercial success Of that city he became
identified with it's manufacturing inter
ests and became in a few years one Of
the big men of that city and of the State
and the railroad, lake marine, banking,
manufacturing and general commercial
world. The foundation of his fortune
was laid in the lumber field. Early in
life he became interested and active in
politics as Republican. In 1884 he was
presidential elector. From 1885 to 1896
he served as chairman of the Michigan
Republican State committee. In 1889
he was elected to the United States Sen
ate, and in 1895 and again in 1901 he was
reelected. His present term expired in
1907. In Washington Senator Mcmillan
lived in a palatial home at lila Vermont
avenue. In the Senate he had great in
fuence, especially in committees where
legislation was framed, and in the inner
circle of Senators who do the real work
of that body. He practically ruled the
District of Columbia and the capital city
as chairman of the committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia,

Princeton University has voted to give
former President Patton 81, 900 year to
continue in the chair Of ethics. Addi-

amount Of $4,000 to be used to increase
the salary to $4,000 for a period of five
years. This will be the same as he drew
as president.
