MANlLA'S FIRE FIGHTERS.

Excellent Department Under Famous
New York Chief.
Hugh Bonner, once New York's most
famous fire chief, has done wonders
with the Manila department, and has an
effective and very strong fire-fighting
corps In that city. Chief Bonner was
appointed to the important position
nearly year ago, and in that time; has
worked wonders with the material he
had on hand as a foundation.
Hugh Bonner has been in the fire de-
partment since 1853, and when but lad
he ran with the Lady Washington en-
CINE company, No. 40, in New York. In
1861 he was made foreman in the
company and served with it until 1865,
when the paid department was organ
lied and Bonner was at once appointed
foreman and attached to engine COM
pany No. 20. While acting in this ca
pacity he operated the first self-propel-
ling fire engine and chemical engine
ever used in the department.
In May, 1873, he was made chief of
the battalion and assigned to the second
district, in which were located many of

They Did Not Dive

When it was noised around the little
town on the cape that the schooner
sunk offshore was to be visited by
divers with view to raising her, PEG
pie got into their boats and rowed on,
to see the unusual sight. Among 9th
ers, says the New York Evening Post
were an old farmer and his wife
whose home was farther inland.
A diver in his suit is a curious look
ing object out of water, a cross be
tween a knight in medieval armor and
torpedo destroyer, and he is put
overheard in the same manner as 8
ships anchor. The farmer, however
had his own idea of how diver should
look, and seeing no figure that fitted
his fancy, he hailed the man in charge
of the work.
Say" he asked, where's you,
divers?''
''Why, you've just seen two Of them
80 down. was the reply.
The farmer turned his boats prov
toward the shore. Mandy" he said
to his wife, she's fooling US. Them
amt divers, they're sinkers." ,.

Eggs Are Sensitive.

IAN egg in the process of hatching,"
says an expert, is remarkably sensitive
to vibration. Half the failures that am
ateurs encounter in Matching out chicks
by the incubator method are due to lack
of precaution in providing against the
effect of vibration on the eggs. The
rumble Of a train or the passage of
a wagon along the street will spoil a
whole incubator full of eggs if the
faintest vibratory wave reaches the ap.
paratus. Even such little thing as
the banging of a door in some other part
of the house will destroy the chances
Of Matching out brood where care has
not been taken to place the incubator be.
yond the reach of such disturbances. A
thunderstorm always gives breeders a
scare, as thousands of eggs may be
spoiled by sudden heavy thunder clap.
To sneeze or cough in the vicinity of
the incubators will sometimes work q

Greene COuntY's Sensatior

Catsk1ll, N. Y, Nov. 1O.-Ulster and
Greene Counties are ringing with the
news OF the wonderful recovery of
George F. Ayers, who lives at Is Divis-
ION street, in this city. One year ago
Mr.. Ayers was suffering from Bright's
disease OF the Kidneys and the doctors
gave him little relief and less hope. To-
Gay Mr. Ayers is as we'll as man could
wish. He tells the following story:
About year ago l was at West
camp sick with Bright's Disease and
without hope of ever being better.
When an old gentleman from Bath, N.
L. L., advised me to take Dodd's Kid ney
rus telling me they had cured him
of the same disease.
1 mad tried so many remedies that I
was past hoping and told him so. but
Wnen he bought me a box of Dodus
Kidney Pills and coaxed me to try

Ihat was the means of saving nv
lire. l took that box and half a dozen
more. Thanks to that old man and

Chased bY 4 Whale. .

Chased by q huge whale, with nothing
butya pair Of oars with which to defend
himself, is the story told by fisherman,
Fred Campbell of Mainadieu, Cape Bre-
ton. Mr.. Campbell went out in a small
boat. He was not very far from land
when he noticed huge sea monster ap-
preaching him: Not wishing to encoun-
ter it, Mr.. Campbell bent himself to
the oars and tried to get in shore before
the monster reac hed him. The whale
gained on him, and he soon recognized
that his efforts to reach the shore ahead
Of his pursuer were futile. His means Of
defense were not Of much account, but
he made good use Of what was at hand.
The monster opened his jaws wide and
tried to swallow the boat, man and all.
Mr.. Campbell reached over with an
oar and for a few minutes succeeded in
keeping the whale away. When it
looked as though Campbell was doomed,
a small boat hove in sight, and it's oc-
cupants, noticing the mans perilous DO
sition, fastened to his aid. The whale
then disappeared. a contemporary sug-
gests that it was probably descendant
Of JOnah's.

the men who shall be nominated by
the senatorial convention of the
TwentY-sixth district, regardless Of
whether or not he preferred them to
other men as nominees. The writer
never has and never will vote for an
unworthy republican for county
Office as against q worthy democrat:
but, with q United States senator to
be elected, and with no one so far sug-
gested for the Republican legislative
nomination who is not entirely wor-
thy, every Repub blican vote should be
cast for the nominees, regardless Of
personal preferences.
