The report Of the board of mediators

anxiously awaited. 1t is about two
weeks since two of the members Of the
board were here looking over the
ground. 1t will be interesting to see
what they. will recommend, and what
effect their recommendations will have
on the trolley company. The strikers
have been promising something new
for a few days. Perhaps they have
some knowledge of what the board
will say or do. The report yesterday
that the local labor unions had nearly
all forsaken the strikers is not so. as
the men received their weekly sti-
pond yesterday, and are just as deter
mined as ever, to continue the fight.

THE POWER OF A BUGLE.

Ralph D. Paine was one of the ad-
venturous buccaneers Of the Three
Friends, the famous fllibustering
craft of the Cuban war. The grim,
yet humorous story Of his adventures
are in the August Outing. Says NJ"
Paine:
Jack German, the cavalry bugler,
had refused with scorn the new Maui
ser. rife offered him. by the leader of
the expedition, but had brought along
an old Springfield He explained several
times each day that the Cuban Junta
in New York had promised to pay him
a. thousand dollars for each Spanish
officer he should shoot. German had
one hundred and fifty rounds of
Springfield ammunition in his haver-
sack and considered himself already
possessed Of a fortune Of exactly one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. 1t
was as safe as money in the banks !:
sOne hundred and fifty officers at one
thousand dollars each
'sIn the haversack was also bat
tered bugle mouth piece, treasured as
a souvenir of the fight with the Unit
ed States cavalry at Wounded Knee.
In the middle Of the skirnaish with the
gunboat German opened fire with his
Springfield from thea arrer geek, snool-
ing with the same earnestness and de-
liberation to be imagined if he hal
been bowling over his thousand dol
lars with every cartridge He became
really and unexpectedly effective when
he ceased firing, pushed the bugle
mouthpiece into the muzzle of the
Springfield. threw open the breach
block. and began to blow the calls he
knew from boots and saddles to as
sembly.' The exteInrorized bugle was
triumph. The c~ = I of it seemed to
transform the Thu lends into war
vessel. 1t was learned later from Ha
vana that the officers of the Spanish
gunboat were alarmed by this indica
ton that the vessel they had attacked
was an armed and disciplined gunboat,
with a naval equipment. The bugle
calls made the disreputable Three
Friends a formidable foe in the dark
ness. Having blown his musical roper
toire through the barrel of his rifle,
German pulled out the mouthpiece,
damned a cartridge into the other end.
and resumed his fire at the wide, wide
world. August Outing.

OLD DAYS AT BOSTON MUSEUM

Memories Revived BY the Tearing
Down of the Famous Playhouse.
The name Boston Museum" takes
you back to primitive times, when
s.theater" had a wicked sound, and
statues, casts and curiosities We're re-
lied upon to mitigate and sanctify it.
The old house closed up it's doors for
ever last month. 1t had an honorable
career and is especially associated in
the memories Of many old theater-
goers with the names of two sterling
artists, parochial in their fame, but not
in their performances--William War
rem and Mrs Vincent Salaries we're
low in its best days, but so was the
price of admission. The scenery would
have been scorned by the luxurious
moderns. Yet the company was al
ways competent. There were no long
runs" those fatal obstacles to the
progress of the actor in his art. The
"bilP' was changed frequently. In his
way, the conditions were the same as
those at some of the admirable mex
pensive theatres in the smaller German
cities. There was the most libaral
variety. Tragedy, comedy, burlesque,
melodrama succeeding one another
The Bill Sykes or Romeo Of the matt
nee might be the Othello of the even
ing. Actors and actresses worked
hard They had sense Of their office
Most Of them had grown up upon the
stage and We're stepped in its tradi-
tons.
The unwavering, enthusiastic sup
port of the public was dear to the play
ers at the museum as it was to the
companies at Burton's, at Wallack's,
at the Union Square and Days. Ev-
cry performance was meeting Of old
friends. Every old favorite in new
part was encouraged, There was no
chariness Of applause. In those SIM
pie days people went to the play to see
the play and the acting, not to exhibit
themselves in the glory OF their even
ing clothes, to watch an actor play
and his wardrobe, to bridge over tile
time between dinner and the lobster
hour. Other times, other actors, 9TH
er spectators! Perhaps it is incorrect
to speak of those times as simple"
The comic page had not been drama
tized then, The newspaper paragraph
er had not become a high priest of the
stage. Nobody had expanded soap

The statute Of limitations have now
run, and Perry s. Heath, secretary Of
the republican national committee and
former First Assistant Postmaster
General, and the Lord knows how
many more is free from danger of in
dictment on account of anything that
may have come out or will come out of
the present investigation Of postofice
department rottenness It is the gen
eral belief here, says Washington
writer, among the people who are Gin
the know" that Perry Heath was one
of the first men spotted by Bristow,
and enough crookedness found to bring
him to the bar of justice. It is also
believed that Hanna then went to see
the president and deal was made
whereby Heath's scalp was saved and
the party saved the humiliation and
degradation of seeing it's secretary of
its national committee dragged before
the bar Of justice for booding. On the
last day of July, however, the statute
of limitations allows Heath and all
others who are not now in the clutches
of the law, and who quit the depart
nent three years ago, to breathe free
~. Thus do some people go unwhip-
ped of justice and the people never will
know who they are in order to chastise
them at the ballot box should they
ever ask for Office in future. The
president has now demanded of Bris-
tow that he get through with the inves-
tigation by the first of September. In
other words, the thing must be out of
the way before congress convenes, and
any man who is not caught by that
time will go free. Until there is a
change Of administration the people
never will know how much was stolen
by the postal gang.

The news flashed from Rome this
morning that the cardinals in conclave
had elected Pope L4eo's successor was
pleasing to all the people and more
especially TO the Catholics. Cardinal
sarto, the new pontiff, is said to be
one of the brightest minds among the
cardinals, a devout Catholic and one
who never mikes in politics. He has
been a cardinal for ten years only,
thus being one OF the youngest mem
bers Of the body that has just made
him the successor of Leo XIII. The
new pope has been the bishop of Man
tua. Although mentioned in connec-
tion with the office. he was not thought
to stand as good chance as some of
the older cardinals. The new pope
has taken the name Of Plus x.

The popular impression is to the eff
feet that storage battery stores up
electricity, and tina the bottled-up
fluid is held somehow under pressure
to be released OH demand like highly
charged mineral water. The principle
of the storage battery is quite different
from this, as the entire action is chemi-
cal fundamentally. Discussing the
question q writer in the Engineering
Magazine says that the storage battery
is simple piece of apparatus, mechau-
ically. In it's most familiar form it
consists Of two lead plates supporting
active materials, high oxide of lead
for the positive plate, and metallic
lead III spongy, finely divided state
for the negative. The plates are i'm
mersed in dilute sulphuric acid and
contained in a glass jar or wooden
tank lined with lead. Two plates, one
positive and the other negative ,consti-
tute couple, and cell may be made
up of as many couples connected in
parallel as the requirements of dis
charge necessitate. That is, all the
positive plates are connected separate
" from the negative plates, which are
themselves Joined in one aggregation
independent of the positiyes A bat
terry consists of considerable number
of cells connected usually in series
that is, the positive group of couples
in each cell is Joined to the negative
group of the preceding cell, so that the
electric current passes thriugh all the

age battery simply means passing a
continuous electric current through it
from some outside source of supply, as
railway or lighting generator, and
thereby causing certain chemical ac-
tons to take place. The energy Of the

WHAT THE WOODS DID.


Bobby was the edge Of wilder
ness not 80 miles from the Hudson riv-
en- On THE other side of the wilder
ness was another railroad and more
lakes and streams. with more hotels
and cottages upon them. Bobby's chief
amM ton had been connected with col
lars and cravats. He had graduated
from law school the previous June, and
was wondering whether TO go back
home and practice IN his country town,
where practice would come easy and
never grow big, or cast his lot in the
city and build on a broad foundation.
Men told him the city venture meant
starvation, and he decided TO go to the
home town. ~
One day it occurred to Bobby to stop
resting and cross the wilderness to the
other settlement. Then Bobby heard
such stories OF that stretch of woods
as he had heard Of the city. He would
get lost and starve. But one of Bob
by's grandfathers had fought Indians
with Daniel Boone and some way the
call of the wilderness seemed to stir a.
strain of blood that had never moved
before. Any way Bobby forgot his
collar and cravat. He even donned
flannel shirt and he entered the will
derness Night found him wading i'll
a painless swamp. He climbed on a
log and spent the night. Morning
came and Bobby got out of the swamp
and started over a mountain that lay
directly in his path. That day his
grub gave out, but he caught fish, and
the instincts of grandfather returning
he managed to kill a grouse. Next
day he walked for an hour through
blackberry thicket. and when, the DAY
after, he emerged in the edge of lit
- settlement. his trousers legs were
'apping like flags in the wind. The
hotel clerk told Bobby he could not
eat in the regular dining room.
When he came out of the servants
dining room that night he went to the
postoffice for fear of shocking the SEN
sibMties of the gentlemen in the writ
ing room, and there wrote note de-
clining a place in the Office Of the old
family friend at home and said he
had decided to practice law in the big
ger field of the ropolis.-Leonidas
Hubbard, Jr, in August Outing.

WORTHLESS WORK.

The ease and 1eyity with which
great organizations of men quit work
are disheartening. But the men mean
well; individually most of them are
good fellows. Only sometimes, as in
the last month, they seem to strike
suggestion = to be poisoned by strike
bacillus. No doubt. things will mend
and common sense win. Still, the
world gets lazier every year and holt
days increase. Can't somebody invent

AFTER RARE MINERALS.
New Company Organized to Oc-
cupy a Peculiar Field.

A company which will occupy
field exclusively its own has just been
organized by DR.. r. o. Hail of Bos-
ton and r. M. Pope of Salt Lake.
1t is called the American Mining and
Rare Minerals company, and its ar
ticles of incorporation have been filed
with the secretary of state. The
capital stock consists of 10, 600 shares,
the par value of each share being
$40. Three thousand shares have
been subscribed and the remainder is
to go into the treasury to be dis
posed OF from time to time for devel-
opment purposes.
The peculiar field to be occupied
by the company is the handling Of
the rarer metals. Utah is very rich
in substances which comes without
the experience of most mining men.
Even when they no know the nature
of their rarer products, the miners
do not know how to save or dispose
of them proftably. The Rare Min
erals company will undertake to open
market for every substance OF
commercial value and will be on the
lookout for claims producing unfa-
miliar metals. Uranium and tung-
stem are two rare minerals frequently
found in Utah. The former carries
the remarkable chemical product
known as radium and the latter is
much used in the manufacture of
certain kind of steel Both will be
sought and disposed of by the new
corporation.
In addition to its peculiar line of
business the company will follow
regular mining in the Letitia group
of claims adjoining the Old Hickory
and Montreal of the Majestic com
pany in Beaver county. Sufficient
ore is now exposed to pay the cost
of development, and operations will
be commenced at once under the
direction OF Manager Pope. Atten-
ton will also be paid to a vein OF
ozokerite in Grand county. and to the
gilsonite deposits in eastern Utah
