vous condition caused her to awaken and
soon after O'Clock she decided to get
up and make a tour of the house.
She did not, as she entered the hallway,
detect any odor OF gas but this she
could hardly have done. for the house
is we'll built and the doors ft tightly.
Mrs Higgins had assigned Wright 10
room on the ground floor OF an ell and
straight TO that door something impelled
her to go.
When she had knocked several times
and obtained no response. she ran out
OF the house, procured a street ladder,
ascended 10 one OF the windows OF
Wright's room and looked In.
She could see that he was In bed and
that one OF the gas cocks OF the over
head fixture was turned quarter way on.
Mrs Higgins did the right thing at
the right time She forced the window.
and dragged Wright TO the hallway.
Wright had fortunately. left another
window open few inches. He had, how
ever. inhaled so much gas that he was
unconscious.
Policeman Garrity was summoned. who
sent for an ambulance. in which Wright
was taken to the Rhode Island hospital
al o'clock.
Wright had extinguished the gas and
probably while still holding on to the
fixture had swayed and thus turned the
cock open again.
He was unconscious at noon. when his
condition was reported TO be far from
assuring.
Wright has q wife and several chill
dren residing in Vermont He came here
10 work when the strike began at Car
penter's foundry and had been making 81

CUPID AND STRIKES.
Marriage Recommended as Panacea
For Labor Troubles.

For Labor Troubles.
Cupid's right bower, Mayor Knots Of
Hammond, Ind, has again championed
the cause of matrimony. Bachelors,
says the mayor, are a detriment to
community. while married men are val
liable assets. In an appeal just issued
he asked the merchants and manufac-
surers Of the city to employ married
men only. Mayor Knots declares that
single men are the chief fomenters Of
labor troubles; that they are reckless,
Nnd as a rule do a town more harm
than good.
Mayor Knots a year ago offered to
marry free all couples residing in Ham
mond and to give them moral and
other support in esta blishing their
homes.
In his letter Mayor Knots argued
that during the years of labor trouble
in Hammond it had been notorious that
the single men were the first to start
trouble and to talk strike. Married
men, he declared, are more patient and
long suffering and less likely to go out
on unjustified strikes.
The mayor states that single men do
not make as good citizens. He declares
they are reckless, inclined to Wasteful-
ness and spending; that they come into
a town when new enterprise is start
ed, and usually, after short and reck-
less career, depart for some other town,
having done the town no good and
leaving only unpaid bills and friends
around the saloons\
The mayor closes his letter with an
appeal to the manufacturers and mer-
chants to call a meeting and take steps
looking to the employment of married
men only in their factories and stores.
This, he declares, will end the labor
troubles of the town and raise the
standard of citizenship, give stability
of purpose to the town itself and do a
lasting good. Married men, he con-
cludes, become permanent citizens,
working for the good of the CON-
munity. He argues that the manufac-
turers, having received great benefits
from the town Of Hammond, should
reciprocats by employing the married
men and giving them preference at all
times

InventfOn OF South Dakota Man Said
to BE Valuable. "a
G. w. Hawkins, former resident Of
Great Falls, Mont, but who is now at
work on the Sioux Falls Is. ID divi-
sion OF the Great Northern railroad,
with headquarters at Garretson, Min
nehaha county, has been awarded a
patent on an invention which, 1t is
said, promises to make him a million
aire, says the Chicago Record-Herald.
The product of his genius is termed a
ball bearing antifrfction car wheel. Its
practicability is soon to be tested by
several eastern railroads as we'll as the
Great Northern. The car wheel does
not differ materially in appearance
from an ordinary wheel and Is SO con-
structed that it may be made indie
pendent of the journal and run on the
ball bearing attachment If occasion de-
mands.
In the event Of hot journal, often
the cause Of disastrous wrecks, by the
application Of wedge the journal may
be made to remain stationary, and the
wheel will run on the ball bearings,
which are constructed of highly hard
ened steel and are oiled automatically.
This arrangement also permits the out
side wheel to run faster in traversing
curve than the inside wheel without
slipping, thus reducing the possibility
Of friction to the minimum and doing
away with the wear, which makes 1t
imperative that the steel on sharp
curves must be replaced at frequent in
tervals to avoid derailments and result
Ing disasters to rolling stock and posi-
BILE loss of life.
It Is also claimed for the new wheel
that 1t will reduce the draft Of trains
fully Is per cent and that 1t can be
manufactured and maintained at a
small added cost over the price of the
wheels at present In use.
