A Toledo, Ohio, man is working
on a scheme TO send cold brine in
summer through the pipes which
through the winter uses steam o.
hot water to heat the buildings. He
hopes to perfect a system which
shall be of sufficient practical utility
to do away with ice refrigerators
and which will enable people to
cool their houses in summer as cas-
lily as they now heat them in
winter. A Bloomsbury man abont
three years ago racked his brain on
the same scheme, but he got stuck
and gave it up in disgust.

ARE HERE
Steamer Statendam Brings Refugees
From Russia.
VANGUARD OF VAST ARMY.
II Is Estimated by Experts That Be
fore the Influx stops Millions of
Prosecuted Hebrews VIII
Have Come to America.

New York, May 20. The first Of the
army Of $4,000 Jews driven out Of
Russia by the hideous prosecutions at
the hands Of the Russians, official and
unofficial, have reached this country
on the steamship Statendam.
OF the vanguard Of this army which
has reached here the greater part are
educated and fairly well to do-that is,
they have a little money and the abil-
ity to earn their own living.
The Russians now arriving are but
the beginning of a tide OF immigration
which, in the opinion OF those who are
generally well informed, will surpass
in numbers any How Of people to this
country before.
BY the time this tide has reached Its
food it is estimated by experts that
millions Of the prosecuted Jews. viii
have come here.
Although the authorities at Ellis is
land have been preparing the last few
days for this influx of the Jews from
Russia they were hardly ready for the
great numbers which reached the I'M
migrant station
Great Crowds Mt ellis Island.
Ellis island was crowded with the
refugees and their belongings There
was, however. no hitch IN the routine
of the formallties to their obtaining
entrance to this country and practi-
cally none Of them will be detained.
AT the barge office there were crowds
Of relatives and friends waiting for
the newcomers TO welcome them to
this country
The greater part of these immigrants
will settle IN this city. They viii live
with relatives and friends, chiefly OH
the lower east side, until they are able
to make homes Of their own.
They were put to great hardships to
reach port from which they might
sail to this country. They were forced
to make long and uncomfortable jour
neys overland and were in constant
danger 10 bring with them their
goods and property and money was
difficult.

1t is the desire of the officials to have

1t has just been disclosed that an at
tempt to poison Curtis Jet was made
at the jail in Winchester, Ky, last
Sunday. A stranger appeared at the
Jail and asked to see Jett. He was adj
mitted by Jailer Boone, who remained
with him.
Jett did not recognize the man, who,
nevertheless, talked to him familiarly.
After awhile the stranger drew from
his pocket bottle Of whisky and
offered it to Jett, but Jailer Boone took
the bottle from the latter's hand as he
was about to drink. Jett protested,
saying he wanted the whisky, but
Boone refused to let him have 1t.
The jailer started to walk away with
the bottle, when the stranger became
nervous and asked for it. The jailer
refused, and the stranger soon left,
showing signs Of uneasiness. It has
been found that the whisky contained
poison, and it will be sent to the state
college for analysis,

BIG FIRE
TN MANILA
Two Thousand Native Houses In
Iondo District Burned.
EIGHT THOUSAND HOMELESS
Damage Estimated Mt Two Million
Pesos-Dorr and O'Brien Declared
by Supreme Court TO BE Not
Guilty OF sedition.

Manila, May 21.-Two thousand ma
tive houses have been destroyed by
fire in the Tondo district of Manila.
About 5000 persons are homeless and
are being fed and sheltered by the
municipality The damage is estimat-
ed at 100000 pesos.
I The supreme court has decided that
Dorr and O'Brlen, respectively the pro-
prletor and editor OF Freedom, are not
guilty of sedition.
AIessrs. Dorr and O'Brien were ar
rested in April, 1902, on the charge of
sedition in publishing an article from
an American periodical, to which the
editor of Freedom agreed and added
remarks of his own, .eensuring the
United States commissions rule and
saying that when Il started in July,
1901, every paper in Manila upheld it,
but that since then they had all drop
ped by the wayside, as they would not
support arbitrary government "espe-
cially when evidences Of earpetbagging
and rumors of graft were too thick
to be pleasant"
The main charges made were that in
many cases the Filipino officeholders
were rascals and that the commission
had exalted to the highest positions
Filipinos who were VIGOROUSLY cor
rupt.
The conviction of Messrs. Dorr and
0'Brien on the charge of libeling BENZ
to Legardo, native member Of the
Philippine commission, was confirmed
by the supreme court.
The cable ship Colonia has arrived
here. She will leave Manila for Guam
shortly.
The government has passed an act
requiring receivers Of public funds to
deposit them promptly and providing
for monthly examination Of the ac-
counts Of disbursers. The object is to
stop frauds and defalcations. Eight
cases Of serious dishonesty on the part
Of American officials We're discovered
during the past year. Some Of the
hdefalcations were heavy, but the bonds
of the defaulters covered all the losses.
