Differences Of opinion regarding the mean

Western Passenger Association in the
worst row in it's history. The trouble de-
veloped quickly today, when the associa-
ton met to discuss the recommendations
recently made by the mass meeting.
1t soon became apparent that the lines
would be unable to agree upon reforms
which the mass meeting decided were nec-
essary to keep within the provisions OF
the new law. The matter OF party rates
came early In the discussion. and notice
was given by the Wabash, Wisconsin Gem
trail and Great Western that they would
throw party rates open: to the PUBLIC, ana
no longer confine them! to theatrical par
ties, base bail clubs and organizations CIV

tested that such action would give the

would permit them to, organize parties and

The Commissioners have recently received

In making sttlement for the boilers in

Manual Training School on P street. In a
letter to the building inspector on the SUBJ

its manager, complained rather bitterly Of
the treatment received.
"Your card is received" wrote Manager
Lyman, Stating that if the test run today
and tomorrow proves satisfactory you will
recommend acceptance have not found
anything In the contract whereby an
operating test with engines can delay ac-
ceptance. And we trust you will not have
us wait longer than the end of this week
for the same. We have certainly been
very patient and indulgent in this matter,
and so far have done everything in the
way Of furnishing and lettering the equip
ment that any one could ask us to do.
Therefore we do not see why we should be
further delayed on account of running
some engines which have not been stated
In our contract. When saw you ten days

we certainly cannot allow such trial to
Interfere with the acceptance"
Mr.. Ashford, the building inspector has
submitted report to the Commissioners in
regard to the matter, in which he says:
From tests made and inspections I
would say that the requirements under this
contract have been met in so far as the
heating plant and boilers are concerned,
with the exception Of the guarantee relat-
Ing to smoke consumption or prevention.
The shortcomings in this respect are partly
due to conditions beyond the control Of the
contractor as the draft furnished. due to
the height of the stack. is not up to the
provisions Of the specifications for the
building. The time OF this contract ex-
pired March IL, 1902. and test was not
made until December 20. 1902. The work
is therefore 1888 days beyond contract time.
used by the board Of education shortly
after they took possession of the building
and they have therefore been able to hold
school sessions during the past winter. 1
would respectfully recommend that the
plant be accepted and payment made as re-
quested."
This action has been approved by the
Commissioners.

Strowbridge. who was standing in front of
her blazing home. brandishing a revolver,
fired at them repeatedly. Several Of the
men made rush, hoping to close with the
mad woman and disarm her, but she held
them at bay with the revolver. While they
were hesitating she suddenly cut her throat,
filled pail of water at the well. thrust a
quantity of hay and straw into 1t, and,
placing the whole mass on her head, rushed
into the blazing house. in which her charred
body and the bodies of her daughter and
mother were found after the fire had burned
itself out.
The three women lived a hermit life,
working on the farm like men and often
wearing mems clothing. They are supposed
to have been well to do. Mrs. Strowbridge
Is believed to have gone suddenly mad. For
several days she appeared to be acting
strangely, but her method Of life was such
that none OF the neighbors ever had any
communication with her.
A suit recently brought against Mrs
Strowbridge for wages may have aggra-
waited her trouble.
Several days ago the husband Of Mrs.
Strowbridge Is said to have been driven
from the farm. after he had made over all
his property to his daughter. He never
dareu or cared to return to his home, and Is
now living with a brother in Potter.

Only three European powers were con-

Prof. Bailey Said to Have Robbed Elec

A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Ann Arbor. Mich. says: Prof. Benja-
min F. Bailey, in demonstration before his
class. let q half-million-volt alternating cur
rent of electricity pass through his body.
The current that kills at Sing Sing prison is
1900 volts Prof. Bailey has robbed cleo
tricity Of Its deadly effects by creating a
current which alternates at the rate of
435. coo times second.
His startling experiments were performed
with current from the laboratory genera
tors of about $4,000 alterations second.
This current was run through two step
up" generators which increased the rate
Of alienation.
Two students were called from the class
to the front Of the room. An ordinary cleo
trio light, suspended on a two-foot length
Of wire bare Of insulation. was handed to
them. Each grasped an end Of the naked
wire in his bare hand. and the pair stood
swinging the light between them like a boy
and a girl holding pail.
Their other hands were connected with
the 50O.0O0-volt current. Prof. Bailey turned
the current on and the swinging lamp sud
denly glowed. then lighted the darkened
room.
prof Bailey himself took hold of the
bare wires. which were purposeiy separated
so that no current could possibly pass ex-
cept Through his body. If one of the step
up transformers had failed to work at that
moment he would have grasped his own
death warrant. The spectators held their
breath. but both transformers were work
ing. Calmly Prof Bailey described his SEN
sations.

feeling OF warmth in my wristA Cue prob
ably to the fact that the great amount OF

Source Of Inspiration.

In the course OF his address Mr.. Moran
told Of the spirit that inspired Irishmen to
celebrate st. Patrick's day. The cruel and
rapacious policy Of England. said he, has
exiled the Celt to all parts Of the world,
but the legacy Of St Patrick, strengthened
and vivified by the blood Of Irish martyrs,
has f1ourished wherever the Celt has made
his home To the Irish race and Its de-
scendants scattered over the world the
18th of March has become a time Of re-
viva1 Of Irish tradition and history.
Tonight around the dreary campfire"
the speaker continued, "the Irish miner re-
counts the glory of st. Patrick's fame and
speaks with patriotic pride of Ireland
brave sons and devoted daughters.
THE Irish sailor tonight will pray for
his loved ones over the sea whose only
heritage is their priceless faith and love
Of country.

avengiDg Irelands wrongs under the BAN
ner Of the green flag and with patriotic
joy exclaims: On, Fontenoy, on Fonte-
noy, nor ever yet elsewhere pushed on to
fight nobler band than those proud ex
lies were"
He spoke of the coming of st. Patrick as
a slave boy to the ancient Ireland and his
inspiration to teach the faith of Christ to
the Druidal Cets. He closed by saying
that it should be the aim of Irishmen al
home and abroad to keep UP the national
spirit by patriotic assemblies until the op-
portunity to free Ireland arrives.
