One of the most novel features Of
the invention is the clever device
by which the platforms are extended
lengthways to the width of the house
on fire, so that exit is easy from any
window.
In addition to forming an escape
the engine is provided with pump
ing arrangement, and from the vari
Gus balconies the flremen would be
able to direct streams Of water into
the rooms far more effectually than
they would from the street level.
From the high platforms the fire
men would, where necessary, be able
with the greatest ease to enter
through the windows, dragging the
hose after them, thus quickly reach
ing the real seat Oh the fire, and
bringing all their resources to bear
upon it.

itualistic medium, Eusapia Palladino,
who has convinced DR.. Lombroso and
a number of other Italian professors
that she is the possessor Of a mysteri-
GUS psychic power. According to DIR.
Moll the Palladino humbug has become
almost an epidemic not only among
the Italian nobility, but among the
savants. These savants, headed by
Lombroso, claim that their scientific
training enables them to Judge such
phenomena as experts. DR.. Moll re-
torts that It is not a question of scien-
tifc observation, but Of legerdemain,
in which they are not experts. She
dupes them, like other victims, by
cleverly distracting their attention.

The Csusty Canvass.

The candidates for the various
county Offices are now vigorously
prosecuting their canvass and are
meeting good crowds at every pre-
cinct. In most sections Of the
county the people are we'll up with
their farm work and turn out and
give patient attention to the
speeches which present the claims
of some candidate who feels that
he is the man above all others who
should be elected. No issues have
been presented that draw any great
contrast between the candidates
and withal it is simply a matter of
personal preference as to who
shall receive the support of the
voters.
A feature of the canvass that is
most pleasing to the candidates is
the generous hospitality extended
them by the people at every ap.
pointment. Sumptuous dinners
have been spread at every place
and judging by the quality and
quantity of edibles gathered to-
gether and prepared by the good
women, who also grace the &C.
casions with their presence, one
would judge that Lee county was
in no danger of a famine in the
near future. These dinners have
been remarkable for the scope of
their bills of fare, furnishing a
variety that would meet the re-
quirments Of the most fastidious
epicure. For this manifestation
of hospitality the candidates are
duly grateful and at each appoint
ment have publicly returned their
thanks.

Lowndes Is For Kincannon.

Since the withdrawal Of Hon.
John Z. Senter from the race for
Railroad Commissioner Columbus
and Lowndes, his home town and
county are now endorsing and sup
porting the candidacy Of Hon.
Clayton Kincannon for hat Office,
properly recognizing that he is
the one man in the race best quail
fed for the position. Editor p.
w. Maer, Of the Columbus Dis
patch, than whom no man is in
closer touch with the voters Of
that section nor more fully pre-
pared to give voice to the pub
lie sentiment, writes in an edito-
rial in this weeks issue of his
excellent paper as follows:
"The retirement of Hon. j. L.
Senter from the Railroad Com
missioner's race leaves the people
of Lowndes county free to exer-
else their choice for this impor-
tant position. As we all know it
is one of the most important
Offices in the State. 1t has to deal
with the penitentiary management
and railroad control and these
are interests so vast as to demand
men of incorruptible integrity and
proven ability to handle them
Of the present candidates before
the people the Dispatch believes
that Hon. j. G. Kincannon is
logically the candidate for the
people of this county. He it was
who made the Parchman fight and
drove that official from position
after he had preyed upon the
earnings of the convicts; he il
was who recognized the justice OF
the claim of our people for cheap
err freight rates and voted and
worked for them. In view Of his
record and the farther fact that
he has served only II term and
under the good old democratic
rule is entitled to his endorse.

The Alderman Plaindealer says
The poorest girls and boys are
those got taught to work. Many
rich parents think their children
are too good to work, and thereby
raise them up IN idleness, lot
teaching them the true worth of
life and living. To be brought
up this way is the most forlorn
condition to fall into. 1t is the
duty Of the parents to protect
their children from this deplora-
BILE condition. They do them a
great injustice if they neglect
this. Girls as we'll as boys should
be taught. to earn their own liv-
ing. The rich as we'll as the poor
require this training. The wheel
Of fortune rolls swiftly round |;
the poor may become rich and the
rich become poor. Skill added to
labor is no disadvantage to the
rich and is indispensable to the
poor. Well-to-do parents must
educate their children to work !;
no reform is more important than
this.

darkness of night, and then reach
up and gather the stars and
hide them in her bosom, and then

smiling meadows kissed her gar

sand laughing gardens unfurled

deep forest melted into signs and
the melancholy waters whisper
a pensive goodnight to the drows-
ing birds aud sleepy hollows.
Life and love, with a halo Of part
