Obituary.
Grambs.

Mrs. Margaret M. Grambs of this
| city died at the Holy Cross hospital on
| Thursday, July 16. It was with SIM
cere regret that hundreds of friends
! throughout the West heard of her
death, for nature never nodded a bet
ter or nobler woman than she whose
soul has gone to eternal reward.
Mrs. Grambs was a native of Ger
many, and was IS years old. She spent
most of her life in Nevada and no one
was ever more loved and respected by
all classes.
There was never 4 woman more gen
erous or charitably inclined She would
snare her last dollar with neighbor,
but in the most unassuming manner.
One Of the best tributes to her men,
ory was a remark made at her funeral
when an old-time friend remarked:
No one ever left the door of Mrs
Grambs hungry" She was noted for
her hospitality and kindness TO the
clergy, being one of the pioneers Of
the church in Nevada.
Her funeral took place from st.
Mary's cathedral on Friday morning.
requiem mass was celebrated by Rev.
Father Morrissy, who paid a beautiful
and eloquent tribute to the life and
character of the deceased.
The funeral was we'll attended,
among the congregation being many
friends of Mrs. Grambs' early days in
Nevada and Utah. E. F. and H. Fru-
denthal of Nevada, nephews of Mrs
Grambs, came up from Nevala during
her final illness. It is consoling to them
that they gave her every loving atten-
ton in death. as they always did in
life. Her death was that of an earnest
Christian woman-a peaceful. happy
death. that was a fitting close to
well scent life.
May God rest her brave spirit and
give her the eternal reward promised to
faithful souls.

FIRES FROM ELECTRIC WIRING
Danger From Old or inefficient ~lnsuIa.
tion-Safety Requires Care.

hanger From OLD or Inefficient lnsula.
tion-Safety Requires Care.
Casters Magazine: One OF the
most difficult things an electrical in
surance department has to do is to
prove to h lay mind that an installa-
ton Which a been IN use for several
years Is an unsafe condition, owing to
the poor condition II the insulation.
The claim Is made. ami perhaps rightly,
that h equipment has not given any
great amount Of trouble, and it is
therefore difficult to convince the as
sured OF the possibility Of fire from
electrical causes, as they fail to ap-
p~reclate the fact that the efforts of h
fire department are, directed toward the
prevention of fires, rather thai in de-
termlning the u or origin Of a fire
after 1t has occurred.
The old saying that familiarity
breeds contempt" is most applicable to
the average electrical equipment when
under the supervision of persons who
know nothing of the Inherent danger of
the system. AS a rule. no sooner is an
equipment completed than more or less
extensive changes and alterations are
instituted, these additions and changes
being made without any regard what
ever to the ordinary precautions which
are supposed to be taken in connection
with electrical work,
1t is a common thing to find on the
average equipment, after it has been
boards or cut-outs, which, for protec-
ton, We're encased In cabinets con-
Istructed of, or lined with, slate, iron
5or similar material, used as storage
closets TOR waste, rags, paper and other
scombustible things. When the inclos-
ures are too small for his purpose, the
doors. are either left open or removed,
and material of the most combustible
nature is stored In direct contact with
open fuses, bare bus bars and switches.
The ease with which an electric light
or fan can be Installed at any point
in a building, or with which changes
can be made in the position Of a lamp,
using for this purpose a flexible cord
and connecting it to the most conven-
lent source Of supply, is perhaps one of
the most common and fragrant viola
lions Of prescribed rules. AS it re-
quires but a short time, usually, for the
Of this cord to become
abraded, or SO dry and hard as to
break at any point where 1t may be
disturbed 1t can be seen that this con-
dition is likely to result in trouble
at any place on the circuit.
The use Of large copper wire and
extraordinarily heavy fuses in c%us-outs,
after the fuse originally installed has
operated, is on the Same order. This
can be compared in recklessness only
to the tying dawn of the safety valve on
a steam boiler. A little knowledge of
electricity and the laws which gov
ern it in its application toSpower and
lighting systems, we'll seasoned with
ordinary common sense, would enable
almost any one to understand the av-
erage precautions necessary in the
safeguarding OF electrical wiring and
apparatus, and if this knowledge, so
seasoned, were only occasionally ap-
piled. the fire losses from electrical
causes would be largely diminished.

by tine way, very few Of those who were
either born or live within the sound Of

SO far as to state that the strangely
employed weapon had Something to
do with Wat Tyler" but even they
would be incorrect, although 1t must
be admitted that they have been most
consistently mis.ed on the point.
The flag is Il reproduction Of the

believed that the dagger was added
to the red cross by Richard II. Gin
commemoration OF Wat Tyler's insur-
rection and the death Of the rebel In
