One Of those fedgling orators that

More Christmas Hints

A New York woman who likes to re-
member distant friends by gifts that
cannot be picked up in many other
cities always takes day off from her
usual uptown Christmas shopping, and
makes a tour of the brass shops in
the lower part of the city. This year
she came home with a good-sized three
handled loving cup made Of hammered
brass, which cost her 80 cents; pair
OF heavy old candlesticks for which she
paid $3.50. and graceful chocolate pot
large enough to hold eight or nine cups
of chocolate. All these articles are OF
Russian brass.
The holly bell calendars are CHEEKY

YOKE FOR HORSES

Almost since the time when man first
harnessed two horses together he has
been endeavoring to devise some draft
equalizing operation whereby one horse
may not be permitted to hang back and
throw the burden OF the load on the
other or more willing animal. The de-
sign Of harness shown here recently ap-
peared on the streets Of one OF the
Western cities. and seems calculated to
accomplish the desired purpose.
The improvement consists Of a sci

tubular metal, to render them light
without sacrifice of strength. The
names are set in a framework. also oi

RUBBER SAW HANDLE

Among the newest ideas for the pur-
pose Of increasing the comfort Of the
worhngman' is a saw handle made Of
rubber. The advantage Of such a ham
die is that, being elastic. it prevents vi
bration and jarring OF the hand Of the
operator, and also that, as it is nom
breakable. it may be detached from one
blade and put on another, and is, there
fore, practically indestructible.
In shape and appearance, with the
exception of the color. the handle is the
same as the wooden one now in COM
mon use. In its manufacture the ham
die is made by pouring the soft rubber
in a suitable mold, and at the time OF
its formation two small pieces Of heavy

SUNDAYS FIRE
Was in the GIendenning House
on College Avenue.

Chef, One of Handsome Fire Horses,
Drops Dead.

An alarm was rung in at 4.30 Sunday
morning, from box 81 of the fire de-
partment for !, fire in house on Col
lege avenue, occupied by Mr.. Glenden-
ming and owned by Hon. VIM. T.
Hanes. The house was located in a
field near the Maine Central repair
shops, and the condition of the atmos-
phere was such as to make a small fire
look like a conflagration, so many peo-
pie thought that the shops must be on
fire.
Mr.. GlendcnEinS belongs to tho. night
crew of the Maine Central and was on
duty when the fire was discovered.
Mrs. Glendenning was away visiting,
SO the house was unOccupied during the
night. The whole rear of the building
Vas ablaze when the first piece of ap-
raratus arrived, showing that the fire
had caught from the rear. Some time
was lost in pulling in the alarm, as the
person who discovered the fire did not
know of the existence of box 40, about
100 yards from the burning house, and
so ran to the box at the corner of Col
legc avenue and High street. The
house was Il total loss, as nothing but
some of the furniture was saved. An
inurancc Of $1,000 Was carried on the
house and one of $500 on the furniture
The fire department met with loss
in going to the fire. Dick and Chef, the
pair of black horses belonging to the
hook and ladder truck, have been run
ming together for the last nine years,
and, yesterday morning, Chef. the run
ner on the nigh side. dropped dead in
his harness just before the fire was
reached. These two horses were bought
by the city. nine years ago. at a cost
of $3.50. They We're then supposed to
be seven years old. so they had reached
the retiring age from such hard SER
vice. The truck weighs 3940 pounds
and this with the weight of the men
was no small load for the horses to
haul at such Il rapid rate. but no blame
attaches to Driver Davis. who eXer-
cised due care in making the run. AS
soon as il WAS seen that Chef was dead.
word was sent to J. p. Goddard to fur
n;h Il horse to draw the truck to the
scene OF the fire.
This is the second time within few
ye: rs that the fire department has lost
horses. 1t was just three years ago
that a pair of horses belonging to the
department was e!ectroCuted by step

been heavily charged with electricity.

BANK STATEMENT.
The Figures Given Out, Saturday, Were
Very Satisfactory.

New York, Oct. 1S.-The bank state
ment Saturday, was quite favorable.
although the increase in reserve was
hardly more than nominal and was
brought about by Il large decrease in
deposits rather than a gain in cash.
The net loss in cash amounted to S604,-
500, which compares with a preliminary
estimate of a gain of $1100,000. The
difference undoubtedly arose from OPP
crations in New York City not wholly
reflected in last weeks statement. The
really favorable feature of the state
ment was a decrease in loans amount
ing to S4,S36,000, which partially re-:
fleets the heavy liquidation of the early
part of the week in the stock market.
Inasmuch as the rally in the market
came too late to be figured in this
weeks statement, the increase in loans
resulting will be shown in the statement
of next week. The total reserve now
stands at S17.433,25O, which compares
with $5.60S,250 last year at this time
and $15.465,777 in 1901. The statement
follows:
