New Device Hits Coal Barons

I've" DStbSS tuS0 SVSA D0sOuSs
The latest device for the perfect
combustion of fuel and the consequent
saving in the amount Of same, is
Known by the very euphonious name,
"Aeolipyle."
1t is an apparatus that has been on
the eastern market for five or six
years past and introduced into the
northwest late last winter by the COM
pany's northwestern salesman, Mr.. NJ.
J. Mallon. Already over a hundred Of
these fuel saving devices have been
installed in this city, and all without
exception are doing good work. 1t not
only saves coal, but maintains an even
temperature, night as we'll as day, and
so perfect is the combustion that the
sitting Of ashes is unnecessary. 1t
can be applied to any heating plant
from a stove to steam boiler. Any
one wishing to save coal this winter,
besides keeping their homes warm all
the time, should lose no time in COM
municating with Mr.. NJ. J. Mallon,

FROM THE CAPITAL.

Peter Conley, G32 q. Fourth street
and Miles Kinsella, ISL w. Third
street, are the latest st. Paul victims
Of caving earth, the two being buried
Monday, while working in an exca-
walton on Minnesota street, near
Fourth. They were working on the
pipes Of the American District Steam
company, and the cave-in was due to
an old sewer in the excavation. They
were removed to st. Joseph's hospi-
tai, but neither was seriously injured.

ing, and the fact that Sunday was
a perfect day, without even the least
suggestion Of a wind, alone permitted
the town to escape. The big elevator
of the South st. Paul Stock Yards
company was destroyed, and only the
energetic work Of the Swift company
fire department and the South st.
Paul department, aided by one engine,
a truck and hose wagon from st.
Paul, saved the sheep pens, the grain
barns of the Swift company and the
plant of the Hauser Malt company.
The damage done will approximate
$50, 1000, of which $4,000 will fall on
the stock yards company, $4,000 on the
South ST. Paul Grain company and
$4,000 on Swift & Co. The elevator
Of the stock yards company was prac-
tically destroyed and the contents that
did not burn were water soaked. The
storage Of the grain company was not
so extensive.

Joseph Fahey, Of huntsville, Mimi,

feet, and had evidently struck the

Three distinct shocks were felt, but the
first was the heaviest and did all the dam

The greatest damage in the State was
done in Augusta and Portland to the

STATE pAuPERs.
Work of Handling Them Systemat-
lied by Councillor T.. f. Chase.

Work of Handling Them Systemat-
lied by Councillor Il. e. Chase.
There is great amount OF work
involved in the care OF the 5000 Stste
paupers In whose behalf the State gov
eminent deals annually with about 10
towns.
Judge E e. Chase, of Bluehili, Is at the
head OF the council committee on State
beneficaries and pensions, and he hae
done much to systefnatizs this work.
He has new troubles, however, since the
Last legislature added to the burdens OF
this committee by so changing the pauper
Law that under q liberal Interpretation OF
its provisions city or town might palm
off on the State Its bills for extending the
courtesy of a supper and breakfast to
strolling hobo.
But the legislature forgot to give the
council any money to pay for such hand
outs. 1t appropriated just enough
mouey to suffice for the usual run OF State
paupers In the old meaning OF the
statute.
To prevent any heart burnings and dis
appointment over this new law, Coun-
ciilor Chase has notified the various
municipal officers that the State does not
propose at this time to be held up for the
price of any handouts which the towns
may give the hobo. To the end that there
| may be no mistake as to the attitude Of
the council, Judge Chase has established
the rule OF procedure for municipal offic-
ers. This procedure Is thus clearly set
forth:
Before any person can be recognized as
a State pauper it will be incumbent upon
your town to prove by alternative evil
deDce with as much accuracy as would be
required to prove pauper case between
towns Ia court:
a. That the person has no pauper set
tlernent In any town In the State.
(2.) That he was in distress and in need
| OF relief.
(3) That he asked for and received
supplies with a full knowledge that they
were pauper supplies.
al That said supplies we're reasonable
| and necessary.
This evidence must be in the form OF
affiadsvits, signed and sworn to by some
competent person or persons having
knowledge of all the facts. Conclusie ms
will not be accepted as evidence at this
| department. This evidence must disclose:
a. Date and place OF birth Of the
| illeged psuper.
t2.) Where hel.ha lived and how long
In each place.
al The number OF his family and the
| ages OF the children IL any.
(4.) The condition of the illeged pau
per or family and reason for having
fallen into distress.
(5.) Such oshsr facts as may besdeemed
| necessary to establish his lack OF settle
| msnt in the State.
II town insists on having the full
benefit of the law which the last legisla-
ture iiberaiized, they can file their claims
| and wait. Councillor Chase informs the
municipal officers that the next legisla-
ture may make an appropriation to cover
| the additional expense Incurred and says
that such towns as wish may prove their
claims and have their evidences died with
their claims for REIN bursement.

ORIGIN OF ORATORIOS.
They Were First Introduced In the
Sixteenth Century

They Were First Introduced In the
Sixteenth Century.
St Philip de Weri, Florentine
priest, born 1915, first introduced dra-
matte services in his oratory. In order
to draw the young or careless to
church he and others who followed his
lead had hymns, psalms and spiritual
songs or cantatas sung either in cho-
rus or by single favorite voice as spe-
cial attractions
These pieces We're divided into two
parts. Sacred stories or events from
Scripture written in verse and by way
of dialogue were set to music, and the
first part was performed before the
sermon, which the people were induced
to stay and hear that they might not
miss the performance of the second
part.
The subjects in early times were the
Good Samaritan" and the "Prodigal
Son." which by the excellence of the
composition, the band of instruments
and the performance brought the mu-
sic of oratory into great repute.
Afterward any such rendering of sa-
cred musical drama obtained the gen
eral appellation of ''oratorio.' The first
oratorio in England was performed in
London in Lincoln's Inn theater in
Portugal street in 1882.

Samoyeds, a race of Mongolians in
habiting the shores of the arctic ocean,
maintain themselves by hunting and
fishing. They make use of the same
implements in bone and stone, besides
cherishing the same superstitions, as
were current in the stone age among
the inhabitants of western Europe.
They clothe themselves in reindeer
skins. In fine weather they wear the
hair outside, and when it is wet Sthe
tunic is reversed. This interesting race
is gradually dying out owing partly to
the scourge of smallpox which makes
ravages among them and also to their
fondness for raw spirits. which leads
them to degradation and misery, as the
Russian merchants take advantage of
this to cheat them when bartering for
valuable skins and walrus teeth. In
fact. to such an extent do these traders
dupe them that the Samoyeds some
times are reduced to state of famine
and have recourse to cannibalism. This
seems to account for the name Samo-
yed, which was given them by the
Russians and which signifies in their
language self eating. Every year In
mid-Lent these queer looking people
travel down in their reindeer sledges
from Archangel to st. Petersburg and
take up their abode temporarily on the
frozen river Neva, where they build
themselves circular huts composed of
a framework of poles. over which are
stretched reindeer skins. Here they
