TO MAKE NEW YORK FIREPRooF.
Plan Suggested to Equip Windows Of
Buildings With Shower Pipes.

Plan Suggested to Equip Windows Of
Buildings With Shower Pipes
A novel scheme to make New York
a freprOOf city was suggested to Com
missioner John T. Oakley Of the water
supply department yesterday, says the
New York World, by committees rep
resenting the Merchants association
and the Retail Dry Goods association
The plan is to equip the windows on
all buildings throughout the city with
a water shower, which is TO be con
nected with pipes leading from the
street. In case any building is threat
ened by fire which starts in an adjOiD-
ing building these showers can be
turned on by the fremen and thus
make safe the endangered property
Commissioner Oakley said that he
would DO all in his power to see that
the plan was carried out, but does not
know whether he has the power to
order such a system
The Merchants association viii
designate an engineer to study the
plans for the elaborate system Of
pipes through which salt water is to
be supplied to the fire plugs in Man
haitian and Brooklyn and to report on
what improvements can be made This
information viii be turned over TO
Commissioner Oakley and he has
promised to cooperate with the assO-
citation.
Commissioner Oakley complained
that the plans called for an adequate
supply Of fresh water TO be used on
small fires and stated that the salt
water is only. to be used in cases Of
emergency or in dangerous fires

kRUeER's MESSAGE TO BoERs.
Significance in Honors Paid to the
Dead Leader.


Dead Leader.
The body Of Paul Kruger was laid
to rest in Pretoria on Friday. Beers
of all factions, those who from the
first supported Krugerism as well as
those who did not; commanders Of
Kruger's armies, and those who served
in the ranks; Englishmen who fought
against Kruger and the British govern
ment that overwhelmed him. all par
ticipated in the ceremony at the grave
of the lion Of the Fransvaal."
The most notable tribute paid the
BOer leader who organized resistance
to British encroachment was the firing
Of a salute Of twenty-One guns by the
order Of the sovereign Of the British
empire. Under this order the former
president Of the South African repub-
lie received the salute that would
have been fired over his grve by his
own people had he died in Ofice and at
the zenith Of his power.
This recognition by the cOnqueTing
nation Of the rank and the services Of
the leader OF a conquered people must
have been very grateful not only to
Gen Botha and his generals, but to
all Of the humber followers Of the
Boer president.
In view Of the fact that KrUgerism
is a factor in the transitional struggle
in the Transvaal, the action Of King
Edward in ordering the salute fired
over the grave Of Kruger was not only
gracious, but polite. No one has
clearly defined what Krugerism is in
it's application to the present situation
in South Africa, but if Paul KTugeT's
last message to his people urging
them to preserve their national spirit
is Krugerism then it must be dealt
with in the spirit Of the treaty Of
peace signed May 81. 1902.
In that treaty the fighting BOer
generals surrendered on the promise
that their people should be given or
should retain representative institu-
tions. The Beer contention was that
the Beers should retain their language
and should constitute a self-goTerning
Boer state under British sovereignty
This is not inconsistent with Kruger's
last message to preserve their nation
al or Boer spirit.-Chicago Inter
Ocean.

They sat on a fat boulder in Pine
Canon. while a heayy-set, bull-necked
man in a black mask leaned on rife
and looked at them. The girl was
white and silent, and her escort held
her hand. He was a young man, dark
and imperiOus, but his eyes had a
soft glow in them, and he looked at
her with that ecstatic expression
which but one woman can bring to a
mans face.
Don't worry" he whispered, as he
fondled the little hand, 1T isn't any
thing serious. The men have my
checks to pay for our ransom, and
when they return with the money we
will be released. It is only the mat
ter Of an hour or so. Turn your
head, Mary do believe YOU are cry
ing. And 1 thought you such brave
girl" he continued in tone OF forced
railleTy. You are always laughing
at me because I am timid with dogs,
and last week you refused me again,
for no other reason than because
ran away from a gang Of drunken
rOEdies- I never thought to see you
crying over such a harmless adTen-
ture.'
Don't make fun Of me, Harry, -
she pleaded, as she struggled with her
tears. Il never said that was brave
know that I'm a e-cOE ard, but 1
want my h-h-husband to be brave for
both. And you're not" she continued,
indignation getting the better OF her
fear. when these men came, you
just held out your hands; and you've
been like a I-l-lamb."
Harry turned his head aside to con-
ceal the broad grin that flashed
across his face Then he moved near
er and caught her other hand.
Listen, Mary" he said. Il know
that you think me a coward, though
am but cautious. I can risk myself
when there is any reason for doing so,
but a reason with me must be some
thing more than mere braggadOciO-
You have lived in the West so long
that you can appreciate nothing but
spectacular bravery. In my part OF
the country, that is not needed
am not what you think me; indeed
am not"
Mary disengaged her hands and hid
her face in her handkerchief 4

a smOthered voice. at least, there
IS nothing hypOcriticaI nor false about
you You do not pretend to be what
you are not"
Harry's face was convulsed in an
extraordinary manner, and turned to
q sea-Teen hue. No" he answered
family, I have never pretended to
be better than am, even to you. But
if anything would make me false to
myself it would have been a desire
for your appreciation; a wish to be
