A Long Fight.

THAT country does not see any harm
in lotteries. as we do, and II keeps the
game moving We have been hshting
this one a long time, and have barred
a dozen or more OF its agents from the
use of the United States mails. THIS
seems to have done no good, for the cir
culars continue 10 come in in increased
Plumbers It is quite plain that the lot
terry managers would stop shipping
their literature over here if they were
not getting good returns. II is mys-
tery to us how the money for the draw
ings is sent TO Bremen.
TT is certainly not going through in
the shape of money orders, for the
postmastars have orders to hold UP mail
for II. Langenhahn & Co. Possibly IL
Is sent by express, and If so we are
powerless to stop it. Some months ago
we ordered special investigation to be
made in New York regarding the oper-
ations of this concern, but we failed to
locate ary OF ITS agents. There is some
mystery here which may be cleared up
by second investigation.

pipe line in town, and bought a good
deal of hose, with an arrangement
with the Southern Pacific company, by
which the pipe was connected with
the pump at the round house, which
was to be always in commission and
connected with a boiler that always
had steam up. The FIRST serious FIRE
since the plant was established found
the pump out Of commission. If the
pump had been able to throw a good
stream OF water the chances are that
the depot would have been saved

by a trainman ia the yard, and the FIRE

no water. The pump in the round

be thrown was from small pipes con.

safely down stairs, with but little
clothing. Very little Of their house

had such a start that only the dining
room could be reached. In the office
nearly every thing was saved, as was
the case in the ware room. In the
telegraph office nothing was saved but
the tYpewriters, Of which there were
several. In the baggage room, where
the Gre was lrst discovered, nothing
was saved. The mail that came 10

COULD NOT SMOKE THEM OUT.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

An American naval officer who was
a student at the Naval Academy with
Commodore Matsmulla of the Japan
csc navy, recently wounded Oh the
bridge of his ship. describes an ex-
perience during their student days.
when the young Japanese got the best
of hazing party. The New York Sun
prints the story:
A pluckier fellow than Matsmula,
a more level-headed chap | never met.
He was graduated in 1878. Part OF the
time his friend. Sartaro Ise, was in
the academy with him.
At the academy Mats" as he was
called, was very popular, and he was
a midshipman when hazng was at its
worst. The Japs had never heard the
word haze, and had no conception Of
its meaning.
One night, hearing good deal OF
noise in their room. went over. and
when opened the door all could see
was a dense smoke out Of which came
several arms. l was jerked into the
room and the door closed. The laps
were being treated to a smoker. The
windows were all closed. and even the
keyhole and crack under the door were
stuffed.
On the narrow mantelpiece stood the
future Japanese hero. Matsmulla. look
Ing like one Of his old ia shioned idols,
but as smiling as a basket of chips.
He was ordered by the hazers to sing
n song in Greek. or the language he
knew but two words. Alpha and
Omega, and these he worked on so
cleverly and with such good nature
that he was lifted down.
Both the Japs took the medicine
with pluck that was their salvation.
In half an hour the air In the room
was unbearable, and even the haAers
began to weaken. Two Of them found
1t convenient to get out. Then Mats
spoke up.
I'VE sorry you thlrd-class men have
engagement" he said. We like you
stay and smoke another pipe"
Not word was spoken. Most OF
the third class men were at that stage
when they did not dare to open their
| mouths.
l don't know how long we could
have stood it. l confess that did not
feel altogether happy myself when
Mats said:
ANY thlrd-cIass gentleman like an
other pipe? There are plenty"
The mere suggestion drove one Of
the hazers out. Then one Of them cried
out that the officer of the day was
coming, and they all tossed their pipes
into the chimney-place and ran.
1t was subterfuge to enable them
to get out Mats had smoked them
ont. "Thlrd-class men not smoke
| much" he said. with laugh. as they
disappeared.
What chnched his popularity was
| that when the officer Of the day did
come along Mats room was still full
| Of smoke, and Matsmulla took all the
blame for the violation Of the rule
against smoking, and did not give tho
| hazers away.

surprising that the ordinary four
legged trestle generally used has not
been improved before this. 1t Is often
necessary for the furniture mover to
have trestles Of different heights for
moving articles Of furniture, and an
Oklahoma man has designed the ad-
Unstable trestle shown in the illustra-

and four legs, the latter being made Of
two sections in each leg one leg being
stationary and one adjustable. The
upper ends Of the stationary legs are
secured by rectangular castings NOR
tised in the corners Of the top piece.
The adjustable and stationary legs are
held together by means Of loops.
which act as guides when the adjust
able legs are being secured in the de-
sired position. On the inner face Of
the stationary legs are number OF
openings arranged equal distances
apart, by means Of which the trestle
is adjusted to the required height, each
pair Of legs being held in position by
a bar at the lower end. The patentee
