by the insects aud crossed over to his

Fire Drill TIA pubIic schools

Protecting crowds from accidents is
problem OF the cities. The avcrting
OF cataStrophieS in schools and thea.
tcrs, ut meetings and on excursions,
rests with the lawmakers. the police
and the iircmen. There have been six
school fires in Now York during the
last year. In none OF them was there
a death, AMI the only reported injury
was stumped toe. Under the law
the public schools must have exits and
hose stations a-plenty. and there must
be fire drills in each building at least
twice a month. SO thoroughly trained
are the pupils that they drop every.
thing on the. instant. form In double
files and march out. II takes two min
utes 10 get 1000 OF them TO the street
The signal sounds so frequently for
drills that when real danger arises

HAS HAD BUSY LIFE.
THOMAS f. RYAN, NEW OWNER
OF EQUITABLE LIFE.
He Has Been Power in Wall Street
for Many Years-Rose from
Poor Boy to Place of
Influence.

New York.-Thomas l.. Ryan has
been at the head of nearly every finan-
cial deal of consequence that has been
consummated in Wall street in the last
decade No one identified with that
powerful and resourceful group Of
capitalists and financiers known as the
Whitney syndicate has gained wider
measure of success than Mr.. Ryan,
though the public has never been ac-
quainted with his methods, nor has it
ever known of any big transaction con-
templated by him until official an
nouncement of it was made, says g
special to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Mr.. Ryan has a distaste for publicity.
His secretiveness is such that his
friends say his right hand never knows
what his left is doing.
Mr.. Ryan has bested, time and again,
such men as James r. Keene, James j..
Hill and others of that class. Mr..
Keene was signally discounted when
Ryan put through the stock exchange
transaction by which control of the
Third Avenue Railroad company was
secured by the Metropolitan interests.
His Wall street triumphs have been
so numerous, in fact, that it is doubtful
| if Mr.. Ryan himself is able to recall
all of them.
Mr.. Ryan is 81 years old. His career
has been remarkable in many ways.
Its most amazing feature is this-that
he worked his way from absolute pow
erty to power and almost unlimited
wealth He was born in Nelson coun-
ty, Va, on October II, 1851, his mater
nal ancestors having been Scotch-Irish
and his fathers ancestors. having come
from the north of Ireland to Virginia
before the revolution. His mother died
when he was five years old, and he
went to live with his grandmother.
Young Ryan left the homestead and
went to Baltimore to seek his fortune.
Without money or friends he had a
hard row to hoe. BY perseverance he
finally secured a small position with
John Barry's dry goods commission
house. Two years later he struck out

REASON WHY DOG sNoRED

Walter Bacon, who has no children
Of his own, tells of the bright remark
Of six-year-old boy who is the pride
Of friends family The friend r a
civil and mechanical engineer, and natu-
rally has talked shop around his home
until the boy is somewhat familiar with
technical terms.
Recently the family took charge of
q pug dog belonging to neighbor, who
had gone to the country. The pug was
old and fat, and had difficulty in breath
ing, which caused it TO snore when it went
to sleep.
The first night the family was kept
awake by the dogs snoring, and the
next night, things were worse. The en-
gineer and his wife were in quandary
they had promised the neighbce 10 take
care of the dog, but they felt 1t was
necessary they should sleep. They were
discussing the matter at breakfast, while
the canine cause of the disturbance lay
contentedly on the rug with its abrupt
nose between it's paws.
Finally the, six-year-oId boy broke into
the conversation.

"Well, why" inquired the father.
