Comment Hardly Necessary.


The Caldwell News admits in It's
last issue that two Democrats, Mes
srs. Stockslager and Quarles. were
the justices of the Supreme Court of
Idaho, who rendered the famous de-
cision OF the Supreme Court dis
franchising the old soldiers of the
Soldiers Home at Boise. This de-
cision placed the old soldier on level
with criminals and paupers. and yet
today that paper is making an appeal
to the old soldiers to support Demo-
cratic nominees. II the spirit of 63
Is not dead these old soldiers will
rally round the party that has al
ways respected and appreciated them.
The Republican party is responsible
for every favor the old soldier ever
got. II the old soldier wants hot
air instead of real substantial recog-
milton he should vote the Canyon
County Democratic ticket. The glor-
ious sacrifice and the dismal suffer-
ings of hero's son. who trod the
streets in misery and woe. while far
away on bleak Manila's shore. the
hero gathered shells, will not avail.

Steunenberg reflected more glory on

MANN on THAWING DYNAMITE.
Contractors Ought 10 Use water Jackets
and q Moderate Warmth.

Hudson Maxim, an expert in explosives.
was a witness yesterday at the trial of a
slOO, 900 damage suit William Brixey OF
Seymour, Conn, has brought against the
city in the United States Circuit Court
for injuries received in the Park avenue
tunnel disaster Of 1902. Brixey was at the
Murray Hill Hotel and pieces of plate glass
were driven into his skull by the explosion.
John Hogan, a driver, testified on Mon
day that about 400 pounds of dynamite
had been kept in a six foot square shanty
on the surface at Fortieth street and Park
avenue. A large open box OF decorating
caps stood near by and a bare lighted candle
was in an open socket above this. Brixey's
lawyers say that the candle fell into the
box, setting the caps of and causing the
explosion.
Mr.. Maxim testified that the method Of
the contractors in thawing the dynamite
showed almost criminal carelessness, This
method was to set the dynamite on top Of a
radiator, instead of putting it in a water
jacketed apparatus, applying a moderate
heat Of $50 degrees. The only safe place
to store the stuff, he said, was we'll under
ground, and even then no such quantity
should be kept in one place.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Slower
for the city contended that the tunnel was
then outside the city's power. 1t is ex-
pected hat the case will go to the jury
to-day.

The Manhattan broke down on Monday
night in the middle of the bay. Tho 1000
passengers she carried we're delayed for
almost an hour. On her $50 A. NJ. trip to
Manhattan from st. George yesterday she
ran into the west slip at the foot Of White
hall street with such force as to knock many
of her passengers down. This didn't inn
prove the condition of the slip.
After an absence Of three weeks spent in
the %shipyards, the Bronx returned to SER
vice yesterday. She Ia fitted with sliding
doors, and these have been broken repeat
eddy by slamming and rough handling.
The second slip on the st. George termi-
nal Is now completed. but for some reason

yesterday, Commissioner Of Docks and
Ferries Bensel said:
when the municipal ferries were sug-
gested by former Commissioner Hawkes.,
he thought they would be a losing propo-
sition to the tune Of about $3.50, 900 a year.
They were built with that in mind. But, not
w~ithstanding that, the figures for the last
three months as compared with those Of
the corresponding three months Of last
year show an increase OF "a per cent. in
earnings"
The Commissioner said he thought the
boats would get bumped and hammere d
about, for they are four times as large as
any Of the other ferryboats. On accoun :
Of the size, the pilots have not yet got used
to them. With their forced draught and
speed they are difficult to handle. Yet
the pilots have improved 100 per cent, since
October. In another six months they
will be able to handle these boats as we'll

accustomed.
"The pilots are afraid to 60 into the new
clip at the st George terminal he said.
They are az superstitious as railroad men
about going over a new switch. I'm afraid

them to go into the slip.
"All this trouble simply bears out the
idea that the only way tojrun a ferry is to
have three boats running regularly, one
in reserve and the other in the repair shop.
All boats have to go to the repair shop.
We are not unique in that respect. The
natural wear and tear makes this neces-
sary. When you consider that our boats
are heavier, faster N carry so per cent.
more passengers than any other ferry
boat, IL Ia no wonder that they need fixing
up oftener than the others"

History clerks In public hospitals, espe-

long, because the duties of a history clerk
are not pleasant. Most of them are re-

looking for a job, and just as soon as they
manage to save enough from their pay
they are up and away.
There is a new history clerk in Bellevue
Hospital, and the other night when he
