Dry rot has done considerable dam
age in this city since the last factory

partment of building inspection. The
discoveries made by James G. Houghton
and his assistants have more than i'm
pressed them with the opinion that
owners Of large buildings of mill or
other wood construction should provide
regular inspection on their own account.
Timber rot is most insidious enemy.
It attacks places out Of sight and con
tinues its destructive work unobserved,
converting substantial timbers into
mere punk. Big wooden columns and
girders may stand twenty years and
remain as sound as when they were put
in and in the very next year may de-
velop dry rot.
In a large seven-story warehouse
the other day eight columns and eight

and second floors and it was almost a

The Southern railway was enabled
to get from the Pullman Co. for this
tram T. its most improved equipment,
TOR the reason that this train earns
for the Pullman company probably as
much, II not more, money per car as
any train i'll the United States, on
account Of its very large patronage.
The electric light apparatus for
this train is what is known as the
Willard system of storage batteries,
operated by steam from the locomo.
tive, carried in the baggage car. The
electric arrangements are quite ex-
tensive, and a special electrician goes
with the train as part of the crew,
as much as the conductor or engineer.

Lucky For The Colonel,

A number Of army officers in
Washington were one day exchang-
ing stories of the campaign in Cuba
during the summer of 1898. One Of
them was reminded of an occasion
when volunteer officer thought to
give his men an object lesson in per-
sonal bravery without much risk to
himself. ....
The American regiment had been
brought into position, occupying a
sunken road near Santiago. Spanish
batteries were busily engaged in
pouring shot and shell into the sur
rounding territory. This fire, how
ever, was passing over the regiment
hidden in the roadway, so that really
there was little danger to them. Still
the officer mentioned thought lie op-
portmity good one - do little
"posing,' so he climbed bank of
slight grade and stood behind big
tree. 1t was not long before shell
struck The tree, scattering bark and
splinters in all directions. The officer
who tells the story overheard the fol,
lowing conversation between two OF
the privates in the road beneath:
"Say, Bill, it was lucky thing
for the colonel that the tree was
there.'
"Sure thing!" responded the sec
ond private, "but you can bet youl
life if it hadn't been for the tree, the
colonel would never have been there
in the first place!'

DENOUNCED.
MACHINE
n 'T'exas Member Asserted That Party
& Had Deserted Peoples Interest,
But Would be Called to Ac-
count.

The State. -
Washington, May 22.-The So
called republican "machine was the
subject Of scathing denunciation in
the house of representatives at the
hands of Mr.. Randel (Tcxas), who
said that the leaders of the house who
constitute and run the machine"
had done absolutely nothing except to
make hypocritical pretcnse as to some
things and to unblushingly advocate
the "stand pat" doctrine in other
things.
"The completeness with which the
republican party had deserted the
peoples interest is apparent in its
treatment Of every vital question be-
fore the congress-" said Mr.. Randell.
He was Of the opinion that the con-
centration Of wealth, 50 great in
amount as to stagger the comprehen-
sion Of human intellect was greater
menace to free government than all
the armed hosts of its enemies. He
said the attitude Of the republican
party toward the territories is an
other proof that it is unworthy to
rule.
"The sisterhood Of states," he
said, "should make common cause in
rebuking the cruel and outrageous
crime committed by the republican
party. Impelled by fear, the ma
chine may yet admit one state, but
the people will understand the mo-
tive and should not stay the hand Of
retribution.
"These machine leaders have been
and are deceiving the great mass OF
voters who put them in power. The
rank and file of the republican party
wants justice, and if only they would
examine the record of their represen-
tatives the avenging hand of all out
