the records fall to state. In 1879 Salem
purchased two or three dozen cedar
buckets, besides hooks and other I'M
plements; also the selectmen and TWO
others were authorized to take ccni-
mand at fires and to blow up and pull
down buildings when such action was
necessary. This practice appears to

Philadelphia no mention Is made Of
public precaution against fire until
1896, when law was passed forbid

the same to become foul. Each house
was to have a sWab, bucket or pail.
Another act was passed In 100 order

DENATURED ALCOHOL.
Claimed to Be Far Superior to Oleo
Products.


Products.
The denatured alcohol bill re.
Gently passed by congress and
sent to the president for his sig
nature is more far reaching in
it's effects than the public gener,
ally imagine.
Denatured alcohol is alcohol
mixed with a sufficient quantity
of methyl or wood alcohol or
other materials or mixtures to
destroy it's use as a beverage or
bases for drinks or medicinal
purposes, says a Washington
special to the New York World.
It can be made from any grain,
the refuse of sugar beet factor
les, potatoes, fruits, cane and
cassava. Grain alcohol now pays
an internal revenue tax Of S2.O7
a gallon. Denaturel alcohol will
pay no tax. Its advocates expect
that it can be manufactured and
sold as low as 81 a ton. One
bushel of corn, costing not more
than 40 cents, will make 5 gal
Ions of alcohol. Illuminating oil
costs from IA to Is cents a gal
Ion, and denatured alcohol can
be manufactured to sell at from
s to 10 cents a gallon.
The first bill for .denatured al
cohol was intrsduced in the
house by Representative Muir
dock of Kansas, who was elect
ed on a platform of Is'rec-headed
men are needed in congress.
The advocates Of denatured al
cohol expect that it will revolu-
tionize heating, lighting and pow
er generation. They expect it
will give farmers new and bet
ter market for grains, sugar
beets, cane and other products
from which alcohol can be made.
They also expect it to-
Supplant gasoline and naptha
in generating power for automo-
biles, launches and small en-
gines.
Supplart kerosene as an illum-
inant, because it does not vitlate
the air, and there is less danger
of explosians.
Cheaper naptha, gasoline and
Illuminating oils.
Cheaper paints, varnishes and
perfumery.
Increase the manufacture and
sale of alcohol lams and chahng
dishes.
Cheaper the cost of alcohol
used in the arts.
Experts say that denatured al,
cohol will either force the Stan
dard Oil monopoly to reduce the
price of gasoline or will displace
gasoline altogether.
Alcoucl is a mucn cleaner fuel
and IS very much less dangerous.
Gasoline mixed with a certain
amount of air forms low gas
which is highly explosive, Dena'
trrod alcohol will burn but il
will not explode except unde,
compression. Over 500 gallons
NAV be made from an acre Of
potatoes. 1t may be denaturec
by the application Of any one Of
a half dCzen cheap chemical ele
ments.
There has been a great deal o!
complaint among yahtsmen anc
automobiles over the exactlonS
of the Standard, which has IN
creased the price of gasoline
steadily until the retailer has tx
pay 22i cents for the best quail
ity. The stuff that sells at re
tail for 13 and II cents a gallon
is almost useless for automobiles
and motor boats. The presen'
gasoline engine, with only {
Slight alteration, can use alcoho
as a fuel. A gallon Of alcoho
will supply more horsepower

AT meeting of the directors of
the Home Oil Company held this
morning, it was decided that the pres
ent status of the oil situation was
sufficient to justify the Company in
going ahead with development work
on their property in the oil fields, and
the Secretary was instructed to sell
only enough stock, which with the
money now on hand would be suffi-
cient to drill the first well. In or
der to let these additional stockhold-
ers in on the ground floor it was vot-
ed to sell this stock at TEN CENTS
per share until further notice.
If anything should occur to pre-
vent the drilling of the well, the
Company agrees to refund the mon
ey in the treasury to those who have
bought the stock. You will never
have a fairer opportunity than this.
Sale of stock commences Friday
morning, June 29th, at 9 o'clock.
Stock can be secured at either First
National or Citizens, National Bank.
or at the Office of the Secretary.

EMOTIONAL INSANITY.
Will Be the Plea of the Defense in
Case of Harry Thaw.

ment that the defense will take the
ground of Emotional Insanity" as a
basis of their fight for the release of
Harry K Thaw. indicted for the muir
der of Stanford White, set at rest
all speculation on that point today.
1t will not be claimed that the young
man is insane now. Such a plea
would mean a sentence to an asylum
for the criminal insane. The defense
plans to bring out the whole story
of Whites relations with Evelyn Mes
bit before she married Thaw and of
his subsequent actions which the de-
fendant claims annoyed Mrs Thaw
and led to the shooting. Mrs. Thaw
will be a witness for her husband at
the trial Anthony Comstock in an
interview says he is willing to ap-
pear for the defense if called and
give evidence as to Whites immoral
conduct.
According to the Globe today, an

the fact that Stanford White. who
was supposed to be wealthy, had
been living beyond his income and
was heavily in debt, owing $350,000

Washington, June Ex-senator Till
man called up the conference report
on the railroad rate bill today and
renewed his attack upon the pipe
line amendment as being in the int
crest of the Standard Oil Co. He
thought the President had been in
considerate in not coming to the as
sistance of the senate conferees.
In the course of debate on the
conference report on the railroad rate
bill, Senators Bailey and Tillman en-
gagged in a very sharp controversy
over the latter's denunciation of the
lawyers. The Texas senator express
ed the opinion that this was dema-
goguery Tillman, while contending
that he respected lawyers of stand
ing said that he had an utter con-
tempt for snysters and men who
pack political conventions There
was intense feeling for few mo-
ments, but it passed away.
At 300 d. m. the senate agreed to
the conference report on the rail-
road rate bill, which passed the mea-
sure. The senate passed joint reso-
luton which makes the rate bill go
into effect sixty days after passage.
The house at 4:30 p. M adopted
the conference report on the pure
food bill. This passes the bill.
The conference report on the bill
creating a bureau of naturalization
and immigration was adopted by the
house today This passes the bill.
The house today adopted the >con-
ference report on the Lake Erie Ca
nal bill, which passed the bill. The
public building appropriation bill was
sent TO conference today.
Meat Inspection May Win.
Washington, June 29.-When the
conferees on the agricultural appro-
priation bill met today, the house
representatives announced that i'm
der instructions voted by the house
they would be compelled to insist up
on the house provision in regard to
meat inspection without compromise
of any kind TIE senate conferees
stood out for the compromise propo-
Sition offered by Senator Proctor to
divide the expense of inspection be-
tween the packers and the govern
ment. by making a $4.O0O,OO0 appro-
priation. but taxing cattle five cents
a head and swine, sheep and goats
three cents, which would afford q
revenue of about $1.5OO,000 annual
ly The conference broke up al
he would ask the senate for further
instructions.
Senator Beveridge, who introduced
the original meat inspection amend.
ment TO the agricultural approprfa.
ton bill, has withdrawn his objec
1ions to the house substitute, and
this is taken as an indication that
the senate viii today instruct its con,
ferees to accept the house provision
The Indiana senator said that he
was in favor of compelling the pack
ers to pay the cost Of inspection and
to place the date of inspection or
cans of meat, but in the interest oi
practical legislation to purify mea
products he would not stand in ths
way because the government is re
auired to pay the cost of inspection
senate leaders believe that the out
come must be concession to ths
