at least one street railway company
in Los Angeles will adopt the fender.
Yesterday the device was explained
to O. Herald man and it's workings
shown by the model as it darted along
the little third rail track at terrific toy
speed and then was brought to a sud-
den stop by the application of the au-
tomato brake.
The fender is operated by a lever
which can be easily pulled back by the
motorman without shutting off the cur
rent or touching the ordinary air brake.
AS the lever is pulled the fender falls
close to the track and Is capable of
lifting even the samllest object and
holding 1t in it's iron clasp compare
lively without harm.
Shoe Grips Wheels
At the same time a steel shoe slips
under the forward car wheels, raising
them from the rails, while the shoe
slkids along the track until momentum
is overcome and the car is brought to
a standstill.
By the use of a patented sand box
sand can be poured on the rails in case
the track is slippery. The simplicity
of the appliance, it is thought, will ap-
peal to all railroad men.
There is no delicate apparatus liable
to get out of order, no valves, pipes or
batteries.
The fender can be placed on cars
without the brake, If necessary, but the
inventor thinks the two should go to-
gether.
The brake is only intended for an
emergency and does not conflict with

PIN Is EXTRACTED
BY MASHED POTATOES

Mashed potatoes were at premium
around the receiving hospital yesterday
when 14-year-old Clarence Segia was
taken to that institution suffering un-
told agonies from pin which he had
swallowed.
The boy had been playing in the
yard in the rear of his home at ia
East Pico street. He had abstracted a
pin from a bundle of clothing with
which he was playing and had placed
it in his mouth. A few minutes later
a playmate sprang at him, and the sur
prise caused Clarence to swallow the
pin.
The boy ran to his mother, unable to
speak, as the pin had lodged in his
throat, but he managed to make her
understand what was the matter Mrs.
Segia at once hurried him to the re-
ceiving hospital, where it was found
the pin had gone to his stomach, and a
large quantity Of mashed potatoes was
at once given him. officers were hur-
ried to surrounding restaurants and re-
turned with platters filed with the
vegetable. and the boy was forced to
eat 1t. In a short time Clarence was
relieved OF the pin and was able to re-
turn to his home

WIDOWS DOG LIES
IN STATE SIX DAYS
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, April 1S.-Dandy,
black poodle lay in state six days in
the home OF his mistress, Mrs. c. c.
Gardner, in 13 Jardine place, East New
York. Dandy, whose health had been
none of the best for the last three
years, died, and 1t was a week before
his sorrowing mistress could bring her
self to face the thought of parting with
all that was mortal of her pet. Even
now the separation will be only tenn
porary. Dandy has gone to Green
point taxidermist to be brought back
later as nearly lifelike as stuffing can
make any dead dog.
For eleven years Dandy and his mis-
tress had been housemates and COM
panions. When he died she grieved so
that she had a couch made for him in
the front room. There he was combed
and groomed and big spread Of black
silk, on which had been worked in
gold letters, Here lies Dandy" draped
over him.
Mrs. Gardner, who is a widow and
lives alone, said that for the first few
days of her loss she could neither eat
nor sleep. Even now she cannot speak
of it without tears. Most of her time
she spent beside the couch where her
pet lay asleep. The children of
the neighborhood-and Jardine place
place swarms with them and they all
know Dandy-came in to offer their
condolences and sympathy quite as
they would do for any other friend
Then one by one they would be col
emnly ushered into the chamber OF
death to view the body.
"At last I realized that I couldn't
keep him forever" said Mrs. Gardner
"but it won't be long now before
have him back again.

WHITE OUT ON BAIL.
Teller of Canton Bank Makes No
Statement at Hearing.

BALTIMORE. January 1-William II
White, paying teller of the Canton National
Bank, had preliminary hearing Yesterday
before United States Commissioner Rogers
on the charge of embezzling $500 of the
banks funds, and was released on $4,000
bail for the action Of the federal grand
jury, which meets Thursday. AS II was
testified at the hearing that White had ad-
mitted the embezzement, 1t Is expected
his case will be speedily disposed Of The
penalty provided by law for the offense is
Imprisonment of not less than five years or
more than ten years
The story of Whites arrest and confe
sion was told in the dispatches yesterday.
National Bank Examiner Samuel NJ Ham
who discovered the shortage in Whites ac-
counts, and City Detectives Bradley and
Weaver. who arrested White at his home at
Halethorpe, were the witnesses at the
hearing. Mr.. Ham said in his testimony
that the first shortage in Whites accounts
was discovered by him last Friday Mr.
Ham also testified that White admitted a t
once that there was a shortage and that
it amounted to s. 800. White said the
money had been spent on his home.
The detectives testified to the arrest and
confession of White.
White was represented by Attorney Jo-
seph a. Clark at the hearing, but made no
statement. The warrant, which was sworn
out by Mr. Ham, charged White with en-
beZZling the money from time to time In
the last two years.
Bail was not furnished for White until
several hours after the hearing 1t was
said that bail for any amount could be fur
nished for him, but that it was some time
before it was decided whether or not 1t
would be advisable to have him released on
bail for two days, until the grand Jury
meets. The bail was finally furnished by
Oliver 2. Roberts, 22l9 East Baltimore
street. Thomas Moore, ST., and Thomas
Moore, jr., 80 North Chester street; White S
wife, Mrs. Ida White, Halethorpe and
lewis Herpel 1l04 Harlem avenue
Mrs White was with her husband in the
marshars office for some time, and her grief
was distressing. Some of his relatives were
also with him. 1t was said that White
made the mistake of confessng his fault
to an official. Had he made known his
trouble to his relatives first, it is said, the
shortage could have easily been made good
and the trouble might have been averted.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Washington had several pleasant fairs
and exhibitions during the twelve months.
Standing foremost was the Masonic May
festival, planned by leading business men
of the city for the benefit of the proposed
new Masonic Temple. The latter part of
May marked the beginning Of the festival,
which was held in Convention Hall and
was attended with great success. President
Roosevelt Vice President Fairbanks and
others prominent in the social and official
lif of the capital city aided at the festi-
val.
The automobile show. which began Feb

REAL ESTATE MARKET

The activity in building which marked the
greater portion of the calendar year 1905
continued to be the feature during the early
norton of the last year. BY that time SO
much had been done in the way of adding
to the number of apartments and houses
that builders decided to go slowly until 1t
could be demonstrated whether the exist
ing supply would meet the demand. The re-
suit of this policy, while reducing the
amount Of the total spent in building op-
erations for the year, as compared with
the expenditure the previous year. has been
to keep the market in good condition and
enable the builders of houses and flats to
sell or rent practically ali their offerings.

they declared in favor of the city having

In the course of his short talk Dr. osler
discussed the notable private collections OF
books that have at different periods been
gathered together into libraries by medlcai

said is that Of Thomas Hunter which, by
the terms of his will, was offered to the

continued land so this priceless collection
passed into the hands of the University of

that the university should have the gift If
it should take steps to house 1t properly,
but 1 am not certain that even after the
lapse of all these years this wonderful IL
brary has ever been given an adequate

Catalogues of several famous auction
sales of libraries were distributed among
his auditors, among them being that OF the
sale of Sir Thomas Brownies collection in
1712 This numbered more than 5000
copies of works in most of the languages of
Europe, yet 1t had been gathered together
by a quiet general practitioner in a city of
only about 1900 population. DR.. Osler' s
