DOG SAVES BOYS LIFE.
Drass His Young Master from
Death Under Trolley Car.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Mar. GA large
shepherd dog late tonight saved the life
of Bernard Lange, aged eight, who was
struck by Glendale street car in front
of his home on the Springfield pike in
Park place. The animal saw the ap-
preaching car, and failing in his at
tempts to warn the lad of the danger,
grabbed him by the coat tail and pulled
him from the tracks. The fender, how
ever, struck the boy on the back of the
head, and he received slight injuries.
The car was coming at top speed, but
the lad, who was playfully tossing stones
at his pet. did not perceive the danger.
Motorman Barrows, who was in charge
of the car set the brakes in a frenzied
effort to check the speed of the car, but
it had gained such Roadway that it could
not be stopped in time. At the risk OF
being ground to death under the cal
wheels, the animal chung to its young
master and managed to drag him to the
side of the rails just as the car dashed by.

In the passing away of George Bene-
dict, Vermont has lost one of that class
of men, unfortunately, all too few in
number-a gentleman of the truest type,
fearless, painstaking, generous, progress
sive and refined. The energy of his
later years in carrying out the high
ideals of his paper, the Free Press; the
calm foresight that enabled him to select
those to aid him in his work that would
be his fitting successors; his active in
terest in everything that concerned the
substantial improvement of his loved
State, all showed him to be a man that
the State can ill afford to lose. His life
and his work will not soon be forgotten.

INVENTOR DAZED BY FAME
CobbIer-SeientIst Who Converts
Ashes into Fuel Delayed with
Letters

Letters.
Altoona Dispatch to Philadelphia North
American.
Deluged with letters from far and near,
harassed by importunate promoters who
would give advice as to the proper way
Of exploiting his discovery. besieged by
newspaper men and neighbors, and in
numberable other inconvenience, are the
concomitants of newly acquired fame
that have nearly distracted Cobbler John
Gilmore, who believes that he has solved
the problem of converting ashes into
heat-producing fuel
Gilmore, retiring and unassuming finds
the new conditions anything but con-
genial. He pines for the humdrum life
of his little cobbler shop, where for years
he dreamed over the problem, the solu-
ton of which has brought him fame, and
maybap, great riches.
Since the news of the discovery was
given to the world, Gilmore has given
many practical demonstrations, and those
who have witnessed them are convinced
that he has secret that will completely
revolutionize industry, make the lot of
humanity immeasurably brighter, not to
mention warmer, and save millions of
dollars annually in the cost of fuel.
To newspaper men today the aged cob
pier talked of his discovery as though it
was an every day occurrence. But not
hint would he drop as to the nature of
the ingredients that entered into the COM
: pound that transformed worthless ashes
into highly combustible fuel.
Demonstrating the process, Gilmore
took from bottle about teaspoonful of
brownish stuff, much resembling sand.
This he tossed into bucket containing
about two gallons of water. Sprinkling
the water over the ashes, he declared
that they were ready for the stove.
In his shop is small egg stove, and a
slow coal fire was burning, and when he
put couple of shovels of prepared ashes
on the Goals flames leaped high, as though
a highly explosive oil had been thrown
upon tne IRE. In moment or TWO the
fire settled to a steady glow, and con-
tinCed thus for over an hour. The stove
was red-hot in a few minutes.
One of the strange features of the prep
aration is that after the ashes are used
they become hard, resembling coke. ELL
more extracted shovelful from the
stove and when it had cooled it was as
hard as iron, darker than coke, and much
resembling it in nature. He then threw
it back into the stove, where it was con-
sumed.
DIR. ii. K. Hoy, an Altoona physician
who has rendered assistance to Gilmore in
perfecting his formula, gave a demon
stration at his home today that con.
WINGED skeptics that there is merit in the
discovery. Hoy claims that he cut his
coal bill in half last winter by using the
compound, which Gilmore had given him
to experiment with
Gilmore hardly knows what to do with
his discovery. Inquiries are pouring in
upon him, offering assistance in getting
his patent upon the market, but the cob
bier is so dazed by the sudden change
of fortune that he has not the slightest
idea of his future movements.

SPARROW HAS WHOLE CAR,
Builds Nest and Home is Side
tracked Until Fledglings Leave.
Special to the Washington Post.

Muskegon, Mich, Mar. 24.-Because a
Muskegon sparrow chose to build her
nest in the shelter of Pere Marquette
box car while it was at the north yards
for repairs, the car. almost priceless be-
cause of the car shortage, stands idle on
Saginaw side track, awaiting the time
when the four young sparrows shall
leave their home.
The order came today from Saginaw
in pursuance to the petition of five con-
ductors on the line who had the car in
their charge during the last week. When
the car left the repair tracks about a
week ago. Conductor Stark, of Muske-
gon, was told of the sparrow family So
Mr.. Stark kept watch. When the train
reached Fremont he found the mother
sparrow perched on top Of the car. She
had followed the train from Muskegon.
Every sparrow reported the sparrow
to the conductor next in charge of the
car and every one found that the mother
sparrow kept with the family.
But it was a tedious and dangerous
life for the mother and the four little
ones in moving box car So five con.
ductors combined in writing a letter tc
the division headquarters at Saginaw
asking that the sparrow car be side
tracked until the young birds are old
enough to leave the nest.

should always be the signal for the
