MAGAZINE REVIEW.
Remarkable New Locomotive Firebox.


During the past ten years constructors
Of locomotives have made vain endeayors
to find some better construction to re-
place copper fire boxes, which are not
only costly to maintain, but the walls Of
which have TO b sustained by hundreds
Of bolts and stays.
Mr.. Brotan, inspector and superinten-
dent Of the workshops of the Royal and
Imperial Austrian State railway, at
Gmund, has now invented water tube
fire box which has been in use for some
time, with the very best results.
Upright seamless steel tubes, arranged
in rows, with their ends rolled into a
east.steeI pipe, form the boundary at
the sides and rear of the rectangular
combustion chamber, from which the
gases Of combustion pass forward
through the iron tube plate into the
fire tubes Of the boiler. In order that
the foremost water tube may adapt
itself to the curvature of the tube plate,
the lateral wall tubes are bent SO as to
correspond to the circumference of the
fire tube boiler. To the rearmost lateral
wall tubes there are connected the
rear wall pipes, which are arranged close
together in coneentric curves and encircle
the fire door. The space under the fire
door and tube plate is lined with fire
clay. The upper tube ends are rolled
from below radially into the rear por-
ton of the steam collector of a second
boiler lying above the fire tube boiler,
and projecting towards the rear, this
second boiler carries the steam dome, and
II connected to the fire tube boiler by
means of three stays.-T Technical World

New York, Aug. 15.---Coney Island is
preparing for a general invasion of Eng

falling sensations, was tried not long
ago on the merry making public at
Blaekpool in England.
It was popular and as the Britishers
have no loop-the.loops or other like
amusement devices at the popular re-
sorts near London, the idea was con
ceived OF importing some Of these aids

GATES BEGINS
 REVIVAL SERVICE
s''S 'foWd Greeted the Baptist Col tc@es Financial Secretary at the Ohio Street Baptist
 Church Last Night.

Reverend l. F. Gates. iiuanc!a! secretary of the 0uaehi5a Central Baptist colleges, began a i've weeks revival service at the Q&io Strae: Baptist church last niaht and preached to a large gathering of Interested persons. it was Rev erend Gates initial appearance in Pine Bluff last night and when he had finished his sermon it was clearly shown that he was a prac- tical man and breaches practical religion.
 For his text Reverend Gates read from the Psalms of David, and so we'll did he picture the varied emotions of that great man of God, who sometimes fell before temptation, became discouraged and suffered remorse like men of our own time, that profound imnras- sion was made up his hearers. Is the speaker went on to show how David, disappointed in his own ef- forts to find relief from the re- morse that would not leave him. at last turned to God and cried out for a safe refuge and for peace of soul, every one in the congregation realized that this practical preacher was simply picturing to them their own emotions and giving them an opportunity to profit by David's ex- perience.
 It is this practical sort of preach ing that usually leads men and women into practical religion, for when a man can be made to un- derstand that a merciful Creator will bend very low to hear the cry of one of his creatures and will deal with him much as a loving parent would deal with penitent child It is then that salvation is made easy for mankind.
 The meetings will continue each morning at 9:30 to 1O:30 o'clock and evening service at 7:43. Every one is cordially invited

 ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
Miss Dotsie Cooper Feared Scolding of Parent and Tried to End Her Life iM Little ROck-Br0th-
 CTS Statement,

Miss Dotsie Cooper of 1610 State street, Little Rock, swallowed part of the contents of bottle of some kind of acid in the Elk building about !, 9 o'clock yesterday morning in that city. The young lady had arrived from Pine Bluff an hour earlier and called on her sister, who is employed as stenographer for the Arkansas Democrat Lithographing and Print ing Company. She went into rear room where shortly afterward her sis ter found her unconscious. Medical aid was summoned and she was re- moved to the Physicians and Sur geons' Hospital, where last night she was said to be in a fair way toward recovery.
 The young lady is only 16 years old and is a pupil at the High school She bears an excellent reputation and { if she attempted to take her own life the only possible reason assigned by her friends was the fear of the re- proof of her father for absenting her self from school against his wishes.
 Rand Cooper. a brother of the young lady, made the following statement last night:
 My sister, although large for her age, is merely child, barely 16 years old. There has been no family trou ble whatever. She came to Pine Bluff to visit me last Friday, and I put her on the train to return home yester- day morning. She was in good: spirits then. The facts are that for two or three weeks she has remained away |sfstuassseiioolsss My f4tiitief feaaauar- terseare in Hot Springs and he dbmes hnnes only, 'oh Sundays. He deeided to Nome up yesterday to see. that she started to school agaln!s Like a 4hild, when she heard of his coming she was afraid he would scold her and sd did this unwise act without realizing the awful consequences. My fatherss has never been harsh with. her andS had all a fathers devotion toward her. and she had no cause to fear anything at This hands beyond perhaps a fathers reprimand at the worst, but, knowing she had opposed his wishes in re- maining away from school, she feared
 to meet him.

consideration of local bills, but pre- vious to adjournment this afternoon, the vote by which the night session was ordered was reeonsidered and the resolution providing for the ses- sion was laid on the table When the Iresolution was first introduced this morning a motion to lay it on the ta- ble was made but failed to carry. There have been no night sessious held uD to the present time but it is possible that some will be found necessary to dispose of the great num- Der of local bills that are pending.
 F0rty-seven counties were exempted this morning from the provisions of the Roby bill, which provids a fine and imprisonment for laborers who secure money and provisions in ad- vance in return for labor to be per- formed and then fail to carry out their contracts. The passage of the bill has been demanded by the representa- tives of the counties where the negro es comprise the great part of the la borers, but it was opposed by other members on the ground that it would virtually provide for imprisonment for debt. When the bill came up this morning amendments were offered eX- empting various counties until the to- tal number exempted reached forty seven. The bill was then made a spe- cial order for Wednes<y.
 Divorce Bill Amended.
 The bill introduced in the house making insanity a ground for divorce was amended this morning to provide that when the defendant is an inmate of the Arkansas Hospital for Nervous Diseases the plaintiff shall file Ger tificate showing that the defendant is incurably insane.

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP
(By Staff Correspondent.)

Little Rock, Ark, March 1.-The senate this morning Killed the bill which was introduced by Senator Carlock, by request, throwing the en- tire state into one district in the vote on the license question, and provid- ing that if the majority of the voters in the state should vote against li- cense no saloons should be licensed at any point in the state. The bill was killed by the decisive vote of IS to 5.
 Under this bill the entire state might be made prohibition. but it could not all go for license unless the majority in each county should be for license. Ii the majority of the entire state should be for license, then the present local option system should continue to prevail in the several counties. An unfavorable report on the measure was made by the commit tee this morning, and when the bill xxame up this morning, there was no Undermined fight to secure it's passage. Nhe bill was not backed by the united temperance element, many of the pro hibition advocates taking the stand that conditions in this state were not ripe for such legislation. Senator Carlock, who introduced the bill. eX- plained that he did so by request, az while he voted for the measure he did not make fight for it's passage.
 Change of Venue Right.
 Senator Oldham of Pulaski county introduced bill ill the senate this morning which provides that in suit brought against any corporation with capital stock of $1o0,000 or more. the plaintiff shall have the right to 2 change of venue upon filing an affi- davit stating that he cannot, as ne believes, have a fair trial in the coun- ty where the suit originates.
 For Payment of Notes.
 The committee on ways and means introduced bill in the house this afternoon providing for the payment of the Governor Jones notes, which are shown in every report of the state treasurer, and which are not understood by most persons reading tnese reports. The notes are for an a!gregate of about $1O0,O0O and were executed to the Internal Improvement Fund and to the Swamp Land Fund by Governor Dan w. Jones to secure the payment of money borrowed from those funds by the state. The notes represent the transfer of that amount from one fund of the state to another but they appear in the reports as the Governor Jones notes and are s6dom understood The bill introduced today directs the state debt board to redeem these notes and burn them.
 4 Pope County Measure.
 The house spent almost the entire afternoon discussing the bill providing for the departation of Pope county into two judicial districts, the county seat of the new district to be at Alt kins. The bill failed to pass by the close vote of 32 to B and it was finally killed by the adoption of motion to reconsider the vote and lay that motion on the table.
