Powerful Fire Boats.

The new fire boats James Duane and
Thomas Willett, built for the New
York fire department, enjoy the double
distinction Of being the largest boats
used for this purpose and the first
boats of this character fitted with tur-
bine driven pumps. They have deck
length of 131 feet, beam 81 feet and
depth of IA feet. On high steel
water tower aft, on the two deck
turrets and above the pilot house,
four three-inch nOzzles are mounted
from which total of 1900 gallons Of
water per minute can be thrown while
the boat is moving at full speed.

the effect is likely to be the same. He
SHES, he rears, breaks his harness and
throws the occupants, the carriage and
himself into the ditch. The horse can
not see in front of him, only to the
right or left.
A California man thinks the safest
plan is to let him see nothing at all. He
suggests inclosing the eyes in the novel
bride blind shown herewith, which
he recently patented. A pair of blinds
are attached to the bride. Normally
these blinds remain open. When the
driver sees an approaching automobile
he pulls on a strap which extends to
the drivers seat, and the blinds are
folded over the horses eyes, complete
ly obscuring his vision. The danger of
the horse becoming frightened and run
ming away is thus reduced to a mini
mum and the occupants assured of
safety.

ORANGES AS A MEDICINE.
Their Value In the Treatment Of Many
Diseases Now Recognized.


People are coming round more and
more to the true opinion that mineral
drugs don't aid, but, rather, retard re-
covery In case of sickness and that
the only true medicine is to be found
In those that nature supplies sc freely
air, water and food
Foremost in value as medicinal foods
are fresh fruits, and none Of these
rank higher than oranges. Oranges
are very rich in organic salts. They
contain a high amount of potassium,
calcium and sulphur, surprising both
cows and human milk in this respect
No other fruit has such a high per-
centage of sulphur. Orange juice con-
tains on an average liz per mile
acid, which accounts for the high
amount of potash and lime which are
necessary for the formation Of natural
fruit acids. Pure orange juice is an
ideal remedy for scrofula, ricketts,,
nervousness and especially blood dis
eases principally scurvy). 1t is most
valuable for the reduction of uric acid
and other waste matter in the system,
and therefore both a preventive and
curative food for rheumatism and
govt Consumptive and anaemic peo-
pie will also be greatly benefited by a
diet of oranges on account Of the high
percentage of blood building salts they
contain.
Lemons have the largest amount of
magnesium lime of all the fruits They
show the greatest acidity-73 per mile.
Their juice Is excellent for the prep
aration of both fruit and vegetable
salads and should altogether replace
vinegar, which is worse than alcohol,
by depriving the blood of its important
organic salts. Its medicinal qualities
are highly appreciated in the cure of
uric acid diseases.

BOOM IN ROCK. ISLAND.
1t Follows a Report That Hartman
Is Getting Into 1t.

New York, Dec. Furious specula-
tion in Rock Island preferred stocks
was precipitated in the stock market
today by rumors that important
plan had been perfected for financing
the needs of the st. Louis & San Fran
cisco, a. subsidiary company. The fact
that this transaction was attributed to
the banking house which usually acts
for the Union Pacific gave rise to the
implication that the Hartman and
Rock Island interests We're combining
into closer Affiliations. At the same
time reports were sent from the west
that new projects were being formed
for different organization of the
Gould system Of properties. These
rumors were without official sanction
and were presented in indefinite form,
but they served to awaken great ami
nation in the speculative dealings.
Rock Island preferred was rushed 3A
on top of yesterdays Az points gain.
The record of transactions in this stock
came out on the tape in a string. 1000
share blocks and upward, making up
the bulk of the record. The movement
was feverish and violent. Other stocks
in the Rock Island group and the
members of the Gould group advanced
in sympathy one to three points. Else
where the dealings were on a moderate
scale and the upward movement some
what restrained owing to fears of an
unfavorable effect from the unbridled
speculation thus centered on a limited
group. Before the first hour was over
the general list suffered a sharp fall
which put prices well below last nights
level.
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. said today that
the financing of the St. Louis & San
Francisco had been under considera-
ton by them, but that recently the
company informed them they wished
to dispose of their per cent general
lien bonds to others, and Kuhn, Loeb
& Co.'S connection with the operation
ceased.

Government Expenses Continue to
Outrun the Receipts.

Washington; Dec. 2.-Although q the
government receipts from customs in
ternal revenue and other sources con-
tinue to show gratifying increases over
last year, the increases in expenditures
are materially greater. For the month
of November, 1908, the receipts were
S48, ,O02, $50, as against $45, 529, 1926 for No
vember last year, an increase of $780,
600.
The expenditures for the month are
shown to have aggregated $57, 1888, 1873, as
against $42, ,362, ,Z08 for November, 1907, an
increase of SIS, SOC, 900. Taking the last
seven months as a basis of calculation
the deficit for the present fiscal year
will probably be from $112,000,000 to
$115, ,000,0 ,000
Customs receipts received last month
aggregated nearly $23, ,000, 900 as against
So, 900 900 for November, 1907, the first
of the panic months.
Internal revenue also shows a gain of
about 81 SOC, 900. Miscellaneous receipts
fell off about 81, 100000.
During the month the civil and mis-
cellaneous expenses increased million.
The war item increased $4 900 and
the navy item increased about 81 SOC, 900.
Pensions increased nearly $27, 900, 900 and
the expenditures on account of the
Panama canal and other public works
increased So, ,400,O 900.
The deficit for the month of Novem-
her is shown to be $10,000,000 and for

Alexis Is in Danger.
Port Au Prince, Dec. 2.-If Nord
Alexis persists in his determination n
not to leave the capital while he still
has the chance. he will be in grave
danger at the hands of the people.
Minister Canal is doing everything
possible to maintain order. The
guards on the streets have been in
creased, but it is with great difficulty
that the populace is being restrained.
Already the people are beginning to
pillage the central market and rlhe
firing is heard from that section as
the market who tried to protect his
stall from the looters was killed. Cen
erdI Marcelin is at present on board
the Duguay Torin. He first took
refuge at the French consulate, but
once there he made a pathetic appeal
to send him on board the French
cruiser. Believing that the man really
was in danger, Mr.. Carteron consented.
General Marcelin is one of the most
able of the Haytien ministers. who
during the last six years have had the
control of the public finances in their
hands. The government at one time
announced its intention of bringing
about a separation of church and
state in Hayti. Marcelin, however,
opposed any direct adoption of such
measure, arguing that the better way
would be to cease paying the priests
their salaries, which would soon force
them to leave the country. Following
this suggestion, the priests of Hayti,
for the past two years, have received
their salaries only in the form of
promissory notes. which they were
obliged to discount al real loss. These
notes were brought up by agents said
to be working for the government and
they were subsequently redeemed at
their full value. General Canal is
urging the people to remain calm, ex-
planning that if there is any serious
on shore the cruisers in the
harbor will disembark armed forces
to protect the property of foreigners.

TO HEAR FROM TAFT.
American Mining Congress Is Prom
iSed a Message.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 2.-The eleventh
annual convention of the American
Mining congress convened here today
in the Carnegie Music hall, north side,
is expected to be one of the most i'm
portant ever held by the congress. 1t
is estimated that about 1000 delegates,
representing every state in the Union,
are in attendance. The convention will
continue until Saturday night. In addi-
tion to the many we'll known mining
men present there are governors of 16
states, senators, congressman and men
of prominence in business.
President-elect Taft has found it i'm
possible to attend the meeting but has
notified the congress that he will send
a message to the convention making
clear his views on the relation of the
government to the mining industry.
The message is awaited with much in
terest in view of the fact that federal
legislation of vital Importance to the
mining industry generally and coal
mining in particular is contemplated
during the coming session of congress.
The convention was called to order
by J. H Richards of Idaho president
of the American Mining congress. Ad-
dresses of welcome We're made by Lee
s. Smith president of the Pittsburg
chamber of commerce; con gresham
James Francis Burke of Pittsburg,
and Lieutenant Governor Murphy of
Pennsylvania. President Richards re-
sponded and his address was followed
by five minute speeches by delegates
from all parts of the country.
