HEATING A DWELLING HOUSE

The heating of a dwelling has al
ways been an important considera-
ton. Since the earliest times, when
savage man crouched around a fire
of sticks made upon the ground, UP
to the present, much thought has
been given to the subject, and con-
stant improvements are being made
in heating appliances. The fire upon
the ground came first: then its con-
finement in some shapes as in the open
fire place. Various peoples have used
a sort of fireplace, or firepit with hor-
der stone or earthen floors to the up
take chimney, as a means of heating
the different rooms of the building.
The open fireplace is used at the
ings. from the humble cabin to the
palace After the firepiaces came
stoves, stove being used to hea,
one or more rooms.
The next step. naturally. is the
modern hot air furnace. which con-
sists of stove. or fire basket. in
closed in an iron casing from which
sheet iron pipes are led to the rooms
IF the house, delivering heated air to
zach room. This is very satisfac-
ory arrangement, as the fresh out
ioor air is taken in and heated at the
furnace and passed on to the rooms.
his arrangement is more expensive
install than stoves, but is far more
,onvenient, 1t is particularly well
,dapted to small dwellings.
Perhaps the next in order. as far
Us cost is concerned, is the steam
liant, which consists of boiler in
which steam is generated and sent
through distributing pipes to radia-
ors or steam holders located at ad
ambiguous points in the building,
rhis system is used in some dwell
md public buildings. 1t is more ex
oensive to install than hot air
plant.
The hot water system for dwell
ings is. in most localities, the best
system to use. II is gravity system,
mans of which water heated in a
boiler is made by gravity to complete
a circuit through suitable pipes and
radiators properly located in rooms
and Railways, 1t is about the same
in cost as steam heating system
usually, however, little higher.
The Plenum system is one which
takes heated air, and. by means of n
| fen, forces 1t through sheet iron pipes
ITO the rooms to be heated. An en-
| yine or motor of some kind is re-
| quired and the system is used chiefly
l large buildings.

REPUBLICANS WILL
FIGHT FOR JOBS

Whether the next city assessor to
be appointed by Mayor Thompson be
John c. Nagel or Edward Keusch, he
will be indicted into a fight as soon
as he takes the seat to be vacated by
Assessor Marschner. There Is a horde
of applicants for clerkships and the
Republicans are ready to put up a
fight TO retain fair representation.
Il do not expect that all the present
clerks will be retained" says Assessor
Henry Plass. who will be the Repub-
lican member OF the board. There
has always been minority and major
ity representation. We have kept a
number OF Democrats In the office,
some of them in good places, while
the board was Republican. and now
We want to keep fair share OF Re-
publicans and TO have some sort OF
test that will guarantee that the Demo-
Gratis to be appointed will be compe-
tent and able men"
Assessor Henry Doran is disposed
to stand up for the right OF the Demo.
cratic majority to make such changes
as may be deemed fitting. The Dem
ocrats have looked up the law and be-
lleve that Corporation Counsel TarS-
new was wrong when he gave his
opinion that the council may supervise
the assessors appointments.

nesday morning, by the argument of
attorneys to settle the dispute as 10
the right of Judge Lockwood TO hear
the case, some of the questions in
volved in which are pending In pro-
bate court. After the opposing law
yers had quoted at length from the
authorities and statutes, Judge Lock

and ordered the case continued
Marcel +. Hude. the plaintiff, was
on the stand all Wednesday morning
Most OF the time was taken up with
the witness explanation OF the trans
action In relation to the Washington
ave. properly. which has already beer
pointed to as one OF the alleged evi
dences OF Mr. Tarsney's mismanage
ment Of the estate
Hude said that shortly after his
mother died Mr.. Tarsney asked him
what he knew about the property at
No. II Westinghouse, and he re
piled that he supposed that 1t went to
his step-father. He then learned for
the FIRST time that his mother left a
paper giving him one-fourth interest
In the property, and he says Mr. Tars-
ney told him TO consult w. G. Fitzpat-
rick, his law partner The step-father
contested the claim, and II was agreed
that Mr.. Fitzpatrick was to commence
action TO get possession. and the at.
torney was TO get one-half of the claim
as his share for conducting the case
Mr.. Fitzpatrick was successful, but
instead OF settling as per agreement,
new arrangement was made, and the
case was settled for $500 OF this
amount Hude testified Fitzpatrick
kept $4,000. or the $4,000 balance
Hude said he received only $500. and
the balance went to pay his debts and
TO reimburse the estate for money ad
yanced to him faster than IL was due
He claimed that he had been advanc.
ed $4,000 before II was due. Mr.. Hude
testified that the Westinghouse
property was assessed for ISL 900.
In speaking OF the advances the
witness said that part of the money
had been paid TO Mr.. Fitzpatrick as
