 Ten children answered the roll on the first day, but before the week end. ed this number had been increased to twenty. Some of them have attended other schools, but others never had been within the walls of an institution of that kind. Many of the children showed signs of consumption; others have parents who have had that dis ease: others have tuberculosis of the bones. One has heart trouble.
 A record of the condition of the chil- dren is taken from time to time, and such suggestions as the doctors may think necessary for the improv ement of their health are carried out by the teachers.
 The schoolroom is on the second floor of the building. The south side of the room. facing on Meeting street. is wide open to allow sunshine and fresh air to enter. Five swinging win dows are caught up by means of a rope and pulleys aud can be lowered in case of rain or snow. They are so adjusted that, while fresh air Is all ways circulating through the room there Is at no time a draft.
 The furniture in the room is of the same kind as is used in the other pub lie school buildings. The room is heat ed by big round stove in the center.
 In order that as much protection as possible may be given the children they are allowed to wear their coats and hats while in the schoOlroom.

THE MAXIM GUN.
Curious Origin of This Terrible Engine
 of Destruction

The origin of the Maxim gun was somewhat curious. Mir. Maxim (Sir Hiram) after the close of the great civil war in America was visiting one of the southern battlefelds. He picked up a Springfield rife and began firing at target. He soon discovered, to his amazement, that his shoulder was all black and blue with the recoil. This set him thinking, and he soon con ceived the idea of utilizing this force in a gun which would fire automatic ally.
 He went to London full of his idea, but no one would listen to him. In Birmingham the chief man in q fac tory refused to make bolt gun.
 In despair Mir. Maxim packed up his trunks and went to Paris. In two weeks the work was done. This gun Mir. Maxim exhibited in London in 1885. He spoke of 1t then as the gun of the future. It is now the gun of the present. It is a wonderful gun and a deadly one. By adjusting the indica- tor it will fire bullets at any rate from one per minute to 6D0.
 This terrible weapon is started by the firing of the first shot After that it works itself and will keep going as long as cartridges can he fed into the machine. When one belt of 333 is ex- hausted, all that is necessary is to hook on another.
 When the British government gave an order for the gun they stipulated that it should not weigh more than a hundred pounds and should be capable of firing a thousand rounds in four minutes. MT. Maxim produced a gun which weighed thirty-five pounds and fired 1000 rounds in three minutes St Louis Post-Dispatch.

FRESH AIR SCHOOL,
Marked Success of First One Es-
 tabIished In United States.
WINDOWS KEPT WIDE OPEN.
Nearly All of Twenty Pupils Studying at Providence Showed Signs of Tu- bereulosis or Had consumptive Par. ents-Warm Cotton Bags For Legs.


 While the thermometer lowered in the vicinity of zero a few days ago twenty girls and boys. pupils of the first fresh air school in the United States, sat snugly and warmly wrap ped in their cotton bags in the old Meeting street school at Providence, +. l. They apparently were as com fOrtable as the thousands of pupils in the other schools in the city despite the fact that the temperature maintain ed in the room was at no time above 4J degrees.
 The public school authorities are en- thusiastic over the success that the fresh air school has achieved in a few weeks existence. At meeting of the school board Superintendent Small re- ported that he was more than pleased with the outlook and expressed the opinion that the fresh air school will be one of the most beneficial public in- stitutions Providence ever has had.
 Already. he said. the children. living practically all day in the cool. fresh air. are beginning 10 show signs of i'm provement Little faces that were sallOw and pinched a few weeks ago have a healthy flush. and children who were too tired to play are beginning to show some interest in life.

 The school was founded at the insti- gatiOn of the League For the Suppress sion of Tuberculosis. and it is primari- y intended not ys7Iy to fight the spread of the white plague. but also to teach the children the value of fresh air as a health producer and destroyer of the germs of disease.

Against McNab Until Vic
tory or Defeat

IF you feel that you can't vote the
democratic ticket, for Gods sake go
and enlist under-the banner raised by
the courageous men of the Lincoln

This advice was given to the voters
of the thirty ninth assembly district
last night by Theodore A. Bell at a
auspices of the San Francisco demo-
cratic club.
1t was Bells first appearance in pub
lie since his return from the Denver
convention and he was received with
great enthusiasm He announced that
it was his intention to move his family
from Napa and to make this city his
home. and also that he would cast his
fortunes with the anti McNab organiza-
tion of democrats and go to victory or
defeat with it.
California is not the worst governed
state in the union" Bell declared. 1T
is but a fair example of the infamous
political conditions that obtain through
out the country. We see William f.
Herrin, through his railroad political
bureau, dominating two branches of the
government and corrupting the third.

democrat maintains his control of the

necessity of getting the union labor

LABOR PARTY's OBJECTS
The labor party was organized to
punish those who mismanaged the dem
ocratic party Mahoney declared, and
went on to show that the San Francisco
democratic club was winning back the
confidence OF unionism.
John w. Sweeney, president Of the
San Francisco labor council, declared
that the good political elements OF this
