Rome, April 9, via Paris-Political parties favorable to Italy's immediate intervention in the war, comprising democrats, radicals, reforinists, social ists and nationalists, have arranged a great meeting to be held Sunday through out Italy in an endeavor to bring about the participation of the country in the conflict.
 The "Courriere d'Italia," comment ing today on the event, says that it has assumed the character of warn ing to the monarchy, since the Ma tional league, which arranged the meeting, adopted a resolution contain ing this sentence:

The Passing of a Fiddler.

From the Detroit Free Press.
Larry" Ward is dead. He was an
old man. Eightythree years he mad
lived. eleven of them in Ireland and
all the rest of them in Baltimore, Md.
For more than half century no pic
mic, no dance. no gathering of Irish
men and women in or around Baltimore
was quite complete without the pres
ence Of Larry Ward. Even down to
recent months Larry came at the
call of his friends. For Larry" Ward
was a fiddler. Not a yiolinlst-juSt
fiddler of the old school AS an ad
mrer said of him in Baltimore the other
day, "His lifting melodies breathed an
atmosphere of Old Erin itself His
arm never seemed to tire. No one who
ever heard him could call him other
than Larry"
Like many another Larry" Ward
leaves no mark in the political history
of his native of~his adopted land
No great industry lives to perpetuate
his name His fiddle is silent and by
and BY it will join him In the dust.
But Larry Ward did not live in vain,
for he made thousands happy, brought
the sparkle of Joy to unnumbered eyes
9nd the melodies of his fiddle never
harmed a human soul or body There
are those who believe that all the
sounds of earth are preserved in the
atmospheric envelope of the world. If
so. that wonderful museum is richer
for the fiddling of Larry Ward
There are other Larry" Wards, men
who are not seen on national horizons
whose deeds touch only a limited circle,
whose lives leave no startling impress
But without them the world would be
stars as well as great ones to make a
galaxy.

PREVENTING FIRE WASTE
BY USE OF ELECTRICITY
Safety and Economy of Modern Ap-
pliances Will Be Shown Dur
ing Prosperity Week.

Much attention has been given in re-
cent years to preventabIe fire waste
II Is conceded that 10 to so per cent
OF all fires could have been prevented
During Electrical Prosperity week OF
November 29-December 4 the safety
and economy of using electricity in
everyday use will be exhibited and
demonstrated in electric shows in all
the big cities of America
New York suffered an estimated loss
of SS,217,s11 from fires last year. and
Applications of electricity. such as cleo
trio wires, cars, conduits, insulations-
eVerything-is only S250,13O, or only
about per cent of the total loss. This
record proves that there is very little
danger of burning ones self or setting
fire to anything where electricity is
used.
Only 1 per cent of fires in Boston in
recent years were charged to electrici-
ty. In Louisville, KY. city of aver
age fire risk, out of 200 fires during a
period of five months only two, or
per cent, were caused by electricity.
and those two were of minor nature.
Usually it can be shown that in any
fire caused by electricity some rule
was violated.
Electrical appliances used in the
home seldom are the causes of fire.
There is no more danger of shock in
operating these ' appliances than in
turning the lights on and off.

SOLVES BAGGAGE PROBLEM.
Railroads Also Save Large Amounts
BY Using Electric Carriers.

Streams of perspirng men hauling
hand trucks piled high with baggage
once blocked the platforms of the sta
tions. The electric baggage carrier has
solved the problem of the old baggage
smasher-' 1t does the work that for
merly required four times as much Ia
Dor and twice as many men.
a recent traffic report shows the
electric truck has saved the railroads
66 per cent in the cost of transferring
baggage and freight. Under the old
method of hand truck operation the
cost per ton of handling freight at
railroad terminals and steamship piers
was 25 cents. while the cost per ton for
performing the same work with cleo
trically propelled baggage trucks is
but l0la cents.
The rontroller in these modern trucks
is snclosed. and automatic cutoff
switch minimzes accidents. One han
die is used as controller lever and
the other handle for steering. When
the operator removes his foot from
the brake pedal the cutoff switch cuts
off the power.

BUT SMALL SPACE NEEDED.
Miss Ina thinner Designs an At
tractive Electric Kitchepette.

Imagine a kitchenette ten feet long
and twenty-six inches deep, fitted with
an electric dishwasher. washing ma
chine, irons. small electric stove, with
oven: vacuum cleaner. ice cream freezer
and sanitary garbage can!
This electrical kitchenette, designed
by Miss Ina thinner, was exhibited fol
the first time at the New York elec-
~trical show. 1t offers a suggestion tc
architects of modern apartments. Miss
thinner aims to illustrate how space
usually occupied by two stationary
tubs and sink, may be electrically
utilized.
The lower part of a white enamel
pantry is fitted up as an electrical re-
frigerator. Here may be kept all the
good things-the cold bird, the butter
eggs and milk. Above. in the pantry
-four. sugar. spices, cereals and glass
dishes are stored.
On shelves various utensils are kept
when not in use, such as the electric
coffee percolator, the tea samovar, cleo
trio chafing dish and toaster When
the dishes are washed the curtains are
drawn completely concealing the
kitchenette from view.

ELECTRIC RADIATORS OF
VALUE IN THE HOME

In every home-no matter whether
heated by hot water, steam, hot air or
coal stoves-there are mornings when
the bathroom is frigid and the nursery
thermometer Is away down round the
so mark. Those are the mornings when
an electric radiator means comfort and
protection.
There are few houses without their
chronic cold corners and rooms where
at times it is almost impossible to get
any warmth. SO long as the wind blows
the wrong way.
The electric radiator consists of big
tubular glowing electric lamps mount
ed in metal radiator. 1t is light to
carry and can be used anywhere in the
house 1t is turned on and off with a
twist of switch, and it is always
ready with strong, ruddy, healthful
heat. 1t keeps a room warm without
consuming any of the oxygen or TAX
ing the life" out of the air.

USE OF ELECTR|CS
ON COUNTRY ROADS
Vanishing Notion That They
Are Adapted Only to
City Streets.
RUNS OUT OF CAPITAL
ARE CITED AS MODELS
Have Shown, It Is Declared, Posi-
bility of Wider Use of
Vehicles.

hen We hear repeatedly of the
many successful tests made of the en-
durance and country-runninS ability of
electric vehicles by various manufac-
turers we must conclude definitely that
the use of an electric is no longer con-
fined only to city streets and houle-
wards. says A. jackson Marshall. sec
retary of the Electric Vehicle Associ-
alton of America.
I'VE have so long been accustomed to
thinking Of the electric as a town car
to us that it will give just as delightful
and satisfactory service on rural trips
in this day. when charging facilities
have become so well developed and nu-
merous. While it will always remain
the favorite car for city use, the cleo
trio in time will become just as great
a favorite for interurban trips and
short tours. 1t is matter of educating
the owners of electricS to operate their
wider and more general use of them
Such series of runs as one company
carried on not long ago in Detroit
when one of their stock model brough-
ans made as much as liz miles on
single battery charge, and the recent
endurance runs conducted by another
electric company, when the car regis
tered more than 1.5n0 miles in fourteen
DAYS show that there should be no
doubts about the eleCtric's ability to
cover ground. The solution of the
problem of getting electric owners to
use their cars more extensively lies IN
the sociability run.

Royal Trinkets. !
III Mall Gazette

From the Fall Mall Gazette.
Queen Victoria. whose wedding shoes
are advertised for sale. was herself a
keen collector of historical relics. At a
sale held in November, 1899. she com
missioned a well known dealer to Sc
cure for her a walking stick, carved to
represent Wisdom and Folly" once the
property of Prince Charles Edward.
The royal agent had carte blanche, and
the stick was knocked down to him for
ESQ.
This was monstrous price when we
consider that shortly before the Young
Pretender's dirk, with f1int-lock pistol
grip and all, went for EST 16s. At the
the great Rob Roy's claymore. made by
Andrea Ferrara, with It's shark s-skin
grip and all, went for G37 16c. At the

some twenty years ago, a number of
most interesting exhibits came from
Queen Victoria's collection.

Taking No Chances.
From Tit-Bits.

Owing to the shallowness of a GER
tain harbor in the north, the ships
trading to and from it have to be built
with light draught. Commenting on
this fact one day, a facetious individ-
ual remarked to the skipper Of a
steamer:
Il reckon, captain, you would think
nothing of running your ship across
a meadow on a dewy night?"
Nothing at all, came the reply;
though to make sure, l might send a

Suggestions for Runs.

THE following suggestions for con-
Quoting runs are based on the expe-
riences that several sections of the
Electric Vehicle Association have had
in successfully organizing them, espe-
eially the Washington section, whose
runs have met with great popularity
and success. In cities where the as
sociation has section II has not been
found necessary to have a special com
rnittee to handle the work, the run be-
ing managed by members Of the main
executive committee-those mem bers
who are car dealers taking the most ac-
tive part. The preliminary work to be
done is divided up and consists in max
ing provision for the following: PEN
nants, badges for committees, prizes,
refreshments and the selection of the
route. The entries are made by indi-
yidual owners, no dealer being allowed
to enter his car in competition.
ITO cover the expenses Of the run, an
entry fee is cfarged-$1 for cars car

Idea Not a New One.

"There is nothing new about the idea
It has been tried sporadicalIy for a
number of years, but the time has come
for more systematic and continuous
effort to introduce il into all parts of
the country. The problem of organiz-
ing such runs in cities where the num-
ber of electrics warrant such a per-
formance is being met and solved by
various sections of the Electric Vehicle
Association of America
In emphasizing the sociabillty runs
the writer does not mean to recon-
mend stunts in the nature of mileage
test runs, speed contests and the long
cross-country tours. These are all va
riatons of the sociability run. and
have this advertising value, but are
not so educational as where the own
ers themselves take part When the
owners of electrics and their friends
participate they not only learn of the
advantages and capabilities of the
electric but they also familiarlZe them
selves with traffic regulations while
passing through town and city streets
on their way 10 the country districts.
"In view of Electrical Prosperity
week scheduled for November 90 to
December 4. the Electric Vehicle Asso-
citation of America has gathered to-
gether various data how to organ
lie and conduct sociability runs. 1t is
the firm conviction of the association
that the introduction of such runs is
the very best way to educate the public
in the country-running ability of the
electric and dispel the idea that it is
necessarily a car for city streets only.
II is hoped that many runs of this ma
ture Will be organized during Elec-
trical Prosperity week, and that the re-
suits will be far-reaching in breaking
down existing prejudice.
