Drum Flre and Curtain Fire.

Drum fire" and "curtain fire" are
modern war terms. Drum fire is the
firing of artillery at stated intervals
the resultant noise being described as
like the steady hammeline of great
drum. When the desired effect Of re
ducing the point Of the attack has been
accomplished the guns are elevated to
a higher point and are fired continuous
ly, making a curtain Of fire" to pre-
vent endorsements reaching the point
of attack from the rear and at the same
time allowing the infantry to attack

Railway Firemen Move Offices.

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen have removed Off
cial headquarters from Peoria, H., to
Cleveland, O. The headquarters were
established in Peoria some fifteen years
ago, when the organization was small,
but the business grew until latterly the
brotherhood had to rent the entire
twelfth floor of the Jefferson building,
the largest office building In Peoria.
The move to Cleveland was partly due
to the fact that the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Engineers have their Office
building there costing S1,500,000 and
are closely affiliated with the firemen
and enginemen. The Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen is also located In
Cleveland, and the Order Of Railway
Conductors, now with headquarters at
Cedar Rapids, Ia, is expected to also
remove to Cleveland before very long.

Pierce was taking the oath Of office at
Washington
This Arrangement was carried out to
a dot aad on the day appointed, at a
plantation au one Of the highest hills In
the vicinity of Matanzas, Mr.. King was
made vice president Of the United
