London, Jan. 3-Peter Mcclure, sometime of San Francisco. now of the United States Navy, Imperilled lis neck for the right to aell his ad- miring friends at home. i've kissed the Blarney Stone" McGuire was a member of a party of American sailors conducted by the Young Men's Christian Association to Blarney Cas- tie.

 Pete watched other Yankee blue jackets kiss the Blarney Stone. The approved method is for strong man to grasp the candidates left leg and arm, while another grasps his right leg and arm, then they swing him out over the abyss as far as they can reach and let the intrepid one bounce his nose against the scarcely attainable rock, call it kiss and Tel 1t go at that.
 Not so Mcclure. He knew he could reach out over the ledge and kiss the Blarney Stone across the way without assistance. As he had almost attained his goal, he lost his l balance, and started down the one hundred and ten feet straight through | the air.

Al noon 300 men had been transshipped and one destroyer had started for New York with a load of rescued.
 Khaki-clad men who had gripped with the enemy or who had endured months of mist and mud in Euro pean training camps classed as :" lark the adventure which took them in a driving rain down the slippery sides of the Northern Pacific to the bobbing rescue craft. With an off shore breeze affording a lee to land ward the sailors worked methodi- cally, the four submarine chasers talk ing turns at the side of the big vessel and receiving 150 men at a load. while the 20 motor launches carried 10 to 20. IL was cold. wet work Spray drenched the men in the boats. which rose on the crest of the incom- ing waves and then dived into the troughs, disappearing from the view of the observers on shore, Not an accident, however, marked the morn ings work.
 When the coast guard life savers assembled on the beach they found the sea running further In and the surf breaking higher than yesterday over the transport. The wind was veerlng to the northeast The ship had worked further in during the night, but because it was high water this morning her distance from shore seemed greater.
 The position of tho transport was declared to be virtually unchanged, the danger of her breaking up being no greater than it was last night not wirhstandlng the continued pounding of the seas. Repairs had been made which prevented further water from entering the holds, a message from the ship said.

Denver, Colo. Jan. 3.-After street car service had been completely sus- pended for six and a half hours here last night because of demonstrations by crowds of men and boys who objected to the collection of 8 seven cent fare, service was resumed early tday on regular schedules. Whether it would continue depended, com pany officiels said, on adequate po- lice protection.
 The trouble last night began when hounewGrd bound wOrlCmen In the gtock wards district refused to pay more than a five-cent r-re, elected the trainmen, and ran the cars into the city. As incoming cars reached the business district, they became stalled and within one hour every car in the city was lined up on down. town streets.

ELECTRIC ENGINES
FOR RAILROADS
Ry HOLLAND.


New York, August 31-(special.)
Waiting for the day when it can be put
in service is an electric engine butt in
Philadelphia and housed in that city.
The time will come when it, together
with an electric engine of like eonstruc-
ton, will be put in service upon the
Horseshoe Curve of the Pennsylvania
railroad. Perhaps it would already
have been in service had it not been
| that the federal administration of the
railroads and the emergencies occa-
stoned by the European war caused it
10 appear inadvisable to make the con
templated use OF it.
This electric engine is probably the
| largest and most powerful traction
machine operated by electricity yet
built. 1t possesses the equivalent OF
seven thousand horse power, and this is
as though seven thousand horses were
attached to railroad train at the bot
tom of the horseshoe curve and then
speeded up to their fun capacity so as
to make it possible to draw the train
around the curve up the steep grade
and over the divide.
The engine is capable of hauling a
train-load of about seventy thousand
tons and to do this at speed of twenty
one miles an hour as the train passes
over the curve and surmounts the grade
1t has been for several years in the
contemplation of the Pennsylvania rail-
road management to utilize electricity
instead of steam locomotives over and
around the Horseshoe curve This
purpose will undoubtedly be carried out
as soon as normal conditions are re-
stored and it is likely that the dupli-
cate engine Will be used on the up
grade from Pittsburgh to and~o the
divide and then by the utilization of
breaks adequately made, descend the
curve and proceed on their way to
toona. The other engine will take
train at Altoona and then proee
westerly over The divide
