Elevators Foojproof.

Among the innovations in the new Ambassador hotel, Park avenue and Fifty-first street, New York, are the micro self-levelng type of elevators, the first to be Installed in New York. When the floor of the ear is exactly at the floor level, the ear stops. Then, and not until then, the doors may be opened. Passengers are thus protect ed by the double safety device, one which does away with all danger of stumbling or tripping, and which also makes it impossible to open or close the doors of the elevator shaft until the car is In the "safe" position.

MIR. BOWSER, HE SORROWS His Office Boy Meets With Fatal Accident.
 By M. QUAD.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO0O


 Mir. Bowser came home to dinner with look of sorrow on his face.
 Mrs. Bowser noticed it the first thing, but, thinking he had q slight case of the collie, she did not say any thing. At the dinner table, she like wise noticed that he had tears in his eyes at times, and she intended, when the meal was finished, to recommend some eye-water to him. When they had retired to the sitting room and Mir, BOwser had sat down and sighed six or seven times, Mrs Bowser kindly inquired:
 Dear, aren't you feeling as well as usual this eveningw
 No, I'm not" was his reply, "I have been through a strenuous day. What 1 have seen today will forever cling to my memory, even if I should live a thousand years!"
 ''Then you have seen something~ she asked

 Did the roof of your office fall in?"
 Don't be silly. My office boy is dead. One moment he was alive and in bounding spirits; the next moment he was dead boy"
 "Why, that surely was bad acci- dent" said Mrs. Bowser. You told me, about month ago. that you had changed your boys. Was this the new boy?"
 "It was. His name was Nero Fitz- simmons and he had been with me just a month. The old boy, who had been with me about five years, became dissatisfied with his wages He turned to painting. He got so he could paint pig pen and so he joined the paint CTS union. They went on a strike few days ago for eight hours day, five days in a week, and seven dollars Il day, and the boy shook hands with me and departed. Yes, this was the new boy. He was good boy, as all office boys are. He carried off my gold pen, carried off my postage stamps, and picked up any loose change lying about, but he did So with innocent intent. He believed that things were not evenly divided up He believed that he had right to have my property and so he tried to acquire 1t. Poor Nero Shall I ever find an- other like him?"
 But about his death?" querted Mrs. Bowser.
 My office is on the eighth floor of skyscraper you know. There were some men working on the sidewalk, and Nero leaned out of the window to watch them. They saw him and asked him some questions. As near as 1 could make out, his answer was that they might go to the devil. Nero was a bit emphatic in his language, but he didn't mean anything by it. His heart was as innocent as that of Hon. One of the men threatened to punch NerO's head, and the innocent boy leaned far out of the window to make faces and shake his fist. He leaned too far. I was about to reprimand him when he fell. Alas, poor Nero fell to his death He struck on the men and then bound

 ed to the walk, and he had breathed his last before 1 could get down to him. I lifted up his head and talked to him in my usual fatherly way, but his soul had fled. Every bone In his body was broken. Tears sprang to my eyes at once. and I was wiping them away when one of the workmen told me that Nero had furnished them with the excuse they wanted for high CT wages. If an office boy was to fall on their heads from an eighth story window, they must have at least four dollars more day"
 "There was an inquest, wasn't there?" asked Mrs. BoWser.
 ..Yes, certainly. I had to attend the inquest and give my testimony. wept while giving it, and the coroner paid me for 1t. He said that noble heart beat in my breast"
 "Yes, Mr. Bowser, you are very emo- tional. Did the boy have parents?" He had a father and q mother, and also sister and brother. It devolved upon me to convey his mortal remains to his home. It Is needless to say that I wept most of the time while l was conveying. One moment he was sass ing the men on the sidewalk below, and the next. he was among them ly-
