Tin* Cost of tlie Strike.
Tho trolley strike, which has lusted th rty-
four days, has cost nn enormous amount of
money. Three million dollars is considered
by tho?e involved a moderate estimate.
When the strike stnrto I it was stated that
district assembly No. 75 had from $00,(JO) to
$*0,000 in its treasury. About $05,000 was
f-ubscribed by sympathizers. All this has
been spent, and the $350,000 wages the nv n
would have earned has been lost. The
Brooklyn Heights Railroad company was
the heaviest ’user among the roads. It is
estimated to ha>e lo t directly $fi()j.000. The
other systems have lo-t close to $300,000.
The cost to the city and state troops is ex-
pected to exceed $250,000. The da mnge done
by cars managed by inexperienced tnen is
placed at $100,000 more, and the loss in euru-
mg capacity by the militia duriug their stay
in Brooklyn is conservatively estimated at
$250, OX).
There were many other losses to swell the
amount in addition to the inconvenience
and Buffering caused by the big strike.

ital and nro prepared to provide buildings

ple of tho state decide lo remove the capi-

a capital removal organization, similar to u

Attack on ('luirclien R«l>uk*(l.
Grand Orator John H. Atwood, of Leav-
euworth, in the course of his annual oration,
delivered before tho Masonic grand lodge of
Kansas, in session in Topeka, passed some
rather severe strictures upon the church. At
the next day’s sersi ui formal protest wa*
made against the oration, and. after a heated
and protracted debu'.o, the obnnxiou* pro-
duction was ordered revised before it ap-
pear* in the lodge records. The Masonic
home fund, which was started two years ago
by levying a per capita assessment of $1.
was discontinued, and tho cash ou bund was
ordered transferred to the gem rul fund.
The amount transferred was about $40,OCX).
This settles for years the vox*d question of
establishing a Masons’ orphans’ I ome.
The following new officers of the grand
lodge were elected: Most worshipful grand
master. Joseph H. McCall. Wichita: deputy
grand master, Chib s C. Coleman, Clay Cen-
ter: grand, s nior warden. W. M. Shaver,
Wichita; grand junior warden, M. L. Stone,

London, February 25.—The Statist says:
Tho high rate of inter®-t asked for the
United States loan is duo to tho belief fur-
ther loans will tie needed nnd if the presi-
aent refust's to borrow und congress does
not act properly gold will go at a premium
and disappear from circulation. This will
be foUow d by a panic in Wall street and
the money market business will bepuraly/ed
until the elections next year are over. Tho
irue remedy for the currency crisis is a loan
to call in and cancel the greenbacks.

Hntemnn, Duuglaws Grien and Jninoi A.
Garner, assignees, vs. the widow nnd heir/

Automatic Fire Plxtlngulsher.
A new method of extinguishing fires
by means of an automatic chemical
process Is proposed anil tests have been
mnde In which tho Inventor claims
to have proved the vulue of his device.
Jte argues that if the oxygen eau lie
dispelled from the atmosphere com
bustlon will he arrested uud tho fire
Immediately die out. An Insulated
wire is run In the celling of a room
nnd eounectcd to it thermostat. YY’hen
the temperature of the room rises to
a certain point ubove the normal, say
105 degrees Fahrenheit, an alarm hell
Is sounded nnd the wire Is parted.
This sets free a number of weights
arranged at set Intervals, which fait,
on small vials of chemically prepared
solution. Tills disengages a gas thut
forces oxygen from the room through
valves fixed for the purpose. As soon
us the oxygen is forced out the valves
swing hack into place nnd the room be-
comes airtight. The lire Is extinguish-
ed nt once, but twenty minutes Is nl-
lotved before pure air Is admitted, nnd
the Idea is to connect tho wires run-
ning to the various apartments in a
large building in the general office, so
tliat when the alarm is sounded the
fire is instantly located. A special ar-
rangement Is nlso provided hy which
all windows tliat might he opened at
the outbreak of a fire nro immediately
closed when tlie thermostat Indicator
