Hot \ ir Makes Them Cool. According to a writer in Harper's Weekly, there is a great demand throughout India, as well as in other tropical countries, for some sort of fan that will distribute a great deal of cool air at a low cost of production. A German firm has recently introduced in Bombay a portable fan which is operated at about ore-fifth the cost of electric fans. The fan is propelled by a hot-air engine, the heat being generated by a kerosene lamp which holds about one quart of oil. sufficient to keep it running for twenty-four, hours. To the lamp is attached ^ small glns*> chimney which fits into a larger met?l chimney connected with the engine. Upon the top of the engine is hung the fan, similar in shape md size to the ordinary electric fan, whose "peed is governed oy the size of the flame: that is. to reduce the speed i^e flame ia turned down, and to Jnciease it the flame is turned up. The whole outfit weighs about thirty pound?, and sits upon a small stand, raising the level of the fan proper to that of an ordinary desk. It is fitted with handbs, and can be easily moved rc f?ny portion of the room or house rresircd. TIm- Value of New Blood. All that the New Englanders could bring over from Great Britain was a British standard. and if the American standard now differs from the British standard, this must be due. more or Ipwst, to the pressure exerted in America by a oi.tribution other than Eng iish. If wo to-day prefer, as we do undoubtedly, the existing American standards and ideals and tendencies to <hf* Hritish- standards and ideals and tendencies, we must recognize tho various foreign elements in the United Stales as having exerted an influence satisfactory to us now. however much our forefathers may once have dreaded it. We must recognize that the commingling of stocks which has been going on here in the past has been beneficial?or at least that its results are acceptable to us at present. And in all probability our children will admit also that the commingling that is going on in the present, and which will go on in the future, is likely also to be beneficial or at least acceptable.?From Brander Matthews' "The American of the Future," in the | Qentury. The Rise of a Painter. Only painters looked long at the picture which Eugene Carriere exhibited at'the Salon of 1877, and for a dozen years afterward, while his portraits and his studies of children and women steadily gained in distinctive character, they puzzled and repelled the unwary. Their merging varied colors in a single tone, their dissolving of sharp contours in smoke-hued mist, suggested either insincerity or myopic vision. Yet little by little Carriere impressed, first a few artists and j critics, then a part of the public, then even the ministry of fine arts. In 1889 he was decorated, and in the nest year, when his paintings were seen at the then new Salon du Champ Mars, isolated in a single group, Carriere began to be more widely understood. His fervid sincerity, reverberating, as it were, from picture to picture, destroyed all suspicion of pose, and as his technique grew familiar, the sculpturesque solidityof his heads and figures appeared through that mist, in proof of his genius of eye and hand.?From Henry Copley Greene's "Eugene Carriere." in the Century.

In an Irish court recently an old man was called as a witness in an agrarian outrage case. He was very infirm and almost blind, and instead of going into the witness box, he groped his way past it, and was climbing up the steps that led to the Bench. "Is it a judge you want to be, , my good man?" said the Judge, goodhomoredly. "Ab, sure, yer honor, I'?? a poor done man, and mebbe it's all I'm fit for." And the judge had no retort ready.?Westminster Gazette.

Driven by Rochester Physician, Kit by Trolley COLLISION OCCURS AT CROSSING Accident H;\pp."nro Strop CIradc and Passengers Say the Car Was (Joins; at a Ilate of Fifty Miles an Hour. Canandaigus. N. V. ? D:-. George Waldron. a venerable physician of Rochester, took three of his oldest women patients for a health-giving auto jaunt in the country. At the "Fresh Hour Crossing." four miles from here, the machine was struck . j by an express trolley car of the Roch ester and Easton Railway, anci an four were instantly killed. Another woman patient, who was to have joined the ar.to party at the crossing, alighted from the trolley car to step upon the body of the doctor. It is said she will die from the shock. The dead are: Dr. George Waldron. fifty-four, No. 40S Plymouth avenue, Rochester. Mrs. Catharine Farnsworth, seventy-five, No. 11 Eagle street, Rochester. Mrs. William Scandling, sixtyseven, Hopewell Hamlet. Mrs. Jane Hobbs. seventy, of Hopewell Hamlet. Dr. Wa'dron, one of the oldest medical men in Rochester, numbered among his patients the richest ana best families cf the city and the countryside for miles around. As one of the old school of medicine, he believed in the "fresh air" cure as much as in drugs, and frequently took his patients driving through the rural districts to add the finishing touch to his treatment. J A month ago he bought an auto, i Thinking he had mastered it, he invited three aged women to ride with him to Canandaigua and back. S "It will mean ten years of life to yuu4 ue aiiiU, ituu uuiiujcu lucrn iuiu the machine. The thirty-mile ride to Hopewell and part ot the return were made ^ without accident. But near the "Fresh Hour crossing" the auto a balked and the doctor could only get r it running in little spurts and cranky jumps. He blamed his inability to keep it going on the lack of implements in p the tool bo::. When the aged women bec?.me fidgety, he jocularly took from beneath his seat the box of t surgical instruments he always car- a ried and, with the aid of the scalpel and a pair of "nippers," tinkered the engine into running form. e Mounting the chauffeur's seat, Dr. ? Waldron drove along until he reached c * * - At- _ .4. 4- G cue crossing 01 me iracs-siate iruncjr system and the State road. Cars on that line dash past at sixty p mile3 an hour and one of them ap- a proached at the speed limit just as the auto stopped again, half-way ^ across the tracks. Before the physician or the fright- | ened women could cry out, the trolley 5* car had hit them. Splinters of the machine were hurled hundreds of feet in all directions. Its occupants we;e . thrown into a uearby pasture and ? against fence and telegraph poles. ^ "When the car had been stopped, a hundred yards beyond, its panic ~J stricken passengers crowded out and went back to find all the auto party ? dead. Among these passengers was Mrs. Leviza Baker, of Rochester, who p stepped upon the body of her physician, which lay beside the car. She fainted from the shock. ?r. Waldron's neck had been broken and his skull was crushed; every bone was broken in the body of ' Mrs. Farnsworth and the bodies of Mrs. Scandling and Mrs. Hobbs were so mangled that their husbands could ^ not identify them until late at night, All the bodies were put aboard a spe? cial car ar.d taken to Canandaigua.

'' PfiOSPERITV nor flULTED . j Chicago Bank Reports Remarkable Assurances of Good Times. | Overwhelming Preponderance of Evi? j dcnce is That the Business Situation is Sound and Satisfactory. Chicago.?The conclusion of the seventh annual business statement compiled by the Commercial National Bank of Chicago from the reports of 3 0,000 correspondents in all parts of the country, just made publlic, is that legitimatebusiness interests throughout the country are prosperous and sound; only the purely speculative markets are feeling the ejects of money tension and stagnation. In part the report says: "The overwhelming preponderance of evidence is that the business situation is sound and satisfactory. Not one of the thousands of replies negatives this conclusion indefinite terms. That there has been a marked easing down from the tension of the spring and winter months of the year is generally admitted, but it is admitted without a trace of regret or misgiving." In regard to money, it goes on to say: "The bankers of the country, with few exceptions in the Far West, report an extraordinary demand for funds in all lines of busine?s activity. Interest rates are firm everywhere, and in the central reserve and larger reserve olties the inquiry for funds so much exceeds the supply that money is described as 'tight.' The range of our investigation, justifies the conclusion that bank deposits show a straight average increase of 14.2 per cent., against a similar average increase of 10.8 per cent, in the loans. The averages, weighed according to the relative magnitude of the totals, would probably show a closer correspondence between the growth of deposits and loans." The report continues: "Business is generally reported to be good in volume, making an exception for the great hesitancy in the metal market, especially in copp6r and the alloy metals. Voluntary concessions in the prices of these materials have caade buyers wary and they are generally waiting in the hope of further forced declines. "The iron and steel industry is going ahead under the pressure of orders previously booked for fall delivery, but it is conceded that the' current inquiry is lighter, leading to the shading of prices in pig and billets?the basic articles of the in^ dustry. The feeling prevails, however, that with a continuance of activity, even on a somewhat lower scale, the railways will be compelled to buy steadily. In fact, the strength of the market for plates indicates confidence in the tariff situation and a steady increase in freight equiment." Referring to the crop situation, it says: * "Our replies on schedules touching the crop financing operations of the banks show that though yields may be deficient in quantity and quality those defeats, in conjunction with an unabatin;; consumption, will require practically as large a volume of funds as last year."

When the parents of the woman burst open a locked door it was to find the baby half hidden by the body and holding up its hand, from which blood dropped on its face. Haines killed himself an instant after shooting his wife. The bullet almost cut through his brain, and he dropped dead in a corner.

Farmhand Kills Woman Employer in Fit of Jealousy. Trumbull, Conn.?In a fit of jealousy, because he thought she was going to marry another man, Lucas Koplinsky, a farmhand on the estate of Aaron Mallett, at Tashua Hill, just beyond Long Hill, shot and killed Miss Lillian Mallett, and to hide his crime set fire to the barn connected with the house in which he had slain the woman. Miss Mallett, who was fifty-five years of age and wealthy, on the Sunday before buried her father. She was in the kitchen talking with Koplinsky, when suddenly, according to his own statement, he took out a revolver and fired two shots at her, both taking effect. He says he heard Miss Mallett tell another farmhand that she would marry him, and Koplinsky says this enraged him. Koplinsky has a wife and family in New Haven, with whom he has not lived for ten years. He has worked on the Mallett place for seven years. Mrs. Treadwell, the next door neighbor, was at the Mallett farm at the time of the shooting, although not on the spot. She was then going to find Miss Mallett when she heard the reports of a revolver and saw Koplinsky come out of the shed. She ran to her own home ajjd gave the alarm.
