Arrangement by Which a Firo Cnn Bo Illndo to Extinguish Itself. Pottsvllle, May 28, The Miners' Journal says: The recent loss by fire of three of the largest breakers of the region led a traveling man, who visits this section frequently, to look Into the matter of Increasing the safety of large structures. The recent' holocaust In Paris, whereby a large number of hu- man lives were lost, Induced him to consider how those accidents In tho future could bo avoided. He formulat ed a plan by which the fire Itself turned on the water to put 'he Are out, and a thermostadt combined with It turns oft the water after the fire Is out. He has submitted his plans to tho breaker builders of Wyoming and Schuylkill regions and all who have seen It hava endorsed the plan. He Is .now going to tho patent office with It, From the showing of it watchmen on the Inside can be entirely dispensed with from the fact that tho fire Itself turns on the water and puts Itself out.

When the temperature Is reduced to a point indicated on the thcrmostadt the electric mechanism turns oft the water to prevent further damage by the wat er otter the fire Is extinguished. The Journal reporter has seen the drawings of the apparatus and It Is certainly one of tho most simple and yet feasible In ventions that has been exhibited In this section in many years. It will prove Invaluable In coal breakers, factories, churches, theaters and In fact all large buildings and there Is a mint of money In It for the Inventor tmd manufactur er. , WAS IT SET ON FIRE? Curious Coincidence Noted in ibc Case of lbc Fuller Breaker at Maltby, Destroyed Yesterday. Wllkes-Barre, May 2S. Concerning the Fuller breaker at Maltby, the burn ing of which was mentioned In yes terday's Tribune, the Times this even ing says: The shaft under the breaker burned this morning was originally sunk by Fuller & Stetler, of Scranton, but after operating the breaker for some time It was sold by them to tho D., L. & W. Co. The coal land underlying the breaker and adjacent thereto Is Jointly owned by Lawrence Myers and the Hunt estate of the clfjt About six years ago, it will be remembered, the shaft and workings were flooded. Vig orous pumping operations were prose cuted for many months, but there seemed to be no end to the water, which came to within fifty feet of the surface, and after a long selge, the D., L. & W. company abandoned the work nnd since then no effort has been made to put the workings In shape so that they could be operated. Later on the Wyoming Coal & Land company began operations about one-half mile distant where It owns 450 acres of coal land, and rather than go to the expense of building a breaker It leased the Hunt breaker from the D.. L. & W. no., nnd he coal It mined was prepared for marKet mere, being hauled from the mine In cars over Its own track built for that purpose. Between 12 and 1 o'clock this morning the aged watchman of the works was sitting in the ofllce eating his lunch, when he heard a peculiar crackling noim. Hurrying outside he glanced upward and was horrified by seeing flames shooting from the side of the breaker about at tho point where the trestllng Joins it. He sounded tho alarm, and soon there was a large crowd of people assembled, but as there were no flre-flghtlng facilities at hand, nothing could be done to stay the work of the flames, und the entire structure together with the boiler house, a small supply house, three flat oars and two coal oars of tho Delaware, Lackawanna and AVestern company were destroyed. Near the works are seveial houses oc cupied by the workmen, who had a lively time preventing the flames from communicating to them, though they succeeded admirably. Tn a talk with William Griffiths, of West Pittston, who Is president of the company he told a reporter-this morn ing that as the Wyoming Coal and Land company could not get along without a breaker the structure would no doubt be rebuilt but he could not say definitely at that time whether the company or tho Delaware, Lackawan na and AVestern vtould bear tho ex pense. Neither Mr. Grlfllths nor tho watchman could explain how the fire originated. A singular thing In connection with the burning of the breaker is that It is the third destroyed In the same vic inity within a very short time. First the Mt. Lookout was burned then the Maltby and now tho Fuller all situat ed within three miles of each other. BRAKGMAN INJURED. Thrown from n Lehigh Valley Train Ncnr Ttinktiunuock. Pittston, May 28. Frank II. Mitchell, aged 20 years, employed as a brake man on the Lehigh Valley road, was admitted to the Pittston hospital at 9.30 o'clock .this morning, suffering with very serious fractures of the right leg and thigh.

From the Chicago Record, A good story Is told of Guzman Blanco, who was for many years dic tator of Venezuela. It Is said that when he called upon Baron de Roths child In Paris to negotiate a loan for the government, he remarked, by way of a compliment, that he was much honored by having an Interview with tho holder of the richest banking houses In the world. "And I , am honored," was the re ply of the baron, "by receiving a call from the richest man on earth." "If you have me In mind," retorted Guzman, "you are mistaken. I am not so rich as reported, but had I all that Is credited to me I would still be poor, very poor, In comparison with yourself and thousands of men In this and other countries." "But I Insist upon the truth of my assertion that you aro thp richest man In tho World, for who ejae," exclaimed Itothschlld, "has estates .comprising 600,000 square miles of territory? AVho else has an income of $37,000,000? Who has 2,500,000 slaves?" Guzman said nothing In reply, but smiled significantly, as much as to say, "I see you understand the politics of Venezuela." ( INDIA CimilY. A HotOVcntltor Uso of tho Condlmcn Not (onornllr Known. Tho uso of that wholesome condi ment,, curry powder, In tho avcrago American family Is becoming greater each year, says tho Sun. This pow der has been in general use In Eng land since tho days of Warren Hast ings, and Englishmen have become very fond of It, somo sprinkling the curry from a holder as an American would pepper upon hts food. People living where the heat of tho climate makes It necessary to uso stimulating condiments In their viands learn quickly to like a curried dish or any thing with this powder In it. Perhaps It Is not generally known that slices of cold meat or fowl heated In n well seasoned curry sauce and served for luncheon on a hot summer's day are better for the stomach than the cold meats alone. A curry powder Is used with great success In seasoning fish sauces and vegetable dishes as well as meats and a little of this powder In soups adds to their flavor. A curry powder Is pulverized very fine and smooth, and usually Is pre pared with the following spices: Twelve ounces of tumeric, one ounce of caynenne pepper, half an ounce of black pepper, the same of paprika, six ounces of ginger, half an ounce each of cardamon seed, cummin seed, mace, and cinnamon, and eight ounces of coriander seed. A bottle of tho best Imported India curry powder may be purchased at a small expense and will retain Hb strength for a long while If kept closely corked, rolled In thick paper, or put In a dark place. In the East Indies, where curries are so succesfully made, an acid fruit Is commonly and cocoanut Is always UBed with the other Ingredients, which would seem unusual to us, who are accus tomed to associating cocoanut with del icate cakes and dainty puddings. Here Is one recipe for India curry: Break open a cocoanut, save the milk, and grate half the nut meat. Pour over this half a cup of fresh milk and the cocoanut milk, and let them stand In a cool place several hours. Take a boiled fowl and cut It Into pieces of the proper size, removing the skin and bones and sprinkling the flesh lightly with salt. Cut a good sized onion Into small pieces and put It into a frying pan with three tablespoonfuls of butter; cook them five minutes, add half a chopped green pepper, and cook live minutes longer; stir in two tablespoon fuls of flour and two tablespoonfuls of curry powder and stir until it is frothy; slowly add one pint of the liquid In which the chicken was cooked, after removing the grease carefully: Now press the milk from tho grated cocoa nut nnd add It to the other Ingred ients with a teaspoonful off sugar. Allow these to cook slowly ten minutes. Put Into a saucepan tho prepared meat and strain the curry sauce over it; add the Juice of half a lemon; cover the pan, and let the contents Just bub ble for twenty minutes; then seive A few raisins or pieces of apricots are frequently added with the other In gredients; then the sugar and lemon may be omitted. THE JURY SYSTEM. From the Philadelphia Times. Judge Dean Is quite right In assuming that unless our Jury system shall become more generally admlnlsterd in accord ance with tho plain mandates of tho law the system must be overthrown. He be lieves, as do all who have faith in tho people, and In the government of the peo ple, that "tho Jury msut represent the cons-clonco and Intelligence or tho whole people'." It must not represent tho learned, tho rich or any other favored class; it must not represent tho poor who might bo tempted to tho spoliation of property, and It certainly must not rep resent the Idle and vicious who prostitute the administration of Justice la Its own sanctua.. He strikes at the very root of the evil when ho refers to the fact that when he administered Justice as u coun try Judge business men of tho largest In telligence and experlenco In the affairs of life as a rulo sought to be discharged from Jury duty. Our merchants and our bUbl.netH men complain If they are sum moned to serve as Jurors, and yet thuy stand appalled today at tho prostitution of tho Jury box In tho Intel ests of tho agrarian, defying Juatlcie, disregarding law, and aiming only to take property from the thrifty for the benefit of the idle aim vicious. So grave has this evil become In Phila delphia that tho Jfdges who aro charyej with tho selection of names to go Into the Jury box would offend their closest friends If they put them Ir a position to servo as Jurors. It Is Irksome, poorly paid and attended with many discomforts; but It must bo remembered that In tho Jury box la tho safety of tho person and property of every citizen, and while thoso who have large business pursuits demand ing their entire attention naturally seek to escape such exacting duties, the thrift less, the Idle and the vicious seek such opportunity in every possible way, and as has been known in many Instances in this city will personate their friends and enter the Jury box by fraud, to make It a mockery of Justice, -ill: Judge Dean very clearly and Impres sively teaches the "necessity of the Jury box representing the average conscience and intelligence of tho people. As long as tho Jury Bystem represents that condi tion it must command universal confi dence and respect. The people could not but approvo that which came from them selves and which they have maintained with reverence. They want not tho great nor the small; not the rich nor tho poor; they want the average man, or tho ming ling of the classo whereby tho avcra-sa and tho practical sense of Justice that per tains, among the masses shall bo fairly rctlected in the administration of Justice. As Judge Dean well says, Jurors through their practical knowledge of questions connected with Important cases at times more Justly Judgo the lines of Justice than even the courts. The miner who knows nothing beyond wielding hts pick will often In the witness box or In the Jury box more aid tho administration of Jus tice by reason of his practical knowledge than can tho accomplished engineer, and there Is no safer plnce in which to lodgo tho protection, of person and property man in mo average American citizen. So far as our Jury system has become offensive or fallod to fulfill its high duties It has teen wholly because of the perver sion of the system from the fundamental principles on which it was founded. Tho efforts to control Juries In the Interest of suitors Is no new thing in our cities, but tho corrupt control of a Jury could not bo accomplished If the twelve men com posing it represented tho averago con science and Intelligence of the community, Somo might bo approached, but all could not bo debauched cr Influenced, and one honest Juror can always prevent a mis carriage of justice. Jn tne rcso.ute re turn to the broad principles on whlcn tho Jury system was founded centuries ago depends tho safety cf the Jury system In our free government. It cannot continue as it Is, for as long as evils aro tolerated they must Increaso rather than diminish, and this evil can bo corrected whenever tho Judges, the bar, tho public press and Intelligent citizens unite to demand It. THE MARKETS. Wnll Btrootlloviow. New York, May 28. Today's market was marked by In ten so dullness throughout almost tho whole of Uie session, during nil of which prices wero very firmly held, so that the lively demand In a few stocks to cover Just at tho close, carried them substantially above last night's close.
