train make a service application of seven or eight
pounds. Note tho illrfliatRe from train lino ex
haust. Train your car tu this, an there are times
that the brakes can lw ulea.sed from the head
end, but cannot bo applied flora the same source.
If in running jour (rain down tlie'MU you have
just released the brake nnd a flat; looms up before
jou, cltlirr make a full service or an emergency
application. Don't attempt to make a five or six.
pound reduction, as your train plfw prtsiure is
Rreater than your auxiliary and the brake v.Ul
not take hold until you have reduced train pipe
pressure below auxiliary lescrvolr pressure.
In conclurlon, I would ask tliat the crews work
together in this matter and assist tho Inspectors
at all terminal point in making tests, as it is
our desire to make the necessary repairs t these
points to dispense with further trouble when on
the road.

LIPE SAVERS AT WORK.

V.. D Ilulh.it, In Kianl- U-se Popular
Mnlltllll
On the- night of tlit aist or Oetobor,
1SS.1. the schooner Sophia Jtlneh enmo
down ncrofts Luku Erie, bringing a
eargo of lion ore from Maremette. It
was blowing a gale, anil Jtnt ns Mm
prrlved of Cleveland her rudder wtt
disabled by n heavy sen. Hoth an
ehius were let go, .mil she earn- to
outside the breakwater and hoisted a
signal for itsslstnnce, A couple of
tugs started out to bring her In, and,
thinking that there would probably
bo trouble, Keeper Goodwin went with
them, tnklng all but one of his surf
men. Reaching the hchoontr. the life-
savers managed to boaid her, at much
il-sk and with great difficulty, leaving
only tfurfman Dititel on one of the
tugs to assist In handling tho ropes.
The towllnes were made fast and tho
anchor i4 flipped, but they had luudly
started for tho harbor entrance whon
the Jerking of the vessel In tho rough
and dangerous sea btoke both haw
soi.s, and before the anchor could
tnko hold again she had drifted so
far toward land that tho tugs could
not roach her. She was leaking, nnd
the sens wore breaking over her with
such violence that the men could do
llttlo at tho pumps for fear of being
wnshed overboard: and, worst of till.
In n little while Bhe began to drag,
It was a rocky shoro townrd which
she was drifting, but fortunately tho
lake-bottom beneath her was of sand
nnd the vatcr no deeper than tho full
height of her hull. Tho captain con
sulted tho keeper, and they decided to
scuttle her whore she lay. Auger
holes were bored In tho deck, the
water poured In. and tho settled till
she lay Just awash, while tho men
took to the rigging and v.nltedk for
help.
Meanwhllo the tuga had gono back
to tho harbor, and Surfman Dlstel
and the one man who had becm left
In tho station were hustling around
in ta ndeavor to pick up a volunteer
wSw
crew to assist them In rescuing their
comrades. It was not nn tensy task
nt two or three o'clock In the morn
In, but they Ilnallv got hold of tho
lighthouse-keeper, the customs Inspec
tor and thiee others. Tho llfe-snverj
nnd the men whom they had rlskai
their lives to help worn clinging wear
ly to the rigging when n shot from
the Lylo gun went whizzing by,
slttnrel' over the vessel, and a light
lope dropped Jurt nb.tft the foremost.
Tho lutwscr nnd whlpbloek wera
quickly hauled our ami made fast, and
In a few minutes more the breeehei
buoy enme sliding thituigh the diult
nuss. The keeper went ashatc llrst to
-iverreo the operations on the beach,
and the ntheis followed one by one
till only Surfman Hatch was loft on
the foremast, and another surfman
and 11 sailor in the nitzzen-ilggliitr-Between
them the sea wns breaking
over the midships portion of the ves
sel with great violence, and the main
boom and gaff veto swinging baek
and forth across tho deck and threat
ening to knock the life out of anv 011
who should come In tlielt way. Suf
mnn Dlstel then volunteoieil lo go out
and consult Hatch ns to the best
means of saving the two men aft.
They talked It over, and Hatch de
termined to try and make- his way
tn the miazen-tnnst, and, if possible,
bring them back with him. lie reach
ed tho stern without mishap, but at
such great risk that It hfemed fool
hardy to return. Dlstel waited a lit
tle while, and then, ns no one- np
pe.ired, he went tibhoie to report to
the keeper. The situation xis wotso
than bel'ote, for now there were Hire"
men apt Instead ot two. It wns de
cided thut the only way of lescttln?
them was to throw another line to tlt'i
mizren-rigglng. Hut now a new diffi
culty piesented il. Tl.ny had not
enough ropes and tackle, Th prob
lem was solved bv Dlstel's making an
other trip to the wreck and casting
fhe whip-block lnue lrom the foi-e-liunt.
to which It had been made fast.
He and the block woro hauled back
tr. tho beach together, another shot
wns fired with unerring neeutney from
the Lylo gun, nnd the thieo men were

HANNA AND THE REFOKTEE.
The Latter, with Characteristic Di
plomacy, Carried His Point.
1'ixirn the Siunday l.veninp l'i-t
Dm lug the recent campaign, when
Senator Mark Tluuua made, a quiet,
llylng trip to New York, one day, a
newspaper that hal been busily at
tacking him sent .1 icportor to I1I3
hotel. "Ho':) hero on some errand Im
portant to the- public." said the city
editor. "Watch him; see whom he
meuts, and make him tell what they
tall: about; gut the whole story,"
The reporter went to the hotel. Ho'
found Jlr. Hnnun In ti eiulet corner of
the lobby and stated his errand. The
fceiuitor spoke with angry emphasis,
"Why should I ti.iy n. word to your
paper? It has done nothing but at
tack me, mlsreptesent mo and vilify
mi'. Why should I say a wonl to
you?"
"Jly newspaper," loplled the repor
ter, calmly, "has a very wide circu
lation. We want to know all about
this trip so far ns it concerns public
interests. Wouldn't you piefer to tell
hi, youirelf rather than havo us Uarn
possibly with unavoidable incorrect
ness In some other way?"
Tho senator's gruff ness tolaxed
somewhat, but he still spoko with
cm tries?. "I'll tell you. I have come
hero on private matters only. I have
no errand of public Interest or im
portance. I am to meet no one here.
Now, 1 havo told you this like a gen
tleman, nnd I know you will believe
ine like a gentl.'inan. Hood-day, sir."
Tho lepnrter met this with that di
plomacy which Is the Inspiration of
the Instant. Ho said. "I thank you
for your fiankness, Jlr. Hanna: nnd,
as you say, I of course, believe you.
But, as you say, wo have heard of
your piesenco hero. Others, therefore,
may also hear of It. 1 know you aro
expecting to see no one, but ptotnlnent
men unexpectedly to yourself may
cflnw here toi see you, nnd on Import
ant publlo matters. Vndor Instruc
tions from my city editor, therefore,
I think I shall havo to wait and s?e
If, unexpectedly to yourself, any sutm
perrons diop In."
Tho senator's sternners vanished;
his fnco brightened with a grin; ho
teallzcd that tho leporter would do his
best to treat him fairly, and through
out the rest of iho day was cordiality
Itself.
