Street railway men form a fraternity by themselves, apart and peculiar. They range in rank from the water boys in the horse car stables, the hostlers and harness men up through the grades of bob-tail drivers, tripmen, conductors and motor- men to the mighty gripmen—creatures of awesome presence and curt demeanor, al- most as high as policemen in the eyes of nursemaids who take their charges to cheap and wholesome outings on the for- ward seats of the grip car. The gripman needs his nerve. A locomo- tive engineer handles a more ponderous machine and acquires greater technical knowledge. If he handles a passenger engine more lives depend upon his steadi- ness, but in these days of train dispatch- ers and block signals he meets an emer- gency not twice a year. The gripman saves a life every day. Let him lose his coolness; let him be less watchful and alert, and there will be a casualty. He must needs be a man of brawn. The engineer throws a lever and the air brake does the rest. But the gripman uses main strength. Two brakes are at his command; the wheel brake for general use and the track brake for emergencies. Their effectiveness is in exact proportion to the strength and quick- ness with which they are applied. I saw a gripman skid his rear trucks from the tracks once. It meant a lift of two tons at the rails and a single-handed 200-pound pull at the brake lever. One day last month there was a flash of gray end scarlet almost in the eyes of big Mike Callahan as he was oiling the main bearings in the Peace monument pit. He saw In that brief instant a wee figure, smaller than a year-old child, a weazened, puckered, wrinkled, ash-gray face; a child's face, too, but old, so old and weird; a shrill chittering shriek—once around the big wheel and it was gone in the wake of No. 13, off through the dark portal into which sped the cable of the Baltimore and Olio branch. “I’m a_ dead man,” he groaned, as he staggered back. “I’ve seen the Banshee. It’s trouble, sure. It’s the same that came to Great Gran’ther Callahan in ’93, the day tefore the ridcoats shot him down wid McDermott Rhee. Wanst in a hundred yearg the Banshee comes to the Calla- hans.” Big Mike telephoned that he had a chill and must get off. And on that very trip grip 13 pushed its trailer into a poor woman at the Baltimore and Ohio switch and crushed her foot at the ankle. It takes less than an hour for the word to pass to every train crew on the three cable lines. ‘I'he conductor with the word goes forward on the grip car, signals the one on the on-coming train, and the two drop off together at the front, exchange a Acream of tartar baking pow- der.

QUITE AN UNDERTAKING AND RESPONSIBILITY. From the Wash. Times. The Times’ investigation of Dr. Shade’s treatment of consumption is destined to throw more light upon the wonderful cures that he is apparently ef- fecting and give to the public that information which it is evident the medical fraternity is only too anxious to withhold. The Times’ man yesterday called on Mrs. Wm. F. Bender, 1232 Sixth street northwest. Mrs. Bender is enjoying excellent health and expressed herself as willing to say anything that would tend to bring Dr. Shade's name into prominence, adding that she believed that she owed her life to him. Continuing, she said that she had been attracted to Dr. Shade through an announcement that had appeared some years ago in one of the local papers. She had been sick for about five years, suffering from hemorrhages of the lungs, and had been treated by seven different doc- tors at various times during: this period. None, however, benefited her In the least, and all finally told her that they were unable to offer any en- couragement or even aid her, and that the disease had become so deeply seated as to be beyond their help, ‘It was abont this time that I met Dr. Shade at his office, 1232 Fourteenth street. I was scarcely able to walk. My limbs were so swollen and the hemorrhages had become of such frequent occurrence that life was scarcely worth living. Dr. Shade told me that he would not promise to cure me, but would give me some comfort ond would prolong life. I. placed myself under his treatment, azd in about three months’ time the change in my cordition for the better was of such @ marvelous nature that I myself could scarcely believe it possible. In fact, I was well, and rside from the use of an inhaler which the doctor had recommended for the exercise and strengthening of my lungs, I did nothing more. ‘This was two years ago, and I am as well as I ever was and am able to do as big a day's work as anybody of my size. I tell you, sir, it was really wonderful. No one expected me to live, and when you look at me now and see a strong woman, you may readily imagine that I cannot say too much in praise of him who Drought about this great change in my condition. If there are any sufferers from this dread discase in Washington who are groping about for reliet I would be glad to talk to them and recommend them to the care of Dr. Shade."—S. W. B. It dozen words, and catch the rear platforms as they pass. ‘Then the word moves rapid- ly in both directions. Have you ever noticed how a conductor dreps off He faces to the rear, leans strongly in the same direction, swings Off, lets go, and lands on his feet without mov- ing from his tracks. None but an expert can do it. “Big Mike Callahan says he’s seen a ghost in the Peace monument pit,” was the word which the forward conductor on 22 gave. nakes most lil jim-jams, sure. id oft?" "Yes." “That'll keep him from pitching into the wheel.” And so the word passed, but it was not the end. The oiler in the 15th street junction pit saw the Banshee the next evening clinging to the grip of a north-bound lith street car, and five minutes later that grip car Struck a horse and buggy at Thomas Circle and smashed the carriage. It doesn’t take long to put two and two together. ‘I'he Banshee noodooed every grip car it clung to, and every employe on the road knew it. The subject was dis- cussed with bated breath. No. 23 came over the 15th street pit the same week, and just as it crossed the grip- man heard the oiler below utter a great oath and yell: “There it is again!” Then he heard an oil can strike the grip and crush between the cable and a sup- perting yoke, which made him nervous, and he knocked an old gentleman off his feet, crossing the rear end of a George- town car on his way to the transfer sta- tion. ‘The whole street railway fraternity had it now. Vague rumors reached the outside world, but no one got the rights of it. The Banshee was quiet for three days. But the whole service was getting de- moralized. Gripmen lost their nerve; cars Were stopped and started with a jerk, Which not only threw passengers off their eet, but was bad for the cables; motormen burned out their boxes, and even the horse car drivers made trouble. Matters were coming to a crisis on the cable lines. Something had to be done. A system whose receipts average $4,000 a day amet afford to have its force demoral- ized. The pitmen had it worst. There are ten pits on the cable system, one at each termi- nus, one at each junction and where the cable trenches run from the power houses to the streets. The ponderous wheels need constant watching to maintain them at the point of highest efficiency. An accident at either junction might paralyze the system for twenty-four hours and cause a loss ranging anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000. The machinery in these pits is a marvel of ingenuity. That-in the Peace monument pit is the most peculiar. The main cabie leaves the slot of the north track, runs around a large horizontal wheel, to which it gives impetus, and then returns to its preper channel. It spins swiftly and un- ceasingly nineteen hours a day, like the thread of some gigantic spider weaving a web wherein to crush its unhappy victims, remorselessly and in an instant. Above this wheel another turns, smaller, but upon the same axis, and bearing the auxiliary cable of the Baltimore and Ohio extension, running at a lower speed. It is a dark but cozy nook, this pit; cooler in summer, warmer in winter than the up- per air. Access is gained by a stepladder through a small hatchway near the coping of the monument, whose dolorous Niobes cling convulsively together, like a triad of timorous females apprehensive of a mouse. Within the pit one sees a wide, low room; then a long, narrow, arched passage, white- washed, and leading far down the avenue, to where the gripmen drop the cable or clutch It anew with toothless jaws of steel, which need new leather gums every twen- ty-four hours. Something had to be done; so the superin- tendent put two men in each pit, one armed with a revolver, the other with a breech- loading shotgun, and gave them instruc- tions to fire at anything which didn’t be- long there, man, ghost, banshee or what not. Two days of close watching produced nothing more dangerous than a dismal cat, which had crawled in from some point where a sewer tapped the cable runway to draw off rainwater. And then— A.small gray body clad in scarlet whirled into the monument pit from the avenue cable, shot once around the wheel and then was thrown by its centrifugal force half across the room, almost into the face of one of the armed guards, who was seized with a bad case of “banshee fever,” and let go both barrels of his shotgun aimlessly, then tumbled ignominiously backward. The Banshee filed like a shadow into the tool closet, whereupon the pitman slammed to the door, turned the key and braced him- self against it with 200 pounds of good Irish bone and muscle. “Bijou,” he shouted, crossing himself, “I have ye where the Angel Michael had the divil. I’m not Mother Callahan's sivinth son for naught.” The sound of the gun brought one of those instantaneous crowds which every city can produce, and foremost down the ladder lurched a policeman, with drawn re- volver. “What's up here?” he demanded ftercely. “In there?’ ejaculated Callahan, thumb- ing vigorously over his strenuous shoulder. "sneered 36, “s in there?” We've got it!” Got what?” “The Banshee, bad cess to her!”” “Banshee be blowed! Let me in there!” “For the love av hiv’n, dawn’t let that crather loose agin.” Despite the pitman’s protest, the police- man forced open the closet door. Some- thing flew out and a gray and scarlet flash shot up through the hatchway. The officer swung his club at it, but hit Callahan, and then fell all over himself getting into the outer air. ‘There, perched on the highest crown of the Peace monument,was a small and much frightened monkey in a tattered scarlet jacket. Climbing the pedestal and uttering words of soothing endearment was the Italian proprietor of a near-by fruit stand. “Me-a getta da monk’. He-a belong-a ma broth’, play-a da org’.

A RECENT CONTRIBUTION OF VALUE Interesting Bronze Household Arti- cles and Personal Ornaments. a STAINED GLASS SPECIMENS Written for The Evening Star. Ceti 8 CONGENIAL A neighbors for Schlie- mann’s Trojan relics, of which Uncle Sam became the possessor less than a year ago, there is now being installed in the de- partment of prehis- toric anthropotogy of the National Mu- seum one of the rare collections of ancient Roman and Etruscan = antiquities. The con- tribution is made by Mrs. E. A. H. Ma- gruder, a Washington archaelogical en- thusiast, who has record that her relics were presented to Baron d’Use, French ambassador to Naples,during one of the old Bourbon dynasties. The Magruder collection comprises in all 168 specimens of bronzes, pottery and glass, which, according to Dr. Thomas Wilson, curator of the department of prehistoric anthropology, belonged to the late Etruscan and the early Roman period. This collec- tion will appeal to the interest of the gen- eral public,since all of its relics are articles of the household or adornments for the person, such as are used today. The bronzes include an ‘almost complete set of kitchen utensils, artistic oraaments for in- terior decoration and jewciry, the most of which must have belonged to people of wealth and distinction, probably of the patrician class. These are such articles as weighing scales, strainers, kettles, pots, pans, cups, pitchers, a punch bowl and ladle, a pair of tongs, a lamp and stand, an earring, a bracelet, safety pins, fibulae and small artistic casts, all of which are completey patine; that is, enameled with a bright green corrosion formed on all an- cient coppers or bronzes. Some of them appear to have as much strength and elas- ticity as would be looked for in the new. The Ancient Safety Pin. The weighing scales are of the same or- der as the modern steelyard. The weight arm, about eight inches long, is graduated into the proper divisions and distinctly marked with ancient Koman numerals. A hook is linked near the end, to be held in one finger, and to the short arm is fastened two hooks, which hang down so as to hold the articles weighed. Two fibulae, or less scientifically, safety pins, are made of bronze wire, twisted into a spiral spring at the head, and bent into a catch at the open end, just as the useful article is made today, except that the manufacturer has twisted a curl into the edge which was exposed after the instru- ment was clasped. Although it is possible that these articles 2,000 years ago, as today, were necessary appendages to the nursery pin cushion, they are found to have been particularly used as clasps for the toga, for in those early days the brave warriors had not to struggle with the stud or but- ton, nor with hooks and ey: Another in- teresting relic is a cone-shaped, spiral spring, which exactly resembles a modern bed spring, although Dr. Wilson has no definite record that these luxuries were put in the magnificent divans and lounges of these early times. The wire in this spring is quite as elastic as though it were new and doubtless would endure part of the weight of a good-sized silumberer today. An Ample Punch Bowl. An earring or a bracelet made of bronze does not sound splendid enough for the Roman society belles of whom we read in ancient history. The earring in this col- lection is of wire twisted into a spiral bulb, with a thick ring at one end. The brace- let, which gesembles a modern curtain ring in size and weight, is of hammered bronze, worked into a hollow band, bearing no decoration further than numerous par- allel indentations running up and down and giving it a striped appearance. These two adornments were probably part of the paraphernalia of some of the more ancient truscans or the lower classes of Romans, such as a “pleb.” or a slave. A large Etruscan punch bowl, a foot and a half in diameter, with long-hand!ed dipper, both bronze, help to tell the story of how the once ambitious people of Etruria be- came subjects of the Romans because of their retirement into luxury and idleness. Several pitchers and cups of the same metal, carefully and artistically hammered into graceful shapes, which are seldom imitated today in our machine-made metal- ware, appear as though they might have belonged, with the former, in the same household. : Although it Is hardly probable that the Romans drank anything so mild as tea or coffee, two shallow vessels, resembling small frying pans, without bottoms, are classed as strainers. These were formerly supplied with bottoms made of thin per- forated bronze, long ago crumbled away, and are said to have been used for strain- ing wine, fruits or some of the other liquid delicacies of the Roman board, An Ancient Lamp. The gems of the whole collection, how- ever, are an ancient lamp and stand. The lamp differs in shape from the regulation Roman type, which In the later days was usually made with a handle on the side. The specimen in question consists of a small boat-shaped vessel, flat at one end and round at the other, with a small spout, through which the wick was inserted, pro- truding from the flat end. It may be sus- /pended from a fastening in the wall or ceiling by a chain attached to the two square corners and the center of the rounded end. The most luxurious Romans often burned highly perfumed oils in these open lamps. The tall stand, which proba- bly belongs to this lamp, measures about a yard off the floor and seems to be, the ancient conception of the piano-lamp ped- estal. The three legs are gracefully curved, and the top, only about five inches in diameter, is decorated with a hammered molding, differing in design. A pair of broken tweezers, which is also in the lot, being about the size and shape of a tun- ing fork, was in all probability used to pull out the wick re 4€ burned too near the oil. . The earthen reli¢ in $Wis collection will be invaluable to ethpologists who have not had the advantages of foreign study. The most conspicuous specimens among them are two large terfa-cotta urns belonging to the later period of Etruscan art. They are both extensively decorated with groups, probably representing the people of Etru- ria, of whom no definite |history has ever been found. The figures on these are form- ed by the barejgearthenware showing through a backgrogmhd of black paint. Dr. Wilson says the earlier and more artistic Etruscans used tke oppbsite method of decorating, painting the figures against the ground of terra-cotta, just as it is done to- day on china. Each of these large urns is bordered around the top py a wreath and around the bottom by the;“walls of Troy.” Between these designs on each vessel are two groups. One of these shows two men, one apparently young and the other aged, with bowed heads, consulting over some grave subject. On the reverse is a woman, scemingly of high rank, with a wreath in one hand and a fan in the other, speaking with a nude female figure, probably her slave, who holds a dish and a long spray of flowers. The woman of rank wears the typical loose robe of her time, her hair be- ing arranged in the Psyche knot. On the second vase she appears, and also the nude figure of a man, in both groups. Roman Stained Glass. The other earthen figures, with the ex- ception of a few smaller vases, decorated in the same reverse style, but without the groups, are either masks or small statues, expressing various human physiognomies and many interesting styles of dress and headgear. Ten of these masks are nearly lifesize, being made hollow, Ife huge dolls’ FOR NERVOUS PROSTRATION, Hysteria, Brain Fag, Hypochondria, Nervous Dyspepsia, Melan- cholia, Locomotor Ataxia, Insomnia, Epilepsy and general systemic Weakness, TAKE CEREBRINE.

The majority of the wo- men’s faces might be regarded as those of fair damsels of the present day, with their hair parted in the middle and the aforesaid “Pysche knots” rearing up in grandeur. The specimens of Roman stained glass are all broken into small bits, but, judging from their curved surfaces, must have once been parts of large and elaborate vases or cups. They are all of some rich color, usu- ally red, biue or green, with figures of con- trasting shades, some like white ribbons, waving over the darker backgrounds, or others sparkling with spots of gold dust, while the most beautiful of all are made Ike the eyes of the peacock feather, blend- ing off into almost every shade of the spectrum. Dr. Wilson says that it is be- yond the abilities even of the Venetians to reproduce this work, since the methods of the artist cannot be detected by the mi- croscope. There are many theorles regarding the in- vention of glass. The Bible says that on one occasion, when fhe Israelites set fire to a forest, the heat became so intense that the sand and niter melted and flowed along the mountain side. There is also a story about some pirates who landed on a beach, where they built a fire for their cauldron, piling up large stones and placing between them some seaweed and blocks of wood. The heat melted the stones, which mixed with the sand and formed a glassy mass. However this may be, the Egyptians are given credit for the invention of glass, which they are believed to have first made when they manufactured their earliest bricks and pottery. Glassmaking was in- troduced into Italy by the Romans, during the time of Cicero, and the Venetians have retained the mastership of the art. Se What Are We Coming Tot (Public school, first grade, A.
