The fire-box of every Buck’s is made for local fuel conditions—that is, in the coal burners the fire boxes are narrow and deep so that they create a hot blast and burn the soft coal gases as well as the coal itself. In wood burners they are broad and long for the scrub oak that is used so much. Every Buck’s carries our absolute guarantee of “ Money Back If Not Satis- tactory ” —and you are the one to say.

The ac- cepted opinion was that a newly emigrat- ed German named Steinhoff had encour- aged him to desert. The German Con- sulate and the Brazilian authorities were requested to assist in obtaining the re- turn of Hassmann and both promised their support. The German legation at ;’eltropons also was informed of the at- air. “Officers In civilian dress and twelve non-commissioned officers went ashore November 26 on leave to inquire about the deserter. They were not ashore in & military capacity and were mostly sep- arated from one another. They asked to be admitted to two places, one a hotel and the other a private house. The man- ner in which the admissions were ob- tained was, so far as can be ascertained, in the usual form, and in both places in- dividual residents, Steinhoff and the son of one of the proprietors, voluntarily as- sisted the searchers. Those on leave did not go ashore at 2 a.'m., but returned to the ship at that hour. Hassmann him- self, without co-operation of the men from the Panther, returned to the ship afterward. 1 “It 18 noz true that a military com- mand was sent ashore. “Steinhoff was neither arrested nor badly treated, and he was not taken on board the Panther. He voluntarily sup- ported the efforts to find the deserter.” Steinhoff, as it appears from another report, probably sailed away from Ita- jahy on a coasting vessel.

McCall, son of John A. McCall, president of the New York Life Insurance Company, who came to Paris for the purpose of having An- drew Hamilton, the former confidential legislative representative of the insurance company at Albany, accompany him back to New York, sailed to-day on the steamship La Lorraine from Havre. Mc- Call took with him Hamilton's report con- cerning his connection with the insurance company’s affairs. The following statement was furnished from an authoritative source: “Mr. McCall found upon his arrival that Mr. Hamilton was under the care of Dr. Riviere, a famous specialist. Mr. McCall delayed his departure at Mr. Hamilton's request in order to see if the treatment would enable Mr. Hamliton to return, but the doctor finally stated that the trip Mr. Hamilton contemplatead, with his return to business, would surely be followed by a serious illness.. There- fore absolute rest for several months will be necessary. “In Heu of his return Mr. Hamilton has prepared and sent a full and explicit statement covering his connection with the affairs of the insurance company. “It s understood that Mr. Hamilton's response to the legislative committee takes the form of going over the entire ground of the investigation. Both Mr. McCall and Mr. Hamilton declined to go into details of the report on the g'mnd of courtesy to the committee. However it s clear that the report was taken to the United States to-day and that it em- braces a satement of Mr. Hamilton’s oper- ations since his connection with the New York Life Insurance Company.” MAKES FAST TIME ; WITH MOTAR BOOTS SPRINGFIELD, IllL.
