An Invention That Brings a Vessel to a Stoo Within Its Own Length. Brakes for ships have long been needed, but no one has ever been able to supply the want until. Louis Joseph Lacoste of Montreal, son of the chief justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, turned hia attention to the task. It took years for him to perfect a satisfactory device, but recent experiments at Montreal show that he bar succeeded. It is well STtrawn that the larger ocean going craft, wheh heavily laden, require quite a mile in which to some to a full stop.

Mr. Lacoste, by models, demonstrated that a vessel equipped with his appliances could stop within its own length. Tb vessel used in the experiment was the dominion government boat Eureka, 103 feet in length, 22 feet wide. 12V4 feet draft and about 250 tons. To the sides of this boat, about amidships, were fixed flaps of fins, which, at a given signal rrom me wheelhouse, flew open at right angles.

Each fin was ten feet long and three and one-half feet wide, made Of boiler plate three-eighths of an Inch thick. 'These fins were started by steam, but, of course, when opened a few Inches the pressure of water threw them back the full distance. In-order to hold them at right angles to the side of the vessel and thus tret the maximum retarding effect. water cushions were placed at the back of each fin. The pressure on these water cushion cylinders in no way strained the sides of the vessel the skin was only five-eighths of an Inch thick, There was not the slightest leakage, nor was there any jar.

The cylinders, four la number, were each thirteen Inches long, with Ave Inches water pressure, and although the Eureka at times ran as fast as eleven knots an hour there was no perceptible Jar or strain when the fins were opened and the vessel came suddenly to a standstill. Another advantage of these fins Is the short distance required in which a vessel may be turned around. It was demonstrated during the trial given the device that a boat could be completely turned iround In little mora than Its own length when going at full speed. This was done by opening one fin and keeping the other dosed. The government officials who witnessed the experiment were so deeply impressed with the successful working of the device that some step is likely to be taken by IRE PAT FOR GIVE NOTICE THAT THEY wfiL DEMAND $4 A DAY IN MAY.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11. The Journeymen Carpenters have adopted new trade rules, to take effect Monday, May 11th, which calls for an Increase of pay to 14 a day and for a half holiday on Saturday. At present the wages Is $3.50 per day, or $21 a week of 48 hours. Over 3.000 carpenters in this city are affected.

The new schedule asks for a working week of forty-four hours, and $22 a week. The trade rules have been adopted by all the local unions, consisting of Nos. 22, 304, 483, 1,082 and Stairbuilders' Union, No. 616, and Millwrights' Union. No.

766. A referendum vote was taken and the proposition was carried by an overwhelming- majority The District Council of Carpenters at Its last' meeting ratified the aatlon of the local, organisations and decided to give the contractors the usual ninety days' notice required by the consolidation of the Build ina Trades Council. It Is said that the Saturday half holiday is in force in a. number of large cities, including New York. St.

Louis, Buffalo and Chicago. Is believed that the new schedule will be Inaugurated without any opposition on the "part of the -contractors as work is brisk and conditions are favorable. THE GRAND JURY WILL DECIDE. JOHN ROHAN WILL TAKE CHARGES AGAINST WILLIAMS TO THAT BODY. As far as the Board of Public Works is concerned the charges preferred by John Rohan against Harry G.

Williams, in which he alleged that the last named was not keeping his contract with the city as reeards the quality of coal furnished, are aTthlng of the past. At the meeting of the Board today the hearing of the charges was dropped, as Rohan had failed to file them in writing. i The reasonor Rohan not formally preferring his charge Is the fact that he intends to bring the matter to the attention of the Grand Jury. In an interview. Mr.

Rohan stated that he had found that the Grand Jury was the proper body to hear his allegations against Williams, and therefore he had placed the matter In the hands of an attorney to bring it before that body. Williams was present at the meeting of the Board this morning to defend himself against the allegations. A telephone message was received from Attorney W. H. L.

Hynes, representing Rohan, In which he asked that the hearing be deferred one week, but as no charges had been brought In writing the Board took action as stated. PEN8IONS GRANTED. Pensions have been granted to Oakland people as follows: Theady Quirk, Martin Acton. Mary A. White, Emma Wilson.

Thome, who is 10 years of afe, will not divorce her ajred spouse without a struggle. The latter has retained Attorney Gilbert Wyman to fight the suit Thome, many years ago, married into a wealthy family in England. Ht also had considerable property at that time. Some time after they came to this country his wife died. Shortly afterward Thorne married his late wife's sister.

They lived for a number of years at nis country seai near ay-wards. About ten years ago death claimed his second wife. Three years later, despite his advanced years, Thome fell a vletim to Cupid for the third time. The woman he married was about 25 years of age. They lived together about two months and then the young "bride left her aged spouse.

His quiet and frugal manner of living was not in accordance with her young and1 extravagant tastes, and she soon learned that she had made a mistake when she married her aged husband, notwithstanding his reputed wealth. In 1895 Thome obtained a divorce from his third wife, Georgiana M. Thome. Speculation in land had greatly reduced Thome's fortune when he met Mrs. Julia H.

Allen, who had divorced her husband in Oregon. Friends, how ever, prevailed upon him to venture upon the matrimonial" sea again. He and Mrs. Allen were married on "Mar 25, 1897. Matters went along pretty welf until Thome tired of having his wife's divorced daughter live at their home.

The friction caused finally resulted in a separation last Sunday. Without giving her husband any notice of her intended departure, Mrs. Thome packed her personal effects and went to the home of her daughter to live. Thorne claims that his wife took with her the thra best chairs he had, besides taking away some chops he had purchased for his' Sunday meal ana some grain bought for the chickens. CHURCH MOVERS ARE IN TROUBLE.

MEMBERS OF ST. ANDREW'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH APPLY TO MAYOR FOR AID.

The barroom americano has come in with th country's later phase of civilisation. It has multiplied beyond aH reason, one would think.

Before it was known, people sipped their French brandy, or, more generally, their tequila, and alcoholism was not so rampant. But as all things in 'the benificent scheme of nature are compensated, the balance held true and equal, so we have the barroom land the temperance worker. Whisky comes aad so does the missionary. But it is a bit strong to have one barroom for every 478 inhabitants, and one pulque joint for every 268 men, women and children. Most grocery stores have cantinas.

This Is, indeed, a thirsty old town perhaps we should lay it to the elevation as we ao most other departures from the normal, whether In behavior, temper or morals.
