IT arrived In Omaha Saturday to attend ths golden wedding anniversary of hla uncle and aunt, Mr.- and Mra. Charles F. Breckenrldge. Mr. Breckenrldge ta a young man, a mere boy In appearance, but be baa charge of all the factories of the American Can com pany in Ha central dlatrlct, extending from the Allegheny to trie Rooky mountalna and from the Canada line to the Gulf of Mexico'. There are .sixteen manufactorlaa tfi thla district, employing- about 6,000 men. oVer whom Mr. Breckenrldge haa au thority. "Few people realise the part which the can plays in tha life of the world today," he said. "The can la modest, unassuming arul retiring In Ita disposition. Like charity, It seeketh not Ita own. It la content to do Ita great aervlcea to the world and then retire to the alley or the rubbish pile with out a murmur. But Ita part la very great nonetheless. ' "The progreaa of civilisation In any given country or aeotlon of the earth can b traced by the Jype of can used. When a territory la flrat trodden by the foot of the explorer and the pioneer, the condenaed rotlk can, the sardine can and the cans of preserved meat arid vegetables enter. Then follow cane of higher grade food producta. With the bulldera of the flmt towns the paint can la contemporary, and when civ- Dilation haa advanced farther the highly ' lithographed cana containing such luxuries , aa talcum powder, shaving soap, tobth powder, eta., make their appearance. , Everything Now la Canaad. "Everything Is canned nowaday. I hava even heard It proclaimed that straw hats are -canned' tn the fall of the year when their season of usefulness has passed. However, this use of the word Is a misno mer' for the reason that all things canned ape preserved, while things 'canned' are destroyed or thrown away. ''The can Is everywhere. Wander Into the farthest mountain fastnesses of the remotest continent and the can Is there. Take the wings of the morning and fly away to tha midst of the great Sahara desert, and when you think you ara alone you look around and find a can grinning at you. They float on tha bosom of the ocean. Nowhere tan you get away from them. I made a trip to tho White moun tains for a rest not long ago with my . cousin. R. W. Breckenrldge. We climbed to tha highest peak, and when we stood on that lofty pinnacle, overlooking tha world, I remarked that at last we were absolutely out of sight of anything that suggested the hand of man. We turned around and, be hold, thera was a tin can containing a paper on which visitors to that solitary peak war aocustomed to stgnlh1r names. rCans ara manufactured now by a line of machines. Into ona end Is fed tha sheet of tin and out of tha other comes tha fin ished can. It is certainly ona of tha world' Weatsst Industrie."

Tha Bradya ara bold up aa a terrible example bf what may r befall any realdent who will hot obey mob law. No one denies that tha effect haa been salutary, and that many parsons submit because they ara afraid of being boycotted. Tha strike situation in Belfast does not Improve materially. The following letter, signed by tha three Belfast members of Parliament, has been sent to tha employers of men in Belfast: - "In view of the grave situation wbloh has arisen In Belfast and the great evils which are likely to arise from a contin uance of the present labor dispute, wa hava waited upon Mr. Blrrell, the chief secretary for Ireland, and appealed to him to use his Influence to bring this deplora ' Me dispute to an and by consenting to arbitrate.

Ireland In Bad Plight. ; ,In a letter to the Dally Telegraph, a resident of Ireland says: "The present condition of affairs In certain parts of Ire land Is fraught with the greatest peril, not only to the welfare of the country at large. put to the good name of any government whose responsible ministers or officials fall to recognise the serious nature of the sit uation, or hesitate to act so aa to avert the consequences certain to ensue.

Prank A. Lovelnnd fleta Oat at Bed at (1st O'clock to Porform Ceremony. .Rev. Frank A. I.oveland of the First Methodist Episcopal church was called upon perform a wedding aeremony at I o'clock yesterday morning. The parties ' were Pvme Hawthorne of Hyann'a. Neb., ajid Mlsa Florence aira-M r'rtre of orren. Pa. The brtde arrived in the city on the midnight Burlington train from, the east and the groom was waning for her with the necessary narr'ase lttene. Rev. Mr. Loveland. not wishing to be responsible for any delay in good Intentions, eonatnte.l lo get out of bed, and perform the ceremony tar thorn, The average policeman Is by no means an electrician, but he works under tne sur veillance of an electric macnine an inc time. The police telephone aystem Is the thing which makea the modern polloc force ao efficient and swiftly moving a safeguard to property and protection to life. The little electric lamp which he carries In his pocket snd flashes into tne dark corners of his beat Is by no means the only use the copper makes of eico- trlclty while, making his rounds. The police department has a telephone "central" of Its own In Omaha, and under her direction the wlrea make the foica, a well-connected x and dlaclpllned body in stead of a disorganised and ' acattered rtvtn r nr man. While the oollceman li pacing his rounds he steps at regular in tervmje Into a natrol box and pulls a lsver. The patrol box Is merely an arm of the electrical machine, for when the lever is pulled the police central Is notlnol that the officer Is not in troublf and needs no help. If ha does need help if he wants' the patrol wagon aent to take a prisoner he can call the station in the same way. If the captain or sergeant In charge at the atatlon has orders for him or wants to give him a description of a criminal who is to be cught imme diately the central tUs him as it was told to her. If the electric machine fallod In Its duty a six-story office building might be torn down and stolen and the police would be entirely unaware of it. v How to' Catch Burglars. The layman, too, uses electricity to ask aid of the bluocoats. There are not many private burglar alarms in Omaha, but the telephone is an ever present help in trouble. When Mrs. Jones Is pulling Mra-Brown's hair out by tha roots all Mrs. Brown's little girl haa to do to bring help Is to call Douglas 17ft and tell the desk sergeant. Information of all accidents, crimes, violent deaths and fires comes to the police sta tion over the telephone and it la by tele phone and telegraph wlrea that different parts of the department in one city and tha departments of different cities ara able to communicate quickly with each other and forestall criminals when they try to escape. If It ware not for tha quick ac tion possible through electrical devices ths science of catching evil doers .would not be so thoroughly successful aa It ia today and tha professional criminal would not have so wholesome a respect tor tha en forcers of the law. It is very generally believed that - every large bank In Omaha has a very elaborate and sensitive system of burglar alarms which would give Instantaneous warning to the police it anything should be tampered with. This, howsver, is not the case. Not a bank in Omaha has an automatld bur glar alarm of any kind. If a "yegg" man with a stick of nltro-glycerin and a sharp toothed "Jimmy" should go to work some night on tha safety vault of ona of tha big banks he might work all night with out ringing an electrio bell or giving the police any tip that ha waa thera. The worst of It, however, for tha poor hard working safe, slows is tha faot that he would hava to work all night to make an impression on a modern burglar proof safe. and even then he would bo vary far from reaching the valuables Inside the steel box. Tha scienca of building vaults is now so well developed that blowing a good ona ia practically an impossibility. As' one promt nent Omaha banker said, "You may worry ror rear that your safe la not burglar proof, but if the lock gets out of order it usually takes a locksmith about a day ana a half to open it up." Watchmea Vao Signals. Electricity plays an Important part in the system by which banka are watched at night. By means of electrio signals the night watchmen keep the world outslds Informed that aU Is well and little electrio hella ara depended upon to bring help whenever it Is needed. Aa ha makes bis rounds the watchman touches bells at dif ferent points at Intervals of time varying from fifteen mlnutea to a full hour. Tha bells conn.ee with a central office down town and it la the duty of tha force there to keep close record of the reports from each bank. If tha watchman doea not send tn his notification -at the usual time a messenger is Immediately sent out by the central office to ascertain tha trouble. The bank la visited, , and if tha bell la merely out of order the police ara not notified 1n any way, but if the watchman has failed to touch his button because of trouble or unaccountable absence., tha station called. The burglar alarm of most of the tanks then is human, but electricity is used to keep In touch with the police. When the United Statea National bank was housed at Twelfth and Farnam it had one ct the regular automatic alarms. The big safe was so connected with an electric current that any attempt to tamper with any part of It, when the alarm waa set, started to ringing a gong which hung out side the building. For several years while thla system waa in use It was quits the usual occurrence for the Inhabitants of the Twelfth and Farnam street neighborhood to be wakened from sleep at all hours of the night by the pounding of this gong, and an Investigation usually discovered line trouble. The gong would keep on ringing, for It was set to go for fifteen minutes at least whsn once !t was started. The United States National did not take tha alarm along when It moved Into the Six teenth and Farnam atreeta location, as It did not fit ths new safe and the watohman aystem Is now Installed la that bank as in all tha others. One Sneorosfol Alarm. Only one real burglar alarm Is known to exist In Omaha, and that is the one that guards tne Byron Reed collection of old colna and valuable papers In the Public Library. In the display cases In the one room where this collection Is plsoed are hundreds of dollars worth of rare old gold silver and copper pieces, and they are by no means of value only ito the numismatist. for some of them are heavy disks of solid gold. With the old coins ara also a Tiumber of coins which, could still be offered for legal tender at their face value. Buch a treasure house is. of course, a tvmpttxMon to light Angered gentlemen, but those that know leave the colna carefully alone. A touch on the lock of one of the cases or a, window rained at night would aet bella tn ringing in tha building to warn the nl(fit watchman and before the robber was swtre that ha had touched an alarm ' the ?atrot wagon would Toe on Ita way from th potce atatlon as an atuomatlo connection y made there whenever th wlrea mrm tnifA tk.

Bohola Making Headwar. That tha military situation In Temen is unsatisfactory appears clearly by the fact that tha most optimistic letter which has arrived from the front during the last few weeks, merely .expresses tha belief that Falsi Pasha and his force will ba able to hold Sanaa till the arrival of reinforce ments, which were so insistently demanded by tha commander of tha Temen field force. Tha Idea that tha appearance of these re inforcements on tha scene of action can hava any permanent effeot on the. issue of tha campaign ia scouted in Syria, where It ta believed that tha Iman Yahya Will at most retire before tha new forces into tha mountains and thence conduct a haras sing guerilla campaign , till the inevitable wastage of tha Turkish armies enables him to take tha field with a better chance of suooess. ' Moreover, It is Improbable that tba Turkish forces, as at proeent organised and equipped, can ever force thetr more mobile opponents Into action In the open, while the rebels in their own mountains ara now considered to be tactically equal, if not superior, to the Turks. The utter Inefficiency of the coast blockade, Or rather watch, conducted by a few superannuated gunboats and customs craft, enables ths contraband trade m arms and ammunition between Yemen and Massawah, Jibuti and other ports on ths west coast of the Red sea to ba carried on with tha minimum of risk. Many thousand rifles and large quantities of ammunition hava been cap. tured during the campaign, and tha shoot ing of tho Insurgents is said to be far more accurate than that of tha majority of tha Turkish troops, whose musketry training, aa a rule, begin a and ends with tha manual exercises in the handling of an empty rifle. Tha deficiency In the ammunition supply, which has caused Faisj Pasha great anxiety, la now being remedied by large indents on tha reserve ammunition of tha First (Constantinople) and Seoond (Adrl- anople) army corps, but the disorganisation of the transport, the utter breakdown of tha understaffed and 111 equipped medical service, and the Indifferent morale both of officers and men, militate far more seri ously against Falsi Pasha's chances than the notorious weakness of his troops In tactics and musketry. According to all Indication the war may last for years. - PERSONAL- PARAGRAPHS. R H. Shsln of Oakdale, H. H. Walllng ford of Fremont and O. 8. Cramer of Boone are neon arrivals at the Merchanta.

Th alarm went off before he could reach anything of value and he,DR was forced to run. A second rubber se creted hlmsrlf In the building and when night came cot through a panel "of the door to the treasure room. But when ho went to turn the lock with his arm thrust through the hole the alarm, charged with Its electric energy, bgsn to ring and he. too, fled. The only man who was caught waa bold enough and original enough to deserve a better fate. In the daytime, be fore tlie very eyes of the attendant, ho covered hla hands with a nnwspaper and tried to saw around a lock. He was much chtufrlned when tho Jarrttor of the building stepped up behind him quietly and put him under arrest and he found the patrol wagon already drawn up at the entrance to receive him. The little electric machine had done Its work so quietly and so well that even the attendant did not know It until the arrest was made. One attempt at burglary frustrated by this alarm ended In a tragedy, for the robber, realising after he had smashed In the glass In a caae that ha could not escape, killed himself rather than face punishment. The last at tempt, which occurred last winter, was the only successful one. The robber held up the night watchman In the basement and then went upstairs to rifle the collection. By the time he had gnthered together a little more than $100 In modern American money the watchman, Gua Peterson, leaped through a second-story window and gave the alarm to the fire department station across the street. The burglar, however, heard the commotion and made good his escape. An addition to the safeguards for this valuable collection Is now being planned in the shape of a door of Iron, burglar proof and fire-proof. Even without Iron the electrio machinery has been a most efficient and faithful guard. Fire Alarm System.- Electricity is as much an Important factor In the action of the fire department aa It Is in the system of the police. Electricity is charged with responsibility for some fires. With lightning and crossed wires and faulty Insulation It might seem that the Are department would avoid electricity instesd of making use of It. Every modern lire alarm Is ejectrlo. In Omaha there are three kinds In use, the telephone, the Are boxes and the telegraph system. Douglas 37 on - the Omaha exchange Is used for giving Are alarms and for no other purpose. The girl whose duty It Is ta take cars of calls over that wire does nothing else all day long but wait for Area Bhe cannot read, nor sew, nor talk, but must hold herself in complete readineas all the time, although whole days pass frequently without an alarm. When Doug las ST is called she notifies the ermine house whose duty it Is to care for the call and the other houses well. By means of an electrical machine she opens the doors to the stalls where the horses are kept In the engine house and they are released, By the time the man who hitches them Is on hand they ara In their places. The ringing of the big gong arouses the men if they are asleep and by means of the useful electrio Impulse a response to an alarm In an up-to-date engine house Is almost In stantaneous. In a minute after It comas In the wagons and trucks are started. Formerly it was a part of the system tn Omaha for the bed clothes which covered tha sleeping men at night to be snatched from them when the gong was rung, for every second is precious. ' Inier-Honso Telegraph. . Connecting all of the engine houses in Omaha tn a chain is a telegraph system by which signals and messages can be given. By means of these electric instru ments the different houses can oommunt cata with each other. Calls for help and reports can be sent in a code of signals adapted to the purpose. The Morse code Is not used. These wires are tested once an hour, as are also the telephone con nectlons, to see that they are in the best Of order. Tha fire boxes which ara stationed at prominent corners - on nearly all of the streets In Omaha are, of course, electric. The boxes are locked and the keys placed in nearby houaes in ths residence districts, to prevent the troublesome schemes of small boys, but in the business section they can be opened with a twist of handle. Some of them are fitted with little glass doors, which must be broken before the alarm can be given. All that Is necessary is the turning of a crank and the Information as to ths location of the box is transmitted automatically to every engine house In the city. The turning of the crank operates a small wheel, which Is fitted wth small projections on the rim. Upon ona of these projections rests flexible piece of metal and a current Is transmitted through the metal piece and tba projection into the wheel which makes ths circuit. The projections are arranged at Irregular Intervals. If, for instance., the box was No. 17 there would be ten pro Jectlons, three of them close together. In one group, and then seven In another group with an Interval between. As the wheel turns ths circuit Is broken every time a projection touches the flexible metal piece and is turned off again. Each time the circuit Is broken the gong is rung, soj the turning of such a wheel would rtrag the gong ten times, three rings close to gether, an Interval and then seven clone together. Thus the number Is trans mltted,' three seven, thirty-seven Only the prefeotion of electrlcsl devices could make tha Are department and the police department as useful aa they are to the modern city. The town marshal or the volunteer hose company may get along without electricity, but the modern fire fighters 'and bluocoats caniirat. from Vacation!. F. S.
