PLACE hunters are SO numerous in
Washington that they are seeking
pledges for appointment to territorial
offices in Alaska, in anticipation of the
passage of the bill to give that frigid
region a territorial form of government.
Perhaps it may prove n good method of
freezing out office seekers, to Danish
them to the ice bound regions Of Alaska.
But then we remember that DR.. Jack
son, the missionary, has said that there
are large valleys in that far off cline
where the temperature is remarkably
mild and 1.-THE vegetation wonderfully
luxuriant. So II the capital be located
In one of these valleys, a territorial

EDISUN'S LIGHT.
Contradictory Reports as TO It's Success
Several Lamps Broken

A reporter of the Evening Post
went out to Menlo Park yesterday and
found matters in Mr.. Edison's shops
rather at a stand-s.ill. About two
weeks ago many lamps which had been
burning beautifully suddenly went out,
owing to the breakage of the carbon
horseshoes, which have already been
fully described in these columns. Some
lamps were found to last not more than
an hour, and it was decided to suspend
their further manufa cture. Mr. Edison
is now at work trying to find out the
weak point which causes the trouble.
He thinks that the heat emitted by the
light cracks the glass at the place where
the platinum wires enter h elamp and
that air gets in. No change can be
found in any of the carbons which have
been burning for some weeks; the edges
are just the same under the microscope
as before the cartoons were put into the
lamps. At present there are fifty lamps
burning, one of which has now been in
use for nearly forty days. A new glass
blower has been engaged and modifi-
cations may be made in the lamp allow
ing for some means of carrying off the
heat emitted.
Mr.. Edison and his assistants are not
downhearted and hope to overcome the
newly discovered difficulties in time to

. The Disagreement Among the Lutheran
Congregation.

On Sunday last at congregational meet
ing IN the Central Lutheran church it was
resolved to withdraw from the Virginia
Synod of the Lutheran church. This ac-
ton was protested against by another por-
ton of the congregation who disputed the
legality of the vote taken on Sunday. The
opponents of the withdrawal from the
Synod afterwards held meeting and cleo
ted the following gentlemen Council of
the church: Messrs. Geo. w. Peace, S. s..
Shelter, FL. S. Eichelberger, A. A. Cru
bert, John Wehn, VIM. G. Brown, VIM.
Slower and e.. s. Baker. In the meantime
the locks on the doors of the church have
been changed by order of the Trustees
Messrs. VIM. E. Craig, q. s. Baker and
M. P. Funkhouser, who are among the OPP
ponents to the withdrawal from the Synod.

Messrs. Slower, Peace and Wehn as Elders
and Messrs. Grubert and Shelter as Dea-

were absent from the city and Mr.. G. S.
Baker had already been installed. On
Wednesday night, at the hour for the reg
ular evening service number of gentle
men and ladies we're present but the church
not being open, dispersed. It is rumored
that the cont rol of the church property
will be made subject for the decision
of the courts, but it is hoped that the
matter can be settled without such resort
The congregation of this church has been
one of the most active and liberal in the
State and the community generally are
earnest in their hope that it's Usefulness
may not be impaired ny internal dis
sensiOns.

humorous scenes. One weak backed Dem
ocrat spent the whole OF Tuesday with le-

that Grant would be the next President.
