A correspondent of the Hartford,
Come cticut Times says: THE
history of a COW raised on the farm
Of the late Erastus Ellsworth, of
East Windsor Hill, is so remark
able that it is worthy of record.
The COW is not of any one breed,
but is about three fourths Durham,
and | hardly know what to call
the other quarter. April Is, 1917,
she gave birth to twins-one male
and one female; March 10, 1873,
she gave birth to triplets-two
males and one female-making
five calves in eleven months and
three days; July 9, 1879, she gave
birth to twins-both males; Oc-
tober z, 1880, she gave birth to
triplets-two males and one fe-
matchmaking ten calves in three
years, FIVE months and twenty-one
days. The calves have all been
of good size, healthy and hand
some, and have been raised on the
farm"

Gas and Electricity.

The effect of the electric light
upon the gas companies and their
ability to control the price of street
lighting is to be tested sooner
than was generally anticipated.
The advertisement for proposals
to light the streets of New York
has brought gas and electricity
into competition; and the bids fur
nished indicate that The latter is
the cheaper light of the two. The
bids for lighting with gas ran from
$1S per lamp, per year, IN the
downtown wards, to SIS per lamp
in the Twenty-fourth ward. The
bid of the eiectric-light company
was to furnish lights Of 2,000-can-
die power each in Wall street
Broadway etc. and two elevated
groups of six lights Of 6,O00-candle
power in Madison and Union
squares, all for $4,000. Their
bid also contemplated the furnish
ing of light i'm other localities,
which would enable the city to
dispense with 800 of the present
street lamps, for $a,400 more.
The estimate is that the whole
amount of light furnished by the
electric company is brilliant sub
stitute for 2 400 of the lamps now
In use. This makes the electric
companys bid 81 go less than the
lowest bid of the gas companies.
These bids do not show, however,
the comparative cost of electricity
and gas with the defniteness which
is desirable. There is scarcely
any room for doubt that the bids
of the gas companies were made
in combination. Probably when
Edison and the other incandescent
lighters get to work, competition
between electric lighters, as well
as between electricity and gas will
be developed, and then a figure
will be reached considerably lower
than any thus far limited at. The
test has been satisfactorily made in
favor of electricity at Menlo park
at Salk Lake city it will soon be
tested fully, aud the wires and
lights for Portland, Oregon, are Ell
route from the east.

There was considerable excite
ment and much adverse comment
in Philadelphia over the failure of
Miss Anna Dickinson to appear as
Claude Melnotte according TO adj
vertisement. A large placard on
the box-office announced that Miss
Dickinson would not appear; that
another play had been substituted,
and that all who so desired could
get back money paid for tickets in
advance, of which about $400
worth had been sold. About fifty
persons returned their tickets, and
received their money. Mr.. John
Stetson, Miss Dickinson's man.
ager, states that the lady broke her
written contract with him without
one word of explanation or apol-
ogy, and that he would sue her
for damages wherever he found
her. Mr.. Stetson will in turn be
sued by the propnetors of the
opera house, and interesting legal
complications will undoubtedly
arise out of the ladys caprice.
