Is THE NEW LIGHT sAFE9
Questions Raised by the Fatal shock
at the 1Op of n Telegraph Pole.
From the New York Herald.

| From the New YORK Herald.
"Have you felt apprehensive of danger from
the many and necessarily increasing number of
wires for the electric light in this city," The
question was put to DR.. Frank H. Hamilton after
brief chat about the death of Joseph Stamans
the lineman who was Frustrated at the top of a
telegraph pole.
This is subject" DR.. Hamilton replied. ito

am wholly unprepared to say to what extent
the wires may be sources of danger have had
an impression. however. in common probably
With most other citizens that they woud
prove the sources of danger under certain
circumstances when introduced into pri-
waite dwellings or public buildings; but
10 rot know that, far as either such
buildings or the persons occupying them are
concerned. the protection may not be made COM
plete- 1t has seemed quite certain, however,
that 1remen would be particularly exposed, in
asmuch as they would be compelled more or less
to handle the wires in the dark when their
hands were wet. and when. the wires being
broken. 10y iHcautiouS or accidental handling OF
the opposite eXtrem:tieS Of the broken wire they
might complete in their persons the circuit and
thus receive the full force of the electric current
1t will not do to say in reply to this that eau
tiOus and intelligent fireman could avoid these
risks. No human being can be cautious or in
telligent under all possible circumstances in
which he may be placed This is sufficiently
shown when railroad engineers or conductors,
known to be intelligent and of long practical
experience, commit errors, exposing not only
the lives of their passengers but their own
equally have a conviction. therefore which

wires should be submerged in the earth or in
some other way be removed from all chance of

Are the effects of the electric current OBJ
tanned from the wires likely to be permanent
when not fatal ?" was the next inquiry.
IF the body" the doctor answered. sis not
interposed as part of the complete circuit-as
for example. when wet hand is placed upon
what is known as live WIRE or wire con-
veying the current-the person may receive
shock that will contract his muscles with great
violence and throw him TO the ground. By the
contraction of the muscles of the hand, how
ever, he may be fastened upon the wire and
thus suspended. \ shock like this would be
exceedingly painful, but would not, l think.
cause death usually. unless the person were to
slip from the wire and fall to the ground. If,
again. the person weretO seize upon the Oppo-
site eXtremities of broken wire. and thus re-
establish the circuit by his own body fatal
shock would be inevitable. Injuries which do
not cause death and which are sufficiently severe
to produce temporary Inconsistencies might
no doubt, sometimes result in a permanent
paralysis or in some other form of nervous dsa-
bility."

LUCKY HOP GROWERS.
The Highest Prices Ever known, and
Ale and Beer Going Up.

The hop market has never before, according
to old dealers, been SO excited as it is now, and
prices are unprecedentedly high. When it was
certain that the hop harvests in England, Bohe-
mia, and, in fact, throughout Europe, were not
up to half the ordinary production, English
brewers and hop dealers at once cabled to the
United States to secure a very large share of our
hop crop, and some six weeks ago actually Sc
cured a quantity estimated at One-fourth of all on
hand, even buying the ungathered hops in the
fields. The price ran up in four days from SO
cents pound to IS cents. Ever since then it
has been steadily advancing until it has reached
S3aS9 cents, and choice lots have been sold for
80 cents

The Rubber Corner"
MANUFACTURERS TO REDUCE CONSUMPTION,
ETC.

The rubber manufacturers of the United
States continued their session in New York
on Thursday. About GO manufacturing firms
were present, representing a capital Of over
$50. .0o0, 900. The rubber boot and shoe man.
ufacturers, with one exception, signed an
agreement to close their factories on Decem-
%. and to reopen only when the price of
crude rubber is sufficiently reduced to war
rant, and four -fifths of the other manufacture
ers agreed to reduce their consumption of
crude rubber bv 25 per cent, and not to re.
sumo their present consumption until the
reduction in crude rubber will warrant il.
the time to be decided by meeting of man.
ufacturers called for the purpose A plan is
also under consideration for starting rub
ber importing company with a capital Of
5000. 600.
The agreement was signed by all present
except the representative of the Star Rubber
Company. The agreement was placed in the
hands of committee to obtain the signature
of any manufacturer not present at the meet
ing. with instructions to report on November
whether sufficient signatures have been
obtained 10 make the agreement binding.
There are three manufacturers already who
will not sign unless the Star company signs,
and the success of the project is conditional.
A manufacturer said "The corner is partly
natural one, for, where there used to be
surplus of 1000, 900 to 5000, 900 pounds, tho
supply is now used up, and the price ad-
vanced naturally.
Last year rubber rose from SO cents to
81. Is pound, and there was no kick at all.
This fall il goes from % cents to 81 20, and
there is great kick. look to see rubber
selling at So before long. You see the de-
mand for manufactured rubber articles of all
kinds is greatly increasing, and the produc-
ton is limited. But, il rubber goes up to %
pound, it will advance the price of over
shoes only from five to seven cents q pair"
At the Office of w r. Grace & Co., a report

A Girls Work at Home.

Give the girls chance. They need

for any particular work, educate them for 1t
and let them do it, even if it necesstates the
hiring of girl to take their place in the
kitchen. In this way the practical value Of
girls is apt to be realized; there is nothing
convincing as an appeal to the pocket
book. If the daughter shows no special
inclination toward any particular branch Of
industry, but to serve and save at home, pay
them for their work. 1t amounts to the same
thing in the end; you buy their clothes for
them, and you pay for them, and they make
their own purchases: in reality, their greatest
gain is in independence, in self-reliance, in
good judgement in purchasing, in decision Of
character. They are personally interested
in spending their earnings wisely and
economically, and in making every dollar do
its duty. 1t is not calculated to foster ones
self-respect to be obliged to ask of a father
or mother money for every postage stamp.
