DIR. REEVES of this city, represents
West Virginia in the American Public
Health Association now in tession at
Indianapolis. We clip the following
paragraph from the second days re-
port Of the proceedings:
DDr. James f. Reeves, Secretary Of the
West Virginia State Board OF Health, made
q statement Of sanitary progress in that
STATE, claiming that il possessed one Of the
most perfect sanitary systems in the Union.
The board does not confine itself 10 Sani-
tary work but also controls and regu' ates
abe practice of medicine in the State. There
are established three classes Of physicians:
First, those who are graduates of reputable
medical colleges; second, those who have
been engaged in continuous practice for
ten years; third, those who come before the
board for examination. 1t is to the m Iii
cal profession that the people must look
for sanitary reform, and only by such very
great authority, as is given the West Vir'
giuia State board, can such reform be made
effective.
Dr. Rauch, Secretary Of the State Board
of Health of Illinois, cheerfully allowed
that the work of the West Virginia Board
of Health was the best in the Union.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.

The steady progress being made in
the adaptation of the electric light to
all purposes Is very gratifying.
The Baltimore Sun has just placed
the light throughout its large newspaper
building and expresses its satisfaction
with the experiment in the following
terms:
The lights are as easily adjusted as gas
jets. There are electroliers which are cleo
trio chandeliers made especially for the cleo
trio light. The lights attached to them may
be pendant, upright or in horizontal po.
sition, and there may be two or three
lights, or in groups, or sufficiently numer-
Gus to light any space indicated. Each
light may be turned off or on at pleasure,
increased or leSSened in flame at will as is
done with gas Jet. The first is accom-
plished by simply turning thumbscrew or
button, and the second by mechanical
adjustment that increases or diminishes
the electric current. There are also portable
drop lights connected with the system not
unlike droplights connected with gas
These may be moved about upon the table,
or, indeed, to any position desired, limited
only by the length of the wire, as the gas
droplight is by the rubber tube. There are
also brackets of single or double joints for
one or more lights. These brackets are
either fixed or movable" ...
The experiment made last week to
light passenger coach on the Penn
sylvania railroad with electric light re-
suited so successfully as to give pro mise
that ere long these lights viii be intro
duced on all passenger trains on first.
class roads. The experiment was made
with the portable cells brought over to
this country from Paris few months
sgo. Thirty FAURE accumulators, as
they are called, were placed in two
boxes underneath the car, one on each
side, connected with seven incandes-
cent lamps of the EDISON pattern by
means of wires running along the sides
and roof Of the car. The apparatus was
so adjusted that all the lights or
either one OF them could be
tinguished by turning q switch in the
closet. The car was brilliantly illumi-
mated and the motion of the car going
at full speed did not cause any flicker
ing Of the light. The accumulators fur
nish supply of the electric fluid for
five hours burning, and after being ex-
hausted can be removed and recharged.
The merit of the Fsure aeumulators Is
that they furnish electricity in porta
bic shape, so that it can be carried about
from one place to smother and applied
directly where it is wanted. This

The members of the st. Louis bar,
acting upon the killing Of Mr.. SLAY-
PACK by the editor Of the Post Dispatch,
covered pretty much the whole ground
in the following resolution:
"But, EASING from the actual and to US
the rs yet unaScertainsd circumstances Of
this bloody deed, we feel 1t our duty to pro-
test sgsinst the spirit Of ruffianism which
is abroad, the wanton employment in
speech OF writing of incorporate, icentious
and defamatory language, the resort on
frivolous pretextS TO deadly weapons, and
the encouragement of a sentiment which
may impel q sensitive spirit to throw away
life in the demonstration that death is not
feared"
The revolver is an invention Of civili-
zation; its common use Is an indication
Of barbarism. AS weapon convenient
to proteet'life and property its use is at
times legitimate and proper; but when
1t Is resorted TO as means for ending
petty quarrels it becomes aninstrument
ofmurder, and persons Of qusrrelsome
disposition carrying revolvers are q
menace to the peace of society. .-

The exultation of the West Virginia Re
publicansi over the election of Golf is bound
less and absurd. When we consider that
it was not the result of any change in the
political sentiments of the voters Of the
district, but the result of the default OF the
Democrats who, in fancied security, staid
away from the polls, and that all this is well
known to the Republicans.
