ELECTRICITY is yet in its infancy, in
the various uses to which it can and is
likely to be applied. As a motor for
running railway cars. light machinery
and other practical appliances it has
been tested to satisfaction, but it is as
an illuminatOr that it is best known in
the past few years. From papers read
in the late Convention of Scientists it
was demonstrated that it had been
used for domestic purposes in private
dwellings, and so simple and perfect
that it could be used at any time in
any or all parts of the house and regu-
lated with as much ease as the graperv
or hOt-hOuse. OF course it will be for
some time only used in the establish
ments of the rich, hut a writer who has
observed its rapid advancement pre-
diets that it is not only possible. but
probable that the cooking in our
Kitchens, the study in our libraries, all
the labor and play of our households.
will, before the dawn of the twentieth
century, be done under the mellow
light of electric lamps"

SECRETARY FOLGER's death is gen
orally attributed to the cares of his
Office and goes far to contradict the
prevalent impression that such offices
are mere sinecures. He disregarded
the wisdom of Herbert Spencer's SER
mon on "The Gospel of Relaxation" +"
and thus became victim of excessive
nervous tension from the burdens
which he inflicted on himself. He
took upon himself all the responsible
ties of his Office and shared it reluct
antly with his subordinates. Such was
the weight of official cares growing out
of a sensitive nature and concern lest
something might possibly go wrong,
that he became slave to detail, and
wanted to see every telegram, letter
and voucher himself, if possible. Sec
retary Folger was without stain in
his official life, and was thus an exam
pie of the highest type of American
craftsmanship, but he went too far in
sacrificing his life to possible derelic-
tion of duty among his subordinates.

THE State of Maine was the first to
lead OFF, more than a quarter of a cen
tnry ago, against legalizing the sale of
alcoholic drinks as a beverage. The
law has had its cups and downs" as
such laws always have, and while it
did not prohibit in all places. notably.
IN several of the larger cities, it has in
most OF the places in the State and has
been steadily gaining ground in the
favor of the people. Up till the pres
ent the law has been simply statutory:
at the election last week the question
came before the people as an amend
ment to the Constitution itself to pro-
hiDiG the manufacture and sale of in
toXicating drinks in the State. and if
was carried by a majority of 10000
This shows the sentiment of the peonla
as to its value in eradicating the vice
of drink. The question of the adop-
ton Of the amendment did not enter at
all into party politics; it was voted
Tor and against by both Republicans
and Democrats. The people of Maine
regarded it as local issue aside from
those dividing the two parties. Mr.
Blalne's course in not voting for or
against it has caused some comment
but ne argued he was more than a citi-
zen of Maine, he was a candidate to he
voted for in every State in the Union
and to vote would be compromising
MS political friends on a subject that |
was not IN their platform and had not
yet assumed the Importance of a
national question as between the two
political parties. He of course was
charged with " lodging and his not
voting was unsatisfactory to manv
temperance men, but he was worldly
wise enough to know, as he was
already being eargicatured as the
tetotaller drinking only out of the
old oaken bucket to influence the
Deer drinking Germans that he wonId
be gratifying his political enemies to
VoIe either way. 1t is another eyi-
1ehce OF the charge often made AGAINST

loose from the train. and direct the |
