Blighted By Prospec tiye Wealth.

Blighted BIZ Prosp,. tive Wealth.
The suicide at Buffalo Of young Mr..
Dickson, the son and heir OF a wealthy,
and aristocratic widow who lived in
that city, again illustrates the blight
ing influence which wealth, or the i'm.
mediate prospect OF wealth, often
brings. The facts are thus gwen:
In a few years at most Mr.. Dickson
would have come into an estate worth
$l,OOo, 900 or more. He knew this,
ior ne had been reared in luxury and
frequently told OF the fortune which
ne would eventually inherit, and the
knowledge appears to have been the
rea! cause OF his ruin. Never without

December 8, a year ago, he, married
her, only to desert her before O. six
months had fled. Out of this grew
suits and counter.suits among the
friends Of both, no settlements having
been arrived at until the day Of the
suicide. The fact that any comprom-
Use had been agreed upon was unknown
to young Dickson when he swallowed
the fatal dose OF poison, aud it is
claimed that he would not have tax

.Incandescent Lights.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
There are 1859 incandescent electric
lights in use in the Picayune building,
and the voices of the employees are
unanimous in their favor. They are
light d by merely turning a key, and
they do not throw out the intense
heat of the gaslights, which is respon-
sible for so much headache. Their
light is superior, being soft and steady.
In tact, one OF them is equal to two
gas-burners of the same capacity.
That is the satisfaction afforded by
them produces such an impression.
The Brush Electric Light Company is
increasing it's plant, and will shortly
introduce q system Of storing
electricity, by which the SER
vice will be made indepen-
dent Of accidents in the operation
OF the machinery at. the central
office. The light is to. be placed in
Christ Church and in various public
buildings. It needs only to be seen to
be appreciated, and will advertise and
introduce itself to the general use of
the people without any special effort
on the part OF the corporation.
A single visit to the Picavune Office
at night will convince the most obsti-
nate disbeliever in electric lightning
that this wonderful science has made
great bound ahead. The superiority
of electric light we have fully tested,
both as to illumination and conven-
fence. The complaint used to becom.
mon in the days of our grandparents
that the oil lamps were a nuisance,
always dropping disagreeable remind
ers of their ineffaceable character on
the carpets. dresses at parties, etc. The
gas which superseded them has been
used for its convenience rather than
for it's superior quality.
The incandescent electric light is q
cold, white, steady light, which COM
pares with the gas as the steady light
OF the sun pouring through clear at
mosphere does with the hurtfuI glare
Of q great conhagration in the night.
The employees of the Picayune con-
gratulate the introducers OF the new
light.

A DRUMMERS ESCAPADES,
He Lives in Boston in Style and
Has Three Devoted Wives.

mas InFee devoted wives.
Boston, Sept. 19.-James T. Heating, a
drummer for a New York house, came
here a few months ago from Gotham.
When he came to Boston be determined
to furnish himself room such as no hotel
could hope to equal. With this purpose
be interviewed some of the city's promi-
nent furniture manufacturers, and a
firm was selected to fill his
order. In gOrgeously furnished
apartment, at No. IS Cazenove
street, Heating soon afterward received
his friends and held pleasant ievees. Then
he began attending DR.. Swett's church.
His gentIemanly demeanor won for him
many friends, and it was not long before
he had made himself solid with the promi-
nent pillars of society. When he became
short of funds he called upon his church
friends, and some of the members on be
ing asked for temporary loan loOsened
their purse strings, little thinking that
the loan in reality would be a permanent
one.
To young lady connected with the
same church Heating paid marked atten-
tiOn, and to supply mis- temporary wants
she loaned him jewelrv on which she
claims he obtained 1925. How large an
amount OF money Heating obtained
| haps be known, as the members would
rather quietly bear their loss than be in
any way identified with the case. 1t was
not through his misdoing in connection
with the church, however, that Heating
came to grief When Special officer Hoff-
man, of the Fourth division, placed him
under arrest last Thursday afternoon,
1T was on a complaint charging him
with conveying property held under
| conditional contract. At the time keat-
ing furnished his room he paid only $3S.
! The remainder, SIT, he was to pay on the
installment plan. 1t was a greed thatthe
property should not be removed without
the consent of the owners. In November
last Heating again became short of money
and he mortgaged the furniture to Cyrus
y. Campbell In consideration of 800.
Later he obtained a loan OF $25 on some
| portion of it from Proctor e. Woodman,
whore Heating said yesterday the goods
were stored.
According TO the officers the defendant
has three wives, one at New Haven,
! Conn, with three children; one. Helen
Alexander, TO whom be was married in
Lynn, in 1888, and another, Lulu Char
ters, a Lowell dressmaker, whom 1t is
said he married in 1884. The latter has
been with him in this city during the sum.

spending a vacation at seaside resort.
