Electric Railways.

An important feature of electric rail-
ways will be the use of their power for
many minor purposes. Not the least
valuable is the lighting of the cars by
electricity. There is no need to dwell
on the imperfections of the present sys-
tenn of lighting railway-cars. In a rev
drawingroom and sleeping cars the
electric light has been tried with sue
cess only moderate, and dynamos stop
when the train stops. Accumulators
are necessarily bulky, and, though
some progress in their use has been
made abroad, little or nothing has been
done with them here. In an electric
railway the use of the power necessary
for making the cars almost as light as
day will hardly be noticed at the CEN
trail station. Electric headlights are
coming into use; the advantages will be
gained at less cost on electric railways.
The possibility of heating cars by cleo
tricity has been discussed, but nothing
has yet been accomplished toward max
ing the cost anywhere nearly as cheap
as coal. 1t is probable, however, that
there will be a great advance in this
direction. When we have electric heat
ing apparatus, the danger from fire in
case of accident already greatly reduced
by the use of electric lights and fireless
locomotives, will be at a minimum
Already the beginning has been
made. The infant art is taking its first
steps-short, weak, tottering, to be sure,
yet full of promise of the growth to
come. Will the public stretch out a
helping handP viii the public nour-
ish the child, not for what it is, but for
what it may be in future yearsP &.
The steam railway had harder fight
to make than the electric railway has
so far had. BY its own merit it tri-
umphed at last. The child survived,
and now as man is doing good share
of the work of the world. Another
child promises in time to come to do
that work better. Shall we not give it
speedy chance to fulfill the promises?

given the climate rest for an hour,
and they were going home from Mary

A Brazilian Boycott.

When was the first boycott establish
ed and in what landP Ireland has
given currency to the word and has
made popular the system of getting even
with obnoxious officials. But long be-
fore Capt. Boycott was beleaguered in
his house by the irate peasantry whose
enmity he had incurred the some
ostracising of other landlords in other
lands had been carried into effect
Brazil is perhaps the country which
most people would consider the least
likely to resort to the boycott, and yet
in the second decade of the present
century it had a very lively and
thorough one. Some time since we'll
known gentleman, of this city, whose
business often takes him to Cuba
heard in Havana considerable talk about
an extraordinary document which the
citizens of Brazilian town had issued
against religion and its votaries on ac-
count of long an disastrous drought.
He tried hard to obtain a copy of it,
but without avail, until within few
days past, when he received clipping
from paper with the coveted curiosity.
1t is in Spanish, and the following is
a translation of it:
The official paper of the state of
Morelos copies the following decree,
published in 1920 in the town Of
Custhanas, empire of Brazil:
To THE MAYOR OF THE Town AND
DEPARTMENT OF CUsTHANAs: Whereas,
Considering that the Supreme Maker
has not acted rightly toward this prov
ince and town; that only once in the
whole of last year it rained a single
shower, and that during all this winter,
in spite of the religious professions, no
venas, and prayers, it has not rained
single drop, and consequently the crop
of chestnuts, on which this department
is dependent for its prosperity, has
been lost:
Resolved, 1. That if, in the pcrempt-
DRY term of eight days, to be counted
after the publication of this decree,
rain does not fall abundantly, nobody
will 60 to mass or say any prayers.
2. That if the drought still continue
eight days more in addition the churches
and chapels will be set on fire, and
missals and rosaries and any other OBJ
ject of devotion will be destroyed
5. That if finally rain does not fall on
a third term of eight days longer the
clerics, monks, nuns, and sanity
women will be put to death; and at
present ample time is given to every
body to count their sins of every kind
and description, that thus the Supreme
Maker will certainly understand with
whom He has to deal.
This plain avowal of direful events to
follow in the event of rain not falling
appears to have had the effect of lead
ing the clergy to heartier invocations,
for us there is no record of the whole
sale killing of these professors of re-
ligion it is supposed that the heavens
opened and the town of Custhanus was
drenched with showers. .-NeW York.

ADJUSTMENTS.
ALsBERG AND MORRISON.


Too much praise cannot be bestowed up
on the company that will present Faust
and Marguerite" at the Opera House the
coming Tuesday evening, and Measure
for Measure" on Wednesday evening. The
former piece has met with phenomenal
success and no lover of fine acting and the
art dramatic in its finest Characterization
should fail to see this piece. OF the latter
play an exchange says:
"Fnr the first tima here we have had
Sh~akespeare's Measure for Measure" 1t
was a rare treat and was enjoyed by a
good house. It's elegant costumes, histOr-
cally correct, its fine actors, its great cast,
all served to make up the grand triumph.
We knew we could depend on what was
promised by that able manager and actor,
Lewis Morrison, and he fulfilled his prom
Use in every way. 1t will be many a day
before this city will witness such q piece
of work in such able hands again.
Miss Celia Alsberg is young and
beautiful and shows careful study. Her
soul is in her art, and last night her sweet
face and her speaking eyes enslaved her
audience and won their sympathies and
appreciation. She has talent of a very
high order and in time we expect to see
her among the highest of the land. Let
her continue in her course, guided by her
able manager, and her future prosperity,
both pccuniarly and artistiCally, is GER
tainty.
Lewis Morrison was simply perfection.
His intensity, his magnetic acting, his pol
ish, his finish in the character of Angelo
will long be remembered. This great &C.
tor once appearing anywhere can never be
forgotten, and we all claim him. Then
ONE w. II. Thompson, as the light and
breezy 'LuciO,' who gave fine satisfaction
to his auditors, and here we have another
fine actor. Then again comes George
Vessels, another fine artist, and Mr.. Nor
rison's stage manager. His Claudio bar
ring a little lOudneSs was true, sympathet-
ic and with feeling. Miss Morrison played
the two characters charmingly, and is
pretty rs n picture" We cannot speak
too highly OF this powerful company of
the fine big mel and big abilities.

wARDE.

The expression that nothing succeeds
like success is amply verified in the ex-
perience of this now distinguished tragedi-
an, who appears at the Opera House on
Friday and Saturday next. Wheeling has
always appreciate | Warde. 1t wa one OF
the first cities to acknowledge by the pat
rOnage of the theater-goers that the
yong actor possessed the elements of sue
cess. Five years were required to con-
vince the general public of that fact, how
ever, but now, at the beginning of his
sixth annual tour, having appeared in
New York and been accorded a position
among the very foremost of modern trag-
edians, Mr.. Warde is receiving in all the
cities which he visits a welcome which
amounts to an ovation. His recent ell
gagements in Washington, Baltimore and
Pittsburg have demonstrated that the
theaters are not large enough to hold his
admirers, but hundreds have been turned
away unable 10 gain admission. During
his engagement here he will be seeL on
Friday night in ''Virginius," at the mat
inee Saturday in "Richelieu," and on
Saturday night in damon and Pythias."

A the conclusion OF Mr.. Davis speech,
and after the applause had subsidized Hon.
II. S. Walker was introduced to the
meeting. AS he rose and stepped to the
platform the roof fairly rang with the
enthusiastic shouts Of the assembly.
The address was one OF the most successful
efforts of this prominent speaker, so well
known, and so deservedly admired by the
citizens of Wheeling. From its beginning
to the close the utmost enthusiasm prevail
ed, and as he darted the fire of his wit at
the Republican party, Orpaintedin'glowing
and poetic language those literary pictures
for which he is so famous, his voice was
drowned by whirlwinds of cheers. After
he had finished speaking calls for PEN
dletonr' "PendletOnw were heard from
all parts of the house, and in response
Hon. John o. Pendleton stepped to the
front and addressed the meeting in q few
brief but eloquent words, stating that on
account Ofthe lateness ofthe hour he could
only make a few remarks, but spoke con-
fidently of a glorious victory on the I'd of
November. His remarks were hear
tily applauded, and after three
rousing cheers for Cleveland, BrannOn and
the State ticket, the meeting adjourned.

M,NICHOL's CONDITION.
The Physicians Perform an Operation-The
Patient Can Not be Saved.

On Friday evening Drs. Dickey and
. McMasters performed an operation upon
Arthur McNichol. An incision about
an inch long was made at the point OF
the balls entrance and in the direction the
ball had taken. They found several pieces
of bone of various sizes, which were taken
out. The fourth or fifth lumbar
vertebra had been shattered by the ball,
which caused a paralysis of the lower
limbs. The whereabouts Of the ball, how
ever, could not be discovered. The
wounded man had been subject to epilep-
tic fits years ago and the injury, deranging
his nervous system, has brought them on
again and he has experienced ten or twelve
severe commissions since receiving the in
jury.
The doctors state that it has been their
opinion from the beginning that the serious
nature Of the wound would ultimately
result in death, and it wa only a matter
of time. They performed the operation
in the hope that the ball could be found
and the patient afforded some permanent
relief, as his sufferings have been
intense. 1t is not probable that he will
hold ont more than two or three weeks at
the farthest.

A Rousing Meeting at the Capitol Rink Last
Evening.
SPLENDID SPEECHES MADE
By Senator Henry G. Davis and Secretary Of
State Walker.
THE AUDIENCE VERY LARGE,
And the Sentiments Of the Gentlemen Ap-
plaudsd to the Echo.
ATTY. GEN. CALDWELL'S EFFORT

Last evenings ~outpOunng Of the citizens
of Ohio county, irrespective Of party, at
the Capitol Rink, to listen to the speeches
made by ex-senator Henry G.. Davis and
Secretary of State Henry S. Walker, was a
splendid tribute to the elOquence, personal
qualities and distinguished public services
of those gentlemen, while, at the same
time, it showed deep interest on the
part of the public in the issues of the pres
campaign and 4 desire to learn from
the lips of those best qualified to speak
upon the subject the best way out Of those
difficulties which menace society, and the
course to take to avoid certain other
dangers, the outlines of which
can be seen on the distant
horizon by those who devote careful
thought to economic and political ques-
lions. The speeches Of both gentlemen,
necessarily somewhat lengthy, were lis
tened to from the opening to the close
with close attention, frequent outbreaks
of applause marking sentences or senti-
ments which struck the audience with
specific force. The audience was a SPLEEN
did one, and the meeting will result in q
decided awakening in political circles in
the o Panhandle, and will greatly
enhance the already bright prospects OF
Democratic success.
