MIDDLETowN, March 13.-Mr. Heger, a
representative of the Edison Electric Light
Company, was In town yesterday afternoon,
and In the evening he met the board of
town commissioners In the council chamber
and offered to furnish light for this town at
the rate OF $14 per light, which Is so cents

lamps now In use here, but 1t is proposed to
add five more, making 60 in all.

cept MIR. Heger's offer. A member of the

would be central and suitable. He went to

THE LAST ACT
In the sad Life's Drama of George W
Coesweii-His Death This Morning at the
Dayton Asylum.

In the sad Life's Drama of George W
Cogsw weiI-His Death This Morning at the
Dayton Asylum.
The last sad act in the lfe's drama Of
George w. Cogswell, the veteran Little
Miami railroad conductor, and an hOnored
pioneer citizen of this city, occurred this
morning. AT $50 he passed peacefully
into eternity at the Dayton asylum, where
he was sent for treatment little over two
weeks ago. The terrible details of his re-
cent history are still vividly in the minds of
the public, and form one Of the saddest
chapters it is possible to conceive. The
tragic death of his son, his own ill-health
from sorrow, his consequent troubles with
the company which for years he had faith
fully served, his attempt at suicide in
the sleeping-car near Pittsburg, his insanity,
his departure for the Dayton asylum, all
rise in sorrowful procession at the mention
of his name. And now comes the closing
scene, the end of busy, honOred. Chris
tian life, sad in its earthly relation but
bright in the light of dawning glory.
A telephone message TO the GLoBE-RE-
PUBLIC from the authorities of the asylum,
states that his death was peaceful though
unexpected. He has not been confined to
his bed since coming to the asylum, but Oh
the contrary, has been able to go to his
meals, and as late as this morning sat up on
the bed and spoke to those in attendance.
For two days past it was evident that death
was not far away, but yesterday he was
able TO walk about Last night he asked
for drink of water and it was given him.
DIR. King, superintendent of the asylum,
DIR. Wynn, of the medical staff
of the institution, and two
nurses were present at his death-bed. The
immediate cause of his death was softening
of the brain incident to senile insanity. He
was not much emaciated, DIR. Wynn says
and presented natural and peaceful ap
pearance.
He has been rather violent since he be
came an inmate of the asylum, and it tool
the shape of a resistance to all the attend
ants tried to do for him. He often refused
to eat anything and had frequently to b
carried TO his meals by main foice.
Undertaken J. l.. Coleman left today fo
Dayton to take charge of the remains, ant
will return with them at $3.50 this evening
The time for the funeral has not yet beer
fixed.

osJEcTINc THE SALARIES.
A COMMITTEES VIII Inq uire Into the Work
ings Of the American Tract Society.
New York Sun

A COMMITTEES VIII Ing uire Into the Work
ings of the American Tract Society.
New York Sun.
At the annual meeting of the American
Tract society last spring. Roswell Smith
introduced and had adopted a resolution
that declared that the society had not kept
pace with the growth of the country, and
that its methods should be modified and
adapted to suit the progress of the times.
The resolution called for the appointment
of q committee to inquire into the workings
of the society and to recommend such
changes in its constitution. methods, and
manage nent as the committee might deem
..sIIaole. Justice Strong, of Washington.
was made chairman of the committee,
which was ordered to make thorough ex-
animation of the affairs of the society, and
report at a special meeting this fall or at
the annual spring meeting. The committee
was instructed To .'inclu6e in its report any
facts and suggestions regarding men and
measures which it may deem important for
the prosecution of the work of the society,
and calculated to lift it to higher plane
of usefulness and power in the future. :"
The object of this resolution, according
to the friends of some of those who wanted it
adopted, was to cut down the big salaries
of ornamental officials, or do away with
their services altogether. The reports of
the society show that about S95. .000, or
within $4,000 of the sum received in dODa-
tons, legacies, &C., is expended annually
for salaries. The hard-worked colpOrteurs
gerabout $40, 900 of this, and big part of
the remainder is paid out thus:
Business agent, $4,000; publishing secre-
tary. $500; corresponding secretary,
SS, 500; financial secretary, ZOO; treasurer,
$1,000; seven secretaries, $4,000.
The entire receipts of the society last
year, including S9s, s93, 76 in donations and
legacies, were $3.50, 356, 10. and the eXpen-
ditures S3Ss, 5SI, "a. 1t is said that the Off
GERS of the society die, but never surrender
their fat places. Justice Strong's committee
has not yet begun investigating the society's
methods. One of its inquiries will be, it is
said: Why are the officers who do the
easiest work paid the highest salaries?

WI SOtuuibuo uO0oV
has issued the following
circular, sending a copy
of it to every retail bust
ness house in their city.
Isn't the example worth
following here?
Dear Sir:
''0n about the 10th
Of December of last year
we exhibited in our north
window a painted Christ
mas scene which cost US
but a few dollars from
that date until New
Years day, when we
took it out, our show win
dow was surrounded
from morning till night
with a crowd of eager
sight seers. As an ad-
vertisement and as a
means of drawing trade
the window thoroughly
paid for itself.
"You can do something
of the same kind, if you
wiII-nor need it, if you
care to exercise the
slightest ingenuity, cost
you one single cent. You
can, with a little brain
work, contrive from the
goods you sell, a window
which will surely attract.
The question is, will you
decorateyo window for
the holidays in a novel
way so as to make our
city lively, draw trade,
and enable you to do some
of your holiday business
early in the season :? If
you will do this, people
will come out in the even
ing to look at you goods
and buy them, you will
help draw buyers from
the surrounding country,
and you will aid in max
ing not alone an absolute
novelty for Columbus, but
in making her the talk Of
the state.
I'VE are not in this
scheme to make a cent,
except as you make one,
too j; and, besides, are
out the cost Of printing
and postage on this note.
IF you think you want
to help work the idea up,
do not be afraid to send
in your name by mail, so
that we can get together
those who feel interested
and who want to accom-
pIish something
Did we mention before
that boys in Springfield
will find something to in
terest them in our show
window next Tuesday?

Up to the present time in the history OF

the nc plus ultra of literary and scholastic
achievement. In science, in literature, in
art and in history, it has no peer and no

are whole treatises, and the whole work. be-
ing well indexed, is suitable both for ready
