The Electric Club, Of New York, was
thrown open recently. At the very
threshold the visitor was dazzled with
brilliant display of electric light, and as
his foot pressed concealed lever in one
of the steps, the door flew open.
Inside, of course, every room was lit by
electricity: Electric designs are used IN
the frescoes. and maze of wires are con-
cealed In floors and ceilings and permits
a member at any moment to produce
weird displays for visiting friends. Elec-
tricity runs a stove in the house on whlch
steak may be cooked. Electricity locks
and unlocks the cashiers safe, and cleo
tricity is the invisible musician which
operates the piano. Electricity blacks
the visitors boots. A feature of the en-
tertainment was the presence OF an I'M
proved long-distance telephone, over
which the guests conversed with friends
in Boston, Philadelphia, Albany, and
other comparatively adjacent cities.

HapDy Homes.

Much has been written and said about how
to make home happy. The moralist and the
preacher have hackneyed this theme until it
would seem nothing more remained to be said.
But the philosophers have gone far out f Their
way to account for the prevalence of ill-sorted
couples and unhappy homes and have over
looked the chief cause. Most of the unhappi-
ness of married life can be traced directly to
lhos, functional arrangement, 10 which wo-
men are suject. In nine cases out of ten the
irritable, dissatisfied and unhappy wife is u

Electricity is no longer used in a hap
hazard way, as 1t was a few years ago,
but it is accurately measured out for the
work required of it, It's quantities. &c
cording to Professor William A. An
thony, being comparable to those of more
ponderable gas, oil or water. Its quantity,
measured in units called coulombs, may
be considered as analogous to pounds of
a gas or liquids potential, measured in
volts, analogous to pounds per square
inch of fluid pressure; capacity, meas
ured In farads, analogous to cubic feet of
a vessel for holding fluids; while the
strength of current, measured In am
peres, finds no close analogue in fluid
measurements, though this is perhaps the
most important of all, and furnishes the
fundamental unit of the whole system.
Another very important quantity Is the
resistance of bodies to the flow of cleo
tricity, which may be compared, quail
tatively, to the FRACTIONAL resistance
which fluids experience In flowing
through pipes and is measured in ohms.

Probably every country possesses pecu-
liar or ''slang" terms in every day use
for its coins. For instance, q ''nickel"
very well defines the five cent piece Of
currency and a ''red cent" is equally ex-
pressive. In Scotland the man who
''fies kites is probably not worth a
''boodle," which is an imaginary coin
slightly differing from the same term
here. In England the same person would
not be worth a 'mag." A ''kite'' is an
accommodation bill; a mag is the
smallest copper coin of the realm. On
the race curse n hears talk of betting
a pony" which is ee5, or winning
a monkey which Is $500. This latter,
however, Is somewhat rare.
A ''quid' only has reference to to-
bacco when the term is used by sailors.
Among landsmen it means 81. Small
gamblers play for ''bulls" and ''half
bulls" in other words, five shillings and
half crowns. Little boys occasionally
toss for ''joeys" or fourpenny pieces, and
a hanson cab driver will expect you to
tip him with a tanner" which is what
he calls a sixpence, while the common
appellation of a shilling is a ''bob."
These terms are commonly in use all over

Arrested for Murder.

L%EADvILLE, Colo, May 16.-Sherif
Crimble of Chaffec county arrived in the
city this morning, and at once returned to
Granite with James Tully. who was ar
rested here last evening on the charge of
murder by Officer Wilder. Tully was
charged with the killing of a man named
Burgh at Granite several weeks ago.
The man whom it was supposed had com
mitted the deed, disappeared at the time
and no trace of him could be found. The
police force of this city was furnished
with a description of the alleged murder
er, and instructed to keep a watch for his
apprehension here. Yesterday Officer
Wilder arrested a man whose personal
appearance tailed with the description
given of the party wanted at Granite.
The man when brought to the city Jail
gave the name of Mclaughlin, but a
search of his clothing developed the pres
ence of papers and letters bearing the
name of james Tully. When he was
confronted with the proof he acknowl-
edged that his name was Tully, but would
not say anything in in regard to the muir
der.

A e-Year-old Murderer.

MACON, Ga, May l6.-From Fancy
Bluffs, in Glynn county, this state, comes
the news of a tragedy in which a 9-year-
old boy murdered his 6 year old brother.
The father is Col John r. Williamson,
one of the most prominent men in this
section of the state. He, with his fam
lily, had just returned from a Journey and
the children were put to bed in the same
room. After they had said their prayers
Mrs. Williamson Joined her husband
down stairs.
Five minutes after they were startled
by the report of a gun in the boys room.
When Col. Williamson reached the door
the elder boy was standing in the open
door. In reply to a question what had
happened he replied, "Oh, it's all right;
nobody hurt" The father and mother
pushed into the room and on the bed lay
their youngest child, his head literally
blown to pieces. The weapon was a
heavily loaded shotgun and must have
been held within a few inches Of the
victim.
The of the youthful MUIR
derer was appalling. He admitted the
killing, but said laughingly, What's the
good Of a brother, anyway" The
brothers had always appeared to have a
great love for each other.

Belligerent Miners

L%EADvILLE, May 16.-An affair oc-
Cured this morning on the corner of
Sixth and Poplar streets, that but for the
presence OF mind of a %bYstander, might
have resulted fatally. John Coburn and
Henry Il. Fields, two miners, became in
volved in a quarrel. Nobody seems to
know the exact cause of the difficulty, but
from reliable accounts Coburn would seem
to have been the aggressor.
The trouble began with an argument
and before those present were aware of
any serious trouble, Coburn had thrown
his companion down and was betting him
about the head. Fields had a revolver in
his hip pocket which he drew, and but
for the presence of mind of a bystander
who rushed toward him, a murder might
have been committed. The pistol was
taken from the prostraCe man and two
others held Coburn until Fields could get
~. No arrests were made, but it is prob
able that they will meet again.

The Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-There is much
consultation among the Republican mem
bers of the house upon the proposition
made by Mills last week that the house
shall vote upon the Mills bill and substi-
tute to be offered by the Republicans di-
rectly upon the close of the general debate
this week and without consideration of
amendments. Up to this point no sort
of an agreement has been reached by the
Republicans and there appears to be a
wide difference of opinion upon the sub
ject. Mills says he made the offer to save
the bill from being drawn into the whirl-
pool of the five minute debate, which
might hold it in its grasp indefinitely. He
is confident his party can hold together
on the principles under which the bill was
constructed, and that all its vital features
can be preserved, although amendments
of minor importance, about which he cares
little, may be made. 1t appears that this
proposition to take a test vote, without
the consideration of amendments, was
made by the Democrats as a condition to
granting an extension of time for the
general debate. AT the time the Repub-
lican members of the ways and means
committee declined to give an immediate
answer, but took it under consideration.
Mills expects the offer to be rejected, but
it may be noted that the canvass which is
going on has revealed the fact that the
proposition is acceptable TO a considerable
number OF Republicans.
