Electric Motors in Eurone.

Though it is well known that the transmits.
sion OF power by electricity in England has
made little progress as compared with the
enormous extent to which it has been de-
veloped in this country, we are hardly pre-
pared to learn from SO good an authority as
Professor Ayrton, that in the whole of Great
Britain there are hardly 100 electric motors at
work at the present time, as compared with
5000 at work in this country. It would be
difficult to prove, we think, that the much
abused English electric lighting act is entirely
responsible for this state of backwal dness.
and we are confirmed in this opinion ty the
very neat definition which Professor Avrton
has given Of the difference of the term .in-
ertia," as looked at from the English and
American standpoints As Professor Ayrton
puts it, inertia, from the foreign standpoint.
ts q resistance to motion, y whereas, looked
at from the American standpoint, it means
resistance to standing still"
Thus, while our English cousins boast that
they are ahead of us SO far as science is con-
cerned, and even assert that their machines
are better than ours, the fact remains that
while they are waiting for developments and
improvements we 60 ahead and attain our
ends by actual experience, and thus, SO far
as actual results are concerned, ascertain the
best practice, not by speculation, but by
work. And in such results, indeed. is en-
bodied the final test of everything. However
well theory may indicate results, it is only by
actual experience that the true value of anv
system or device can be ascertained; and
though trial and failure may be in the first
place more expensive way of obtaining this
true value, it certainly has the advantage Of
getting at results quickly, and in shape
which mere speculation could never reach

6ome CURIOUS People Who Seek Advice
from New York Police Ohacials.
There are number Of eocentric individual
who may correctly be termed ..Police Head
quarters cranks, who never enter the build.
ing. Among these are two women, gener.
ally very we'll dressed, who have made it .
practice for several years past to promenade
up and down in front Of the building at cor
tain intervals Of the day. They are seen to
look up at the windows as if jealous of the
occupant, all the while mumbling to them
selves. Any attempt to get information
from them they strongly resent, and the
mystery as to Who they are or where they
hail from is as impenetrable as any cavern Of
Cimmerian darkness Even On wet days
these women present themselves, and there
are those around headquarters who say the
women even did their promenade act on
blizzard day.
An old man, whose hair was whitened by
about seventy summers, entered the building
some nights ago. He inquired Of good
Deacon" Moore where he could find the in
spector. When he met that official, he told
tale as mournful as it was, perhaps, full Of
the essence of common sense. He said he had
bowed at the shrine of Mozart, had enjoyed
the strains of Mendelsohn's popular
Col. Simm's orchestra, but he could
not stand the hand organ Could not the in
spector in some way suppress the nuisancea
The genial police official promised to do what
he could, and the old gentleman joyfully
hurried away. He had hardly got outside
the shadow of the building when an elderly
woman entered. She was as loquacioue as q
mocking bird and as emphatic as campaign
speaker. The old lady eaid she lived next
door but one to a church, and the ringing Of
the bells in the early morning hours had
much annoyed her. She claimed it robbed
her Of many hours sleep, and she had be-
come so annoyed by the continual ringing
that she had crossed over the channel separ-
ating Christianity from lnfldelism and was
now cohort of Ingersoll. All this change
she attributed to the effect of the bell, and
she had called on the inspector in the hope
that his interference might save other Chris
tian women from adopting the alternative
she had.
Perhaps the most curious of all the eccentric
individuals is the middle aged man who has
an idea that he owns the City Hall building
and park, and who parades this intelligence
to any and all who will listen to him. He
says the property was willed to him many
years ago by q deceased relative, and that he
intends soon to send in bill for rent to the
city, whom he considers his tenant This
crank lounges about the steps of the building,
and his face is familiar one to those who
have business there He dresses well. and
seems always supplied with abundant lucre.
1t is said he has been preaching in this wise
for many years past, and that his relatives
are persons powerfully high up in the politi-
cal affairs of the city.-New York World.

The Cat Craze Coming,

Recently Queen Victoria has contracted
the habit OF carrying her household cats
along with her when she moves from one
castle to another. The transportation Of
cats has. therefore, become quite fashion
able craze in England, no family Of the least
pretensions considering it in good form to
appear at railway station without an am
pie basket containing the domestic felines
The apins Of royalty even in the most alb
sured and silly customs is one Of those things
that is not destined to die out soon. Of
course the cat craze Is liable at any moment
to invade the ranks Of our American
nobility. Il Baltimore Herald.

DENVER, Feb. 27.-No little surprise
was created here late last night by the ar
rest of Senator Tabor, proprietor of the
Tabor Grand opera house, and w. T..
Carleton of the Carleton Opera company,
by order of Mayor Lee, charged with
having violated the city ordinance by Civ
ing a sacred concert at the opera house
last night.
The city ordinance prohibits the giving
of performances OF any kind on Sunday
night in which any acting is done, but
makes no mention of concerts of sacred
mdsic.
When Carleton advertised his concert
for last night the mayor notified him not
to give it, but no attention was paid to
the notice, hence the arrest. Carleton
and his company left for Hastings last
night. Senator Tabor going his bond for
his appearance. Mr.. Tabor to day said
he would make a test case Of the matter
even if he had to carry it. to the highest
court in the land.
Public sentiment is with the mayor in
his cndeayors to close all variety theaters
on Sunday night, but considerable indig-
nation is expressed and the general opin-
ion is against him in his course toward
the Tabor Grand and character of the
performance given last night.

Frequent interviews occur now be-
tween Prince Bismarck and Emperor
William, due to the fact that all news
from San Reno concerning the Crown
Prince is transmitted to the Emperor
through Bismarck.
Advices from Hanoi, Tonquin, China,
state that the public stores, warehouses,
factory, several timber yards and 500
houses have been destroyed by fire in the
artisans quarters of the city. Ten natives
and one European were killed.
1t is reported that Russian garrisons on
the Prussian frontier have been rein
inforced in the last fortnight by several
brigades, which are on a war footing.

A Few Passenger Trains Run

But ALI Freight Traffic is
Abandoned.
The Great Strike.

DENVER, Feb. 27.-Nothing new in the
situation of the Burlington strike. All
engineers and firemen left their engines
promptly at 4,o'clock this morning and
quit work, and since then not a wheel has
been turned on the road for freight or
passenger traffic. At 9 this morning
Engineer Henry McCarty pulled up to
the union depot au engine and one mail
car, into which the local mail between
here and the river was thrown, and the
train left for the East on schedule time.
An engine and one car carrying local mail
from the East will arrive at the usual time
this evening.
The engineers have held no meeting
and are making no demonstration. Dele
gate Fowler, who arrived from the East on
Sunday, to-day said that the men would
do nothing towards ending the strike but
simply remain quiet and await orders
from headquarters at Chicago, He ex-
pressed himself as confident of the ulti-
mate success of the strikers, and that the
knights of Labor would in no way inter

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The CdpitaL,
whose editor is authority on army matters,
says: Il hear that Maj. Gen, Alfred H.
Terry is really going to retire from active
service when his present leave of four
months expires and that President Cleve-
land will therefore have the appointment
OF a major general and a brigadier general
In the army. Although Gen. Miles is,
as usual, making an active push for the
major generalship there is little doubt that
Brig. Gen. George Crook will be the man
selected.
He has always been a f~avorite with
Gen. Sheridan and it is well known that
Miles has failed to establish the best rela-
tons with the secretary of war and Presi-
dent Cleveland, on account of the Apache
business in 1886. There will be lively
contest for the brigadier generals place,
and probably more than half a dozen can
didates will put in their claims for it.
Several of them have been in Washing
ton already looking over the ground. 1

Sd or Col. Otis of the 10th will get the
