Gambling dens can be wiped out of Bridgeport and they ought to be wiped out at once. The owners of the build ings who knowingly rent them for such purposes are no better in one sense of the word than those who run the games or those who hang about the dens to prey upon the gullible fools who patro- nize them. Gambling hells should be cleaned out of Bridgeport.-Bridgeport Post

Killed by Her Son.

Mrs Catherine Glynn, aged 60 years. of New Britain, ,died yesterday afternoon, it is said, from the effects of an assanlt from her son Thomas.

ELECTRIC LIGHTING BY CITIES.
A Few Figures for Our City Solons to
 Ponder Over.

Ponder Over.
 The action of the court of common council in making five years contract for lighting the city at the average rate of 39 cents per night has led the DEMO- GRAF to investigate into the matter of electric lighting and we find that the movement in the direction of the mu nicipal control of electric lights, which has heretofore been confined to the smaller cities, is now extending to the larger ones. Philadelphia, Boston, Chi cago, St Louis, Detroit and Alleghany are moving in this direction.
 Definite reports from eighteen cities which operate their own electric light ing plants regarding the net cost per night per each arc light are presented here:

The low net cost in Lyons, Ia., and ill Grand Ledge. Mich, is due to the fact that these towns own and operate com mercial wires from which they derive a profit. Five of the cities named above were supplied with lights by private en- terprise before they assumed control of their own works. The cost of each arc light per night under both systems of control is given below:

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. l5.-Bam-
berger, Bloom & Co, one of the three
largest wholesale dry goods and notion
houses in Louisville, is completely de-
stroved by fire. The loss will already
reach nearly a million and the fire is still

THREE SOLDIERS.
Portraits of Grant, Sheridan and Sher-

Some Personal Incidents in the Lie Of HON.
S. s. Cox-His Death Regarded as a
National Calamity.
A Gift to the Nation.


WASHINGTON Sept. 15.-The portraits
of Gems. Grant, Sheridan and Sher-
man which were painted by direction OF
Mr. George w. Chiids for the United
States military academy will be formally
transferred to that institution October j.
Gen. Horace Porter Will represent Nj.
ChiIds on the occasion, and will deliver
an appropriate address in presenting the
PORTRAITS. Col. John NJ. Wilson, super
intendent of the academy will receive
them. The corps of cadets Will be pa
raded and take part in the ceremonies,
which will be held in Grant
hall during the afternoon. 1t is expected
that the secretary of war, Gems. Scho-
field, Howard, Kelton, and others prom
inent in military and civic circles Will be
present at the presentation ceremonies.
These portraits were to have been pre-
sented last June but the presentation was
postponed on the request of the board OF
visitors to the academy. Gen. Lew wal
lace, who was president, was asked to
make the presentation address, but on
account of pressing engagements he was
compelled 10 decline. Therefore MT.
Childs solicited Gen. Horace Porter,
whose association with Gen. Grant and
whose personal knowledge of Sheridan
and sherman makes the selection very
proper and fitting.

Breathing and Thinking.
New York Ledger.


Let any reader think for moment OF
what he experiences when he breathes and
attends to the act. He Will find that his
whole frame heaves and subsidies at the
time: face, chest, stomach and limbs are
all actuated by his respiration. Now let
him feel his thoughts land he will see that
they, too, heave with the mass. When
he entertains q long thought he draws
a long breath; when he thinks
quickly, his breath alternates
with rapid altternations; when the
tempest of anger shakes his mind, his
breath is tumultous, when his soul IS
deep and tranquil, so is his respiration;
when success initiates him, his lungs are
as timid as his cOnceidts. Let him make
trial of the contrary let him endeavor to
think in long stretches at the same times
he breathes in fits, and he will find that
it is impossible-that in this case the
chopping lungs will needs mince his
thoughts

other Smith. They were, both society
Young men, and when Smith imagined
that Jones had insulted him, he called
in a friend, who recommended the code
as the only remedy. Smith was not par

friend, but finally challenged Jones, on
the assurance of his (Smith 81 friend
that the thing was to be arranged
so that there would be no blood
shed. The friend of the challenged
party was let into the secret and he in
duced Jones to accept. The duel was TO
take place outside the city limits, and
pistols were the weapons. Smith knew
that they were to be loaded with blank
cartridges, but Jones did not. That s

SS5That necessity exists for reform IN tu-
nerals has long been recognized-retorm
not only in the manner Of conducting
them, but in their costs. The eXtrava-
CANT outlay connected with this last SAD
rite in some sections is undoubtedly tend
ing to increase the popularity of crema-
ton as a method of dIspOsing of the dead.
In recognition of this necessity, there
seems to be a general disposition among
undertakers to discourage expensive
funerals, especially among the poorer
classes, both as matter of business and
as a part of the ethics of the profession,
so called. Costly trapDings of woe

Telegraphy in the Holy Land.

Nablus has become so far modernIzed
as to have a telegraph. But even teieg-
raphv is a very slow kind of machinery
in the East, and sorely tries the patience
of the Western mind infatuated to
methods of expedition. 4 wire
runs to Jerusalem. On the night
of arrival our dragOman desired to send
a message to the holy city for four add
tionaI guards to meet US the next
evening at Bethel. The message was
sent to the office, but returned an hour
later to our tents with the instruction
that q new one should be written, as the
paper sent contained several alterations
and erasures. A second was sent, but
this also was returned by the 1astld-
ious Turkish operator on the GROUND
that it was written on yellow paper,
and all messages must be written on
'tcIean paper. - Our guide. MOrdecat,
with considerable excitement, after eX-
pressing himself in Arabic for the BEN
eft of ears not our own, exclaimed IN
pure English: ''What the man wants
is money. The kind of paper makes no
difference. He wants TO force me to give
him something. - The message was re-
ceived at the third attempt, and cost So.
It reached its destination in time, for
on the following evening we found
our four brave guards awaiting us at
Bethel. In the East time is the cheapest
of all commodities, and money scarce.
Tourists learn, after they have YeXed
their righteous souls to WEAKNESS, to fall
into the fashion of the country and put
I'D with vexations and unnecessary de-
lays, and to pay out money where no
services are rendered. ~.
