EI.ctrie Viscal Police signals,

The new electric visual police signal system has been thoroughly tested at New Haven and the results are so sat- isfactory that number of the signal boxes have been ordered for the use of the London (Eng) police. The diffi- culty in police signal systems has hitherto been that while the officer on patrol could immediately communicate with headquarters, the latter was never sure of being able to attract the atten- tion of the officer on patrol, especially at night In the new system the tele- graph and the telephone are united, and the officer at the desk can attract the attention of and communicate with any policeman in any part of the city, and no matter how far away he may be. By the touch of an electric button at head quarters a red globe is made to rise from inside the alarm box. At night this change of color can of course be seen on the street for long distance, and during the day a colored signal will be equally conspicuous The patrolman on his beat is thus notified that com- munication with headquarters is de- sired, and he promptly responds through the telephone. The patrolman on his beat can also summon assistance from any adjoining beat by opening the iron pignaling box and releasing the arm- ature which controls the movements oi the colored glass.-N. Y.

New Style of Door Lock.

The latest invention in door locks is one which can not be opened from the outside by pliers or skeleton key if it Is locked on the inside, and for this req son is especially valuable for hotel rooms and inside doors of buildings generally. It has double bolts, one above the other. The lower one is used to lock the door from the outside. It's keyhole does not go clear through the lock. neither does the keyhole of the bolt that locks the door from the inside. When the door is locked on the inside there is no means of reaching the key or the keyhole of the inner bolt from the outside of the door. This lock is being extensively used on the Pacific coast in all new hotels.-Detroit Free Press.

DE LEUvILLE'S LATEST.

The NIarquis's Explanation as to the De-
 laycd Duel.
 LONDON, Sept. s. Tho Marquis do Leuvine has not as yet made much capital by his latest advertising scheme of the duel.
 At present he is carrying on lively bombardment of the newspapers and his friends, taking Boulogne as his base of operations, and firing from that city hail of paper pellets by telegraph, purporting to give the reasons for the delay in the deadly combat. The latest excuse is that the doughty Marquis's g adversary is so disabled by the blow dealt him by De Leuville in their Lon don quarrel, that he has begged for a truce in order to repair damages and get into fighting trim.

Dr McGlynn and Henry George do not now speak. A few days ago the single tax advocates held conference in New York and adopted n platform to the effect that all men were created equal, and that all revenues for national. state and municipal purposes should be raised by single tax upon land values, ire spective of improvements. One of the most striking incidents of the meeting was the way in which Dr McGlynn was deliberately and pointedly snubbed by Henry George. The ingratitude of this is striking. when all that the priest gave up for the man who now slights him is remembered. For him and his theories Dr McGlynn abandoned his sacred call ing, his old friends and associations, everything that made life pleasant and crowned an honorable career in the min istry. Mir George is still the hero of the hour in political reform, and the excom- municated priest sits unnoticed among the crowd in the hall. with none of the leaders-his former flatterers and the encOuragers of his insubordination-to do him even a little reverence. The moral of this fickleness of popular favor is sad, but instructive.

Did Mir Lincoln imagine that such a state of things would ever exist at his home when he spoke of "a government of the people. by the people, for the people?' The forces which have worked this result at the home of Lincoln are felt over the whole land. The mort gages are being gradually foreclosed.

There is comparatively little doing

The opening of the new electric lines

realty market squirt. and from thence
on a good trade is generally anticipated

dent intention on the part of citizens to
keep the city railway company up to its
contracts requiring the new electric
lines completed and in operation
by the 1st prox. How this is going
to be accomplished is a mystery to
those who have travelled over the new
lines and noted how far the work mas
progressed. There is possibility that
the University line and the West Sew
enth street line may be completed, but
the work on other lines is so far incOm-
plete that it is certain they cannot be
operated on the date required by con-
tract. The railway company claim that
the work has been hampered owing to
the difficulty in securing material.
There is much truth in this. The fac
