AS THE Thomson Houston company is
operating in many Texas towns the fol-
lowing from an Eastern paper will be
read with interest: "From information
now at hand 1t would seem as though the
minority stockholders in the Thomson
Houston company are to.be treated to
surprise party of large dimensions within
a short time, always provided there be
not hitch in the proceedings, and the
man who is most particularly interested
II the deal is Mr.. Henry Willard of New
York, who is said to be at the head of a
syndicate to control the stock. Mr.. VII
lard, it may be stated in passing, is the
head of the sprague motor company,
and, with his associates, has long been
casting envious eyes in the direction Of
the Thomson Houston company's vast
plant, which, if combined with that Of
the Sprague company, would come very
near controlling the electric lighting and
railway business of the country. -

not difficult to see what the future has in
store for her rapid growth and enduring
prosperity. She is not yet up to the
country tributary to her, and that coun-
try is constantly increasing in population
and becoming more extended in area.
Fort Worth wants no inflated figures
concerning either her population, her
wealth or her resources inserted in the
census report. All she wants is that
those figures represent the truth, for the
truth is of itself more marvellous than
anything of a fictitious nature can posi-
bly, be-

Weatherford Sun.

The Fort Worth GAZETTE Of last Sunday
copies part of an editorial which appeared
IN the Sun February 27, in regard to the
Spring Palace, and credits it to the
Weatherford Constitution. This is not
the first time such thing has occurred 4,
and we would suggest to THE GAZETTE
management the propriety of hiring an
assistant for the exchange editor, with
keen eyesight and sufficiently oonvsrsant
with the English language to know that
Sun does not spell Constitution. The
assistant might also post himself as to
the fact, of which he seems obliyious,
that Weatherford has more than one
paper.

The general census will be taken during this
year and it is highly important that the citizens
OF Laredo shall make it point to see that it is
thoroughly done in this city. If done properly
it will be big feather in Laredo's cap,-[La-
redo Times.
This desire on the part of Laredo is
certainly very commendable. Her in
crease in population and her growth in
wealth have both been rapid and will,
doubtless, make a creditable showing in
the census returns. 1t will, however, be
better for her If the census should give
her less inhabitants than she really has,
rather than give her more. The same
also may be said of other cities and
towns in Texas. Laredo with only
y 900 inhabitants on the American side
offers a more inviting field for invest
ment than Laredo would with IS, 900.
The latter figures might represent
her overgrowth, while the former
represent her underground. if thos
terms can be so applied. 1t is better for
the figures TO show that city has q fu-
ture before it than a future behind it =.

THE Electrical Review recalls to mind
several instances in which murderers
have cheated the hangman IS moose, and
suggests that judicial death by electricity
can be evaded in several ways. A coat
of invisible varnish, for instance, can be
applied to the body, which will render
the condemned man entirely inVulnera-
able to the deadly fluid. OF course, the
murderer would have to be consum-
mate actor, so that he could feign death
until he got into the hands of his friends {.
Other methods are suggested by which
the body can be made impeFvious to
electricity.

THE mayor of Philadelphia figures it

some profit by manufacturing its own
gas The receipts from the sale of gas
for the past year, according to the
mayors recent message, were So, $751;
224, and the current expenses 81 1858,
873, showing a clear profit of 81 ,099 1851,
without taking into account the gas used
by the city itself in lighting the public
buildings and streets. Altogether the
profits figure up close to 50 900 900. The
gas business is a good one anywhere-the
less you use of it the more you pay for it.
1t is all in the meter, useless thing
whose actions defy the intelligence of
man-that is, of the man who collects
more money for less gas.
