1t appears that the order of Speaker
Reed restricting the sale Of liquors in the
house restaurant at Washington applies
only TO the bar and was not wholly res
cinded as reported. The sale Of liquors
with food to patrons at tables is not in
terfered with. This is the Boston plan
that is revolutionizing drinking practices
in that city. Dealers in liquors, whole
sale and retail, ought to welcome this
new temperance move with enthusiasm.
II the scheme should become general,
the consumption of liquor would be won
derfully increased. A man never knows
the extent Of his desires or of his capacity
until he has been driven to sit at table
with glass in one hand and cracker in
the other And he is apt to crafty him.

The capital invested in water works
in the United States and Canada is esti-
mated at $500, 1000, their annual rev.
enue is 100000, 600, their mains are 30
600 miles long and they have 1900, 900
taps. The vast bulk OF these are owned
by the people and carried on by NUM-
cipaiJies. The immense volume Of water
produced by this vast enginery is con-
sGmed in every conceivable manner and
the improved and improving health con-
ditions in the cities throughout the coun-
try attest the beneficial effects upon local
sanitary matters. With plenty of pure
water good health is the rule. There isno
feature of its innumberable local advan-
tage5 and benefits that Wichita feels a
greater degree Of pride and satisfaction
than in its iliimitabIe supply of pure
water that is absolutely safe from any
sort of adulteratiOn.

Modern science accomphshes many
wonders, but none Of its miracles can ex-
coed in interest that of giving speech to
the dumb. This seeming inpossibility
has been accomplished at the celebrated
Perkins Institute for the Blind in Boston.
Two little girls, deaf, dumb and blind,
have been taught to speak. The process
of training was arduOus, and as yet the
vocabulary Of the pupils is limited, but
they have acquired the power of vocal
ization and something OF a knowledge of
words and their sounds. After this a
complete acquisition of speech ought 70
be merely a matter of steady growth in
intelligence and of practice in the eXer-
else of new found faculties. Can the
dumb speak," loses its force as an inter-
rOgative negation.

woman's association in connection with
the fair of 1892, postponed until 1893, and

Queen Isabella along with the celebration

The New Gas Works.

The new gas works now 10 course
of erection on the lot adjoining the
Electric Light building, will short
~ be completed, when, it is stated
the two companies will consolidate,
and be conducted under one board
Of directors. This does not mean,
however, that the people Of Annapo-
lis is to be made prey of by these
two lighting companies, on the cen
trary, we have been informed by
those in authority, that our lighting
system will be cheaper than it ever
has been; that gas will be furnished
our citizens at the rate of about
1925 per 1000 feet which has here
tofore cost us S2.25. There Will
also be some changes in the electric
light system. This will be more
equalized, and the consumer will
not be made to pay for lights up to IL
o'clock when they do not burn them
after o'clock and vice versa. The
company vii! be controlled by a
board Of nine dIrectors-a majority
Of whom, we learn, will be from
Annapolis. This company, so far,
has done the fair thing by our citi-
zens, and We have no cause as yet to
complain. The city is furnished
with q most excellent light, at less
than half the cost of any other city
in the United States. Annapolis
pays about II cents per light, while
Baltimore pays 45 cents per light,
and the inoandescent light furnish
ed the business places and private
residences, is one-third less than
that furnished in other cities. This
does not make this company appear
as the great octomus it has been rep
resented to be, and we believe with
q board OF directors composed of
majority of our best citizens, to
look after its interests, our people
will have greater confidence in the
honesty and integrity OF the CON-
pany, and many who, otherwise
would look upon it with suspicion,
will be induced to introduce either
gas or electric light into their prem
ises. Our people are willing to pay
fair price for what they receive,
whether from gas, electric light or
water company, but they have been
so shamefully imposed upon by the
old companies, that they are little
FESTIVE under new corporations. No
one will deny the fact, that so far,
Annapolis enjoys better lighted
system than ever before, and at a
far less cost.
