USE FOR ELECTRICITY.
The Fluid in Great Demand IN the
Northwest.

The Fluid in Great Demand IN the
Northwest.
The following in regard to the
uses and demand for electricity in
the Northwest is found on the let
ter-heads of the Spokane Falls
Electrical Society. 1t will, no
doubt, do much toward attracting
electrical comf anles to the coast:
No section of the globe presents so
rich field for the use of electricity
In its various forms as does Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho and Mon
tana. Its people are energetic and
enterprising, and demand the latest
electrical appliances in the develop
ment of this great Western country.
Its great mines demand for their
development the latest and best
electrical apparatus for drilling pur-
energy.
The rapid growth of the many
cities In this section offers fine OPP
portunities for the installation OF
electric lighting plants.
All kinds of electric light fixtures
have here wide field for their dis
tribution.
The great development of indus
tries In these cities affords splendid
facilities for the utilization of cleo
trical powers.
The building and equipping of
electric street railroads and genera
tors Is at present occupying the at
tention Of nearly every Western
town with population above 1000.
The storage battery system of cleo
trio lighting is in many places being
adopted.
The telephone, phonograph and
graphophone are in use in every Of
flee.
Motors for supplying small units of
power are in general use In printing
offices, stores, meat markets, etc.
and fans for cooling and ventilating
purposes are everywhere in circula-
ton.
The best forms of batteries, fire
and burglar alarms and electric bell
outfits are in great demand.
Electro-platers' outfits, telegraph
supplies and test instruments find
here great field for their distribu-
ton.
Electro clocks and many forms of
electric novelties, such "a electric
boot backing and horse currying
outfits, are in general use In many
places.
Many of these Western towns
have the advantages of splendid
water power, which Is being used
for the development of electrical in
dustries cheaply.
The state OF Washington will ere
long be one of the leading states of
the Union in the practical applica-
tions of electricity.
Men of influence and capital, who
have under consideration the estab-
lishment and introduction of cleo
trical plants and apparatus in the
various sections from which they
come will eagerly examine the cleo
trical exhibits In this exposition,
and it will be well for electrical COM
panies to have something of their
man ufacture to show

GLOVES OF HUMAN SKIN.
They Are Soft, Pliabie and Much
Sought for In France.

They Are Soft, Pliabie and Much
Sought for In France.
"Gloves which are sold as kid are
often mado of human skin, said DIR.
Lark l.. Nardyz. the Greek ply
sician, to Philadelphia Record re-
porter. "The skin on the breast" !"
continued the physician, ''is soft
and pliable, and may be used in the
making of gloves. When people
buy gloves they never stop to qucs-
ton about the material of which
they are made. The shopkeeper him
sell may be In Ignorance, and the
purchaser has no means of ascertain
ing whether the material Is human
skin or not. The fact Ii, the tan
ming of human skin Is extensively
carried on In France and Switzer-
land. The product Is manufactured
into gloves and these are imported
into this country. Thus you see a
person may be wearing a part of q
distant relatives body and not
know it."
Then the doctor drew from q
drawer u brand new pair of black
gloves. "rhere," he said, 'is q
fine article made from the skin Of
a child. AS the hide of kid COM
pares with that of a goat, 80 of
course, does the skin of child COM
pare with that of an adult, and 1t
Is as much sought in France for
glove purposes.
"The skin on Ia mans back makes
good sole leather" said the doctor.
"Nature has protected man 3 spine
by q skin which Is much heavier
than that on other parts Of the body.
Here is piece OF well-tanned skin
from the calf OF a mans leg" And
the doctor displayed bit of white
leather, strong and thick.
In q museum in Belgium are the
bodies of six members OF one family.

Smith said: al escorted Mulligan
to the newspaper Office to make a
match between him and Casey, who
had been Dragging that he was
made of something and could do
any man up very easily. AS soon
as the two men met lively argu-
ment arose over the difference in
weights. Finally Lynn and Multi
gan came to blows.
Hutchinson then put Lynn
out, but in u very short time he re-
turned by way Of the door leading
into the composing room, and on
reaching us drew n revolver and i'm
mediately commenced firing, the
first shot taking effect in my right

and fired shot which took effect In
the left shoulder, and instantly ran
away not waiting to see whether
we were much injured. Mulligan

A few years ago General Ben But

LYNN PLACED UNDER ARREST.
Without waiting to note, the ef-
fects of his shots Lynn made for the
door through which he had entered.
On reaching the alley'he ran west
over slight hill, with Officer Har-
bord in hot pursuit.. The fleeing
man, with his smoking revolver in
hand, was asked to halt, but he
only ran the faster. The officer
drew his own revolver, and threat
ening to shoot, brought the would-be
assassin to standstill. Then dis
arming him Harbord took him to
the police station.
The weapon used was a 3S-caliber
British Bull Dog, and when exam
ined ut the police station 1t was
found to have been discharged
twice, while two chambers were en-
entirely empty, and the other two
loaded.
THE WOUNDED MEN.
Mulligan and Smith went direct
TO the office of DR.. Lindsay, in the
Daniel block, going upstairs without
assistance.
While the men's wounds were
being temporarily dressed they
showed great deal Of courage, COM
planning none Of the great pain they
must have suffered.
About thirty minutes after the
shooting the wounded men came
downstairs, and were taken to the
Sacred Heart hospital. Smith re-
quired very little assistance coming
downstairs, but Mulligan was so
weak that he had to be carried.
On their arrival at the hospital
n. Fred Essig was called to take
charge of the cases. He examined
his patients and found their physi-
cal conditions excellent. He probed
for the bullets but did not find
them. While Smith was in no
danger, the physician found Multi
gan's condition very critical After
doing all he could for the time being
DR.. Essig left both the wounded
men resting easy.
During the remainder of the after
noon Mulligan rested with COM
paratively little pain. AS the even
ing came OH he dropped into doze
and slept until $3.50 O'Clock, when
DIR. Essig again called. He found
the wounded mans condition far
more favorable than he expected.
Said he: "rhis young man has u
wonderful constitution. am
greatly astonished to find him in
such excellent condition. or course
he may take a sudden turn for the
worse, but | have the strongest
hopes of his pulling through"
Mulligan's right name is Andy
Stringer, and he is about 81 years OF
age. He was raised In Walla Walla,
where his parents now reside. His
father is engaged in stock raising
and the butcher business, while his
elder brother John is purser on
one of the sound steamers.

THE WESTERN UNION FIRE.
Jay Gould interviewed as to Iu
Probable Origin.

NEW YoRx. July 2i.--For ths first
time since the firs uf Friday Jay Gould
this morning was at his Office ON the
second floor of the Western Union
building. Little damage had been done
by water there, and the usual force OF
clerks were engaged. Gould said to a
reporter; al was not connected with
this company when this building was
erected, but understood 1t to be as near
" fire proof as possible. The floors,
walls and stairway were all in
destructible, Of course, but neces-
sarily vast amount of fuel
was on hand, in the furniture needed to
accommodate SO many persons. 1t must
be said, however, in view of the pro-
bable origin of the fire, that had it broken
out at any other time II would almost
certainly have been extinguished Mt
once. The fire doubtless arose from the
contact of several wires, which were
raised to a white heat by combined cur
rents, igniting the covering of the wires
and the woodwork near by. The men
who are usually at work at the point
where the fire began, were not there to
check the spread Of the flames, which
were not discovered until they had made
some headway,"

THE wORLD's FAIR.
Strong Efforts to Have 1t Closed en-
Sunday.


CHICAGO, July 20.-At large meeting
held in Farwell hall this afternoon reso-
lutions were adopted by rising vote
that the legislature about to meet in
special sc ssion be earnestly requested to
see that the Worlds Columbian exposi-
tion be closed on Sunday. The resolu-
tions declare the injury to the city,
state and nation Of an open European
Sabbath, and that the American institu-
tion of quiet Sabbath must not be
trampled in the dust. The example set
by the United States in 1876 and at
Paris in 1880 should be continued, and
1t Is owed to the working people of the
world, and especially those OF our
nation, that this most precious boon OF
q rest day be saved for them.
A copy of the resolutions has been
forwarded to the state senate and house
Of representatives, Governor Fifer. Presi
dent Harrison. the commissioners of the
exposition, and the Chicago board OF di-
rectors.
The meeting was under the auspices
of ge ntlemen more or less identified with
the Young Mems Christian Association
and Chicago Evangelical Union. World $
fair matters were not the primary OBJ
jects of the gathering. The resolutions
were introduced and adopted after
speeches following upon stotements
made by Major White, just returned
from London, regarding interest being
taken across the Atlantic in everything
pertaining to the coming exposition.
CHILL WILL EXCEL IN HER EXHIBITS.
Speaking of the worlds fair to-day,
Mr.. Charles e. Brookings said that the
Chilian journals were now urging the
country to excel in her exhibits. He is
sure that Chilli will show at Chicago how
greatly she leads the South American
republics.

Father and Son.

Ivan Demitrieif sued his laborer, Petro
Demitriefl, before justice of the peace
in St. Petersburg for damages to the
amount of 50 rubles, because the laborer
had spoiled his horse. "Demitrieff W..
Demitrieff," called the justice. Are
plaintiff and defendant relatedr' ITO
be sure,' answered the plaintiff; "the
laborer Is my father" The justice was
amazed at this answer and tried to per-
suade the litigant son to drop the case
against hrs father. But the son would
not listen TO it. insisting that he de-
manded justice, and that the judge had
no business TO take the part of tho de-
fendant because the latter happened to
be the plaintiffs father. The case was
tried in due order, anu Judgment was
found in favor of the defendant. The
plaintiff, however, was determined TO
have his father punished, and appealed
from the decision OF the court. The case
was tried again in higher court, and
the judgment Of the lower court was
sustained. Leaving the court room the
son exclaimed: There is no use in try
ing 10 obtain justice in holy Russia -

Mulligan was too weak to talk at
any length. He said that every
word he uttered gave him great pain,
and, this being the case, the reporter
did not question him. He, how
ever, said:

hard deal. I never intended to do
this man any injury, In fact, 1 did
not know him. l wish you would
