For two weeks past a committee OF
the Levy Court of New Castle county
has been examining Sheriff Aliens bill
against the county for the year ended
March 31st, 1890. 1t is an enormous
bill and the total is over $4,000. OF
this sum about $18,5 500 is for the feed
ing of prisoners, the balance being
made up of items for commitments,
serving summons and other services
for which the law allows the sheriff
compensation in the way of fees. Ever
since the bill was rendered, the COM
mittee, Messrs. Eliason and Roberts,
have been giving it careful and thor
ough investigation. A few mistakes
were dis covered, but they were of a
triaing character and made no ma
terial difference in the amount of the
bill.-Farm and Home.

The Great Spring Tonic.

w. H. Gilbert, Druggist, Albany Ga.
writes 1--WE are selling large quanti-
ties of Swift's Specific for a spring al
tentative and general health tonic, and
with the best results. 1t is now largely
used as a preventive and cure for Ma
laria. There are many remarkable ev-
licences of its merit in this section.
Rev. L. B. Paine, Macon, Ga. writes
I'VE have been using Swift's Specific
at the orphans home as a remedy for
blood complaints and as a general
health tonic, and have had remarkable
results from its use on the children and
employees of the institution. 1t is such
an excellent tonic, and keeps the blood
so pure, that the system is less liable
to disease. 1t cured some of our chill
dren of Scrofula."

Cards Under His Collar.
A CONGRESSMAN WHO CHEATED HI
WIFE IN A EUCHRE GAME.

A certain aged member from the
West used to take great delight in
playing euchre with his wife at home.
He does not enjoy the playing as much
now as he used to, and for very curious
reasons. Being poor player aud de-
lighting to worry the old lady, who is
an expert, he was in the habit of hid
ing the bowers back of his neck and
selecting from them at pleasure.
After game with his better half
one evening he left home and dropped
in at his club. While there he was in
duced to take hand in a game, just
for fun, the stakes being small. Much
to his surprise he found the cards
coming his way.
the goddess of fortune seemed to
have fairly showered her smiles upon
him. Even at small stakes he found
himself at midnight the winner Ofsome
$3.50.
Glancing at his vis-a-vis to call at.
tention to the fact that it was his turn
to play, he found that gentleman look
ing at him in a strange manner. Re
turning the look, he asked him what
was worrying him and exhOrted him
to go ahead and make his play. The
gentleman laid down his cards, and
rising said:
81 guess 1 have had enough for this
night"
The venerable member from the
West looked surprised and demanded
what was the matter.
Il decline to explain"
But you must, sir" insisted the
Western man, getting very red in the
face.
"Well, sir, since you insist I will
explain. This, sir, is my reason for
not wishing to play with you" and at
the same time he drew from behind
the Western mans high collar the jack
of hearts.
The feelings of the Western man can
be better imagined than described.
After an incOherent exclamation he
sank back in his chair and actually
tainted away. The matter was finally
fixed up, and his opponent refusing to
take back the money, the winner gave
it to the lady managers of the Christ
mas Club as a donation for the news
boys dinner, but he took a solemn VOW
never to touch card again as long as
he lived.
OF course some malicious friend told
the story to his wife, and he has not
yet got over her remark at her hus-
bands misfortune. Her one comment
when the matter is referred to in her
presence is:
Served him right"

Compressed Air as a Moter.

The Washington Post says a permit
has been issued for power house for
street railroad in that city, to be op-
Grated by the Judson system of com
pressed air, heretofore fully described
in the Sun. The new road is to run
from the boundary at Seventh Street,
out to Rock Greek Church Road, sin
gle track. There are to be turn outs
and switches, in all about mile and
three quarters of the road operated by
the new system Vice president Cooke
of the Judson Company, says the ma
tiOnal capitol twas deemed the best
place to build the practical street line
to be operated by the JudsOn system.
We have had a full-siZed experiment
tai road in operation at Ninth avenue
and Twenty-seventh street, in New
York, and it has shown the JudsOn
system of propulsion to be admirable.
The great difference between Oursvstem
and the cable, or the cylinder that
corresponds to 1t, round and round in
stead of pulling it along. This road
that is about to be built, connecting as
it will end to end with the seventh
street cable line, will afford an excel
lent opportunity for comparisons be-
tween the two systems. As you know
the prOpelling power in our system is
compressed air, supplied from Il CEN
trail station through pipes to the aux
Hilary engines along the line of the
road. Now these pipes can be tapped
at any point along the length tOsupply
compressed air for mechanical pur.
poses. 1t is expected that the country
out toward BrightwOOd will build up
very rapidly, and that the owners of
the road we are going to put our plant
in operation on will complete the road
clear out to the District line. The sup
plying of compressed air for mechani-
cal purposes through a system of pipes
just as gas is supplied, will be con
siderable gart of the business done by
the local JudsOn company before a
great while.
I'm Europe compressed air is used
very extensively. In Paris there are
forty-twO miles of pipes supplying
compressed air. In Edinburg a large
compressed air plant is now being
built with II 600 horse power engines.
Wherever street-car lines are operated
by the Judson system compressed air
can be supplied to consumers all along
the line"
