| From recent tests that have beer
made it is evident that the power Of
electricity, utilized for the purpose Of
moving street cars, has been greatly
overestimated; or, to state the same
thing in other words, an underestimate
has been made as to the amount OF
power required for this class of work
From repeated experiments it is found
that. in using the trolley system, a rea-
sOnablY we'll filled street car us IS in pro
| ceeding at fair rate on level road
what would be the equivalent of about
10.horse power. IT the car has to ascend
a grade, even though the speed may be
reduced, the power exhausted greatly
increases, jumping quickly, according
to the grade Of the track, to Is. 20, Is
or even 30-horse power. In starting a
street car which has been brought to a
full stop, very great amount of power
is temporarily employed. mere again de-
pending upon the grade Of the track,
for, obviously, on a steep down grade
little or no power would be required.
But on level track the starting of q
car requires the application of the equi-
valent OF Is or 30-hurse power, and to
start car up grade may require even
60 or 10 horse power.
Now, this is widely different from the
general popular notion concerning the
use of electricity as a motive power,
and is different, too, from the opinions
that were entertained by the builders
and sellers of electrical machinery IN
tended for these purposes. The popu-
lar notion has been that by the applica
ton of the equivalent OF four or Eve
horse power these electric cars could be
run, and that it needed no more to start
them than it did to keep them under
way. OF course, electricians have rot
been deceived by this popular SUPPOSE
ton; but even with these the immense
force IT quired to do relatively small
amount of work has come, as experience
has brought home the truth to them
almost in he light Of revelation.

TROUBLESOME NEG ABOKS.

Oh, could there in this world be found
. Some little spot of happy ground
Where village pleasures might go round
Without the village tattling;
How doubly blest that spot would be.
Where all might dwell in liberty,
Free from the bitter misery
Of gossips' endless prattling.
IF such spot were really known
Fair Peace might claim it as her own,
And in it she might FIX her throne
Forever and forever;
There. like queen. to reign and live,
While every one would soon forgive
The little Sights they might receive,
And be offended never.
IT'S NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. that remove
Far from our hearts the warmth Of love,
And lead us all to disapprove
What gives another pleasure.
They seem o'take ones part. but when
They've heard our cares, unkindly then
They soon retail them all again.
Mixed with their poisonous measure.
And then they We such cunning way
OF telling iu-n cant tales; they say
"Don't mention what I've said, pray;
would not tell another!"
Straight to your neighbours house they go
Narrating everything they know,
And break the peace of high and low,
Wife, husband, friend and brother,
oh, that the mischief making crew
We're all reduced to one or two,
And they were painted red or blue,
That every one might know them!
Then would our villagers forget
To rage and quarrel. fume and fret,
Or fall into an angry pet
With things 80 much below them.
For tits sad, degrading part
To make another's bosom smart.
And plant a dagger in some heart
We ought to love and cherish.
Then let US evermore be found
In harm ony with all around,
With friendship, JOY and peace abound,
And angry feelings perish.

The Summer Girl.

She is thing apart and vastly differ
ent from her sister cousin, the winter
girl. ANY girl can be adorable in the
winter time, when 80 many enjoyments
and diversions are afioat, but it takes
three parts angel to be able to come up
smiling when the mercury is roosting
on the steeple. She is darling, from
top to toe. The breeze she creates is
cool; her touch is soothing and takes
''the sting" out of the sunshine, the
very perfume exhaled by her soft, white
draperles is exhilarating. She knows
just what to do and how to do 1t, and
while she is about, nature, ON the hot
test day. seems to be at it's best. You
can find her at White Bear, Chisago and
Forest Lakes. She is treasure, but if
you have one of your own, take her to
any Of these popular resorts on the

a Ranch Laborer Says He Was Knocked
Down and Robbed.
Yesterday w. H. Hubert, ranch hand
who has lately been employed on the farm
of Mrs. Asa Lindley, near Antelope, pre-.
sented himself at the Sheriffs office and
unfolded a tale of woe which, if true, may
land Billy Milligan and Andy Woodson
behind the State Prison bars.
Hubert says that he and Andy Woodson
were paid off few days ago and went to
Antelope, where Mllligsn keeps saloon.
They got 10 drinking, and be (Hubert)
dropped $20-piece on the floor, which
Woodson gathered up and put in his
pocket. He didn't seem to care very much
about that little incident, but later on
when the benzine had reduced his powers
of self-protection to g minimum illigan
threw him down and held him while
Woodson relieved his pockets of S45 more.
This made him real angry, and as soon
as he could he came 10 town and lodged q
complaint against them in Justice Bakers
Court, charging them with grand larceny.
| Constable Martin was intfusted with the
warrant, and left in the afternoon for An
telope to make the arrests. He found his
men and brought them to the County Jail
little after o'clock in the evening. Andy
Woodson was locked up, and Milligan
went out with the officer 10 see If he could
find friends to go on his bail-bond.
Woodson is the same person who was
lately tried in the Superior Court on q
charge of criminal assault upon a child
named kim at Brighton, but wbo-through

Ell RIO REY QUITE LUsTY.
He Enjoys Good Health at Westchester
New York.

| New York.
| FL Rio Rey, the igreatest two-year- old OF
the season, occupies stall in comforta-
| bly, inclosed stable. He is a peerless look
ing fellow, big and fat, alert and lusty.
Trainer Billy Mccormick, of Sacramento,
explained that colts permanently recover
ing from lung troubles invariably fatten
up quicker than others in the regular
state of health. This may explain the
| firm and abundant flesh which covers his
sides. But there is gigantic frame on
which it hangs, there is conformity, SYM
metry, the suggestion of inert power and
agility from the tip of his nose to the crest
of his tail that the good breeding of a per-
feet thoroughbred alone can explain.
The Sporting World has been accused of
exaggerating the reports of Ell Rio Rey's
illness, Mr.. Mccormick ?"
mo, sir" responded the trainer, "he was
very sick colt, and caused us much con-
Germ. That we have brought him out as
well as we have is, to me, matter of much
satisfaction, as sm confident not trace
of the trouble remains, and expect to see
the colt train on in manner that will
satisfy the best wishes of his owner and
myself"
The opinion of Mr.. Mccormick is shared
by other trainers at the track, although it
is doubtful whether he is ever, or at most
often seen. They look upon him as the
most formidable rival three ear-old to be
met. The only satisfaction being that he
is going West, and will remain there until
late in July or August. Mr.. Mccormick
confirms the reports about intended move
ments with the horses, explaining as his
principal reason that Ell Rio Rev has
numerous Western engagements and bu.
few in the East.
He will also, in manner, kill two birds
with one stone, as while he advances West
the youngsters at the California ranch.
headed by Ell Rio Reys younger brother,
Rey del Rio, will be advancing East, and
Messrs. Estell and Mccormick will there
take both sections under their charge.
Whether they will spend another winter
here is largely problematical, but the prob
abilities are that they WILL and that Mr..
Winters will, in the future, operate no
further Yves. than Chicago.
In an adjoining box to Ell Rio Rev is Joe
Courtney, who is filling out and maturing
into as grand looking race-horse as the
eye could desire. The appearance of these
two alone seems sufficient to confirm the
claim made for California bred horses
that they attain in that climate larger bone
and substance. Both Courtney and Ell Rio
Rey stand full sixteen hands or over. Don
Jose, winner of the Horseman's Stakes at
st. Louis, his two year-old brother Barrett
and brother to Bonanza, all good looking
thoroughbreds, were taking walking exer-
else around the stable track
