A Brilliant Woman Though Blind.

From the Mail and Times, Des Moines, Ia.l
Mrs. Martha Rabor, of Polk City, was in
Des Moines few DAYS last week. Though
entirely blind and advanced in years, she
has mind of more than ordinary power.
She is thoroughly informed on current
events and has a large assortment of posi-
tive convictions. She is Methodist and a
Democrat. 1t is worthy of remark that she
can say what no other person probably in
Iowa can say, and that is that John Wesley
baptized her grandmother in Epworth,
England. The writer overheard her in
home on Twenty-sixIh street advise lady
who had a troublesome cough to 'be sure to
get Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. People
up my way think of it as the best medicine
for that purpose that is made. Mr.. Sted-
man sells it in my town and be says it is
very popular" Mrs. G. 81. McCauley, Of
III Des Moines street. was present and
added her testimony to the value of the
remedy. saving: eyes, Chamberlsin's
Cough Remedy is splendid. have had it
in my family for years. 1t is such good
thing in case of whooping cough or colds"
The result was, the lady's husband went
down town to Crawford's pharmacy, bought
q bottle and the annoying cough, which
had prevented sleep to the sufferer and had
caused great anxiety to her friends, gradu-
ally disappeared. The number Of such
experiences are multiplying all over the
land a. the real merits Of these valuable
preparations become known Wsu !,

Soldier and Editor Came Near Having q
Duel Over Their Poker.
New York SUM-
During the war, says Major Cramp in the
New York Sun, Colonel Mcclure, the brill
liant editor, and General Steedman, of Ohio,
the hero of Chickamauga, were spending the
morning at Morrissey's place, near the Hotf-
man House. Mcclure, who has arrived
now at that age when he has laid aside the
'pasteboards' for John Wanamaker's hon.
lilies. was engaged in game of Boston with
three others. Steedman, who was desper-
ate gamester, and who had left New Orleans
several hundred thousand dollars in debt,
leaned over McClure's shoulder and advised
him to make certain play in the game.
Z" "'Durn it, replied the irate, but usually
amiable Colonel, when need your advice
how to play this game, 1 will ask it,
"Steedman rose up IN his wrath, called
John Morrissey, who was one of the four
players at the game of Boston, took him to
the window looking out on Twenty-fourth
street, and said:
"'John, I wish you to bear q challenge
for me which I have just written to Colonel
Mcclure to fight me with pistols, immedi-
ately-instantly, be gad, sir, and in this

"Morrissey's hair stood on end.
MY goodness, Steedman, have you gone
mad?' With great difficulty Morrissey as
sured the heroic soldier that Colonel Nc
Clure had meant no offense by his remark,
and would cheeriully apologize. This
Colonel Mcclure was induced to do; the
entente cordiale between the great editor
and the great soldier was resumed, and the
game of Boston was peacefully continued to
its legitimate ending"

long ago, and I wanted to show him the
town. l proposed a carriage, but he OBJ
jected, and said he didn't want to ride
around the streets, and that he would rather
walk and look at the store windows. Aswe
started out he asked me if we had any good
bookstores. told him we had few, and
he asked to be shown the biggest one. /.
The Book Caught Him.
"We went to it, and Turpie asked the
clerk for some outlandish old book that I
had never seen or heard OF. The clerks
didn't know the book, and one after another,
including the proprietor, was asked con-
corning it, but all proiessed Ignorance. At
last the lady bookkeeper was called up, and
she said she thought they had copy OF it.
She got it and gave it to Turpie. He
grabbed at it as hungry dog at a bone, and
sat down right there and read away at it
for an hour. while watched him in wonder

for him to finish his education"
Hon. Jerry Simpson, the Sockless States

Congress, will be one of the characters of
the next House. He will by no means be
the only man Of his class in Congress, and
the stories of the boorishness of Congress-
men promise to be more numerous than ever
before. Simpson is by no means the only
illiterate statesman in Kansas, and l heard
last night the story of an incident which oc-
Cured when Lord Chief Justice Coleridge,
of England, was in this country. Coleridge
was perfect Chesterfield as regards man
ners. He was a man of great ability and
wide learning, and he knew the classics az
well as he did the English.
An Impressive Remark.
During his tour through the West he
stopped at Topeka and was given dinner
at the expense of the State. The feast was
from miles around were invited to it to
honor the Lord Chief Justice. His Honor
had the Governor on one side of him at the
table and the Lieutenant Governor of the
State on the other side. AS the party sat
down the menu cards had already been laid
beside their plates, These cards were very
fine. They cost S25 apiece and they bore at
their heads the coat of arms of Kansas
upon which was engraved the motto, lad
astra per aspera."
As Chief Justice Coleridge sat down he
took up his card and looking at the motto,
said to the man on his lett, "Very good in
deed, and very appropriate"
whats good? asked the Lieutenant
Governor.
II refer to these Words" said Judge
Coleridge as he pointed to the motto.
"Yes." replied the Lieutenant Governor,
with a knowing look as though he were
giving important information, "them words

Justice, but he must have thought great

Care of Electrical Apparatus.

Care OF ELECTRICAL Apparatus
The superintendent of an electric light
station gives a strange instance of the stop
ping of a meter, and the explanation of the
trouble" On examining the meter, which
was OF 2O-ight capacity, after lapse of a
month in order to determine the quantity of
current to be charged for, he found that the
consumer, in the pressure of business, had
placed number of small boxes around the
meter, concealing it from view. As it was
desirable not to disturb them, it was sug-
gested and agreed to that the meter be
allowed to run another month. At the end
of the second month, the coast being clear,
the meter WAS examined, and it was found
that it recorded only five hours since the
last examination, This looked suspicious,
but there was no ground to believe that the
meter had been tampered with, A very
close inspection was made, and revealed the
fact that spider had spun its web around
the fans so that they could not rotate under
the action of the current. 1t appears that
the screw which held the cover to the top of
the instrument had not been put in, and
that the spider had taken advantage of the
opening and established himself in the
cozy quarters. The moral of the story is
that station superintendents as we'll as flies
should beware of spiders.

ment at Missoula, where there is bank,
where we can get our checks certified and
deposit the bet until the matter can be veri-
fed This rather took the wind out of the
sails of my fellow travellers. They wouldn't
believe me, but they weren't willing to bet.
My blRff, however, shut up their mouths,
and was not bothered about any further
remarks as to Western liars during the re-
mainder of the day."

he was investigated as one of the officers at

Eagerness for Electrical Information.

An interesting sign of the great desire OF
the general public to acquire sound, even if
elementary, ideas Of electricity and electric
arts has been given in the rush for tickets
for the course to be given at Columbia Col.
lege. 1t has been the desire of President
Low, from the first, to place the college In
sympathy with popular intellectual needs
and tendencies, and in its way this series of
electrical lectures meets just such a want as,
il unsatisfed, leads often TO downright evil
and loss. The tickets cost $40 for the series.
and the whole hundred of them have al
ready been snapped up, while further appli-
cations are received daily. Each lee
ture will be accompanied by expert
ments, so that each auditor will be
able to catch the meaning of every appli-
ance or process and do everything except
see the current flow. The 100 subscribers
to the lectures are generally professional
men and people OF education, who feel that
ignorance of one Of the greatest and most
pervading agencies of the times cannot be
endured. Lawyers to whom electrical mat
ters are brought, capitalists who know that
the electrical fortunes have not yet been
made, yet who cannot now discriminate;
students desirous to be instructed as to the
latest ideas and doctrines in electricity;
mechanicians and inventors on the watch
for new opportunities-ali these are repre-
sented on the list. What Columbia is doing
in this public-sp1rIted way can be done by
other American seats of learning, sur
rounded by great populations.

Lookout for a Meal

The moose bird of the Northern wood
lands is a nomad. He claims no particular
locality, save the great evergreen forests, as
his home. The impulse of migration is evil
IDENTIFY an unknown experience to him. You
camp down for the night and he quietly
greets you, spending the night near by, that
he may lose no time in cleaning over the
remains of your breakfast. He is immedi-
ately interested in your preparations for de-
parture, and, if he can spare the time from
his search for breakfast, will come down
to the canoe to see you of, as well as to get
an idea of the way you are heading, and,
when you are greeted at your next camping
place in a similar manner, you are at a loss
as to whether it is the social individual of
the previous night or a counterpart.
The woods of Maine, dear to me by
pleasant associations, would lose halt their
charm to me without this bird. He is in

obtrusive as its shadow. so closely does he
harmonize with the spirit Of the silent

Municipal Ownership of Light Plants.

Not many weeks ago one of the most &C
tive electric light men in this country made
his appearance at Washington, and deliv.
cred before the House Committee on Post
offices very able argument against Mr..
John Wanamaker's scheme for limited
postal telegraph system, With some sur
prise members of the committee asked what
direct interest the question had for him. He
replied that the proposed annexation by the
Government offunctions hitherto discharged
by private capital in the hands of corpora
Iions or individuals found its exact counter
part in the movement he had been fighting
upin New England, to devote the proceeds Of
local taxation to the establishment of munic-
ipal electric light plants; and he thought if
Congress once committed itself to measures of
the kind recommended by the autocrat of the
bargain counter, it would not be very long
before municipalities copied such august ex-
amples by monopolizing in their turn cleo
trio light plants and electric street RAILWAYS,
In truth, the situation in New England is
worthy of study, as indicating the extent to
which the ball set rolling by Bellamy has
marked its track. In his recent inaugural.
Governor Russell, recognizing the preya-
lence of crude and undigested ideas on the
subject, suggests that permissiye legislation
be enacted giving the towns and cities of the
Bay State more power to operate such plants
of their own if they SO wish to devote local
taxes. The number of electric light central
stations has already outruh in the last ten
years the number of gas works, and, fearing
that the electric light will prove not less
profitable than gas, various communities
wish to operate plants of their own. As
matter of fact, proved by the returns
of the Massachusetts, Gas Commission,
neither the gas nor electric lighting invest
ments have been paying very large divi-
dends, and in the case of the central stations
large number of them are barely vet be-
ginning to enjoy the Legitimate returns of
their enterprise. Be this as it NAV, the
tendency exists, and electric light people,
not only in New England but elsewhere,
are anxious as to the future of the industry
they have fought so hard to create and estab-
lish. Even in New York City the idea has
struck root, and may be found embodied in
one of the passages OF Mayor Grants annual
report, but unless New Yorkers see some
speedy improvements in the street cleaning
they will not be very enthusiastic in hand
ing over the street lighting to the same
talent.
