house of Bishop Johnson, in this city,
about 8 O'Clock Wednesday afternoon,
and stole pair of pants, Prince AL
bert coat, a black tail coat, pair of
socks, a shoe-brush and backing and
sundry other things, and was quietly
walking out of the back door when
the Bishop got sight of him, and re-
quested him to stop. The Bishop
asked him what lie was doing there.
'I'm on business" said the tramp.
What is your business?" asked the
Bishop.
''Ohl I'm cleaning houses" he
answered.
Yes, guess you are" said the Bis
hop. The fellow then persisted in his
attempts to get away, but the Bishop
said to his little girl. Bring me my
shotgun" sit was easy enough to
manage him then," said the Bishop to

If there is any one in Macon who had
little faith in hoodoos and charms a few
weeks ago that person was Chief Kenan
But at last all unbelievers are brought
around, and it appears this was the case
with the doughty chief. Some days ago he
was suffering considerably with neuralgia.
After trying every remedy under the sun
he at last came upon friend who had a
recipe which he was not caring particu-
larly to reveal to the chief, but seeing the
official in deep trouble be finally consented
to apply the remedy. Securing a spool of
black silk thread, he cut off several bits
One he tied around the neck of the chief,
another down the back, and connecting the
one from the neck with that around the
waist, and fourth down his breast, con
Meeting in the same way the two bands.
This completed the outfit.
When the operation was finished the
chief, with an incredulous smile, asked
what came next. "Oh, you will talk diff
ferently in a few minutes" replied the
friend, with a shake Of the head In q
minute the official felt u strange sensation
in the face, and within five minutes the
pain had left him. To say that he was
amazed would be putting it mildly. He
has already given the cure TO a dozen suf-
ferers, and now he is at work solving the
problem of how he was cured As yet he
has found no one who can give the cause
for it.-Macon Telegraph.

1t has long been problem how to apply
electricity to the growth of plants, Use of
the electric force for such purpose is still
in the experimental stage, but enough has
already been done to show that there are
possibilities in the case.
In one series of experiments the seeds of
beans, suntlowers and winter and spring
rye were used. The seeds were soaked,
electrified and Immediately sown. The
plants were more fully developed, their
leaves were larger ana their color brighter
than those grown from non-electrihed seed,
but the yield was not affected
In another series Of experiments plates
of copper and zinc about two feet by two
feet six inches were buried at the end of
the plots and connected by their upper
faces, the effect being to establish IA current
through the earth The result was larger
crop, and vegetables of enormous size.
In the third series electrical collectors
were mounted on insulated rods and con
nected by wires, the effect being to obtain
a highly electrified atmosphere. Seeds of
rye, corn, oats, barley, peas clover, pota-
toes and fax were used. This form of APP
plication increased the yield Of seed an
average of one-half, and that of straw one
third, while the ripening was more rapid.
TWAS also found that potatoes grown by
this treatment were rarely diseased, and as
the beneficial effects of electricity on vines
attacked by phylloXera have already been
observed it is possible that means have
been found of combating the microscopic
pests which attack vegetable growth. 49,

that telephone speech can only be trans
mitted by an undulatory current, that n
make and break current would not do it,
and that other devices are simply IA iuggle
to get around Bells patent. In electric
lighting millions Of Investments have hung
ON "flament,' and on the exact meaning
that the courts might attach to the word.
Among late legal fights is one that prob
ably the United States supreme court will
have to settle-namely, whether the tele-
phone companies or the electric railway
companies have right to use the earth as q
return" circuit The telephone people
claim that the leakage from the railway
throws their service out Of gear and rem
ders the instruments useless The railway
people reply that their telephone friends
have a remedy in metallic circuits, and that
no one electrical interest anyhow can Gown
the earth" Already this dispute has crop
ped up in nearly score Of states, and the
increasing number and magnitude of the
electric roads renders il more and more
important. In the meantime, the tele-
phone companies as far as possible are
putting their metallic circuits in, with a
marked Improvement in the service.
New questions thus crop up every day.
In the use, for example, of the alternative
currents now becoming so common not a
little has depended on the patentability of
the principle Of transforming the current,
and on whether "step up" was equiva-
lent to step down"-in other words,
whether raising the voltage and decreasing
the ampereage was n simple and inevitable
converse to decreasing the volts and rails
ing the amperss. Another point around
which legal controversy has gathered is the
fine one as to where "low' potential ends
and high" potential begins.--piJtsburg

afternoons is the approach of group of
young swells. They come in groups of two
or three, and appear as if they had been
dressed and drilled for the afternoon pa
rade. The clothes are cut on exactly the
same pattern, they assume the same vague
expression of countenanCc, and even carry
their canes in the same way. They hold
their canes in the middle with the head
down and about foot and a half in front
of them. This lastrequires quite an effort,

ELECTBlCITY IN LAW.


ono of the effects ut the rapid iutroduc-
tjuu of electrical inventions during the
last quarter of century has been to open
up entirely new fields Of litigation for the
lawyer and new questions for the bench.
This I'm general way is true of every new
creation of industrial property but with
electricity many Of the problems TO he
solved are quite novel, and Judge has
often to so wide of practice or precedent
before he can determine the legal priuci-
pie proper To- apply in the case before him.
Thus, Tor instance, in Pennsylvania the
question has been adiudicated upon wheth-
rr "a local electric light company was a
manufacturing concern. The court says
Sc is not, and yet all that it does is to make
current for sale.
a similar point is that raised ms TO the

BLAINE.S HAND.

to What 1t Contains,
Although He Has been Uniting in
His Efforts.
Points on Which Our Secretary
Is ImmoVable.

AS 1t is Canada Must Disclose the Utter
most Limit to which She win Go n
Concessions to American Trade Before
the Secretary States His Position-Rea-
sons Why Delay Is Beneficial to oar
Side of the Question.
New York. March 2G.-Mr Blaiue's
assistants at the state department are
making ready for the informal confer.
ence soon to oiCn on the question Of re-
ciprocity with Canada The time for
the arrival OF Sir Charles Upper and
his two associates is not definitely fixed
for the reason that Sir John has not
ceased his efforts to induce Mr. Blaine
to show his hand Il little more plainly
before the Canadian ENJOYS depart from
Ottawa to Washington. AS the matter
stands Mr.. Blaine is in position TO
compel his Canadian visitors W hen they
arrive, to disclose the uttermost limit to
which the government Of Canada will -
III concessions to American trade with
out abating iot Of his hitherto pub
lished intimation that he would lie a
party to no re iprocity agreement that
does not open good market to Alner-
can manufacturers in Canada.
Exception is taken by Sir John to this
manifesto of the American secretary Of
state as being, in the first place, much
too ambiguous to serve as a ba,i5 for
opening even an informal discussion
In the second place ii the manifesto is
to be interpreted MS stongly as its Ian
guage would warrant the reciprocity
negotiations are forcdOOmcd, as it would
, be impossible for the government Of
Canada to open their nome market, now
secured to Can'diln manufacturers by
q protective tariff to the extent implied
by Mr.. Blaine. Ever since Sir Johns
victory in the Cana Ian election he has
been endeavoring, through the British
legation, to obtain from M" Blaine
some sort Of statement or declaration
however provisional, indicating the
kinds and qualities Of American manu-
features that would probably have to be-
admitted into Canada free of duty or n
preferential rates in any treaty of reel
procity.
On this point, however, Mr.. Blaine
has remained immOyable Hi position
Is that the tanadim authorities must
either determine among them8cye
what concessions 10 offer to American
manufacture interest, short OF an en-
tire reciprocity IN all lheIrolucts Of tire
two countries, manufactured or ur-
manufaCtu ell. or come 10 Washington
