ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
THE VERY MODERATE EXPENSE on TEE SIS
TsM IN CHICAGO,
Where Street. Lamps Cost But sS42O Per Year
Gas Costs Over S25 Per Lanpin Wheeling, and
the Bill this Year Will Be Over $4,000.

The cost Of lighting the streets and
public buildings Of the city OF Wheel
ing, with oil and gas, for the year end
ing December 81, 1889, was SIS, IA a.,
for the year ending December 81, lS9O,
the cost for the same service was SIS
O39.6S, an increase of 50, S95.24. II the
same ratio of increase is maintained for
the present year. the total cost of this
department will be very close to S2l, 900,
and It must necessarily keep increasing
from year to year. There are about
seven hundred oil and gas lamps in the
city to-day, each erected at a cost Of
about twenty-five dollars, and their an
nual maintenance, otfsetting the gas
burned in public buildings 0y the cost
proportionately OF the extern
sion OF the mains upon the
lines of which these street lamps
are located, was last year about S25.77
per lamp. The sort Of service given is
something the public is thoroughly
familiar with. Now, for gross sum OF
about Sl1 900 or 1000 the proposed
four hundred light electric plant can be
operated, or at from about $50 to $50
per lamp per year, n sum but hYe dol
lars per lamp per year, or little more,
in excess OF what is now paid for the
worthless gas and oil lamps. These fig
ureS, as matter of course, will not suit
interested electrical companies with an
itching for fat long term contract, but
they tally remarkably well with the eX-
periences of some other cities, Chicago,
for instance, where, last year, 1902
arc lights were operated at cost OF
but S37, 345, or $500 per lamp per year,
rs against SO per lamp per year for gas.
and the remarkably high figure Of SOB
per lamp per year for oil lamps, includ-
ing repairs, attention, etc.
Upon the general subject Of street
lighting in Chicago, the Economist Of
that city says:
1.-The cost OF lighting the city for
1890 was S6S2,354 with 3G,41S street
lamps, Of which %, 23G were gas, costing
for lighting and maintenance, $500, 525,
or SO per lamp per year; 1,0l0 oil
lamps, costing for material and light
ing, S1O4, 6S7, or SOB per lamp; $3.50
gasoline lamps, costing for maintenance,
Sal, 3s4, or s. per lamp, and 1902 cleo
uric lights, costing for maintenance,
81 :, 3l5, or $500 per lamp"
AS result of this showing, it will be
the policy of Chicago to increase its
electric lights and cut off its gas aud oil
lamps, just as fast as circumstances will
permit, the city thus not only saving a
large sum CT money, bat getting, OF
course, greatly improved light.
There is food for thought III this for
the citizens of Wheeling, especially
when they recall the offer of company
to light the city for the term OF ten
years, with buy or renewal attach
ment, at something like S12 per lamp
per year. The difference between the
S72 per lamp of this contract, and the
$500 of the cost in Chicago, would re-
present something very handsome in the
course Of ten years.

THE GARRISON CASE.
. Possibility that Judge PAUL. VIII Be
Asked to Hear Evidence.

Counsel for the defense in the CARR
son case have asked Judge PAUL wheth-
or or not it would be possible to have
him hear the evidence in the motion for
a new trial. delayed by the illness Of
Judge Campbell II is the impression
here that even il Judge Campbell makes
a reasonably prompt recovery it will be
several months before he will be phySic-
ally able to undergo the fatigues OF a
trial, and it was this feeling which, in
large measure, prompted the enquiry by
the defense.
Judge PAUL said yesterday that he
did not see how he could possibly en-
gage in the matter before the expiration
Of a month. He has q good deal Of
Ohio county business on hand, having a
special term for early in July. The
Marshall county Circuit Court is de-
handing attention, and he has also a
number of chancery cases awaiting him
in Hancock.
There is no definite decision in the
matter, as yet, but it is likely nothing
will be done for quite while.

THE GRIP AGAIN.

The doctors are having busy siege tax
ing care of the new grip cases. While the
affection is not so widespread as il was a
year ago. there are still large NUN Der Of
cases. The disease is sometimes light, be-
lug nothing more than heavy cold, and
at other times is more virulent than the
first application. People who went
through a case of the unpleasant ailment
last year are not exempt from second at
tack. and in some instances the second is
much more enervating. The physicians
are busy at all hours of the day and night
with il. As formerly, street car men,
teamsters and laborers in the open sir are
more susceptible to an attack. although
many well-housed, snugly dressed inhabi-
tants have succumed to the grip. Chicago
is stricken very heavily with it and other
cities and most of the doctorsdo not think
that the malady has reached its height
here in Wichita yet.

There seems 10 be decided drift Of opin-
ion among naturalists to the theory that
cur numerous varieties of donesticated
dogs are descended not from single spe-
cies, but from several kinds OF Wild AMI
mals-as, for instance, the wolf and the
jackal. The Fanciers' Journal. comment
ing on the foregoing, says:
There are recorded examples OF tanned
wolves which in gentlene~s and inseili-
gence showed truly doglike capacity.
With regard to tanned jsckals, Darwin has
pointed out that when caressed they jump
about for JOY, wag their tails. lower their
ears, lick their masters hands, crouch
down and even throw themselves On the
ground When frightened they carry their
tails between their legs
On the other hand it is undisputed that,
whatever animal we may consider bis pro-

A MATTER OF NO SMALL MOMENT.

W. A. Thomas spoke very hopefully yes
terday OF the progress of the enterprise in
volving a negotiation with a number OF
eastern capitalists who are to undertake
floating large block of Wichita property
at its real value. OF course such local
owners and spectators as are prepared to
take care of their investments for say flve
years more can afford to take chances of
doing better in the end, by waiting the
i've years or more, but for others VINO
want to realize fixed cash price at the
earliest possible day there seems no prob
able opportunity that can arise which
could afford such chance as is presented
by the one which he and Mr.. Niederlander
represents. As we understand it. it Is now
only question of the amount which can
be raised before the time designated ex-
pires. The syndicate will have moth
ing to do with a few thousand
dollars of values A million or more
dollars worth of real values must be got
ten together before they would feel justi-
fed in taking hold Of it. The final pur-
chasers are expected to hold as perma-
nent investment for term Of years, or
until conditions had been changed by
growths and developments. whether that
term be five or twenty years. These capt.
talists figure that such an Investment
would in the fullness of time equal or bet
ter or Z per cent loans secured by mort
cages and involving foreclosure expenses.
And doubtless they are right. But there
are a great number of property holders In
this town who could do much better with
their capital if in ready cash than IN va
can't lots. All such ought to see Mr..
Thomas and learn the conditions OF his
proposed deal and see him right away
as 1t IS now only a matter OF rev.
days at most when it must be closed. II
closed at all, and we have no doubt that it
will be. When once closed Of course the
opportunity for sale of property under
the syndicate conditions will be gone. The
Board of Trade and several other large
holders of lots unhesitatingly turned over
large blocks of property to Messrs. Nieder-
lander & Thomas as the agents of the east
ern monied men who desire to take it to
hold it and to dispose of it. No deeds are
| required before the price agreed upon is
returned in cash. There are no chances
| involving any danger of losing anything
| The chances are to be taken by the mer
| who desire realty investments, ana DOT ol
| the present owners. The only aston
ishing thing about it Is that from
So, 600, 900 to S., oOO, 900 of property was not
| proffered on such conditions and immedi
ataly upon the facts being known. 1t was
probably because the scheme was moi

matter of that character in that way
What the EAGLE has said here and hereto
fore was unsolicited and unexpected, bu
