No Use of Rubbing It In.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, June lin
Court to-day Assistant District Attor-
ney Kinsey called the attention of the
Jury to bill of indictment charging ex-
City Treasurer Bardsley with embez-
cling 5000, and said: I'm view of the
fact that Mr.. Bardsley has pleaded
guilty upon II bills of indictment, upon
which maximum punishment of fifty
or sixty years could impose
longer than any punishment the
Court may inflict, it would be useless to
to take up the time of the Court in try
ing the remaining indictments against
him. The charge which relates to the
transfer af 500, 900 from deposits of con-
tract money TO the cash drawer in the
City Treasury, and there being some
dispute as to the question involved in
this charge, l propose to submit this
bill without evidence and dispose Of it,"
The bill was handed to the jury and a
verdict of not guilty was entered.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.

On the 9th inst, little over two
weeks hence, the voters Of Wheeling
will be called 10 pass at the polls upon
an ordinance providing for a loan by
the city Of $4,000 10 build an electric
light plant for the purpose Of lighting
the city oy electricity. That Wheeling
IS more Immediately in need Of this i'm
provement than OF any other one can soon
convince himself by interviewing almost
any traveller on the subject who
happens 10 arrive on night train.
He generally expresses the ut
mos, establishment and disgust at
having o practically feel his
way along the streets 10 hotel. If
the moon has retired the traveller who is
unfamiliar with our streets must take
chances whether or not be breaks his
neck before he reaches the hotel he is
bound for.
Above all other improvements Wheel
ing AZ present needs better lighting.
The taxpayers are now paying conSid-
eral sum for lighting the streets by gas.
and still the streets are not lighted.
This is not the fault of the gas works,
which furnishes the best in the inStitu-
ton. The city gets its moneys
worth in gas: it is our own fault for not
having adopted the light of the present
electricity.
1t is not only an infinitely better as
we'll as cheaper light, but, also, will, in
all probability reduce the price of gas
very materially TO private consumers,
and the loan is as profitable an invest
ment as the tax payers Of Wheeling
could make.
Interested parties who need no denti-
fcation are at present induStriOuSly en-
gagged in lighting the proposed loan or
dinance. They are spending much
money in hiring workers" and
getting out circulars, etc. Yes

These Interested parties are said To

Their efforts are made chiefly in those
sections of the city where the streets
have not yet been paved with brick.
The city has, of course, been unable
to pave all the streets and many streets
that eed paving are not paved. Among
residents in these sections these paid
agents are circulating the false state
ment that the city financially is in a
bad way and cannot afford to issue $50
600 of bonds, and that il she
does it will delay much
needed improvements in the line
Of street paving. The statement is en-
tirely false The city was never in bet

time, aud she is a quarter Of million
dollars within the limit of her indebted

AN OBJECT LESSON IN INCARCERATION

A New Jersey Judge has discharged a
Swiss immigrant who was arrested on
his arrival on the charge of having
stolen s., 200 in bonds before he left his
native heath.
Drafts representing most of the
amount for which he had sold the stolen
bonds were found upon him, and were
recovered, but he was discharged by the
JUICE, on the ground that there was no
extradition treaty with Switzerland for
the punishment of criminals under ar
rest in either country, or, for surrender
ing them TO their own government, to
be tried and punished.
In this case the Judge seems to have
overlooked the violation OF the United
States immigrant law, fOrbidding the
landing OF criminals here from any
country, and he should have sent this
criminal back TO Switzerland under the
provisions OF that law. In this
case it would have been eminently
proper to have sent the Grim
inal back, for it has been no.
torious that Switzerland has too fire.
quently made the United States Bot
any Bay for its convicted thieves and
other incorrigible criminals by ''senten-
cling them, after the second or third
offense, to choice of imprisonment a.

Radam,s uicrobe Killer.

Many years ago. DR.. Maclagan, of the English
Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, Prof
Tyndall. Prof. Koch. Lewis Pasteur and others Of
the French Academy of Sciences, united in pre-
dieting that the time must come when some
would destroy microbes. and thereby cure all
disease and, furthermore that the antidote would
be some liquid, strongly impregnated with gases.
capable of penetrating, without injury, to every
part and organ of the system. The Radam Mi
crobe Killer fills the terms of that illustrious
prediction in chemical form. in pen netrative en-
ergy, in its powerful gaseous nature. in its harm
1essness to the human body and its fatality to all
microbic life. In appearance it is bright liquid,
with piquant, pungent, refreshing and palata-
BILE taste. 1t comes for trade purposes. in neat
gallon jugs. distinctly trade-marked and is drank
by the wineglassful. at intervals determined by
the circumstances of the case. Aside from
the curative principle, which is its chief and vi
tai characteristic. the effects of the drink are
tonic, appetizing and strengthening. In case of
virulent microbic affections. its deadly power
over all microbic life is manifested in its infall-
BILE determination of the injecting and infesting
swarm, while its innocence of all harm to the
human system is demonstrated to be as complete
as that of new milk or pure water.
Abundant home. together with testimonials
from all over the country. attest its unfailing
efficacy in permanent relief of disease. of what
ever nature.

1t is strange, said a dealer, that some
people are SO slow to learn certain things. Fan
cy straw mattings are not new things in the
stores, and yet l often hear housewives Of ma
ture years complain because the mating they
have bought does not match. OF course it does
not, for it is not possible to match the breadths
in fancy patterns. Again. there is the matter
of laying the goods. l have seen carpet layers.
who were supposed to understand their trade,
stretching mating with carpet stretcher and
then mailing it down with heavy carpet tacks.
There are few quicker ways of destroying the
goods. A carpet stretcher should never be used
in stretching mating, and only double pointed
tacks should be employed for fastening it down.
Any fullness should be taken out by the hand
alone, and this point should not be neglected,
or else the mating is liable to pull apart. The
raw edges made by cutting should be bound
with thin webbing binding. Good mating so
laid will give permanent satisfaction to the Gus
toner, while any other way of doing the job
cause trouble for both customer and dealer. -
