Sugar i'm Battery Work.

A correspondent writes to The Victo-
rian Electrical Telegraphic Journal as
follows: 81 became aware of o wrinkle
lately that am confident will be nov
city to many of your readers, and also
of use. One of our telegraph inspectors
gave it to me. He came to my station
and found that the battery was not up
to his idea of what a battery should be.
He took it down and renewed it. When
it was put up again he asked me to favor
him with little sugar. asked him
what he wanted with sugar. He quietly
laughed and said, Get some, and | will
show you what it is for
81 got it, and he began to wash his
hands in the usual way with soap and
water, but after rubbing the soap he
added the sugar, and Immediately a
good lather came. He washed his hands
twice, and told me to do likewise. l
did and to my pleasure my hands came
out Of the wash clean and soft. He
told me always to do SO when working
with magnesia or copper solutions, and
the nasty dry feeling that usually is ex-
perienced when working with battery
is quite done away with"

When to Water Plants.

The other day gentleman saw pro-

quired if that wouldn't injure the plants.
"Why, no." was the answer. "Why not
now?" Il supposed they had to be wa
tered only at night" said the amateur.
do you drink only at night?' asked the
florist. "Are you only thirsty after the
sun goes down? That idea helps our
business, for under it the flowers of the
ignorant woud-be growers die, and we
get the opportunity of selling more of
our stock water my flowers when
they are thirsty, just as stock grower
waters his stock. "-Exchange.

the detective retorted; "they convict
you. You killed Ravelli because you
and he were both in love with this young
lady"
'Isn't it the rejected sutton who kills
the other one for spiteTI This was in
Mary WARMERS voice, weak but still
steady. "Ravelli loved me, knew, and
l drove him away. Mr.. Heath loved
me, believed, and had not repulsed
him. If ! were the cause of a murder
between them, it should be Ravelli who
killed Gerald"

And you love Health"
The answer was no more hesitant than
before, Yes"
"Send the rest of my message" and
the detective was boisterous. Send the
name. Gerald Heath is the murderer"
He roughly seized her hand and clap
ped it on the key. She drew it away,
leaving his there A binding fash of
lightning illuminated the place, and
what looked like missile of fire flew
down the wire to the instrument, where
it exploded O'Reagan fell insensible
from the powerful electrical shock. The
rest did not altogether escape and for a
minute all were dazed. The first thing
that they fully comprehended was that
OReagan was getting unsteadily to his
feet. He was bewildered. Staggering
and reeling he began to talk.
Mary was first to perceive the import
of his utterance. He was merely going
on with what he had been saying, but
the manner, not the matter, was as
founding.
He spoke with an Italian accent and
made Italian gestures.
"You-a send re message" he said.
Heath ees re murder-are. Send-a 70
message, l say"
Tonic Ravelli had unwittingly re-
sumed his Italian style of English.
His plentitude Of hair and whiskers
was gone, and in the face thereby uncov-
cred nobody could have recognized him
in Detective OReagan but for his lapse
into the foreign accent, and he said SO
much before discovering his blunder
that his Identification as indeed Ra-
velli was complete.
Who, then, was the dead man? Why,
he was Eph.
Nothing but the fear of being himself
condemned as murderer of the maniac,
as part of the scheme of revenge against
Gerald, induced Ravelli to explain. He
had found Eph lying dead in the path
after both had parted from Gerald. The
plot to exchange clothes with the corpse,
drag it to the furnace, burn away all
possibility of recognition, and thus make
it seem to be his murdered self, was car
ried out with all the hot haste of jeal-
GUS vengeance. Ravelli was not an Ital-
ian, although very familiar with the Ian
guage of Italy, and able by natural gift
of mimicry to hide himself from pursuit
for previous crime. Overlook had been
a refuge until his passion for Mary War
riner led him to abandon his disguise.
Thereupon he had turned himself into
Terence O'Reagan, a detective, whose
malicious work wrought happiness for
Gerald Heath and Mary Warmer,

Driven to the Support Of
the Force Bill.
Great Party Necessity Proclaimed
and the Absentees Sum-
moned by Wire.
Purpose Of Edmunds and HOar with Res
pect to that Measure and
CIOture Rule.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 3.-News that Senator
Ingalls, has started eastward in response to
urgent kilograms from Edmunds and Hoar
was received with some enthusiasm by the
friends Of the election bill in the senate.
The announcement had been made that In
CALLS intended to remain in Topeka until
the legislature had elected his successor
and the republican managers were very
much afraid they would not have quorum
of republican senators here next week.
Paddock says he cannot be here next week
and Squire also announced his intention TO
remain III the west for week or more.
Urgent kilograms have been sent to them
and they may be persuaded to return.
Every republican vote will be needed in the
senate next week, and it is not unlikely an
effort will be made to "sit out" the elections
bill, and the democratic senators can be
counted on to break quorum if possible
by absenting themselves from the OF hmber.
As stated by Hale and Teller during the re-
cent debate in the senate. nothing has been
done publicly by the democrats to indicate
that they intend to fiiibuster against the
bill. As bearing on that point the assertion
OF leading democratic senator recently
may be quoted, to the effect that his party
would "use every fair and honorable means
to beat the BILL" with a supplemental state
ment that the democratic leaders had not
put forward their heaviest speakers vet
At an informal conference of democratic
leaders tonight, It is understood, it was
agreed to use all legitimate parliamentary
means to defeat the federal election bill
and the proposed cloture scheme.

BERLIN. Jan. 3.--PrOf. Koch il in ill
hunor over the increasing severity of pro
fcssi0nal criticism here and abroad. IL is
understood that he has asked Minister Won
Gosvler to relieve him from his pledge to
surrender to the state his right TO the dis
covery. Won Gossler was opposed to pub
fishing the composition Of the remedy until
foreign governments were communicated
with as to precaution necessary to secure
the protection Of genuine lymph. When the
landtag resumes it's sitting an official decla-
ration will be made repndiating any desire
on the part of the government to retain any
advantage through the production Of lymph
and expressing readiness to communicate
the process Of manufacture to other gov
ernments able to guarantee against the
abuse of it. In the meantime the anger of
medical circles arising from privileged
traffic in lymph is growing in warmth.
The relations between the conservative
majority in the landtag and the govern
ment increase in hostility. Tho Cologne
Gazette, Hamburg Nachrichten and other
organs Of the opposition, attack the en-
peror's policy all around. A review Of the
year became the pretext for bitter criti-
cism, contrasting the emperor's promises of
reforms with the negative results. The
Cologne Gazette warns Chancellor Caprivi
that nothing is more dangerous than un-
realized promises. The government, it
says, since Prince Bsmarck's retirement,
has achieved nothing. Projects for labor
reform, the alteration of the system Of tax
alton, new school system, new customs sys-
tenn, and new communal legislation has
opened up prospective Of internal con-
fict, of which it is impossible to force the
consequences. Munich semi official papers
refer openly to the internal policy of the
emperor and declare it is tending to a
crisis.
The treaty with Austria is threatening an
influx OF Hungarian corn. and the emper-
ors alliance with the labor cause has made
the Hungarian members of the Keichstag

THREATENED TO SHOOT.
His Claim Was Jumped and He Was Fnl
OF Wrath.


Of Wrath.
BUTTE, Jan. 2.-tspeciaI. Rial Emery
created considerable excitement on East
Park street this morning by pulling Win
chester rifle and threatening to start n
cemetery. The occasion Of his wrath was
the attempt of several other men to jump
claim located short distance west of the
Clarence hotel. 1t appears that Emery had
located the claim, which the other fellows
jumped Wednesday night. To secure the
claim the latter had began the erection Of n
cabin. This becoming known TO Emery he
took n rifle and canped upon the claim last
night. When the jumpers appeared this
morning ard essayed to take possession,
Emery stood them off, and remained master
of the situation until the arrival of an
officer, who placed him under arrest. Judge
Newkirk this evening held Emery in $25O
bonds to answer for the gun play and the
claim jumping matter will be carried to the
district court for settlement.
