An Electrical Pool Marker.

PLAYERS of the seductive game of pool
often find it desirable, especially on private
tables, to dispense with the services of the
attendant whose duty it is to mark the
score. To meet such conditions an cleo
trical register has been devised. by which
the progress of the game can be accurately
recorded. Contact buttons are so arranged
in front of the pockets that when a ball is
holed it strikes the button, and the point
is registered by an annunciator on the wall
of the room. The same principle has been
applied to pin pool table. Push buttons
are fixed in the place of the pins on an or
binary pool table, and the balls passing
over the buttons make a connection which
is shown on the annunciator, so that when
the player has finished scoring, the total
number of points made are automatically
recorded

have hitherto been carried on almost entire

The cheapening of electricity for light
and power purposes is only matter OF
time. In England the cost of production is
being rapidly lesseRed by Improvements in
dynamos, and even more in lamps. After

pires, the price of an incandescent lamp

price. go cents. A curious circumstance is
noted in the returns of one of the London
stations. The income per lamp has gone
down from 10 shillings per lamp in 1890 to
9 shillings per lamp last year, q result
that the public are becoming more accus-
toned to the use of the electric light, and
take more care in turning it off when not
wanted.

the girl like her mother. 1t seems to me
that one of the most foolish ideas that can
be held by sensible people is that the pa
rents ought not to try to "bias" the reli-

purpose of the family, the great reason for
its existence, is in order that 1t may set its
bias on the character in every direction.
The father and the mother ought to have in
their minds clear ideal OF what is right,
and to impress that ideal as firmly as they
can upon the children. If man and a

they ought to bring up their children to be
the same kind of Christians they are. If q
man and woman believe that it is right to

life, they ought to bring up their children
to be intidels, to account the Bible lie and

Frederick Miller is a jOurneyman baker
who boards at IrviDgton, in Alameda

John Williams, a boss baker, and j. n
Smith attacked him, threw him to the
ground, beat and kicked him while down,
tied his arms to his body with a rope and
handcuffed him, and then compelled him to
walk from his b clearinghouse to the bakery
owned by Williams. While thus bound and
dragged he was exposed to the gaze of nearly
the entire population of IryingtOn.
What was the cause OF the alleged ont
rage? 1t seems that Williams wanted
Miller to resume work for him. and when
he got him to the bakery he made him
promise to furnish security to that effect
Even after his promise, he was marched
back TO the boarding-house in the same

Yesterday morning Sidney Bell was on
trial in Judge Murphy's court on a charge
of robbing John II. Curley, Market-street
tailor, of money, watch and other personal
property, by standing him up on the side
walk at an early hour on the morning of the
10th of last November.
On the previous day eight jurors had been
secured; and as the defense had exhausted
its challenges. the remaining four were
quickly obtained.
John II. Curley testified to the robbery on
the date named, and identified Bell as one
of tile two men who ''stood him up He
also identified the watch aud chain taken
from him.
l.. S. Fox testified that he purchased of
Bell watch and chain, paying him SOS for
them, and identified the same watch agd
chain previously produced as being those in
question,
Detective Robert Hogan testified tina:
Bell admitted to him that he aud Schmidt
robbed Curley. 1t will be remembered thai
Schmidt was a witness against Bell In his
trial for numbering Samuel NJ. jacobson.
Captain /. Lees of the detective force was
on the stand TO testify that Bell admitted
the robbery and t)ld him he had sold the
watch to man in the pOOIrooms Similar
testimony was adduced by another officer,

retired. and within ten minutes OF the closing
of the case for the prosecution the jury re-
turned to the box.
Have you agreed upon your verdict, gen.

reply aud Sidney Bell smiled as if amused.
On Saturday morning sentence will be
passed and ON the same day two other cases
of robbery against Sidney Bell will be set
for trial. but it Is doubtful ii they will be
pressed, as upon this conviction he can be
sent to the penitentlary for life.
