A fair audience listened to an in
structiVe lecture from Rev. e. A. Ia
Dor, in the Y NC A hall yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Tabor is certainly
right in insisting that men lead pure
lives as wen as women. Filth, loose
ways and impurity ofcharacter, should
be alike condemned among men as
women. Public sentiment needs
correction along this line.

formed from her last weeks titled, aristo-

sunshine, song, sincerity and slang;
there was Phil Hunt, the aged "Owen

bleman, and the other members of the
company, too, underwent extreme trans
formation. The play was beautifully
staged, and, for q first night, ran very
smoothly. One or two more performances

BIG FIGHT. ENDED.
Providence Elects Her
Commissioners.
A VERY LIVELY SCRAMBLE.
Commissioner McCarthy's Friends
Make Gallant But Losing Fight.

Notwithstanding the many loud pro-
testations In and around the General As
sembly at the time of the passage of the
new License Commissioners act, nearly
two months ago that 1t would remove the
question from politics, 1t does not seem
to have been very successful In accom-
plishing what its author prophesied for II.
Very likely Is was not intended that 1t
should.
However, one thing Is certain, that
Providence has got 1t bad, and IL was only
last night that the City Council could
agree TO come together to make AN effort
to elect the five men who are to compose
the Board OF License Commissioners for
the next five years, and only then after the
hardest kind OF political fight, wherein
trades for votes between factions of each
party were the order of the night.
Although the salary was reduced to
600 year from fl,200, there seems to
have been as big scramble for the office
as when the salary was at the largest fig-
ure. This makes II appear as II there was
some other motive besides patriotism and
a willingness to serve their fellow citizens
involved.
The successful candidates were Charles
Edward Paine, George ii. Burnham,
Thomas Nixon, John l.. Sprague and John
M. Studley.
The friends of Commissioner Mo-
Carthy made a gallant fight for him.
They remained true to the last and went
down with the colors fiying,
For the five positions there were 10 can
didates named altogether and only the
first one, MIR. Paine, was elected without
opposition.
This shows that the liveliest kind of
scramble was made for the places and
that they are not quite removed from
politics as yet.

Municipal Lighting Plant.

Editor OF the Tribune.
The question of q municipal electric
lighting plant being now prominently
before the public and the wisdom OF the
city owning such plant or the question
being likely to come before the City Coun-
at an early day, desire to lay before
your readers few facts relative to the
commercial candle power of an arc lamp,
so.calied.
A great deal of confusion Is caused by
the terms 1900 candle power and 1900
candle power, ETC., In referring to arc
lights. II is we'll known to electricians
and to those who have only a superficial
knowledge of the same that the value of
an arc light for general illumination is
greatly enhanced by the fact of the dis
tribution Of light being mainly In a
downward direction In continues current
arcs.
This, of course, follows from the posi-.
tive carbon crater being a bone, such
crater being the part from which most of
the light comes.
The spherical candle power of arc lights
would be only a fraction of the rated
Chhuic pOWcT kcucTuiiy thkcu ht INC IfhAl-
mum light obtainsble In the best direction
from the particular arc or kind of arc in
question.
For this reason the term $4,000 candle
power" has little significance, as indicat-
ing the Illuminating power OF an arc
light. II is now generally taken to mean
an arc with 10 amperes and not less than
45 volts potential difference bet ween the
carbons, or a 460 watt arc.
The quality Of the carbons will deter
mine whether 450 watts will be expended
In obtaining the most light or not.
As matter of fact, all attempts made
by purchasers of electric arc apparatus to
measure what they usually term the ac-
tual candle power of arc lamps have been
dismal failures, as there are only few of
the best fitted laboratories In the country
In possession Of instruments by which they
can determine the mean spherical candle
power Of an arc.
In view of these facts, 1t Is my opinion
that the city government will not do JUS
tice to the city unless II takes steps to
erect an electrical lighting plant to DO
owned by the city as soon as possible.

MURDERER AT LARGE.
North AttIeboro's Mystery
Continues TO ThiCken.
NO DEFINITE CLUE YET,
The Plausible Theory Entertained by
the Police.

From whatever point 1t 1t Is viewed the
North Attleboro MCCARTHY murder Is
an impenetrable mystery. The more the
case is looked into and the more clues that
are followed up, the thicker the cloud of
mystery becomes. While the officials
would like to think 1t is something beside
a murder, 1t is impossible to do SO with
the information at hand.
Officer ID. b. Freeman has run down ru-
to find himself as deep In the mystery as
before. The officials are working as sys-
tematically as they can, considering that
none of them have handled a case OF this
magnitude before.
Deputy Sheriff Brown, who was to have
had charge of the search, was unfortu-
nately called away, and was away all day
today on local case which Is being tried
at the Superior Court at New Bedford.
While the officials shave had several
clues that looked to be important at first,
they have run them down and found they
had no connection with the case whatever.
II is the opinion of the authorities that
the wounds could have been made by the
use of the club found. 1t is q quite heavy
piece of chestnut with a sharp edge, which
Is sufficiently sharp to make cut almost
as clean as that with a knife.
A wound that is especially puxzling is
the one Just back OF and above the right
ear, which consists of a well defined hole
as large as a silver dollar.
In view of this II has been suggested
that hatchet may have been used; that
the other wounds might have been made
with the blade and the hole might have
been inflicted by a powerful blow from
the back part of the head of the hatchet
The police theory Is that the deed was
not committed near the banks OF the
pond, but that the old man was inveigled
into some house and there set upon and
murdered. There are two or three things
that lead up to this conclusion.
1t is thought that there may have been
some tough in the barroom who saw the
old man had money and followed him out
for the purpose Of getting 1t. He may
have offered more resistance than was ex'
pected and 1t was found Necessary to us,
violence.
