TALKING FOR THE TROLLEY.
Mr.. Truesdel States His Objections to the
Buda Pesth System.


As stated in yesterdays stan the Commits
sioners gave hearing after The STAR went to
press TO Col George Truesdeii. president of the
lexington Railway Company, with reference to
the bill submitted to them by the president
proposing 20 extend the right of said company
20 use overhead wires on the portion OF its
route from It'll street and New York avenue to
its northern extremity at 9Th street east and
Bunker Hill road for two years from the first Of
nent July, and to authorize said company to
use horse power on the portion OF its line au-
thorized to be constructed east and north Of
the Capitol.
The bearing was called at 4 clock Mr.. E.
Eurtx johnson was present with Col. Truesdell.
Col. Jruesdell stated that the reason they
wanted the right to use horse power on the ex-
tension Of their road aforesaid that the in
t-odust;on Of any Of the mechanical motors on
that part Of the line other than the overhead
trolley system would result in commercial dis
a-.er TO the company. Furthermore, that il
the use Of such mechanical motors was insisted
upon the stock covering such extension could
not BE- sold. for no investor would be foolish
enough 20 put his money into a concern in
the face OF inevitable disaster. He further
stated that while in Buda Pesth he had ex-
smined the underground trolley system
there and had invited proposals from the COM
Pany which constructed il to build hne
mere but tne price tney asked was eHoruOus-
Even II the system could be introduced here
At reasonable price. he claimed it was not
adapted to American use for the reason that the
width Of the slot sometimes over An inch and
q quarter through which the trolley passes.
would permit the wheels of nearly all OF the
ordinary vehicles used in American cities TO fall
through it. IL has not vet been demonstrated
that any Of the narrower slots of the systems
now under Experimentation will succeed, and
until such success Is assured he did not think
that his company should be put to the
expense of entering upon the construc-
tion Of an underground system. As to
the storage battery system. he stated that no
company could maintain it. The expense
Was beyond conception. and his company would
rather surrender its charter than TO continue
its nse. the expense was far greater than the
profit Besides the use Of heavy cars required
In the storage system was disastrous to the
streets. lie did not think that the public would
be any better served on the present line Of his
road by the substitution OF horses for the
trolley system. which his company would be
Obliged 10 do and are authorized by law to do
unless the time for the removal of the overhead
wires is extended as proposed in the bill under
Consideration

Oil Tested In Storms at Sea.

When commanding the Naiade dur.
ng the cyclone of Nov. 6, 1891,
Rear Admiral Cavelier de CuverviIIe
had the opportunity of testing the
efficiency of oil in calming the troub-
led waves OF the north Atlantic.
When the waves threatened to become
dangerous, he gave orders to fill two
coal sacks with tow stepped in oil,
one of them to be suspended freely
at the extremity of spar spanned
to the cathead, the other near the
bridge.
The effect was excellent. No seas
were shipped and the vessels escaped
without breaking a spar. 1t appears
that the oil takes effect on the
"breakers" due to horizontal trans
lation produced by the wind, leav-
ing the orbital motion or tsWelI"
unaffected. The former is the only
element of danger in rough sea.
1t was found that two sacks filed
with five Kilograms of tow, hold
ing five filters of COLA or ma
chine oil each, were sufficient to pro-
tect "A vessel IS meters long. The
oil had to be renewed every six hours.
Too much oil has the disadvantage
of spreading more slowly, and theo-
retically the best system of distribu-
ton would be one in which the oil
would reach the surface from below
in a large nymber of small drops.

Presbytery Of Winchester.

The Presbytery of Winchester met
in the Round Hill Church last Tues
day. Rev. r. w. Carter was INSTALL
ed as pastor of the church. The
presbytery then adjourned toLoudoun
Street Presbyterian Church, Winches-
ter, and licensed Mr.. W. Nee. White
to preach. A call from the Chestnut
Hill Church, in Richmond, was placed
in MIR. Whites hands and permission
given to accept it. Mr.. White is the
eldest son of Rev. DIR. White, Win
chester. Rev. r. A. White was
given permission to accepta call from
the churches at Pocahontas and
Browns Mill, in Southwestern Vir-
ginia. A call from the church at
Smithfeld was placed in the hands
of Rev. C. R. Stribling and he was
permitted TO annex that church to
the one he now serves in BerryviIle.
Wednesday evening the Presbytery
commissioned Rev. g. E. Hentherlite
as foreign missionary. He expects
to go to Brazil in July.

West Virginia is not only one of
the foremost States of the Union in
natural wealth and in her representa-
ton i'll both houses of Congress, but
is making her influence felt in other
directions, as we see by an editorial
in the Chicago Tribune of the 18th
instant. This article is complementary
of an investigation by the National
Commissioners of musical cuntro-
versY, and in favor of a Director
General. And there seems to have
been some Emusic in the air" too.-
The Tribune says that " the commits
sion has allowed itself to be control
ed by the fussy representatives from
Delaware, West Virginia, and such
Far Western States and Territories
as Wyoming, Kansas, and Utah. The
representatives from the great. Eas-
tern States and from such Western
States as Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota,
seem to have had neither voice or
influence in shaping events" Con-
Guiding the Tribune says: IS Some
provision should be made for an
executive head to settle disputes,
and meanwhile the commission itself
within its legitimate domain would
fare better if it we're not dominated
by the Delaware and West Virginia
representatives Certainly New York,
New England, and Pennsylvania are
big enough to have a mind of their
own" We are sorry for New Eng
land and poor little New York,
Pennsylvania, Illinois and the others,
but if the "fGssy" West Virginia
Commissioners, Nessrs. Butt and
st. Clair, will continue to knock them
out, we can't help it.

q Pure sakIng Powder

A baking powder that can be depended
upon to be free from lime and alum is q de-
sideratuIb in these days of adulterated food.
So far as can be judged from the official re-
porta, the Royal" seems to be tho only ono
yet found by chemical analyses TO be entirely
without one or the other of these suostances,
and absolutely pure. This, It is shown, results
from the exclusive use by its manufacturers of
cream of tartar specially refined and prepared
by patent processes which totally remove all
impurities. The cost of this chemically pure
cream oftartar is much greater than any other,
and IL lie used In no baking powder except the
"Royal," the manufacturers of which control
the patents under which It Is refined.
DR.. Edward g. love, formerly analytical
chemist for tho u. 8. Government, who made
the RnRly ees for the New York State Board of
Health in their investigation of baking pow
ders. and whose intimate knowledge of the in
gradients of all those sold in this market en-
aDles him to speak authOritatiYely. says of the
purity, wholesomeness and superior quality of
the Royal:
81 find the Royal Baking Powder composed
of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is u
cream of tartar powder, aud does not contain
either alnm or phosPhates, or other injurious
substance"
Prof. Loves tests. and tho recent official
tests by both the United States and Canadian
Governments. show the Royal Baking Powder
to be superior to all others in strength and leay-
eniDg power. II is not only the most econo-
mical in use, but makes the purest, finest fla
YOred and most wholesome food
