Ths Miners Lamp.

In many respects the miners electric
handlamp meets the requirements OF
mining work infinitely better than the
old safety lamp, but 1t has q radical
fault, which must be overcome if 1t Is
to be kept in use. The thrush Of mine
gas to the working galleries is often so
sudden that the miner has no idea OF it's
presence, and the only Q a he has of
discovering 1t is the combustion that
goes on within the netting Of his safety
lamp. AS q matter of fact, an electric
lamp will give q splendid light while
its too confding owner is being smoth-
cred. What is wanted 10 an electric
lamp fitted with an appliance that will

All the trains on the District railway
will soon be provided with electric read
ing lamps. to be worked upon the pen
ny-in-the-siot" principle. Preparations
are SO far advanced that the wiring of
the carriages is nearly completed. About
$500 lamps will be required. They are
very ingeniously constructed. A penny
dropped into the box will set a small
clock in motion for half an hour, during
which time the current will be switched
on, and the lamp will throw its concen-
trated rays direct upon the book or news
paper of the passenger who pays for 1t
and nobody else. Should any mischiev-
GUS person tamper with the apparat us an
electric warning will be sounded in the
guards van. Each lamp will be of &c
candle power, and there will be four in
each compartment. The current is de
rived from a battery, which will supply
four lamps. No date can be assigned fol-
the commencement of this special sys
tenn of illumination. but it is probable
that it will be inaugurated some time
this month.-London Telegraph.

last month sentenced in st. Louis to 90
years Imprisonment in the Missouri pen
itentiary at jefferson City. He is othei
wise known as Bart Mcclure and has
given much trouble to the police in all
the large cities of the west. His present
sentence, which is unprecedented i'll st.

criminal law, an old act which had been
allowed to grow rusty upon the statute

more than 80. Moore is 46 years old and

SOME FAMOUS OWARFs.

one That was Served lin . Fae n Passed
an q Talking Cal.
One of the most celebrated Of little
men was Jeffrey Hudson, who figures
in Sir Walter Scots "Peveril Of the
Peak" His history has been 20 often
written as to bear but a brief mention.
A whimsical mite was he, presented by
the Duchess Of Buckingham to Queen
Henrietta Maria, the wife Of Charles /,
served up In a cold pie, and many were
the pranks in which he took . part.
For instance, there was the party OF tat
tie baskets, as they were vulgarly term
cd, sitting down TO enjoy the "cupt that
cheers and . dish Of gossip at the same
time, while Butterkin, the cat. sat
gravely by.
The meal over, n guest offered puss
a bit of cheese, and was almost paralyzed
to have that animal speak up and say,
"Butterkin can help himself when he
is hungry" and then make of down
stairs, leaving the old crones with up
lifted hands, in wild confusion, shout
ing at their hostess, "A witch, a witch,
with her talking cat!' while it might
have gone very hard with the poor
woman had it not soon been found that
a wag. for a joke, had killed and fayed
| her pet grimalkin and dressed wee JEFF
frey in its skin.
When knighted by the king, Hudson
assumed many high and mighty airs,

In reference to Attorney General
Olney's recent report on the Sherman
antitrust law and the suits which he
intends shortly to argue under it before
the Supreme court, the New York
Record says: Mr.. Olney as good as tells
the peeple that the trusts cannot be
reached under this law, and he leaves 1T
to be inferred that they cannot be reached
by any law. 1t appears to be his opin-
ION that mono. Giles and trusts are dis
t,nctly guaranteed by the constitution,
lust as q democratic chief justice once
said slavery was.
He quotes Justice Jackson's decision
as a circuit judge In Ohio, which whitfield
the effect OF the antitrust law down te
the little end of nothing, and does 81
with manifest gusto.
Judge Jackson, now an associate
justice OF the supreme court, has ruled
so Mr.. Olney s~ays-that Congress can
not do any OF the things which the anti
trust law aims to do to limit the right @
corporations to acquire property or +
regulate their methods in doing 80.
