ne udS the same COm1n1SS1On. lie mas the same duty. The prophets of today are men of talent. They are magnif- gently endowed. They are the best trained ministry the world has ever seen. Why this pitiable weakness in our centers of life? Alas, they have killed the prophetsl There is no doubt ing the fact. Some of them have been choked to death by orthodox collars.
 STRANGLED TO DEATH.
 Professionalism has failed in our great cities often because it had in it too much Romanism without the power of Rome. The brethren have been busy keeping the faith. They have kept large pack of hounds to chase heretics out of the fields. They have spent their energy in { silencing men that do not follow after their sect. For the last 20 years the church has been busy manufacturing preachers who wear the collar of certain creeds. Some of our seminaries have advertised that their collars are warrant ed to hold, and when the victims have begun to grow, the collar being made of immovable material, they are of necessity choked to death. You can go by some of these churches and hear them wheeze. You can hear the death rattle in their throats. Their teacher told them that 0 sermon is a work of art, and they have been making it 8 work of art so skill fully that there is not point or a cor ner anywhere about it. Itmakes not the slightest impression upon the hard con- science of men and women who hear it.
 When some of these poor fellows get tired of the collar and try to take it off, there is 8 sensation of the wrong sort. Some of these preachers in our cities have been murdered to death. They have been murdered to death by conven- tionality and traditionalism. In all the pews in these solemn mausoleums there sit stranglers whose hands are skillful in the art of throttling the personalityof the men who fill the pulpits. Men come to the city full of rural enthusissms.

dict for the defendant. The parties are

Darlington represented the plaintiff and
stated that the complaint was that defend
ant on May 2. 1892, said of and concerning
the plaintiff that he was using boxes in
selling his Strawberries containing less than
a quart, and was thereby deceiving the
public. The complainant testified that while
1t was true he had some boxes measuring
less than a quart, he was selling for quarts
only the larger for % cents and others at 20
and IL cents. The defendant claimed the
truth of his statement, and two witnesses
testified to buying the short boxes for
quarts. The plaintiff denied that he had so
sold them. The court instructed the jury
that IL they found the boxes were placed on
the stand to deceive. the plaintiff could not
recover. and that ii was the duty of the
plaintiff to inform the public that the
short boxes were not quarts. Messrs. Gar
nett and Maedel appeared for defendant.

Municipal VS.. Private Lighting.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The old saw that "a little learning is a
dangerous thing" was never better exempli-
fed than by the article in your Saturday
issue entitled Municipal VS.. Private Light
ing Mr.. Dodges motive in educating the
public in the technicalities of electric light
ing may be worthy one. but 1t would be
well for him to take an A, b, c course in
electricity before assuming the role of
educator. He says: THE volt indicates
the volume of current. the 'ampere' the eff
ficiency of same" If this is so then Cor
den, Thompson and all electricians of any
prominence are mistaken, as we'll as the
writer. Again. concerning the candle power
of arc lamps he says: THE terms 1000 can
die power. 1000 c. p, &c, are what is term
ed the nominal candle power of lights US
ing a current of a certain number of volts
and a certain number of amperes." Here.
again. is an item of news that will surprise
the electric lighting fraternity, for in an
experience of ten years l do not know Of
a single instance where this rule has been
adopted. either by consumer, producer or
arc lamp manufacturer. That statement Of
Mr.. Dodge's which reads, LAS our arc
Lights are by law only required to be a NOM
inal 1000 c. p. it will readily be seen that
in reality they furnish but about 625 c. D.,
even if they are really 1000 nominal C. D.,
which may or may not be the case" is in
correct If Mr. Dodge will again consult
his friend. Capt. Derby, he will learn that
the law requires of the electric lighting
company of this city nominal candle
power of 1000 and an actual candle power of
1000, and If he had the slightest practical
knowledge of electric lighting he would
know that there is not an arc lamp in the
city of Washington that is not above the
latter requirement. If in all dealings be-
tween producer and consumer (electric) all
technical terms were swept out of existence
it would be far better for both. AS for the
public. who pay the bills, what they require
is light, more light" and they are perfect
ly competent to determine whether they
are getting a good light or not without be-
ing educated up in the matter of watts"
"amperes' and candle power" AS for the
District furnishing it's own light, If Mr..
Dodge has no better authority than that
feeble wall from Youngstown (why not
"Squeedunk) the query may be dismissed
at once. only 1t may be matter of deep
thought as to why no city of the first class
in the country has its own plant. Pardon
me- 1 forgot Alexandria, but let it go.

DENLY LIGHTED STREETS.
What Capt. Derby said About Light
ing I'm His Annual Report.

ing in His Annual Report.
As stated in The Stars summary of the
annual report of Capt. Geo. McC. Derby.
assistant to the Engineer Commissioner
of the District. an increased appropriation
for street lighting was urgently RECON-
mended. The report said:
AT the close of the fiscal year the streets
were being lighted with 332 1000 candle-pow-
er electric lights. an increase of eight 1854
gas lamps an increase of 49, and 100 oil
lamps. an increase of l6l.
THE service has been about the same as
heretofore. The streets of this city are
most difficult to light, owing to the great
number of trees planted on the curb line.
The heavy shade makes the use of large
electric lights at wide intervals generally
unsuitable. and the high price charged by
the electric company makes it impossible
to even extend this system to all the streets
where the trees will permit. The trees are
generally located so near the curb that the
lamp posts have to be set on practically
the same line as the trunks of the trees,
so that even in winter, when the trees are
hare of leaves, the streets look gloomy at
night as compared with the streets of most
large capitals. Experiments are in pro-
SresS looking to Il change in the type OF
lamp post and lantern to obviate this diff
Guilty as far possible.
nc lOliO"lHS estimates are respectfully
submitted for the next fiscal year:
One superintendent of lamps $500 sub
mitted), $3.50; for three inspectors of lamps
zone submtted), at $500 each, 81, 700; for
maintaining. operating and extending the
street lighting system ga, 200 submitted,
$50 600.
"A marked increase is asked in the appro-
prlatlon Tor street lighting. because 1t is
not believed that the existing service is
satisfactory, or in keeping with the high
standard set in other branches of the city
government; nearly all of the streets are
but dimly lighted, many of them not light
ed at all; there are many thickly inhabited
alleys entirely without lights, and 1t is
very generally believed that it is high time
the street lighting department breaks free
moon.
The necessities of the department have
been further discussed in my report to the
Englneer Commissioner, dated October Is,
1893, and need not to be further dwelt upon
here"

which has been planned by the Legion of
Loyal Women, will be held in the hall of
the Builders Exchange instead of in the
hall of the Legion, GA 18th street. This
change was brought about by the advice of

while their hall was all right for seated
