dict believes In the justice Of the claims
Of the late employees to that money, and he

the covert ment voluntarily obligated it.
self to give every employee two and one-half
days leave with pay for every month of
service, and then Congress failed to give
the public printer the power to discharge
that obligation. He recommends that the
public printer be given the authority and
the means to discharge the obligations of
the government to the ex-employes and
that the law on the subject OF leaves of
absence be so amended that whenever in
the future. an employees connection with
the office shall be severed. by whatever

The committee requested Mr. Benedict to

Esper returned to the fold reaching Wash
ington at O'Clock. Manager Schmelz put
him in to do the twirling, and for eight
innings Esper pitched winning ball, but in
the ninth four doubles. three singles and q
home run, which resulted In nine tallies,
six of which were earned, tell the story
Three old Washington players are with the
visitors, Connie Mack, Donovan and Killen,
the latter two or the team of 1892
For eight innings it was a toss up as to
who would win, and therefore the game
proved unusually close and interesting In
the first, Washington made one run, and in
the second the Pirates scored two. They
increased the lead by one more in the third,
but in their half the home players tied the
score. Both sides got a maA around in the
fifth and ciphers ensued until the eighth
when Donovan's boys made two. Then
came the slaughter in the ninth, which
wearied the Washington feeders.
Washington was clearly outplayed, but
they fought hard for victory. Tebeau made
q brilliant running jump catch, and Smith.
Donovan and Sugden also gathered In flies
that appeared to be safe. The score:

Needs Looking After,

John Cleary's strange conduct near Flor
Ida avenue and It'll street last night at
tracted the attention of Policeman Harro-
yer. who questioned him concerning his
identity and apparent troubles.
''Oh. I'm a little nutty,'' he said to the
officer. You know / Jumped over the
canal bridge about a year ago."
John had spent some time in the police
station this week and when accused of
being insane he generally says It's whisky
that causes the trouble and wants to go.
In the court cell this morning he spent
his time looking through the skylight, say
ing he wanted to find his wife.
Judge Kimball thought the man needed
looking after and held him for his rela-
tives.

| Your House with Incandsscsnts
New York Press: Mr.. ]. A. Corcoran
Of Jersey City has just completed q
novel experiment in the application of q
windmill to an electric lighting plant
The plant though an experimental
one, il now in operation without as
yet . single mishap. and the storage
cells furnish current for twenty
four incandescent lamps in Mr.. Corco-
rams residence. Everything points to
the complete success of the scheme.
The mill has diameter OF eighteen
feet, and at speed of twenty miles
an hour is capable Of delivering three
horse power The dynamo driven by
belt from the main gear charges q set
of storage batteries. 1t is SO designed
that throughout the wide variations of
speed OF the windmill it maintains the
potential constant Mr. Corcoran
says that the application Of windmill
to run the dynamos Of an electric
lighting plant will place electricity in
the homes Of thousands who can thus
secure their motive power from nature.
A windmill is not a very costly struc.
ture, and any one who owns bit OF
open land about his residence can
erect one and At up his simple electri.
cal apparatus inside Of It The thou
sands Of windmills one sees in travel
ing over the country, If Mr.. Corcoran's
scheme proves a permanent success,
may be utilized for lighting the resi-.
dences of the owners and those of
their neighbors, us well as drawing
water for stock. One windmill will
light half q dozen residences ut the
same time.
The machine in Mr.. Corcoran's wind
mill occupies a floor space of only
thirty inches square and fifteen inches
high. Tho dynamo has maximum
current capacity of thirty-five amperes
ut thirty five volts and is put into
action when the speed is 600 revolu-
tions, per minute, that is, when IN
eight-mile breeze is blowing.
A great thing that deferred expert
ments with windmills was the wind
itself, but it is believed that success
can be had with the average rate of
TX miles per hour that can be depend
ed on throughout the United States.
While the maximum and the minimum
rate, of course, vary during different
seasons at the sea- -coast and in differ
ent localities, the average rate of 7A
miles can be obtained at almost any
point in the country. Near the sea-
coast and in elevated localities the
average rate is much higher, and it is
in such situations that the first at
tempts will be made throughout the
country to apply the plan of generat-
ing electricity with the aid Of wind.
So it will be readily seen that the util-
ization of tine waste forces of nature
is steadily pushing itself to the front

Caldwell and Peckha m.

The story is now being told that Il was ,ls
Judge Caldwell who pulled the strings whlcn
secured the rejection of Wheeler H. Peckham
for Supreme Court Justice by the Intea ,Sn,
when Caldwell Mt Little Rock appointed re-
ceivers for the Atehison, Topeka iao,pe Santa pe
railway company there was great oo)ect,on
raised to that appointment by the Union
Trust Company of New York, one OF the
principal creditors OF that railway company.
Mr.. Peckham, as attorney for this trust COM
pany, sent a brief aud insulting telegram 10
Judge Caldwell, declaring that bis company
would not recognize that appointment; Cait-
well made no reply, but when Peckham' 8
nomination was sent to the Senate by the
President, it is said that Judge Caldwell sim
ply sent the telegram TO an influential senator
with whom he was acquainted and 1t was the
circulation of this telegram which changed
so many votes. The opinion OF those who
read the telegram was that man with tent
per like Peckham's did not possess the ju-
dicial mental poise and temperament 1t ia
thought that the senator who received this
telegram is Senator Wilson of Iowa. He is n
member of the judiciary committee OF the
Senate and voted against Peckham In the
committee and aftcrward.-Chicago accord.
