High Voltage Electrical Currents.

High Voltage Electrical Currents.
Up to recently, says the Electrical World.
our ideas in regard to the consequences
of higher voltages were based upon ex-
perience with direct currents, in which the
considerations were danger to life and diff
Guilty with commutators, rather than with
simple insulation. Owing, however, to the
use of transformers with alternating cur
rents, which enable us to almost entirely
obviate danger to life from high voltages.
the voltage of 10000 used at the Frankfort
Lauffen transmission was less dangerous
in this respect than any arc-light currents
under the ordinary conditions Of use. On
account of me absence of commutators,
the voltage of 10000 was also produced by
the dynamo with less practical difficulties
than one-haf as great a voltage would
be in a direct current machine. The only
factor therefore to be ordinarily considered
in relation to the voltage of simple or null
tiphased alternating currents is the insula-
ton of the line and apparatus, and this
factor does not bee ome of direct import
ance until We approach a practical limit.
which seems to be yet far removed. With
direct currents, however, we have the two
additional factors of danger to life on ac-
count of the necessary disposition of the
generating and receiving apparatus and
difficulty with commutators, to which may
be added a third factor due to electrical
difficulties with high voltages at the re-
ceivtng apparatus, which do not exist where
alternating currents are employed with
but another illustration of the variance in
IDEAS derived from experience with direct
currents and those connected with alternat-
ing currents.

Let Him OF With a Warning.

This morning in the Police Court Sarah
Waters, young light-colored lady, charged
her husband, a very black young man,
some years her junior, by name Andrew
Waters, with making an assault upon her
last night. Andrew pleaded guilty.
Judge Miller said that there had evidently
been a good deal of trouble between them,
but that II he sent Andrew to jail there
would be none to look after Sarah. He
would lose his job and she would become
dependent on charity for support. 1t was a
hard problem to solve, but Judge Miller
cut the gordon knot by taking the boys
personal bonds and warning him that II he
ever raised his hand against his wife again
he would go down for eleven months.

Quarrel Between Neighbors Nearly
Ends in Murder.

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-A quarrel took
place early today between Charles Albertsin
Of No. ia West SD street and John Flied
man Of No. ITO West SD street. and Albert
sin is now suffering from the effects Of a
bullet wound in the left breast.
The two neighbors met a few minutes
after o'clock. They at once began to
quarrel and suddenly Fliedman drew a re-
volver from his pocket and aimed directly
at the region of Albcrtsins heart and fired
the latter falling to the ground with heavy
groan, and the blood flowing from a wound
in his breast.
A doctor was hastily summoned and found
the wounded mans injury to be not very
serious, although he had had a narrow
escape from being shot through the heart
Friedman fled after the shooting, but was
later captured and taken to the Yorkville
court, where he was held to await the re-
suit Of Albertsin's injuries.

MASS IN THE sIsTINE CHAPEL.
Changes Made in the Coming Papal
Encyclical.

Encyc1fca1.
ROME. Feb. S.-The anniversary of the
death Of the late Pope Plus TX was the
occasion for a requiem mass in the Sistine
chapel today. The pope. the members of
the sacred college and numbers of for
eigners were present. At the conclusion of
the mass. the pope, seated on the throne,
pronounced the absolution.
The pope appeared to be In good health.
The pope's jubilee encyclical will appear
on the 18th instant. At the last moment
his holiness struck out that part Of the
encyclical bearing on political affairs ow-
ing to the changes that have supervened in
the political situation since 1t was written.
In the document the pope thanks Christen-
dom for the manifestations made on the
occasion Of his jubilee. These manifesto
lions. he says. prove the vitality of the
church and the prestige Of the papacy. He
refers to his aged life. and says he prays
for the world the blessings of peace.
In reply to a letter from the Bishop Of
Liege, the pope has written thanking him
for his recent letter on the social question,
which, his holiness declares, is the leading
question Of the day.

AWAY WITH THE OLD RUIN.

A few years ago there was ruin on New Haven's historic green known as the old State House. There was lot of talk, or gab, or "yap" about 1t. Lovers. of the picturesque made pictur- esque shows of themselves in defense of it. Those whose brains were peculiar ly susceptible to the influence of the moon told how beautiful 1t looked in the moonlight. And those who wanted their fellow citizens to realize that they knew something of Greek art spoke about the Parthenon, etc. Spare the old State House, was the cry of the roman- tic, the moonstruck and the Grecian. Reconstruct it if you must so that it will hang together, but leave it to de- light our eyes and inspire our gush. One day, after the bread and butter people of the city had heard all the fool talk they cared to they cleared the old State House away in jiffy and gave the moon that once shone on it a chance to shine on as fine an area of green grass as there is in seven States. And though a few sentimentalists still mourn "the vandal deed" those who did it are fully satisfied that they did a good thing.
 Another ruin is now attracting atten- tion in New Haven. It is not pictur- esque, 1t doesn't look beautiful in the moonlight and though the Greeks have had much to do with it no art interest attaches to it. It is the ruin of the Democratic party. Strange to say, there are sentimentalists, even as there were in the old State House days, who want to see this ruin preserved and even re- constructed. To, such lengths are men carried by excess of gush and deficiency of reason. A committee has actually been appointed to see what can be done toward fixing up this ruin so that it will hang together while longer. The prac- tical people of New Haven should take this matter in hand even as they did the old State House matter. They have greatly improved the Green by the demolition of the State House. They can do as good a thing for all New Haven as they have done for the Green by de- molishing what is left of the Demo- cratic party.

THE GALLITZIy SCHOOL CASE.

Further particulars have been made public concerning the decision rendered by the Pennsylvania courts in what Is known as "the Gallitzin school case" The issue originally came up on an ap- plication to the lower court to restrain
 the school board of the borough of Gal litzln from employing as teachers In the
 public schools of the borough, sisters or members of the order of St. Joseph, a religious society of the Catholic Church It appeared In the application that six of the eight teachers in the common schools of the borough were members of the order and wore Its distinctive garb; that of the nearly five hundred voters of the borough, all but fifty were Catho- lies and that all of the members of the school board were Catholics. The lower court declined to issue the restraining order, and the case was taken to the appellate court. Judge Dean has now rendered an opinion, from which his col league, Judge Williams, dissents, sus- taining the judgment of the court be- low. In view of the conditions existing in this particular borough, which Is shown to be practically a. Catholic com munity, Judge Deans opinion is ap- parentIy worthy of careful considera- tion:
 Unquestionably, these women are Catholics, strict adherents of that faith, believing fully in it's distinctive creed and doctrines. But this does not dis qualify them. Our constitution negatives any assertion of incapacity or ineligibi- lity to office because of religious be- lief.
 It appears that the members of the school board are Catholics. The voters of the borough number between 400 and 800, and all but about forty of these Catholics. Under such circumstances 1t is probable that often the board will be wholly Catholic, just as we see, all over the commonwealth, in school districts largely Protestant the whole board com posed of non-Catholics. We cannot infer from the mere fact that a school board composed of Catholics has selected a majority of Catholic teachers. therefore it has unlawfully discriminated in favor of Catholics; because the selection of Catholic teachers is not a violation of law, or, which is the same thing, is not an abuse of discretion. Unless" this be the case, no court has power to revise the exercise of this discretion for the very sufficient reason the law has not made the courts school directors, while it has devolved on said citizens of Gal litzin borough the duties of thaf office
 Nor does the fact that these teachers contribute all their earnings beyond their support to the treasury of their order to be used for religious purposes, have any bearing on the question. It is none of our business nor that of these appellants to inquire into this matter.
 In the sixty years of existence of our present school system, this is the first time this court has been asked to decide as a matter of law that it is sectarian teaching for devout woman to appear in school room in new dress peculiar to religious organization of Chris tian church. We decline to do so; the law does not say so.
