Electricity DisplaOing Steam.

The Baltimore & Lehigh Railroad
Company will use electric motors on
its line between York and Baltimore.
Power will be furnished by the Sus
quehanna Electric Company. The
Pennsylvania section of the railroad is
to be made broadgauge. The Susque
hanna Company was organized to
build the dam and power-generating
station near Conowingo, Md, and a
company is now being formed in
Baltimore with a capitalization of over
$1,000, 900 to push the project of sup
plying electric power to different large
establishments and railways. The
station for the distribution of the
$4,000 horse power generated is to be
built in the suburbs of Baltimore. 1t
will also contain facilities for storage
of power on large scale by the latest
improved mode. While the parent
company will control the use of this
power and own the dam, stations, ETC.,
branch companies are to be formed
in Baltimore and any other city or
town where the power is transmitted
to any extent. The branches will pay
the parent concern so much for their
franchises and rent the power in the
district where they are incorporated.

He VIII Live On.

A man who had just dined at a
Woodward avenue restaurant recently
was picking his teeth in that self-satis-
fled way SO aggravatlng to a hungry
person when he was accosted by a
pedestrian, who promptly introduced
himself as follows:
'Deeyening, sir. / am bum. My
name is Dawson. l want to ask a fa-
vor of you"
IL swore off long ago" replied the
diner as he carried the toothpick over
to his other jaw.
You mistake my object, sir! / ann
not asking you for money to pay for
drink, lodgings or food. l do not want
to go to Toledo, Buffalo, or Chicago.
In fact, sir, l do not want money to
live on, but to die on"
"Um! Want to die, eh?"
Il do, sir. This is my last night
in the beautiful city of Detroit and
also on earth. BY midnight my soul
shall have winged its weary flight to
that mysterious realm"
Going to commit suicides"
81 am. l have coolly and calmly
figured it out. Life has been a fail

But why should dying man want
money!"
II owe a man in this town twenty
five cents. He is good man, but
poor. He lent me the money to keep
me from suffering, and ! won't be
mean enough to die and leave him to
whistle for it. | want to put that
quarter in his hand and say to him:
Jim, old boy, | am going hence, but
before | go | want TO square up.
Here's your quarter and may heaven
reward you for your Kindness That's
what / want to say, sir, and l now
ask you for the coin"
Eyes. You are sure to die?"
MY mind Is irrevocably made up"
'And Jim must have his quarterY
''He must
'I'll do better than that" said the
man as he pulled out book and pencil.
Give me Jim's address and I'll call
around in the morning and break the
sad news of your death and hand him
half, What's the full name, please?"
"INhe full name? Sir, you are evil
IDENTIFY a heartless human reptile, and
| want nothing more to do with you.
Keep your money, sir-keep your
money, sir-keep your money and I'll
be hanged if | commit suicide. No,
sir-no, sir. When / see such evil
dences of the cruel heartlessness OF
the world it decides me to live ON Just
as long as l can and be just as mean
as / can. Consider our interview at
an end. Good night, sir"
And he drew himself up and stalked
off through the darkness and left the
man to chew his toothpick and look
after him and regret his unjust sus-
picions.-Detrolt Free Press.

Next, the pupils may exchange

No one dared to approach the woman

"All at once the lion turned mis- gaze
on the prostrate form of the woman,

side with one bound. The spectators
were mortified, expecting the next mo-

In compltaace With - invitation from
tie DardanelIe Democratic Btmetallic
Club, Senator Jas. X. Jones addressed
the cttisens Of Yell and adjoining
counties. st Dardanelle. on last Satur-
day evening.
There were large number Of
representative citizens and Democrats
present, and many ladies grsced the
occasioa With their presence,
Hon. ]. T. Harrison acted ~ chair.
nan. and introduced the distinguiahed
and able champion Of free silver. who
was given most cordial and enthusi.
astic greeting.
After thanking the audience for their
presence and reception. and before pro-
ceedins with discussion Of the question
oe finance, Senator Jones made an
excsption to his usual policy Of Ignoring
misrepresentation Of his position. and
e9posed one recently pubaished tn .
southeastern Afkans6s newspaper, 70
ths e6ect that hs had introduced . bill
providing for TIE issuance of 600 900.
900 Of government bonds. and The paper
argued from this how could Senator
Jones b. consistent IN his advocacy Of
TIE free coinage Of silver and favor the
issuing Of government bonds.
Tbs truth Of the matter b-as every
one at al informed kuows-the Issuing
ol theoe bonds was pfedicated upon the
granting of tAe free and unlimited
coinage q silver, and also for the
returning and cancellatiou Of the 600,
900 900 Of treasury notes that have 20
frequently served TO deplete the treasury
Of IL gold, and until extin&uished are .
nuisnnce to Tie national credit.
Senator Jones introduced his financial
measure - compromise. ~ be did the
tariff bi1l. from which the people are
now receiving great relief. and because
b know that Il was only BY such COM
promise anything could be Effected, and
even that was not accepted by the
administration and gold monometallists.
His bill was not what he desired, -
was stated by him ct the time. but the
best he could hope 10 get.
In the discussion Of the finance oues-
tion, and advocacy Of the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver, senator
Jones made an able argument and
that followed the demonstration Of
etlver In 1873. and The greater injury
tha* would inevitably follow II the
present laws were not changed.
Il n impossible to do Senator Jones
Justice, or to give . synopsis Of the
speech that would be ct ell satisfactory,
20 we win not attempt II, but can
assure our readers II was all the most
earnest and sealous advocate Of free
silver could desire, and great good for
the cause was done by It.
