What the New Illuminant Does
in Comparison With Other
Gas and Electricity.
A LIGHT THAT MAKES

The Gas May Be Transported IN
Tubes and Placed in a
House Anywhere.

II the coming of the millennium means The
getting down to first principles in the pro-
duction Of any given thing which enters
futo the uses Of man, then the millennium
must be at hand, so FAR as the artificial
production Of light is concerned. The ex-
pcTlments with the new iliuminant, acetylene
gas, which have been conducted in The series
OF exhibitions given daily 1t No. : 10 Seven
teenth street, are well calculated 10 amaze
scientists and 10 dazzle the eyes OF Investors
in the stocks and the new and wonderful
enterprises.
There are some general proportions TO be
stated about the rev iliUninaGt, which VIII

desirous OF some knowledge of It's proper
ties, for the astonishing results which an
exhibition of its utility reveals. Pirst,
Acetyicne produces a light, the sortness and
diffusiye power Of which nobody can con-
preheud who has not seen it. for there
is nothing in the way of artificial light to
which ii can be compared. Second, a small
quantity Of the gas goes long way; a
moderate sized cylinder, such as we see
now and then delivered at drug stores
which use carbOulc gas, lasting a good
sized house for months. Third. the cost OF
production is so low as 10 make "A COM

RECLAIMING 4 BRIGAND.
SkiIizzi Had Strange Adventure With
an ri


IA Criminal.
The last survivor of a wealthy Greek
family, SkilzZi by name, was in Naples
overseeing the erection of a magnificent
nausoleum to the memory of his brother,
recently deceased. The mausoleum was at
some distance from the city and n wilder
ness separated the building from the near
est road. in this wilderness Skilizzi had
enc evening a strange adventure, which he
related afterward to Mr.. Rudolph Lehman,
who prints it in his Reminiscences.
SkilizZl was on his way to his carriage
when he was accosted by notorious armed
brigand who infested the neighborhood and
had baffled all attempts to capture him.
Your purse or your life!' called the
brgand, al the same time leveling his gun.
skilizzi instead of being frightened an
swered quietly:
Put down that gun and let us have
talk"
The man obeyed.
II can give you my purse" continued
skilizzi, "and should not feel the loss of
IL; but would you gain much by its con-
tents? They VIII not 20 far, and you will
then have tocontinue brigand until you are
caughtand beheaded."
quite true, said the man: "but then 1
have wife and children. l cannotlet them
starve."
Suppose one promised to take care of
them, would you give up this infamous life?"
'If ! Were sure of it, said the man.
staggered, II would give it up tomorrow
Il give you" said SkilizzL "a gentle
mans word of honor that win take care
of your wife and children. VIII you come
with me, give yourself up, work out your
sentence, which will be infinitelymore lenient
than III you were captured, and begin an
honest life afterward?''
After some moments of hesitation the man
accepted the offer. They entered the car
riaSc together and drove to the nearest po-
lice station, where the man gave himself up,
to the unspeakable surprise OF the au-
thorities.
Through the iron grating which now sepa-
srated the twothe brigand shook hands with
his captor and said: God bless you!'

Anacostia.
| The Railway Assembly pat two busSeS into
| service Yesterday between AnaCostia and
the Navy Yard for tue accommodation OF
! passengers.
4 shrewd observer OF events predicted 10
| The Times that within very short time
the present problem would be solved by
the hcrdic company. II Is wen known that
| a & a certain junction of the drivers strike
| last summer the herdics were about to
| occupy the territory, and had President
Griswold executed his expressed purpose of
sending his car horses to pasture, his rcsump-
| ton Of business would have been futile, for,
| once on the road, with the pledged support
| of Anacostia and Southeast Washington,
| the firm hold of the herdic company could
not have been broken, and the street cars
would have had no patronage worthy of the
name.
Mr.. James Trainer, who was quoted In
Saturdays Star as having expressed doubts
OF the outcome OF the lockout stated TO a
Times reporter voluntarily yesterday that
the alleged Interview with him was q pure
fabrication.

in the Star, for I haven't seen it; but | am
informed that ! was represented as aying
that settlement that will be satisfactory

some such stuff. | said nothing OF the kind
Two reporters, who | understood were
from the Star, came Ia me for information.

Lawrence. 1 told them nothing.
AS matter OF fact my refusal To say
what seemed TO he expected to say proved
TO be very unsatisfactory to one OF them.
and ne pitched into me- | then plainly
told MN that l believed the Stars object
was TO disorganlze organized labor. and
! expressed myself SO forcibly that there
need he no doubt whatever as TO that part
of the Interview
The man who says that / have ex-
pressed doubt or that l am in doubt about
the Anacostia contest states what is abso-
luteiy untrue.''
AT meeting of the Bottlers' Association,
held yesterday, resolution was adopted
which forbids any member from patronizing
the anacostia Street Railway during the
lockout, the penalty for disobedience be-

On Saturday last, April 81, James
Hewett fell or jumped from a train
about nine miles beyond Huntington
and was killed. Jim was for long
time superintendent of the Maria
mine at Mineral and has for a num-
Der of years been well known at that
place, Weiser and elsewhere as a
broad hearted miner and an honest
man. His rough miners outside
sheltered a noble and warm heart
that won him many friends, and
though no relatives of his were near
to follow his bier, all who knew him
long will pay the tribute of a silent
tear to his memory. Jim was about
3S and had an old mother and sis
ter in Waltham, Mass, his native
town. His funeral took place at
Huntington, conducted by Father
Verhaag, of Baker City's Roman
Catholic church, and may it comfort
the old mother and sorrowing sister
to know chat, while the boy and
brother went to his grave in the dis
tant land of the golden western sun,
far from home and his few kindred,
he was not unwept nor lacking in the
last sad tributes, as numerous floral
offerings to the dead were laid upon
the casket by gentle hands, and many
eyes were dimmed over his untimely
fate.
