cause of the resistance of the air and the wear

The City Board of Health has asserted its
charter right and determined that the need
demands the employment Of Sanitary In
spector 1t has accordingly appointed one,
and fixed his salary, and now the Trustees
will be called upon to face the music and say,
if it dares to do SO, that the Board of Health
has not the power, and that Its judgment as
to the need for such an aid does not rise
superior to that of the Trustees. Clearly the
Board of Health is right, and in the con-
tention of law, if it comes to that, it should

Governor Brown of Kentucky lost his son.
He was shot by an outraged husband who
found the youth in the arms Of the wife
of that husband. Governor Brown now
declares that he will use all endeavor
to convict the slayer of his boy. That
is what any high-minded father would do,
but all the same, the slayer will not be con-
victed. Though he is not less a murderer be-
cause of the circumstances of the case, yet
there is a code among men that will override
the law and acqut such murderers.

ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
HOW the. System is Being Adopted
for Private Carriages.

no" the System is Being Adopted
for Private Carriages.
For private carriages an electric
lamp is placed inside, in the centre
OF the roof, and the twin lights are
shielded by circular glass plate
rather larger than the "bulPs eye"
OF an ordinary search light, but
nelther convex nor concave At the
back Of the lamp there is a dome
or beIt-shaped enameled reflector. The
carbon filaments are very diminutiye,
and the current is conveyed to them
by platinum wires. In this way the
roof Of a brougham is fitted with a
light which will not interfere With
person entering the vehicle. Each
OF these lamps gives a light equal to
seven calidles. In the first attempts
to light carriages in this manner
the moving Of the carriage was apt
to jar the lamps. often causing a
breakdown, and steel springs were not
found sufficient to prevent this. The
plan now adopted is to suspend the
complete lamp in Il sheet Of rubber
which is attached to the interior of
the carriage. neuttalizing the vibra-
ton.
A supply Of electricity for the lamp
is stored in an accumulation. One ac-
cumulator, weighing two pounds. is
the allowance for each lamp. Should
the two outside lamps be also electric
two batteries would be needed. The
outside illuminatorS are not of the
same shape, and differ in principle
from the interior lamp, but al India
rubber socket is used to reduce
cumulators, as the case may be, are
carried in the boot, under the coach
mans seat, and they are easily ac-
cessible. The coachman himself. with
out electrical knowledge, makes the
necessary connections. An eight cell
storage battery for an ordinary
carriage or brougham is a box eight
inches long, four inches wide and
seven inches deep. This keeps the
lamp lighted eighteen hours. which is
sufficient to last the owner from one
to two months. The cost of recharg-
ing varies, according to wear and
tear, from SOC. to $1-not more than
the expense entailed by the employ
ment Of oil lamps, which give out an
unpleasant odor and an uncertain ill
animation. The electric lamp does not
wear out unless subjected to careless
treatment. or unless it is weakened
by the application of too strong
current. The accumulation, however,
makes the latter contingency almoS
an ssibility.-Engineer.

Lions Ate the Bear.

From Lemberg our Vienna cores

has been fought at the railway station
at Rawaruska. A menagerie was be-

train stopped at the station great
noise was heard. The guards went to
the wagons containing the wild beasts
and found the wooden partitions
which separated three lionesses from
three bears and these again from three
hyenas broken down and the animals
engaged in battle. One bear, was
missing. The lions had eaten him,
skin and all. They had bitten an.
other bears paw off and a hyena lay
dead on the floor. Two lions in

The name Of Minnesota's senior sen
ator, G. *. Davis, is quite prominently
mentioned as possible candidate be-
fore the next Republican convention
for the presidency. Many of the East
ern papers speak very highly OF him,
and think his chances good.
The Chicago Times-Herald Demo
cratic) speaks of him in a recent artl-
Gle as follows:
Senator CuShman X. Davis of Min
nesota is likely to be strong candi-
date for the presidency in the national
Republican convention next year. For
many years prominent politician and
lawyer In his own state, Mr.. Davis
first attracted general attention last
summer during the railroad strike.
When that strike was at it's height the
knights Of Labor and other industrial
organizations appealed to Senator Kyle
OF South Dakota to introduce u reso-
luton in the senate favOrab BILE to the
strikers. The purport Of the resOlu-
ton was a declaration that unless the
transportation of United States mail
was obstructed the delay Of trains by
strikers was not an offense against the
federal government.
I'D. D. McInnis, a leader of the rail-
road strikers at Duluth, telegraphed
Senator Davis, in the name of railroad
employees there, urging him to support
Senator Kyle's resolution.
The Famous Telegram.
''The Minnesota senator replied by
wire as follows:
Il have received your telegram. 1
will not support Senator Kyle's reso-
luton. 1t is against your own real
welfare. It is a blow at the security,
peace and rights of millions of people
who never harmed you or your associ-
ates. My duty to the constitution and
the law forbids me to sustain q reso-
luton to legalize lawless18,ss. The

the public eye upon the writer at an

Davis a big competitor in the race for
the presidential nomination. To give
his candidacy a non-partisan appear
ance they will point to his speech
made in the senate last July, indorsing
President Cleveland's action IL send

mand in both parties for Western

favor.

ut is said that he is more ambitious
to be secretary of state than president.
His article in late number of the
North American Review criticising
Secretary Gresham's diplomatic pol

port. The Democratic administration

acts relating to our tariff treaty with
Prussia; it's attitude toward the Ha-

of the Japanese students to China a
few months ago.

'"The Minnesota senator is now fifty
seven years Old, having been born at
Henderson, Jefferson county, N. Y. in
1888. When he was boy his parents
moved to Wisconsin, where he grew
to manhood. He studied law under
Alexander Randall, Johnson's post
master general, and imbibed a good
deal of that jolly, bluff statesman's
style and habits. A years service in
the army broke down his health and
he came to St. Paul by the advice Of
