These hgures believe to be in excess
of what the actual running expenses
would be, and to Offset them, we will
have returns from incandescent lights in
stores and residences, which, believe,
will amount to between 81, 900 snd 81 500
the first year, and count In this estimate
only $500 as coming from the private
houses, whore the daily filling, cleaning
and care OF lamps is such a nuisance.
(If the good housewives of this town
would only compel the men to attend to
the lamps for one moath, feel sure there
would not be voice raised against these
electric 1ights.) Such being the case,
our street lights will cost as no more
than heretofore, and instead of paying
interest on $15, 900, which we are now
practically doing for our miserable oil

with nothing to show for it at the end OF

LETTER BOX.
Turn ON More Light!

To The Monitor Register:
On Saturday last l heard, with some
dismay, that my friend, Mr.. Reading,
had an article in your paper against
electric lights for our pretty little town.
As have been, and am still, strongly
in favor of any movement that is for the
towns good and improvement, l FORTH
with read the aaid letter, and was 50
much amazed, as well as amused, by its
contents, that have since then devoted
considerable time in informing myself.
on practical basis, just how much
plant, such as would meet all our re
quirements, would cost. / was under
the impression, from many articles which
had read and from statistics and talks
with those Informed on such matters.
that SIC, 900 would cover the total cost of
plant for us, used in connection with
our water works; but found, from read
ing that letter, that knew but "little
about electrical matters and became
more impressed than ever with the old
maxim "a little knowledge is a dangerous
thing" $685. 900 was the cost put upon
this plant to start with, and after that it
would cost us over So, 500 per year for
running expenses, and this excluding the
interest on the original cost, which at
per cent, would still further increase
the annual expense by $6,750, which
would soon necessitate us going into
bankruptcy.
would like to state right here, as
heavy taxpayer in the borough, that do
not want increased taxes on general
principles, and it is not to my interest to
advocate any measure which is going to
take money from my pocket, unless
feel sure that / will derive benefits,
directly or indirectly, from it that will
be equal to or greater than the out.
lay. Such benefits, l believe, would
derive both directly and Indirectly from
electric lights. Our town will be nearer
up-to. date, our streets will be lighted
(they never have been before, except on
moonlight nights, our property as q
whole will be more valuable and saleable,
Mr.. r. notwithstanding; our comforts
will be greater and "our vanity tickled -
and strangers within our gates will not
people of WoodstOwn haven't little
enterprise"

electrical companies in the world, whose
expert has been in our town, and who
ssknows something Of electrical matters -

Of this estimate would be snapped up in
a moment. So that the following figures
are below rather than above the cost OF
such a plant.

Ear in advance Of any ether nation in
the number Of the Moslems under its
rule IS Great Britain. IL India alone
there are about 10000, ,OC0 Mohamme-
dams, and they outnumber all the sub
jects Of Tho ctiign moro t..Gu two to
one. Besides, England rules Mohamme-
dams in other parts of her vast empire,
though not many in any one place. The
queen is the sovereign of many millions
more Moslems than Christians.
China il believed to come next as q
country inhabited by many followers Of
the prophet. Tho number Of Mohamme-
dams in the Chinese empire is estimated
all tho way from 80, Geo, 900 to 30, 000,
D00, and the smallest Of the guesses is
moro than Turkey can match. Holland
also has nogrly OF quite 80, 600, coo Mos
lem subjects in her populous and rich
East I1dian possessions. Java has fully
90, 600, coo people, and nearly all of
them are MChammcdans.
Tho Turkish empire is supposed to
contain about $4,000, 600 Moslems,
counting tho portion of Arabia in which
the authority of the sultan is not very
wol established and is in danger of bo-
ing destroyed at any time. Therefore it
is apparent that unless great error has
been made in estimating tho number Of
Mohammedans in the Chinese empire
the sultan is only fourth among rulors
