~5ncandescent Lights.

Incandescent electric lights are used
to illuminate the eyes OF mounted AM
mails. bears, tigers and lions, shown by
furriers. Here. obviously. q light with
a flame would not do, while the incan-
descent light answers h purpose wei
and conveniently. The wire is run
from the head down through the ami
mails body and out through one Of it's
feet to a connection with the service
wire of the store.
Incandcscent lights are used in rc-
f~rigerators. such as the ice y Oh
the Wholesale dealer in cut flowers and
the butcher. Their use in sidewalk
/ showcases is familiar: in dressing show
windows the flexible connection ad-
mits Of placing the light where it is
wanted with each new trimming Of the
window.
They are used in electric signs, some
OF which are permanent. while others
are formed Of letters that arc nova
bic, like types, so that the sign ma!
be readily changed as often as may be
desired. Electric numbers are made
in the same way.

PERSONAL.

AT the Chinese legation at Washing
ton it is stated that WI Ting Fang, who
succeeds Yang Yu as Chinese minister to
this country, has spent considerable time
in England, where he studied law and was
admitted as a barrister He has been in
the service of the Chinese government for
the past ten years, assisting among other
duties in negotiating the Japanese COM
mercial treaty. He is also a. government
director of the railroad from Tientsen
now in course Of construction.
AT a recent meeting of the India tax
commission it was voted to secure if pos
sible, the services of ex-President Harri-
son to make an argument in the supreme
court in behalf of the state of Indiana
to enforce the payment of taxes assessed
against the express companies. The COM
mission learned that he would not ap-
pear in any case for a fee of less than
5000. In the California irrigation cases
he received $1Os00e. His largest fee was
received two years ago from an IndianaD-
Oils street railway; it was $4,000. In the
Morrison will case at Richmond, Ind he
received $4,000 So far as General Har-
rison is concerned, the question: What
shall we do with our ex-Presidents?" is
not hard to answer.
AT the dinner given in his honor in
Philadelphia on Wednesday evening Col.
C. K. Mcclure, the editor of the Philadel-
phia Times, told the following story re-
lating to his first newspaper venture,
started fifty years ago: Il, well remember
the case of a frugal farmer of the Dun
ker persuasion who was sufficiently pub
lie spirited to subscribe for the Sentinel
for six months to get the paper started,
but at the end of that period he had cal
culated the heavy expenses of gathering
rinpniner gf to
his paper for a while, l need not say
that he was enthusiastically confronted
with many reasons why a man of his in
telligence and influence should not be
without the county newspaper but he
yielded only to the extent of further con-
sidering the matter with his wife. He
returned in a few days and spread sun
shine around the editorial chair by saying
that his wife had decided to continue for
another six months. as the paper would
be very handy in the fall for tying up her
apple-butter crooks"

Life in PhiIadeIphfa.

A certain travelling salesman, who has
an equal fondness for gaudy raiment and
practical joke, provided only the for
mer is on him, was standing in front of
well known jewelry store on Chestnut
street yesterday, says, the Philadelphia
Record. He was dressed in his loudest
suit, and looked the typical sport. He
was shining mark for a beggar, who
approached him with the customary plea
for assistance. "'Shl" Missed the Joker
through his clenched teeth. 81 haven't
a cent, and you'll spoil my chances of
making a few dollars if you don't get
away" The beggars face was the pic
ture of amazement. "These clothes are
only a bluff" whispered the sporty one
Were going to crack the place back Of
here tonight, and if we don't get away
with the trick, well-I've gun that'll end
my troubles" my Gawd, Jack" said the
beggar. I'D never guess you wuz down
that low. Say, I've got money to burn
and I'll stake you. Dis beggin' business
is a great graft. l got roll in me pock-
ct big as yer wrist Just then an elder
ly gentleman went by, glancing inquiring-
ly at the odd companions. See that fell
low look at me?" said the sport, when
the stranger had passed. Hes a detec.
tive. You track and come back here and
report in an hour" The beggar started
in pursuit, and he's probably still track
ing his man.

Fognrty,s Penitentinry Bill.

Mr.. Fogarty's penitentiary bill may not
be found to be wholly acceptable after
there has been a thorough discussion of it,
but we are inclined to think that the plan
which it presents for caring for the con-
victs is the one that will be adopted fin
ally. 1t is being demonstrated in Mis-
sissippi that a farm worked by convicts
under state supervision can be made to
support the states convicts and even to
| yield revenue to the state
It would of course require considerable
capital to purchase the necessary land,
stock, Implements machinery, and the
food supplies required until crop was
raised, but the money spent for food sup
plies would be returned to the state when
the crop was marketed.
1t would be necessary to have farm of
several thousand acres to accommodate
all Of the convicts, and to manage the
farm and the convicts successfully would
require a man of high executive and bust
ness ability. The farm ought to be located
in healthy part of the southern section
Of the state, because the cost of support
ing the convicts in a mild climate would
be much less than in severe climate.
They would need less expensive houses,
less fuel and less clothes.
A tract of five thousand acres would
not be any too large for a pententiary
farm. The number of convicts is certain
to increase from year to year, and land
can be purchased much more cheaply now
than it will be possible to purchase it in a
desirable locality a few years hence. lr
would cost 100000 or $4,000 to change
from the present convict system to the
one suggested by Mr.. Fogarty. 1t might
cost even more than the last named sum,
but under careful and intelligent manage
ment the convicts would pay it all back
in the course of a few years.
Under proper direction the convicts
would be not only properly cared for in
the matter of food and clothing, but eff
fective efforts could be made for the i'm
provement of their moral condition.
This legislature must do something to-
wards solving the convict problem. The
people are against the lease system, and
it is doubtful If it would be advisable to
confine the convicts in close quarters and
teach them trades. 1t is better for them
in all respects to keep them in the open
air as much as possible.
1t would not of course be advisable to
adopt farm system without knowing
something more about it than is now
known by the legislature. Would it not
be step in the right direction if the leg
islature were to appoint a committee of
three members to visit the Mississippi
convict farm and make an elaborate study
of it from every standpoint and report the
result of its observations at the next ses-
sion of the legislature? 1t seems to us
that it would.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-12-17

A few nights ago, says the Chicago
Times-Herald, a prominent Evanstonian,
who lives in a handsome home in Lake
street. was working overtime on the North
side, and when his business was completed
boarded a North Side electric car for his
home. He was enjoying the last of his
box of Havanas and was contemplating
how much the next box would cost when
the conductor came out on the front plat
form for fares. The Thoughtful man jam
med his hands into his pockets, and in his
dismay discovered that he had only a
counterfeit dollar, which he had been car
rying for months. Ten miles from home,
away from friends and BROKE" was the
unpleasant thought that flashed through
his mind, so he passed up the counterfeit
coin and received his change. Before the
car had travelled a mile the conductor
came again with a suspicious look on his
face and said: Either you or a lady in
side gave me counterfeit dollar"
ut was the woman, of course respond
ed the embarrassed gentleman; "they are
always doing such things"
The remainder of the journey was not
very pleasant to the man who was beat
ing" his ride at the expense of an innocent
woman, but he buried himself in the
thought and tried to forget. He left the
car at Lake street, and had started home
on a brisk walk when he heard footsteps
behind him. Turning, he saw his wife,
who rushed up, and in the most mortified
tones, said: How l wish had known you
were on that car. The conductor accused
me of giving him counterfeit dollar, and
made me give him new dollar before all
those people,
