BUSINESS HEsITATEs.
The New Year Opens With Universal
Uncertainty.

New YORK, Jan. i3.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
The new year begins with such un-
certainty that business is somewhat
retarded The proposed sale of bonds
offers ground for confidence in the fu-
ture, but no one is able to determine
what its earliest effects may be in the
money market, and for the time it is
cause of hesitation rather than hope
fulress.
Speculation in products has not been
active. Cotton Is unchanged, although
the receipts of the week have not
been very large, but some
Stacking appears in the foreign de-
mand. Wheat is about Ic higher
and corn the same, without distinct
reason in either case, for the govern
ment report, tardily conforming to
commercial estimates of some months
ago, did not command great conf
dence. Wheat receipts at Western
points were almost double last years
= ,505.7 702, against I, 500, 7Oi last year
but Atlantic exports We're a little
larger than last year, flour included
2.337, o36, against colo, zoo a year ago.
Corn receipts are about a quarter
larger than last year, while Atlantic
exports are about four times as large.

A LIGHT DIFFERENCE.
Plngree's Town Is Getting Cheap Elec
trio Lights.

AmSrees Town IS Uetting Cheap Elec-
trio Lights.
Milwaukee Advance: Detroit's mu
nicipal lighting plant has created great
interest among officials of other large
cities, and many delegations have in
spected it. Everybody was curious to
know what the saving over contract
lighting would be, if any, and City Elec-
trician Dow was asked that the plant
when in complete operation be given a
full months trial before the figures be
given out. The result for October
shows that there were lao arc lamps
in use, and incandescent lighting was
done in many of the municipal build
ings. The cost per lamp per month for
street lighting, including interest on the
100000 of bonds, is sos, or $S4.S6 per
lamp per year.
Under the contract system the city
paid $11.15 per lamp per month or
$133.S0 per year. At the same ratio the
city will save $4,000 this year over
the contract system. The quality of
the lighting was far and away better
than the old system.
And yet we have many honest people
who think we ought to pay tribute to
private corporations who run our public
utilities.

NOTES AND COMMENT.
Flashes of Thought from Independent
Thinkers.

Thinkers.
During the past seven years 134
American heiresses have married for
eign titles and have practically trans
ferred $200,000,000 Of wealth to foreign
lands. Much of this wealth is in
stocks and bonds, and draws dividends
and interest from American enterprise.
We are fast being made the serfs and
supporters of the pauperized nobility
of foreign lands.
The telegraphic monopoly has made
$100,000,000 in twenty years. In 1858
the capital stock of the Western Union
was only 1858, 700. 1t is now $3.50 ,0OO,-
600. Its entire plant could be dupli-
Gated for $30,000,0O0. The other $780,
100000 is water. Yet there are thou
sands and millions of people in this
country who pretend to think that they
would rather continue to pay prices for
telegraphic service that yielded mil
lions of dollars in dividends on watered
stock than for the people to own and
operate the wires as they do in England
If Cleveland had been as great a sue
cess in managing the finances of the
nation as he was in managing his own
the country would be quite prosperous
But while making fortune for himself
he has bankrupted pretty much every
body else. Perhaps the two things are
counterparts of each other and If the
first hadn't taken place the last would
not have occurred.-Nonconf
Of course to do this he would have
had to use some other nation to have
skinned, and to come to think Of it we
would like to have had him try his hand
on old John Bulls people. If Grover
could have made as complete success
Of skinning them, as they, with his as
| now be flying.
The opinions of Grover Cleveland
| who, with undisguised self-conceit
poses as the Moses of the financial ques
| ton, are entitled to no more considera
ton to-day than when, as sheriff, ht
acted as hangman at Buffalo, N. Y
Missouri World.
That's a center shot. A great peo
pie seem to think the moment a man ii
elected or appointed to high position
he becomes, In some mysterious man
ner endowed with a sagacity which h'
never possessed before. AS a fnattel
of fact he is not bit smarter than b.
was, and in many instances it makes ;
fool out of a man, and he isn't as smart
Grover Cleveland seems to be of. tn

A unique occupation for Il woman IS
reported from Berlin. The proprietor Of
Il large brewery there received u request
from n Russian lady to be shown the
interior arrangements Of the brewery.
After locking at various processes
through which the golden beverage has
to 80 the lady inquired for several de-
tails Of the pneumatic machinery in the
malthouse, which proved TO the brewer.
to his great surprise, that she was per-
fectly familiar with every detail Of the
entire complicated machinery. Upon in
quiry it was learned that the lady, n
Russian countess, had a large acreage
of barley growing OF her estate, and i'll
order to increase her revenue from this
source she had built "a brewery, which she
managed all alone. She was interested
very much in the pneumatic mailing
apparatus becauAe she could not get
skilled labor necessary for the produc-
ton Of malt on her Russian estates.
Tasting the product Of the Berlin brew
cry, she stated that her own beer was
not much inferior to the German prod
uct. When a few days later the brewer
received some samples of the lady's
Russian beer, be pronounced it excel
lent and not inferior III any respect to
the best Bohemian or German beer.
This lady is believed to be the only
woman brewer in Europe. -Philadel-

CAUGHT HIS TRAIN ON HORSEBACK.
A Runaway Locomotive Had Many Sleep
ing Pasnengera In Tow.

liz
Early one morning the engineer and
fireman of the Santa Fe overland train,
bound east, when near Cajon pass. i'm
agined they saw something on the track
right ahead. Thinking the train was
about to be wrecked they both jumped.
The engineer was rather badly hurt, but
when the fireman picked himself up out
of the dust he found that the engine had
made kindling wood of Il wagon to
which two horses had been attached.
Their driver had seen the headlight Of
the engine and had jumped i'll time to
save himself. and the animals them
selves were cropping the dried grass
along the roadside, which showed that
they had not been greatly disturbed by
the accident.
But the train, with nobody at the en-
gine's throttle, was plunging away
through the darkness, the passengers
asleep in their berths, utterly uncOn-
scioUs that they we're being drawn by "A
wild locomotive.
The fireman, who had been left be-
hind, thought he would try to Overtake
the flying train on foot. Then he changed
his mind and, jumping astride one Of
the horses, he set out after the runaway
train. He knew it must stop shortly, as
it had to ctEnb-a very steep grade, and
if the fire unNer the boilers was not kept
up the supply of steam would not fur
nish sufficient pressure to keep the
wheels going around. The vagrant train
did stop IA mile and q half from where
the accident occurred. There did not
seem to be any reason for an Interrupt
ton of the journey just at that point,
and so the conductor and brakeman hur-
ried ahead with their lanterns to ask the
engineer what had given out.
When they found the cab empty, of
course the trainhands were very much
my>tifed. They asked each other a good
many questions, and were engaged in
strange disappearance of the engine
crew when the fireman cam Looping
along ON the horse he had borrowed.
After explanation had been made, he
turned his horse toward this city and
brought the first tiding> the railroad
people had Il the missing train. A hack
was sent out to the scene with another
engineer, and as soon as steam was
raised the overland went on over the
hill through Cajon pass. The same car
riage brought the injured engineer to
the city,--Sau Francisco Examiner.
