AN ADMISSION.
'- The statement that the company is
operating electric lights from the George
town and TenIeytown Railroad plant is
denied. The Potomac company has no
wires along High street; the wires there be-
long to the Tenleytown road and are used
for railroad purposes exclusively.
1t is denied that copper wires alone are
used for conveying currents of electricity.
but admitted that the two heavy iron guard
wires used to protect the trolley wires of
the Tenleytown Road have been replaced by
two heavy copper wires capable of convey
ing a very strong current of electricity.
1t is insisted, however, that these are not
used nor intended to be used for light or
power currents, but are for railroad pur-
poses.
The Potomac company, it is stated. has
sufficient electric plant at the Virginia end
OF the Chain Bridge. built there in 1891,
and is supplying its current from there.
The Potomac Company might much more
cheapfy have arranged with the Tenley-
town Company for use of its current, but

IN THE INTEREST OF MORALITY.
Ohio Minister'S Memorial to the SEN

Ohio Minister'S Memorial to the Sem
ate of the United States.
The Ministerial Association OF New Phil
adelphia and Canal Dover, Ohio, have sent
a memorial to the Senate, which was pre-
sented by Mr.. Sherman, concerning Ger
tain laws in the interest of morality. 1t was
referred to the Committee on the District
of Columbia. This was done at the sug-
gestion of the Committee on Judiciary.
Mr.. Hoar reported from that committee
several petitions of a like nature which
had been referred to it. The committee
found that the objects of the bill would
best be obtained through the legislatures
of the several Territories. As regarded
the District of Columbia, though, Congress
must act, and all the measures, therefore,
were referred to the Committee on District
Of Columbia.
The House Committee on Invalid Pensions
today formally reported the bill allowing
a pension OF S75 a-month to the widow
of the late Gen. Cogswel.

How A Cold WAVE TRAvELs.-
Cold waves, so-called-a compre-
hensive phaze for which we are in
jebted to recent meteorological re-
search and investigstion-are waves
Of heavy air, following the rarsfied
track of low barometer, and chang
ing to the conditions from mild OPP
pressiveness to clear, cold skies and
heavy air full Of life giving proper
ties. These waves are 80 marked
in their movements as veritable sea
waves, rolling over the land just as
q tidal wave rolls over the surface
of the ocean. Exactly where they
originate is q mystery, but it is al.
together probable that their start
ing point is somewhere on that bleak
plateau lying between Hudson's
Bay and Behring Straits. When
the waves reaches the outposts OF
civilization in the Rocky Noun
tains, the telegraph heralds the news
over the whole of the United States,
giving the impression that the home
of the blizzard is in the noun Gain
Gus regions of the Northwestern
States Of our own country. When
these waves reach the great plains
and the Missouri and Mississippi
valleys, they spread out and cover
the whole country, striking the At
lantic coast in q streak, extending
from Bangor, Me-, to Cape HATTIE
ras. After taking its plunge into
the ocean it RACES with great vio-
lence until it comes i'm contact with
the Gulf stream. That great Their
NAL current modifies and tempe
the blast so that it is but Spring
breeze by the time it reaches the
Burmudas, 600 miles from Charles
ten, s. G.

THE CASH BUYER.-The man
who always pays cash can dictate
prices within reasonable bounds.
The merchant will not let him leave
his store, il the price offered affords
any margin of profit. The mer.
chant sees that there is no risk or
trouble, that he gets back the mon
ey invested and some profit, and
gladly makes sale at price below
what he could afford to make to the
man who buys on credit; the cash
buyer pays fair price for what he
gets, but does not help pay the
worthless accounts of others; the
buyer on credit has to carry the
whole load. Many farmers are
somewhat in debt, and they say
they. must buy on credit. They are
the ones who should not do so,
even il others do. It is far better to
60 to neighbor, state the facts and
borrow the sum OF money needed to
put affairs on q cash basis, the saw
ing will amount to several times the
interest paid on the note. Then,
too, there is gain in other ways.
Ones credit grows better when little
used, and there is escape from the
worry of being dunned for little ac-
counts. When it is understood
that man always pays cash for what
he buys his opportunity to get what
he want increases. Those needing
cash are quick to give him the re-
fusal Of what they have to sell.
The man who drops the credit plan,
borrows the needed money at fair
rate Of interest, if he has not capi-
tai of his own and then keeps &C.
curate accounts of the expenditure
of every dollar OF il, improves his
chance OF success.

HIS HAT SpoKE.-A certain
painter who died not long ago was
q broken down wreck in his later
days. Some feeling of pride and
shame chung to him to the last and
although he lived upon the charity
OF his friends he never asked for
money outright. In the crown of
his hat he pasted this request,
please lend me quarter printed
in big staring letters. When max
ing call, he would doff his hat
with much show of dignity, and
there would be the mute appeal
staring in the face his intended vic.
tim. The scheme never failed.
