The 81 100 horse power used curing ''o
year cost 81. rs. or. about 10 cents per

oee working time Of nine and one-haif
hours. 10000 horse power could easily De
developed during the year. IL there were
any use therefor. the cost per horse
mower could be reduced one-half.
A comparison OF cost Of operation by
electricity and other power Is made.
Formerly $3.50 cwts. Of grain were thrash
ed by steam, requiring 400 hours, or forty
five days. and $40 cwts. by Goepel ma
chine requiring eight horses and oVO

pied for pumping and straw cutting was
about the same. For saving logs INTO
boards and kindling wood, S2B n year was
Maid on an average. The total cost by
the old methods was sl.7l3.60. This shows
n difference OF s2s5.60 q year in favor OF
the electric plant. Another advantage IS

piov hands at once IN thrashing In case
bad weather or some other reason pre-
vents them from working in the fields.
The disadvantages are that in a dry
summer the water may run low anu lhus
occasion interruptions IN the running Oh

season few lights are needed and the
large motor IS not used. this disadvantage
is really trihing Sufficient water can

be caused by the clogging OF ice, which,

be remedied by a few hours work.
The currents used are all OF low tension

sion currents require more caution, but

OBJECTED TO AN ACTRESS.
CharIeston's 400" Were Jealous of
Miss Charlotte Crane.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Dec. H.-At the
Christmas cotillon, given by the cadets of
the South Carolina Military Academy, many
women from the -four hundred" set were
present, and a peculiar dispute arose.
Hoyt's "A Stranger in New York was
played at the Academy of Music. with Miss
Charlotte Crane, who is Miss Bose, of
Springfield, Ill., as the leading lady. The
government training ship Salmon Z. Chase
IS wintenng here and the officers and ca
diets were invited to the ball. Cadet Peter
son had an engagement to take Miss Crane
TO the bail, and after the performance he
called for her and they went to the ball.
When they entered the ballroom all the men
sought introouctions. This was noted, and
several of the society young women called
the chaperons and demanded that Miss
Crane be sent away. Their only reason was
because she was an actress. The chaperons,
according to the story told by those present,
demanded that Captain Hamlet. OF the
Chase, order Cadet Peterson 10 take Miss
Crane from the ball.. The order was given
and the cadet was forced to reveal the stu
alton TO the actress and request her TO
leave with him. She was mortified at the
treatment, and left hurriedly.

WASHINGTON Dec. 27.--The most pro-
found distress prevails among many thou
sands OF people in Cuba Starvation not
only impends but is an actual fact. The
President has been informed of the facts
from sources whose credibility cannot be
doubted. He has gone to the length of his
constitutional power in calling the state of
affairs to the attention of the American
people The State Department has used all
of its authority to mitigate the conditions
there, and the letter to the public sent out
by Sc, rotary Sherman the day before Christ
mas pointed out the way to further alleviate
the miserable condition of the reconcentra-
dos To-day the sum of 5000 was received
by Assistant Secretary Day from certain
charitably disposed persons, whose names
are not disclosed, and this will be re-
mitted by telegraph early tomorrow to
Consul General Lee for disbursement among
the more pressing cases. 1t is hoped by
the Department Of State that the American
people will come to the relief, and that
promptly, by subscriptions of money cloth
ing and supplies of various kinds. The news
papers are expected to lend a generous aid
in carrying forward this movement The
machinery for distribution has been provided
by the State Department, and Consul Cen
eral Lee has undertaken, with the aid of the
American consular officers in Cuba, to give
personal attention to the alienation of dis
tress by the distribution of the gifts of the
American people. One line of steamers ply
ing between New York and Havana-the
Ward line-it is said, has undertaken to
forward any contributions OF goods to Gen
eral Lee at Havana. and it is believed that
the American railroads will do their part by
carrying the goods to the seahoard. The
Spanish authorities have consented TO remit
all duties on reef supplies forwarded.
The state Department directs that they be
sent direct to Consul General Lee, either
money, by draft Oh check, or goods.
Consul General LC> Lo-nlgnI CaDled the
State Department Just What is wanting at
this Junctcre. and his list is as follows: Sum-
mer clothing, Seco4.d-hanGed or otherwise,
principally tor wOrIel and children; medi-

ton of quinine; hard bread, cornmeal ba-
con, rice, lard. potatoes, beans, peas, salt

especially condensed milk for the starving
children. Money will also be useful to
cure nurses, medicines and for many other
necessary purposes.
