AUTOMATIC GAS LIGHTING.


A hearing on the petition asking for
the abolishing of the automatic lighting
apparatus on the street gas lights was
given last evening by the committee on
lamps of the city council, but the only
person present when the hearing COM
menced, except the reporters, was Ste
phen j. Casey, who represented the
petitioners. but later in the evening
others arrived.
Mr.. Casey said that he had made a
personal investigation that had con-
vinced him of the absolute worthless
ness OF the system. He had consulted
the police captains, and Capt. Stevens
said the lights were a nuisance. Capt.
Magill had trouble with the few i'm his
district. and Capt Costine said the
same Mr.. Casey pointed out that the
system was in use in no other large
city, and claimed this was enough to
condemn IL.
Henry X. Scheuler said that in the
vicinity of his home, on Linwood ave-
nue., almost every night some Of the
lights fail to burn or light only late at
night. and frequently some fail to go
out I'm the morning.
In answer to "a question from Mr..
Casey. Superintendent OF Lights Greene
said that the trouble was caused by
the clocks. which were sometimes tam
pered with. The burning of the lights
in the morning was because the clocks
are set To run a certain time and run
that time from the time Of lighting,
and also TO mistakes sometimes made.
when clocks are set for the morning
instead of night. He had usually about
10 complaints a day.
w. A. III. Grant and Bernard O'Rielly
both spoke of number OF lights that
were found out night after night, and
II. Jefferson Riley and John j. Burbage
spoke i'm the same strain. After hear
ing all who wished to speak. the com
mittee adjourned the hearing. the mem
bers starting out on a tour OF investlga-
tion on their way home The working
of the apparatus will be thoroughly in
vestigated.

MR.. WHITE WON OUT.
Nominated For Mayor Of Pawtuckei
by the Republicans.
Eighty Ballots Taken In Caucus Before Final
Decision Was Reached.

Last night the Republicans of Paw
tucket who have been elected as dele
gates to the city convention met in eau
Gus for a second time, and nominated
as the candidate for mayor j. Ellis
White. alderman from Ward 4, and for
the school committee Rev. Asaph >.
Wicks, Frederick G.. Daniels and Mrs.
Martha Jenckbes were nominated The
fight for mayor was one of the most
bitter in the annals Of the party here.
Tuesday night the delegates were In
caucus for five hours, and after 81 bal
lots had been taken they failed 10 agree
on any man. At the caucus last night
IL more ballots were taken, and on the
SOth ballot White secured the delegates
from Ward 2 and had a majority OF the
80 delegates in the convention.
The nomination was made unanimous
In the caucus, and i'm the convention,
which was held at $50 o'clock, there
was nothing To do but ratify the selec-
ton. The fight was made close for the
reason that Mayor Adams had the dele
gates of one ward. Alderman Thayer
from two. and there could not be any
choice until one of the three gave way
to the other. The nominee was called
before the convention, and he made a
short speech, promising If elected TO do
all in his power TO give wise and busi-
ness-like administration.
DR.. William Won Gottschalk of Cen
trail Falls has sent a letter to the DEM
ocratic committee OF that city, in which
he declines the nomination for mayor,
and later he stated that the main cause
for his action was due to business rea-
sons. chief of which are the intimations
from his patients that they want him
as their physician and not as the mayor
of the city.

Castor Bean Crop.

1t has been suggested that the
castor bean would prove a pro6ta-
bic and pleasant crop for the
farmer to raise in this climate.
Some two or three years ago, Jack
Connolly received less than quart
of castor beans from a friend in the
west and not being engaged in
farming gave the seed to man
named Adams, who resides on the
Mount Ida road, about Is miles
south of this city and from this
meager beginning Mr.. Adams mar
keted 1925 worth of seed this year
and expects to have $500 worth
next year.
He reports the crop OF easy Guilt

most interesting crops grown on

Arbor Day Proclamati N.

ST TIE Fl no, EXECUTIVE OFFICE.
The wisdom of our Legislature in des-
ignatlng day to be celebrated in Ida
ho as Arbor Day has never been ques-
toned. With us it is not only an evi
dence of beautiful, enobling sentiment,
but of great practibility and usefulness.
Lavish as Nature has been in her gifts
to our beloved commonwealth, it ap
pears that in the important particular
OF sylvan resources we have been de-
MED, and that man must plant, foster
and nourish. Especially is this true
in the sections Of our state that are
most populous.
In accordance with this beautiful
custom, and in pursuance with statute,
l, Frank Steunenberg, Governor Of the
state of Idaho, do hereby designate
Friday, the sixth day OF May, A. =,
1893, as Arbor Day in the State OF IDA
no, to be observed by our citizens in
the planting of trees for the adorn-
ment of our homes and highways.
Q 1t is we'll in this connection to cite
certain provisions of the law bearing
upon this subject:
Sec. 2. 1t shall be the duty of tie
authorities of every public school in
this State to assemble the scholars in
their charge on that day in the school
building, or elsewhere, as they may
deem proper for and conduct, un-
der the general supervision of the
county superintendents of public in
struction, such exercise as shall tend
to encourage the planting, protection
and preservation of trees and shrubs,
and an acquaintance with best methods
TO he adopted to accomplish such
results"

PROBABLY 1900 people are between
the summit and lower Sheep Camp
perhaps 200 OF them women, hurryire
over to the lakes before the snow
breaks up. The snow is soft hardly
freezing any at night.
The Canadian duties are paid on tor
of the Pass. Two whom 1 know paic
their duties, had $500 of provisions
They were asked if they had more
clothing than they needed to wear
They said they had not and duties
amounting to 25 per cent of their Port
land gr ocefies were collected, amount
ing to S29.45 each.
Aside from the snowslide, which
would have like result on War Eagle
or Florida mountains under similar cir
cumstances, every thing has been much
exaggerated about the sickness and the
difficulty of approach to the Pass. Only
eleven are sick in the hospital here now
and know of none in tents.
A life line is stretched from the top of
the Pass down three-fourths of a mile
for the packers to hold on to SO they
can ascend the steepest pitch. AS
came in sight of them, two miles down
the canyon, between the stone house
and the scales was reminded of chinch
bugs climbing corn stalks down in
Kansas.
Another point or two, then will

fit for sale swarm gathers around and
buys up everything readily, for supplies
are in demand on account of the HOO

The snow trail will soon break up and
horses, dogs, oxen, goods, etc., can be
bought much cheaper now than week
ago.
Two notices were jnst posted upon

Misso , the Floodtide.

When Mr.. Mckinley had fairly
warmed the presidential chair, had he
issued a proclamation, announcing
that condition of war existed in Cuba,
recognizing the belligerent rights or
the insurgents, instead of expending
millions OF the public money policing
the Atlantic to prevent the friends of
the insurgents from reaching them
with reinforcements, arms and sup
plies, it would have been Cuba Libra
to-day, with prospect OF stable gov
crnment.
When the report Of the Naval Com
mission, which investigated the des-
truction of the Maine was made, Presi
dent McKinley's second opportunity
was to send in that report, Withholding
no part of it, and to make that the
basis for action. According to Shake
spear TT ere is tide in the affairs of
men, which taken at its food, leads on
to fortune" President Mckinley has
missed that foodtide once more than
is usually allotted to man. Most men
in the world do the right thing at the
wrong time; others do the wrong thing
at the right time. Very few do the
right thing at the right time, and those
few are the great and successful men
OF the world. President McKinley's
name will not be recorded in history
as one Of the worlds great men.

Captain heLamar's success as mine
operator is proving to be not one bit
more notable than his failure in matri-
monial speculation. The New York
beauty whom his dollars won was a
a miserable failure in bringing him Ell
ther social position or happiness, and
now the French courts have been
called npon to sever the matrimonial
ties. This is not scandal in the New

was not in their set-only professed to
be. 1t is another illustration of what
