FROM CHICAGO VIA LONDON.
An Electrical Collector of Church
Contributions.
From the london Standard.

From the London Standard
Electricity Is rapidly becoming a sort of
universal provider; and an inventive citt-
zen of Chicago we are told, has hit on a
mode Of converting it to ecclesiastical
uses. The plan is to use it in taking up
a collection" No more bearers of the bag
or plate will be required. Wires are TO
be arranged in the church. and when the
preacher has wound up the feelings of his
congregation to the right pitch of liberal
lily, he tests the effect by touching a but
ton. A box attached to the wire begins
TO travel from pew to pew till il has COM
pleted the circuit in literal, not in an
electrical sense, and then returns to its
safe harbor beneath the minister's eye
The idea is still in It's infancy; by and by.
no doubt an arrangement VIII be made so
that after making the round OF the con
gregation IL should travel up the chancel
and come TO a halt at the right spot just
IN front of the communion rails. Ono
rather important detail, however, rs not
mentioned. Will the collecting box merely
travel-like an old-fashioned human col
lector-from pew to pew along the aisle?
If so, there might be some trouble in get
ting the money into the receptacles. Is
the nearest person to the door to detach
the box and cause IL to be handed along
the pew, In which case arrangements of
the machinery are probable; or Is he 10

OF the pew-whlch would put an end TO
giving In eecret-or must every one press
toward the box, and, with outstretched
arm, drop in his contribution? or will
there be an ingenious arrangement OF
overhead wires, that the box may
travel following the path now often taken
by bag, up one pew and down another.
so as TO pass under the nose of every per-
son In the church? This, no doubt. Gould

But we foresee other difficulties. In plain
English, will the plan pay? We do not re-
fer to the cost of the apparatus. This,
after all, would be only an extension, with
the addition of electricity for motive pow
err of that mechanical process for passing

sity dons still not unknown An some col

amount realized be as large as il Is on
the present system? We have heard II
stated that the substitution of bags for
plates has caused the silver coins to dwin-
die In number and size, while the copper
adds much to the weight, but very little

of buttons is appreciably increased. VIII
not passing the plate become commoner
even than IL now Is, when the reproachful
gaze of the salesman can no longer over
awe the reluctant giver? Possibly this
problem might be solved by some appli-
cation of the Rontgen rays and photo
graphic recording. Unless this can be done
we predict that sad experience will bring
the new device into even more disfavor
than bags, which are by no means uni
versally popular But the idea is signlh-
cant of the tendency of the times-laoor-
saving apparatus of every kind Is In high
favor-and It Is pretty clear that electric
ity might sim be applied with advantage
to many purposes in daily life.
1t might be employed from early morn
ing to night. and perhaps it could begin
the day by fetching the family sluggard
out of bed In time for breakfast. We
might go about with portable electrical
reminders-set like alarms-to give us d

to keep, or something to do which we are
apt TO shirk or at an hour-as after lunch

invaluable such a method would be IN its
application TO education. By a machine
somet thing like that used for "electrosecn-
ton" pupils and teachers might be
brought en- rapport in a very effective
style. Suppose the class are idling, oil
two boys talking, the master touches q

KNOCKED OUT IN is ROUNDS.
LOuisviIIe's Athletic Club Pulls on
Its First Fight,

Louisville, Ky, April S.-The Southern
Athletic Club pulled off its first fight to-
night at Music Hall. The feature of the
evening was a 2O-round bout between Ed
Ruckor of this city, and Eugene Bezenah,
one of Cincinnati's crack light-weights.
The Cincinnati man was declared the vic
tor in the eighteenth round.
Bezenah forced the lighting clear through
and only in one or two rounds did Rucker
show to advantage. In the eighteenth
round, which was the liveliest of the bout,
during a rapid exchange at mitigating Be
zenah landed terrific right hand hook on
Fuckers jaw, bringing him 10 his knees.
AS the local man rose to his feet, BeZe-
nah smashed him with his left on the
point of the jaw, knocking him against the
ropes. Rucker stood against the ropes in
q dazed condition with his hands hanging
by his sides and Bezenah pounded him with
right and left swings on the jaw without,
however, bringing his man to the floor
A Knockout being only a question of a
moment, the referee stepped between the
principals and gave the decision to Baze-
nah.
Rucker suddenly came TO his senses and
entered an emphatic kick against the ref
eree's ruling. but the latter waved him
away from the ring.

ton that American life is extremely I'M

SPECIAL CAR TO A BULL FIGHT.
MIR. Cardeza's Unique Trip From New

Mr.. Cardeza's Unique Trip From New
York to Mexico.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
A trip from New York to Mexico city at
a cost of 5000, with $40 bills on the side
for the porters. just to see one Mexican
bull fight.
A message from Assistant General Pas
senger Agent Hawley OF the Southern Pa
cifc. flashed into the general Offices OF the
Morgan Lane last Wednesday. 1t said
that on such and such a train a special
car would arrive In New Orleans, bearing
Mr.. Cardeza, bound for Mexico city. 1t
was naturally supposed that party was
in the car with Mr.. Cardeza, whoever he
might prove to be.
on the morning set for the arrival the
car failed to put In an appearance. A tel
egram a few hours later conveyed the in
formation that hot box had delayed the
car twelve hours. Harry Abbott was on

Then a porter was finally aroused He
was asked to find the temporary owner of
the car. That distinguished individual
was located In the reading room. playing
checkers with one lone, solitary friend.
Mr.. Cardeza is a fne-looking young man,
but upon the first meeting he seemed agi-
tated because he had been delayed twelve
hours IN the schedule from New York.
when will we get to Mexico?" he
duce himself.
III you make good connections from
here on you will land In the capital of
Mexico on Sunday morning about 10
o'clock" replied Mr. Abbott.
That settled the curiosity of the New
Yorker.
IF we make II by that hour we are all
right" continued he I'VE are going there
to see a Sunday bull fight, and would not
miss ii for the world"
The car In which Mr. Cardeza, who, by
the way, did not appear to be over 20
years old, and his young friend, who did
not look day older, made this trip across
the continent must have cost him In the
neighborhood OF $1,000.
IT required eighteen first-lass tickets TO
bring it from New York to New Orleans,
and fifteen first-class tickets to carry IL
from here on west to the destination The
railroad fare for the two would be exactly
$2,0l6.75, and the charge by the parior-
car company could not be less than about
SIS per day.

CUBA's BONDS.
Only S122,O0O of the $1O,OOO,OOO Au-
thOrized Disposed of as Yet.


Washington April S-Some very inter-
esting facts were developed before the
foreign affairs committee of the House
to-day. The deputy treasurer of the Gu
ban republic, B. r. Guerra, appeared
with his books and they were inspected
by the committee. He explained that of
the $10O0OO00 bonds authorized only $122 900
had been actually disposed Of Some of
these were in payment of provisions sent
to Cuba. For some of the bonds par was
obtained. These were taken mainly by
the friends of Cuba. The lowest price at
which any were sod was % cents on the
dollar, batch of $4,000 were sold for
$1,000 in a pressing emergency.
One million of the bonds, he said, were
locked up in the safe of Belmont & Co.
of New York, to be sold when the price
fixed, 45c on the dollar had been obtained
Three millions of the remainder had been
signed, but were locked up in the treasur-
er's vaults.
The deputy treasurer was asked If he
knew the story of the publication of the
De Lone letter, and without names he
told the first authentic story of how IL
was obtained. He explained that it was
distracted by a clerk in the postofice at
Havana, who was in sympathy with the
Cuban cause and sent back to- New York.
There its Importance was at once realized
and it was given out for publication, the
action being justified because it showed
'conclusively what the Cubans had always
contended, that Spain was double-dealing
