Electric Lights.

By vote of the people the city is to
have electric lights, the council being
authorized by popular majority of
about 70, to contract therefor. We
hope 1T may authorize lights through
out the length and breadth of the
city, so that no nook or corner may be-
in darkness. We had hoped to see
water mains put in to extend that
system SO as to afford the public the
protection it is entitled to and pays
for in its taxes annually. Aud now
that the electric lighting system has
been endorsed by the people we hope
that no narrow policy will prevent
extending its benefits TO all alike, as
all alike must bear the burden Of it's
public cost.

Inc president, after h1R return from
church, had conference with Sec
retaries Alger and Long and Capt.
Crowineshield, chief of the bureau of
navigation, and member of the naval
board. 1t was stated after the meet
ing that plans had been discussed for
an aggressive movement, in which both
army and navy will take part against
Puerto Rico Before going to the
white house Secretary Alger had been
in conference with Gen. Brooke for
two hours. They had before them a
large number of maps of Puerto Rico
and the plans OF campaign were dis
cussed from every point of view. It
lis expected that Gen. Miles will go di-
rect from Santiago to Puerto Rico and
that Gen. Stone and Col. Michler, of his
staff, will leave from New York in a
day or two on the Resolute, to join the
general at Santiago. Secretary Long
would not discuss the naval pro-
gramme except to say that active
preparations are on foot for the next
forward movement.

During the day the secretary of war
Endorsed the plan of Col. Hecker for
the transportation of the Spanish forces
at Santiago back to Spain, approving
circular Col. Hecker had prepared
calling for bids for transporting the
spaniards home. 1t provides for an ag-
gregate Of 1000 Spanish officers with
frst-class cabin accommodations, and
24,o0O soldiers with third-class steer
age passage. The circular says that
the Spanish forces will be delivered on
board at Santiago for transportation
to Gadiz, Spain, or such other port as
may be designated. 1t is provided that
the accommodations are to be up to the
standard required by the United States
army regulations as to officers and
men, In regard to galleys, ventilation,
etc. The subsistence furnished is to
be equal to the prescribed United
States army ration, which is set forth
In detail as guide to bidders as to
what they must furnish.
The Fever situation.
The only disquieting information re-
ceived during the day was as to the yell
10Y fever conditions Mt the front, and
this dispatch was modified in an en-
couraging way by Gen. shafter,s later
news. It was dispatch from Col.
Greenleaf, chief surgeon with the army
in Cuba, saying that 10 new cases had
appeared. While this was regarded
with some apprehension by laymen, the
surgeon generals department cpnsid-
cred the showing entirely satisfactory.
Col. Alden, acting surgeon general dur
ing the absence Of Gen. Sternberg, said
report of only 16 cases was an ex-
eeptipnally good showing, as the num-
Der must be taken relatively to the large
number Of men at the front. With the
surrender accomplished, there will be
better opportunity to get the men on
high ground and keep them away from
infection.

and show many dead branches. One

lights is nearly dead Kit is a maple}.
A tall elm about thirty feet away is
fast losing the leaves from the long
pendant brauches--and a butter-nut in
front of my window is fast going the
same way. To test this point | have
taken walks of about twenty miles in
extent through the city's streets, with
the same result visible everywhere,

is hurtful to most trees. They can't
sleep with those big, glazing electric

chemical action from these lights.
The trees cannot live on almost eter-

life of any kind, want rest. 1t is only
near these lights the decay
is so marked. Have any of your
correspondents noticed this? l would
like to know. Naples, butternuts and

and horse chestnuts do not seem to be
effected, nor the liacs--the cotton
wood does not seem to feel it at all.

excluding New York. The lights are

Now note this The trees all begin to
lose their leaves on top or on the side
facing the lights, and gradually keep
losing them downward. Now for a di

lastly, for insomnia. We want dark

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-

imperfect hearing, and when il is entire

Two Knife Wounds while Ejecting
His Cook from His Residence.
Hon. seaborn Wright was badly cut
this morning about 6 80 o'clock by his
cook, negress by the name Of Can
tress.
For several weeks the woman has
been very impudent to members Of Mr.
Wright's family.
This morning, because of insulting
language used to white servant, Mr..
Wright, feeling outraged, took the cook
by the arm and proceeded to show her
the door.
The woman had evidently prepared
herself for just such an occasion, for,
like flash, she whipped keen bladed
knife from her clothing and with the
fury of an enraged tigress proceeded to
cut and slash her employer.
In the confusion which followed the
bloodthirsty cook made good her escape,
and at noon today had not been captur-
ed.
Mr. Wright lives in the suburbs of the
city, He was assisted to his bed aud
DR.. Henry Battey summoned by tele-
phone.
Dr. Battey responed promptly. He
found Nlr. Wright suffering FROM two
ugly wounds, one just nader the heart
where the keen blade had penetrated the
hollow; the other was a wound three
inches deep in the left side.
While these wounds are serious the
physician thinks they are not necessa-
rly fatal.
Mr. Wright is one of the most sue
cessful lawyers at the Rome bar and a
leading politician of the state, having
run, two years ago, as the gubernatorial
nominee of the anti-democrats
Fortunately for Mr.. Wright the wo-
man failed to make her crime murder,
though there is but little doubt that she
intended to kill Rome Hustler.

DIR. KOCH ON MALARIA.
He Attributes Most Malaria TO Mosquito
and Quinine Poisoning,

He Attributes Most Malaria TO Mosquito
and Quinine Poisoning.
For more than a year Professor
Koch has been trying to pluck out the
heart of the mystery of malaria. And
as he wished to work IN the best posi-
bic environment he went to Africa, to
the marshes and swamps of the west
coast, where malaria, which we know
best as a tired feeling developing into
low fever, RACES like a plague, deal
ing swift and sure death to all stran-
who are not hardy or most careful.
The eminent bacteriologist is SO far
advanced that he feels able to lay down
two principles of great interest:
i. Where there are no mosquitoes
there Is no malaria. Where there are
mosquitoes there is malaria,
2. Quinine, the supposed sovereign
remedy, must be taken in just the
right quantities at just the right Pc
riod Of the disease, or it sets up a fever
more dangerous than malaria itself.
If Professor Koch be right, malaria,
disease from "bad air" is.not malaria
at all, but poison manufactured and
secreted by the mosquito. And much
that we call malaria is quinine poison
ing SET up by improper use of that pop
ular drug in the effort to cure mosque
poisoning or a cold, or some other of
the thousand and one ills for which
quinine is supposed to be the sure REM
edy.
Professor Koch is not infallible.
But he is good authority, a painstak-
ling and intelligent studeat. Therefore,
what be says should receive careful at
tention from the persons who she'd
sheir blood by the bucketfuI to sustain
the breed Of mosquitoes, and who al
ways carry quinine in the their peck
cts for diligent consumption whenever
they feel little queer"
