ELECTRICITY ON wARsHIPs.
Naval surgeos Reports That Great
Injury In Ca used ny an Improper
Use Of the Lights.

One of the naval surgeons has re-
ported against the present system OF
lighting war ships by electricity. The
protest is contained in report sub
mitted TO Surgeon General Van Reypen
by Passed Assistant Surgeon r. T.
Stone, who has been stationed on
board various naval ships. and who is
now on duty in Washington. That Off
Ger notes that medical literature is be-
ginning to furnish cases of eye affec-
tons and even blindness resulting
from the improper use of electric
lights. The subject is serious one
DR.. Stone says, and one which should
engage the attention of the authorities.
He adds:
IL have myself seen several cases in
the service which / consider directly
due to improper use of electric lights
and which were relieved by using the
light properly placed Dynamo men
have been found to suffer from irrita-
ton and exhaustion of the retina and
have been found on appearing for re-
examination to have suffered serious
falling off in acuteness of vision. This
subject is more important in that it is
so easily remediable. Ground glass
bulbs and proper position of the lights
will do away with all the bad effects.
AS yet laymen do not appreciate the
importance nor understand the prin-
ciples of this subject. In officers
rooms which are furnished with port
able lights it is rare to see the lights
placed properly. The subject of the
location of the lights in the living
spaces of ship being of so much hy-
gienic Importance should be de-
termined by board of medical Off

How to Look Good.

Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If the
liver is inactive, you have bilious look;
if your stomach is disordered you have a
dyspeptic look; if your kidneys are af-
fected, you have pinched look. Secure
good health and you will surely have good
looks. Electric Bitters" is a good al
terative and tonic. Acts directly on
the stomach, liver and kidneys, purifies
the blood, cures pimples, blotches and
boils and gives good complexion. Every
bottle guaranteed. Sold at Longwell
Bros. drug store. 80 cents per bottle. 70

w. Little voted against it. The general APP
preparation ordinance for the fiscal year 1899
was also passed with one amendment. strik-
ing out the item of 81 300 for the salary of
the weightmaster and items aggregating $50
for printing and incidental expenses. This
action legislates George Dudley out of Office

was before. There was lull while another
ordinance was being considered, but the
storm suddenly broke again when Bernauer,
moved to strike it from the files. This car
ried. The ordinance is dead. One or two of
those who voted against the ordinance said
1t was nonsensical to increase the pay of
police and fremen, when no provision for
such increase had been made in the gen.
eral appropriation presented to the Council
by the administration. If the ordinance in
creasing the pay was passed, they said,
there would be deficit in the payroll fund

very surprising to police and firemen when
they heard of it last night, as it has been
opposed to the increase and would defeat

AMERICAN RACING CYCLISTS UNION
TO BE ORGANIZED.
Agreement Signed by Bald, Cooper
pended by Chairman Gideon.

TRENTON, N. j., Sept. 26.-The Amer
lean Racing Cyclists Union was formed as
an opposition racing association to the
League of American Wheelmen at a meet
ing held here, in which a number of the
star racers took part. Eddie c. Bald was
made chairman and f. Ed Spooner secre-
tary. An executive committee, consisting
of Spooner. Bald Batchelder and Arthur
Gardiner was appointed, and another meet
ing will be held at the Bingham House,
Philadelphia, on Wednesday evening next,
when further steps will be taken to perfect
the organization of the union. A proposition
to exclude colored riders was voted down.
An agreement was prepared for circulation
among the cyclists before the races of to-
day at the Interstate fair, and motion was
adopted that those who did not sign the
agreement before the racing began could
only become members Of the union through
formal application. Those who were at the
meeting and signed the agreement were:
Eddie Bald, Tom Cooper, Arthur Gardiner,
Jay Eaton, Orlando Stevens. H. F. TerriE,

ment
officers of the L. A. w. are here. They
said the order of suspension against Bald
and others would be lifted on payment of
SO fine each. Gardiner and others say they
are out of the L. A. w. for good. and that
the American Cyclists Union will become
q permanent organization.
The Interstate Fair Association this after
noon paid the fines of the racing men sus-
pended by the L. A. w. In paying the fines
the fair association was actuated by a de-
sire to prevent the possibility of the l.. A.
w. placing the track on the black list The
racing men were not consulted in the mat
ter, the fair association at the same time
making it clear that it had no part in
whatever steps might be taken by the men
towards starting a rival association to the
L. A. W.

grounds this afternoon, but rain interfered.
