Sunday between the Five Fathoms
Bank and Fenwick Island shoal light
shin. returned to Philadelphia yesier-

with the record made by the vessel

the circumstances, the record of the

men were first affected with it; then
the boys began making their martial
displays, and now the girls are in th-
front ranks OF the Home Guard. On a
vacant lot at Park Place and Van
Buren, streets there is a fort. It was
built by girls. and is officered and de-
tended by girls, who have named it
Fort Sampson.
Yesterday the Wayfarer interviewed
the general in command.
"How high is your enibankment?"
he inquired.
"I shant tell you" she responded.
'Then I'll jut put it at fifteen feet
he said.
'Then you won't be right, for it's
only six feet high" she remon-
etrated.
''And how long is it?"
'That's telling" said the general.
Suppose I say $50 feet" suggested
the WdylditI.
Goodness, gracious! gon't do that
for it's only fifteen feet long," she ex
claimed.

A policeman walked in for similar

him.

pRoTHoNorARY ADAMS HAM

PROTHONOTAT1Y ADAMS HAM
The Court House at Georgetown is
an old building, and not at all modern
in its appointments, but il has been the
storm-centre Of Sussex county politics
for many, many years, and is redolent
with the memories OF men who have
helped to make the history of our
state what II is to-day. OF all the
funny things which have taken place
within its wall the Following, on Pro-
thonotary Adams, is, the Wayfarer
thinks, one of the funniest:
The Court House officials are all the
time playing jokes on each other, and,
on Friday night, Joseph Hearn, the
recorder OF deeds, procured from John
Truitt, the Eagle Hotel proprietor, an
imitation ham, which the latter had re-
ceived with a number of genuine h0ms
from the city. Alr. Hearn ripped the
cover off the imitation ham and placed
brick in It to make dt heavy, and,
going in Prothonotary Jake" Adams
office, asked If he could leave a ham
there until he should return later.
Judge Boyce in the meantime was lot
into the joke and. during Hearn's alb
sence, asked Adams whose ham it was,
and being told, said to Adams:
"Now, Jake, if you'll take that
ham home and eat it III pay for t."
Adams, being always ready for a
joke, jumped at the idea. ie hailed a
boy and sent it 10 his house. His wife
not being at home, it was left at a
neighbor's. The neighbor, before re-
firing, took the ham to Mr.. Adams, and
the latter, to save his wife the trouble
opened it, when he found that he was
the victim instead Of Hearn. Though
the hour was late Adams hurriedly
went to Judge Boyce's house and, call
ing him up, exclaimed excitedly:
"Judge, you know that ham? Well
it wasn't ham at an Say, judge, dom
say anything about it; don't want tn
folks over about laurel to get hold o
it,"
The recorder is enjoying the joke i'm
mensely, but Prothonotary Adams vii

The San Francisco call., 1898-04-17

was gained for the people in the matter of electric hghts The opposing forces consisted of the Mutual Electric Light Company. with Supervisors Clinton Dodge and Lackmann, on one side, and the San Francisco Gas and Electric Com pany, with Supervisors Haskins, Delany Sheehan. Morton, Britt, Smith and Riv- CTS, on the other.
 The principal matter before them was the proposition of the Mutual Electric Light Company to furnish the city cleo tric lights at saving of S40.000 per an mum on the present cost, and to save the people of the city S100,000 year. provided they were allowed to erect oles for the stringing of their wires outside the fire limits. In this connection there was also considered the plan of the Merchants Association for a new system of lighting the streets by districts and for the sub stitution of electric lights for gas lamps.
 The great issue was the erection of ad- ditional poles by the Mutual" Electric Light Company Had this privileqe been granted that company would have been placed. in a position to compete with the old company everywhere within the city limits, to the great benefit of every con- sumer of light, and particularly those who reside outside of the fire limits: But every move in the struggle showed mat the Mutual Company and the people were doomed to defeat. But the defeat appears to be only partial.
 While the privilege of erecting addi- tional poles was not granted, 1t was de- cded to advertise for bids for lighting the city by districts. and this will give the competing company an opportunity to bid for the lighting within the fire limits.
 It is believed that this Is not the end of the battle, so far as the Mutual Com pany is concerned. It is understood that they will ask for writ of mandamus compelling the board to grant them the privilege of erecting poles wherever they

 Supervisor Clinton was called to the chair. Besides him there were present Supervisors Haskns. Delany, Sheehan, Dodge, Lackmann, Morton, Britt, smith and Rivers.
 P B. Cornwall, president of the Mutual sl Electric Light Company, was granted the privilege of the floor. After referring to the proposition his company had made to the city, he declared that all they asked to be able to make good tnelr promise was the privilege of erecting electric light poles for stringing wires outside the fire limits.
 In reply to the question as to how many poles his company desired to put up, he said they wanted to erect as many. as would be needed to fill all applicantions for lights that might be made to the company. He further declared that the San Francisco Gas and Electric Company was paying licenses on a few more than 5000 poles, but that a careful count showed they had nearer 10000 poles up in this city. It was not his company alone which was asking the privilege from the board of erecting poles in the outside districts, he remarked. but every man, woman and child who lived in those districts and also those who paid taxes. These people ask to be furnished light at the same rate paid by those who live within the fire limits. "One-third of the month there is neither gas nor electric light in these sections" he said. "and I believe that 100 electric lights on the streets would do more good In the way of protection to as many policemen. You have no right to deny them light at the same rate that other people enjoy"
 Supervisor Smith interrupted to say that the present conditions were not the fault of this board and that with the assist ance of the Merchants Association it ex- pected to provide plenty of light during the coming year.

I now sleep well, my Rheumatism has entirely left me and my Varicocele is cured. Before wearing your Belt l would some times go for three or four days and nights without sleeping wink and become completely exhausted. After wearing your Belt two months I am, thanks to God and your won derful appliance, an entirely new man. I feel twenty years younger and would not part with your Belt for a lot Of money. I loaned my Belt to several friends and they all were benefited by the trial. will

DIR. A. T. SANDEN-Dear Sir: I have been using your Belt as you recommended and following your advice, and it is with great pleas ure l report that the Belt has stopped the pains and entirely cured me of Rheumatism, which I flo not hesitate to make known. It has done all you claimed for it, curing me after everything else failed. l had been doctoring with several doctors and spent hundreds of dollars, trying everything I thought would give me relief, but without success, till l began wear ing the Belt you recommended. At the time I purchased the Belt I was confined to my bed with pains and my appetite was so poor that I could not eat anything without be- ing distressed. All those symp- toms have disappeared and I am a well man-thanks to your Belt. I will always be pleased to recom- mend the Belt to any person in need of one. Yours very respectfully,
