A SHOREDITCH EXPERIMENT.

The Interesting Results of the First Year.
 In letter from London a year ago last summer 1 described novel enter prise which had been entered upon by the Shoresditch parish of London to supply electricity for lighting the streets, dwellings and public buildings by using the street sweepings for fuel. Up to that date the parish had paid about 1000 per year for carting the refuse to a barge on the river Thames and towing it to a dumping place in the sea and about $20,000 annually for gas to light the streets and parish buildings. about $60,000, or $10,000 more than these annual charges, which was met by tax ing the people, was invested in an elec- tric plant, which has since been run twenty-four hours for six days in the week, and twelve hours on Sunday, furnishing electrical power for small manufactories during the day and for Illuminating purposes at night. The street sweepings have furnished almost all the fuel necessary. The cost of coal in addition was only $432. The total ex- penditures for the first year were $19, 0l0 for wages, stores, supplies, insur- ance, repairs and other purposes. The interest, sinking fund, rents, and the ordinary allowance for the depreciation of the property was $10205, making a total of $29,275. The gross receipts for the sale of light and power, including credit equal to the average charge for street lighting by gas, were $45,205 thus leaving a net profit of S15,930 for the benefit of the parish treasury, which will be used in enlarging the plant
 Arrangements are now being made to use the escaping steam to heat the water of a public bath, instead of al- lowing it to go to waste.
 Furnaces have been added for the burning the garbage collected from the dwellings which could not be used for fuel and this extra expense, which was, however, comparatively trihing was more than offset by saving the cost of hauling the garbage to the barges.
 The experiment has been so success full that other London parishes are planning to adopt the some method, and it is confidently predicted that in few years the entire city will be lighted

 He offered her ten dollars first, and when she said, "No sell u1n," raised the price by fives to forty dollars, and then the woman told the other Indians that white men give forty dollars for snowshoes and the price has been that ever since.
 We had previously bought two pair of snowshoes for twenty-five dollars, and the Indians came around and tried to collect the difference. When we re- fused to pay and turned them out they seemed to think they had been cheated. Forest and Stream.

THE MILES-EAGAN FEUD

secrets of the government, behind the bars where they belong" General Eagan vigorously attacked the inspec- tor generals department in connection with the investigation.
 General Eagan's testimony, in full, at this point, was as follows: General Miles was asked by your committee how tinnedfresh beef became a part of the army ration. His answer is: You had better ask the secretary of war or the commissary general. I think they can tell you I know it was sent to the army as food, and the pretense is that it was sent as an experiment. General Miles in saying that this food was sent to the army as a pretense for experi- ment' says that which implies corrup- ton, which ninety-nine out of every one hundred people will understand to mean corruption, because it was "a pre- tense of experiment. he says, not even giving credit to me for furnishing it as an experiment, but that I furnished it under the 'pretense or an experiment. This is a serious charge and should not be made by any man lightly nor with out ample evidence to support it. Talk lIlS lIle SldlGIleIll III lUe sense that was probably intended, the sense that will be accepted by the country at large, the sense that already the press almost wholly of the United States has accept ed it, indeed, some of that press be- cause of it called for my dismissal from the army and my court-Inartial, I an- sWer that it was not furnished under the pretense of experiment, nor even as an experiment, and if and when General Miles charges that it was furnished as a pretense of experiment. he lies in his throat, he lies in his heart, he lies in every hair of his head and every pore of his body; he lies, wilfully, deliberate ly, intentionally and maliciously. If his statement is true that this was furnish ed under pretense of an experiment. then I should be drummed out of the army and incarcerated in states prison. If his statement is false, as I assert it to be, then he should be drummed out of the service and incarcerated in prison with other libellers. His statement is scandalous libel rehscting upon the hon. or of every officer in the department, who has contracted for or purchased this meat, and especially and particu- larly on the commissary general--my- self.
 'In denouncing General Miles as a liar when he makes this statement, I wish to make it as emphatic and as coarse as the statement itself. I wish to force the lie back into his throat the
