Electric Light Anticipated.

Two hundred years ago Cyrano
de Bergerac appears to have an
ticipated in his writings one of
the most important inventions of
modern times the electric light.
although, of course, he could not
have known of it, says the Scien-
titic American. Still. however,
the coincidence is interesting.
He says: The old landlord
brought in crystals full of glow
worms to light the parlor, but
seeing those fiery little insects
lose much of their light when they
are not fresh gathered, these, which
were ten days old, had hardly any
at all. My spirit stayed not until
the company should complain of
it, but went up to his chambe
and came Immediately back again
with two bowls of fire SO sparkling
that all wondered he burnt not
his fingers. These incombusti-
Bile tapers, said he, will serve us
better than your wick of worms.
They are rays of sun which have
purged from their heats; other
wise the corrosive quality of their
fire would have dazzled and often
ded your eyes. ! have fixed then
light and inclosed it within these

GENTLY TURNS TO

Last Thursday night Perry
Thongs, of Brush Hollow, had
eighty chikens and three ducks
stolen. He reported his loss to
Under Sheriff A. NJ. Mooney about
noon Friday. The officer at once
took the trail and at 3:30 Saturday
morning located the horse and
wagon and some of the chickens
at 631 Boulder street, Colorado
Springs. Having satisfied himself
that he was after the right man,
Mr.. Mooney entered the house and
arrested the owner. w ii. Fearn,
at half past five
The culprit at first denied every
thing, but when the officer ex-
planned the line of evidence he
had against him, the man took
water" and made full confession.
He took the officer into the bath
room and showed him twenty-four
dressed chickens soaking in the
bathtub. The balance of the lot
was found in coop outside.
Fearn was taken to the Jail at Col
orado Springs until morning,
brought to this place Saturday ev-
ening and Sunday morning he was
taken by his captor to the county
Jail at Canon City.
Fearn confesses having stolen
the turkeys from the Bradley place
and two other lots of chickens at
Four Mile last winter. He is the
man who so harrassed the people
of Canon, and for whose capture a
reward was offered.
This is the first fair chance OFF
Ger Mooney has had at this man,
as the cases last winter were not
reported at once to him, and in
this instance he has certainly done
himself considerable credit by the
dispatch with which he finished
the job.

FINDINGS OF BEEF COURT.

New York, April lS.-A Wash
ington special published in the
New York Herald this morning
says the findings of the court of
inquiry will be in substance as
follows:
I'VE find that there was ample
cause for the allegations of the
major general at the time that these
allegations were made; but that
the testimony before this court has
disproven the reports made to the
major general"
SO far as the intention of the
court has become known it will
find, first, that canned roast beef
was unpalatable as a part of fixed
army rations; second, that canned
roast beef, as it left the various
manufacturers was wholesome and
nutritious; third, that refrigerated
beef was not chemically treated /;
fourth, that refrigerated beef was
the only practical substitute for
fresh beef in Cuba and Porto Rico
General Miles allegations are
sustained to a slight degree in re-
gard to the canned roast beef, but
are discredited in regard to the re-
frigerated beef.

PUNlSHiNG AN EDITOR.
The Curious Method Adopted In a
south American Country.

me curious Method Adopted In a
south American Country.
Curious methods of furnishing indis-
Greet editors are in vogue in some coun-
tries, In South American Sketches
Mr.. Crawford describes the interesting
experience of an editor who had been
unfortunate enough to give otiense to
the ruling powers by the freedom of his
criticisms
The editor was arrested and confined
in a narrow passage between the cages
of two laguars. notorious for their bad
tempers and their intense dislike for hu-
man society.
The intervening space was SO regulat-
ed that neither of the terocious animals
could get its paws quite to the middle
line between the cages. SO that spare
active person. if very careful to follow
the classical advice about the advan-
tages of steering middle course, might
manage to pass without special injury.
Though the achievement would be both
exciting and dangerous,
Our editorial friend happened to be
stout, and therefore was the more easily
reached by the occupants of the cages
As if to add insult to injury. he was
given chair on which to sit and at
the same time was furnished with II
copy of his own paper, the issue which
had brought nm into trouble. in order
,hat he might mediate upon its con
tents.
He tried to sit motionless and bolt
upright. feeling those sleepy. cruel eyes
fixed upon him. At the slightest move
ment or the rustic of the paper uneasy
mutterings arose from the cages. and q
paw would stretch stealthily toward
him. Leaning quickly to the other side
he was sure TO be met by the ugly claws
of the second iaguar. 1t was case If

Every few minutes the jaguars be-
came wildly excited and clawed fiercely

blessing upon the services of the
hour. This was followed by sing
ing, after which a portion of the
scriptures was read by Rev. A. l..
Chase. After commenting briefly
upon the words read by Mr.. Chase,
Mr.. Graham called upon Rev. j.
w. Gum. His remarks were fol-
lowed by short addresses by Rev.
A. l.. Chase and Rev. G. A. Berger
Each of these clergymen spoke
words of congratulation to the
Baptist congregation and bade
them God speed in their work.
7. L. Spencer then gave his
tory of the work of the Baptists in
this county from the time of the
first visit of Baptist missionary
down to the present time. AT the
close of Mr.. Spencer's remarks the
pastor, Rev. Robt d. Graham,
briefly reviewed his work and ex-
periences in connection with his
ministry at this place, and the
building of the new church.
The corner stone was then
placed with the usual ceremony,
the depositing of the treasures,
however, being omitted until today
in order that ii might not be nee
essary for the musons to work on
the Sabbath.
The service was well attended,
and was altogether interesting.
The expressions of good will by SO
many must be encouraging. if not
inspiring, to the pastor, who is
working faithfully for the compile
ton of this house of worship.

TO DEFRAY EXPENSES
Designed to Use Former Flagship
as a Training Ship-Long
Approves

Washington Dec 22.-Secretary Long
has addressed letters to Senator Hale
and Representative Boutelle, who look
after the naval legislation in the SEN
ate and House relative to the plan of
refitting the historical old craft Consti-
tuition as a naval training ship. The
Massachusetts State Society of the
Daughters of 1872 propose to pay for the
refitting through popular subscriptions
and Secretary Long refers to this as
worthy purpose inspired by patriotism.
At the request of Mr.. Hale the secre-
tary had drafted a bill to cover the plan
providing that the secretary of the
navy is hereby authorized to cause the
United States frigate Constitution to be
repaired at the navy yard, Boston, and
restored to serViceable condition in
order that she may be again placed in
commission and used as a training ship
or otherwise. The expenses of such re-
pairs and restoration to be paid from
funds to be raised by popular subscrip
ton under the auspices Of the Massa-
chusetts Society, United States Daugh-
ers of 1872, provided that such restora-
ton shall be made under the supervis-
ION and control of the navy department
and shall not be undertaken until an
amount sufficient to defray expenses
thereof shall have been subscribed and
guaranteed by the said society.

CUBANS GIVE
BANQUET TO BROOKE
Conducted Government During a
Most Trying Period Of
Transition

Havana, Dec. 22.-Sixty-five persons
were present at the farewell banquet
rendered to Gen. Brooke today at the
Paris restaurant. Cen Mario Menocal
presided, and Ernest Lee Conant
acted as POSTMASTER. Senior Llorente,
in proposing the health of Gen. Brooke,
said:
Gen. Brooke was called upon
to govern Cuba under the ex-
tremely difficult conditions of
transition from the old, narrow
system to the new, liberal regime, and
he did so without injuring the rights
of anyone. Cubans will always re-
member him with gratitude and love"
Maj Gen. Wood who spoke briefly in
response 10 words of welcome, said:
THE United States is in Cuba in the
person of representatives who intend
to carry out a great work and to fulfil
strictly the promises of the United
States congress. AS for myself, l can
only do what the president has sent me
to do; but l hope to enjoy the esteerr
and confidence of the Cuban people as
Gen. Brooke has enjoyed them"
Gen. Ludlow said: These American
officials who remain behind may count
comes for them to leave the island, they
are followed by the respect and good
wishes of those whom they in turn leave
behind, as Gen. Brooke is about to do.
The Cuhans have had no better friends
than the American officers"
Gen. Brooke, responding, said in part:
Il shall always remember the long
hours of toll in Cuba; but I shall also
ever recall the kindness shown me by
all Cubans, especially by those who re-
alize that the Americans are their best
friends"
Cen Brooke will leave tomorrow for
Tampa. A squadron of the Seventh

BRENNAN IS HOPEFUL
Thinks He May Be Re-appointed
Chief of Police

Chief Of Police James NJ. Drennan's
friends are working hard for his reap
pointment, and a petition which has
been in circulation for several days is
being generously signed among Wor-
cester lawyers.
That Chief brennan would not be re-
appointed has been considered sure
thing for several weeks, as told in Sun
days Spy, but his friends are of the
opinion that he should be, and claim
that Mayor Rufus B. Dodge, Jr., can
not consistently replace him with an
other man after retaining him in office
for two years.
The men who are at the head of the
petition say that they feel Mayor Dodge
will consider the case when he is pre-
sented with the petition, which will
bear the names of many Of Worcester's
best citizens.
On the other hand, new names crop
up in connection with the position of
chief every day, and the latest to be
heard are those of H. Spencer Haskell
and Col. E. j. Russell, the probation
officer. Col. Russell will not take the
position, as he considers his present
place lucrative enough.
Mr.. Haskell, who is a lawyer with a
large practice, would probably not con-
SlQef the pOSlIlOn. Ills 1rlenQS, now
ever, seem to think that he might be in
duced to take it.
Capt. E. G. Barrett of the City
Guards told The Spy man that he had
heard his name mentioned in connection
with the place, but he never looked for
such offices. He would take the po-
sition If it was offered to him, but fur
Their than that would say nothing in
regard to the. matter. He seems to be
a popular candidate at present, and his
past record as a commander has shown
that he is competent.
People who are in a position to know
say that Chief brennan will not be re-
appointed, and that the name of the
man who is to be the next chief has
not been mentioned in connection with
the position at all yet. Mayor Dodge
is not saying a word. Chief brennan
does not seem to feel over-sensitive
about the rumors to the effect that he
is not to be reappointed, but is at his
desk in the station every day, working
industriously and planning for police
work ahead.
Officers on the force seem to think
that the ball committee have shown
their confidence in Chief Drennan's re-
appointment by making him floor di-
rector at the police ball in Mechanics
hall, Jan. II.

go to the place and quell the disturb
ance. Under the skilled direction of

ployed as soon as they arrived in Au-
burn, and the crowd rounded up by

pected that there will be no further
