Philadelphia, April 25.-Phiiadelphia de-
feated Boston this afternoon by sequen-

Wedding-RInp rt,r.-

Many reasons have been assigned for
the placing OF the wedding-ring on the
fourth finger of the left hand. An old
Latin author says: AT first It was
usual to wear 1t on either hand. but
when precious stones were added. the
custom of wearing them on the right
hand was transferred unto the left,
for the hand being less employed they
were therefore best preserved" Sir
Thomas Brown gives the more senti-
mental reason, observing that the
larger portion of the heart is on the
left side. and the left hand is nearest
the heart. AN opinion there is" he
says. which magnifies the fourth fin
ger of the left hand. presumlng that
a particular vessel or artery is con-
veyed thereunto to the heart, and
therefore that. especially hath the
honor to bear our rings"

TOBACCO AND REVENUE TAX.
How Does the Jobbcr Make Up the Ex-
ira Tax on the Weed.

The retails tobacconist who sells you
your package of smoking can't tell you
just how the jobber or manufacturer
makes up for the extra revenue Uncle
Sam has placed on each package for
war expenses. No apparent change is
noticeable in the size of the bags or
boxes of the standard articles. In the
best-known goods retailers and job
bers were generally sufficiently we'll
supplied with stocks. stamped before
the war tax became effective, to carry
them along for months. Now the war
taxed products are coming in. The
packages all seem to be of the same
size and shape and as. s.familiar in ap-
pearance as OF yore. But If you ex-
anime closely you will find that the
tobacco is packed in more loosely and
consequently there is not so much of
1t as you got for the same price six
months ago. or course the manufac-
turers had to make up the extra reve-
nue.. and that's the way they do 1t,
recognizing that 1t would be unwise
to change the size. shape or general
appearance of goods that hold a
standard position in the market.

one obstacle to the more rapid adop-
ton OF electric power, especially in
'he case Of small users everywhere. is
undoubtedly the want OF capitnl TO
purchase the necessary motor: but
where the power to purchase exists the
buyer often has little or no experience
with electrical matters to guide him In
MS purchase. and II his means are linn
ited he will naturally be tempted to
venture on cheap line with probably
unsatisfactory results A solution OF
'nese dtmeulties. which has been ap-
phed with excellent results at Brad
iord, England. is the purchase of good.
reliable motors. and offering them for
hire by the owners Of the electricity
supply undertakings, who. in this in
stance, are the municipality itself. Ac-
eording to figures prepared by Alfred
II. Gibbings, the city electrical engin-
eer OF Bradford, they have found there
that a rental charge of 10 per cent
upon the initial cost OF each motor was
amply sufficient to yield acceptable re-
turns, tbs charge being made up OF 3
per cent for interest. 3 per cent for
sinking fund. and per cent for de-
probation and contingent expenses.
Inc Bradford corporation inaugu-
rated their scheme OF hirlng-in which,
ny the way,arc lamps also are included
on similar terms-in November. 1896,
and up to October OF this year had sup
piled ninety-eight motors to consum-
ers. The increase in electricity sup
piled for motive power in 1896, with
only two months OF the hire system in
iorce. over that supplied In 1895. was
little over 1900 Board of Trade
units; in 1897 the increased sale over
1896 was $4,000 units. and for 1898
the increase over 1897 will probably
be nearly $4,000 units. representing a
more than SO per cent increase. These
hgures SHOW very strikingly to what
extent the facilities offered by the
Bradford corporation are appreciated.
Hitherto the supply has been con-
hned to small-power uses, such as for
cranes. hoisSs, fans, pumping and sim
liar purposes. More recently. how
ever. applications for motor service
nave come from large spinning and
weaving firm, several foundries where
blowers are to be driven, n sawmiii re-
curing about twenty horsepower, and
an engineering shop requiring about
hfty horsepower. nll OF which ind.-
Gates growing and gratifying conf

SWAN IN SPITE OF HANDourrs
Remarkable Performance OF Mani.e
who Jumped ovsrboard.

VINO Jumped Overheard.
From the New York Times. Ths
Ward line steamer Seneca, which ar
rived here yesterday from South Gu
ban ports, brought with her W. H.
Seymour. engineers yeoman OF the re-
frigerator ship Glacier. who was res
cued from drowning after he had
thrown himself from the ship into the
sea near Cape Cruz Seymour came
aboard the Seneca at Santiago in charge
of Surgeon Burns. U. s. N. of the
cruiser Cincinnati and an attendant.
He was mentally deranged. and was
bound for St ElizabethS hospital for
the insane at Washington. While the
Seneca was on her way to Manzanillo
on Nov. 22 Seymour became unruly
and was placed in irons. On Nov. 22
the Seneca left Manzanillo for Cienfu-
egos, and Seymour was allowed to
have the liberty of the main deck aft.
SO that he might get little fresh air
and exercise. Handouts were still
kept on his wrists in order to prevent
him from making any violent demon
strations. AT 1880 O'Clock the stew
ard appeared upon the bridge and in
formed First Offlcer Reed whose watch
1t was, that passenger was overheard.
The ship was at once stopped and
backed up to where Seymour. who is
a large. powerful man. was seen swim
ming. handcuffed as he was, toward
the shore which was between three
and four miles distant. A starboard
boat was lowered away with all speed.
First Officer Reed took command of
the boat. and 1t was manned by Fred
Hausen. George Thompson. Christo-
pher Knudsen and Louis Larsen. sea-
men. The boat made at once for Sey-
mour. and he was dragged from the
water and taken back to the ship.
When the maniac was overtaken he
was still swimming on his back. but
he made no resistance. From the
time the steward made his report to
the moment Seymour again stood on
the deck only fifteen minutes elapsed.
1t was probably one of the speediest
rescues on record. Second Ofiicer Par
ker was in his bunk when the alarm
was given. He was sent for to relieve
the first officer. but the rescue was SO
speedy that it was all over before he
had reached the bridge. Whom Sey-
mour was asked why he had jumped
overheard he said: Il thoaght I'd
take bath. That was the only way
could get home"

nature. Own Memorials.

TIE first realization of new idea in
the matter OF historic memorials has
Just been accomplished in England by
the presentation to the National Trust
for Places Of Historic Interest OF some
land on the spur of Toys Hill. which
affords an uninterrupted view toward
the South Downs. The headlands OF
Kent and Surrey have in late years
been rapidly bought up and enclosed
for building purposes by private par
ties. The trust was anxious to secure
one of these admirable points OF view
before they had all been taken away
from the public. 1t was thought that
there could be no more interesting
memorial than a beautiful and com
manding view overlooking scene OF
historic interest.
