LIGHTING THE ISLANDS.
The Lighting committse Considers the
Question and Listens TO Proposals.

The lighting OF Peaks and Long islands
IL always more or less Of problem.
The city government committee which
has the matter in charge this season,
has found the situation this year TO be no
different from other years and they are
now trying TO make up their minds
just what it is Test TO do. Peaks island
is. In the summer sesson, pretty well
settled community. 1t is the mecca for
many townspeople and strangers at
night IS well as In the day time and 1t
should DO we'll lighted. This year some
OF the lighting committee thought that
the city had bean paying too much for
the street lighting on Peaks. The bill
for lighting Peaks last year by siectrici-
U was s9l5, this being the amount tho
city paid Mr.. q. W. I. Cooling, manager
Of the Casco Bay line. who has the CON-
tract. Those members Of the committee
who believe . saving could be made,
asked the Welsbaoh Lighting company to
submit bids for gasoline Wslsbach bur n
ers and alto asked Mr.. Cooling to submit
proposals. Yesterday afternoon the
committee held . meeting to hear the
proposals. Mr.. Cooling appeared before
the committee and stated his case. He
said that II cost him much more to run
an electric lighting plant on Peaks for
the period Of 10 weeks than 1t would cost
to run q similar plant on the main land
the year round. He said 1t cost him 81
ton more for his coal at Peaks and
considerable more for repairs. Mr.. God
ing finally offered to light Peaks this
year for $500, saving to the city Of Sis
over last years bill.
The proposals OF the welsbsoh company
were then opened. Two proportions
were submitted, the one for term Of
three years and the other for tive years
No one year bid was submittsd to the
committee. For lighting Long island
with naphths Welsbaohs, the price for
the year was 81, 101 "a, against t6sQ. which
the lighting cost last year. II II under
stood that the lighting committee deoid-
ed that the welsbsch lighting for Peaks
would be too expensive and that they
will decide not to make any change on
Long island In the system. Some lamps
and fixtures were added on Feaks and
Long islands last year which cost $500.
This unusual Expense will not have to be
borne this season, 80 that II the PROPOSE
ton Of Mr.. Cooling Ii accepted the saving
for lighting Peaks and Long Islands
during the coming season will be about
s4l5. The Welsbaoh price for lighting
from dark until midnight,is nine and a
half cents fer each night for three
years. contract and one-eighth of q cent
less per light for I've years. contract.
No definite action has as yet been taken
and 1t is not unlikely that the matter
will reach the city council before 1t is
definitely settled.

Cards are not played as much on
the cars as they used to be-" said the
commercial traveller. "a few years
ago it was common sight to see three
or four games, whist, euchre, poker or
seven up, going on in a car, and wher-
ever four or five drummerS were gath
cred together there was sure to be a
lively game of draw in progress. Sub
urban trains were turned into whist
clubs, and morning and night the COM
muters were engaged in a rubber.
But all this has been changed. Now
adays it is the hardest thing in the
world to get up game of any kind in a
train. Ask a stranger If he would like
to take a hand at whist or euchre, and
he will freeze you with n suspicious
look And. what is worse. he is entire
ly justified in his suspicious.
I'm the last ten years the railroads of
this country have been the harvest for
gamblers, bunko men and short card
experts. They have worked the field to
the limit. from New York to California
and from Vermont to Florida. They
have worked Ell kinds of fiimham
games, until now it is almost impossi-
BILE for n man to flash 4 deck of cards

States. to land troops for the protec-
ton of their people. If the project is
carried out the participation by this
government in the present movement
may carry US into the final deal for
the partition of the Chinese empire.
This condition is to be deplored. for
the possession of Asiatic territory
peopled with Mongolian population
has been shown to be bad for us
through our experience in the Philip
pines. The record of the present ad-
ministration shows that it will gladly
go into the land robbery proposed by
European nations, and furnishes addi-
tional reasons for changing the ad-
ministration as soon as possible.
