NEW INCANDEsCENT LAMP.
Rivals the Candle Incandescent
 Electric Light


 Electric Light.
 The sixteen-candle incandescent elec- tric lamp has met its first competitor in a gas burner recently patented by the Kern Incandescent Gas Light com- pany of IS Murray street, New York city. This burner, the company main- tains, consumes but one cubic foot an hour, and, with gas at one dollar per thousand cubic feet, costs for forty can dies of light about one-tenth of cent per hour. The company therefore can offer with lights of similar shape to the regular incandescent light, which costs for sixteen candles three-quarters of a cent per hour, burners that make the cost of gas from one-ffteenth to one twentieth the cost of electricity. The company has globes composed of innu- merable varieties of glassware, clear and rough, crystal, opal decorated, col ored and stalactite, costing, burner and globe complete, from $1.05 to $4.50. It is especially urged for this burner that it is not only the most economical but that the cool, luminous light which it gives is in agreeable contrast to the light of the ordinary burner The Brad ley company, 15S orange street, are the agents of the Kern company in this city and will be pleased 10 furnish all particulars concerning this interesting new light.

the table I will see that last ten and raise you ten more he said slowly and very distinctly. Then still keeping his eyes fixed on Williams face and pass ing his right hand slowly before the gamblers face, bending toward him until he almost touched him, he added in cold commanding voice: And you will pass You will pass. You will pass!
 Williams seemed dazed. Several times he tried to lift his eyes and col feet his nerve, but his own glance dropped before that of his opponent. His right hand still held his cards, his left hand was placed over his remain ing greenback, which lay on the table.
 " You will pass again said the pro- lessor.
 'I will pass murmured Williams, as if in a dream.
 The professor gathered up the money in the pot, and leaving Williams still clutching his last ten dollar note bowed to us in dignifled way and passed out of the tent into the rain. We never saw him again nor did we desire to. He didn't need to stop and explain what his game was after that. It knocked my doubts about hypnotism higher than a cooked hats and I have been a firm believer in its power ever since. We looked at the professors cards few minutes later and found a pair of sevens among them. Any sci ence that can make two sevens beat four aces in a jackpot doesn't deserve to be sneezed at.

President MCKinley'S
Message

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3-Following Is
President McKinley's message. transmitted
to Congress to-day:
To the Senate and House Of Representa-
tives:
At the outgoing of the old and the in
coming OF the new century you begin the
last session of the Fifty-sixth Congress
with evidences on every hand of individual
and national prosperity and with proof OF
the growing strength and increasing power
for good Of republican institutions. Your
countrymen will join with you in felicita-
ton that American liberty is more firmly
established than ever before, ana that love
for IL and the determination TO preserve
IL are more universal than at any former
period OF our history.
The Republic was never so strong, be-
cause never so strongly intrenched in the
stitution, with few amendments, exists as
II left the hands of it's authors. The ad-
ditions which have been made TO il pro-
claim larger freedom and more extended
citizenship. Popular government has dem
onstrated in its one hundred and twenty
four years of trial here its stability and
security, and its efficiency as the best in
strument of national development and the
best safeguard to human rights.
When the Sixth Congress in
November. 1900, the population Of the
United States. was 5,30S. 4S3. 1t is now
1904. 1893. Then we had sixteen States; now
We have forty-five. &. Then our territory
consisted OF $1,000 square miles; 1t is now
3.646. 595 square miles. Education, religion
and morality have kept pace with our adj
vancement in other directions, and while
extending its power the government has
adhered to its foundation principles and
ahated none of them in dealing with our
new peoples and possessions. A nation
SO preserved and blessed gives reverent
thank to God and invokes His guidance
and the continuance of his care and favor.

in accordance with the temporary arrange
ment OF October, 1899, was completed by a
joint survey In July last. The modus vi
vendi has so far worked without friction
and the Dominion government has provided
rules and regulations for securing to our
citizens the benefit OF the reciprocal stipu-
lation that the citizens or subjects OF either
power found by hat arrangement within

shall suffer no diminution Of the rights and
privileges they nave hitherto enjoyed. But.
however necessary such an expedient might
have been TO tide over the grave emergen-
cies OF the situation. IL is at best but an
unsatisfactory makeshift, which should not
be suffered to delay the speedy and COM
plete establishment Of the frontier line to
which we are entitled under the Russo
American treaty for the cession OF Alaska.
In this relation / may refer again to the
need of definitely marking the Alaskan
boundary where II follows the one hundred
and forty-first meridian. A convention to
that end has been before the Senate for
some two years. but as no action has been
taken 1 contemplate negotiating a new con-
vention for a joint determination of the
meridian by Geographic observations
These. 1t is believed, will give more accu-
rate and unquestionable results than the
sidereal methods heretofore independently
followed, which, as is known, proved dis
crepant at several points on the line, al
though not varying at any place more than
700 feet.

The report of the superintendent Of the

second-class mail matter were transported.
This means that 1T would take 22,502 regu-

pose. to transport this class of matter.
