In the business of manufacturing cleo

power is used. the only available by prod

discharged into the air, and is entirely
available for steam heating purposes In
certain towns in the Western States, nota-
bIy in Wisconsin and Minnesota, where
the winters are long and severe, the cleo
tric light stations have laid systems of un-
derground pipes, and have supplied steam
heat and hot water to citizens through
them. The experiment has been an un-
qualified success.

Genius Akin to Madness.


Prof irasset, of Montpelier, one Of the
most eminent savants of France, and who,
since the death of Pastcur aud Charcot,
has probably rendered more distinguished
services to the cause of science than any
living Frenchman, has just published an
interesting minpte based on certain recent
researches showing the extreme dclicacy of
the human brain, and that men of genius
are often madmen. lis thesis stnkingly
illustrates the saying that
Great Wit to madness closely tsaIlied.

When You're Feeling Onions.

A Yankee authority gives this rem
edy for the discomfort which accom-
panies the act of peeling onions: The
pungent odor of the onion is due to
sulphurous oil, which volatil!zes rap
idly when the tissues Of the vegetable
are broken in any manner, and es-
pecially affects the delicate mem
branes surrounding the eyes. This eff
feet, however, can be easily avoided
by sticking a small pared potato on
the end of the knife with which the
cutting is done. A chemical affinity,
which cannot be readily explained,
but which is none the less satisfactory
in it's working, attracts the fumes and
their presence is not manifested to the
operator until the potato has reached
a certain degre of saturation, when 1t
can be readily replaced by another.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, rs they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inf1amed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when IL is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces. We will

CONCEALED SMALLPOX.
Sarah Edmondson, Colored, and
Family Arrested on this Charge.

Warrants have been taken out by
City Health Officer Porter against
Sarah Edmondson and her family,
negroes living at No. 9 Woodside street,
charging them with concealing smallpox.
About two weeks ago DR.. Porter heard
rumor that smallpox existed at this
house, hut, a search being made, it was
found that the report was incorrect, and
the Doctor warned the negroes that if
smallpox did break out in the house
there would be penalty against con-
cealing it.
Last Tuesday week week ago, the
woman's husband came home sick
from Mt. Pleasant, and on Friday broke
out with an eruption. The family
kept the matter secret until Monday
of this week, when, learning that it had
leaked out, and becoming alarmed
themselves, they reported it to the
Health Officer.
In the meantime, the negro woman
had been taking in washing and going
about as though nothing was wrong
DR.. Porter sent the negro man to the
pest house, and, as stated above, hao
warrants taken out against the others

COLUMBIA WANTS LIGHT.
If the Present Company Can't Give 1t,
Another Company Can.
Editor DAILY HERALD:

At least in one case, the people of
Columbia are tolerant to the eX-
treme. We are continually harping
about soul less corporations, monopo-
lies aud combines, but their baneful
effects are not near so potent or
direct as one we have right here
with us.
We have no fight to make on the
local managers, or any of the en-
ployes of the Columbia Water Il
Light Company, because we think
they give the best service possible
with the machinery they have. But
a town of seven or eight thousand
people is certainly entitled to better
service than we get. The amount
paid for arc lights by the city is. /
am told, high compared with other
places of the same size. 1t Is true
the city gets rebate fer the time
these lights are out, but still this Ia
not satisfying, as the streets are dark
end the people want light; they are
not only willing, but anxious to pay
for something this company cannot,
or will not furnish them.
As to the incandescent lights, they
are almost useless in business
houses, or places of public gathering.
They are off and on so much that
they are really more annoying than
useful, and when the gas is substi-
tuted it makes bad matters worse.
1t is not the peoples fault that a
belt breaks or generator burns out.
These accidents cannot be prevented,
but thew can be provided against,
by duplicate supplies ready for the
emergency; and the fact that they
have one thousand lights on seven
hundred capacity dynamo, is of no
concern to the people. Eight nights
out of the last ten these lights have
been out from five to forty minutes,
and no adequate deduction Is made
for the trouble, to say nothing of the
inconvenience this occasions, in
homes or business houses, hunting
around for oil lamps, while people
in churches sit in the dark or wait
until the gas is lit and then get
smoked out. 1t is no good argu-
ment, neither is it very good man
ners, on the part of the Company, to
say that "if you don't like our lights
don't have them put in, and you will
not have them to nay for" Column
bia deserves, and is willing to pay
for a good system of electric light
ing, and II this Company will not
furnish good and reliable service
sufficient encouragement should be
given a new company that will.
Instead of making "who is going
to be policemen" the chief issue,
the question Of good lights and other
important ones, should be made the
paramount issues In our next munic'
ipal campaign. X. q. A.

One of the most interesting OF
Fourth of July celebrations was held
at old Hartford Town (now Bush), in
Maryland. The event of the day was
the unwilling of a tablet in honor of
the Hartford committee which in 1775
signed a formal declaration in sup
port of the people against British OPP
preston. In the town still stands the
ancient hosiery at which men of rev.
dictionary prominence rested at vari-
Gus times. Washington passed through
Hartford on his triumphal march to
his first Inauguration.

The telephonograph is the latest in
vention along the lines of the tele-
phone. Its object is to make perma-
nent record of the telephone message,
which can be repeated to the receiver
any length of time after 1t is sent.
This telephcnograph does not have the
waxed cylinder. 1t passes a steel tape
from one spool to another over a mag
net, something after the manner OF
the linked tape of the typewriter. When
the tape is passed over the magnet
again it repeats the message.

to President Jiminez of San Domingo.
Wright was a first lieutenant in the
recruiting. service prior to the Cuban
war. He was in Cuba when Jiminez
organized the revolution and went
with the general to San Domingo. It
is said the Jiminez owes much of his
success to Wright's fertility of re-

In Japan, where the people are fond
of everything in miniature, the small
est breed of dogs in the world has it's
home. They belong to the family of
spaniels, and are black and white or
yellow and white, and the smaller they
are the more money they will bring.
A pup of one year, weighing five
pounds was recently sold for $3.50. If
the breeder is fortunate enough to
raise a spaniel weighing only pounds
or less he can get almost any price
he wants for it. Sales have been made
for the sum of $780, One of these queer
little dogs can easily sit on a mans
hand or find a comfortable nook for
sleeping in a boot. They are very de-
licate and tender, and they have to be
watched and cared for like a baby.
If given proper attention they will
sometimes live to the age of ten years.

Wants the Candidates to Speak.

Mr.. Editor: AS the election of town
officials is approaching wouldn't it be
good idea 10 advocate the candidates
publicly expressing their views on i'm
portant matters: lst. The street duty.
TO reduce it, make all pay it or wipe it
out entirely. There are men who toast
OF never paying street duty, yet 1 was
fined $500 by one of the councilmen for
not paying for the several months I
lived away from town. Wasn't that an
imposition, when others who live here
go free! Again, there are dozens of
negroes who join the fire company to
evade the street duty, while 6 or s
would do rs much good at fire as all
the big crowd that belong to the com
panies. Why not make law limiting
the number of all iiremen and make the
balance pay the street duty.
Lets hear from all the candidates.
The voters want to know how you
stand.
Respectfully,
