ARTIFICIAL GOODNESS.
4 PROPOSITION 10 MODERATE
HIGH TEMPERATURE OF
HEATED TERM.

1t may be news to many Of the people
OF this section that in many large cities
the high temperatures Of the summer
heated term are amellorated and build
lngs kept cool and comfortable inside,
while outside the temperature may be
lUO degrees in the shade or higher.
rms, however, is n fact, and this
happy condition Is obtained in pipes to
distant points from central plant,
where the pressure is furnished, and
the system of distribution is much like
that for gas or water and, in some
places, this method of cool air supply
Is considered as essential rs u supply
of gas or water during the extreme
heat of summer.
1t is proposed by well known Norfolk
business men to establish n plant for
this purpose in Norfolk, and a franchise
has been asked for. 1t Is the purpose
of the projectors, when the franchise
has been granted, to at once establish
the plant, install machinery and lay
pipes for circulation.
MUCH LABOR EMPLOYED.
If the company is enabled to begin
work within the next three weeks, 1t is
estimated that from s65.000 to $4,000
will be expended in Norfolk for labor
and materials.
1t is estimated that the system can
be put in running order by April 18TH
If the franchise needed is granted
promptly.
AS INTRODUCED ELSEWHERE.
This system has been introduced ex-
tensively at New York. Boston, Phlla-
delphia, Chicago. Atlantic City, N. J..
and other Northern and Western cities
The pressure Is kept on the main line
and is turned on by valves in the build
ings or rooms to be refrigerated. The
main line proposed In Norfolk is down
Main street. Roanoke avenue and Water
streets. Extension will be made as the
increasing demands of the public JUS
tify
The advantages of this system of re-
frigcration over any other means now
used are its dryness. uniformity of tenn
perature, easy regulation of degrees
and readily securing and maintaining
any temperature desired

Strength OF Rival
Armies in The
TransvaaI.

Military critics close to the War
Office say that the expected battle
along the wide and south and west
of Ladysmith can hardly be delayed.
From Durham it is reported that
fighting has already begun.
The British forces engaged in the
flanking operations across the Tuge
la number, according to one autho-
rity, thirteen thousand or fourteen
thousand bayonets, twelve hundred
horses and forty guns. The disposi
tion of the other fifteen thousand or
twenty thousand men is not known,
but the assumption is that the whole
army. will be In action when the
hour for the engagement arrives.
Three weeks ago General Butler
had thirty thousand men. Conside-
rabIe reinforcements have since rea-
ched him, giving him probably thir-
ty,five thousand men and eighty
guns. all told.

Seeking To Ruin
Puerto Rico.

The United States having acqui-
red Puerto Rico and its people, the
gigantic combinations interested in
such products as are raised in the
island are rushing to Washington
with war cries of g Protection"
The President recommends free
trade with Puerto Rico. The COM
binatiOns propose to call the at
tention of the Administration to the
injustice which is offered to worthy
and extensive American industries" I"
The Protection" asked for by
these interests of this country will
starve the people the United States
have elected to protect. This people
have as much right to every benefit
to be derived from American Cons
titution and American laws as any
American capitalist.
The tobacco men, the beet sugar
men, the cane men and others inte-
rested in locked door against Puer-
to Rican commerce, know full well
that such a state of things will mean
disaster and ruin for the islanders.
The policy outlined by the Pre-
sident is a good one, and should be
carried out to the letter. A few
miles of blue water between the
farms of New York and the farms
of Puerto Rico should make no diff
ference in the humane treatment of
the farmers themselves.
Puerto Rico is American. Its
industries are American, and its
ambitions are American. There
should be no difference, therefore,
in the significance Of the flag flying
over the Capitol at Washington and
the national colors above the roofs
of the humble houses at Ponce.

To Relieve LadyS=
NTH.

After the last news received from
the theatre of war it seems evident
that Buffers best chances Ofrelieving
Ladysmith lie in a persistent conti-
nuance of his movement by the left
flank of the Beers. By pushing on
Warlea's column northward and, If
possible, seizing Van Reenen's Pass
he would be in position to compel
General Joubert to withdraw from
LadySmith in ordtr to secure his own
lines of communication. Bui it is
not unlikely that the British com
maDder has sent Warren westward
to draw off Beer troops from his front
and intends to strike his main blow
at Joubert's centre, near Ladysmith
where he may count upon a spiri
ted cooperation Of the garrison
under General White. Either of
these plans may promise favorable
results for the relief of Ladysmith,
though the latter is extremely pro
blematical unless Joubert commits
the blunder of unduly weakening his
centre.
On tbe other hand, the situation
apparently offers Joubert an oppor
tunity to rapidly mobilize his troops
and assail Warren's unintrenched
columns in great and perhaps over.
powering fOrce--a move which if
successful, would Illustrate Buffers
designs for the relief of Ladysmith.
The strength of the Bocr army is not
known; hence it is impossible to say
whether Joubert has troops enough
tc undertake so audacious a counter
stroke against Warren without pea-
kening too much his centre and left.
But, as his centre and right are pro-

Estimates of how many men and
guns the Beers have to oppose him
are mere guesswOrk. In not re-
plying to General Lyttleton's shells
they are using the tactics that pro,
we'd so successful at Magersfontein
and COlensO-lying low in their
trenches, ard thus hoping to con-
ceal their precise position until the
infantry advance.
The Daily Chronicles military
expert sees curious analogy bet
ween Buller's situation now and
Methuen's on the eve of Magers-
fontein. Now, as then, the Beers
are making stand, with their backs
to the investing lines. AS Lord

Partisan Drama
Played In Court

The trial of the Vicomte Arthur
d'Assallly for the attempted murder
of Mile. Susanne Brancaval has res
ulted in the acquittal of the accu,-
sed.
The case attracted a great deal Of
attention, and the court room was
crowded to hear the end.
Arthur GAssailly is complettly
bald. He is middle sized, and IA
tller stout. He appeared prostrated
and ashamed. The prosecuLrix wore
a charming hat of the Marie Antoi-
nette style and a tailor made cloak.
The story of the affair is just such
as forms the nucleous of thousands Of
everyday Partisan novels.
D'Assailly began life by spending
fortune. In 1897 he met Nile.
Brancava. He left his wife aud
travelled to Monte Carlo, the Cana
rios and the coast of Guinea. AT

money.

In any case, it seems clear des-
