YARIEGATED LIST.
Rings Selections Made Public
For Carriers.
All of the Colored Applicants Cared
For Except One Who Some
times Scratches.

The Court House Gang finally got
it fixed up to suit themselves and
the result of the recent juggling of
the eligible list OF carriers was
made public Saturday. The first
Postmaster Breathltt saw of the
list was the notification of appoint
ments.
The following are to be the car
riers, all Republicans:
Alex c, Overshiner, Jr., white,
clerk in postoffice, transferred to
carrier service without examina-
ton.
Thos. F. Callard, white, son-in-
law of w. C. Wright, local poll
tlcian.
Arthur Whitlock, a colored school
teacher.
James Whitney, a colored lawyer.
These are the four regular car
riers. A substitute is also allowed
and this place goes to Peter Boyd,
well-known colored politician and
teacher.
There were four other applicants
who passed the examinations.
These were l.. w. Guthrie, Repub.
lican, who stood at the top of the
list; Frank Marion, who stood sec
ond; Eph Poston, COL, who stood
third, and Will Croft, Republican,
who came fifth in the list of nine.
This relative standing is not from
the official record, for only the can
didates on the Ring ticket have had
access to the report. 1t is made up
from the hearsay statements of the
applicants themselves. Will Will

MUSIC FROM AN ARC LAMP.

interesting Discovery In Electr! city
that May Be Turned to Account.
The time may not be far distant when
our cities will be furnished with music
at every corner. A curious discovery,
which results from much electrical re-
search and experiment at the central
technical college Of the city and guilds
OF London institute, is reported by w.
Duddeu. The arc. of course, Is the
blaze of light which exists between two
sticks of carbon placed end on and be-
tween which the electric current flows.
Two different kinds of carbon are en-
ployed in the arc lamps. In the one
kind the carbon stick is made hollow
and Is filed with a powdery material,
while in the other kind the carbon is
homogeneous. The former type Of car
bon is called ''cored," the latter solid"
Now, the cored carbon arc possesses
no musical soul. 1t is deaf to all per-
suasion, whereas the solid carbon are,
he finds, is like the mouthpiece of a
dute, ready to emit any note. The note
OF the flute depends, Of course, on the
length of the pipe, as determined by the
position of the fingers and the raising
of the keys, whereas the note given out
by the solid carbon arc depends on the
nature of bypass or ''shunt' that is
put across the carbons.
Mr.. Duddell. having evolved these
facts. arranged a keyboard of two oc-
taves, SO that he could play tunes. In
demonstrating this before the scientific
body referred to he arranged four arcs
in series to increase the loudness of the
sound, and by varying the self-induc-
ton and capacity in the .'shunt" cir
cult he played the national anthem
upon the electric light.
"Now, this Keyboard" he explained,
may be placed at distance from the
arc light, just as the current itself sup
piled to an arc lamp is in most cases
generated by machine at considera-
BILE distance.
Hence" said the scientist. 1--WE have
this great possibility-namely that the
ordinary arc lamps at present used in
lighting hall can be played on not
merely by performer who is in the
hall itself, but who may be outside it
somewhere else. Consequently an au-
dience who are paying no more atten-
ton to the arc lamps hung up above
them than they would to gasolier may
be suddenly astonished to hear tune
coming from the space aro,.ld them.,
Mr.. Duddell has also shown that the
electric light arc can be used as a tele-
phone receiver. He has already used
1t for the receiving of telephone cur
rents from transmitter spoken into
in another part of the building.

the manufacturers and refused to pay
for it. The manufacturers sued to col
lect.
The case was tried before Judge
Bollinger and jury. Attorneys Neal
& Neal, and s. A. Finger defended the
grocers. It was shown that the pow
der contained alum. The defence
claimed. consequently, that It was in
furious to health and that traf1c In
1t was against public policy. Expert
testimony was introduced to show that
alum when taken into the stomach
would influence the gastric Juices to
the detriment of the person using 1t.
The jury rendered verdict for the
defendants, which means that alum
baking powders are deleterious to
health, their sale illegal in the state.
The pure food laws of the state are

Spending Is Sometimes Saving.

The true end Of craftsmanship is to
promote the greatest public welfare,
whether this means saving dollars or
spending dollars. When economy will
contribute to this welfare economy is
good. but where 1t will cripple some

then economy Is bad: and the public
official who tries to make q record In
defiance Of this fact is no real friend to
public welfare. Where sinecures exist.

important work would be less effec-

LOVES HOSES BY THE WAY.


Life may be a thorny way
Briers In our path
But the fragrance Of the rose
A sweet soothing hath.
Vicious thorns may tear and sting;
Symbols they of wrath;
Loves sweet roses ever bloom
Fragrant by our path.
Life may be cloudy way
Hid the heavens blue
But She sun still sheds its light
Up above for you.
Though the storm to-day may rage
And pour out its wrath,
After all, Gods sacred bow
Arches DER the path.
Life may be weary way
WEAKNESS brings rest
Sorrows hand may fall on us
Mourning ones are bless'd.
Winds may chill and storms may sting
Storms may vent their wrath:
Loves sweet roses still will bloom
Fragrant by our path.

What Happened to the Man Who
Found 1t Cut.
1T occurred to an alchemist one day
that it would be fine thing to take
sulphur, saltpeter and dried toads
pound them together in an alembic
which he carefully luted and set ON
the furnace to heat. He poked up the
fire and waited around, thinking what
he would do with all his money if this
should turn out to be the powder of re-
duction that would turn base metals
into gold, when, bang! went the alem-
bic and the windows blew out, and the
door ripped off its hinges and fell down.
blam! The alchemist scuffied out from
under the ruins of the furnace, shook a
red hot coal or two out of his shoe and
the ashes off himself, and wondered
what had struck him. He tried It
again and again, and each time with
the same result; and then it dawned
upon him that he had discovered a
fair article Of blasting powder. Since
then about all that has been done to
his recipe has been to put in a little
better article of charcoal, say that of
willow twigs, instead of toasted toads
Little did the old alchemist drea m
what potency was in that powder of
reduction For such it is. Although
it never yet has turned lead into gold
by its mere touch, yet when a small.
round piece Of lead is put with the pow
der into an iron tube Of curious work

sible to convert another mans gold into
