The uses of electricity for rendering
homes more homeful. and relieving
the burden of daily homework, have
multiplied with astonishing rapidity of
late. The devices now available for
an establishment with a moderate in
come include hand lamps ornamented
candles, with miniature electric lights
at their tip, lamp attachments to the
faces of clocks. and even small lamps
for decorative purposes. In to houses
can be carried power from an econom-
ic plant for doing the larger part OF
homework, such as running flat-irons,
coffee-mills, sewing-nlachines, and ice
cream freezers. The. same current
may be used for boiling water and do
ing most of the ordinary cooking. New
mansions are being fitted with tele-
phones in place of the speaking-tubes,
and to correct buildings as well as
town Offices. Where a water-mill or
o windmill cannot be used to supply
power. the dynamo Is run. in many
cases, by a gasoline engine.

The disgrace of dying rich is posi-
bly, not SO much feared as the discom-
fort of dying poor. We have heard It
so asserted by persons of wealth whose
actual practice of giving left room for
no doubt of their sincerity. And the
same belief is held by the thousands
who, equipped with all the honors OF
flawless poverty, are yet sparing no
pains to provide a moneyed and dis
graceful end for themselves. But
there does seem to be agreement
among these that the way to get most
satisfaction out of dying rich is to
know that your money is going where
you would really like to have it 60.
1t is admitted to produce genuine an
guish to be forced to give your saw
ings to some institution which you
care little about in order to keep it
from relatives for whom you care less.

train robbery in Minnesota and
the hold-up of a stage coach in the Adj

OF the fact that the road agents are

The wonder is not that such things
happen. but that they are not of more
frequent occurrence in a country des-

FAMOUS BOOK CASE REVERSED
Appellate Court Renders Decision in
the Ives-EUis suit.

NEW YORK Dec 1S.-Carter Hughes
& Dwight. counsel for Brayton Ives. got
word today that the Court Of Appeals had
reversed the decision OF the court below
in the case which arose over the dis
pute between Mr.. Ives and C. II. Ellis
with regard to the genuineness OF the
famous Columbus" book which was sold
to Mr.. Ives by Mr.. Ellis
Mr.. Ives bought the book under the i'm
preston that il was printed in 1893, when
the letter from Columbus describing his
discovery OF America was news The
price was G10O less than the 81 900 Ellis
wanted. Some time after the book came
into his possession Mr.. Ives began to
have doubts.
Theodore L. Devlnne told him that he
thought the book was a Photographic re-
production, and was worth about $2.25.
Suit was brought against Mr.. Ellis in
1895.
Mr.. El.is, In his defence. said that he
had told Mr. Ives that there were doubts
about the genuineness Of the book. He
said that he had told Mr.. Ives that one OF
the fathers in the Ambrosian Library at
Milan. when asked his opinion as to the
genuineness OF the book, had merely
shrugged his shoulders.
Mr. Ellis testified that Mr. Ives an
swer to that was that the evidence OF
his own eyes was good enough for him.
The case went against Mr.. Ives before
Justice Leventritt, 9nd again when IL
was taken up to the appellate division.
The grounds on which the Court OF APP
peals reversed the courts below are not
yet known TO the lawyers.
