rummaging among papers Yesterday,
found in her drawers the two certificates

never received from Secretary De Long.
One, for 81 900, is overdue, and the other
for like amount to Mildred Barry will

ney, was here today 10 have set the case
Mrs Barry brought to compel the asso
citation to pay without presentation of the
certificate. The association said it would
pay, but must have the certificate or an
indemnifying bond to protect the asso
citation in case some innocent party
should present the mislaid certificate.
Col. Nicholson even offered to 60 on
the bond, himself-to furnish the bond
en,ire-but Mrs Barry was obstinate.
In vain did John Hipp, her attorney.
plead with her. No, sir. she wanted
her money. never got any certificate and
wouldn't sign bond. And there it was
lying all the while among other papers
in her bureau drawer. 1t took S. A.

ABATEMENT OF DISEASE.
A Problem Whose Investigation Might
Yield Rich Results.

A Problem Whose Investigation Might
Yield Rich Results.
From the Philadelphia Times,
discussion has recently been conducted
In British medical Journalist in regard to
the diminished prevalence Of disease. Only
a single malady has been under considera-
ton, and the argument has been confined
to one possible explanation of it's subsid-
ence. But the scope of the inquiry might
advantageously be widened,R perhaps, be-
cause it is not impossible that influences
have been at work which are not yet fully
recognized. And if these have operated in
the past. why should they not also operate
1t is a matter of common knowledge that
three or four centuries ago. the bubonic
plague, which is now practically an oriental
again, with fearful effect Smallpox, too,
was once so common that an unpitted face
was rarer than one bearing the disfiguring
marks of this visitation. Now, the plague
Is essentially filth disease, and improved
local sanitation has done much to rid Lon
don, Paris Naples and other large Euro
pean cities of danger from that source,
while vaccination has unquestionably
proved marvellous protection against
smallpox. But the question arises. was
there no other factor in the problem? Is
the case as simple as it looks?
The disorder which the English experts
| have just been arguing about is an even
| more repulsive one-leprosy. Perhaps 1t
was never SO prevalent as the plague or
| smallpox, and it certainly is very much
slower In it's progress But it is distinctly
an infectious disease, and few hundred
/ years ago it was far more common than
| now, and it had been rooted in Europe from
| time immemorial. 1t has now practically
disappeared. A few cases exist at all large
centers of population. and precautions are
| taken by the authorities TO prevent con-
| tagion. But 1t is no longer the scourge II
/ once was.
This improvement is commonly attributed

THE ELECTRO LIGHT.
Shown for the First Time at the Cen
tennial Exposition. 1876.

From the indianapolis News.
The electric light is new, and yet is so
old that perhaps we do not appreciate its
marvellous achievement. If we will but re-
call the conditions before 1t came we shall
see what a wonderful advance it has been
in the field of applied science. Its use in
theaters in stores, in show windows, in
street Examinations, In private as well as
public, it's application for lighting in all
sorts of out-of-the-way corners. its diWs-
Utility into various degrees of power, its
absolute safety so long as the wires are
properly guarded, its perfect sanitary quail
tiles the practical absence OF heat and the
entire absence of odor are things that
make one feel that in the way OF lighting
we have come perhaps to the last discoF-
cry.
Yet this light was shown in this country
for the first time at the centennial exhibit
tion-twenty- years ago. And it is
needless to say that those who saw 1t were
skepticaI of it's practical use. Arc hgntlng
was protiuced on a commercial basis in
1877. but the real beginning of electric
lighting in it's modern aspects was with the
onening of the Pearl street station of New
York by Edison in September, 1882, where
the Edison incandescent lamp was used.
In the nineteen years since then, according
TO a careful tabulation made by the Elec-
trical Review, the investment In electrlc
lighting plants in this country alone mas
reached the sum Of $f00O00,O0. This won
derful industry has been established IN TINS
short time and, we must now remember,
in the face of the organized and long-es-
tab}ished competition of gas illumination,
q nowerful and rich interest which until
the adontion of electric light occupied the
whole field for the best kind of lighting.
