COAL.
City Electric Lighting.
From the Philadelphia Times.

Like many other useful things in Phila =
deiphla. under the present municipal man
agement. the street lighting costs too much
We have more electric lights than any
other city in the United States and pay
more for each light than any but two or
three Of the larger cities pay. The present
rate Is S1lO year for each of about 5000
arc lights. This rate is not fixed by COM
petition, for there has been no competition
In recent years, and one opposition COM
p&ny that has repeatedly offered to fur
nish lights at s73 each has had its bid re-
peatedly ignored.
This figure represents about the rate that
prevails In the smaller cities of the state
II is based on an estimated cost of 20
cents per night for each lamp. The Phila-
delphia rate Is 3o.2 cents So great dis
crepaney cannot be accounted for by the
superiority OF the Philadelphia service AS
lcng as one company or combination is as
sured of the contract from year to year. to
the exclusion of all others, II is able to fix
the rate at its own figures. Under the law
which limits such contracts to one year,
with the present system of awarding the
contracts but a short time before the year
begins competition Is very difficult An
electric lighting plant cannot be constructed
on such a venture Yet even under exist
ing laws 1t Is evident that competition
could be had IL the city officials desired it,
and there can be no doubt that the cost of
lighting could be materially reduced.

No Trouble to Result From Order At
fecting NOn-UniOn Feeders.
Since the declaration Of the local Press
mems Union, made several months ago,
that on the 1st of September it's members
would refuse to work with non-union feed
ers, there has been gradual growth in the
membership of the Feeders Union. Out OF
the 200 female press feeders in the govern
ment printing office. it is stated, all but
twelve are now members of the union. A
meeting of this Organization has been
called for tonight at Typographical Tenn
pie. when it is expected that these twelve
will be admitted.
1t is declared by, labor leaders that the
putting of this order into effect next Tues
day will not causena strike or other dis
turbance in the government printing office
or elsewhere in thee city.s II a feeder who
is not a member ofgthe slnion reports for
duty on that morning, lthe pressman to
who she or he is assigned will simply
notify the foremansthat his feeder is not a
member of the union, and make request
for union helpeIs This will tie up the
with practically the Whole force organized,
it is believed among the union members
that the administration officials of the
office would request the belligerent feeder
to either join the union be considered
obnoxious to the office.
No trouble is expected among private
firms as 1t Is declared that the feeders in
all Of the larger printing establishments
are organized.

Fairgrounds in Honolulu.
From the Hawaiian Star.

At last there seems to be chance for
the realization of an idea which has been
written about. talked about, speechified
about, voted upon for the past half dozen
years or more. The idea is playground
for children. What Is now coming into
shape is not public playground, such as
was advocated at Aala, but 1t will be a
playground for an,1organization known as
the Boys Brigade, n This practically makes
1t semi-public. 1t VIII be supported by pri-
vate donations. mo- public money having
been asked for 1t, and, III the present state
of the treasury, no public money, would
have been obtainable, even If the recent
Legislature had voted funds for the pur-
pose, thing that it was probably incapa-
BILE of doing. The Heed OF Fairgrounds for
the city children. the children Of the poor
has long been recognized. Any one who
goes about the citys especially around Pala-

Oiled Roads for Sacramento.
From the Los Angeles Herald

sacramento has concluded that IL 1t
wants to be great capital like ancient
nome, and have all roads lead to it, the
first requisite is to make its conyergine
roadWays passable. The capital city holds
the olstinction of having for its approaches
the worst roads in the state. Stirred by the
viate the defect. Like some other northern
communities when confronted by an emer-
gency, It turns to southern California for
advice and instruction. An official delega-
tion from Sacramento, comprising two SUI
pervisors and a surveyor, have been max
Ing exhaustive researches at Redlands with
the object of getting points on the oil
process of road-making. They were es-
corted over many miles OF fine roadway,
made possible by the use of Oil, and they
were SO pleased with the experience that
g. favorable report Is certain. Quite likely

veioped In clouds Of dust.

Alleged Damages $4,000.

Suit at law was entered in the District
Supreme Court today by Agenor ST. Paul
Reynolds against William r. Covington for
$4,000 damages. The complainant states
in his bill that he was formerly employed
by the defendant in the business of selling
Photographic instruments and supplies. He
states that he severed business connections
with the defendant about July 81 last.
Shortly afterward, he says. the defendant,
in conversation with several persons at diff
ferent times, including Christine McNeill,
Howard G.. Wagner. Henry A. Farnham
and Others remarked that the plaintiff had
got away from me with about $15," and
that Reynolds quit me about SIS ahead Of
the game"
The plaintiff states that these remarks
greatly injured his character and interfered
with successful pursuit of employment

Regarded as Significant.

The action taken by creditors of the City
and Suburban Railway Company is looked
uIon in local financial circles as of con-
siderable significance for the reason prin-
cipaly that the money which is thus al
legged to be owed is due either to the con-
stituent companies of the Washington
Traction Company or to the United States
Mortgage and Trust Company of New
York city. The latter is understood to
have financed the purchase Of the proper
ties controlled by the Washington Trac-
ton Company in this District.
1t was impossible today to secure any au-
tEoritative statement in regard to the mat
ter, but it is conjectured by those who
keep informed on such subjects that the
filing of the suit is move in the direction
of refnancing the Washington Traction
Company. 1t is supposed that the sums
alleged to have been advanced to the City
and Suburban Company represent what is
known as the floating Indebtedness of that
company.
1t is conjectured, also, that this step may
be preliminary to the asking for receiver
for the road to be followed by sale OF
the property using the receipts to pay of
the bonds as far as that may be possible.
1t is also said that perhaps it is the pur-
pose to pursue the same policy as to the
Anacostia. the Brightwood and the Ten
leytown companies and after the securities
of these companies have been cleaned up
by a sale, then it may be that these roads,
with the Metropolitan. the Columbia and
the Great Falls, will be united under the
management Of one company, as authorized
by the law of June, 1900
According to the views of those who have
studied the situation, the above will be the
method followed in the plan of reOrganiZa-
tion, which is still under consideration by
a committee of bondhOlderS of the Wash
ington Traction Company.

MARKET VALUES OF WIVES.
Ruling Prices Rather Rcnrish nt the
Present Time.

Wives are cheap today. a man recent
ly made a claim against the London Post
office because through the late delivery
Of letter he had lost his prospective
bride. He asked for SIG, and when he
was awarded so only, said that he did
rot consider that sum full compensation.
In Canada wives come higher-at least
If one can Judge from a recent adyer-
tisement in I, Montreal paper, in which
the advertiser offered s. $50 down to any
third person who would find him the sort
Of wife he described. Her chief qualih-
cations we're that she should be domestic,
home loving, and a coed cook"
This advertiser should have had his at
tontion called to the offer OF MIR John
Dorm. a Strassburg man, whose daughter,
Dorothea Dorm. scaled l3S pounds at the
age of eighteen. The father Of this
weighty lady offered a sum equal to $3.50
to any one who would marry his daughter
Two years later, Miss Dorothoa having
Increased her weight 10 300 pounds. Mr.
Dorm doubled his offer. He then found a
husband in a young man called HentzeI
Boys are evidently more valuable In the
eyes OF the law than girls. A Yorkshire
tEngland) jury recently awarded 81 0G0 to
a boy who had lost his right hand in an
accident. The very same jury on the fol-
lowing day had case before 1t OF a girl
of the same age-fourtcen--who had also
lost right hand in similar fashion. TO
her they gave as compensation only $3.50
To most people 1t would certainly seem
that a one-handed boy had better chance
than a girl similarly MANNED.
London juries are apparently more gem
erous. An infant named Taylor, living at
Wandsworth, recently received S625 for
injuries to his foot caused by the coster's
barrow on which he was seated being run
down by milk van. In another instance
the wife Of a colonel of the Connaught
Rangers received Sl7 900 in compensation
for hurts received in railway accident
at Norton Bridge. little more than
year ago
Even the latter compensation fades into
insignificance compared with the price
paid by the Brazilian Government few
months ago for the recent lynching Of a
French subject at Ris Grande. The Bra
zillans declared that the tumultuous act
Of a mob could not be made a ground for
diplomatic proceedings" France replied
that 100000 was the price OF this dead
Fronchman, and got it.
