SYSTEN IS STILL YOUNG.

| Electric Lights Were First Seen at tn,
Centennial Exposition.
The electric light Is new and yet is
so old that perhaps we do not appre-
ciate its marvellous achievement. If
we Will but recall the conditions be-
fore It came we shall see what a won
derful advance 1t has been in the field
of applied science Its use in theaters,
in stores, In show windows, in street
illuminations, in private as well as in
public. Its application for lighting in
all sorts of out-of-the-way corners, its
divisibility into various degrees of
power. its absolute safety so long as
the wires are properly guarded. its per-
feet sanitary qualities, 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 discovery Yet
this light was shown in this county
for the first time at the centennial ex-
hibition-twenty-fiv years ago. And
1t Is needless to say that those who
saw it were skeptical of its practical
use. Arc lighting was produced on a
commercial basis In 1877, but the real
beginning Of electric lighting in its
modern aspects was with the opening
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 careful tabulation made
by the Electrical Review. the invest
ment in electric lighting plants in this
country alone has reached the sum OF
800, 100000 This wonderful industry
has been established in this short time
and we must now remember in the face
of the organized and long established
competition of gas illumination, pow
erful and rich interest which until the
adoption of electric light occupied the
whole field for the best kind OF light

All hope of passing law authoriz-
ing reciprocity with Cuba at this ses-
sion of congress has been abandoned
by the large majority of republicans,
although few of the supersanguine
still claim that something will be
done. Recently conference Of the
republican senators was held and sew
enteen declared their opposition to
Cuban reciprocity in any form. 1t
had previously been determined by
the steering committee that, unless a
sufficient number of republican votes
could be pledged to secure the passage
of the Spooner substitute for the Cuban
reciprocity bill passed by the house,
no action would be taken on the floor

GUNS AND DOGS
WILL BE CALLED INTO SERVICE ON
NEXT SATURDAY.
The quail season Opens on That Date
and West vfrginians wfII be Oat
for sport.

Guns and dogs form the all absorb
ing topic now. Next Saturday is the
first day Of November and on that day
the local sportsmen with their guns
and dogs, will seek the fields where
Bob White lies hidden amidst the rank
growth Of rag weed and stubble.
The very first rays Of the sun viii find
every energetic sportsman in. the field
and ready to shoot despite the fact
that eveiy one Of them is perfectly
we'll aware that the best shooting is to
be obtained between eight and nine
O'Clock by which time the birds have
begunsfeeding. Then the dogs are able
to work better. the birds moving
having left trail here and there
through the stnbble making them fsr
easier to find than when they are Gov
led all in one spot, where Panama
hat would cover the entire bunch.
There are few sports which afford
the exhiIaration that comes to one
while watching the rush of shis dogs
through rag weed and stubble while
the steam rolls up from their nostrils
as they eagerly search the air for
traces of the game little bird that
will be the piece de resistance of many
u dinner next Sunday.
The most shooting. it is presumed,
this season will be done f'opg the
Potomac river. The railroad makes
the back country accessible now,
and one can, within few hours. land
right in the midst of a quail shooters
paradise so far as such can be found in
West Virginia. The countr is view
rough, tbs true, yet the thoroughbred
quail shooter doesn't mind that SO
much-in fact he doesn't stop to think
of it until the days sport is over and
he has seated himself before the fire in
some hospitable country home, after
supper, simply delicious, composed
of fried bacon and potatoes. hot bis
cults and real butter, hot coffee and
all the other things that no one but
the country housewife knows how to
prepare in a manner that would at
tract the appetite of perfect epicure.
Where many of the local sportsmen
expect to open the season this year is
a matter of conjecture. Probably the
most of them will not know until the
night before the season opens Then
they will fix some place in their minds
and drop off to dreams only perhaps,
to change their ideas with the ting-a-
ling of the alarm clock early the next
morning Some will take the O. V.
r. r. and get off several miles up
that road; other will take the B. &
O. and take to the fields somewhere
in the vicinity of Cherry Run Station,
or Berkeley Springs; some will take
rigs aud drive few miles cut into the
country along Back creek some will
go west, possibly into Hampshire
county. and some will go to Hedges
Vile near where they will spend the
day. There are numerous good places
to go and the first day will doubtless
witness such a bombarding as has not
occurred in a long time However.
everyone will enjoy it aud at the close
of the season will count the time they
spent in the field well lost from their
daily labors They will be just as well
off, perhaps better, and one thing
certain, thew will feel far better ell
the rest of the wear.
