were bcarish, consequently those who
bought in the early session were eager

MEN AS STATESMEN

Major Sidney Herbert, that prolific
and interesting contributor to the Sa-
vannah News, says:
A brilliant young Georgia editor de-
clares that military men make poor
statesmen. The position of writer
is very much like the iuryman who
was for the acquittal of the prisoner.
but found that the other eleven Jury
men were for conviction. All history
proves that military men, the world
over, are the idols of the people. and
win many high places of honor in civil
life Webster and Clay, and not few
other eminent statesmen, were made
sad if not sore by being set aside in
their presidential aspirations by the
more favored claims of military heroes.
Clay once said, in his soreness. 81
pray God in His goodness to send war.
pestilence and famine, any scourge for
the sins of the people other than a mill
tary chief for ruler, and a wild, reck-
less enthusiasm for military glory. -
And yet Washington, whose military
glory could easily have made him Die
tator, was chosen as the first civil chief
magistrate of this then new republic.
And his successors down to the present
day, in large measure have been
military heroes of high or low degree.
And as general rule, think, they
have proven quite as good statesmen
as the majority ofpresidents from civil
pursuits alone. The cry of military
usurpations, sometimes heard in these
war days, is no new thing More than
eighty years ago it was heard in the
halls of our Congress.

ANOTHER LIGHTING BILL
HELD UP BY HOUSE MEMBERS.
Passage of Two Ordinances Before

save City $4,000 a Yenr.

Ordinances. approved by the Board of
Public Improvements. providing for the
construction Of electric-light plants In the
City Hall and at the Insane Asylum, have
been held up In the House Of Delegates
since August Is.
1t is estimated that the passage Of the
ordinances would save the city $1,000
year. which amount represents the annual
expense Of having the institutions lighted
by outside plants.
The Missouri-Edison Company now sup
plies the power for lighting the city insti
tutions. The ordinances received their first
reading in the House August Is, and were
referred to the Committee on Public Inn
provements. No report has been made by
the committee.
Last year the lighting bill at the City Hall
amounted to SIS, ,6SSs7. and the lighting at
the Insane Asylum cost $6,s6442 II is es-
timated that the two lighting plants will
cost the city $4,000. and that the lighting
expense then will not exceed $50 a year.

supply light for that institution. Female

young ladies employed in the Office Of the
Carleton Dry Goods Company gave a lunch
con to one of their number Miss Adah Da-

at Centenary NJ. E Church, South, on Oc

The luncheon took place at the Meridian
Restaurant on Eighth street. where the
young ladies have been accustomed to go
for their MONDAY meals On this occasion,
however, the business hustle OF dining
quickly, talking shop and then hurrying
back to their duties was relaxed. Each of
the persons present had watched the devel-

for a special celebration, and the appoint

its character.
In secluded nook of the dining-room a
large table was spread Vases filed
with pink carnations and great sprays of
goldenrod shore among shaded candelabra
above the white cloth. Clusters OF Ameri-
can beauties were laid at each plate. The
menu was attractive and drawn out to cover
an exceptionally long period. but not too
long for the happy conversation in which
the approaching wedding was the sole
theme
Each hostess-Miss Davidson was the
guest OF the party-commented upon some
