AVERAGE CANDLE POWER
Weekly Report Made by Inspector O
Gas and Meters.

The special weekly report from the Of
flee of the United States inspector Of gas
and meters, received by the Commission
ers today, shows that the daily average
candle power of the gas supplied by the
Washington Gas Light Company during the
seven days ending July 10 was 22S5 stand
ard candles, against % CT standard can
dies for the corresponding week in June.
Bernard Waters, the assistant inspector
who submits the report, says this is a loss
in the illuminating quality of the gas of
2.S2 standard candles in each cubic feet
of gas consumed at the present rate of %
candle gas. The gas supplied by the
Georgetown company during the same
period as above equaled 23.O7 standard can
dies, as against 27.62 candles in June, a
loss of 4.56 candles.

Tax on Telegraph Poles and Wires.

Two cases involving the construction of
the Pennsylvania state law authorizing
municipalities to tax telegraph companies
whose lines enter their limits have been
docketed in the United States Supreme
Court. The cases raise the question of the
validity of the law applied to boroughs
the two boroughs affected being those Of
Taylor and New Hope. These corporations
undertook to impose license fee upon the
poles and wires of the Postal Telegraph
Company, and this effort was resisted on
the ground that the proceeding was con-
trary to the interstate commerce law. The
decision In the state courts in both cases
was favorable to the states contention
and the telegraph company brings the uues-
ton to the Supreme Court on a writ. Of
error.

PLACE GOES BEGGING.
Commissioners Seeking Cook for the
Washington ASYLUM.

Washington Asylum.
A good District job has been going beg
ging for some time and the Commissioners
are at loss to understand the absence of
applications Usually there are scores of
applicants for District berths, but this
time there seems to be no one to take the
place. although it is regarded as quite a
desirable one.
In short. the Commissioners are very
anxious to secure cook for the Washing
ton Asylum. which combines the almshouse
and workhouse. The place pays $50 a
month. and in addition to this the cook is
supplied with lodgings and board. So far
there has been but one applicant for the
place. and he could not accept because ac-
commodations could not be furnished at the
asylum for his family. The cooking is
plain, for the fare is simple rule, al
though pies are occasionally on the menu
card The Commissioners think $50 a
month combined with board and lodging
a very remunerative place for a single
man.
The institutions come under the head Of
the board of charities. and the secretary,
Mr. George Wilson, at the District build
ing, is ready to Hospitality welcome man
with good references who can cook.
