EIeetrlelty In South America.

In proportion to the very limited
population, wealth and general indus
trial development of South America
that grand division Of the earth has
been making remarkable progress in
the application Of electricity to light
ing cities and towns and operating
many kinds of power plants. There
are two great factors in bringing
about this free use of one of the most
interesting forces of applied science.
One is the high cost of coal, which
has been imported from England, as
a rule, and has been made very ex-
pensive by freight charges, especially
ip the interior of the continent. The
other is the uneven surface of most
of the country, with a great number
of deep valleys, mountain chains, and
swift streams from the size of great
rivers down to small torrents in the
Andes. Much of the water which falls
as rain seeks the sea in ways that
make the use of the power of streams
to generate electricity very easy.

DEAD BODY OF GIRL
FOUND IN VACANT LOT.
1S-fenr-0Id Telephone Operator
Was FOulIy Murdered.


Cincinnati. Nov. S.-Terribly cut and
crushed about the head, the dead body
of Alma Stenway, telephone opera
tor, is years old, was found to-day
in vacant lot near Spring Grove
Cemetery at Winston Place. a suburb.
While there are large footprints I'm
the trail, where the body was found
there is no clue to the supposed slayer
The girl left the telephone office at
Cummingsville last night and her body
was found in the lot near the ceme-
terry this morning. Her head and face
had been horribly crushed with a
club. No other injuries were found
on the body except the wounds on the
head.
Tonight Conductor Frank Limle told
the police that Alma Steinway got on
his car last night at Knowlton Corner
accompanied by a man. The pair rode
to Winton road and got off. He said
the man had frequently ridden with
Miss Steinway. Limle said he could
identify the man.
There is a striking similarity In the
death of Miss Steinway and that Of
Louise Mueller, whose mutilated body
was found a month ago about half a
mile from where the body of Miss
Steinway was found, and the chief of
detectives is of the opinion that the
same man committed both deeds.

New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. "A large
and eager crowd filled the New Haven
station as Judge Parker's train roll
ed in. There was cheering when the
presidential candidate was recognized
crossing the platform. accompanied by
Judge A. Heaton Robertson, the party
candidate for Governor. The party
took carriages and were driven slow

Music Hall, which was we'll filled be-
fore Mr.. Parker arrived. The gall

and applause was unstintedly given
by them as Mr.. Parker took his seat
on the platform.
Judge Parker devoted part of his
address to the students and then took
up THE Strenuous Life" He said:
1T has become a fashion during re-
cent years to exhort our young men
to lead what has been called the
strenuous life Not content with our
universal activity in industry, our work
in the conquest of a continent, the
conclusion seems to have been reached
that somehow we had overlooked some-
lAAlll6s we nave always AlcQ oil Cl~
ficient army of brave soldiers well
commanded. 1t has been so sufficient
for our needs that we have been able
to resist the onslaught of the savage,
to ward off foreign aggression, and
to settle our own internal troubles.
But this does not seem to satisfy.
We must be strenuous in adventure,
for personal glory, and even in looking
for a fight. 1t is apparently not enough
that we shall be active in every moral
and religious movement, in everything
that can promote education, the train
ing and the discipline of our youths
these, apparently do not assure real
progress. We are invited to turn aside
from these into those lines of activity
and adventure which smack of the CRU
sades, and of the time, when the moat-
ed castle was the only home in which
human beings could be fairly said to
have a right to live"
Judge Parker said college students
had always been strenuous, but they
had not become swashbuckers in
school or afterward.
Judge Parker concluded with a few
words addressed to first voters.
