WINDMILL ELECTRICITY.
A Scheme to Have Them on Western
Farms.

From the Cleveland Leader.
Like the trolley lines which run far out
into rural districts and bring many small
great cities; like the rural free delivery OF
mail, with its new facilities for the enjoy
ment of post Office service for getting the
news Of the world. ard for, traffic of the
kind which used to be very fnconvensent for
farmers, the windmill promises much more
than it has already given the agricultural
districts of the United StatesI In this coun
try and in Europe recent experiments In
the use of wind power for generating eiec-
tricity for lighting houses and barns and
operating farm machinery are full of In
terest and suggest great advances in the
same direction within the next few wears.
In parts of the west, pWhere irrigation is
often needed to supplement- the uncertain
and sometimes INADEQUATE rainfall, big
windmills are used for pumping water from
wells into irrigating bitches in the driest
months and the same mills generate power
enough for electric motors, Ito light build
ings and to cut feed and do other work or
like nature.
To get more power is only question OF
more windmills. To ipsure an adequate
supply of electricity for lighting purposes
and for operating farm machinery is a mat
ter of storage batteries. So far these ex-
periments are not for poor men to under
take, but the rich are making tests which
promise ultimately to make the application
of wind-generated electric power to the
wants of American rural life one of the
most important additions to the pleasures
and comforts of the farm.

TOOK CARBOLIC ACID.
Randolph McGill, Drug Clerk, Com
mits Suicide Today.

Randolph McGill, Drug Clerk, Com
mits Suicide Today.
Randolph McGill, about twenty-three
years of age, committed suicide by swal-
lowing an ounce of carbolic acid at noon
today at lib N street northwest, where he
lived with his wife. He was a drug clerk.
employed in the wholesale establishment of
Burch & KEEPS. A fit Of dependency
probably brought on by financial difficulties,
is believed to have been the cause for the
rash act.
McGfll was the son of DR.. Samuel Nc
Gill of Schuyler, Va, and belonged to an
old family of the state. He is survived.
besides his wife, formerly Miss Louise Tai
bert, by four brothers and one sister, who
reside in Virginia.
McGill took an ounce bottle of carbol:c
acid home with him last evening, explain
ing to his wife that it was mouth wash
He appeared in the best of spirits and tie
act he committed today was entirely un-
turned from work for slunch about noon.
and told his wife he was going to wash his
mouth. 1t was then that he swallowed the
deadly liquid. Mrs. McGill, who was in she
next room, detected the odor Immediately
and ran to him.
Although several. persons. worked over
him for ten or fifteen minutes he never
spoke again. The acid was taken at y
o'clock and at 1915 he was dead.
The authorities were notified at once and
the coroner and several police officers call
ed, the former pronouncing the verdict Of
suicide by carbolic acid.

BEAR REsUsCITATED.

From the New York Tribune
First aid to the drowning was the prob

BY black bear. He is worth several hun
dred dollars and incidentally ne is a great
pet with his trainer. Hence, when he was
pulled from the lagoon Yesterday looking
dng no signs of life, a great wall went up
from the animal Quarters.
Bumbo is the bears name. He suddenly
took notion to bolt from his keeper at
the close of his act. He was crossing the
plank bridge leading to his quarters at the
time. The railing was not intended to
stand the impact of bear. and when
Bumbo struck it there was a crash, a dis
NAL grunt and then mighty splash The
next minute the luckless Bumbo swept,
struggling furiously, under the planking by
the current.
Signor Spessardi, the trainer. and his
wife rushed frantically around to the other
end of the covered runway. where the la
COON empties in Coney Island creek. After
about ten minutes Bumbo emerged. A
large crowd of spectators had gathered
meanwhile. When Bumbo was brought
ashore the manager looked his huge car
cass over and gave orders for funeral
Spessardi would not listen to him. He ran
for one Of the barrels lying near. and with
the aid of his wife lay his cumbersome pet
over it head down. For half an hour they
rolled Bumbo on the barrel. There were
no visible results.
Spessardi then thought of the hospital
He sent hurry call for an ambulance.
When the surgeon arrived he was indig-
nant, but the tears of Spessardi and his
wife prevailed and he prescribed an injec-
tion of brandy. After this treatment and
more rolling Bumbo suddenly opened his
eyes. groaned and dropped Off the barrel
The ambulance surgeon said Bumbo must
be put in a warm room Immediately or he
would die from exposure. Bumbo was
placed in wagon and taken to the steam
room at a bathing pavilion and was kept
there until evening. At length he was de-
clared ready to return to his quarters, and
in much intoxicated condition he was re-
ceived there by the joyful Spessardi

PARKER IN NEW YORK.
Details for Reception to Judge About
Completed.

NEW YORK September 2S-Nearly all
of the details for the public reception to be
given for Judge Parker at the Manhattan
Club have been completed. The reception,
unless some change is made, will be held
on next Wednesday night. Invitations will
be extended to the democratic national
committee, all members of the Parker Con-
stitution Club and a number of other large
democratic organizations, including Tam
many Hall. 1t is likely that Justice D..
Cady Herrick and Representative Francis
Burton Harrison, candidates for governor
and lieutenant governor, respectively, will
attend. Judge Parker does not intend to
speak at the reception. and, in fact, no
speeches of any kind will be made, accord
ing to the present program.
Judge Parker saw many visitors today.
They included David B. HILL Delaney
Nicoll, vice chairman of the national COM
mittee; Don Farnsworth of Illinois, BenJa-
min Ide Wheeler. president of the Univer-
sity of California. and several OF the demo-
cratic managers.
The headquarters of Judge Parker when
ever he visits New York will be made here
after at the Hotel Seville. He has reserved
his present apartment on the eighth moor,
and expects to visit New York frequently.
This does not mean, however" said one
of his managers today. that the candi-
date will visit this city every week. He
has no intention now or coming, except
when he feels that his presence will beneft
the campaign"
In relation to plan to divide the political
campaign territory under various RESPONSE
BILE heads, it was stated today that Ma
ticnal Chairman Taggart will not open per-
manent headquarters in the west. Mr.
Taggart expects to visit Indiana, Illinois
and Wisconsin at frequent intervals. but
that will not take him away from the ac-
tive management of the national cam
paign.
While Judge Parker was at luncheon
Charles F. Murphy leader of Tammany
Hall, was shown to his room, and they
held long conference.

ROYAL SPORT OF THE MALAYs.
Game is to Toboggan Down a Water
fall Into q Pool Below.
From the Malaga Times.

FROM the Malaya Times.
One of the items on the program Of the
governors visit to the federated Malay
states is that of "meng-gelunchor," or q
water sliding game This is a tobogganlng
game which is peculiar to Malays of Perak
and is known to be of ancient origin. The
game is arranged as follows:
A party of rajahs and chiefs having de-
cided to indulge in this form of amuse-
ment, warn their followers of their inten-
tons. AS it is game which abounds with
much merriment and fun, several hundreds
of men, women and children soon busy
themselves in making preparations for the
picnic, which is usually part of the pro-
gram A spur of hills from where leaps
a waterfall and at the base of which is
a pool is then selected. On the day APP
pointed, all instructed overnight wend
their way toward the foot of the hills.
After climbing up the hills until the pleas
ure seekers reach great rock on which
they can accommodate themselves COM
fortably, a halt is made. Fires are then
made and the business of cooking started
by the women folk.
The game of meng-gelunchor then COM
mences. 1t is to slide, and the game is to
pool below. Little boys first do the sliding.
They go to the top of the fall, sit down
on one of the cascades with feet straight
out in front of them and with a hand on
either side to support themselves they glide
down the hundred odd feet of height to the
valley below. They follow each other in
cessantly those behind coming on the top

men and lastly the women then Join the
sliders and the frolicsome game soon be-
comes as fast and excitable as on switch
back railway. Occasionally slider slips,
himself and loses his balance. The fun
then commences. The frantic attempts
made by the awkward slider to grasp hold
Of something, his tumbing and humping
as he descends, and final plunge into the
pool Is sight which will provoke laughter
from the gravest of judges.
The exercise is continued till about
20 clock in the afternoon. by which time
every one is tired and hungry crowd
does justice to the meal. After an hour
spent in gossip and smoking, the picnic is
at an end and the pleasure seekers return
to their homes
The novelty and charm of the exercise is
that there are so few casualties in the
game. Beyond few scratches and bruises
the sliders do seldom get the least hurt.
Most of the sliders are, of course. trained
men and used to the game. Sometimes
the tough flower-sheaths of the Pinang and
Nibong palms, called by the natives
''Upeh," are used to help them in the slid
ing but they are generally done away
with physical pain being a thing that ex-
cites little or no sympathy from most
Malays In fact it is the marvellous pluck
and endurance of the tobogganists that
lend an interest to the game OF meng-
gelunchor.

HOT SPRINGS RESERVATION.
Annual Report of Superintendent isele
Made Public.

mace fuDuc.
The annual report of the superintendent
of the Hot Springs reservation for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1904, was made public
by the Secretary of the Interior today.
Superintendent Martin A. Eisele states that
the past year has been the most successful
in results accomplished than any previous
given period in the history of the reserva-
ton.
The improvements made during the year
required the employment of much manual
labor and expenditure of money, which has
resulted in increased equipment and facili-
ties The extension of the system of noun
tain roads, the addition of number of new
walks and footpaths and repairs to others,
the construction of a series Of storage res
ervoirs for hot water, the building of the
new free bath house, besides the minor re-
pairs and improvements taken in connec-
ton with the general duties of supervision
vided means for the betterment of the SER
vice and general conditions. The general
reputation of the curative value of these
waters, taken in connection with the favor
able climatic conditions and the general
equipment of the place for furnishing ac-
commodations for visitors, with it's recrea-
tive features, all conduce to the growing
popularity of this resort.
In addition to the regular features of the
report, statistical tables, etc, Superintend-
ent Esele has written brief historical
sketch of the famous resort over which he
presides which contains all the facts rela-
tive to the discovery origin and the estab-
lishment of the governments ownership of
the place.

IN CAPT. HEMPH1LL's POSSESSION
The Punch Bowl Presented to the Kear-
sarge by the Kaiser.

Unofficially the attention Of the Navy
Department has been called to the fact that
the magnificent punch bowl presented to
the battle ship Kearsarge by Emperor Will
liam when the battle ship visited KEEL last
year has been removed from the ship and
is now in the possession Of Capt. j. N.
Hemphill, who commanded the Kearsarge
at that time, and who is now on duty at
the navy yard, New York. 1t is not ex-
pected that official action will be neces-
sary. but the department officials are OF the
opinion that the punch bowl belongs to the
Kearsarge Had it been presented to Cap
tain Hemphill personally he would not
have been allowed to accept it without the
sanction Of Congress. 1t is not doubted
that when the departments views have be-
come known the punch bowl will be re-
stored to the ship.
