Editor Palladium:

In the proposal Of Mr.. Witherby to
the City of Richmond the proposition
commences with the statement that
he assumes that the electric light
business from the citys standpoint is
simply business proposition and
not one of sentiment. The idea of
treating this affair as a cold blooded
business proposition is a subject
worthy of the attention of all citizens
who are interested in wise and eco
nomical government and a little time
and attention given to this subject
will clearly show, that as far as the
city of Richmond is concerned, there
has never been time in her history
when electric lighting has been avail
able to the citizens, and particularly
to that large class in this community,
such as mechanics, skilled workers
and otherwise, as it is today, and as
our friend Mr.. Witherby says. 1T is
the cheapest of any city in Indiana"
| want to ask the citizens of Rich
mond If there is not some sentiment
about holding on to such a proud
condition of affairs as that. l want to
ask the men who toll in the factor
les If this city and the mechanics
and all others whose labors and skill
have contributed their proper share
to developing this beautiful city to
the exalted position it holds today, if
this electric lighting system which
has enabled all our people, who cared
to avail of it, to be served at even as
low price as 90 cents per month
is devoid of sentiment.
Yes, Mr.. Witherby, there is more
sentiment in this question among the
people of Richmond than you even
dreamed of and the hurry up, slap
stick quick action that occurred in
the council chamber, at the close of
the regular session on this famous
night of April 2, at time when the
members were naturally tired and
sleepy and which elected your ex-
pressed satisfaction will soon fade
away from your mind like a beautiful
dream.
Citizens did you note how this
deal was not mentioned during the
regular session of council. Oh, no, the
time to spring such thing as this
The Richmond palladium. (Richmond, Ind.) 1906-1907, 1906-04-11

is when the council has concluded all
other business, and having spent sew
eral hours in the council chamber,
and the hour is quite late, many of
the members are tired and sleepy,
and wish to go home. 1t was right at
the time with the proposition hot off
the real that the committee was de-
veIoped to Investigate the advisable
ity of selling the plant" They were
to make this report to a special meet
ing of the city council, a large num-
Der of whom go out of Office some
time the latter part of this month.
Right at this point I wish to call the
attention of the people to the fact
that when the appointment of COM
mittee was in progress in the Com
mercfal Club it was decided on sug-
gestion of Mr.. Reeves that the club
committee act in it's findings entirely
separate and apart from the others,
and the Commercial Club are entitled
to credit for that.
Here is another one, they were to
pay for this 100000 property the cost
of construction as shown on the city
books which will eventually appear
about the sum of S25O,000. AS some
thing like $4,000 has been taken
from the earnings of the plant and
used for new extensions and work of
that kind. They also agreed to pay
cash or assume the bonded debt. They
could not assume the bonded debt or
relieve the city of Richmond of 1T in
any shape or manner SO that brings
us up to the point. The city would
have to pay the interest on the bonds
for the 16 years or so they have to
run, but the city cannot loan its
funds, hence an agreeable arrange
ment for Mr.. Witherby, no doubt,
would be for the city to keep the
bonds and he would pay the interest
at per cent which would be more
excellent business for Witherby. In
the closing paragraph of the Wither-
by proposition he expressed his de-
sire that his entire offer be thorough
ly canvassed and in case he may be
uneasy about this I will take this
means of advising him that he and
his merry crew will get all the dis
cussion desired and open free can
vassing on this question.

many articles which because of their

intense interest. Not only vases con-
tanning food, but furniture, a chariot,

fected.
The Egyptians were adopts in the
sculpture of animals. Many of the
gods and c0ddesses were represented
with human bodies, but with heads of
the animals sacred to them, and thus
the sculptors became especially prof
cient in modelling such forms. One Of
the chairs Of this tomb, which looks al
most as II 1t might have been made in
the tirne of Louis XVI, has gazelles
under the arms of ach side which In
their execution are remarkably reals
tic. The back contains sculptured fig
ures of the god Bes standing between
two figures of the goddess Taurt. who
Is represented with the head of an ami
NAL. The chair is supported by claw
footed legs, which thus are seen to an
tedate by several thousand years the
similar characteristics of so called an
tique furniture now popular.
A chair which might be said to be in
the empire style has legs modelled Oh
those Of the OK. The carved work is
gilded with Nubian gold, and the back
is sculptured with scene representing
Queen TITS daughter Set-Ammon on
a throne. One chair had a cushion
stuffed with goose feathers. perhaps a
thoughtful provision by Queen Til for
the comfort of her mother in the other
world. Evidently this princely pair
were fond Of sweets, for among the
beautiful alabaster jars containing flu
neral offerings of food was found q
pitcher filled with honey. still in fluid
state, to which the wasps came buzZing

could readily be distinguished. All the
relics are to- be preserved at Cairo.

DON'T REMOVE THE BARRIER.

Simply because a taxpayer OF
Richmond was heart and soul against
the establishment OF the light plant
when council first considered the
question of municipal lighting, 1t does
not follow that he should be heart
and soul against the plant at this
time; that he should favor the plan
Matched by Eastern capitalists to rid
the city of the very thing that has
made cheap lighting possible.
1t may be said in fairness to all con-
cerned that some of the men now so
ardent in their opposition to the pro-
posed sale were also opposed to the
establishment of the plant originally.
This does not mean that they have
become converted to the municipal
ownership theory necessarily out 1t
does mean that they are far-sighted
enough to think they see that Rich
mond will blunder seriously if it lets
go of the plant.
The investigation now under way
by a joint committee of council and
the Commercial Club may develop
that the plant has not been conducted
at profit. 1t may even show that
there has in reality been a loss. But
the chances are that the savings re-
sulting from cheap light will more
than balance the losses in conducting
the plant. 1t is true that no sane bus
mess man would continue his busi-
ness at loss, but 1t should be the
case also that a municipality would
willingly sacrifice something to bene-
fit its people. when such benefit would
actually mean a saving of money.
Whenever the Richmond municipal
lighting plant passes into the hands
of great syndicate of capitalists not
one of whom has any interest in the
people of the city other than to sepa-
rate them from their money, then
look out.
Once remove the barrier which the
city plant has been to the private cor.
poration's interests, and it can never
be replaced. Low rates may prevail
for time but the program at the
very outset will be to find way by
which the rate may go higher. And a
corporation that is nursing an abso.
lutte monopoly will find a way. Flaws
have been picked in apparently water
tight franchises and through these
flaws the corporations find an excuse
to do about as they please The Light,
Heat & Power Company is kneeling
to the city now. Kill the goose that
laid the golden egg" and then Rich
mond will do the kneeling.

a RICH find was maze III tue iaiid
"a of the pharaohs recently
"A which throws light on the Gus
<<A - toms of the Egyptians OF
very early period and reveals the fact
that the people of that ancient era pos
sessed many things strangely resem-
bling those of modern times. In the
course of the excavations in the sacred
valley Of the kings tomb was found
which proved to have curious his
tory From the hieroglyphics on the
mummy cases the archaeologists made
out that the burial place was that or
"Ioua, hereditary prince. chief friend
among the friends of the sovereign
Near his mummy was that or his wlfe
Tioua. The tomb was in state OF
much confusion. Mummy cases were
broken open, coffin covers were left
standing against the wall and the
apartment was filed with vases, furni-
ture and adornments scattered about
in q haphazard way. 1t was the tomb
of the father and mother OF TIL,
queen of the eighteenth dynasty, about
100 B. c., whose changing Of the ma
tional religion caused uproar and vio-
lence in those faraway days. 1t is con-
jectured that she wished for her father
and mother a royal burial. but as the
times were not suspicious placed their
mummies In this tomb temporarily,
with the funeral offerings, until the de-
sired honors could be duly paid.
Evidently the period of quiet did not
arrive, and the mummies were left
where they were placed. Perhaps
thousand years passed away, and then
the tomb was entered by robber, who
stole jewelry and other things which
seemed to him of value. He scattered
many things about in his wanton disre-
gard of the sacredness of the place but
nevertheless left the tomb in posses
sion of the very articles most valua BILE
to present day students Of that distant
time. 1t was not opened again until
the archaeologists removed the debris
from it a few weeks ago, and thus but
for a single rude intrusion 1t has lain
undisturbed for almost 1900 years.
Owing to the custom of those early
days of placing in the tombs Of the
rich and great the things they were
supposed to need In the other world, or

even effigies of servants to minister to
them, this burial place was filed with

PECULIAR MEANS OF DEFENSE
Small Daggers of Light Sent Out by
the Centipede.

Among the peculiar powers OF AMI
mails there are none harder to explain
than the power of being self-luminous.
1t is sometimes termed phosphores-
cence, but it is not now supposed to
depend upon phosphorus in the AMI.
NAL. A correspondent Of Nature de-
scribes her experience with lumi-
nous centipede which shows the evil
dent purpose OF the luminous sub
stance as a means of defense. Atten-
ton was first attracted by light or
brilliant bluish-green that moved for
ward over the gravel, leaving behind
a trail of light, which, gradually sep
arating, became a scattered mass or
brilliant points. The scattered points
proved to be red ants, which were pur-
suing the centipede. II had discharged
this luminous liquid over them. The
centipede was picked up and put in
a tumbler where IL flashed out
mass of light. When the hand was
placed over the tumbler to prevent
the escape of the captive, strange
prickly sensation was felt as from a
slight charge of electricity. The CEN
tipede would writhe the light out of its
body in blue-green flashes until 1t had
exhausted its luminosity and ceased
to shine. Defense seems certainly to
be one of the uses of this secretion.
