RAILRoADs no USE ELEcTRIc1TY.

F LECTRIFICATION Of railroads in the in
- terest of economical management has been
occupying the minds of engineers and an inter
esting paper was read by two Of them before the
American institute recently. Their conclusions
are that If the steam railroads of the country were
operate%by electricity, as is the New York, New
Haven and Hartford line, there would be saw
ing IN the cost of operation of at least S2soooo-
ooo- This is avast sum and worth considering
The cost of operating the railroads throughout
the country in 1906 was roughly estimated at
Sr,4ooooo,ooo. This would mean a saving OF 10
per cent. Some of the itemzed economies were
questioned by the electrical engineers, but allow
ing for them the margin OF saving by electricity
would still be large. And there would be the
added convenience and comfort for the travellers
such as freedom from smoke and cinders and the
ability to run more frequent trains.

POLICE PENSION
BILL SHELVED
City Council in No Hurry to
Take Action on the
Measure
CRITICISM FROM CITIZENS

Many persons interested in the police
pension bill are asking what has become
OF the measure. Sometime ago City Coun-
ell was asked by the police. with the in
dcrscmenf Of the Police Commission TO
approve the proposed act, and since then
the Council Committee to whom the mat
ter was referred have failed to take any
action on il.
Police Chief George Black. Captains
Evans and Kane and the various SER
geants on the force, have attended meet
ings Of Council for several weeks with
the hope that the matter would be taken
up. but each week they were disappoint-
ed 1t is a subject, in the opinion Of many,
that should be taken up at once, so that
action can be taken on the measure by the
General Assembly now in session, before
that body adiourns. Yet Council appears
10 take its time and If something is not
done soon tho Legislature will have no
opportunity to pass on the matter.
Paltry Sum Asked For.
SO little is asked by the police, THAT the
delayed action by City Council is unwar-
ranted. only the paltry sum Of about 5000
a year is asked in order TO start nucleus
for the pension fund, and the worthy
cause for which 1t is Intended should has
ten action instead Of delaying it.
The work of the police is dangerous, and
a member Of the force at any time is
liable to permanent injury while in dis
charge Of his duties. Yet If crippled for
life, he must resign his position, and not
receive the benefits to which he is justly
entitled.
Provisions Of the Measure.
The proposed measure was prepared
with care and provides for every emcrg-
oncy and only a member of the police
force, who by age, or by injury incurred
while on duty, IS forced to retire. will be
entitled to pension. The police them
selves. are willing to give up one per cent.
OF their earnings. and the little that is
asked from the city is merely a drop in
the bucket, TO what viii be needed %
maintain a fund to insure the payment Of
necessary pensions.
Other cities provide for their guardians
OF the peace, and why Wilmington with
its 10000 population. should not do so, is a
Question that is being asked by many. Let
all those interested in the movement take
an active part and appeal to their repre-
sentatives IN Council, to endorse the
measure and they viii earn the everlast-
ing gratitude Of the police.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only m way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an In.
famed condition of the mucous lining
OF the eustachian tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it Is entirely closed. deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor-
ed to Its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
Of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition Of
the c surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

ment:
False Western Statements.
my attention has been called to ar
ticles in several of the western papers
to the effect that the department of the
interior will not prosecute any illegal
fencers this year. 1t would be unfor!
tunate that such an idea should get
abroad among the western people, be.

ed upon it, they might get into serious
trouble.

terror department will be especially
occupied during this summer with the

to law. For that reason few of them
can be detailed to search specifically
for illegal fences.
Prompt Action to Be Taken.

illegal fences are discovered in the
