fitted a machine which would control
power from q distance.
DR.. Millner will also show the attraction
and repulsion which various metals have
fer the alternating current, and he will
show a complete motor running without
the aid OF wires to transmit the control.
The telegraphone is a new invention for
use in railrSading which may ultimately
be used as a means OF recording speech.
One of these machines could be placed In
connection with a telephone on which
train orders are sent and the telephone

would be kept to settle any dispute in case
OF accident.
Direct current is a bad acting agent to
have to use where other metals are used,
as it is a leaky electricity and will eat
water pipes.
MOhIer's Interest.
The management of the electrical show
waited upon A. L. Mohler, vice president
and general manager of the Union Pacific,
and asked that DR.. Millner be sent to the
show 10 give the visitors an idea Of the
progress which is being made in the use
Of electricity in railroading. Mr.. Mohler
readily acceeded to the request and conse-
quently DR.. Millner will be at the show
with exhibits which will at once be inter
estinE to the man with the most expert
knowledge OF electricity and also the nov
ice. DR., Millner says he wAl keep lots of
his centrivGnces in action in the hope
that SEINE student in electricity may gain
some idea which he will eventually work
cut fer the benefit Of humanity. DR.. Mill
ner's booth will be next to the booth show
ing automatic block signals Of the Union
Pacific in operation.
Travellers on railroad trains little realize
the amount Of work done by electricity in
both the construction Of the splendid pal
aces on wheels on which they ride and also
in the operation of the trains. All the
bright parts on and in the car are polished
and plated by electricity and all the trim

wonderful agent, electricity. Plating merely

cottage is owned by its occupant. Such
owners prefer electric light because of the
saving in maintenance of wall decorations
and ceilings. Several large property hold
ers specify in their rental leases that cleo
tricity shall be used exclusively for light
ing by the tenants. This policy was
adopted without action on the part Of the
central station company. The average
monthly bill for residence electric lighting
in Detroit is s2.32.
Average Cost.
Chicago has about $1,000 householders Iiv-
ing in small houses or apartments whe are
customers of the electric lighting company.
In an ordinary seven-roem apartment per-
haps twenty lamps will be installed, al
though the number varies to suit individ-
ual requirements. Formerly a minimum
monthly payment OF 81 was required, but
this is no longer asked, and many bills
are made out for less than that sum.
But, taking the general run, the monthly
cost OF electric light in the small homes
of Chicago may be said to range between
;1,15 and $3.50 net. There has been a great
increase in this class Of business within
the last few years, stimulated by steadily
decreasing rates for electricity.
vi COURSE tnc Price OF electricity varies
widely in different localities, affected by
local conditions. Some arrangements are
less anxious for residence business than
others. Some, using the white ceal' Of
waterpower, are able to sell electrical en-
ersy more cheaply than others whe have
to burn coal hauled perhaps a l0nE dis
lance. The prevailing rate Of interest on
money, cost Of labor and several ether
munity served. whether Industrial ar ather-
wise, all have their influence on the COM
mercial price OF electricity to small resi-
dence users. But II Is believed that the
facts and figures given in the dispsssionate
survey Of the situation made in this article
show that in most places the man wh0 can
afford to pay from 70 cents to S2.5a a
month for the lighting of his home can
have the use of electricity. with its great
advantages of healthfulness. cleanliness,
cheerfulness and convenience. - William

THOMAS LOWRY
PASSES AWAY
Railroad and Street Railway
Magnate Succumbs to
white Plague
HELP BUILD UP NORTHWEST

Minneapolis, Feb. 6.-Death claim
ed Thomas Lowry, president of the
500 Line railway and of he Twin
City Rapid Transit company; vice
president of the Farmers and Me-
chanics' Savings bank, prominent in
politics, philanthropy and finance in
the Northwest for the last forty
years, at his home on Lowry Hill, at
$50 o'clock yesterday morning.
Pulmonary consumption OF four
years standing was the cause of Mr.,
Lowry's death. The end came after
a sinking spell of f~orty-eight hours
duration and brought him release
from a final illness which had kept
him in his bed, save for a few scat
tered days, since June l.
Family at Bedside.
Mrs. Lowry, his son, Horace Lowry
Of Minneapolis, and his daughter,
Mrs. Gustav Schwyzer of Minneapo-
lis, were with the dying man at the
end. DR.. Gustav Schwyzer, Mr.. Low
rvs son-in-law, was his principal
physician. Mrs. Percy Haggerman
of Colorado Springs, Mr.. Lowry's
other daughter. has been summoned.
Three years ago the white plague
fastened its clutches upon Mr.. Low
ry. Complications Of liver and stom-
ach troubles set in last fall, and it
was impossible to stay their destruc-
tive effects upon Mr.. Lowry's already
enfeebled system.
AS his illness progressed he was
the victim of three distinct strokes of
paralysis. He was critically i'll last
August, but rallied, and until a few
days ago was not thought to be in i'm
mediate danger.
Born on a Farm.
Thomas Lowry was born on a farm
in Logan county, Illinois, Feb. 81,
1843. He was admitted to the bar in
1867 and came to the Twin Cities the
same year. For seventeen years he
practiced successfully at the Henne-
pin county bar. In 1884 he abandon
ed the law to care for his real estate
holdings. He took up the work OF
recognizing the street railways of
the Twin Cities. which were in finan-
cial straits, and built up the Twin
City Rapid Transit company. He was
early identified with the 500 railroad,
was one Of the most enthusiastic of
those advocating the building of the
line. and became its president, a post
he retained until his death.
