NEW ENGINE FOR
THE CITY PLANT
Council Appropriates $4,000
Realizing Business De-
mands Such.

The city council appropriated
$4,000 last night, to install new
high power engine at the municipal
electric lighting plant. on the recon-
mendation of Controller f. G. McMa-
han, the Board of Works and Super
intendent Johnson of the light plant
The business of the plant has grown
SO materially in the last few years
that the engine to be replaced is no
longer adequate to pull the load. The
prospects are for greater business in
the future. The Mayor declared that
within ten years Richmond would
have a population Of 10000.
The old engine is of $50 kilowatts
capacity. so that it is unable to get the
required power from the dynamo. The
engine has a fly wheel of 21.OOO
pounds while the new one will have a
$4,000 pound wheel. Nimrod Johnson
told council that the engine to give
the requisite power must maintain a
speed of $50 revolutions to the minute,
no matter what load is thrown on or
taken off. II the engine fails to main
tain the speed the lights and power
fluctuate. giving very unsatisfactory
service
Voltage of 40 for lights and 21O for
power must be maintained at the plant
at all times, but with the old engine.
which is not strong enough to hold the
speed automatically, the power fluc-
tuates. The engineers have to keep
a sharp watch on the switchboard to
keep the engine at speed. The engine
has seen hard service for nine years
Mr.. Johnson asked that the appropria-
ton be made last night. as it takes
some time for engine delivery. He
wants to install it during June and
July as this is the time of the light.
est load. Johnson said that competi.
ton was very "stiff" here and the 9th.
err company would take every advan.
tage of misfortunes at the plant. For
this reason the matter has been kept
secret.

Cunning OF WIDOWS.

Per Over Twenty Centuries.
The abolition Of the horrid rite Of
widow burning In India was decreed

The dreadful practice was found
there BY the Macedonians under Alex
ander the Great 800 years before
Christ. and for moro than twenty one
long. weary centuries did 1t repeat its
almost inconcelvable torture and ago
ny upon the women Of India. The
sacrifice. while not actually forced on
the wife. was so strongly insisted on
BY public opinion that 1t amounted to
Q law, and It's victims were legion.
Scores Of widows were often burned
upon the funeral pile Of a single ra-
5ah. In Bengal. the head center Of
the monstrosity, thousands were sac
rifced annually, and the figure for all
India was appalling.
The millions Of widowed women
were completely at the mercy OF the
remorseless superstition Of the times
The ministers OF Brahmanism told
the widow that her sacrifice was nee
essary as q means OF ser own happi-
ness and that Of her husband In the
future state. and oftener than other
wise she consented to be burned along
with the dead body Of her husband.
Unless she did this she was covered

This is what Miss Ida Tarbell, the
biographer Of Standard Oil and author
Of life OF Lincoln" has to say about
woman's civic duty:
"The most valuable citizen in the
world Is the woman who stays ut
home and properly brings up family
Of children.
"a woman's first and most impor-
tant duty to the state is the same as
1t always has been since the begin
ming Of things-the rearing Of good
citizens.
"There is no achievement, literary.
artistic. what you will. which a woman
can perform that Is Of the same vital
significance to the nation as the rear
ing Of a family Of mentally. morally,
physically healthy boys and girls.
There is no profession containing such
real honor for a woman as that of
homemaking. And 1t is the great ma
tonal Job for the majority Of US. Let
US see that we stick to 1t. We can't
do anything better"
Miss Tarbelrs interviewer here in
terposed that 1t was not possible for
all women to marry. and she was
asked what civic duties were best per-
formed by the single ones.
Miss Tarbell said: "They still serve
the state In many ways. The highest
service that they can perform is to be-
come teachers. Women do excellent
work on boards Of hospitals. reforma
tories, prisons. asylums and schools.
Indeed. there should be a proportion
Of women on all such boards. though
there should be men also.
"As factory and milk and tenement
house inspectors women do splendid
service. There should be many more
women probation officers. All state
institutions taking care Of women and
children should be largely admins
tered by women"
