CITY PLUNGED IN DARKNESS
Ere Destroys Racine Electric Light
and Power Plant With $4,000
Loss-Makes Factories Idle.

Racine.-Fire which completely
destroyed the power house of the Mil
waukee Light, Heat and Traction
company here, entaiIing a loss of over
$4,000, plunged the entire city into
total darkness, brought street car
and interurban traffic to a complete
standstill and will result in the clos
ing down of a number of factories in
the city which depend on electricity
for motive power.
The blaze started in the roof of
the power house directly over a new
switchboard, and in two minutes haa
gained such Roadway that firemen
were forced to confine Uneir efforts
to saving adjoining buildings. For a
time it seemed as If the big factory
of the Miller Shoe company, the Ra-
cine theater and the car barns Would
also 60.
The power house is situated in the
heart of town, within a block of the
city hall. After a stubborn battle the
department managed to prevent the
flames from spreading, but were I'M
able to save any of the equipment at
the power house.
1t may be weeks before the system
will be in running condition, and I'M
less temporary lighting systems can
be installed, business houses, the
aters and residences with electric
connections will be forced to fall back
upon lamps and candles.
1t is estimated that nearly / 900
wOTkmen will be thrown out of EN-.
ployment temporarily.

der. By his side sat the secretary OF
state, who was, ex-ohcio, a member Of
the college, although he had no vote.
Mr. Greeley looked around from one to
another of the presidential electors.
Gentlemen of the electoral college"
he began, I'VE have met today to per-
form a duty of vital consequence to
this republic The fate of the nation
has depended upon the election by yir-
tue of which We are here. Our duty
is to register officially the will of the
people Of this state; which is, that
Abraham Lincoln be declared presi-
dent-elect and Andrew Johnson vice
president-elect"
Then Mr. Greeley looked furtively
at the door, and seeing no sign Of
coming commotion there, continued
his speech. Those who heard it de
clared that it was the most eloquent
address they ever heard Greeley
make It's patriotic sentiment was ex-
pressed in the magnificent diction of
which Greeley was the master. He
invoked the Christian sentiment of
the nation for the cause of Lincoln
and the preservation of the nation.
He spoke as though inspired. Yet at

5ibulous Presidential Elector Drove
Him to Making Most Eloquent Ad-
dress and Then TO Outburst
of Indignation.

Until he was a candidate for presi-
dent, Horace Greeley had been plac-
ed in nomination for only two polit-
zeal Offices, Notwithstanding his long
career as one Of the leaders of the
Wing, and afterwards Of the Repub-
lican party. He was once elected to
congress, to I'LL a vacancy, and he was
elected member Of the electoral col
lege from New York state IN 1854
When the New York state electors
met at Albany on the day fixed by
statute in order to perform their con-
stitutfonal duty, Greeley was in a very
unhappy state of mind At little
caucus or preliminary gathering the
evening before, the electors had unani-
mously chosen him their president. An
hour or two before the meeting at
noon the next day, a fellow elector
called upon Mr.. Greeley at his room
and said to him:
What are you going to do? So
and-so" -mentioning the name of an
elector-'went out with a few friends
last evening, and he forgot himself.
He acquired great thirst and he was
put TO bed just about daylight this
morning. We have now got him up,
and made him drink saltwater, and
are having him shampooed But
doubt if he is able to be present at
the meeting of the college"
It's damned disgrace piped Gree
ley in his shrillest notes. How long
do you suppose it will be before you
can get him into condition, at least to
be present and counted"
We'll, well do our best to have him
there by 1 o'clock"
Il will organize the meet at noon
replied Greeley, and then 1 will talk
against time. Our party cannot afford
to elect proxy to fill the college al
this time. We've got to have the man
present, although we have the right to
fill a vacancy"
At twelve o'clock Horace Greeley
sat at the head of the table of the
state electoral college, minus one

eloquent sentences, he paused, ana,

He turned to resume his address,
when he heard a commotion at the
door. Again he bent and whispered
to the secretary of state:
They are bringing in that scoundrel
of a drunkard, and if he can only sit
up in his chair long enough, Wen hur-
~ this thing through"
The unfortunate elector. who had
erred In judgment rather than in dis
position, with very sad and heavy
eyes was led to his seat. He was
present; that was enough. The cleo.
tors Of the state of New York speedily
declared their vote. And then they
had heard wonderfully beautiful
speech from Horace Greeley. Nor
did any of them, except the secretary
of state, know why Greeley had spen:
nearly an hour IN thus addressing
them; or how he had descended in an
instant from patriotic sublimity to In
dignant profanity.

Hanna's Lesson in Economy

all l hear is true, then, l am the only
hard who is not making money. In
fact, l am poorer than l was when l
began my study of our tariff system.
I have hard work to make both ends
meet l wish you would explain to
me, Mark, what the trouble is-why,
l, who they say, has made money,
for everybody else, can't make any
for myself"
II can tell you, Governor" replied
Hanna, "and l can show you what the
trouble is from a little incident that
has happened right here in this car.
l observed that you paid the conduc-
tor a nickel for your fare. Did you
notice that l paid him with a ticket?
I suppose you pay nickel every time
you ride on the trolley; but I buy six
tickets for quarter, and in that way
save twenty per cent. The trouble
with you about money making, Gov
ernor, is that you have never learned
how to save twenty per cent for your

thoughtfully into space. Then he
turned to his companion.
why, 1 never thought of that" he
said, simply. You have undoubtedly
given me the real explanation. l shall
try hereafter to practice your political
economy, since it will enable me to
save twenty per cent"
But not for long was the Trainer of
the Dingley tariff act able to put into
practice the lesson in economy taught
him by Uncle Mark Hanna, his death
occurring shortly thereafter, In 1899.

Those Terrible Mosquitoes.

Here is a problem all the way from
a little town called louisville, in
Louisiana, which correspondent
thinks might catch some readers nap
ping. He says:
~'The following item recently ap-
peared in a report Of conditions in
this state:
1.-The farmers in Louisiana say they
have never seen the mosquito pest so
bad as it is this season, and in many
of the northwestern parishes they are
killing cattle. Prof. Budwinkle says
that there is always about the same
crop of mosquitoes to the acre in that
section and that the number does not
vary more than 10 per cent in any
year
Now" says our correspondent,
"suppQse that the increase in mosqui-
toes was even as high as % per cent.
what would be the probable increase
in the per cent. of cattle killed ?"-
