unity of movement be preserved both
In Ireland and America. I have per

DENVER'S ELECTRIC LIGHTS
They Olvo Complete Satisfaction to
Everyone.
Denver News.
The now electric light company has
already established Itself in Its now
quarters at No. 300.0urtls street. The
company was organized some sixty
days ago and are now pushing the en
terprise with an activity which shows
their confidence in the syotcm. List
night the oflico was lighted up with
thirty of the Eilaon incandescent
burners , and large numbers of oltl-
eans called to sea the effect of the
light. The visitors were as pleased ns
the managers were elated.
THE LIGHT IS ELEGANT.
It makes one think of the fabled soft
ness shod from flimos of perfumed oils
In alabaster lamps. The student's
lamp Is the nearest approach to it , but
lacks Its strength. The present plant
has a capacity of 1DO lights , and the
engine affords power for double that
number , The company proposes to
Introduce the lamps In any part of the
city when they may bo desired for
lighting public building , private resi
dences , rooms or cfiiaes. The officers
are S. T Armstrong , general superin
tendent ; Col , Wm. Moore , vice presi
dent ; W. D Todd , treasurer ; Wm. M.
Cox , secratary. From the expressions
made last evening , there Is llttlo doubt
that the new system will be a popular
one In Dimver , nuporceding both gas
and the old olefrlo system. It la
doing so rapidly In other parts of the
country , and the central office has now
orders which will test the capacity of
the company for a year.
The generator , or dynamo as It Is
termed , consists , In this plant , of two
pairs of copper wound magnets ter
minating In Iron blocks hollowed out
to form the magnetic field or point
where the armature takes off the
electric fluid and transmits it to the
system. This armature Is a cyllndri
cal shapad body consisting on the In-
aide of iron disks bound together and
covered with copper wire in bands of
very low resistance to the current ,
glrlng a
LAKQE QUANTITY OP ELECTRIC FLUID
of very low intensity or force. This la
entirely different from any other sys
tem of electric lighting , and inanrca
the porfcot safety from tire and liabil
ity of electric shocks , as the effect
oven at the machine is very slight.
The writer placed his hands an the
poles of the machine , as did a great
many of those present , without any
aerlous Inconvenience. The principle
of low resistance In the generator ,
adopted In this system , gives a perfect
steadiness to the light.
The lamps mod by this company are
a small , pear shaped glass containing ft
carbonized bamboo , which is placed in
an almost perfect vacuum Inside the
globe. When there la a current passIng -
Ing through the lamps the littlecarbon
glows and omits the light which In this
plant are of
fclXTEEN CANDLE POWER ,
or a little above the ordinary gas jot ,
The light given by those lamps , while
light and clear , has iiono of the ghast3
ly effects of the ordinary electric >
lights , and can bo turned off AS the i
consumer detiros , either at each lamp i
or all at once ,
A noteworthy feature of this light
is the absence of heat , The hand can
be placed on the lamps while burning
without any serious inconvenience ,
the heat being only about one-fit-
taonth that of gas. The consumer haa
not to trim his lamps every day , aa
the lamps need no attention whatever ,
Their average lifetime , as guaranteed
by the company , Is six hundred hours ,
which would be a hundred days if the
lamps burnt six hears out of the
twenty fonr , but this average Is In
nearly every case exceeded. The average -
orage has been shown to be over eight
hundred hours. When a lamp is
broken , which seldom occurs , the
carbon la instantly destroyed and a
now lamp can bo
ADJUSTED BY ANY PERSON
In D very short tlmo.
There can bo no comparison be
tween the Edison lights and the
preiont system of elootrlo lighting ,
aa the Edison IB designed entirely
for lighting on the innldo where a
mild and at the same time a pure and
steady light la desired. They can be
adjusted for theaters as well as in
the ordinary way. Any part or all
tbo lights in a theater can ba turned
down as Ion as deiirod.
Qaito a number of theaters , both
In this country and In Europe , are
lighted by this Byatom. Among the
latest to ba lighted was Havorly's
Chicago theater. The conductors of
this Byatom are laid underground and
attachments made much the same as
0for water or gas , The electroliers ,
the chandeliers for electric lighting
1aro called , can bo made in
ANY SHAVE OK PATTERN
exactly as gas chandeliers. Some of
the patterns shown at the oflioa for
this lighting were very elegant.
Among them were table lamps , drop
lamps , side braoketa as well as the
chandeliers. This show * the feasibil
ity of the adoption of this system in
exactly the aamo manner as gas. As
In the manner cf furnishing gas ,
motors for measuring the electric fluid
are placed In every house where oloo-
trlclty la used , and when the consumer
is through with any ono or all of his
lamps ho turns them ofi , olthor all at
once or as he pleases , and when ho
deilres to light them ho has only to
turn them on and tha lamps are Instant *
ly lighted.

they were tried by hole and corner in

fer any evidence toextrioato them. One
Informer waa sufficient for the govern

, with offers of freedom , money and
bribes of whisky , to induce him to
ewoar away the liberty of. his fellow
man. f Cries of "Shame , shame 1" ]
Mr. Harrington said ho could provo
that such overtures had been made to
tlB
Bovoral ( men in Gil way jail by detec
tives , who had tried to Induce them
to . swear away the liberty of men not

BAREBACKED STEEDS
Tno Method of Training Horsoa lor
Ulrcub Purposes
New York Journal.
"It looks easy enough , but It isn't
quite so easy as it looks. "
The subject of conversation was
upon training hones for circus ridIng -
Ing , and the speaker was the noted
bareback performer Frank Mohlllo
Mt. Molvlllo Is still quite n young
man , and comes of a circus perform
ing family.
"My first essay npon the back of
horse , " ho said to a Journal man ,
"was made when I was 8 years old.
My father guided the animal with
the old-fashioned cord or 'tango , ' ai
It was called , and I still recollect
very well how scared I was. It took
mo fonr yean to learn hpw to turn
my first somersault with lafoty , and
I have not completed my education
yet. The first time I lit on my foot ,
the second on my knees , "
"How are the horses trained ? '
"Tho first thing circus men do when
they got now horses for training la to
simply kocp them In the stables with
others for a certain length of time
until they have got used to their now
company. It's singular how jealous
horses are of now oomors. Yon may
laugh , bnt horses ha ; o their way of
what I might call 'gaylngi green stock
as well as human performers. Too
next operation Is to blindfold them ,
when they are led Into the ring and
trained to the circular motion. This
requires much time and patience.
Homo horses have two weeks , othem
twice aa many months. Tbo natural
tendency of a horse la to go straight ,
and this constant round IB strange acd
unnatural to him , Ho is first walked
around , then trotted , then galloped ,
each stage being thoroughly mastered
before the next Is attempted. Now
adays wo USD a system ot chocks and
lines which renders the process much
easier.
"After tbo horse has boon thorough
ly broken Into each motion , then the
blindfold Is removed and the per
former commences to try tricks with
him. The horse being naturally an
observant animal Is placed qy the side
of , . another , which is trained to give
him confidence and ao the two work
together , the rider first trying ono
then the other by tarns In order to
famlllarlrs the now arrival. It la a
great mistake to aapposo that harsh-
ncas Is resorted to as a moans of break
ing in olrous horses. Horses so train
ed are seldom ( o bo depended upon ,
and the rldor never knows when ho
may bo loft. "
"Is turning a somersault on a horse
moro difficult than any other way ? "
"Much moro difficult because of the
peculiar motion. In fact , the performer
mor haa to reverie completely the
ordinary moiomont ho would make if
ho were merely detcondlng to the
ground. Instead of alighting on a
level plain ho has to alight on an in
clined ono. Pads are never used now
by performers of moro thun ordinary
merit. I have a hone that will run In
a 48 foot ring In loss than 2:40. : When
you consider that it Is necessary in on o
act to turn four nomoraanlts In ono
revolution around the ring , yon oan
form nome idea of the dlllhuHy of the
feat. A good , Intelligent animal will ,
technically speaking , 'fool' his rldor
and accommodate his motions as
much as possible to his own. "
"Aro horses sensible of the applause
of the audience ? '
"Almost as much wo aro. It Is
wonderful to contrast what a horse
nlll do under the stimulus of applauio
with what ho will do when tha
audience ' is oold and phlegmatic
They are apt , however , just the same
as wo when the approval Is too stimu
lating. That ia ono of the reasons
for the several chocks and reins that
yon see circus horses provided with.
These are not by any means intended
for < ornament , as some people suppose ,
but are strictly necessary.
"What la the value of a well
trained circus honoi ? "
"I have just bought ono from Bar-
num for a $1COO. As a rule , riders
own tholr own horses exclusively. I
have two , Madtmo Riland has two ,
Madame Roolor haa also two. In all ,
I suppose there are from ton to a
dozen horses In Bantam's show that
are the property of the riders. This ,
of course , does not include the stock of
trick horses. "
Do you groom your own animate ? '
'No. I have my own man
who attends to that , whom I have to
pay. In fact , a thoroughly trained
groom Is almost aa necessary aa a
thoroughly trained horse , which
needs as much care aa a baby. Prior
to every act a horses back la
robbed with rosin to prevent the
performer's feet from slipping
This has to be carefully washed
oat after each performance , otherwise
it would make the animal's back sore
In a very short timo. Then tie feet
require well looking after. A groom
must also be something of a veterinary
surgeon. Ho must also prevent the
animal taking oold. Some of my
blankets alone coat mo f CO apiece. "
"What would you do in the event
of an aecldont to your horse ? '
"Tko a stock horeo. There are in
this circus some eight or ton horses
owned by the firm that have been pur
chased for breaking in to the business
just for auch emergencies ai you sug
gest. They are fed upon the boat of
everything that money can procure.
Of course nu accident to a horse be 3.I
longing to a performer would bo a
very aerlc u i matter , honoo the great
oaro that is required.
"Mr. Barnum has a clrcas horse for
which ho wouldn't take 55,000. There
are horses hero money couldn't buy. roI
have also a pure blooded , thorough i-
bred Arabian mare , poifeotly trained ,
ono of the few In this country. A
lady performer haa also an English
hunter , that leaps a four foot bar four
times within a 48 font ring. The
oldest horse in this show is 1C years.
The average prlmo Is from eight to ton
yonrn. "
"Can you toll mo If circus horses
make good roadsters ! "
"Wo have horacs that will trot a
mtlo In 2:35 : , bnt , of oonrso tholr
owners never thluk of putting them
to snch a speed. If you oomo with
mo I will show the stables. "
The horeea were juat being fed 1 ,
and It waa evident at first flight to BOO
the great care -that was taken with
them , The stables were not only remarkably
markably cloin , bnt bore every ex
ternal evidence of the solicitude xof
tholr attendants for tholr comfort.
They were covered with heavy blan
kets of the best material , tholr eyes
sparkled with health , and tholr coats
shone like silk.

The assoclato society for Capias

splendidly , la this county there are
about ono hundred dead , two hundred
wounded , and ono thousand home-
lots. Everything , houses , bedding
and clothing , was blown away
In the course of twenty minutes.
The desolation is complete and no
moro worthy occasion for sustained
aid could bo placed before o sympa
thising and generous public. All Is
not yet known , but it is apalllng as it
Is , Money Is needed at once to pay
nuraos and to bay food , clothing , oto.
Wo think an appeal to New York
