Mayor HeraU will probably UUo ft hand in
the electric light controversy , nnd the next
tlmo a bill from the Thomson-Houston com
pany comes to him for his approval it will
doubtless meet with n veto.
The committee on gas nnd electric llghtsof
the council , comoscd ) of Edwards , Steel nnd
MoLoarlc , will probably also hoar something
drop , nnd it will not bo with the noiseless
descent of a pin cither. The mayor Is fairly
city to exercise Its rights under the lighting
contract anil compel the Thomson-Houston
company to furnish sticot lights of ! ! , ( XXJ
candle power.
Tlio council committee might have been
possessed wltn the Idea that Its report
would put the city electrician nnd his photo
metric test to sleep for all tnno to como. If the
committee could have been present at a con-
foroncn In the ofllco of Mayor Ilumis yester
day afternoon It might have learned the fact
that half a iloon city ofllclals besides Mayor
Boinls nro convinced of the accuracy of n
photometric test , ana have confidence In Mr
Covrgill's ability to handle the Instrument
properly.
The conference was called by Mayor Bomls
for the purpose of ascertaining "where are
wont ! " These present were the mayor , As
sistant City Attonioy Cornish , City Knglnuor
Hosowntor , Assistant City Engineer Orover
and City Electrician Cowglll. All of the
gentlemen present know moro or less about
clootrlclty and the most of them could have
glvon the council committee a car lomt of
pointers on tbo volts , amperes , 'watts ' and all
the other properties Unit the electrical
world knows of ,
t
I'luln KiiRllsh from the Mnynr.
Mayor liomls displayed a copy of Mr
Cowil'i ! report on the test of the light at
Twentieth and St. Mary's nvonuo. nnd a copy
of the report of the count ; ! ! committee touchIng -
Ing on the same. "I have called tills con
ference to sou what can bo done , " said the
mayor , "hook at this report from thntcom-
mlttco. Kvcn Mr. Wiley himself would not
have dared write such an Indecent , ungcu-
tleiminly report. I toll you wo must ascer
tain whether wo have any rights in this city
or not. It Is a dlsgraco that a council com
mittee , supposed to represent the taxpayers
of this city , should bring in such a report.
It U simply damnable , nnd it looks very much
llko brass collars were bolng worn by the
members of that committee. They throw
Blurs at the electrician and simply attempt
to ridicule him. I believe that If the tax
payers nro not receiving what they have
contracted for that wo should not permit
their money to bo expended. "
The mayor asked City Engineer Rosewater -
water to give his views on the matter. Mr.
Ilosotrutor Is as familiar with electrical matters -
tors as ho is with public work , Ho has
studied nnd rc.iil a great deal on the subject
and U altogether an electrician. IIo said
that the photometric test Is tbe only ono
thnt will show thu candle power of an nra
light within a reasonable per cent of ac
curacy. Tno electrical test is desired by the
lighting companies. This test Is made by
taking the voltage and amperage of the cir
cuit for the purpose of ascertaining the num
ber of watts. A commercial standard has
been made that a certain number of watts'
represent ! 2OtX ) candles In a lamp. This
standard moans the nominal candle power.
Such a standard does not uioan that the
lamp Is up to full 2,000 candle power. ' 'THo1
government rct > oris show that aXX ( ) ; notu { ; [ >
nal Is l.tKK ) exact. The photometric test was.i
made at the Philadelphia and Paris ex.- .
positions. Mr. Hosowntcr said that If the
inuyur nollovod that the terms of the contract - '
tract .should bo enforced that ho shouUUvdto
thu monthly bills of the council and ho
would hnvu performed his duty to the tax
payer * . He said that no ono contended that
th lights were other than 12,000 nomluub.
oiudlo ivowor.
\Vluit thn Contrnot Cull * For.
Mayor Bumls remarked that , the contract
with the company calls for -iHX ) candle
power lights , nnd as the city Is paying about
three prices for the service U should rocolvo
the lights of candle power It him contracted
for. When the tirst contract was entered
into the company Insisted on having the
word "nominal" inserted , but Mr. 1'opplo-
ton , the city attorney at that tlmo , refused ,
as did Mr. Connell when the second contract
was entered Into.
Mr. Cornish said thnt such being the case
the courts would certainly hold that the
company .should furnish lights of actual
U.OUU candle power and would attach no
value whatever to the commercial standard
accepted In other places , which moans that
a curtain number of wutts shall represent
2,000 candle power.
A general dUcusslon followed , the city en-
Klnqoraii'l city electrician explaining the
photometric tests , as well as the electrical
tosts.
' 1 he mayor appeared satisfied with the In
formation ho had received. When the July
bill for lighting of the Thomson-Houston
company linds its way Into the appropria
tion ordinance It will probably ? moct Its fa to
in n vigorous veto that wljl awaken the
council to the fnct that the executive- bond
has boon garnering Information on electrical
matters ana ran wrlto of volts , amperes and
watts with as much felicity as the council
cnnunlttco , only in a different and moro dig-
Hilled vein.

the Sun Frnnoisco Chronicle. lie came
from Oakland and was onrwuto to the
SoldlorH1 homo at Simla Monica , where ,
notwithstanding the mighty changes
and accumulation of gigantic fortunes
in Ills time , ho is compelled to end his
days.
Binghnin IB almost 70 years old , and
his hair and beard are as whlto as snow.
Besides assisting to raise the boar ling
ho IH the veteran of two florco wars.
IIo went all through the campaign
against Mexico , which ended in the
ceding of Texas , and was in no less than
thirteen fierce engagements , yet ho was
notovon wounded. IIo know intimately
General Wlnfleld Scott , and the re
nowned hunter , trapper and frontier
lighter , Davy Crockett. IIo started in
the war at Vera Cruz and remained un
til the last gun was fired.
When the war of the rebellion broke
out Blnghnm. not yet done with light
ing , joined the Second California cav
alry. In this ho nerved until Leo sur
rendered to the grim man on horseback
and hero of Appomnttox. Afterward ,
and for a period previous also , the old
man engaged in many forays against
the Diggers and other tribes , lie ran
innumerable narrow risks , but never re
ceived a scratch.
But for all this the old man lias but
ono arm. This is ono of the saddest
things In his remarkable career and
caused him to be sent to Santa Monica.
'About a year ago ho was running nn
-olovntor at the borax works in Alameda.
The elevator caught and mangled his
arm and almost wrenched it from Us
socket. Because of this ho had to have
it amputated. \ _ \
Friends of the old man yesterday ex
pressed themselves in bitter terms about
the ingratitude of republicans in not
giving ollleos to mon who had rendered
such remarkable services , but ho said
not a word himseWJ Uo merely smiled
quietly , as though ho had yet but a little
tlo while to live. Ho thought , perhaps ,
that it did not make so much difference
as Ills friends imagined.
" 1 never expect to leave Santa Mon
ica , " ho said , "and when I take my de
parture from San Francisco this after
noon I shall look upon It for the last
time. "
There was a touch of sadness in his
voice as ho said this , but ho bore up
bravely.
"The fact is.snid the quiet man. "I
have seen San Francisco prow from a
few squalid adobes to its present great
size , and it is like parting with a child
to leave it forever. "
The old warrior and Indian trailer

Thn Origin of tlm Man * Kane.
There Is a very pretty Gorman tradi
tion , not generally known , which ac
counts In the following manner for the
existence of the moss rose. The legend
is to the olTcct that once upon a time an
nngol , having a mission of love to suitor-
Ing humanity , cnmo down on earth. Ho
was much grieved nt all the sin and
misery ho saw , nnd at all tlio evil things
ho' .hoard. Being tired , ho sought a
place wherein to rest , but , as it fared
with his Master , so It fared with him ;
there was no room for him , and no ono
would ( five him shelter. At last ho lay
clown under the shade of a rose and
slept till the rising sun awoke him. Be
fore winging his flight heavenward ho
addressed the rose , and said that as it
had given him that shelter which man
denied , it should rccolvo an endearing
token of his power and lovo. And so ,
loaf by leaf , and twig by twig , the soft
green moss grow round the stem , and
there It is to this day , a cradle in which
the now born rose may lie , a proof , as
the angel said , of God's power and lovo.

The eighth biennial Bundcschuotzonfcst
of the Western Shooting league of North
America , will take plnco at Omnha
Sotiuotzonpark ( Iluicr's ) beginning with
August 21 and lasting for seven days. Many
visitors are oxncctod on this occasion. If
the many loiters , rccolvoi ) by Secretary
Hoimrocl almost daily from dllToront verolns
cast , west , north and south are any Imllca-
tlon as far as nttcndanco is concerned , at
least ! ) ,000 people will bo present.
About ono-third of this number will p.ir1
tlclpalo In the shoot , \vliicli promises to bo
as great a tourmimont a ? the ono hold at St.
LnuU two years ace , when tlio Omaha
delegation succeeded In having this city
named as the plauo lor thu next fcst. In
order to tnako necessary preparations com
mlttous have been busy for the last two
months to perfect arrangements whereby
the participating rtllcmon will have the
saint ) conveniences In this western metropo
lis that have always Induced the league to
hold thcso shoots In the largest cities of the
country.
The shooting grounds at Uusor's have
therefore been enlarged from two targets , as
used by the Omaha Verom to liven ty-llvo ,
with as many shooting stands In a building
200 yards distant. This required also qulto
a largo amount of grading. It was further
found that the other buildings on the
ground ) wcro inadequate for such an orcut
and an oxtunslvo and nandsomo pavilion was
erected , besides a double tpnplti alley for
the amusement of visitors who might tire of
firing their rltlcs.
In till , not liss than 55,000 In this way has
been expended.
The only drawback to n successful ending
of the great rllla contest Is the lack of facil
ities for conveniently reaching the ground.
Center street , the main thoroughfare leadIng -
Ing to the park , is at present in a deplorable
condition. An old unused street car track
occupies the middle of the road , high enough
from the surfaceto , make crossing It an Im
possibility. The heavy rains have also un
dermined it in places until the rails
are hanging in mid ulr , held together
only by the spikes In the tics. This loaves a
narrow driveway on ono sldo , which is likewise -
wise b.ully washed , so that teams have great
dlftlcnlty In passing ouch other. Only with
the greatest of earn exercised by the driver
upon a vehicle can a load of passengers bo
safely carried to the park.
For the sharpshooters , o' course , arrange
ments are under way to reach the park by
the Missouri Pacific , but whether trains on
this ro.id will bo run at such short Intervals
to allow all who wish to visit the grounds on
these days to do so , remains yet to be seen.
Program 119 1'rupnroil.
The program for the contest , as laid out
by the local committee of the Bund , has mot
with the approval of all the voreins. The

sort where medical students congregate
and drink the foaming' cumber. Curloy
was born in 'Frisco twenty-eight years
ago. Ho hus always livtid there with
the oxceptibn of a tlpio Australia u
few years ago. Ho. , } Moot 11 inches
tall and his usual wojghj is about 190
pounds. Ho has boon jumping moro or
loss all his life. i < .
A party of skopticsivlslted Curloy recently -
contly In order to find mil whether the
stories of his vomarkablo powers wore
true or hot. They fojind.him behind his
bar ready tD'attenl ta lli'om. "When ho

pleased to show what ho could do.

"It's easy enough , " ho said. "Moat
anybqdy can do a high jump. It's
easier , I think , tp jump backward and
upward than to jump forward and up
ward at the same time. I don't know
how high I over jumped. Hut once ,
when I felt like jumping , I tried three
or four high buck jumps , the best 5 feet
31 Inches. "
The world's record for a standing high
jump , forwards , with weights , is i > foot
8 } inches , held by T. P. Kcarnoy. With
out weights the record Is hold by A. P.
Schwanor , who jumped ufoot 3r inches
Juno 11 , 1892 , in Now York.
Curloy does all of his ju ping while
standing still , and with out the use o
weights. lie claims that any man who
can jump two inches higher than his
knee cap can , with practice , lengthen
his jump aa high as his chin. Ho can
give no reason for till o.xcopt that ho
has been jumping eve l since ho was
boy and has improved every year.
Another font that excited the wonder
of the skoptfcs was performed with an
ordinary plug hat and a newly laid egg.
Curloy put the egg on top of the hat
which ho placed in the center of the
floor. Be stood beside the hat and then
sprang lightly in the air. Everybody
thought ho would crush the egg and the
hat when ho landed upon them , but
Curloy just came down far enough to
crack the egg's shell and then by a
quick motion drew his foot backward ,
landing upon the floor on precisely the
spot from which ho originally jumped.
But thosotrioks , while wonderful in-
tholr way , did not satisfy the invostl
gators. They wanted to have the story
of Curloy's leap over n horse verified.
They asked if he could do It , and ho
laughed as ho said :
"Certainly ; I jumped ovoi1 a fifteen-
and horse tbo flrst tlrao I tried it. * It
wan this way. I was at work in u bluok-
mlth'ri shop ono day when a man came

TWENTY MILLION HOUSES.
Russia Hit * Tlime nntl It la Morn Thnn Any
Other C'nnntrj- .
The most poptiloua horse country In
the world is Russia in KuroiH ) . It has
20,000,000 of horse * The United States
conies next , with a horse population of
moro than 10,000,000. , In proportion to
the number of Inhabitants the United
States Is far richer In horses than
Russia. But In that proportion the
United States Is In turn far surfassed
by the Argentina Ropubllc , where , lie-
cording to the latest accessbio ! figures ,
there are n few moro horses than people.
The countries of western and so'uthcrn
Europe are thinly populated with horses
compared with the American continent
and .Russia. Italy , with a human popu
lation of more than 30,000,000. has only
720,000 horses , but It has almost twlco
as many mules and donkeys as horses
Spain has only a few.moro' than 1100,000
horses , or about one lionto to every sixty
people. Most of the "cavaliers'1 of
Spain rhlo on donkeys. .The United
Kingdom of Great Urltuln and Ireland
has only about 2,000,000 , horses.
The United States is the most popu
lous niulu country In the world. It is
also , , by many millions , the most popu
lous pig country , possessing over 4(1- ( ,
000,000 of swlno. There Is also a larger
proportion of pigs to the human popula
tion than in any other country larger
oven than in Ireland , a country which is
popularly but mistakenly supposed to bo
the Utopia of the pig. The country of
sheep , par excellence , Is Australia. On
that continent there are a few more than
3,000,000 people , but there are 02.000,000
snoop that Is to ay , twenty snoop to
every man , woman and child. In the
United States wo have only about 47-
000,000 sheop. which , though a larger
sheep population than that of any other
country except Australia and the Argen
tine Republic , is not proportionately so
great a number as several other coun
tries possess. British India him moro
cuttle than any other country , but the
United States 1ms nearly as many up
ward of 02.000,000. However , the Ar
gentine Republic again loads in the
number of cuttlo in proportion to human
beings. If the cattle in Argentina wore
divided equally among all the people
every man , woman and child would
have live cattle to take euro of , and
there would bo enough left to give one
additional critter each to almost a
million of the people. Considered from
the point of view of farm animals , the
Argentine Republic is probably the
most important country in the world.

ho approved of the claims of each.
Some of the replies of the squatters , who
