Reynolds claims the door of the shop was broken open one night anJ the stuff carried off. and saya he has no Idea who was the guilty party. He notified Miss Glcason of the theft , but when she wrote him asking what olHccrs he had put on the trail of the thieves she received no reply. So far as can be learned no report of the theft was over made at police headquarter ? , and no effort has been made to apprehend the burglars.

S'X ' HUNDRED SINNERS BROUGHT LOW Irnncellit Plenon Ulndi lip 111 * Work find Inob Over the Fruit of Ills Kfforti Interesting Meetings nt Three Churches. The union revival services which have been n progress for the last three weeks closed ast evening , and the audiences that gath ered at the First Prcjuytorlan and Broadway Methodist churches were the largest , prob ably , of the entire series. The scats were nil full , and many listened eagerly from the aisles , where they had to stand throughout the somewhat lengthy service. Mr , I'lerson took the halt of the Israelites jsfore Kadcsh-llarnea as his theme. Their mullllngness to try conclusions with the slants , the sons of Anal , who , they thought , inhabited the promised land , he likened to the hesitation with which some approached Hie momentous question of repentance. The Israelites were kept out of a goodly land for forty years because of their delay , and had to wander up and down a wilderness until they had paid the penalty of their procrasti nation. The penalty of delay In turning from evil might be still more serious. Agrlppa , the. speaker s ld , admitted , after one of I'aiiPs masterly speeches that he was almost persuaded to become o Christian. Hut lie went no further , and was lost. It Is the last step that counts , not the first. Satan Is perfectly willing to have a man become a Christian tomorrow. Those In the audience who were un'aved were reminded that It would require more Df an effort for them to be eavcil because they had heard and neglected so many pre sentations of the truth that their hearts had been hardened. As the egg hunter In the mountains found himself on a narrow ledg ° of rock , with the rope , which had Just slipped from his grasp , dangling Just beyond his reach , and with each vibration going a little farther away , so the unbeliever who had sat under the preaching of the gospel year after year without repenting would find that the longer he postponed accepting Christ the harder work It would ba to find salvation. The speaker closed with a graphic descrip tion of the dancers of procrastination. After preaching at the Presbyterian church Mr. I'lerson left Immediately for the Broad way Methodist , where he also spoke. An nfter meeting was held at each place , and late In the evening there was a meeting at the Ilaptlst church of the converts and work ers of the past three weeks. It was an Im pressive service , many of the converts mak ing short remarks. At the clo'e all Joined hands In a circle and sang "Blest Be the Tie that Hinds. " Tto meeting was In the nature of a farewell to Mr. I'ierson , who leaves today for Alpcna , Mich. , where he will begin another series of meetings. During the afternoon an Interesting meet ing was held at the Broadway Methodist church. Speeches were made by I' . C. Ie- Vol , S. II. Foner. J. P. Hess , George Han- tborn , Ovlde Vlen and George Pullman , each of whom announced himself as a new con vert. vert.Mr. Mr. Plerson has made n host of friends and the city has received a religious awakening that has not been equalled for years. Six hundred have expressed a desire to lead Christian lives. It Is a noticeable fact that a large percentage of this numbr are business men. Mr. Plerson Is well liked ; his sermons have been a treat to cultivated people particularly , and a large Increase of spiritual force In all the churches Is one of the principal results of the meetings. , Moii'Jiiy nt Hunmston'd. 6,000 yards standard dress prints , only Monday , 2Vfcc yard.

THE FIELD OF ELECTRICITY Plans and Progress of the Ore nt Powo Plant nt Niafcnra Palls. THE TESLA METHOD- < TR\NSMISSION < i t- T . A Veteran Tclegraphee Ur c > Government Otrnerihlp Improvement ! In Motors nnd L : mp Ic\rtbpnientR In Other No definite dale has yetubecn set for the Inauguration of Niagara Falls electric power In Buffalo. It Is reasonably certain the event will not take place before the 1st of August , and the Indications are In favor of a much later date. The fact Is the mode of trans mission has not bcn fully determined on. Report has It that the Tesla system will be used In carrying the current over the Inter vening twenty-two miles between the Falls and the heart of Buffalo. Ths Tesla method of transmission Is a carefully guarded secret , but It is known to be a radical departure from the \\Ire method. It Is said to be a fluid a solution of some metallic salt con tained In a metal tube surrounded by rub ber. By this method It Is claimed electric power can bo sent from the Falls to Chicago cage and New Orleans at less than the cost of generating power on the spot by steam. The fluid costs scarcely more than water and loses so little electricity In transit that the cost of transmission is little more than the cost of putting up the poles and tubes. Meanwhile the Buffalo city council and the Cataract Power company are endeavoring to arrive at satisfactory terms as a basis for the franchise required by the latter. Both sides are wide apart on the price to be charged for electrical power. The council has Indicated a maximum price , which the company Is not disposed to accept , a'nd Its decision will be deferred until exprlments determine the per centage of loss In transmission. The draft of the franchls3 prepared by a committee of the city council provides for .underground conduits ; that there shall be a uniform price charged by tha company In all parts of the city and that a consumer In one part of the city shall not be able to obtain power at n cheaper rate than a manufacturer In another section. This will place all con sumers upon an equal footing. In the franchise Is also a provision that If the city demands the power company shall lurnlsh power for the waterworks at a rate not to exceed $20 a horse power and shall furnish street lights at an expense not to exceed $50 a year each , or that the power company may have the option of , In place of furnishing power and lights , paying into the treasury of the city a certain per cent of the gross receipts each year. If within a radius of a mile of the lines of the power company power to the amount of 2,000-horse power Is required by con sumers the franchise requires that the power company hliall extend Us lines within six months to the various consumers who petition for power. An Important provision is that ths power company cannot raise the price of power tea a consumer after once agreeing to furnish It at a certain price. It Is further provided that the power com pany shall have the power ready for delivery to customers In Buffalo by January 1 , 1S9R , In quantities of not less , than 10,000 horse power ; also that the .company shall furnhh at least 10,000-horse power , ' a year for the succeeding four years until U shall be supplyIng - Ing 50,000-horse power to the city , provided there Is a demand for to great an amount ot power. At the end of twenty-flv6' ' years the city , If U so desires , can buy the. 'Jilant of the power company Inside the city. The amount to b ? paid by the city Is to ba determined by an appraisal made by three , 'appraisers , one to be appointed by the lAay r and one by the power company and th'e third to be selected by the two Interested parties. The term of the frartchlsq Is to be twenty- five years. No price Is Stipulated for general consumers. The penalty f6r violation ot any of the provisions of the franchise Is a for feiture of the franchlsp. ' ' ' POSTAL TELlfOftAPHY. Patrick H. Delaney , a veteran telegrapher , thinks that the government could do the work now covered by the postal service vastly better by means of the telegraph. Of course , radical changes will have to take place. Mr. Delaney shows that at present It costs the telegraph companies 3 cents to bring a message from a customer to the office , and another 3 cents to deliver it. As this rate Is based on an average of twenty words per minute with hand transmission and sixty words per minute with the quadruplex working , It Is easy to understand that the companies can not telegraph for Usj than existing rates. But hand working and great numbers of cheap wires will soon be things of the past Automatic systems and a few big copper wires reaching out to the principal cities will have a vastly Increased capacity , and will before long be employed to carry quantities of correspondence which at present we do not dream of. Mr. Delaney says : "Why should the government Insist on carrying our letter ? by train at thirty miles an hour Instead of by telegraph ? Why waste twenty-four hours in covering the distance between New York and Chicago ? There are about 30,000 letters exchanged between New York and Chicago dally. Assuming that they average fifty wo-is each , all could be telegraphed over two copper wires the size of a lead pencil , and with time to spare. " It has been demon strated that with the automatic chemical method 1,000 words per minute can be re corded perfectly between New York and Chicago , over a one ohm per mile wire. Mes sages can be perforated at I he rate of twenty- flve words per minute , and typewriters can print from the received tape at the same speed.

" This Is what Mr. Delaney says wo are com ing to If the government will only take hold of the work. It will bo curious and Inter esting to watch the bearing of the enormous development of telephony which Is close at hand , and to tee what part It will play In the cheapening of telegrams , whether the gov ernment acquires control of the telegraph service of the country or not. ELECTRIC MOTOR IN AGRICULTURE. Farmers , as a class , are not given to new fads , but they have a quick eye for any In vention that means a solid saving In work or money. It Is significant that more electric motors have been sold for agricultural pur poses within the last nine months than In any previous year. Electricity Is now used on great numbers ot farms for lighting the buildings and driving machines of varlom kinds , and where manual labor Is usually scarce the advantage of such a ready and effective servant Is Immense. Some doubt having been thrown upon the economy of using electric power for' threshing Instead of horses , a farmer has written to an electrical journal giving the results that he has at tained. He used to thrdsh with three pairs ot horses , which worked a machine of 800 revolutions per minute , ' The horses were changed four times a'dayi ' He now uses an electric motor. He finds , to begin with , that his threshing machine Is saved an Im mense amount of wear and tear , as Its workIng - Ing Is smooth and even.1 Formerly his six horses threshed In one" hour 4.23 tons of barley ; now his electric motor threshes 5.66 tons In the same time. " He uses electric power for every operation on his farm that Beecham's pills are for biliousness - ness , bilious headache , dyspep sia , heartburn , torpid liverdiz- , riness sick headachebad , , taste in the mouth , coated tongue , loss of appetitc.sallow . skin.etc. , when caused by constipation ; and constipation is the most frequent cause of all of them.

An electric locomotive of a new type has been completed at the Baldwin works , Phila delphia , for the North American company , which operates the property of the Oregon Transcontinental company and an extensive street tallwny and electric lighting Interest In Milwaukee , This locomotive Is Intended for special experimental work In handling heavy freight and for switching purposes. It resembles somewhat the ordinary contodlda- tlon type used for pulling freight In yard work. There are four pairs of drivers coupled together by connecting rods , The drivers are fifty-six Inches In diameter , the end ones only being flanged. The motors , four In number and alternating In position. arc of the "continental" Iron-clad type. The motors are made for SOO volts at 225 revolu tions , which equals ilxly-flvo miles nn hour when In motion. Each motor will give about 250-horse power , and there will be a constant drawbar pull of over 10,000 pounds. A new arc lamp Is now being tried In Chicago cage which promises to make an Innovation In electric lighting. The Ian p. which varies In a number of essential features from the arc lamps In common use , Is the Invention ct a Cleveland , 0. . man named William Jandus. Mr. Jandus first began working iut his Id as In 1SSS , but It was not until Ust year that the patents were finally granted covering the main points of his Invention. The nsw lamp , which Is called the Manhat tan , has for Its essential principle the exclu sion of oxygen from the heated carbons , thereby preventing their combustion. This may almost be said to be a combination of the Incandescent and arc light principles. This exclusion of oxygen Is accomplished by means of two nearly airtight globes , cno In side the other , In the Inner one of which th ? arc Is formed. The Inner globe Is of fine ground glass , six Inches high and nearly cylindrical in form. It Is closed nearly airtight at the bottom by n metallic base which holds the negative car bon , and at the top by an Iron cap , through wh'ch ' feeds the upper or positive carban. The outside glebe , which may be cither of cbar or ground glass , l < of the size usually sfcn on arc lights. H has the distinction , however , of being sealed at the top by an or namental Iron top and closed nearly airtight at the bottom by a dustpan of the same matt- rial. rial.Ily Ily virtue of this arrangement the Inventor claims that the heat of tne arc between the two carbon points greatly rarlflcs the air In side the smaller globe , while the oxyg'n of that which remains In both of the globes Is rapidly converted Into carbon-monoxide , a gis which will not support combustion. The arc then , burning In a rarlfied medium of Inactive gases , will burn more steadily and of greater length than one exposed to the action of the atmosphere , which results In a brighter and more een light. Besides this the closed glcbrs make the lamp dustless nnd fireproof. Hut the particular feature claimed for the lamp , nnd the one which. If .true , marks an other great step forward In the progress of arc lighting , Is the long life ot the carbons. In this lamp , it is claimed , a pair of half-Inch carbons of the ordinary length will burn 100 to 200 hours , or , as arc lamps are * ordinarily usd , two weeks. H Is claimed that the cur rent required to operate the lamp Is only from four to five amperes , as distinguished from the seven to ten commonly u'il by arc lights. But the same amount of energy Is obtained by burning the lamp at seventy to eighty volts Instead of fifty , as usual. This means that the lamps can be put singly on an ordinary Incandescent circuit Inst ad of In pairs as arc lamps arc now used. The long life of the carbons makes It necsssary for the lamps to "feed" about one-tenth as often as the common type of arc light , hencc a much greater steadiness and absence of fl ckerlng In the 1'ght. The claim Is made that the saving In cost cf carbons alone Is ? 15 a year for each laTp , which would amount In an ordinary arc lightIng - Ing Installation to the Interest on the cost of the plant. The saving on labor and attention Is as great , or about 90 _ per.cent of the usual cost. cost.TRANSFORMING TRANSFORMING DIRECT CURRENTS. It Is announced that a new device for trans forming a continuous current has been In vented by J. J. Hogan , who Is connected with the mechanical department of the psycholog ical laboratory of Yale university. It Is said to be much more simple and Inexpensive than the motor-dynamo , but equally effectual. Within a few days tests cf the apparatus have been made In the presence of expert elec tricians , representing various telegraph and telephone companies ; and these men arc quoted as admitting that the Invention Is a bona fide affair , find net "fake" ' nor the product of a crank's f nr ) ' . U Is claimed also that Mr. llogaii'a method wattles less current than the one which It Is uVslgned to replace. Still further , It Is adopted to the re duction of any voltage , no mitttr what , lo any other voltage. This Is mi Important ad vantage , since the motor-dynamo has to be wound with special reference to the work It does , and then will reduce only from a given figure to another predetcrmln il figure. Mr , Hogan's apparatus Is universal In application , and Is regulatid by the simple turn of a thumbscrew , For the present , however , ho prefers not to have a detailed description pub lished. Finally It Is claimed that this con verter does not raise the amperage when re ducing the voltage , but leaves the form r un changed , ELECTRICAL NOTES An enterprising electrician at Webster City , to. , proposes hitching his horns by telephone to all communities within a radius of fifty miles. To do this economically he will utilize barb wire fences. He tried a line first between Webster City and Duncombc. It was a success , and now h ; hns Incorporated a company which has Just sprung Into ex istence and Is getting rich. A line was hltch'ed on to the birbcd wire fence between Webster City and Williams , twenty miles away. In one day. by two men who used only eight or ten rods of Insulated wire under the road crossings that pass over the railroad. He Is laying a line to Doonc , forty mites away , and If the barbed wire fences hold out ho will push on to DCS MOIIKB or Missouri. Cleveland Is to have a very convenient new- Invention put on alt the telephones In the city. As teen as a person tnkcs down the annunciator a small electric lamp Is lighted on the switch board. When the person called responds another Jet Is lighted and the two remain distinct before the operator's eyes , nnd In this way he can easily tell when the con versation Is closed. The new system does away with the nuisance ot ringing a bell to call "central. " Eight years ago , there were only thirteen electric roads with about 100 cars In opera tion In the United States. Xow there arc S50 roads , with a total of 9.000 miles of track , 23,000 cars , and a capitalization of over $400,000.000. A recent comic cartoon of a trolley line to the pyramids of Egypt and up to their summits turns out to have a serious founda tion. Illds have been received by the Egyptian government for a trolley line from Cairo to the pyramids nnd a Frenchman has applied for a permit to build an Inclined plant line up the face of the great pyramid , but was refused. The state railroad commission of New York has rendered a decision on Joint applica tion of the Metropolitan Street Railroad com pany nnd the Sixth Avenue Railroad company for permission to Install an underground el'ctrlc system In New York City. It wns made evident to the commissioners that the system wai in every respect satisfactory and upon the showing made the authority asked for by the companies was granted. NEW ILLUMINATING GAS. It Is reported that acetylene , the new Illu minating gas , will soon be offered for general use by householders In New York , arrange ments for Its manuf.ic.turc being almost com pleted. The gas element consists of two mole cules of carbon nnd two of hydrogen , being the lowest In the scries of hydro-cnrboni' which enter Into many ot the products of pc troleum and coal tar. It Is almost a pure carbon vapor. It can bo changed Into the llqulil form by pressure , and confined In the same kind of cans that arc used for the lique faction of carbonic acid ga ? . The plan for using Is to connect these cans with the service pipes and allow the contents to pass through them , a regulator permitting the liquid to change back to the gaseous form. It requires a spe cially constructed burner , the ono ordinarily used for coal gas being too large. The burners permit the passage of about one cubic foot per hour for a light of fifty candle-power. The resulting ! flame Is about an Inch wide , three-quarters of an Inch high , very brilliant and pure white. It has but half the heating power of the ordinary Illuminating gas. and Iocs not vitiate \tn \ air so much , PS U takes up a relatively small quantity of oxygen. It Is claimed that with one foot per hour the new ga will give as much light as a twenty-five candle-power gas burner using the ordinary Illuminating gas. The cost to consumers Is Miraculously changes Ilic Imnlcst waters lo a soft and velvety consistency. Made only by .IAMI-S S- KIRK K CO. , U. S A. .
