Wall filowers are un known. Cigarettes and "smiles" between dances are eschewed , excepting so far as the "smiles" como from a punch bowl whose contents are entirely harmless unless taken In doses cevcn feet deep without a life pre server. These affairs have always been noted for their brilliancy , and that given at the Grand hotel last Wednesday night was no ex ception to the rule. The dining room was transformed Into a dancing hall , with hand some decorations of evergreen , holly , palms and cut flowers. The Omaha Military orchestra furnished the mot * de lightful of amnslc.

Chicken thieves visited the residence of Joseph Abies , just outside the city limits on the Crescent City road , Friday .night , and stole seventy-two fowls.

Officer Martin was pac ing his beat on Upper Broadway at 4 o'clock yesterday1 morning when * team nnd wagon containing two men attracted his attention. Just as they met he called out for them , to stop. Instead of complying tha driver seized his whip and started his team Into a gallop that soon distanced the officer. Martin fired several shots from his revolver , but failed to step them. Their wagon had a covered box , and It Is supposed that they are the ones who did the stealing.

THE FIELD : JF ) ELECTRICITY TLo Progressive fcttTloy Dipping Into In- tomrbaa Frjight Business. WILL OPEN FIELD OF USEFULNESS Ilcut Melliodn of ItcNtincKutlon from Heavy Kleetrlo Slioekx The Power of Calm llnunver'N Klcctrlo Tinvclty , The number of Intcrurban trolley roads , some of them paralleling steam roads , Is Increasing , and In several parts of the coun try th > usa of trolley lines for the transpor tation of freight Is becoming noticeable. There will won bo constructed , says the New York Times , an electric line from Provl- d nee , It. I. , to Taunton Mass. , n distance of seventeen miles. This road will prac tically parallel the steam roatl of the New York , New Haven and Hartford company from ono of lhes > cities to the other. The ster.ni road , not following the direct course , Is much longer , and the trolley tickets will be sold for only half the price now paid for a pass-age on th > line of the New Haven com pany. In Missouri a new trolley road Is now In uro between St. Louis and the neighborIng - Ing town of Clayton. Heretofore there has boer. communication by rail between the two places only twlco a day. The electric cars will run every twenty minutes , and will carry freight as well as passengers. SovJral electric lines that will connect cities In other parts of Missouri are soon to be constructed , and thtso will carry freight. Some time- ago mention was made of the approaching completion of a trolley road from Akron , O. , to Cleveland , a distance of more than thirty miles' ' . This road parallels a st'am line. A few days ago the trolhy system of Akron and Its suburbs was pur chased by Senator Brlce and other steam railroad capitalists. It may be that the same gentlemen will find It expedient to ob tain control of the new line which connects this system with the Cleveland Troll'ys. Certain trolley companies In northern New- Jersey have undertaktn to carry freight , and are meeting with some opposition. It Is announced that these companies Intend If th y shall be permitted to use their road for this purpose , to bring "garden truck" from the farms to the markets of Jersey City and New York. The cost of transportation by wagon and horses Is qulle burdensome , and this charg ? , It Is said , can bo reduced by 75 per cent If trolley freight cars are upd. Last summer one of the Hartford suburban ttolley companies carried baggage In cars usd exclusively for that purpose , and the owner of the largest peach orchard In New England shipped his fruit to the city In the. cars of another suburban road. The Times predicts that we shall htar more by and by about the transportation of freight of various kinds on electric lines now used only for passenger traffic. ELECTRICAL ACCIDENTS. The Paris correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat furnishes some Interesting details of experiments conducted by the Academy of Medicine as to the- best means of resuscitation from heavy electric shocks. The appalling number ( of accidents claiming so many lives of brave workmen and duti ful officers In the' service of electrical In dustries nnd Institutes iliad long been a sub ject of public discussion In Franco ; there was apparently no' hope for stopping the ter rible slaughter , as all devices invented tx ) forestall accidents proved as useless as the known means for preserving life In the vic tims of shock. f i Finally the minister of public works sought to solve the mystery1 by commissioning the Paris Academy of&Iedlclne to fully investi gate the matter and try to devise some practice of saving the lives of persons affected by electric'shock. The professional gentlemen were especially demanded to rec ommend a inethod-'tllat was at once simple anil capable of execution at a moment's notice and by any Intelligent person on band. " t The academy selected a committee of elec trical experts to report on the case > and the committee began Its labors under the presi dency of Dr. A. D'Arsonval , well known on the other side of the ocean as an authority in all matters connected with electricity. Hero follow extracts from the paper drawn up , together with the full text of the In structions siven out : TWO SOHTS OF ELECTRICAL DEATH. Dr. D'Arsonval first explains that elec tricity occasions death of two different sorts : (1) ( ) by the disruptive and electrolytic effects of the discharge , causing Injury or destruction of the tissues ; this death is final ; (2) ( ) by arrest of respiration and syncope caused by excitement of the nerve centers. In the latter case there are aio material In- lurles and death Is merely apparent. In both cases the shock may bo of the nature termed "heavy. " "Heavy shocks" have heretofore been gen- srally considered "suns death , " on the sup position that the'current produces a contrac tion of the arteries through Ita Influence on iho nervous system , and that this causes an overpowering impediment to the flow of the blood which tha heart Is unable to over- : ome. But this Is true only If the victim Is left unaided for a considerable time , or If his would-be rescuers cease their efforts at too early a period. "Tha writer , " continues Dr. D'Arsonval , "haa always maintained that even the vic tims of very heavy shocks as Ion ? as the tlssuey are not deetrcyed may bo resuscitated by means of artificial respiration. I learned this fact by numerous experiments , and the report of a typical accident In which my method was successfully tried confirmed all I over entertained for It. Addressing , as I do , these suggestions to practical workmen , I think It best to append the minutes of the report Itself by way of demonstrating my theories. "The disaster occurred at St. Denis. There \vero throe wires supported by a small post fixed to a wall about eighteen feet above the ground. A workman , who carried with him a telephone wire which he was about to fix , was struck while sitting astride on the lower connecting bar , holding In one hand ono of the conductors and allowing th telephone wlro to trail downward. The moment the loose wire that , by the way , rested with one end on the connecting bar touched another of the three conductors , the currvnt was closed through the man ; It entered by one hand and escaped In short circuit by one but- lock. "Mark , this was a very heavy shock. The man underwent directly the whole tension of 4,500 volts. "Happily the official superintending 'the collector' suspected an accident when the ap paratus issued epirks , occasioned by the short circuit. Ho Btoppad the machinery. How soon after the actual qccurrence of the acci dent the current was , qit off could not bo as certained from any of/the parties concerned. It Is within reason.t ? qsaum ? that the victim underwent the trcmqntlciis current for at least several mlnutoA Pnrhfps six or wvcn. "One of my aE > lsfqnlJ3 arrived at St. Denis from Eplnay about -nvartor of an hour after tlu current had beqn cut off. The man was then still astride on the connecting bar , and no longer exhibited ary signs of life. The first duty was to rple so the bofiy from the awful position. As-imy , | ba Imagined , It wan very difficult to ( nice. , Mm down , and the oper ation tcok at least half-an , hour , though Borne of the workmen we/e provided with rubber gloves. Thus three-quarters of an hour at leant had passed before artificial respiration could bo practiced on tie , ! body. "Thero was no re'sppnso for a long while. Then my assistant tfjought of another method I had advised. lieforced open the man's mouth and loosened his tongue. Almost Im mediately his lungs began to act , and after two hours ho was able to speak , "Thro ? weeks after the accident I caw the man. His burns on the right hand and on the buttock had nearly healed , and no particu lar trouble duo to the passage of the current through the body hid manifested Itself. "A similar case Is reported from Iloches- ter , In the United States. There the foreman - man of the electric company received through ) il body a 3,000-volt current. To all appearances be > was Instantly rendered lifeless , but three other workmen , acquainted with the D'Arsonval method of resuscita tion , saved their comrade by prompt action. "My formula for reviving the victims of electric shock Is this ; A person so disabled should be treated like one drowned , "These are tbo directive rules which not only workmen In electrical Industrie * but every citizen nnd tvory friend of humanity should know by he-art : HBLEAS1NO THK BODY. "Above- nil , brcnk the contact with th * conductor * . It the current can bo Instantly cut off , so much the better ; If not , lo o no tlmo by telephoning or sending messengers , but ripply yourself directly to the body that must bo removed. "In doing so touch not the victim on face or * hands or any naked part of his body. You may try to lift him up by the coattails - tails , or after throwing a blanket or coat around him. Mind , they must bo dry. Also remember that dry wood Is a non-conduc tor. You may use n stick la draw the body over to one side or to hold back a live wire. To lift the victim off a crossbar pass a piece of lumber under his heels and rals-a him up. The same should be done If the body Is In contact with the ground. His feet should bo raised from the earth Imme diately. Any piece of wood or furulturs or cloth will do. "The body should be carried Into the opn or n room where air has free access. All not directly engaged 4n the'work of rescue should bo Instantly dismissed from the * place. The body must bo placed upon the back after the shirt and collar has been loosened. Ilalixi the shoulders and let the head fall back. "Then begin the work of restoring respi ration ; that Is , sotzci both arms and draw thcni energetically over the head , bringing them nearly together nnd holding them In that position for a couple of seconds. These movements having expanded the chest nnd pressed nlr Into the lungs , carry the arms down to the sides and front cf the chest , doubling them up nt the elbows In order to expel the air from the lungs. Continue- this for at least an hour , unless respiration sets In before. "A second Samaritan Should at the same tlmo seize the tongue of the victim It IB well to protect one's finger with a piece of cloth or n glove for thin process and draw It out while the arms nro extended over the head , allowing It to recede when the nrmg are pressed against the elJou of the brrapt. Both of these maneuvers should b ? carried on with as llttlo Interruption as possible. Twenty times per ml mi to Is not too much. "If the victim shows a. tendency to clinch his Ueth keep tlicrn apart by placing a piece of wood or anything handy between them. "H 19 also advised to rub the body with brushes , brcoms nnd cloth In order to pro mote the circulation of the blood. Do not administer stimulants unless a medi cal per -on pronounces It safe to do so. When possible , procure n tank of oxygen gas from thn nearest drag store , and after Improvising R cone , place the tube over the mouth and nose while the gas Is laming. It Is n power ful stimulant to the heart's action under cer tain conditions , and will aid. respiration. " GREAT POWER FROM CULM. Ono of the most Interesting and Important economical problems of th century , says the Illustrated American , is about to bo solved , ajid a practical solution of what semcd a hdpclessly stubborn mechanical difficulty promises to give a source' of power no way Inferior to Niagara falls. Two or three years ago the state of Pennsylvania appointed a commission to Investigate the possible uses of the enormous quantity of culm or coal dirt that has been accumulating In the anthracite rcglcna since the flret mlneu began to be worked. This commission lately reported that the accumulation of culm amounted to 35 per cent of the total output of the coal mine : ) , making 315,700,000 tons of apparently waste material. It Is estimated that frcm this tremendous pile of coal dust , that has kept on growing since ths mines have been In operation , there could easily be evolved an nually 1,100,000-horse power. The Pennsyl vania commission has been convinced by- actual tests that this culm can bo trans formed Into a portable and convenient form of fuel called cggettes by the manufacturers , and , of caurvo , once this part of the problem solved , the rest Is easy. By a process , prob- ? bly patented , the coal dirt Is combined with crude petroleum , pitch and some other ma- Urlal , and the resulting product makes an excellent heat producer which is readily con verted into electrical energy. The Pennsyl vania commission recommends that the state acquire the rights for putting the culm to ths valuable uses of the eggette processes , nnd points cut that in the Scranton district ilona the annual contribution to the culm bank , now regarded , as clear waste , can be- turned Into 7B,000-horso power every year , an energy nearly equal to that supplied by the famous electrical works whoso motive POWEC Is furnished by Niagara falla NEW ELECTRIC RAILROAD SYSTEM. A new system of electric railroad , which combines the advantages of the trolley and storage battery system , has now been prac tically tried in Hanover , which was the first to adopt it. Accumulators are provided beneath - noath the scats of the car , nnd charged CurIng - Ing the time the car Is traveling on the trolley road , receiving current through the same feed wire as the trolley. When the end of the trolley Tine proper is reachad the car con tinues on the track which heretofore had bsn used toy a horse car line , relying for power absolutely upon the electricity stored in the accumulators during the trip over the trolley road. These electric cars are now being used all over the city of Hanover , although the former electric trolley line was introduced In only a small part of it. This system solves a very difficult problem In a very simple man ner , and seems to have a great future In otcre , provided that the storage batteries re tain the keeping qualities as promised by the manufaaturers at Hogen , Germany. A simi lar suggestion is made In a foreign electrical Journal by an engineer named Mueller , but his Idea 19 to use the stored electricity on ufnnn I rm1pfi TO PUOMOTE ATHLETIC SPO11TS.
