TABLE OP C MPARISON Figuring on a Basis of.3Q0 Lights for 400 llourk, Our Citizens ore Fur­ nished light for $161,90 less ■, Other Towns Charge. ‘ ■ -For a. given illuminating power the efeptric light costs much less than any other iHummanU * ‘ ;f. Since matches,may be done away., * with’ where electric lamps are in use,' and as there is’no flame to- come in contact with -surrounding ‘wood or other combustible matter or explosive -:gases, the element of danger from lire Fred need far below that of gas or oil laihps. The proper installing, of a plant precludes any possibility of dan­ ger of fire from the wire. Danger to life should be left out of the questionj since the currents used are not of sufficiently high pressure to be,dangerous. An important argument in favor of the electric light in 'yery many in' *instances is the freedom, assured by its Use, from the poisonous carbonic^ acid always given out fromgas flames,, -»Tha heat given off by electric lights ; is inappreciable .compared with that radiated from oil and gas flames, '• ' ; . The steadiness of the ' electric 'light makes it especially valuable for fine mechanical operations, : . The followinggiyeBdata which.show clearly the advantages of the/ incan­ descent light over other illuminate: - Cubic feet of Carbon- ic acid produced - Common g a s , . , . . . . , . . . . . 3.21 Kerosene,.,.,-,,, .«*,,» -3 54 Paraffine..,......... 4.50 t Wax Candle .......... *.........6,90 Tallow Candle....,.,?........ 8*73 Incandescent Elec. Lt,...None. In considering the economy of arti­ ficial illumination, figures pti the mt*" pense oflighting by gas and electricity are^flie best proof that can ■be offered that the latter is the cheapest and there fore the moat desirable method. To illustrate this let ua assume the prob­ lem of a mill (where the engineer can operate thedynnmawithout additional expense) using in one instance 360* 5-foot gns burners, and in the other operating 300 incandescent lamps of 16 candle power each. ; Assuming that the price of gas 1*. $1.50 per 1,000 feet, aud that each burner average 400 hours per year, we fiud the gas used per year to her 300 (Ho burners)x6 (ft per hour)*406 {hours per year) equals 060,000 ft. Of gas, WhichSt 41.00per 1,000Would coat $000.00, The Conditions in the second case are thn tJJ pounds of coal *will prO. duee one horse power oiie hour; thi price of coal $5.00 pec ton; the cost of a 300-ligbt plant installed is $2,200; that the lamps hake a guaranteed life 1,000 hour#, With renewals at $0.75 each. I f 300 lamps are guaranteed for 1,000 hours and burn: but 400 hours per year, this means that they Would last 2£ years or that for 4*10 Of. tfietn' would require to- be renewed each year at a post of $90,00. Thirty horse power would be required for the 800 b.mps as, each '16 caudle power temp.requites 1-lff of a horse power* therefore: 36 (h. p,] x foO(hours per . * y«r)X4J^{lb», of«*l per ’ b. p, in hour) equals341* 000 lbs, ofcoat, which at $3pertonwouldcost.... $ 1*2 60 10 per cant interest and de* pttdftttoft.............

The use of electricity for lighting meaps better light, clean­ er room and pure air, incandescent lamps can be operated in places where it would bo impossible to use gas pr oil lamps; they can be handled with grea^ ease and facility, and can be ex­ tended to cover a larger area, at a lese cost than cold be accomplished by any, other form of artificial illumination. ■ In order that the consumers of elec­ tricity may have some knowledge as to the cheapness that we are furnish­ ing light, we give below figurs which shows that our rate is low, as compared with the above table. ’Our basis of 7 hours per night for 36 nights, or one month, would be 2101hours, at' 50c per Tight per month would be 2,38 mills, cost per light per hour, Using 400 hours as in the above ta^le wo would have 2.38 x 400,. which, gives $0,952, cost^ of one light 400 hours. Then 96,2 cents being the cost of oue light 400 hours, 300 light? would cost 300 x 95.2, which equals $285,60. According to tha above table" there is a saving of $447.50 by using electric­ ity, over gas, thus it can be easily seen that our light is cheaper by $447.50 less $285.50 which is $161.90, This shows the difference in rates as compared .with other towns. 11■» . , BYTHEWAy. 1No portrait of a man ever- appears on Uncle Sam’s coins and no portrait of a woman on his- postage stamps^ That is the reason - we lick the stamp and squeeze the coins. but under the circumstances it weighs heavily yet on his mind. A -mother with several small children as well as several grown ones, was left a widow several years ago and according to law she was eutitled _to $2'per month for each child under age, and this she re-, ceived besidesher own pension ofabout $12 per mouth. Several months ago Bhe left here, leaving her family of children, and it is said has been lead­ ing a reckless life1 ever since. During her absence she continued' to' draw this money amounting to about $20 per month, but never appropriated one cent towards the support of these children. The eldest boy, 22, was forced to provide, for bis younger brothers and sisters, a heavy task in­ deed to assume the responsibility of rearing these little ones. Finally bis means of support grew quite limited, and he was,forced to turn the child­ ren over td the proper officials and they to the county home. I t must be a sad thought indeed for this young man to kuow tbe-the life his mother is living and of the inhuman conduct toward children ot her own blood. Steps are already being taken to have the pension allowed for the children cut off. - 1 - From Official Circles In Greene County’s Capital, REAL ESTATE DEALS.

The pros­ pects for a ; full attendance for the School this year were never better. -A-’cordiaHnvitation-irextended-to-all to bo present on the opening day. David Bradfute is going, to Canada just as sure as there is such a-place, if he stays hy bis word, in regard to the outcome of the fall election. This gentleman of leisure as well ns means has made the statement that if the republicans carry this state ibis fall he will go over into King Edward’s do­ mains to reside, rather than he under republican rule, We should think that David Would lie accustomed by this time after nearly eight years of republican -presidential rule ahd ten years of republican go 'ernor’s rule. Nevertheless, with all this past his­ tory, David, like Zion has “faith,” and believes that he will get to livo under a democratic state rule this fall, Ed Bmith has a hard time, for something is alwaysgoing-wrongs -Ed is one of those good old staunch demo­ crats, and like the great ‘democrat ot all, Cleveland, will go a ffeMng. The other day while wading oxit in the creek for miUnoWs with his pedal, extremities unprotected he ran a nail ihjtohis footahout so many feet. Con* sequently he is travelling about with toes turned Up. But this wasn’t all for Ed went over into the classic pre­ cincts of New Jasper to insure a man’s property, and,on his way home the buggy broke down and he was forced to walk the ehtire distance. This is not the first time Ed has walked from the same burg. I t might be said that be is keeping the pike hot be­ tween Jasper and tbk place. ■, •—o— ■ We have in miifd a young colored man who must have a terrible burden to bear, yet it frw b**» firstly educed , LongerTime at Buffalo.

An additional' year of latin was put in, making..#, three year .course instead of two. A motion was made by"Air Jackson for free school books, but upon .investiga­ tion' it was found that-the board, would scarcely have enough money to • carry through the regular expense, without incurring an additional one, By p^xt; spring the board will be forceVJ^nibrge the present building, ‘ atf the toumber of pupils hasbecome to great for the capacity of the building,; - besides it haBstood some thirty.'years, • luring all of Cedarville’s growth, and lonsequentljrthe board' will have to fdeal With this, problem .h^jet', spring, /which will call for the issuing of bonds- for same. ‘ • This free school book question is something very, important and we' think if presented jn the right manner people would not, as a whole, be in favor of .it. At the present time the board are furnishing books free to those who are not able to buy. Next, what kind of a man -is bo that would' not buyhooks for his children’s educa­ tion when same is being procured at such a. trifling sum? Howwould you like to have your child preseutcd|with a book or books that had just come from, the hands of a family that .live in filth and dirt? We venture Jo say there.lsnota parent hut what would take this « b a direct insult. All can­ not have books from the best families, . some; must put up with the dirty, greasy, hook or Tbuy one. Since this qnestion was brought up we had the privilege of conversing with a citizen of a neighboring city, on the above subject, aud we give as near as possible his statement: “While free books are k good thing for a cer­ tain clam of citizens yet two-lhirds of . the parents have children whom they respect, they provide their own books, for the reason that many diseases are given to children itt this manner. He cited one case where a child was pre­ sented with a covered hook which had ' passed through rough hands, the par­ ent being anxious to*know who had it previous,-found it to be from a family that were Hying in the most destitute circumstances, aud upon examination it was further found that two of the children were suffering with the filthy disease known as “phthiriasls.” On examining the book evidence of this same disease was found . therein”, How many mothers ' 'ould welcome a hook of this kind? Not only is there likely to he one or two, but mote, as these hooks are all packet} away in the - same ptece when not in use, ' Whoever is not able to furnish hooka for their children, upon application the board will gladly do so, and Will still have free books to those Who need them. , » Leaks at .the tap, The fire engine whs taken out Mon­ day and the cisterns about town filled.
