Various Views a5 te Their Use—An In- quiry by the Humane Society, Recently officers of the Humane Society have tn- quired into the use of the check rain for haraes. A letter received trom Dr. J. L, Crouse called gtten- tion ‘to the cruel torture of our noble horse by People Who should possess common sense enough to know how tl how painful, how un- natural and cruel the check reip is on its over- head fastening.” Further on the doctor said “there 1s agony expressed in every horse by con- tortion of his noble and beautiful neck. ‘The poor horse goes with his mouth wide open to relieve the terrible pressure of the iron bit on the hard- ened roof of his delicate mouth; his head thrown almost in a straight line with hig hitherto curved neck, causing painful tension on contracting Muscles and painful relaxation of the opposite muscles.” AN EXPERT'S VIEWS. Dr. F. L. Kjlbowe, veterniarian af the Depart. ment of Agriculture, whose opinion was asked re- garding the matter referred to by Dr. Crouse, writes: reid ty opinion the evilgot the tovardraw, check: in are greatly exaggeral your cori ent.

In individual cases, where elther check 1s used to elevate the head to excess, 0 a8 to be evidently cruelly painful, 4 warning would, I think, be in order, to be followed by prosecution it the Warning 1s not heeded. But even in indi- vidual cages there fs this difficulty, that an eleva {Hon of the head that 4s very patuful go one animal 4s really or quite natural and easy fot another.” ENGLISH HORSES WITHOUT CHECK REINS. Mrs. A.L. Barber writes to tne society from Paris that in England the cab and draft horses are without check reins both in the towns and in the highways and byways of the country. She says: “very other person in Paris has a dog, but they certainly have no beauty or pedigree ‘to recom- mend them to their owners. ‘The Parts horses are the most dejected, over-worked, Illy-fed and cared for animals we have seen anywhere.” ‘The mandy horses she sawjin Belgium and Holland were particularly noticeable for their size and beauty. fis Bal ‘The Delinquent Water-Main Tax, NO ORDER YET ISSUED BY THE DISTRICT COMMISSION- ERS. As stated in yesterday's Stan, 9 test will be made in the courts of the right of the District Commissioners to require the payment of the waier-main tax upon property delinquent for the same before it will be entitled to a continuance of the water service. It was inadvertently stated last night that an order to this effect had been made by the District Commissioners, but it has since been learned that no order was issued, and the Commissioners have not yet come to a deter- mination in the matter. ‘The notice tssued to property owners required, if a continuance of the water service 1s desired, that the Water-main tax should be pald, or causé shown why not. Aggrieved witer-takers have called a indigna- tion meeting at Shea's Hall, 632 Pennsylvania avenue, at 6 o'clock next ‘Tuesday evening, when they will give expression to their views on the question of the water service of ‘the District, and cost —— District Government Affairs.

Now this seldom happens, al though our battery-room here 1s in @ pertect blaze of flashes, We have conductors and We do not notice the fact.” IN FAVOR OF UNDERGROUND WIRES. “are you then in favor of overhead wires for telephonic and telegraphic purposes?” asked the reporter. “No; Iam as strongly in favor of getting all of the Wires undergroul ag ang one, but T belleve that as the wires go down the rods ‘will go up. It ig a mistaken ideg that the overhead wires are dangerous, although there are 9 hundred ways in which they are objectiqnable. For instance, the contact with the trees, which’ will grow tall, in- terferes seriously at’ times with good work, especially tn wet weather, when the currents show a provoking tendency to ‘glide down to the earth instead of following their legitimate tracks over the wires’ Tam emphatically opposed to allow- ing the electric light wiresto remain above ground in the ex condition in which some are that I have notice While it 1s true that the wires of the Incandescent lamps do not carry enough elec- tricity to do any harm, still, during a storm they might become very dingerus, Especially 1s this true of arcugnting, for which intensely strong currents are required, and or which we have often heard of the bad effects, UNDERGROUND WIRES IN WASHINGTON. ‘Im this department we have been using the underground cableg for nearly four years, and with very satisfactory results, In fact, I am so completely satisfied as to the practicability of these wires for short circuits that I am golpg to do my best to get them lald for our whole system.” “Have you encountered any dimculties in the laying of these wires,” asked the reporter. “on, yes. The whole matter has been a growth of ideas, resulting from experiments and fatlures. We have tried several kinds of cables, but have at last found one that seems to be just what we want.” Here he reached down behind a desk and brought to view a snaky-looking coll of what ap- Peared to belead rope, with half a dozen black Ubreads emerging from one end. “This ts what {8 Called the ‘anti-induction’ ca- ble, ”he resumed. “It carries,as you see, six wires, numbered in order, from this sharp projec- ‘ion, number 6 being the central one. Ordinarily currents would be inducted in each wire, thus destroying the yalue of the cable; this occurs when the wires are ‘bunched’ together without the Insulating substance between them. But Lere the induction takes place directly between the wires and the earth, and in this way the currents are not disturbed. Now the greatest dimiculty With the underground wire is the occurrence of what ts called ‘getardation,’ which 1s the surplu- sage of electricity left in the wire after each pul- sation, and Which destroys to a certain extent lis conductiWty, ‘This does not happen to overhead wires, for the surplus | electricity 1s dis- charged into the air, but as the wire nears the earth, and finally enters it, the aifticulty becomes ‘greater, and we have not yet discovered any means of overcoming tt. But on our circuits, Which would never amount to more than 15 miles in length, it would not be objectionable, ‘This insulating’ material 1s of a very good quality. It {s a distillation of crude Van troleum mixed with cotton shreds, and 1s called ‘ozocerite,’ @ naime which was cotned for the oc- casion.” THE WORK DONE THIS YEAR. ‘How much underground cable has been laid so far?” interrogated the reporter. “This year We have laid about 14 miles of wire, or nearly 4 miles of cable, or ‘trench’ as we say ‘| In all there are now about'25 miles of cable, mak- ing a total of 534 miles of trench. This has cost in the neighborhood of $12,000. There are yet 500 Iniles of Wire to go down, but this will not cost in the same proportion, since in many instances we Will be enabled to plice several cables in the same trench.” “By means of the work this year,” he continued, “we have rid the streets of three liues of poles—oné on 12th street west, from New York avenue to the Boundary; one on th street, within the sau Mmits, and one on H street, between 2d and 10th Streets northeast. We hope to continue the good work until the District will not have a stick above round. Teall ita ‘good work,’ for I believe It to such.

VERY PRETTY AND DEFIANT. Marper’s Favorite Clerk a Prisoner Where She Visited Him. ‘THE PROSPECT IS THAT SHE WILL STAY THERE UNTIL HARPER QUITS HIS STEEL CELL FOR THE TRIAL ‘ROOM—HOW JOSIE HOLMES BECAME THE AUTOCRAT OF THE FIDELITY BANK. From the New York World of to-day. ‘Miss Joste Holmes, the pretty exchange clerk of the defunct Fidelity National Bank, who was ar- Tested on the charge of haying aided Vice-Presi- dent E. L, Harper in his fraudulent doings, occu- ples the same room that Harper recently had in the county jail, She 1s by far the prettlest and most interesting prisoner that ever was behind the bars in Cincinnati. She has a Stately figure, fair complexion, and dark hair and brilliant brown eyes. She 1s about twenty-five years old, and was born in that city. Her parents were respectable, but without means, Several years ago her father died, and Josie became the sole support of her mother. She was amanuensts for a Spiritualist and healing medium, and no word was breathed against her while ste was tn that employ, nor ‘ubtil after the collapse of the Fidelity Bank. When the Fidelity Bank was Harper ad- vertised for a youl woman exchange clerk. Among those who seplied for the plaee Was Some Holmes. Harper engi er at Once. Kk was placed near his office door. She was very bright, and Peet her duties so acceptably that in a ttle while her salary was incre: from to$1,200.a year. It did not require any spe- cjal sagacity on the part of the other clerks to see that Harper was very partial to Miss Holmes. He fzequently consulted her. She was the autocrat of the bank. The clerks say that they Once saw Miss Holmes slap Harper in the mouth, and that he re- tired in bad humor, Dut soon retufned to her desi and asked her pardon. The pretty little home of Miss Holmes and her mother in Avondale was furnished at Harper's ex- pense, and he also paid in advance the rent for élghtéen months. Harper has all along secmed very devoted to his wife and children. He was not a soclety man, and never frequented clube or stayed out late at might. The Fidelity Bank fall- ure brought Miss Holmes prominently before the pubife, ahd all the bits of gossip about her influ- ence over the bank-wrecker were repeated in the newspapers. She never seemed to mind the re- ports, but maintained a calm demeanor, as Amaz- ing as that of Harper, in the most trying moments. ‘The United States authorltes kept dn eye on the young Woman and tio detectives constantly shadowed her. She was summoned to the dis. trict attorney%s oMfce, but pleaded ignorance of u criminal acts of her employer. Still she visited Harper in bls private room at the jail several times, and Was so indiscreet, as to allow him to lock the door to prevent outsiders ustening to their conversation. Was because of the fre- quent meetings of Harper and Miss Holmes that he was transferred to the Dayton fall. When she was arraigned before Cnited states Commissioner Hooper she seemed haughty and de- fiant, but at intervals chatted cheerlty with those around ber. Miss Holmes’ attorney advised her to waive examination, whlch she did, and ‘the bond was fixed at $10,060. The friends of the pretty prisoner did not come to her rescue, nor did she seein to expect that any one would goon her bond. She waited until 5 o'clock, and then with admira- ble coolness announced that she was ready to go ‘wherever they Wished to take her. A United States marshal called a carriage and Miss Holmes entered tt with him and was driven to the Hainiiton County jail. She had been there ‘so often to call upon Harper that she was some ‘whut familiar with the place. She tripped lightly down the stone steps and greeted the jafler with a cordial “How d'y’ do?” 4 pleasant room in the fourth story, in the jailer’s private aparunent: ‘was assigned to the new arrival, and she foun that it was the same room 1a which she had visited her former employer. Miss Holmes’ mother is lying dangerously ill of consumpUon, and ft 13 thought the shock of her daughter's disgrace will kill her. ‘The indications are that Miss Holines will spend the entire sum- mer in jail. It 1s believed that the Government will not force the case against her, but will seek touse herin securing the conviction of Harper. She ts so pluc and bright that {t will be hard to quake her a valuable Witness against him. She does not make Any statements as to her guilt or innocence, and laughingly says: “Let the Govern- ‘ment do its worst.” She does not even attempt to defend Harper, but she refuses to condemn him, Married the Other Girl, A DOUBLE ELOPEMENT AND ITS AMUSING OUTCOME.
