From the Louisville Commercial. In the electric lighting field the total capital invested in the United States is given as over $500,000,000. The number of plants, public and private, is over 10,000. The number of motors in use is estimated at 500,000, and their value at about $100,- 000,000. The electrical apparatus used in running {8 estimated at $100,000,000, and the value of the electrical elevator industry will probably not fall short of $15,000,000. The most important of all the electric in- dustries, however, is that of electric rail- ways. In this field the investment is very great, and in the United States is repre- sented by a capitalization of over $700,000,- 000. The number of trolley cars in use is now over 25,000, and these run over 12,000 miles of track. The elgctrit railways rep- resent more than 90 ger gent of ‘all the street and suburban railroads of the coun- try. ee t The aggregate of all'the ¢apital invested in electric lighting, electrié railways and electric power is abolit $1,500,000,000,000, and this does not include the value of es- tablishments that mamufacture the ma- chinery and apparatus’: As’many of these are among the largest industrial enter- prises in the world, nearly all are concerns of considerable magnitude, it is evident that their combined capital will run up into large figures. ————_-e- —___—_ Cost of Postal Service. From the Boston Herida. The postal service of the United States costs $9,000,000 a year above receipts, while that of Great Britain yields a profit of over $14,000,000, that of France nearly $10,000,- 000, that of Germany $6,000,000, that of Russia $8,000,000, and that of even India and Jap&n $1,500,000. About the only other nations whose postal service does not pay expenses are Canada, Norway, Siam, Chile, Peru, Bulgaria and Bolivia. This deficit in the United States is largely caused by an interpretation of the law that carries in the mails an enormous amount of printed mat- ter at a sum greatly below the cost of go do- ing. Repeated efforts have been made to repeal it, but a Wonted’ theis een! lobby has pre- BARHARBOR GAYETIES Housewarming of the New Ladies Club, WAS AN OVERWHELMING SUCCESS Where Many Prominent in Wash- ington Society Are Staying. —_—_.+—___ NOTABLE ENTERTAINMENTS Correspondence of The Evening Star. BAR HARBOR, Me., July 28, 1897. The motto of the new Ladies’ Club might properly be “If ‘t'were done "t'were well ’t’were done quickly.” No sooner had they decided—“jumped at a conclusion,” the mcn would call it—that they wanted a club on the shore, than, presto, it is theirs.. I am pleased to announce that on Tuesday afterncon the “Ladies’ Club” held an over- whelmingly successful reception to 300 guests in brilliant array, and that no more auspicious occasion has been known for many seasons. The pretty rooms, includ- ing a tea and music room, a card room, hung with a serial picture story of a Span- ish bullfight; a writing room, comfortably arranged for either serious work or play, and the dressing rooms upstairs, were ail set with ferns and flowers. The tables were spread with punch, tea and lemonade, an orchestra played “catchy” airs, and everybody said ‘charming, my dear;” “lovell “delightful,” “immense,” etc. Henry Drayton, chairman of the committee, received, assisted by Mrs. Burton Harrison, Mrs. James Gerard, | Mrs. J. Madison Taylor, Mrs. Herbest Par- sons and Mrs. Cadwallader Jones. Over on the piazza of the “reading room” a few unconverted men regarded the gay scene with sniffish disapproval, but most everybody was happy. Kebo Valley Club held dinner dance Saturday mund Pendleton preside the customa night. Mr. E , and others who ve dinners were Mr. Blair, Mr. Frank Ellis and Dr. Scely. In the theater after Ginner dancing took place, many Washington soctety people being present. The Danish minister, Mr. Constantin Brun: Dr. Wagner of the Austro-Hungarian le- gation, M. Brandao of the Brazilian lega- tion, M. Trubert of the French embassy. M. Trubert was guest at dinner of Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Pendieton. Miss Nathalie Barney, wearing a white gown of graceful design, having a picturesque scarf of scar- let that floated about her as she danced, was undoubtedly belle of the evening. Monday evening the Malvern Hotel gave a hop at which all the smart set were Miss Ethel Davies of York, Bradley-Martin of New Yor visitor of her aunt, Mrs. Rochester of Washington, was among the jancers.

Meron, the minister of Argentine Re- ic, is expected here shortly. The Indian Encampment. Among the quaint places in and about Bar Harbor where visitors find amusement is the Indian encampment, where a strong- ly marked tribe of redskins abide. Their dwellings are a row of single-room wooden cabins with sloping roofs, in which they ply their trade of weaving fans and bas- kets of gay-colored dyed grasses, sewing moccasins and constructing photograph frames and trays of birch bark. There is a fortune teller among them, who reads the cards for a consideration, and dozens of bare-legged little children, with streaming cold-black locks, who play audience to everything that occurs. It is quite the con- ventional thing to take home trifles of their gaudy wares as souvenirs of Bar Harbor. Re t Notable Entertainments.

It is needless to say that the juége answered in the affirmative, for this is his business. The G. C. Hopkins, and ais compan- fon answered to the name of Lillian Hop- kins. “Are you related to each other?” In- quired the judge. “Slightly,” are man and wife.” Judge Herr naturally asked him his rea- sons for being married again, and the stranger related a very remarkable story. He stated that they were married five years ago in the city of Chicago, and have celebrated their wedding anniversary each year by getting remarried. “My wife and I entered into an agree- reports satisfactory, that the season will expeditions all-wool blanket: fittin, flannel lined; three suits responded the visitor.
