10 LAYING OF CONDUITS Right of United States Company to Make Extensions. HEARING BEFORE COMMISSIONERS Arguments by Counsel of the Rival Corporations. DECISION THE RESERVED The right of the United States Electric Lighting Company to extend its conduits up 9th street, and the jurisdiction of the Commissioners in the matter of granting a permit therefor, was the subject of a Ysearirg before the Commissioners this morning. When the application was made for a permit for this extension, it was un- derstood that the United States company was seeking to parallel the conduits of the Potomac Electric Power Company and it was believed it would follow this by underbidding its rival for the lighting of Streets when the time came for reletting the work. As has been stated the application was followed by protests from the Potomac Company. So important did the Commis- sioners consider the application that they called upon their attorney for a legal opin- fon. Both sides presented several briefs before the attorney submitted his opinion, and it was scme months before the question was finally decided by that officer, he ac- knowledging the right of the United States Company to extend its conduits to the sud- divisions named in the act of Congress acknowledging the jurisdiction of the Com- issiorers and pointing out they had no urse open to them but to approve the applicaticn. This was all set forth ex- clusively in The Star at the time. Public Hearing Asked For. The opinion of the attorney was followed by an application from the Potomac com- pany for permission to be heard before final action was taken by the authorities. This was granted, the hearing being set for this morning after a postponement from last Tuesday. Both companies were represented in the beard room this morning, when Commis- sioner Ross called the meeting to order. Judge Jere Wilsor, with President A. A. Thomas looked after the interests of the United States company, while Mr. J. J. Darlington represented the Potomac com- pany. Upon agreement Mr. Darlington opened the discussion. ‘He preceded his remarks by a motion to st-ike from consideration in the case the currespondence between Mr. A. T. Britton, ef counsel for the United States company, and Senator MeMillan. This correspond- ence proved of vital importance to the case, since Senator McMillan, who ts understood to have drafted the legislation, supported the contention of the United § pany, and broadly stated the intention of Congress, which authorized the extension of the conduits of the United States com- pany. Mr. Britton, in his letter to Senator McMillan, reviewed the contention of the two companies and asked the seuator to enlighten him upon the intent of Congress. Senator MeMillan’s Letter. Senator McMillan responded as follows: “Replying to your letter of October 10, I would say that my understanding of the legislation in regard to electric light- ing was this: When the latest Distric' appropriation bill was pending in the Sen- ate the Potomac Electric Company had conduits in (or in process of being put in) a number‘of streets for public lighting, I this corres- pondence should not be considered in decid- irg the case, since the exparte statement of and also had certain overhead wires west ef Rock Creek. The United States com- pany had certain rights to extend its con- duits to the northern suburbs, but the Commissioners had never answered appli- cations for permits to exercise these right Congress undertook to make Guits of the Potomac company, subie the decision of the courts as to per legislation, and to sanction for a certain length of time the overhead wires of the Pctomac company west of Rock creek; ard on the other hand Congress undertook te provide definitely for the enjoyment by the United States company of its already Ss conduits north- bill. granted rights to extend ward to the suburbs specified in the ‘The present question, therefore, apy me a simple one. When the Unite: ccmpany asks for a permit to cxteni any of its existing north and south conduits into one of the suburhs enum think {it is asking to exercise right the law of 18% grants and the law of Is¢ confirms.” Objects to Consideration. Darlirgton contended Mr. one senator was not sufficient to construe an act of Congress. Conceding the ac- qvaintance of the Commissioners with the he argued against the application, caiming that, if granted, the United States Company would have the right to extend its conduits into and through every street in the city subject to its conditions. First, that the new conduits shali begin at an ex- isting conduit, ard, second, stop at one of the subdivisions named in the act. He cited the law relating to conduits— the general conduit system—and said: A permit to ‘the United States ‘Company would be in direct violation of the act quoted. Commissioners’ Right. Replying to a query from Commissioner Ross, Mr. Darlington said he thought the Commissioners should designate the route to the subdivisions. That the United States Company had stated frankly it did not want to light the subdivisions, and its ap- Plication for that privilege now on file amounted to nothing. In other words, while the United States Company had the Power to exten¢ its conduits to the subdi- visions for the purpose of lighting them, it was for the Commissioners to designate the route. In conclusion, Mr. Darlington said where a statute was capable of two constructions, one in favor of the citizens and the other opposed to their best interests, the con- struction in favor of the city should be ac- cepted” Further, it would be better for the authorities to defer any action upon this “pplication until Congress convened. when the subject could be taken up and all am- biguity made plain. Judge Wilson Replies. Judge Jere Wilson followed. ~ He caliea attention first to the protest, which came from a rival compary. Taking up the law; the one of June 11. 1896, he said the matter was plainly set forth, and that Congress knew the situation of the subdivisions, of the rapidly building up sections, which needed Ights, and specifically set forth into which of those important sections the con- duits should be extended. There could be no doubt of the intent of Cengress upon this matter. It was pointed out that the act of 1896, which granted the U. S. Company permission to extend its conduits to certain subdivisions, was reiterated in the act of March 3, 1897, and the deficiency bill of June, 1897, so that it ‘Was absurd to contend that Congress did mot know what it was doing. It was as plain as the English language could make it, counsel sald. There was no ther construction. ‘Touching the letter of Mr. McMillan, he said t was of the greatest importance in this case, since he was familiar with the intent of Congress, having drafied the legislation. Question as to Conduits. Commissioner Black asked the dircct question from what conduits existing at the date of the act would the United States Company claim the right to extend, if the permit were granted, and if the company claimed the right to make house connec- tions. Judge Wilson stated he thought the United States Company had the right to extend any of its north-bound conduits. He had not thought of the subject of heuse connecticns, but would say on his own recollection of the law that such a Fight existed. President Thomas named the following conduits. which might be extended: Con- recticut avenue, lith, 16th, 15th, 14th, 13th, 12th, 10th and 9th streets, respectively. Mr. ‘on, in closing, referred again to Senator McMillan’s letter, and ventured the opinion that the senator if asked the question if the legislation had the effect and was intended to permit the extension of the business of the United States Company and limit the Potomac Company in the ex- tension of its conduits he felt certain a different reply would be received. The hearing closed with the promise on the part of the Commissioners to give the matter due consideration. —— A MILK DEALERS’ CONFERENCE. ‘The Question of the Proper Measures to Be Used Discussed. The milk supply of Washington was rep- resented at the Commissioners’ office this morning by a delegation of dealers who called to confer with the Commissioners on the subject of measures for milk. The following dairies were represented: Bellevue dairy farm, Harry W. Blunt; Sharon dairy, Corbin Thompson; National dairy, J. W. Gregg; Belmont dairy, E. P. ‘Thomas; Evergreen dairy, F. R. Horner; ‘Thompson's dairy, John 8. Thompson, and Walker Hill dairy, W. A. Simpson. It was the recent position of the Com- missioners that milk sold in bottles as measures was subject to the inspection and official seal of the sealer of weights and measures that stirred these dealers to ac- tion. Investigation had proven some of the bottles short in quantiy, and the attorney for the District having given as his opinion the jurisdiction of the sealer over these bot- tles, the authorities set about to devise some means whereby the public would be protected against short measure. There was no disposition on the part of the dealers to fight the order. They were all agreed on that, and expressed a desire” to arrive at some conclusion, claiming no purpose on their part to give short meas- ure. S The hearing this morning was held in Commissioner Wight's private office, since he has the subject under his immediate supervision, and the result of the confer- ence will be presented to the board of Commissioners !n the form of 2 recommen- éation for their action. Acting Sealer Miller presented several plans for stamping the bott!es. One show- ed a leaden plug clinched on the inside of the bottle, te beer the sealer’s mark: un- other the stamping of the cover. while two forms of neck hands, which could be easily stamped, presented. Another provision showed a thickening of the glass on one side of the jar, with an inverted conical shaped depression into which a tin tag could be insertea. While nocking definite was decide: dealers all , the ked for time to gez rid of ‘ock of bottles !n the event Leing adopted. -urging the unfairness of compelling them to throw awey the hotties uoew in use. The del. . it the suagestion of Commissio: Wight, withdrew to discuss the subject furzhet RIGHTS OF AGENTS. Matter of Signing Applications for Liquor Licenses. Attorney Albert Shoemaker, representing the Anti-Saloon League, appeared before the Commissioners this afternoon to dis- cugs the question of agents signing appli- cations for Jiquor licenses. He contended that, in the absence of specific authority, an agent has no right to sign for an own- er. Recalling the opinion of the attorney for the District, which acknowledged the au- thority of an agent to sign without specific instructions from the owner, he said it Was a construction that should not main- tain, since it gave an agent unlimited au- thority. An agent, he said, might have control of an entire square and the power was in him to grant or refuse a lice license by giving or withholding his sig- havure. Commissioner Ross asked why it Would not be possible to test a case in the Police Court. Mr. Shoemaker said it was difficult to get the District's legal representative to issue a warrant upon the adverse opinion of his superior. ‘The Commissioners prom- a to give the matter careful considera- tion. ed Mrs. Sylvester's Mother Injured. Mrs. Jchn McFal! of St. Louis, mother ef Mrs. Richard Sylvester of this city, was injured in a runaway accident in St. Louis Tuescay. Newspaper reports had it that her injuries were probably fatal, but a dispatch received by Mrs. Sylvester yes- terday proved that this was a mistake. ——__ Earl of Dunraven’s Daughter Married Lady Rachel Charlotte Wyndham-Quin, eldest daughter of the Earl of Dunraven, was married yesterday afternoon at Adare Church, Adare, County Limerick, to Fitz- gerald, the Knight of Glen. Lord Dun- raven gave the bride away. There were six bridesmaids, Lady Allecn May, sister of the bride; Lady Helen Kerr, Lady Beatrice Hare and the Misses Blennerhas- sett, Montague and Strutt. The bride wore white satin, Brussels lace and orange blos- soms. After the ceremony the Countess of Dunraven held a reception at Adare Manor. ——-—— +0 Easterns and Gallaudet.

The sale by auction for debt of the Castle of Nemi, near Rome, belonging to a prom- inert latter-day member of the historic house of the Orsini, shows how Father Time is eating ‘away one by one the great nee of Italy. The staircase of the Bar- rin! Palace is now, I believe, at Mada Tussaud’s, Prince Borghese has lately dis. posed of his library, books from the Co- Jonna collection are now in the possession of. English bibiiophiles. The antique rl. valries of the houses of Orsini and Colonna, originally Guelph and Ghibelline, respec. tively, subsisted for many centuries in the form of'constant strife for power, temporal or spiriegal for wealth and for rapine. The ‘Orsini themselves were famous as far back as the,end of the twelfth century, and Popes, cardinals, warriors and rulers have sprung ym their own and allied stocks. Sull, the world can scarcely be said to have benefited much from their sway. Nicholng III, one of the earliest of this family to be. come pope, stands forth as the originator of nepotism in the Roman Church, chronicler writes: “He was the first of the Popes to seek to honor and benefit als kine, men under color of aggrandizing the church.” The Christian name Napoleon has been borne by the Orsini. ——+s-—— Operating on a Tiger. Frem Tid-Bits. An interesting operation was performed ir. Dublir., some time ago, by Dr. Samuel Haughton. A magnificent tiger, one of the finest arimals in the Dublin Zoological, was threatened with gangrene in the paw. One of its claws, becoming distorted, had grown into the foot, and to save the tiger's Ife It .was necessary to cut away the dis- eased portion. The operation was, to pu \t mildly, ae strong net was, in the first place, thrown over the tiger, and in the net he was drawn, struggling desperately, to the door of his cage. Four keepers, each of whom must have been endowed with uncommon covrage as well as strength, then held the cnimal’s paw while Dr. Haughton cut avay the ingrowing claw. Meanwhile the tigress, which had been temporarily placed in an adjoining den, was frantic with rage, flinging herself furiously against the bars in her mad ef-: forts to come to the rescue of her lord and master. When she was readmitted to the tiger’s den, after the operation, she ex- > amined the wounded paw most tenderly, purring the while, and licking her mate as if_to scothe him. Both animals appear to have realized an exciting one. An immensely | is, not awkward. THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1897-16 PAGES, om ex fa ye M Jacket, 90.19, Tailor-lade.

William Allen White in Scribner's. ‘The smallest implement upon a big wheat farm is a plough. And from the plough to the elevator—from the first operation in wheat farming to the last—one 1s forced to realize how the spirit of the age has made itself felt here and has reduced the amount of human labor to the minimum. mie mp inci- who ploughs uses his muscle only dentally in guiding the machine. The man who operates the harrow has half a dozen levers to lighten his labor. The ““sower who goeth forth to sow” walks leisurely be- hind a drill and works brakes. The pester needs a quick brain and a quick hand—bu not necessarily a strong arm, nor a power- ful back. He works sitting down. The threshers are merely assistants to a ma- chine, and the men who heave the wheat into the bins only press buttons. The most desirable farm hand is not the fellow who can pound the “mauling machine” most lustily at the county fair. He is the man with the cunning brain who can get the most work out of a machine without break- ing it. The farm laborer in the west today, where machinery is employed, finds himself advanced to the ranks of skilled labor, and enjoys a position not widely different from that of the mill hand in the east.. Each is a tender of a machine. Grace in Execution. From the Woman's Home Companion. ‘Whenever we use more force than the case requires we are awkward. However untrained our aesthetic taste may be, awk- wardness, our own as well as that of other people, is painful to us; we cannot help its being painful, for from instinct every one abhors waste and desiructioa; every one, even those who are given to it, and every ene loves goor order and economical admin- istration. When we understand, then, that grace is simply economy of force, good manage- ment of our vital powers, the employment of flowing movements which do not break the current of nervous energy for abrupt and angular movements which do break it, will even the most straight laced objector to the art of the higher physical culture hold out against the idea that gracefulness should be cultivated as a valuable factor in_happy, healthful living?

And this was no attudin- izing, but natural, womanly skill. Doubt- less this dexterity is a natural gift, but it may be in a large measure acquired. There are many systems of grace culture in vogue now, and almost every progressive woman spends a little time studying some one of them. The pity is that most of the sys- tems are pure fraud, with probably a grain or two of truth beaten out thin. And even if the system one chooses as a guide is correct theorizing amounts to nothing. Practice is everything, and self-training is a long and tedious process. | Everybody cannot learn to be graceful.
