Much complaint 18 heard regarding the lighting of the streets according to the Philadelpbia lighting schedule, as it leaves the city in utter and absolute darkness whenever the moon fails to perform its al- lotted work on cloudy or rainy nights, when more than st any other time, artifical il- lumination is needed. On such occasions. tho situation is bad enough o the paved Sireets, but . the unpaved portious of e THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SU e ——— y o NDAY._NOVEMBER 3, 1 889)-~-TWENTY PAGES. oity it is almost impossible for a pedestrian to get around, 7The street crossings aro ankle deep with mud, and woe betido the luckless wight who steps to one side of the narrow wall, as ho {8 in imminent danger of being completely engulted. In some parts of the city the numerous trees tend to intensify the stygian darkness, 80 that thera is not the slightest possibility of making any progress except on a feel- your-way-and-go-slow basia. This is mani- Testly unsatisfactory, and it is not surprising that citizens kick about it. As the oity enters upon another five years’ contract on the 14th of next month, jt 18 a matter of some concern whether or not the same un- satisfactory method is to continue after that vime. The mew contract 18 let upon the same lighting schodule as the preseat one, which provides that during certain hours of the night, when the moon is near the “full,” tho towers need ba lighted. This would not occasion any complaint, provided any assur- ance could be wiven that the moon would at- tend strictly to business on such occasions, but that is just where the trouble lies, and it frequently - happens that when Luna is pro- erly firad upand in good condition to il- rumlnnll‘. the clerk of tha weather slips 10 an jutervening canopy of heavy clouds, and the expected light is not forthcoming. It is with reference to just such occasions that ar- rangements should be made to have the towers on extra time. Inquiry reveals the fact that a vrovision was made for this, but it has not been ca ried out as was intended. Chairman Water- man, of the committee on fire department, faslight and city property, was authorized to order the towe lighted whonever he deemed it neces: on nights when clondy weather obscured the moon. Shortly after that arrangement was made, the aldermen called up the eloctrio light station one even- ine by telephone, and ordered the towers shted, The olectrician had not been - formed of the new arrangement, and repiied that the scheddle did not call for their being lighted until after the moon went down. “the aldermen did not stop to explain tae sit- untion, and have never called for extra lichts since that time. [Ever since then the tower machiue has been kent in readwess, o been run over time, except when the electrician in charge has done so without orders from the ¢ 1t froquently hap- pens that the towers are lighted an hour or two before the schedule time on & dark night when the moon is ed to Light the city but fails to do so, and this is counterb: ed by shutting them down that much ourlier on other occasions when there is a fair light without them. This, however, is due solely to the desire of the electrician to remed defeet as much as possible, It is not 10 be expected 'that the company witl run their machinery and Ligh the towers for soveral hours each month for the wood of humanity and the conveni; ning the extra time, satis Ty arrango- ments should be maden r d toit. As the machines are now arrnged at the electric light station, the dynamos thut run the tower and 12 o'clock lights are belted to the same engne, and there is nothing to prevent ing the tower light dynamo ruuning until midnight, whether the schedule calis for light or not. “Phe light need not be turned on unless it is demanded, and the charge may be made in an iostant. ‘Lhe ouly cost to” the company would be the wear and tear on the dynamo, which would be merely nominal, and the power required to run a dynamo “‘empty” is very slight. The company would get in sufii- cient extra time during the month to more tuan pay for the chargo, which, by ths way, is no more than the city has a' right to de- mand, and the company 18 willing to grant.

Bowers, 526 First avenue, e —— A Vgnerable Relic. Mr. Horace Everett discovered a vener- able relic, while overhauling his office the other day, and brought it to Tue Beg office for nspection. It is the bound file of the first issues of the Coun=l Bluffs Daily Non- pareil, from the first issue, January 25, 1862, 0 September 8 of the same year. It was a vigorous dittle sheet, cditea and published every morning by Willinm W. Maynard. 1t was & four-columwn folio. The four pages were 10x18 inches in size, and it was pub- lished in this form until March 30, when it was reduced to a three-column folio, with pages 8x12 inches. The heading was a inminous, artistic affair, representing the American eagle standing on a box in the rays of the rising sun, with his talons clutching a bundle of arrows. On the side and top of the box is the shield and other paraphernalia of the national escutcheon. The box rests upon a tablet that represents a printer's im- posing stone, and the letters forming tho name of the paper are standing upright on the stone on either side of the box. Atten- tion is called to the heading and the artist who made it in an editorial paragraph, which says: ‘‘Our readers may consider the cut at the head of the Nonpareil as a standing puft for William Ward, the ar.hitect, by whom it was designed and engraved. Mr, Ward de- sives us to say thay, ulthough his facilities for engraving ure limited—having no ma- chinery but a jack-knife—yet in the matter of architecture he acknowledges no rival on the slope.”” Mr. Ward is the venerable architect whose last and best work in tho city was the building of the Washington avenue school two years ago. A hint to advertisers, of very sucgestive importance is found in the abbreviated columns. The only advertisers were Dr. W. F. McClelland, who is {now & prosperous physician in Denver; Officer & Pusey, the well known baukers; Rees & Co., wholesale grocers; the *‘compuny” part of which firm is still represented by Samuel Haas; R. P. Snow, dry goods and groceries, who is still a prosperous business man in the city; H. C. Nuttt and N. P, Conant. All of those men are Living, and are prominent and prosper- ous. ‘The railrond advertisements showed that the Burlington had been completed to Ot- tumwa aud the Rock Island to Marengo. The only meauns of reaching the outside world was to stagoe iu to either of these points. The telegraph had been completed tothe city and the Nonpareil announced that 1t had contracted for all the Associated Press dispatches, but the editorial announce- ment one Kriday morning that its editor hoped to get out annother issue by the fol- lowing l'uesday if the telegraph line was re- paired in time to got some news, indicated that the service was mnot up to the present standard. The telegraph courier ore some astounding nows. One dispatch announces the death of General Logan and another the killing of General Sherman.

The local political campaign has been @ very quiet one, outwardly, and there is little effervescence even now, when the decisive day is so near. One remarkable feature has been the absence of any mud-throwing. Early in the canvass Dr, F', 5. Thomas, the republican candidate for the legislature, urged that nothing be said derogatory to the character of either of the democratic nomi- nees. He emphatically declared that he would rather be defeated than to have mean things said, even if they were truthful, about his political opponents, He wanted a clean campaign 80 fur as he was concerned. Dr. Thomus' keen sense of houor aud his man- liness have made him maoy triends in this campaign, althongh he had no lack of them before. 1o has in ull the years of his resi- dence in this county so conducted himselt that the prospects are excellent of his secur- ing the title of which he i 80 worthy— “Honorable,” A in the legislative contest, so with tho other patrons of the local ticket. There has been a good deal of earnast work, but it h been rather a still hunt for votes.

Sheafe & Co. — ——— In the So Whirl The past week has been a lively one in Council Bluffs social circles, and pleasure's devotees have been kept busy. On Tuesday ovening the Royal Arcanum gave the first of its series of parties for 1880-90, and it was up to the high standard of its predecessors. These parties have become the synonym for pleasure unalloyed, and the liveliest intorest is taken in them. The initial ball this soa- s0n was most auspicious and augurs well for the rest of the series ‘Thero were over two hundred guests prea- ent. Dancing was the order of the evening: An elegant spread was by no means one of the least attractive features. The next party will be given on the 14th inst. A very pleasant little affair was the card party given by Miss Anna Patterson, Thurs- day evening, at her home on Fourth avenue. About a dozen of the intimate fricnds of the hostess were preseut. Choice refreshments were served. A very delightful party was given Thurs- day evening at the elegant residence of Mrs. 1. M. Treynor, on First avenue, It was a “‘ghost party” at which the mem- bers of the P, 5. O. were sumptuously en- tertained. It was quite an_event, and was but another instance of how fortunate mem- bers of this mystic organization are unduly favored. The Married Ladies Progressive High Five club was most pleasantly entectained by Mrs, Judge W, C. James, on Third avenue, Thars- day evening. A number of most delightful evening are anticipated by this club during tho coming scason, and if Thursday night's entertainmont is uny criterion by which to judgo, they will not be disappointed. The Trinity Methodist church social, at the residence cf the pastor, Rev. L. Alexan- der, on Eighth streat, was another attrac- tion Thursday evening. Although there were several other attractions, there were quite & numbsr present and a very enjoyable evening passed. A large numbher of friends were delight- fully entertained at the home of Mrs. P. . Mikesell, No, 2303 Avenue C, on the occasion of the hostess’ forty-ninth birthday, on Thursday evening. The enjoyment of the large nunber of guests was most assidu- ously looked after, and the evening was rarely enjoyed. ——— Gray's Perjnry Oase. The case of State vs David Gray, chargzed with perjury in falscly swearing to the in- formation churging Jacob Sims with being the owner of certajn property on Lower Broadway, leased for saloon purposes, was called in Squire Barnstt's court yesterday, but the defense took a change of venue to Squire Schurz's court. The case was tr during the afternoon. G. F, Boulton, Gr: attorney, who hag been 8o merciless! “horsed” by the entire bar and sat dow upon by the courts since he has been pre- tending to get saloot injunctions, had evi- dently begun to thiak that something was out of gear with his abilities as an attorney, and had secured the services of Colonel Sapp to help him ‘through the case. The doughty coloncl-apparentiy felt ashamed of the compuny he was in, but soon forgot about it as the case warmed up and he tried for all there was in ft. Several witnesses were examined, showing that the history of the case was as _previously published. All of the evidence in the case was submitted, and court then adjourned. The arguments will be submitted to-niorrow. G. .F, Me- Cabe is conducting the prosecution. A S The Calls of the Churches, Trimty Methodist Church, South Main street, opposite Eighth avenue.

WHEN EDISON WAS UNKNOWN How the Great Inventor Surpriced the Boston Telegraphers. HE BULLDOZED THE COUNT. An Exploit of a Well Known Charac- ter of the Days of Henry Olay— Greely Got the Word—Cars rent Anecdotes. ‘Who Is Tom Edison ? Thomns Kdison had been 1n several western telegraph offices, where he was looked upon asan ' export, and was at length ordered to Boston to fiill a vacancy, says the Youth's Companion. The weather was warm and he donned linen clothes and a broad-brimmed hat. Before he reached Boston the weather turned cold and stormy, but just as he was, linen duster and all, he reported ut the telegraph office. He walked into the superintendent’s room and said, ‘“Here I am.” The superintendent looked the young fellow over with a critical eye and askel, *“Who are you?” *Tom Kdison,” was the reply. “Who's Tom Iidison?” The young operator explained that he had been ordered to report for duty, and the superintendent told him to sit down in the operating room. His ad- vent there created considerable amu: ment, and the operators gnyed him not a little. Edison sat quietly, making no outward sign of disturbance. An hour or more passed, and then a New York sender, noted for his swiftness, signal- There was no one to re- ceive his messnge, the oporatovs all being otherwise engaged. Lot the new fellow take hjm,” suid the superintendent. Young Edison sat down at the instru- ment, and for four hours and a half wrote out messuges in a clear, round hand, stuck a date and number on them, and threw them on the floor for the office boy to pick up. The time he took in numbering and dating were the only moments he was not writing out trans- mitted words. Faster and faster ticked the instru- ment, and faster and faster i 1i- son’s fingers, till the rapidity with which the messages came tumbling out attracted the attention of other opera- tors, who, when their work was done, gathered around to witness the spocta- cle. At the' close of four hours and a half, and of the New York business, theve flashed from New York the salu- tation: *‘Hello!” “Hello yourself!” ticked back Edi- n. **Who are you?” sounden the instru- ment. *Tom Edison,” was ticked back. “Tom Edison, 'm glad to know you,” came over the wires. ‘“You are the only man that could ever take me at my fastest, and the ficst man that ever sat at the other end of my wire for over two hours and a half. I congratulate the office in getting you there The young man in the limp duster and slouch hat had won his first laurels in the Boston office. He was never guyed after that first d Count de Arnaud, the well-known Russian, writes the Washington cor- respondent of THE BEE, recently re- lated to your correspondent an experi- perience he had with the historically notorious Bob Hickman, which is typic- ally characteristic of that great wag. “When I first came to Washington, in 1857,” said Count de Avnaud, “I put up at the old National hotel, and im- mediately sought the acquaintance of Henry Clay, to whom I bad a letter of introduction from one of the highest government officinls at St. Petersburg. I found Mr. Clay in his private room av the hotel, and alter a long talk with him we strolled into the lobby of the hostelry. I could speak very little English, and having a very foreign atmosphere immediately attracted the attention of Bo Hicliman, who was one of the crowd of hangevs-on around the place. He appronched me in great di nity, and said with the cour i Frenchmar “You are a stranger heve? I believe you have just arrived from Russin?” “Yes, sir,” Lreplied, “I havo just ar- rived from the capital of Russia.” Well, sir,” continued Hickman, ‘it is customary for strangers arriving to give me money.” *The air of the man and the extreme earnestness with which he spoke im- pressed me that he was a head-tax col- lector or a* passport censor, like we have in Russia, and I presumed that the immediate payment of any demand he might make was necessary. I noticed Mr. Clay, who stood only o short dis- tance from me, smile blandly as be watched the interview which Bo Hick- man was_holding with me. Finally 1 said: *How much must I give you? It is customary,” said Hickman, “to give me from one to five dollars.” “I thought. [ 'would show myself princely and immediately placed a iive dollar ‘coin in the man’s huand and turned to Mr. Clay, who expressed as- tonishment that I should have suffered myself to be bled as T had, Greatly to my surprise Bo Hickman approached Mr, Clay, and making a profound saalam, inquired after his health, I thought T would cap the climax by ask- ing Bo Hlckman to take something at the bar, He declined with great grace, saying that he did not drink, but said he would go into the counter and pro- pose o toast. He did so, and this is what he gave us: “Here's to the American eagle and to tho Russian bear; One's got the feathers and the other's got tho hair; Put them together and they will make 8 — of a pair.” “Pat” Sheedy, the Adonis of the sporting fraternity, was standing on the steps of the Gilsey bouse last night. The last time I suw the promoter of pugilistic enterprises as at Toledo, O., where he fell a victim to the ignorance of astupid Dutchman, whom he had dispatched on an errand, says the Now York Star’s **Man About Town.” *'Pat,” with Champion Sullivan and a corterie of friends was visiting a retired boxer named “Billy” Tate, in Toledo, Hay- ing some important letters that he had forgouten to mail, Sheedy asked Tate to oblige him by sending them to the postoffice by his Dutch waiter, Tate immediately called the waiter, who understood very little Enghish, anda, siving him Sheedy’s letters, told hsm to eposit them in the postoffice at once. When the waiter, with letters in hand, opened the door, Sheedy saw that the rain was pouring down in torrents, and, calling him back, banded him his $25 gilk umbrella, saying: *Dutchy, take this, too, so that the letters won’t get wet.” The Dutchman took the gold-headed umbrolla_and started. In about ten minutes he roturned to Tate's house, wringing wet and minus the fine um: brella. “Dutehy, asked Sheedy “Gone mit’ der loddef don’t got vet,” answered the innocent Dutchman, as he wondered what Sheedy’s friends were langhing at. Sheedy called at the postoftice at once and found that the Dutchman had dropped letters and umbrella into the newspaper box. where's my umbrella?” so dot dey Coming back from the Syracuse con- vention, W. Burke Cockran dischvered a select party in one of the cars engaged in a little game of poker, says tne Now York World. The ante was 1 cent and the limit & cents, but when Cock- ran asked to come into the game Mar- tin, winking at his companions, said: I guess it's too steep for you.” *‘What is it?” asked Cockran. “‘Twenty-five cents ante and 85 limit,” was the reply. I guess I can stand it if you can,” said Cockran. He bought $50 worth of chips and started in to play. They led him a merry dance. Quite a_party gathered around tho players and they were all let 1nto the joke except Cockran, The latter bet boldly, but his associ- ates raisod him every time. Once ho opened n juckpot with a pair of uces, but droppad out when the others ail came in so promptly. Co s $50 was goon gone, and at the end of a couple hours tirey had cleaned him out of all his spare change and #15 more that Mr. Gilroy kindly loaned him. By this time he had doffed his coat and the perspiration was running off him in ull streams. Still he did not want to up, but finally they all declined to loan him any money. He offered his check, but Gilroy, who was acting as banker, refused to wke it. Then the joke was explained, and, on the sottle- ment, Cockran found that he had lost 15, “Great Scott!” he exclaimed, “‘to thinlk that T huve nad all this sweat for $1.15!” He took the joke good na- turedly, however, and the supper will follow. giv In “*Words on Wellington” we have a very remarkable instance given of how absolutely his Franch enemies velied on his honor, says the London Court Journal. *‘Before the battle of Orthez the bridge over the Ga de Pau had Deen passed by the French army. The ike sent a note to Marshal Soult, say- ‘That a battle would, of course, take place on the following day, but that, as it was desirable in the interest of the inhabitants of Orthez not to destroy the bridge. he promised that, if Marshal Soult would abstain from blowing it up, no soldier of the British army .~I|uv|‘\l erossit.’ Soult trusted him, and the bridge is to this day in that the duke, though his unflinching courage was never shaken, lived in ap- preher i n. After his death an officer quartered at Walmer visited the castle and begged for wsou- venir. The servant showing him over the v 2 pointed toa lot of umbrellas and told him to help himsell. He took one, opened it, and found a sword. “*Oh, yos,” said the servant, “there isasword in every umbrella.” “Yes, old Commodore Vanderbilt was a money getter and a money saver,” said an old-time Wall street operator to a select circle of younger men who were watching tho tape 1n a downtown office says the New York World. ‘*‘He looked after the nickels, and the dimes and dollars followed after. It was in 1 I think, when T concluded to take a trip to Europe,and I didn’t want to impair my capitai—wanted to make ex- penses, you know. [ had dealt con- erably in Mr. Vanderbilt's pet New York Central, and had an idea that he would make a deal in it while I was gone. SoIdrew my check for $1,000 shares of Central at the closing price of the duy before. He hemmed and hawed; said he didn’t like to do busi- ness that way. Finally, as a favor, he would do it at 1 per cent below the clos- ing. I agreed. **He was bu y; his desk littered with letters. In those days the government required a ¢ stamp of 5 cents on a contract. Vanderbilt rewrote the put —he wanted it his own way—then he took a penknife and for more than ten minutes he was busy removing the 5 cent stamp on the put I had prepared. Then, with a characteristic grunt of satisfaction, ‘there’s 5 cents saved,” he glued the stamp on the new contr took my check, handed me the put, say- ing, “There’s money for you in this con- tract; good morning,’ and I was gone. In less than ninety days the stock had advanced eighty points, but I had sold long before.” The “cligu now running a corner in October pork has thrown up its hands, a Chicago special to the New York World. Thedecion by the board of trade directors last night that the new pork tendered to Staufler and refused by him was regular for delivery settled the matter, “Old Hutch,” who has re- cently shown somuch intevestin the October deal, was told on the curb last night of the directors’ decision. The old man buttonholed his informant, John Beazley, and proceeded to tell him a little story of a case before a justice of the peace down in Massachu- sets. “The defendant’s lawyer, who knew beforehand that the judge had made up his mind to decide against him, be- gan reading Blackstone, and quoting the law bearing on the case. The judge impatiently waived him nsida.nnd said he did not e to hear the law read. He had heard it before. ‘I know,’ suid the lawyer, ‘that it may not affect your decision any, but I simply wanted to show you what a old” fool Black- stone was.’ The old gentleman was so pleased at the point he had scored aganinst the directov’s decision that he invited all the boys on the curb to go across the street with bim, The first colonel of the First Maine cavalry was bluff John Goddard, an ironsided old lumberman, says the Lewiston (Me.) Journal, Before the var he used to take gangs of .nen into the woods every winter. Late one fall in the *‘fifties” a tall, lank Yankee came into Colonel God- aard’s office and asked for employment s o teamster, ‘Do you know how to drive oxen?” asked Goddard, “I rather reckon I do,” was the bash- ful response. uppose I was o yoke of oxen,” said Goddurd, getting down on “all fours’ on the oflice floor, **and suppose I would not haul, let’s see what you would do to make me come up under the yoke.” The Yankee objected at first, but when he was told that'his winter’s work de- pended upon the trial he took the long ong bradded oaken oxgoud and began flourishing it over the kneeling Gud- dard’s b Hish, Brignt; get up, there, Golden. Come here, Star; gee off, Liru,” he yelled in turn, butn a move did old Goddard make. Finally, getting weary. the teamster inserted the stcel brad into Goddard’s trousers, The coming cavalry colenol got up in & hurry, and the Yankee hired at his own pricey proving the best teamster in the gange When the cavalry regiment was organd ized the humorous teamster went to the front as a privato, and when he fell fighting under Grant he had a setof epauletts on his shoulders. To Wilkie Collins, from New Yorl, under date of Januury 12, 1868, Mr, Dickens wrote, says the Philadelphia Record: “‘Being Boston Iast Sunday, I took it into my head to goover the Medical School and survey the holes and corners in which that extraordis nary murder was done by Webster, There was the furnace and all the grim spouts and sinks and chemical applie ances and what not. At dinner aiters ward Longfollow told me o terrific story, He dined with Webster within a year of the murder, ono of & party of ten o twelve. As they sat at their wine Waobster suddenly ovdered the lights turned out and a bowl of some burning material to be placed on the table, that the guests might sco how ghostly it made them look. As each man stared at the rest in the weird light all wore horror-stricken to sco Webster with a ropo around his neck, holding it up over the bowl, with his head jerked on one sido and his tonguo lollod out, ropres senting a man being hanged!” Representative White, of Illinois, who arose to & question of privilege last spring to deny thoe printed report that he had drank water from o fingers bowl at a fashionable dinner, is again reported in a protesting mood, says the St. Louis Republic. While attending the Chicago exposition a few days ago he strolled into a fashionable restaurant and callea for oysters.

On one of Mr. Greeley's visits to father, who was at that time living in Pennsylvania, he consented to meet a number of his admirers living in the then sprucely settied neighborhood, and :Il]tfil','H them from the desk of the his county school-house.
