In the city has done a good deal of sponging on these two institutions. When- ever any one without friends or means has met with an accident he has been taken right to the hospital and cared for by the management until he was past the need of furthe istance. Several years ago it was customary for the city council to pay all bills for such medical attendance, but of late the finance committee has been refusing to allow the bills, and the ladies, who find it hard enough to make both ends meet at best, are compelled to do for charity's sake what should righttully be done by the city. A petition has been pre: cil asking that the sum be laid aside out of the month to keep a bed in for emergency cases at each pitals. This petition has been a committee with instructions to confer with the county board of supervisors. It is claimed that the object in thus referring the petition was (o let it drop out of sight as soon as possible, but those who are agi- tating the matter say they mean to keep after the council until the desired arrange- ment Is made. Some of the city council claim that it is the duty of the county board to pay for all such hospital service, but City Physician Macrae says that it is a mistake. “The county,” he yesterday, “has to take care of smallpox cases only, or cases of that kind, where a patient, if allowed to run at large, would be likely to endanger the health of the community. In cases where a man has broken his leg or met with an injury of that kind, I have no right to take him to cither of ‘the hospi‘als and expect them to take care of -him for nothing.

VAVARA'S NEW DRY GOODS STORE 142 Broadway, Opposite Ogden House, Fought Four 1 hug Henry Bennett, a young railroad man who has just arrived i the city, had a hot ex perlence last Thursday night with four high waymen, who tried to hold him up just after he arrived at Avoca at 10:10 o'clock. As a result there is not a patch the size of a nickel on his face that Is free from bruises or cuts, but he has the satisfaction of know- ing that he gave at least of them a severe headache. In passing by a train of freight cars he was set upon by the quartet who demanded his “stuff.” tle refused to glve it up, and they grappled. As Bennett went down his hand fell upon a coupling pin and he pickid It up and let one of them have it squarely on the top of the head. He stunned the fellow, and from that time on he had it with the other three. Coupling plns were freely uscd, and fists flew back and forth, but at last' the highwaymen got him down and kicked him in the face & eral tines, In spite of it all Bennett saved THE OMAHA DAILY BEEZ SUNDAY, AUGUST 12, 1894, in cash, for pursued’ and to declar the tim watch his gold and about $25 the thugs ht they were skipped before they had a enance a dividend with him.

Fad that Has Wushington Dby the Mouth. With the mercury playing among the 90's it seems remarkable to relate that Wash- ington is just now in the height of a snow- ball carnival. Snowballs are seen ever where, writes a correspondent. The windows of every bake shop are filled with them, con- fectioners of high and low degree find it profitable to advertise them, and they are hawked about the streets by men, women and children. One boy, with an enterprise which marks him for future business suc- cesses, has brought a goat and tiny cart into servies, and gocs about the city with a generous supply of this Washington delicacy. As snow Is not a product of this climate, some explanation of this remarkable visita® tion would scem to be necessary, The dis- covery was made by some unknown genius carly in the season that a ball of crushed ice plentifully besprinkled with essence of vanilla_cr lemon or strawberry or choco- lite was a pretty good substitute for nec tar such as the gods were supposed to be fond of. He began manufacturing these balls, and when the population grasped th idea it took a fresh hold and called fo more. Now there s almost an avalanche, The originator of this ingenious plan of combining coolness, swectness and stomach trouble In cne 1 ball may never get his reward, but the dealers in candies, who find their trade practically at a standstill with the advent of the snawball, would be willing to unite and retire him from all connection with mundane affairs. “It {8 astonishing 'what a hold t fernal concoction has upon this community. sald a well known candy wholesaler to the writer. “In all parts of the city our sales have dropped off perceptibly since it started on its rounds and I don't expect to see any improvement until cold weather comes. We do all we can to discourage the sale of this penny-catcher, but the children of the town seem to be wedded to It and their elders encourage them, possibly for the reason that It is cheap. I hope to see the craze die out before the beginnivg,of another summer.” At a colored chureh In this city a night or two ago there was a crowd in attendaice upon a ‘“lawn party, snowball and crab festival." England’s Stato Plate. England’s collection of plate state occasions at' Windsor thing fabulous In valug. Its display surprised Russia’s crown prince himself. It generally reckoned to be worth about £2,000, 000, and it is no unusual thing at a state ban quet at the castle to have plate to the value of half a million In the room. There are two state dinner services, one of gold and one of silver. The gold service was purchased by eorge 1V., and will dine 120 persons. The plates alone of this service cost over $12,000. On state occasions there are usually placed on the dining tablo some very beaufitul gold flagons, captured. from the Spanish Armada, which are now, of course, of priceless value while the great silver wine cooler, made by Rundell & Bride for George IV, and welghing 7,000 ounces, always adorns one corner of the apartment, As sideboard ornaments there are pretty trifies in the way of a peacock of precious stones, valued at £60,000, and a tiger's head from India with a solid ingot of gold for its tongue and diamond teeth, - Tea cures 25 cents, arkable in- for use at castle Is somes even is Oregon troubles, all kidoey All drugglats.

These questions are being discussed in_interested quarters, but no satisfactory solution has been offered. It is contended that marketing of the product at distant points as far as Albany will require the consump. tion of an amount sufficient to justify rates against which steam power cannot success- fully compete, Only one publication of importance, Elec tricity, of New York, ventures to question the success of the Niagara Falls enterpris Its views are fortified by statistics to show that in the matter of long distance trans mission the Falls power plant is doomed to meet overwhelming competition. Electricity points out that the cost of rendering the power at Niagara available is enormous and can only be rendered profitable by an erormous output. The estimated cost of the plant is $3,000,000. To pay 6 per cent interest on the invested capital will require an annual income of §18,009, exclusive of main- tenance and losses by wear. The company proposes furnishing power in Buffalo at the rate of $16 a year per horse power for a day of twenty-four hours. To pay the in- tercst alone will require the selling of 12,000~ horse power. Until at least 15,000-horse power is sold at Niagara and Buffalo the plant will be operated at a loss. The moment long distance transmission of high power is a demonstrated fact the Niagara enterprise will meet a competi- tor hitherto in the dark—the culm banks of Pennsylvania. These contain an almost limitless abundance of fuel, requiring no penRe L dovelop.f Thisw poremning 0L antbracite mines accumulating for genera- tions can be utilized in manufacturing clec- tric power at exceedingly low cost. The actual cost of power at the culm banks, near Scranton, Is 1.31 cents per horse power per day, or $3.93 per year of 300 working days. “If power costs $15 pir horse power at Niagara Falls or half that,” says Elec- tricity, “and only per horse power per year ‘at Scranton, or any other of the coal mining towns, how s Niagara to compete with the culm bank over any territory of the same radius?’ Syracuse is as near Scranton as it is to Niagara Falls, so that if power is not produced as cheap at Niagara Falls as at the culm banks the latter would drive the former out of Syracuse and all points further east.” Regarding waterfalls as sources of power Electricity says: “Electriclans—we mean elcetrical enginecrs—have long since realized that waterfalls as sources of power are apt to be Ignis fatul; they look as though they would furnish power for nothing, but too often the fnvestment required to make them available Is so great that the interest on it and the cost of maint:nance make the power cost more than it can be furnished for by steam.” LONG DISTANCE TROLLEY LINES. Recent_dispatches announced the orgaal- zation of a company for the purpose of building and operatingtrolley lines batwe:n New York city and Philadelphia. The projected system Is one of uncommon tagni- tude. It fs not merely a single trunk line, but a network of roads, taking in and ¢ necting all the principal cities in New Jersey. The direct line of the main stem of the sys- tem commences at Paterson, where connec- tions will be made with the electrical strect rallway system of that city at the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western = railroad stalion. Leaving Paterson the road will pass through upper Montelair, Montclair, Bloomfield,Orange, East Orange, West Orange, South Orange, Maplewood, Wyoming, Springfield, Westfield, Millburn, Fanwood and Netherwood, to a con- nection with the present elec'rical railway system in_the city of Plainfield, and thenco through Plainfleld to Dunellen and Bound Brook, crossing the track of the New Jersey Central railroad at Finderne. The road wil continue past Hillsborough station on the Lehigh Valley railroad and Weston station on the Philadelphia & Reading railroad, and through Millstone, Rocky Hill, Kingston, Princeton, Lawrenceville and Trenton Branches will be run to various points. From Trenton the road will pass through Morris- ville, Tullytown, Bristol, Cornwells, Torres- dale, Tacony, Holmesburg and Frankford, connecting at the latter polnt with the exist- ing lines into the heart of Philadelphia, It will also connect at Trenton with a line to be built on the east side of the Delaware to Camden, running almost parallel with the mboy division of the Pennsylvania railroad, and passing through Bordentown, Edgewater park, Beverly, Riverton, Palmyra, and thence into Camden by existing lines. The entire system will comprise about 150 miles of electric railway. This electric rail- way enterprise is to be built, operated and managed by two great corporations—the Cen- tral Jersey Traction company, with a capital of $600,000, and the New York & Philadelphla Traction company, with a capital of $10,000,- 000, PASSING OF THE HELLO GIRL. It the recently organized Harrison Tele- phone company of Chicago shall make good its claims there will be a revolution of the telephone system of that city, which will completely depose the present autocrat of the wircs, the “hello girl” the ex- change. he company, which has been Incorporated with a capital of $4,000,000, on which it ex pects to earn dividends of 15 per cent, prom ises, besides abolishing the girls, to reduce the cost of telephonic service to less than half of what the Bell company charges, and to do away with tolls. An officer of the com- pany thus sets forth its plans “The company has been formed for the ex- press purpose of supplying telephonic service in the city of Chicago and Cook county. W will have one central exchange for the entir county, and there will be no connections substations. You can see how one central station will simplify and expedite business There will be no tolls for surburban towns, as Is the case now, and $60 per annum, ir speetive of plice or distance Inside the county, will be our yearly tariff. (The Bell com pany's rate in Chicago is $125 per year.) Our plant will include our Harrison telephone and the automatic switchboard, on which we hold the patents. Each switchboard is com posed of a dial capable of holding 40,000 numbers. A patron simply has to turn the hand of the dial to the number wanted. There {8 an instantaneous connection made with a larger switchboard in the central office, and connection s automatically made with the number wanted. If that number happens to be busy, the hand on the dial of the first patron fies back immediately. There Is no operator there half asleep or worn out for caring for 100 different ‘phones, no delays and ‘no back talk,’ and what s desired still more, 1o telephone girl to hear what you ar saylng.

Sunday, interesting, are wonderfully significant of what we may expect from its development in the near future. By its ald the footsteps of a fly walking on the sand on which it is placed is clearly heard, and give the sensa- tion of a horse’s tread; and even a fiy's scream, especially at the moment of death, is easily audible. The rustling of a feather or a piece of dress goods on the board of the instrument, and completely inaudible un- der ordinary circumstances, are distinctly heard In the microphone. The ticking of a wateh Is rendered very loud at quite a dis- tance from the receiver. A musical box placed in connection with the instrument transmits so much sound as to render it im possible to distinguish individual notes. current of air blown sharply on the instru- ment sounds like a distant trickle of water. And the rumbling <f a carriage outside the house Is transformed into a very intense crackling noise, not unlika the sound of the burning of pine logs. The instrument in appearance assumes various shapes, inasmuch as the very simplic- ity of its principle admits of its being made of various substances and in almost any form. Al that is necessary fcr its simple working is in having what Is known tech- nically as “loose contact”—that s, an elec- tric circuit whose continuity at some point is capable of being varled. ~ As an instance, then, three nails make one of the best of microphones. Two of the nails are laid on a board perallel to each other, and say one- half inch apart. The other nail is laid across the first two, the latter being mean- time connected to a battery cell and a tele- phone receiver. If a fly, for instance, is confined in a small box, and the latter placed on the beard on which the nails are laid, the slightest vibration caused by the mov ments of its feet will render the unstable contact of the nails still more unsteady, and by thus altering the force or amount of the clectricity which passes will reproduce in the telephone recelver an exact but much mag- nified fac simile of what s taking place in the box. AN ELECTRIC FLOOR PLANER. Applying the lawn mower principle to the making of a planing tool a Scotch engineer Malcolin Sutherland of Dumbarton, has designed a rather unique plece of ap- paratus, consisting, in brief, of an clec- ally driven revolving cutter, mounted In a frame on rollers, which, by means of handles, can be moved about in exactly the same way and quite as easily, it Is claime as the gard:in tool mentioned. The law mower resemblance, in fact, is perfect. The frame, or rather base plate, Is of steel and carries the cutter on its under sid:, while the motor is placed on top and drives th through intervening gear wheels, giv- a speed of 3,000 revolutions per The hind roller of the base is fittcd with eceentric Journals, so that, by moving a lever, they can be raised or low.red and the depth of cut nicely adjusted. The principal field of the machine—the one, in fact, for which it was speclally designed—is the planing of ships' decks, taking off the pitch and in- equalities of the seams of deck plank after being lald and calked. This work has usually to bo done in circumstances of co siderable inconvenience and disagree ness, the carpenter having to go down on his knees, driving a_jack plane before him, together with wood shavings and other things less clean. Ordinary floor planing, however, can obviously be done by the machine with fully as good results, so that it is not neces- sarily restricted to ship yard us ELECTRIC BICYCLE LAMPS orge Mayr of Brooklyn has invented a lamp for bicycles, the power of which is generated from the wheels. The invention corsists in the combination with a bicycle having a sprocket wheel mounted on a hub of one of its wheels, o dynamo-clectr enerator of speclal design, sultably disposed upon the bieycle frame, and consisiing in part of a gearing frame piece, a horizont avmature shaft carrying a pinion, and a train_of gearing mechanism, disposed In the frame piece, the Initial driver of the gearing mechanism being carricd by a shaft having a sprocket wheel mounted upon it and the final driver thereof being udapted to mesh at all times with the pinion on the armuture shaf(; an electric lamp of any approved construction, mounted on the bicycle frame, and circuit connections lead ing from the generator to tie lump.
