MANNING. "Governor." Following Father. ? When the conversation turned to the subject of romantic marriages this little anecdote was volunteered by H. H. Asker, a North Dakota politician: One afternoon Green was standing on the corner looking at the jitneys when he was suddenly confronted by an acquaintance of other years. Soon they were comparing notes and recalling happy hours. "So you were married ten years ago," said the acquaintance in response to a statement made by ** <<nn 1. ?l : ? at _^-u orowu. xuuk pittc? iu me cuuruu, I suppose, with bridesmaids and flowers, cake and the brass band." "No," answered Brown, with a reflective expression, "it was an elopement." "An elopement, eh?" returned the * x acquaintance. "Did the girl's father follow you?" "Yes," answered Brown, with something akin to a sigh, "and he has been with us ever since."?Philadelphia Telegraph. i . LIGHT FROM SKWER GAS. New Method of Illuminating Streets of Cities Discovered. The sewers of cities are to light the cities. The deadly sewer gas which has caused so much trouble has arisen to the dignity of being useful. It is not illumination gas. but power gas, and yet it is to light the habitations of men, according to the Worcester Telegram. It turns the wheels of engines and the engines transform it into electricity, and there is the light, just as easy as saying it. The superman of today says to the sewers, "Let there be light," and there is light. The inventor of the process shows that the sewer gas from the drain pipes of a city of 10,000 people will mak,e 150 horsepower when properly used, and that means enough to produce all the electricity the place will use for light and household power ; and heating purposes at the present ; rate of such use. He even goes so far as to declare that the sewage i from the ordinary country estate of < the big family will provide the gas ] to make powrer enough to light that 1 piace and several others and furnish i power for household work beside, s | That has been demonstrated in Aus- i tralia. i In the ordinary plants for the puri- \ r?f hpfnrp it. is allowed 1 iiVU tlV/iJl Vil wv ?? wq v w V _ to run away to rivers or the ocean, there are septic tanks in which the sewage is allowed to settle for a considerable time, Xhe Water, glflefdl- 8 ly at the top, though by hO s means as clean as it should be made before it runs away, is drawfc off &t * the top and the heavy portion of the ^ sewage, of course, is left at the bot- t torn, Sewer g&S & generated in that s mass and Hsefc to the surface in the form of bubbles. There is an un- t pieasafct and dangerous odor coming ' from these gases, and man has been 'afraid of it for generations. Now * man has come to be its master in a i more positive way than giving it plenty of room to pass away in the < atmosphere. Now the septta tanks are made air- < tight and the gas is allowed.to es- * cape only into the fire box of the efi- ! gine, where it is consumed a% fuel, and electricity results from a process applied to an engine Which creates j power into form to be fcSmtrelled by ? ? in fVi'arb ic tn it for llltU) x uai to an i,uviw the lay mind, for few of us bother about the process of making elec- ; tricity any more than about-the rea son wfiy corn grows. The supply } of gas is so'regular that the engines j run all night without attendance. It 1 has been figured that there is so i much of a saving in th? cost of fuel J and attendance labor by this system j that an engine will make enough money to replace itself every six months. That is not necessary, be- ( cause engines last for years, but it shows that there is a tremendous economy in using the sewer gas for power. The first suggestion is for the mu nicipality to use the power to light < streets and public buildings and to ( sell in the form of lighting or power : electricity, to the people for private purposes. According to the calcula- < tions for a city of 10,000 inhabitants, ; Worcester should be able to generate enough electricity at its sewage puri fication works to light all its streets 1 and haul its material for street work, ; as well as doing the shoveling, to ; drive all the municipal autos, to wa- < ter or oil the streets and even to run ! * ? i i ! the trolley cars. Ana tnen mere ; might be enough' electricity to light the homes and business blocks and provide light and power for shops < as well as homes. [ That sewer gas is all going to J waste now and probably will for some years to come, because it is hard to convince a community that waste ! material is worth anything. But the ( gas is there and the tightening of- the : septic tanks would show that it can 1 be turned into the fuel reservoirs of engines and put to work for import- . ant results. The rough calculations indicate thatwould be worth i many hundred thousand dollars a year to the city of Worcester and it might incidentally, in time, make Milbury smell better. UNABLE TO RECOVER BODY. British War Office So Informs Par* ents of Montague Nicholls. ' Spartanburg, October 2.?All hope entertained by members of his family to recover the body of William Mcintague Nicholls, second lieutenant in the British Royal Field artillery, who fell in battle in France early this week, ended tonight when Judge George W. Nicholls, father of the young man, received a message from the British war office, in response to his inquiry, saying: ^'Regret that the removal of the body is t impossible." Upon the receipt of the message announcing Lieut. Nicholls's death both the British war office and ~ -? *- ?-? ? ~ tne Siaie aepariineiii were appeaicu I to by members of his family here in ah effort to have the remains recovered and brought to Spartanburg for burial. LIQUOR GOES UP IX SMOKE. i Liquor Alone to Value of $23,000 is Consumed by Fire. Barnwell, October 2.?A fire with the loss totalling around $30,000 hit Barnwell about 11 o'clock tonight and made the most spectacular blaze in the history of the town. One building was destroyed. It contained the opera house, the county dispensary and the dispensary bottling plant. The whole thing is a total loss. The value of the liquors Act rrvT-n/l of nnnciiniort' nrinoc n-o e ucoii cu> at vuiiouuici o pi ?? uo stated to be about $23,000, with insurance of $S,000. The building was valued at $6,000 and was insured for $5,000. The fire started in the bottling plant, supposedly from defective electric wiring. This town has waterworks, but tonight the pressure was so slight that there was absolutely no protection. The fire simply burned itself out. Close to the burning building was [he Baptist church, and at times it seemed likely that sparks would ig- I aite it, but fortunately only the one I building was a prey to the flaines. I Smoke poured from the burning I structure fully twenty minutes before I1 i blaze was seen. Nearly everybody I n town was as near the scene of the I daze as the intense heat would al- I ow them to get. I ??Slightly Mixed.
