I. White, which sailed on Saturday for Portland. The French arrived on Sunday from the Bahamas with pineapples. On Monday the French's master was approached as to why he had returned. Taking in the situation, he gave an excuse which was satisfactory.

When shipping masters learned Captain Look was back In town they rushed to his broker's oftlce to ask if he needed a new crew. They, were told they would be notified as soon as he had settled his troubles. An old gentleman who had met the absent Captain Look Informed the other that he had seen Mrs. Look and regarded him as a lucky man In having such a delightful lady for a wife. This put the Captain on his good behavior, and he offered to bet the man any amount he had never seen his wife.

Fearing there was some trick In the proposal, the man withdrew with an apology. Captain Look then sought a quiet corner of the ofiice to smile with effect. Captain Look of the White is a brother of the Captain Look of the French. Both are tail men and are so much alike that a passing acquaintance would readily mistake one for the other.

Building Inspector Preston yesterday condemned as unsafe three old dwellings ln to western section of the dtjw WHICH CAN LAST THE LONGER 11 trie Hope That The Intervention Of The Merchants Will Lead To A Satisfactory Conclusion.

The striking electrical workers will hold conferences with officials of the, Federation of Labor before determining whether farther legal steps will be taken regard ing the restraining order of Judge Goff. Little hope is expressed that the Inter vention of a committee of merchants who seek to arrange arbitration will amount to anything. The merchants up to last night had received no word from J. L-Blarkwell Co. in response to their recent communication.

The strike has evidently settled to a mat ter of endurance, a test In which both sides express confidence. Grand Treasurer W's-Elnger was asked yesterday upon what the strikers relied for since they have been restrained by a Federal court from calling off new men. "Our principal reliance," replied Mr. ls the fact that there are so few electrical workers in the country outside our union. There are no new men to he obtained for the work here In Balti more.

The company claims to have all the men It needs, and so It hat. of a certain kind, but they are not of the kind to handle the work successfully. The majority of men brought here by the company are lamp-trimmers and not linemen. Of the few so-called linemen that have been 'secured at least half a dozen are In hospitals. "If the company has plenty of men, why are the lamps not burning regularly? It cannot be said that we Interfere with the new men now.

The fact Is the system of wires Is in a terrible condition and It Is 'growing worse dally. A heavy storm or two will render the company helpless. Wires will go down, others -will 'cross in all directions, there will be great danger from electricity running wild and the people will not stand It. "It will be six months before the new linemen will be of much use to the company and three years before they become expert. In the meantime the cost to the company In fighting us Is over $1,000 a flay.

How long will the stockholders stand this?" we see the wires getting In worse condition dally and know that the company has not now and Is not able to secure competent linemen to keep the system going we feel assured that victory will come to us in time." The men yesterday received resolutions of sympathy and a donation of 525 from Local 44, Brotherhood of Bookbinders, and a letter of sympathy and a check for $15 from Julius Hines Son. CONDITION OF ARC LAMPS McCnen Says 47S AVere Oot All Monday Night Company's Figures. Superintendent of Lighting McCuen yesterday received reports from the Police Department showing the number of electric lamps that were burning on the streets according to police districts Monday night. They were as follows: Burned Out Burned Part of All All Night. Night.

Night Northern 27 8 14 astern 112 21 31 105 IS 71 Western 97 14 53 Central 5 63 Ji7 Northeastern 105 9 61 15 51 Couth west 34 17 61 Totals 720 163 473 Reports of the United Electric Light and Power Company state that 1.287 city lights, including park lights, were bcrning all Eight Monday out of a total of 1.500 city lamps. Those not burning, according to the company, were lamps on circuits which were cut or obstructed and a number of lamps which had been so injured as to be unlit for service. Officials of the company say that the breaking of lamps and cutting out of circuits has not entirely ceased, and special efforts have been taken to detect persons engaged in this work. A double force of inspectors, who patrol the lines, count the lamps burning all night. One force acts as a check upon the other in making up the reports.

Each inspector has a list with the exact location of every lamp, upon which he makes a tally on each trip. His system, one of the company's officials said, was complete, and there was, he said, no chance for errors in making up the total. TOUCHED A LIVE WIRE A. K. Sandrock Shocked Where George W.

Walters as Killed. August Sandrock, a tinner, 752 St. Peter street, employed by Thomas B. Boland, 402 North Howard street, touched a live electric wire on the roof of a back building at 211 North Calvert street yesterday morning and received a severe shock. He was putting new rain spouting on the roof at the time.

While doing similar work on the same roof last Wednesday George W. Walters touched a live wire and received a shock that caused him to fall to the yard below. He died at the City Hospital the same day from his injuries. He was also employed by Mr. Boland.

Sandrock was sent to finish the job. but was farther on the roof when he received the shock and did not fall off. Last night he was suffering intensely from shock. He had a high fever and complained that his limbs and head wre aching. In speaking of the accident he said: I was sent to put new spouting on house 211 North Calvert street and was told to be very careful and not handle the wires about the building, as George W.

Walters had received a shock from them on Wednesday last and died from his injuries. I was extremely careful, and instead of reaching the roof of the building by means of a ladder used by Walters I went up through the building. As I was hoisting the spouting with a rope it got caught and I gave a sudden pull. My right hand barely touched one of the wires. As quick as a flash I was knocked nearly unconscious and fell on the roof.

My mind is not clear just how I got off of the roof, but when I gained my senses I was going down the steps leading through the building. I was given some stimulants and was able to come home." MORE MEN SENT TO ST. LOUIS Another Baltimore Delegation To Take The Place Of Strikers. Mr. A.

M. Smith, representing the St. Louis Transit Company, sent yesterday from Camden Station by special coach 32 more men to take the places of strikers In St. Louis. These men are to work as electricians and shopmen and will be paid, Mr.

Smith says, from $2 to $3.50 a day. Mr. Smith, who has just returned from St. Louis, said last night: "The strike out there is practically over. It's just as quiet in the streets in St.

Louis as It is here in Baltimore. This is the last lot of men I will send out. We have all the men we need. Those who went from Baltimore are getting along in fine shape. They are among the best men we have." The boycott in St- Louis, Mr.

Smith says, is limited to the small stores and amounts to very little. GAS STOCK SOLD DOWN Less Active Interest Show In. The Reported Deals. Interest In the Consolidated Gas Company's stock was greatly lessened yesterday. The sales amounted to only 175 shares, and, opening at 62, the stock sold down to 61, and the last sale was at 61.

So far the Parr-Webb-Brown syndicate has not submitted to the management Its proposition for a lease of the property and there were no new developments In this direction. Mr. Charles H. Dickey, who is In New York In connection with his plans, is expected to return tomorrow. It Is said that the Philadelphia interests working with Mr.

Dickey are represented by P. A. B. Widener, the street railway magnate of that city. In financial circles yesterday the names of Messrs.

John B. Ramsay, William T. Dixon, S. Davles Warfield, John E. Hurst and N.

W. James were mentioned as havt Ins been asked to go on the ticket to be pat np at the election next month for members of the board of directors of the gas company. When asked about this Mr. Hurst said: "The use of my name is entirely unauthorised and under no circumstances will I go into such a plan." Mr. Warfield said that he had not even been asked.

Similar statements were also made ty Xlessrs. James and Dixon. Mr. Kam-rrj ctzll tt ceo. BIGHT TO PURCHASE BAILWAI Board Of Estimates Takes Measures To Preserve The Right Reserved "When Charters Were Granted.

The Municipal Board of Estimates yesterday began consideration of the ordinances providing for new franchises for the United Railways and Electric Company. It was decided by the board to recommend the Insertion in the ordinance providing for curve connections the amendments submitted by Councilman Brown. These provide for the purchase by the city, at the end of any 15-year period, if it so desires, the City Passenger and Citizens' Railway Companies properties. These companies are a portion of the United Railways. The right of purchase of their properties was given to the city In the original charters.

Another amendment provides that the franchises granted under the pending ordinance shall terminate should the city exercise its right of purchase. It was further determined that a provision shonld be Inserted in thr ordinance requiring the company to issue free transfers at intersections made by the proposed curve connections. The company has been giving free transfers. Mayor Hayes desired that a provision should be attached to the ordinance requiring the company to pay the park tax of 9 per cent, on all Its gross receipts. The company contends that it Is not required to pay this tax on lines In the Annex running over private streets, roads or rights of way.

The Mayor claimed that these lines were valuable only because they connected with lines on public thoroughfares. He, therefore, contended that all the gross receipts should be subject to the tax. The question was left open for further consideration at a meeting to be held today, when City Solicitor Whyte will discuss the legality of such a provision. The ordinance giving the company the right to connect its lines on the York and Harford roads by tiacks on Gorsnch avenue and Taylor and Jackson streets Is also before the board, but was not considered. The board is of the opinion that the connection Is desirable and is waiting to hear from property-owners and residents of the section to be served by the connection as to the most desirable route for the tracks.

The board also passed upon the following applications for minor privileges: Spikier Co. and A. N. Palmer to hang banner. Baltimore street, between Calvert and North streets.

PLANS FOR STREET LIGHTING Welsbach Company Wants To Take Charge Of The Gas Lamps. The Municipal Board of Awards had before it yesterday a proposition from the Welsbach Lighting Company, of Philadelphia, to take entire charge of the street gas lamps in the city. The company offers to supply, clean, light and extinguish tha lamps and claims that under Its proposition the city will be saved annually from $28,000 to $29,000. The city is to continue purchasing the gas and would derive whatever advantage might be obtained from any reduced price. The company desires the contract for a period of five years.

The proposition from the company was submitted to Superintendent of Lamps and Lighting McCuen. Mr. McCuen laid it before the Board of Awards for consideration, with the following letter of explanation: At the present time the city has in operation about 6,100 Welsbach incandescent street lights, under a contract dated February 28. 1899, and which will expire March 190L Under this contract the Welsbach company obligated itself to furnish the burners, mantles, superintendents and to lwep the burners and mantles in good condition, for which service the city pays $12 per lamp per. annum.

The city, under thi3 management, has done all the Halting, cleaning and extinguishing, and Las paid for all the gas used by the lamps. As a result of this arrangement these lamps have each cost the city at the rate of $32.50 per annum. After assuming my duties as Superintendent of Lamps and Lighting 1 began a careful investigation of this system. I found that there were a number of complaints made on account of deficient service, and while this number was not large in comparison with the number of lamps In service it became of sufficient importance to attract my attention. Upon further investigation I found that a divided responsibility was the cause of these lamps not being in perfect condition.

I immediately sent for the representatives of the company and in conjunction with them have made a thorough investigation of the whole matter, with thresult that the Welsbach company has proposed to the city to take charge of the entire service, not only of furnishing burners, mantles, but of lighting, cleaning and extinguishing at a cost of $19 per lamp per annum, the city to pay for the gas, which is estimated to be $8.80 at the present price, making a total of $27.80, as against tha present cost of $32. Yl, an annual saving of $4.70 per lamp, or, approximately, from $28,000 to $29,000 per annum. In addition to this the company has agreed to furnish the city at its own expense all the additional lanterns, lamps and equipment that may be required to extend this system of lighting, and at the end of the contract to sell them to the city, if it is desired to purchase them, at the cost price. The company has also agreed to give the city bond, with approved surety, in the sum of twice the estimated amount of the contract cost, as required by law, to secure the proper performance of all the terms of the contract. As I have before stated, I have made a careful investigation of this whole subject and am fully satisfied that inasmuch as the arrangements proposed by the Welsbach company are so greatly to the advantage' of the city I am strongly in favor of the acceptance of their proposition and entering into a suitable contract with the company for five years (which is a part of their proposition) at $19 per lamp per annum.

This will, of course, necessitate the cancellation of their present contract. I cannot see how the city can do better than accept the proposition and, as I believe, not only avre at least per year and more if the number of lights is increased, but will at the same time improve this branch of the street-lighting service by fixing upon a responsible concern the responsibility for Its proper maintenance, at all times subject to the inspection of my department. Mr. McCnen also submitted the following propositions he had received In response to an advertisement for bids for gasoline or oil lighting: R. Stanley Carswell, for supplying and filling the present gasoline lamps, at $13.75 per lamp per annum.

Kitson Incandescent Lighting Company, for a high candlepower light, at $85 per light per annum. Welsbach Street-Lighting Company, for furnishing naphtha lamps of 80-candlepower each and operating them, except lighting, cleaning and extinguishing, at $27.50 per lamp per annum. Furnishing the lamp and all the service and material for a year at $31.25, and for five years at $30.25 per lamp per year. In connection with these proposals Mr. McCuen made the following explanation and recommendations: As thaBoard is doubtless aware, the city of Baltimore Is operating 1,096 gasoline lamps at an annual cost per lamp of $24.50, or nearly $27,000 per year.

These lamps are lighted, cleaned, extinguished and kept in repair by the city, while the work of filling the lamps and supplying the gasoline is done by contract at a cost of about $13.37 per lamp per annum. The quality of this light is not at all satisfactory, giving but 25-candle power, and will not give service in windy weather. It is not a proper light for the purpose intended. It is employed in the sections of the city where there are neither gas mains nor electric wires; that is, in the small alleys and in the outlying sections. It is necessary, in my Judgment, that we have the very best light obtainable in these places.

The Welsbach naphtha light, which I have tested thoroughly, gives at least 80-candle power, and is a lamp well adapted for this class of illumination. I am well satisfied that for the same amount of money we are now spending for an inferior light the city can light the alleys and the Annex more efficiently and to the better satisfaction of the people with the Welsbach naphtha street light. The company proposes to furnish the lamp, post, lantern and all equipment and supply all labor necessary for lighting, extinguishing, cleaning, repairing, etc. This damp is handsome in appearance, thoroughly satisfactory in light-giving power, and wfll prove an attractive addition to our suburban highways. In my advertisement, I also cabled for a high-class candle-power light, with the idea of utilizing it in certain localities where such a light is necessary.

I received a proposal from the Kitson Light, ing Company to furnish its higb-candle power lamps st pec lamp paz la ay judgment, it WAS A WEEK ON THE WAT HERE After A Talk With John F. Dnsman, The Son Of Her Old Neighbor, She Started To Walk Back A train. Nena Miller, a German woman, 80 years old, was found by Sergt. Robert Noel, of the Northern district, wandering along the York road, near Twenty-second street, about half-past 2 o'clock yesterday morning. He took her to the Northern Police Station, where she told Lieutenant Henry that she had walked 00 miles from York, to Baltimore to see John F.

Dusman, the son of a former friend and neighbor. When found by the sergeant she had lost her way. The woman said she was an Inmate of the York County Almshouse and had started on her long walk a week ago yesterday. She wanted to see the son of her old friend once more before she died and for this purpose obtained a ticket of leave from the superintendent. She walked during the day, getting her meals and spending the nights at hospitable farmhouses along the way, where her story elicited sympathy.

Nine years ago, when she last visited Baltimore, Mr. Dusman lived on South Eden street. She was on her way there, when she became bewildered. ''The sturdy old traveler was given a bed at the station and an effort was made to find her friend. The address of Mr.

G. F. Dusman was given in the directory as 117 West Ostend street and a patrolman from the Southern district was sent there to notify him of the arrival of his old friend. Early yesterday morning he went to the station and the old lady was overjoyed to see him. They had a lengthy talk, principally of his dead mother.

Dusman asked Miss Miller to accompany him home, but she refused, saying her leave was out June 25, and she must walk back. She refused all offers of assistance and started from the station afoot 6n her return about 9 o'clock, after Inquiring the way to the York road. She appeared strong and stepped along vigorously. She said she would spend the night in Towson and hoped to reach York in a week. In reply to questions she said she was born In Germany and came to this country in 1854.

She settled In Pennsylvania, near York, but never married. For number of years she and Mr. Dusman'S mother were neighbors. For the last 30 years, she said, she had been at the county almshouse. MET AFTER MANY YEARS Reunion Of Brother And Sister Who Parted In Germany.

Thirty-two years ago Mr. Dollenberg, then a young man of 17 years, left his native town of Hanover, Germany, and cama to Baltimore. A year later ho went West and settled in St. Louis, where for the last 22 years he has been connected with the R. M.

Rumsey Manufacturing Company. Mr. Dollenberg kept In correspondence with his family back In the old country and sometimes heard from his little sister, who when grown decided to come to this country. She settled In Baltimore and afterward became the wife of Mr. George M.

Maykrantz. Sunday Mr. Dollenberg arrived in Baltimore from St. Louis on his way to attend the convention at Philadelphia. He went to his sister's home, where he will remain until next Tuesday.

NOT AFRAID OF DANGER Bishop Moore Soon To Go To His Work In China. Bishop David H. Moore, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, delivered an eloquent address last evening at a special service held under the auspices of the City Missionary and Church Extension Society, in the Eutaw Street Methodist Episcopal Church, North Eutaw street. Mr. James E.

Ingram introduced Bishop Moore, who spoke for about an hour. He referred to Baltimore as "the sacred shrine of Methodism" and said that city life was the dominant power for good or evil In the world, and that the city was the great mill, while the country was only the feed-bin. He objected to clergymen entering the political field, but appealed to all to use their Influence for civic purity. He spoke of the history of Methodism and the great work of John Wesley, whom ha recommended as a model for Christians of all denominations. Speaking of his recent assignment to an episcopal field, he said -it Included China, Korea and Japan.

He said that the Koreans were the most patient, obedient and long-suffering people of Eastern Asia and that there were opportunities of doing a great work among them. In speaking of the disturbances In China, he said that he was too old a man and too old a soldier to wish for danger, but that he hoped he was too good a soldier to allow danger to deter him from doing his duty. The services were concluded with a short address by Rev. R. L.

Wright, of this city, and the singing of a hymn, after which the Bishop shook hands with a large number of the congregation. Bishop Moore is one of the two bishops elected at the recent General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Chicago. He was born near Athens, Ohio, September 4, 1838, and served four years in the Federal Army during the Civil War, rising from a private In Company Eighty-seventh Ohio Volunteer Infantry, to the lieutenant-colonelcy of the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He was for some time president of the Wesleyan College for Women, at Cincinnati, and subsequently chancellor of the University of Denver. He has been best known to Methodists generally as the editor of the Western Christian Advocate.

In conversation with a reporter of The Sun last night the Bishop said, in speaking of his military service, that his regiment, the Eighty-seventh Ohio Volunteers, was stationed in Baltimore in 1861. On July 4, of that year, the regiment paraded through the streets of the city with fixed bayonets, to awe the Southern sympathizers. Later the regiment was sent to Harper's Ferry, where In September, 1862, It was gobbled up by Stonewall Jackson, after which It again marched through Baltimore, but this time unarmed as paroled prisoners of war. Bishop Moore Is the guest of Dr. G.

Lane Taneyhlll and leaves the city this morning for Washington, going thence to Chicago. In about two weeks he will sail for Shanghai, China, which will be his residence for four years. TO ATTRACT SOUTHERN TRADE Merchants Who Bur Here Will Receive Half Fare. The movement started recently by members of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association to raise a large fund to assist in advertising and attracting Southern merchants to Baltimore has met with success. A large number of leading houses In various lines of trade have subscribed to the plan.

The association, through a subcommittee which was recently authorized to act, yesterday approved the plan and provided folf the preliminary expenses of carrying It Into execution. Fifty thousand circulars advertising the plan, the attractions of Baltimore and the business of the city will be Issued by special mail to the merchants in a large part of the South. The circulars will contain the proposition that any merchant who receives one of the circulars from the association and who will visit the Baltimore market before October 1 and buy not less than $1,000 worth of goods from the merchants who participate In the plan will be entitled to have one-half of his fare returned to him at the rooms of the association. The Baltimore merchants who are taking part In the movement propose to pro-rate the amount returned to the visitor among their respective firms In proportion to the amounts of goods bought from each. This plan has been pursued In a number of other cities and is said to have the merit of being equitable among those who defray the cost.

It Is expected that this movement will attract a large trade to Baltimore during the approaching fall season. The summer tourist rates that prevailed last year from all parts' of the South to Old Point Comfort and return at about one-third 'less than regular rates will also be renewed this year. These low rates are In effect from June 1 to September 30, wifh return limit to October 31. As these rates will be extensively advertised by the association, it Is hoped to draw many buyers to Baltimore by way of the Chesapeake bay. The details of the plan will be speedily put Into execution, and In a few weeks the Southern merchant will have the most favorable opportunity to visit this market that has ever been offered.

He had been representative peer for Ireland since 1873 and Lord-Lieutenant for County Clare since 1886. He claimed descent from Brian Boroimbe, who fell at the battle of Clon-y tarf, In 1014. The Sun on April 10, page 9, column 4, reported his death.

Mr. Thomas Weeks, counsel for the strikers, said he was under the Impression that the men who have been commissioned as special officers are permitted to carry weapons, but that others are not. J. P. W.

good dictionary ought to settle the question. For instance, the Century defines currency as "that which Is current as a medium of exchange; that which Is in general use as money or as a representative of value." Gold, silver, copper and nickel coins are termed "metallic currency." Notes issued by a government or by banks as a substitute for money are termed "paper currency." Webster says: "That which is in circulation, or is given and taken as having value, or as representing property; as the currency of a country; a specie currency." The Students Standard says: "Coin or bank notes." The popular application of the word "currency" to paper money only is merely a icatter of convenience and Is altogether arbitrary. Formerly the word "paper" was made to do duty In the same way. Canada.
