Collecting Customs, Maintaining the Army and the Police, A.'O Among These, but Not Such Undertakings as the Telegraph, the Telephone, lh.; Street Cars or Gas and Electric Lighting—True Nature of a Public Franchise. By ARTHUR WILLIAMS, President National Klectric Light associa tion. I Some tilings arc so essentially of a governmental nature that it would be fatuous to consider them from tin standpoint of private ownership. Among these are the collection of cus toms. the maintenance and direction of the army and navy and the police pow er. In others it is the end rather than the means that should he sought, and municipal and private ownership are often on equal terms without the viola tion of any economic principle. The maintenance of public highways [and sewers is usually a public func- I tlon, but the country abounds in exam pies, every whit as satisfactory, of pr' ! vate ownership and operation. With water the importance to the communi ty lies not in its ownership, whether public or private, but rather in its qual | ity, quantity and price. Many of the most satisfactory waterworks of this country and Europe are owned pri vately. ! Beyond these there is a class of pub lic utilities which experience has shown should lie exclusively within the domain of private enterprise. The telegraph, tel ephone. transportation, gas and electric light undertakings offer examples. The ownership of these by the community is advocated by some on the ground i that they are necessities of modern life, by others because they partake of the nature of monopoly. It does not appear that either is a sufficient rea son. These are facilities and conven iences, not necessities. The latter con sist of simple dwellings, food, raiment and means of warmth in winter. If our necessities are to be municipalized, j we should begin with the butcher, gro- I cer. baker and coal dealer, whose per centage of profits far exceeds that of any of the corporations In the so called public service. Monopoly regulated monopoly —ls not necessarily opposed to the public Interest. It Is advantageous to all to have one telephone system, that from , one point all may he conveniently reached; to have one street car sys tem with universal transfers, making unnecessary any relation between one’s home and place of work; to have a single gas or electric light works, pre venting the waste of small plants and organizations and securing by the lnr- I ger development Increased reliability and Improved quality in the service. A franchise merely permits a public service corporation to share with oth ers the use of the streets for the de livery to its customers of the commod ity it supplies—a right that is enjoy ed by every other industry- The dif ference Is merely one of method. Were electricity delivered In storage bat teries and gas In tanks—conceivable ways—no franchise would bo required. Instead of using horses and wagons, which blockade the streets and make street cleaning a problem, deliveries i are made beneath the surface without | dirt, noise or other objectionable l'ea i tures. It is; through the exercise of thi* right tlint we hear of the confiscation of public property. Yet the public lias not parted with its title to the streets nor its right to occupy them for any purpose or in any manner it may de sire. It has simply permitted a serv ice company to become a tenant, for which, in the form of franchise and other taxes, the company pays a high rent. Substantially the city is the landlord, possessing the power of arbi trarily determining. In the form of these taxes, what rent it shall receive. And this rent lessens proportionately the Individual taxation.—Moody’s Mag azine. Typical Case of City Dookkecpino. The authorities of Lakewood. 0., have charged the city $55 a year for the street lights supplied by the municipal plant. After looking at their tax bills some of the citizens came to the con clusion that this sum did not represent all the cost and called In a firm of ex pert accountants, who ascertained that the actual annual cost per are had been $123.50 for the seven years the plant bad been In operation, although the lights had been run on the moon light schedule. Asa private com pany offers all night service for less than half that amount the experiment h not regarded as a success, except by the lighting committee. Hard Luck of English City Strikers.

Paganini died at Nice in 1840, and, although ho made confession, he did not receive the sacrament for medical reasons, which the doc tor stated in writing. The bishop refused Christian burial to the body, and the, son appealed to the Nice tribunal, which upheld the bishop, but a further appeal was made to Rome. During this delay the body, incomnletolv embalmed, was deposited at the hospital. From thence the coffin was removed to a lazaretto at Villefranclie. After a month the authorities there determined to get rid of it and deposited it bv the side of a stream formed by the refuse com i> from an oil mill. After some days the Comte de Cessoles, a friend of Paganini, decided to re move the body, which he did by night, having it carried along the seashore in a storm to the Cape St. Hospice. 'Here it was buried and remained for two years, when the great vio linist’s son determined to take his father’s body to Genoa to lie buried there. The ship, however, was re fused admittance at this place, as it had come originally from Mar seilles, where there was cholera, so the body was put into a hole in the rock of a tiny uninhabited island near Cannes. Fiye years later the body was taken to Gajona, near Parma, and buried there on Paganini’s own property. This was in 1845. In 1853 it was exhumed and re-em hnlmed. In 1870, thirty-six years after the musician’s death, iho papal court authorized burial in a church at Parma with Christian rites. Twice again was the body exhumed, apparently out of curiosi ty. and finally a pane of glass was put into the coffin to render visible the face, which had been preserved. —London Spectator. Leather Furniture. A never failing method which may be resorted to for the cleaning of leather furniture is the follow ing: Dip a soft woolen cloth in boil ing milk and wipe the leather with this, rubbing gently until all the dirt is removed. Wipe dry with a soft flannel. When the leather is clean go over the surface with a piece of flannel on which is spread j a tiny bit of prepared wax, about as large as a pea for the surface of a chair. The wax must be spread on the cloth as thin as possible. After j the waxing go over the leather! with a clean soft flannel, rubbing | briskly, but not too hard. Here is j the rule for preparing the wax:: Put four ounces of beeswax, cut in small bits, in a bowl, place the bowl j in a pan of hot water on the buck of the stove. When the wax is quite soft take from the fire and beat into it half a cupful of tur pentine and one tablespoonful of paraffin oil. If the wax gets cold before ready for use, place it in a pan of hot water for a few minutes. How Silver Mines Form. The process by which nature forms her silver mines is very in teresting. It must be remembered that the earth’s crust is full of wa ter, which percolates everywhere through the rocks, making solutions of elements obtained from them. These solutions take'up small par ticles of precious metal which they find here and there. Sometimes the solutions in question are hot, the water having got so far down as to be set boiling by the internal heat of the globe. Then they rush up ward. picking up the bits of metal as they go. Naturally heat assists the performance of tins operation. Now and then the streams thus formed, perpetually flowing hither and thither below the ground, pass through cracks or cavities in the rocks, where they deposit their lodes of silver.
