ark it can be best demonstrated by stating that a 32 candle power _ 40 watt Tungsten lamp burning 25 hours will use up 1 K.W. hour. A 16 canâ€" die power carbon lamp consuming 60 @>r a period of one hour. To enter in iz an explanation of the technical meaning ~would only be confusing, anrd it â€"can be boest dAamnneéirataX w ’ : Domestic Rates (2) The rate for this class of serâ€" vice is very simiple and without any complications, the rate being 5¢ per K.W.hour, there being a discount of 10 per cent for payment within ten days, which brings the rate down to 4%c per K.W. hour net. ‘A â€" small minimum charge of 50 cents per month is made on this class of business. It might be in â€" order to state just what is meant by a kiloâ€" watt hour. A kilowatt is the standâ€" ard unit of measurement used all over the world for measuring electric energy, and a kilowatt hour means 1~= supply consequently of a kilowatt In viéew of these low rates it is necessary that we should have some protection, and a minimum charge of $1 net per K.W. ._ of _ capacity per month is made. In the above examâ€" ple the minimum charge would, of course, be $1 net; with a 2 K. W. hours and so on. _In view of these rates it is necesâ€" sary that ‘we should have some protec tion, and a minimum charge of $1 net per K. W. of capacity per _ month is made. In the above example the minimum charge would, of course, be $1.00 net; with a 2 K.W. connected load the minimum charge would be $2 mret. C It should be noted that the first 30 hours‘ use does not necessarily iméan the first 30 K.W. hours, but the first 30 hours‘ use of installed capaâ€" city. For the sake of simplicity in the abové.example we have assumed a load of 1,000 watts, orâ€". 1 kilowatt, whereas if the customer‘s load was 2 kilowatts the first 30 hours‘ use, calculated at 6 per cent, would be the first 60 K.W. hours and so on. Net amount ...... ........ $5.6G5 It will be seen from this that a customer using lighting on an averâ€" age of 8 hours per night will pay the very, low rate of 1.8¢ per K.W. hour net. In fact, were conditions such that it was necessary for â€"him to burn his lamps continuously night and day, the rate would fall to about Vc per K.W. hour. If he‘ should use his lighting 8 bhours per night under similar condiâ€" tions, he would consume 200 K. W.

YORKE, The assassination story on Lincoln was handled in a way that would forâ€" ever blight the newspaper reputation of an editor of the present day. Of course, the facilities for handling news have been improved a thousand fold since 1865, and newspaper imâ€" provement has extended all along the line. The managing editor knows just how to handle the news in the shortest space of time; where certain details of the story can‘be obtained the quickest; what _ features will stand out best pictured by the artist; by what channels certain details _ of the story can be gotten hold of first and a thousand other matters of vast |importance necessary to the making ’of a twentieth century neWSpaper‘ story. During the excitement following Lini coln‘s assassination there were but few special men sent to Washington. It is estimated that theroe were over 45,000 newspaper® men â€" throughout the country concerned in the handâ€" ling of the McKinley stories. At Bufâ€" night ‘that their respective newspap-‘ falo hundreds of the greatest writers| of the day were working day and‘ The ways and means of handling thousands upon thousands of "extras" by the circulation _ managers, exâ€" press companies, post office departâ€" ments and news companies _ have been improved as thoroughly as has been the editorial end of the press of the present day. mnel cagh There: were interviews with leading men of the United States and expresâ€" sions of sympathy from public men of the old country, with details as to how the news was received in every section of the civilized world.

Some of the soâ€"called modern ReWwWSPAPCS of toâ€" day are printing woodâ€"type _ scareâ€" heads over rehasher neWws, aDd they are doing it several times bourly. The soâ€"called tendency of modernity in newspaper making isn‘t of recent kdate, howeverâ€"for two hours â€" after McKinley was shot _ bundreds _ of | newspapers throughout the country were issuing special editions. Many of these newspapers were typical of this alleged tendency toward modernâ€" ity. At nine. o‘clock that night one of the great afternoon neWwSpapers was sending out extras containing nearly three pages concerning the shooting. Every detail of the sad affair was emâ€" bodied in the story. There were picâ€" tures of President McKinley, Mrs. McKinley, his boyhood home, of the building in which he was shot, and one newspaper even published photos of all rulers assassinated up to the McKinley shooting. s s /‘ .
