West Ends Electric Power Advances and Edison Lamp Suit
The Post reports setbacks to a national electrical trust plan delayed by capital shortages while promising progress in railway battery lighting. It details the new Bell Telephone Building and notes cost and efficiency of electric streetcars versus horses. Edison lamp litigation stirs debate on monopoly risks and consumer pricing. Novel electric devices include the Patrick torpedo, type-setting motor, thermo electrical battery, and an electric fishing light in San Diego. References to the West End road earnings, expenditures, and plans for Tremont street wiring highlight the era’s push to electrification.

The Price of Sanctity in Wanamaker’s Case
A Portland Oregonian reflection on John Wanamaker amid the Bardsley inquiry and Quay fundraising scrutiny. The piece argues Wanamaker is judged by a Sunday school standard, not ordinary politics, and blames his woes on professed virtue rather than real vice. It notes the Quay fund raise as reproachable but not unique, and contrasts Wanamaker with Don Dickinson as an administrator.
