THE GAS OF THE AGE.
The New Orleans Hydro-Cafbon Gas
light Company

This company has just completed series OF
scientific experiments in the production OF Hydro
Carbon Gas by "Slopers patents" and can strongly
recommend these machines as the simplest,
cheapest and most substantial gas machines ever
offered to the public producing gas five times
the illum mating power of city gas, and at much
less COST. For churches, halls, sugar-houses and
country towns this machine can not be surpassed.
Orders for machines left at the companys office,
No. Carondelet street, New Orleans, or with
Messrs Jockush & Co., bankers, Galveston, Texas,
will meet with prompt attention.

VERSAILLES.
Assumption by the state of Provincial
War Damages.

VERSAILLES, August AIN the Assembly
to-day, the committee upon the subject
made a report recommending that the State
assume the burdens of the provinces which
were invaded by the Germans.
President Theirs, to the surprise of many
of the deputies, and amid much excitement,
spoke in vigorous opposition to the report.
He said the amount of claims which would
be imposed upon the republic could not pos
sibly be less than one million francs-a sum
which the treasury was quite unable to pay.
He could not give his assent to the plan of
the committee, and was only willing to
afford relief to the people of the invaded
districts who we're actually in need.
1t is reported that Theirs has accepted
the principle that the State should indem-
Nifty provinces for losses sustained by Ger
man invasion.
