The Excitement abopt" Fast" Gas
H'at.F Meters.

From tho N. Y. World.
There is good deal Of comment con-
corning gas In Brooklyn, and many per.
sons complain Of the manner in which gas
bills have recently been increased. Some
two months since The World published
an account Of the extensive introduction
Of kerosene as means OF illumination in
Brooklyn stores, large number Of peo-
pie having either discarded gas or insu-
tuted a close examination OF their meters.
The gas companies admit in most cases
the unreliability OF the meter.test as a
measurement Of gas by reiunding rebate
whenever il is plain that the consumer
is entitled thereto. A few days ago man
named A, L. Taylor, pa Clinton street,
discovered his meter was running too
fast, and he carried his meter 10 New
York and had It tested. The meter was
found to be about per cent. too fast.
The gas companypaid $3.50 for the cost Of
the testing and small rebate besides.
The fact that Mr.. Gilbert had the meter
tested spread about the neighborhood and
a number Of his neighbors subjected their
meters to an examination, and with the
inYAriable result Of finding them too fast.
In each case that the gas company has
been notified the cost OF tho test has been
allowed, and several compliments have
received a rebate.

An attempt is being made to have a
provision made for the election OF an adj

Grant-West Point.
Monroe and Harrison did not gradu.
ate. Monroe left college to join the rev.
dictionary army. financial reverscs de-
prived Harrison OF full course. Polk
was the Oldest when graduating, being
twenty-threc; Tyler the youngest, seven
teen. The majority graduated at twenty,
this being also the average age, Jeficrson
probably had the most liberal education
and broadest culture. 1t il said that his
range Of knowledge would compare fa.
vorably with that Of Burke, The drill
at Wcst Point may be considered equal
to college course, and in many respects
superior. In discipline and mathcmat-
icaI training it is not equalled by any
American college. Counting General
Grant, two.thirds Of our Presidents have
been college men. To be sure the two
whose names have become household
words, Washington, the father, and Lin
coin, the martyr, were not literally edu-
Gated, but theirs were special missions.
They live In the affections OF the nation
rather than in the intellect, AZ embodied
in the constitution and laws; Theirs
was to execute, not to mould.
