SO familiar years ago in the cities about
the falls, met me-, and, without cere-
mony, escorted me through the town OF
Creighton. I will use his explanation
without quotation marks. Three years
gas could be obtained in the valley of
the Allegheny north Of Pittsburg suf-
ficlent to serve the purposes of fuel and
light for any mandatory two hundred
acres were purchased and a well was
sunk. A we'll defined coal vein was on
the property, but coal was not wanted;
gas was, and gas was struck at 1900
feet, in a five-inch bore. A stream, u
torrent Of pure hydrogen gas, burst out
with q force of $50 pounds to the square
inch, and the establishment of plate
glass works on an economical basis be-
came . fixed fact. Last November the
Pittsburg Plate Glass Company was
organized.
What | saw is what I wish to speak
about. No coal, no wood, no cinders,
no ashes, no smoke Nhini Of that, no
debris OF a factory to be seen anywhere.
In the furnaces a lurid, steady heat,
regulates like clock work. Overhead,
in the vast works, were gas burners
ablaze in the broad day, because, as
Captain Ford said, SIT was not worth
while to turn the burners off and on,
as there was plenty of gas, and to spare.
All through this vast establishment,
with its great whirling tables loaded
with plate glass undergoing the several
processes OF polishing. wa observable
the supreme power of the five-inch pipe
Of natural gas. The great engine
thro5bed and moved in perfect regular
lty all the mechanism of the establish
ment, actuated by the same simple,
natural power. No coal, no ashes, no
clnders, nc smoked
"Come to the house and I'll show
you how We get along without COAL"
said Captain Ford.
Wonderingiy I followed.
In q charming cottage residence of
large capacity, with crate and gaslights
in every room and hall, and in the
kitchen stove, even, were nothing but
fringes of gas jets.
Last winter, rs cold as the winter
was we didn't know what cold was"
said a lady in this delightful home.
Why should they? A thumbscrew on
a gas pipe regulated the temperature
to absolute perfection. We live in a
fast age. To primitive people, depend
emit upon coal and wood for heating
purposes, whether we get it through
cheap stoves, CRATES. or costly furna-
ces, what a revelation this ma
lures gas company is. I am in
clined to have a mighty poor opinion o
our local gas companies with their mil
lions of capital, when I think of Cap
tain Ford's five-inch pipe stuck in the
hills, Just beyond the town of Creighton,
on the Allegheny river. Nature has
quietly been pressed into the most prac-
tical and utillitarian methods for mans
profit and luxury. The only cloud that
arises from this community is formed
from steam.
1--WE don't need to use this steam at
ALL" said Captain Ford. "The natural
pressure of the gas, $50 pounds to the
square inch. will drive our engines, and
we can use the escaping gas just as we'll
for fuel and light. They are doing it
below US, and we will soon adopt the
same method. "-Pittsburg, Pa, Cor

drawn Jones's attention in the most de-
lcate manner to Matilda's manifestIy
declining health, has warned him Of
heart disease and threatened him with
g decline, at which lie was evidently
much concerned, but still did not speak
out. So the gentle hint was eventually to
be abandoned.
Possibly the next stratagem that sug-
gests itself is a change Of demeanor on
the part of the whole family toward
Jones. This is considered at the first
blush . happy thought. II they all
turn cold to him at once, it must make
him retiect-1 he has any reflection in
him But then arises the harassing
fear that Jones may reflect too much,
may take the GOODNESS in all sincerity,
think they are tired OF him, and SO say
goodbye and lose forever the chance
OF being happy. Besides, it is rather
repugnant to the feelings, and SO it is
abandoned too. Likewise is abandoned
tbs idea Of getting 9 friend Of both
families to speak to Jones aon his own
responsibility" and Of course Of his
own initiative, because one after an
other friend ofthe family who is thought
of, is rejected for one good reason or
another. One is too abrupt in his
style, another is more q friend of the
Joneses than she is of theirs, while a
third has been o bit of o trifer himself
and does not think severely enough
on such matters. Then it is q
very tlankless office for an outsider
to take, for even ii the STRATA
gem is successful the lovers are sure to
look upon it as or interference, and if
the match never mn off the failure
will always be laid to the family friend.
After all, faute de mieux, the matter is
practically left in the hands of poor Ma
tide herself, who possibly takes coun-
sci OF her own instincts, and decides
that = little Irritation with another gem
tlemnn would have more effect upon
~ masculine Hardness than anything
Isdse. But it must be confessed that
this is but . desperate and dangerous
expedient. Flirtations are double
edged weapons without a handle.

Mr.. Hendricks Views.

Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks, in an inter-
view concerning Tilden's letter of declina-
ton, said the news was not q surprise to
him, for when he visited Tilden in August
last that gentleman very firmly announced
his intention to remain permanently out of
politics. On his succeeding visit, in April
last, the same determination was expressed.
Hendricks thought there was little doubt
he would have been unanimously nomi-
mated by the Chicago Convention had it
not been for his declination to-day. He
said that the demand for him among the
Democracy was almost universal and
greater than any movement of any kind he
had ever seen in politics. Personally, he
felt no great disappointment. He did not
want the Office of Vice President eight
years ago and did not want it now. II the
old ticket had remained in the field he
should nave considered an election to that
place a great honor, conferred by the peo-
Pile as a rebuke to what they considered q
great wrong. 1t would have prevented the
seating of Hayes in 1876 from becoming a
precedent for future elections. Hendricks
added that only for the expression of the
indignation of the people he would have
regarded the election to the Vice Presi-
dency as an honor to be sought.

A Daring Experiment.

In $ recent lecture in New York, DR..
Woodbridge said: 'tIn case Of q bite OF q
enemo serpent the old historic method
of sucking the wound with the lips is one
Of the first things to be resorted to. If the
poison is in the circulation the use OF
strong brandy or whisky, in quantities
powerful enough to produce intoxication
must be resorted to. The bite OF a mad
dog should be cauterized at once, by a
pencil Of lunar c~austic, or by irons heated
white. The popularity of hydrophobic
poison is that it remains in the spot where
the bite occurs for several days, and not
until this poison ferments does it become
dangerous. DR.. Hewitt, a surgeon OF Lon
don. allowed himself to be bitten NO less
than so times by rabid dogs, each time
successfully csuterizing the wound. He
fell a victim to his temerity, however, for
one day he was found dead with a pistol
shot from his own hand. A statement was
left in his papers that he had neglected the
cauterizstion too long, and feeling the first
symptoms of hydrophobia, he preferred &c
die without the long agony.

Senator Fair denies most positively that
there is any truth in the report that upon
the occasion of his recent trip to Califor.

ing the wife from whom he was separated
a year since. A singular feature of the
case, and one not generally known, is that,
10 addition to the $4,000, 900 demanded by
Mrs. Fair upon that occasion, the Senator
voluntarily added a fifth million. At the
conclusion of the legal proceedings Mrs.
Fair found herself utterly at a loss as to
how to invest her large fortune, and, in
her dilemma, applied for help to her for
mer husband. To this appeal he at once
responded, and now, though separated
from Mrs. Fair, he has entire charge of her
money affairs, investing her large capital
entirely according to his own judgment.

SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS.

of Teachers and Trustees.

something as TO the Responsibility
Of Teachers and Trustees.
The examinations with which the present
term OF school will close will begin to-
morrow and be continued through the
forenoon and afternoon in Miss Dorsey's
and Miss Manheim's departments; Tues
day, in Miss Riley's and Miss Mau's de-
partments; Wednesday, in Mrs. Atwood's
department; and Thursday and Friday in
Prot. Mcdonald and Miss Wright's de-
partments. The public are cordially in
vited to attend and inspect the results
obtained by their servants, the teachers,
during the past year. We believe they
will find that decided improvement has
been made in all the departments of study,
and that better discipline prevails now
than ever. At the examinations the
parents of the children and those who are
friends of public school education should
be present and sit as judges upon the
work of those whom they employ.
Such Judgment, however, should not be
hasty. 1t must be held in mind that
school teaching Is an art and that, hence,
its fruits should not be either condemned
or approved without mature and intelli-
gent consideration. The schoolhouse,
especially the public s~cholhouse, is a sacred
institution. Those who are intrusted
with its management have q serious and
delicate trust confided to them. The
Trustees are legitimate subjects of public
criticism, but they, as the teachers, should
be dealt with intelligently and upon in
formation. Persons who jump at conclu-
sions from street gossip or ill-advised pub
LEGATIONS are liable to do themselves, as
well as others. grave injustice. If at any
time citizens apprehend that there is any
thing done or contemplated in the
conduct of our revered public school in
stitution that is injurious or wrong, they
should see to it, first, that such apprehen-
sion is well grounded. In order to find
out whether this be so they should seek
for information in the premises from the
proper source and not run the risk of
coming to precipitate conclusions in con-
sequence OF listening to mere rumors that
may be idle and vicious. The Trustees OF
this district are in the service Of the peo-
pie, and, at all times, they are pleased to
discuss any matters Of school policy with
any citizens who will do them honor to
confer with them. Some school affairs
are not unlike family concerns, in this,
that discipline does not depend for its
promotion upon publicity.

Nitre Mining I'm Nevada.

The San Francisco Exchange of June 9
says: The California Nitre Mining Com
pany's claim was located in August, 1888,
being situated on what is known as Nitre
Hill. in the Forty-mile Desert, about 25
miles east of Lovelock Station, Humboldt
county, New. Some deposits of nitrate of
soda, crude, have been discovered there.
1t is found in a crystalized form, deposited
in the hill. some 4 to 80 inches below the
surface. The deposit, or rather the claim,
has not been developed to any extent, and
how much of a deposit of nitre there is to
be found is yet unknown, although the
prospect looks very encouraging. The
California Nitre Manufacturing Company
have taken up and located an extensive
tract of ground, covering all the Ditre land
in that county, and it is the company's in
tention of pushing the development of said
claim at an early day, hoping that enough
of this useful article will be found to war
rant their further exploration. The COM
pany's office is at 331 Montgomery street,
