COOL WEATHER BRINGS BUSINESS
Merchants Pleased with the Outlook for
Fall Trade.

"Thls is the kind of weather that helps
our business" said Broughton street
dry goods merchant to a NEWS reporter.
Trade was light during the warm
days, but now that the air has grown
cooler the clerks are buster. People are
hurrylng back home from the re-
sorts and packing away their
light clothing. The mothers are out
shopping every day. The boys and
the girls must be fitted up for school,
and in the next ten days hundreds OF
yards OF dress goods Will be made up.
This Is little earlier than usual, and the
dealers who had their goods brought on
from the Northern markets week or
more ago are cEuckling over the disad-
vantage Of their rivals who have not yet
received their fall stocks. There is no
greater change than is usual between the
fall styles from one year 10 another. In
figured goods there are numerous new
ana very pretty designs, but the eolors
are no louder and no more gaudy than
last year"

IN A GAs-HoLDEK.
A queer Place which Few People Ever
Visit.

A Queer Place which Few People Ever
Visit.
One Of the queer places which COM
paratively few people see is the interior
of an Illuminating gas receiver. Those
who have observed the huge heavy sheet
ironcylinders have noticed the tops of the
big black objects high up above the
ground in the evening, and in the morn
ing they were down on level with the
surface.
Yesterday morning a NEWS reporter
dropped through the man-hOle in the top
Of u receiver at the old gas works, and
cautiously descended shaky ladder. The
water mad been pumped out, and the gas
exhausted several days before. 1t seemed
a long way down 10 the bottom, which
was OF cement and brick. The best idea
of the size OF one of the receivers can
only be obtained from the inside. IL would
take q long string TO stretch all Of the
way around close up to the iron wall. To
be understood one has to speak low and
deliberately, for the wall or the cylinder
throws back the sound from every point,
and so jumbles the echoes together that
the sound Is unintelligible. Away up in
the roof the light comes through the small
opening. The air inside is impregnated
with gas and is oppressive. One cannot
help but think what a fix he would be in
il the gas was suddenly turned on and the
hole in the top closed.
When in use the bottom Of a receiver is
covered several feet deep with water, and
the gas il pumped in through pipe, the
opening OF which Is above the surface OF
the water. As the pressure increases
within the chamber the cylinder IS raised,
and at night, as the gas is consumed, the
receiver being no longer Duoyed above the
water By powerful pressure, sinks grad
ually back with the inside surface OF the
top only few feet above the water
