about dark, he encounted three stalwart
tramps, each one of whom had club.

Cheap Gas at Chicago.

CHICAGO, May 2O.-There is prospect that in
the near future the consumers of gas in all parts
of the city, instead of paying 81 and g. so per
1000 feet, will getit at so and 65 cents, and per-
haps lees. The following handbill was dis
tributed by thousands on the West Side yester-
day:
1.-THE Illinois Light, Heat and Power Com
pany, having purchased the gas works situated
on the north branch, at Division street, and
having acquired the right to extend its mains
and pipes to all divisions of the city, will be
ready in a short time to enter into contracts to
furnish gas for lighting. heating and power in
all divisions of the city. for year or more
mot exceeding five years., at the rate of IS cents
Der 1000 cubic feet, bills payable monthly aftep
the supply of gas shall have commenced. Don't
sign contracts with other companies until our
representative has called upon you, which will
be very soon."
The reduction grows out of a serious fight be-
tween three corporations, which have hitherto
confined themselves to tho South, West and
North divisions of the city. but which have lat
terly invaded each others field.

but to shut down indefinitely. The furniture
manufacturers Of st. Louis have come to the
same conclusion, and have about concluded
to stop work unless their men can go back to
the old way. II would not solve the problem
were all the workingmen in the United States
to enter into an agreement to work but eight
hours day, for in that case the laborers of
other countries would be enabled to underbid
them, and the home market would have to be
given over to them. 1t will get occur to the
more thinking Of the workingmen of this
country that the employers are not cor
morants, bent on grinding them down, but
that they are subject to certain things that
they cannot alter, and that the laws of trade
cannot be made or altered at the caprice of
employer or employed. This conclusion be-
ing arrived at, there will probably be alittle
more reason In the demands that may be
made If every man in the United States

that will occur to the thinking man. But, as

Yale should be- Later years have not altered
his opinions. Among the graduates in New Ha

man for the presidency now in the faculty. He
is not educationaly narrow minded, but believes
in the elective system. and particularly in the
announcement of the graduate and professional
departments. His utterances in the New Eng
lander warrant the assumption that as presi
dent, he will endeavor to promote the liberal
idea tpf University education. His personal
qualities cannot fail to recommend him to the
graduates His inauguration will take place on
July l,93he day after the commencement. when
he will make the customary inaugural address.
