Boom the town" Paint the old town
red" 'Hurrah for natural gas" and other
headlines have found places in IL daily
papers during the past six weeks. Nat
ural gas has caused fall the tlutter. The
fuel was put to use for heating purposes in
other cities and was furnished cheaper than
coal. Glass manufacturers at Pittsburgh
and elsewhere put it in their furnaces and
glory-hOles and cheapened the cost prOduc-
ton of their glass. The necessity of this
! fuel was soon recognized by our manufac-
turers, and organized companies agreed to
furnish it. One company has piped the
city and gave us what we wanted to "boOm
the town" But a few coal miners are
thrown out OF employment in cOntequenCe
of its introduction, but rs the old saying
is, everything will be 'hunky' and
it is hoped the diggers of the black dia-
mOnds will find other fields of labor.
There are not u few of our people who
dread the idea of putting gas into their
| houses, but the number is not as great as ii
was some months aSor CareleSsness mixed
with natural gas and touched of with a
light has 4 wonderful effect on the indivi-
dual who is so unfortunate as to form a
unit in such a mixture. Cases have been
~chronicled where several persons have
been carried back to their fathers in a
twinkling, but when the cause was investi-
gated lack of precautiOn was found to be
the verdict. However, the work of fur
nishing private residences with this article
has already been commenced, W. 4. Cor
ley, Secretary of the Bellaire Goblet

The city ought to boom and probably is
booming at present from the stand point
of meaning. If when most everybody is
employed the town is booming, then we
can boast of a boom. But if when business
is slow and money scarce we base OuT
calculations, then Bellaire is without a
boom. Since the long strike of the glass
workers the Glass City has not been Hush
and il will take another year of steady
work to set the little town right. Not
w~ithstanding the fact that money Is not
plenty. every business man in the city ex-
poets to do a big business during the hol-
idays. No matter how hard the times or
dark the future appears, Christmas is al
ways celebrated. For this the American
people are to be commended.

ooh my, I'm so tired" said a young
lady clerk rs she wendell her way home
ward at 6 p. m, after her days labor
ceased. 1--WE done nothing all day but
wait on crankS. We used to set apart
Thursday as crank's day, but Of late the
record has been broken and Tuesday is rs
bad as Thursday. | don't mind pulling
down every article of goods i'll the house
when there is no one waiting but it makes
me mad to have to attend an old bore who
only wants to look and not to buy, when
other people stand and wait who want to
purchase. | tell you what is a fact, now
that we are on the subject of clerks and
their customers. Some of the best educated
and refined women in the city are the
worst people to put you to trouble. 1t
seems that they never know what they
want and their faculty of decision is so
slow that it gives II the chills to wait on
them. They want you to show them
everything and after spending an hour or
two locking over your display they will
tell you that they will not buy anything
to-day. They pass out and into another
store ank repeat the same monkey work"
and it is two to one that when they do they
have made Il poor selection. / tell you |
sometimes feel like telling some women
what ! think of them, but | refrain as it is
poor policy, and it is better to treat them
right than otherwise out of regard for ones
employer"

BELLAIRE.
Chit-Chat and other Things From Bellaire
Car No. 2 on the Bellaire street railway

Chit-Chat and Other Things From Bellairs
Car No. 2 on the Bellaire street railway
was slowly going up the grade near Cum
Minis, when Car No. 1, with Tom Selby al
the brake, wheeled around McGowans
corner. A collision appeared inevitable.
One Of the passengers on the down-going
car noticed the danger and became alarm
ed, but the driver appeared as cool as lake
ice. Meanwhile the cars rapidly approach
ed each other. They were only a few
yards apart when Tom put on the air. The
car had been covering ground very rapidly
and the application of the brakes caused
the passengers TO suddenly change seats.
Before any one regained his equilibrium,
the driver wheeled his horses to one side
and off the track went the car. In a mo-
ment No. . has passed by and it was but
Q twinkling ere Tom had his car on the
track again and proceeded on his way.
The passengers were astonished. Why
says the veteran driver: THAT is moth
ing, We have occurrences of that nature
every once in a while" Yes" said a
lady who occupied a seat in the corner,
the street railway in Bellaire is quite
different from the lines in other cities. l

every time | go down street and never miss

Hello, there, Mr.. Reporter, what do
you think of the coming social season.
The news man looked wise and gave the
young lady questioner a reply that made
her uncomfortable. Here is the answer:
Well, my dear reporters have the sacred
privilege of calling the young ladies pet
Names | think the social atmosphere at
present is not so salubrious as it might be.
In fact, it looks rather gloomy. Hard
times for the past two years has knocked
the life out of everybody, and of course
society suffers as well as everything else.
Perhaps YOU will feel better when | tell
you that the coming winter will be prolific
of marriages. Miss $ who resides in
the Third ward will, | understand, be a
bride before the holidays are over. Mad
am RunIor told me the last time l was
over to catch an item, that it is a fact the
Mr., who keeps books for a certain
glass house, will not remain single much
longer. Then there is another young gen.
tleman who has been delaying getting
tied up for a couple of years on account
of ''no work" but he has steady employ
ment now and the date of the wedding is
not far of. might tell you of more mar
riages. but l want to tell you about some
thing else. Have you noticed how the old
clubs have broken up? The Aerial, ]. j.,
bouquet and Windsor Clubs appear to
have gone to rOost. 1t may be that new
life will be infused into the members with
the coming of cold weather, and the clubs
be as gay rs ever. There are numbers OF
hops on the tapis at present all OF which
will be we'll attended.

Grover Cleyeland should recognize
the fact that he has bolted the princi.
pies of the party that elected him, and
that if he persists in administering the
affairs of the government as he has
done since his inauguration, he will
before the expiration Of his term, find
himself, as did John Tyler and An
drew johnson, a President without d
party, The evidence that the drift is
that way is the significant fact that
the House ignored every recommsnda-
tion contained in Cleveland'S annual
message.

Of the Surplus resolution, for the
payment of S10O,000,00O (now dor,

of 207 to 81. 1t now goes to the SEN
