the CITY GAS STOCK.
More Opinions as to the Proposed
Investigation.

Several more of our business men express
ed themselves yesterday as to the advisabili-
ty of an investigation into the value Of the
city gas stock.
Mr.. Millett, of Millett & Evans, thought
the suggestion eminently business like. He
favored thorough investigation to ascertain
the facts.
Messrs. Loring, Short & Harmon thought
it should be done thoroughly. The gas stock
is paying, it is said, ten per cent. Suppose
it should deteriorate in value. There is no
probability that it would be less than five
per cent. investment for ten years, and five
per cent. investment then would probably be
better than any other city investment. Some
people think that the use Of electricity VIII
render gas useless. On the contrary, the use
of gas is greater than in years previous. In
our bindery we use gas, and must use gas for
certain processes which makes quite sum
paid annually to the gas company. Ii small
manufactures, or large manufactures. have
a start here, they must all employ gas to a con-
adorable extent. Therefore 1t is useless to
talk of electricity superseding gas.
Mr.. Moore, of Owen, Moore & Co., thought

vestigation of the property and ascertain the
value of the stock.
Messrs Lord & Haskell thought the
PREss's suggestion eminently proper. de
couldn't understand any person opposing 1t.
MIR. Snow, of Bolster, Snow d Co., had
talked this matter over with his partners and
they all agreed that the value of the stock
should be ascertained.
Mr.. Emery, of Emery. Warehouse & Co.,
approved of the suggestion fully.
+ Mr.. John p. Thomas,of j. p. Thomas &
Co., thought the examination should be made
most assuredly.
Mr. Berry, of Charles j. Walker 81 Co..
said this plan had their fullest sanction.
In almost all cases the feeling expressed
was that after the value had been ascertained
the city should keep its stock; that it was as
valuable to to the city as to an individual. A
few expressed the opinion-but they were
mostly those who declined to be quoted-that
the stock should be sold, after its value had
been ascertained. and the proceeds devoted
to reducing the city DEBT

Marion HarIand's Opinion of Baking
Powders.

Our readers have doubtless noticed the
numerous discussions by the scientists and
hyg ienists as to the relative value Of the va
rious baking powders, A careful sitting of
the evidence leaves no doubt as to the supe-
riority of the Royal Baking Powder in puri-
ty, wholesomeness and strength, from SCI
entific standpoint An opinion, however,
that will weigh heavier than any other with
our practical house-keepers, Is that given by
Marion Harland, the best known and most
popular of American writers upon matters
pertaining to the science of domestic econo-
my, of housekeeping, and home cooking In
recent letter to the Philadelphia Ladies
Home Journal, this writer says:
II regard the Royal Baking Powder as the
best manufactured and in the market, so far
as l have any experience in the use of such
compounds. Since the introduction of it in
to my kitchen, three years ago, / have used
no other in making biscuits, cakes, etc, and
have entirely discarded for such purposes
the homemade combination of one-third So
da. two-thirds cream Of tartar.
EVERY box has been in perfect condition
when it came into my hands, and the con-
tents have given complete satisfaction. 1t
is an act of simple justice, and also pleas
ure, to recommend it unqualifedly to Amer
