THE Pittsburgers are already comforting
one another over the prospective failure OF
natural gas by explanations Of exactly how
and why the supply is not as strong from
some wells as II has been, and assurances
that they can get along very well without 1t
any way by making gas by new and cheap
methods. They explain the great falling
oil In pressure and the failure of some wells
by showing that the greater the number OF
wells In any field the smaller the pressure
and supply OF each we'll The Pittsburg
Times says that Il Ia an established fact that
each additional well drilled close to the
others lessons the pressure on all, and
shows how the price Of gas has been In.
creased along with an increase OF the sup
ply because the new wells required Oh pen
sive Pipe lines and the old lines had to be
abandoned In many cases. "In tho Grape
Vile district Lnone OF the.great gushers are
decreasing their flow. But the eliminating
OF the flow Of certain portions Of the field
necessitated the shifting Of lines and
building Of now ones nj q great expense,

the reason for an increased price for gas.
The Philadelphia company will have more
gas this winter than II has ever had before,
but It's patrons will have to pay more for II
than formerly"
The Bridgewster company has deter
to abandon Its costly line to youngstown,
o., and to build a limo at 100000 to
Rochester, Beaver county. The Wheeling
Gas company also complains OF decreasing
flow, and is shifting Its lines from the
Hickory field In northern Washington

Renting Public School Houses

DIR. Higbee takes occasion, upon the
invitation Of certain citizens of the First
ward of Pittsburg, to make an eilicial de-
hyerance, as superintendent of common
schools, upon the question as to whether
the school board of a district has right
% rent its school houses. This Pitts.
burg board rented an empty school house
20 . Catholic priest. DIR. Higbee declares
that the law forb!ds the renting of a
school house for any purpose and rather
neems to think that sectarian school is
espscislly obnoxious to such grant, un-
der tho constitution OF Pennsylvania.
We are inclined to think that it
would be much more proper to rent a
school house for Catholic school, than
sor dancing hall or grocery store !;
)hough DR.. Higbee is probably right In

The stories lately published OF the pur-
chase OF Immense tracts OF lands nom the
Zuni Indians, OF Mexico, by the Mormons,
and OF the granting OF even larger tracts by
the Mexican government, are denied. The
Huni Indians are not in Mexico but in New
Mexico, and their land can not be- sold
except to the United States. 1t ia no aoubt
true, however, that great numbers of Nor.
mons have passed over the Mexican border.
and bought land in the valley OF the Casas
GraDde, In Northern chihuahua 1t ia
hoped that they are the precursors of a
Wholesale emigration from Utah, though
the steady influx OF Mormon converts from
Europe seems almost large enough TO
balance this outflow. Though they will
hardly leave Salt Lake City until the
"gentiles" make 1t very uncomfortable for
them, they probably realize that sooner or
later they must leave the country for the
country's good.

BISHOP TAYLOR, the African bishop o

Ing Of the disapp earance OF Henry M. Stan

probable that Stanley had gone into thu

interested persons were taking advantage
OF his absence to create friendship for indi

The drift is to smaller, snug
ger, closer shapes. What there
is of lingering Gainesborough
effect Is clipped and warped.
More Toques and Turbans.
Bonnets a little wider and a reef
or SO in the topsails. And with
everything a touch of green.
Bright, green, medium green,
dead green that you can hardly
see in some of them, but at
least a bit Of it is sure to be
there. A great deal OF white
creeps in now and then, always
in sharp contrasts.
Poor birds Feathers arc
iluttering all around. Pretty, to
be sure, never prettier. You
meet breasts and flat feather
bands and tips and wings at
almost every turn. Pheasants,
grebe, ostrich, and the greenish
metallic blue of lmpeyan are
the favorites.
Jet holds on, but not in such
solid masses. Mixed with vel
vet and ribbon. More delicate,
airy, lacey effects.
Long plumes are nodding to-
ward the front again. In one
style the fluffy feather is drawn
out like an exaggerated, Knights
Templars plume, and the loose
end worn as a boa.
The old. fashioned bandeau
too. In triplets above the bon
net front.
Just the cutest Hats for big
and little girls. Velvets, Felts,
Tams, Hoods, and the whole
brood of school-time and dress
parade-time headgear. Some
of the Felts are twisted and con-
voluted like the mouth of a con-
torted sea shell.
Whatever form you see
tricked out among the Trimmed
you'll find ready to your hand
among the untrimmed. A
babel of shapes, straw, felt,

windows on either hand.
Ribbons have taken on some

satchel snatcher Convicted.

Michael Meaney, white man, was convicted
in the criminal court yesterday on the charge
of larceny from the person. Mary c. Whelan,
q widow woman, was the chief witness for the
prosecution, and stated that on the night OF
Jan. 2 she was on her way home abolt 7
O'Clock in the evening" and on Pennsylvania
avenue near Seventh street northwest, she was
approached by a man who claimed her &C.
quaintance. Believing that the man was up TO
some evil design upon her she rel Used him ,and
proceeded on her way. When on Tenth street
near Grant Place a man came up to her and
snatchcd her satchel from her hand and ran
away She thought the prisoner was the man
who approached her in both instances but
could rot swear positively The satchel aud
contents were found strewn On the pavement
near where the snatching occurred. Officer
McLucas Il stiied to making the arrest, while
several young men testified to hearing the cry
Of stop thief" and of Joining In the chase OF
MeaDey, who was seen ruuuing from the
scene. The defendant took the stand in his
own behalf, and denied all knowledge of the
affair, but on cro.s-examination admitted he
had been arrested previously andGonvicted
in the police court on a former charge of lar
ceny. The other testimony Of the defense
tended to show that he was addicted to strong
drink. and If he did snatch the satchel 1t was
but drunken assault, and no robbery was
intended,

WHERE TO DRAW THE LINE.
False Pretensss Charged in the Trad
ing of HurseR

In the criminal court yesterday afternoon
the case Of James Z. and wm. Davis, two
young men charged with false pretenses, came
up for trial This Is q prosecution growing
out OF horse trade at the bazar last May.
James E. Davis traded a horse to John
Nephew FOR his horse and Sc to boot.
Nephew found that his new horse was
"broken.winned" and wanted to swap back,
but Davis would not. The latter was then in.
dicted for false pretenses and VIM. Davis as an
accessory. John n. Shorlo was the first wit
ness, for the prosecution and testified TO a
similar transactlon between himself and the
prisoners, wherein he got a horse that was not
sound AT this point Justice Montgomery
stopped the case and stated that he very much
doubted whether unsoundness of an animal
traded on representations of soundness could
be construed as coming within the meaning
Of false pretenses. II so, the justice believed
that merchants who sell clothing and rep.
resent the goods 10 be all wool when they con.
tained cotton could be similarly indicted. His
honor. admitted that If a ieweler should sell
plated goods and say they were solid, then he
would be guilty of false pretenses. But the
question was where TO draw the line. He de-
cided to adjourn court for the day aud would

enouLs DISAPPOINTED.
They Desecrate y Grave, bnt Find an
Unacceptable "stiG."

Again the resurrectionsts have been plying
their ghoulish vocation, bu. this time they did
not succeed in carrying out their base designs,
Their recent exploits in the larger cemeteries
have caused those cities of the dead to be
closely guarded, and II was undoubtedly for
that reason that they directed their energies
to more remote quarter.
Pretty little Grace Church is situated In
grove Of stately oaks ont on the Seventh street
road, not more than a.mile beyond Sligo, In
Montgomery county, Md. Frequent Inter.
ments there are not the rule, but about
week since the remains of a Mrs. Smith were
consigned to earth in the loneliest and most
secluded part of the cemetery. The ghouls,
in search of this body, picked ont the first
fresh grave they could find, and as luck would
have, they hit upon the grave. of a
Mrs. Padgett, who was Inferred more
than twelve months ago. AS the
mound had never been sodded 1t,
of course, looked quite. new; and at II the
robbers went to work. They hastily and
silently threw aside the earth until the outer
box was reached. That was soon demo ish ID,
then the coffin was broken into and its con :
composition, laid bare. The ghouls saw that
the ''subject' had got fal yo'd anything like
market value and thereupUa directed their
attention TO the basement Of the church. That
they broke into in the hope of finding receiv.
ing vault, but all their efforts proved futile.
DR.. Harding, who resides near the cemetery,
was the first to discover the attempted robbery,
and the neighbers were at once Informed OF
the outrage. A broken spade was the only
clew left by the robbers, OF whom no trace as
yet can be found,
