A NEW ENTERPRISE.
TO Supply the City With Natural
Gas.

1t will be remembered that at the last
meeting of the City Council Messrs. st.
George 81 Young, the real estate
dealers, petitioned that body for the ex-
elusive franchise to lay pipes through
the streets OF this city for the purpose
of conveying natural gas to the resi-
dences. Ia this petition they agreed to
produce enough gas to supply the
entire city within two years. This
is not the first tune this subject
has received attention, and there is
general belief that gas exists
here. With view to ascertaining some
thing more concerning the scheme than
is given in the petition, a HERALD re-
porter yesterday called upon Mr.. st.
Gorge, who said: I'VE have certainly
got immense quantities of natural gas,
and | am only surprised that no Steps
have heretofore been taken to utllizs
it. During my recent visit east,
l consulted with an expert who is thor
oughly familiar with the oil and gas
region Of Pennsylvania. He came on
70 Salt Lake, ana after a careful exam
inatiOn, located the place where the
principal vein exists. He says there
are unmistakable signs of the existence
of large quantities of pure petroleum
gas. He has now gone to Pitts
burg, with instructions to pur-
chase the most improved machinery
for sinking gas wells, and we
expect to 90 ahead with the work as
soon as our franchise is granted. We
will sink an eight-inch open pipe. and
expect to go down at least 1000 feet. In
Pennsylvania, where gas is found in
such an abundance, it frequently hap
pens that the vein is not struck at first.
If such should be the case
here, we shall sink another
well, and expect to be able to supply
Salt Lake City with gas before next
fall. We shall use the system used in
PItsburg, which admits the use of Or
binary stoves. The gas will be fur
nished at much less than the cost of
ordinary fuel, which is only one of the
many advantages. Pittsburg, which
was formerly one of the
dirtiest cities in America.
is now one of the cleanest, the change
being due to the use Of gas. which gives
DelVeT Satisfaction Inan any other fuel.
For glass works, foundries, and, in
short, wherever permanent heal lis
needed, it is Invaluable.
If this gas really exists as is
claimed, and can be utilized IS
proposed by Mr.. st. George.
it will certainly be source of great
benefit to Salt Lake. The projectors OF
this enterprise have ample capital at
their disposal to carry it through, and
should be encouraged in their efforts to
develop this great but so far neglected
resource. In the east, the dis
cevery of natural gas has con-
verted little villages into thriving
cities, and covered barren tracts of
land with great factories. Findley,
Ohio, was but sleepy little village
when this article was discovered there,
and within a year its population in
creased over $1,000. This is but one
instance of many that might be cited.
The discovery Of natural gas will
boom town quicker than anything
know of, remarked an eastern gentle
man last night.

Sauce for Society.

From the Boston Gazette.
When John G. SAKE, in his one-time famous
satirical poem, 1.-THE Proud Miss Mcbride"
made his deserved reflection on the youth Of
American aristocracy, the country was many
years younger than it is at the present time.
Nevertheless, his structures are as applicable
now as they were then. Our aristocracy is
still thing for Laughter. feers and jeers."
and 1t viii. continue to be 80 until those who
have wealth and influence, however acquired,
learn to regard their humber neighbors as
beings walking upon the same planet as them
selves, and not as inferior creatures from some
other world. And it Is to be remembered, Just
here. that people who have suddenly acquired
social position are often more supercilious in
their bearing to persons who have been less
fortunate, than are those who can boast as long
q descent as this country can record
SO we find folk whose grandmothers. per-
haps, sold spruce beer in a cellar or whose
grandfathers dealt out liquor at cents a glass
at some corner groggery at the North End, as
thrown into the company Of those who are in
tellectually and morally their superiors
'What," said one Of these upstairs, do you
speak to your milkman when you meet him on
the street, never notice any Of the lower Or
ders. except in the way of business" The
father Of the person she looked down upon
may have been a general in the war OF the re-
belliOn, and his grandfather NAV have fallen
with Warren at Bunker Hill; but the memory
Of the insolent social mushroom did not 60
back as far as that. She could recall with
greater readiness a multiplicity of relatives of
her own who came over in the steerage from
Europe, not to be too precise in the desiRna-
ton of localities across the sea.
We find no fault with those who endeavor to
better their condition. 1t is the glory of this
country that all may rise to place and honor,
without regard to their antecedents. What we
object to is the assumption of superiority by
many who have been brought by the whiri-
gig Of time, or, in other words good luck, to a
position that they never dreamed of occupying
in the day of small things. These should re-
member that a decent affability, without pre-
tentious cOndescension, is the distinguishing
mark Of all who really adorn rank and station,
and that another revolution of the wheel of
fortune may bring many again to the humble
places from which their families started.
One may pour tea at an afternoon reception
in the most exquisite of imported gowns, and
yet remember that there is some unassumine
| sister, perhaps at the South End. who has
quite as sensitive feelings as the elegant So
ciety lady, and who may be her equal in intel
ligence and education:
Because You flourish in worldly affairs,
Don't be naughty and put on airs, =
With lnsOlent pride of station!
Don't De proud and turn up your nose
Al poorer people in palmer clo'es,
That wealth is . bubble that comes-snd soes.
And that all proud flesh, wherever it grows.
Is subject to irritation"

FIFTY YEARS AGO.
Use Of Money Now and In the First
Half Of this Century.

Rev E. Z. Hale In the ChsutauQaan.
1t Is fair to say that no young people under
stand the difficulties in which the Americans
of the first half Of the century lived and worked
from the variation Of currency IN different
states. Very often bill Of an Illinois bank
would not circulate in New England. You had
to take it to broker, and pay, perhaps, 10
per cent Of its value, in exchange for bills
which would circulate. This difficulty was re-
moved when, in the first year of the civil war,
Mr.. Chase, with the authority Of Congress, in
troduced q national bank system. Nobody
cares now whether his greenback is issued in
Illinois or in Oregon, or in New York. What
young readers may not have noticed is that
bank bills are much less used than they were
OF necessity in those days, and, indeed,
that money as medium Of trade, is less
from the telegraph. And the illustration.
which flake from the experience of our own
states, applies precisely to the commerce Of
the world
If traveller went from Boston to Illinois in
the year 1885, perhaps to buy wool in Ohio, in
Indiana, or in Illinois. he would have taken
perhaps, belt containing silver dollars to the
full amount which he wanted to use. Perhaps
he would take New England bank bills. The
New England banks had invented a system Of
HosAoA ga hou6c WHICH gave tnelr Oils a some
what national reputation. II he could get
them he would take the bills of the United
States bank in Philadelphia. But this bank
and all other banks in the country failed in the
year 1887: For some time, then, it was most
difficult thing to remit money or "value" from
one part OF the nation to another. Indeed.
that difficulty alone showed that it was not yet
nation" You can imagine the anxiety, the
real danger and the difficulty connected with
carrying SO much money, which could be stolen
at any time OF day or of night.
All this is now changed. Let purchaser
travel north, SOUTH east, or west, If he take $50
with him he is amply provided for q journey Of
whatever length or for purchases however
large. He has simply to carry with him some
letters by which, in any large town in the coun-
try, he may identify himself Suppose he ar
rlves at Duluth and makes q purchase; he
wishes to pay at once; he goes to some banker
IN Duluth and gives his name, and shows a let
ter OF Introduction from banker in Boston;
this letter has on it his own autograph; if he is
an entire stranger he veriies himself by repro
ducing this autograph for the Duluth banker.
He offers to the Duluth banker his own check
on Boston bank. The Duluth man then asks
the Boston bank if this check is ''good"-that
is, whether they will honor it. They say that
1t is, and the traveller has his money II they
say it is not he is arrested for fraud and sent
70 prison. What the telegraph gives is the op-
portunity to any man to travel or to do bust
ness with as little actual money as he needs for
personal purposes from day to day.

Music In Medicine.


From the time when medical knowledge was
first embodied in rules Of practice, and proba-
bly, nom a much earlier period, music has held
recognized place in the treatment of disease.
In no class of diseases, however, are we likely
to derive 30 much benefit from the use of so
pleasant . remedy as in those affecting the
mind itself. In melancholia and allied states
OF depression its value is generally admitted
IN our own day. Ancient practitioners were
also coRnizant Of its usefulness in this respect.
We must all have felt how suitable is its inf
mite variety and facility of expression to
the changing moods Of the sane. and it is
therefore the less difficult to understand how
straying minds are pleased and settled by its
charm. Certain it il that its beneficial effect
IL in this case considerable, and our readers.
though possibly unable to acquire a knowledge
OF the art, should at least possess, and if need
fui assert IN practice, sense of its therapeutic
value.

wAsHINGToN's SWEET TOOTH.
There viii be Several Tons of Candy
Used During the Holidays.

II don't suppose it is possible to estimate
the amount Of candy that will be used here
during the holidays" said an Avenue confec-
TONER to q STAR reporter the other day. Il
shall probably sell between six and seven
thousand pounds, and do no Wholesale bust
mess whatever. When you consider the num-
Der Of confectionery establishments in the
city you will imagine that the people of WASH
ington are fond of sweet things. Then, beside
our trade, there are the grocery stores. They
all keep candy, and they sell a large amount Of
it They buy broken candy and cheap mix
lures by the barrel, and are enabled to sell it
cheap. In fact, they have got to sell it at a
small profit and get rid of it, for they have no
trade in that class of goods except during the
holiday season."
DO they buy their candy here?" asked the
reporter.
'Oh, no. They buy mostly in Philadelphia,
where more candy is made than in any city in
this country. was over there the other day
and the proprietor of one factory told me he
had already made over 100 tons of candy, while
at another factory so tons had been sent out.
suppose there are at least 5000 people en-
ployed in making candy in that city"
II suppose the lower grades are most used?"
aid the star man.
Naturally. You see everybody wants candy
at Christmas. Even the poorest family will
try to get little to put in their children's
stockings, and there is Of course greater num-
Der Of people in moderate circumstances than
of wealthy persons. Candy is used, too, on
Christmas trees, and nearly every family with
children has Christmas tree. All the churches,
too, have Christmas celebrations, at which great
quantities Of candy are distributed to the chill
dren. OF course there is a large amount of
the finer class Of candy sold, but nothing to
compare to the ordinary grades"
is the trade increasing each year?"
Certainly. / have been in business here for
twenty-five years, and / ought to know. As
the population increases of course our business
becomes larger and people become more
wealthy or as more wealthy people make their
homes here the trade increases in the higher
kinds Of confectionery. Pure candy doesn't
hurt any one if it is not eaten to excess, and no
reputable confectioner can afford to adulterate
his goods"
..How many tons of candy do you suppose
will be used during the holidays?"
Il can't say exactly, but there will be sew
aPnl
