The Gas-Pipe Inspector.
"a Fd;for ~ ha Indf voiia Harm uls


To the Editor of the 1ndi annapolis Journal:
In your issue of this morning find series OF
resolutions made to order and adopted by the
to pass an ordinance practically shutting out all
competition In natural gas fitting. reservine to a
select few the pleasant privilege OF doing all
the piping of houses in the city, at their own
terms, and in their own good time. without Civ
ing the householder a chance to be one of the
two that makes bargain.
The originators of these resolutions proclaim
their ignorance of natural-gas and the measures
adopted by gas companies for its use and manage
ment. Each one of these companies now asking
patronage has men OF long experience In man
agement, and when the time comes they will ap-
to inspect and pass, reject all work done.
This precaution for the protection of the COM
panies interest, well as for the safety of their
patrons, and will be much more effective
measure of shutting out incompetency than the
measure proposed by their would-be octopus,
paid pet ordinance notwithstanding, that the
octopus would be obliged to let 60 his grin
when these gas companies issue their rules and
regulations to consumers and gas filters.
Then, oh then. where will the handsome sum
paid their attorneys be for engineering their
paid-for pet ordinance through to the injury of
consumers and competent gas filters from other
cities aud towns educated in the use Of gas and
gas fitting by long experience
The natural-g gas filter is not a millionaire. nor
a national bank. and may not be able to give
the 81, 900 bond, and yet be more competent
than his more wealthy would-be tyrant-
There are q number of gas filters in the city
from other towns who will not unstrap their
baudana until after the next Council meeting,
for 'God knows what might be effected when
by such purses and hearts directed"

A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE.
The Mistake in Costumes Made by French
Measurements.

New York World.
Last Monday evening after the performance
of 1.-THE Railroad of Love- had run its success
full course, Mr.. Days company remained In the
theater to try on their costumes for the forth
coming revival of "a Midsummer Night
Dream" Last season when 1.-The Tanning of
the Shrew" was produced at this house some of
the costumes criticised for inaccuracy,
and the manager fully Diet ermined that such an
opportunity should not occur again, resolved to
forestall any cavilliug at the correctness Of the
'Midsummer Nights Dream" raiment by
getting it from the costumer of the Grand
Opera in Paris Ia reliable authority in such
matters). When the costumes arrived they
were not opened at the custom-h house. but sent
to the theater, where they. were unpaeked and
viewed and appraised by the customs in
spectors The result was a bill for So, Ats
duties. All the finery looked wonderfully well
on the dismal daylighted stage, but took up so
much room that it was all put up neatly in big
white boxes, each dress by itself, and labelled
with the very name of the character for whom
it was intended.
From Queen Titana Shannons robe OF gold
tissue, thickly set with tiny gold jewels, soft
flowing silken train and fairy crown and sceptre,
to the outfit of the immortal Bottom, all were
fully furnished according to Shakespeare or
Bacon. AN were happy until they began to try
the clothes. Then CONSERVATION prevailed.

Company distributed 100000 among it's en-

this establishment is thus described: From the
declared earnings sum equal to seven per cent.
of the capital is set aside for the company;
then ten per cent of the balance of the profit is
turned into a guarantee fund to cover losses
that may come; another ten per cent. goes to
form a sick benefit fund; the remainder is then
divided between Stockholders and employees in
proportion to the capital stock and the total
amount of the wages paid in the year. The
concern employs two hundred hands, SO that an
average of $3.50 was realized by each workman.
Some of the wage earpers own shares in the
concern and thus realize income from two
sources. The success of the experiment is very
Encouraging to those who have maintained that
by such system the relations of capital and
