Our present price for gas is believed to be
lower than that Of any city OF its size similarly
situated in this country, and the only way in
which this low price can be maintained is by
prompt collection of bills and the consequent
avoidance of bad debts. With this object in
view we ask the cooperation Of our patrons,
even though IL inconvenience them somewhat
to nav at our office, or mail checks within the
time named. This feature is 50 important to
us that the discount in the future VIII not
be allowed to any consumer under any cir
cumstances after the ten days have expired,
and in default Of payment after that the gas
will be shut of.
Complaints for supposed errors must be
made Immediately after receipt Of bill. 50 that

LONDON BLACKMAILERS.
How American Capitalists Are Dled by tn
 Vampires of { Ommerce.

How American Capitalists Are Dled by the Vampires of { Ommerce.
 There has recently come to the knowledge of American capitalists and promoters the fact that there is a systematic and carefully planned bureau of blackmail in London, the workings of which are concealed from the public, but which has proven a thorn in the side of numerous Amer jean enterprises. As far as known the head of the bureau Is man who moves in fair business and social eff: cles in London, and has a string" in two or three newspaper offices, in- cluding financial paper. He has a number of correspondents on this side of the water, where he formerly lived for a number of years. They keep him posted as to Americans who go abroad to raise money for the pro- motion of enterprises of various kinds.
 The minutest details of these enter. prises are ascertained by these corre- spondents, in order to find any possi- ble flaws On the arrival of an Amer ican in L oDdon to present 10 bankers there any scheme of financial opera tions, he is called upon by this head of the bureau. who delicately proffers his services. If these are accepted and tefms agreed upon sufficiently exorbi- tant, all goes well. If not, the unfor- tunate American finds his project as- sailed yituperouslY in portion of the press, and attacked in q circle where the blackm alters move. Often he turns about and comes home disgusted, real izing how hopeless It is to fight away from home Ii he shows battle, he may expect 10 be bled by lawyers If he buys peace, as he can, perfect army of smaller blackmai spring up 10 ''strike" him. His best course is 10 ignore them all, ot course.
 But few men have the courage 10 do that. A shrewd American promoter who told these things from experience, added this advice: 1.-The best way 10 be rid of the vampires is to kcepyour- self and your project secret. If you go 10 London to raise money go to an obscure hotel and take lodgings. Keep away from the clubs and ex- changes. Deal only with the bankers. Give. them the fullest opportunity of investigation. When you get your money come away as secretly as you went. l got S95 COO in London once and had bogus suit brought to en- join me from carrying it out of the country until 1 should have settled commission 1 had never dreamed Qf contracting.

SAVED BY A SPARROW:
The Sight of a Lonely Bird Makes Ma
 of a Would-Be Suicide.

1 The Sight of a Lonely Bird Makes Man of Would-Bc Suicide. 1 Among the carly inhabitants of Buckfield was one Granville Maxim, a man of marked alility, but of very eccentric habits. He early manifested an ardent love of music, and for that day was said to have acquired very thorough knowledge of it's principles. He was an eminent composer and author of many of the most popular melodies of that day, which are now known as continentals. and by long and continued use have become so l firmly established in the hearts of not only the people of this State, but throughout the Union. as to render | their authors name as almosta house. hold word.
 In early life, as tradition tells us, he met with a serious disappointment in love. Tired of life, and disgusted with the world, he ono morning took a stout rope and wandered into tho deep forest between the Owls Head and Streaked Mountain, with the fixed pur. pose of putting an end 10 his existence. He continued hls way till he came to a deserted logging camp, where he esat down 10 rest and think the matter over. On the old hovel sat lone spar TOW uttering her lament at the dis turbing of her nest by some ruthless marauder. He sat for long time listening to the plaintive song of the bereaved bird. At last he thought to leave some memento which might chance to meet the eyes of his lady low, and in some measure remind her of his sutferings.
 Going to birch tree he removed a piece of bark, on which he wrote the following lines:
 As on some lonely building top,
 The sparrow tells her moan
 Far from the tents of joy and hope,
 I'll sit and grieve alone
 He then commenced to write a plaintive melody of most exquisite sweetness in the minor scale, justly befitting the language. When he had finished this he had become so inter- ested in his work he began to affix the other parts, and his whole mind and energies seemed wrapped up in the work before him.
 Evening had begun 10 cast it's shadows over the valley ere his task was completed. When the whole was adjusted to his liking. his lively imagination, to his infinite delight, pictured the glorious harmony which must arise from his subject when per formed by his competent chair. His love of life returned, and his idea of suicide vanished. Throwing his rope into the adjacent bushes he hastened homeward and became very popular and useful man. .-LeWistOn (l{e.) Journal

bird. but it won't spcaA q word. !"
 One day Polly listened to all this and
 when her owner carlo 10 the last sem

 ing: '1n short, she is very fine bird.
 but won't say word." After the spell was broken she showed off some | of her traits. She would clear Her throat and, with all of the airs of prima donna, would sing a few bars of '.Ah che h Morte" in good tune, cough, shake her head. and, say ing: Excuse me" would bow and strut of. planning her feathers much as Patti dees her train. A lady very fond of pets has three interesting parrots. One of them, Loric, is Spanish bird, and evidently imagines itself to be a STanish officer. as it spends a great deal of time initiating the roll of the drum, marching up and down, and haranguing the troops, beginning with tho Spanish word for 'AttentionP'
 Jocko. n fine yeIlow-head, sings 'Peek-a- boo.'' "Baby's Left the Cradle" Nancy Lee;" etc It is a very valuable bird, since it knows just where to laugh at the stupidcst joke, and thus gives inc cue 10 the auditors.
 PunchineIlo is beautiful gray Afri- can bird. with red markings on his wings. He also sings, and when he hears the telephone ring he calls: Ella. como quickr' Hello! is that you, Pauly? All right. Goodbye. Four-twenty off" When he sees the people go by to the church at the cor- ncr. he calls out; That's right, keep up appearances. And when a strangc gentleman turns in at the gate he ex- claims: "Oh! the parson; he'll stay to tea"
 1 know of another wise bird that asks the master of the house as soon as he comes in, "Where have you been. Frank?" Are you going to stay at home?" Have you been to the lodge?" etc.
 l think. however, that the wisest bird that have come across, since the first immortal Polly of my childhood days, is a parrot owned by Mrs: Minor Merriwethei3 the well-known cham piOn of woman's rights in this Vest ern country. Whenever it sees Mrs. Merriwether putting on n-her bonnet to go out, it sets its head on one side, winks at MT. Mcrriwether and asks: Will you vote to-day, Mrs. Merri- wether?" then laughs heartily at it's own joke. H. J. Pittman, an Harper's YO2LH0 PeODEe.
