As to Payment of Gas Bills.

Many people are daily making inquiries
at the city clerks office in regard to the
right of naturalgas company to collect
from consumers month in advance, with
the threat that unless payment is made the
amined the ordinance, yesterday, and give
it as their opinion that consumers are not
compelled to make such payment. The
ordinance. they say, is specific in saying
that gas cannot be turned off for non-pay-
ment of bills until the 10th of the month
succeeding the one for which payment has
not been made. Or. in other words, if a
consumer has not paid his bill for Decem-
Der gas by Jan. 10, the gas fuel can be dis
continued by the company.

CULLINGs FROM THE COURTS.
A Demurrer to One of the Suits Against
Hawkins Overruled.


The opinion of Judge Howe, sustaining
the demurrer to the damage suits against
United States Marshal Hawkins, will not
effect all suits of this character. If the
opinion is held by the higher court to be
good law, it will only apply to suits in
which the complaint alleges that the arrest
was made by the deputy alone, and not at
the personal direction of the marshal.
Judge Walker yesterday overruled de-
murrer to one of the suits against Hawkins
in his court. The plaintiff is James Z.
Thompson, of Shelbyville. He took
the precautiOn to allege In his
complaint that the arrest was
made on the personal direction of the
marshal, and the Judge said that where
such was the allegation. and 1t was sub

Trial of George Ferrand.

The trial of George FeIrand, twenty
three years of age, for murder, progressed
rapidly yesterday. The evidence was near
ly all heard, and the case will be submitted
to the jury some time to-day. The pa1tic-
ulars of the killing, as brought out in the
trial, do not differ from those published at
the time of the commission of the crime.
The three eye-witnesses told practically
drunk, on a horse, when Ferrand made re-
marks that angered him. Getting Oft his
horse, he picked up a small-sized fence-rail,
and started toward Ferrand. The latter
heed the admonition, and struck at Ferrand
with the rail. While he was preparing to
strike a second blow, Ferrand brought his
revolver into use, and shot his assailant.

After coming in out of the rain let
the umbrella down and stand it on the
handle, that it may dry in this position I;
the water will thus drip from the edges
of the frame and the cover dry uni
formly. When placed with the handle
upward, as is frequently done, the
water runs to the top of the umbrella
and the moisture is there retained in the
lining underneath the ring for some
length of time, causing the silk or fabric
with which the frame is covered to be-
come tender and soon rot. Ordinarily
the top of an umbrella wears out sooner
than the other part of it, and in the
majority of cases may be thus accounted
for. A silk umbrella is much injured
by being left open to dry; the silk be-
comes stretched and stiff and will
sooner split thus cared for. When not
in use let the folds lie loose, not fastened
down; the creases are less apt to split
from this usage. Dispense with an UNI
brella-case except in travelling, as a pro-
lection from dust and cinders. To the
friction from the case is partially due
the minute perforations that appear in
the silk in spite of all care and expense
in purchasing. When carried in the
hand in anticipation of falling weather,
the folds may be strapped down, as it
adds to the neatness of its appearance

following incident: "Once l made a

Kitchen Floors.

To the careful housewife there are
few things more veXatious than an I'M
slightly, rough kitchen floor, betraying
with utmost candor the ravages of heavy
footprints or spots of grease, souvenirs
of carelessness, or of accident liable to
befall the most accomplished cook. A
dash of cold water, Immediately APP
piled, prevents the grease penetrating
deeply into the wood, or a hot iron
placed over the offending spot, first
covered with common blotting- paper,
will draw it out and the soreness from
the heart simultaneously. 1t may be
necessary to apply two or three sheets
of paper; this, followed by the scrub
bing-brush, dipped in weak lye, or water
to which has been added a spoonful or
two of ammonia, will remove all trace
of it. A son of Neptune says that
grease-spots are obliterated by ordinary
whitewash; that is the treatment for
such eye-sores in the navy. A good
plan is to oil the kitchen floor when
first laid. Extra spots of grease are
then invisible upon it; or for smooth
kitchen floor, black walnut stain may
be preferred by some persons. This
stain lends itself readily to convenience
and beauty, as it is easily restored, when
worn off in places, by applying the stain
to such spots at night with brush, or
even soft cloth will suffice; by morn
ing it will have dried. For the stain,
mix in two quarts of water three ounces
of washing-soda, five ounces of Van
dyke brown and half an ounce of BIZ
chromate of potash. Boil ten minutes
May be used hot or cold. Paint may
be removed from the floor previous to
staining it by applying wash made of
three parts lime (slacking iD to one
part of pearash, mixed to the consist
ency of paint. Spread this over the en-
tire floor, to remain for twenty-four
hours. 1t can then be easily scraped
off. Wash off the floor. When dry,
paint with the stain. If there are any
cracks in the floor, they can be filled
with plaster of Paris, mixed with water
TO thick cream. Mix but little at a
time. 1t hardens very quickly, and
then can not be used. This filling is
excellent for cracks in ceiling or walls
or nail-holes in plastering, as thick as
plastering, and put in smoothly. 1t is
preferable to mortar for this purpose
as it does not shrink. If the cracks are
very large, white sand may be used with
it. Mixed with gumarabic water, plaster
of Paris makes an excellent white ce.
ment. Mix but small quantity, and

that taints the breath so unpleasantly,
families will be putting their pills in

Some persons have seriously con-
templated becoming Christians this
spring who have hesitated and hung
back because it seemed to them a dread
full undertaking. This is the delusion
which destroys many. 1t is not dread
full, but unspeakably glorious. Does a
hungry man think it dreadful thing to
sit down to a table loaded with good
things? Does he who thirsts after
knowledge consider it dreadful to be
admitted to the best school and the
best library in the world? Does the
bride who has anticipated her wedding
day for years think it dreadful thing
when the bridegroom knocks at the
door? Does the lost child who has
wandered for days in the mountains
think it dreadful thing when he sees
the front door of his fathers house open
to receive him? If one who shrinks
back from religion with fear should
read these lines, let him enter the open
door with gladness, and the seeming
crown of thorns will prove crown of
glory.-Ne,O York Advocate.

The Old Home.

In the quiet shadows of twilight
stand by the garden door,
And gaze on the old, old homestead,
SO cherished and loved of yore,
But the ivy now is twining
Unframed DER window and WALL
And no more the voice of the children
Is echoing through the hall.
Through years of pain and sorrow,
Since first had 60 part.
The thought of the dear old homestead
Has fingered around my heart;
The porch empowered with roses,
The gables dropping caves,
And the songs of the birds at twilight
Amid the orchard leaves.
And the forms Of those who loved me
In the happy childhood years
Appear at the dusky windows.
Through the vision dimmed with tears.
hear their voices calling
From the shadows far away,
And stretch my arms out toward them
In the gloom of the twilight gray.
But only the night winds answer,
AS cry through the dismal air;
And only the bat comes swooping
From the darkness of its lair.
Yet still the voice of my childhood
Is calling from far away,
And the faces of those who loved me
Smile through the shadows gray.
