An Interchange Of Views as to Its Being Sup
plemented BY an Artificial Product

Yesterday afternoon a conversation was
in progress among a number OF gentlemen.
one of whom is gas expert Il see," said
one, that Professor Orion, the State Cecil
ogist of Ohio, who is considered to be au-
thority on the subject, has published to the
world that in three years Ohio Will be
practically without natural gas"
'Yes,n said another. II have seen him
credited with saying something OF that
kind, and also that, while he had no faith
in the continuance of the supply OF natural
gas, he had faith that before the supply
gave out some practical method of produc-
ing and manufacturing fuel gas to take Its
place would be developed. He said he had
lime faith that manufactured gas would
speedily come. Pm not quoting his words,
butthat's approximately correct"
II don't like to say anything against the
opinion of SO eminent an authority as Prof.
Orton." remarked the gas expert. IL think
his prediction that the Ohio gas supply
will give out in a few years. would not
same thing might be predicted of Indianas
gas-fuel supply. though we think we have
a larger field than Ohio. What challenge
is the Professors assumption that he and
the rest of mankind are to have manu-
featured fuel-gas to take the place OF
natural gas. There are certain barriers,
almost impossible. in the way of reducing
an artificial gas to anything like
a commercial success. There is not
to-day in the United States or In Europe q
large and central station built for the pur-
pose of supplying artificial heating gas
which is commercial success. The incen-
tive to make cheap gas-fuel has been
great, and idle capital has long been ready
to rush into anything of the kind that
promised success. Could such fuel have
been made on satisfactory terms 1T won.d
have long ago found capital to back it. In
dianapolls will use $4,000. 600 cubic feet OF
natural gas day in cold weather. 1t that
amount of artificial gas was required, OF
even one-half, think Of the storage capacity
that would have to be provided. The
capitalization for it alone would
be $1,000, 600. Natural gas is de-
livered to us by nature under enormous
initial pressure. There is no known means
for distributing manufactured gas by any
pressure at all approaching that. The cap.
italization necessary to generate. hold and
distribute artificial gas is an absolute bar.
rier to it's ever being sold at price that
will bring it into competition with coal.
am inclined to think with Professor Orion,
however, that in three years Indiana coal
mining stock will be better property than
1T ever was.

PROVIDED WITH HEADQUARTERS.
Additional Features Of the Sunday School
Work That Has Been lnaugurated.

No. 40 Circle street, in the Journal Build
ing. on the ground floor. has been fitted up
and looks quite business-like, as the head
quarters of four different religious organi-
zations-the indianapolis Sunday-school
Association, the Indiana Sunday-school
Union. the International Sunday In
stitute and the indianapolis Bible Society.
Rev. DR.. j. Z. Gilbert is superintendent of
the three first named. Certain special
features of the Sunday school organiza-
tions have been heretofore described, but
there is to be added publication depart
ment This will relate to the issuance of
textbooks for the Sunday school training
classes to be edited by DR.. Gilbert.
Before being printed all publications will
be submitted to committee, and the in
dorsement of this committee, each member
of which belongs to different one of the
great Protestant denominations, will be
virtually an Endorsement by all these de-
nominations. The committee is composed
of Rev. n. A. Hyde, u. d., Congregational;
Rev. j. s. Jenckes. LII. ID. Episcopal; Rev.
NJ. l.. Haines, d. D., Presbyterian; Rev. j.
H. Ford, ID. D., Methodist; Rev. w. +.
Taylor, A NJ, Baptist; Rev. ID. X. Lucas, A.
NJ. Christian; Rev. John Baltzly, A. NJ.
Lutheran.
There is also to be inaugurated system of
house-tO-house visitation in all the cities of
the State, the purpose of which will be to
bring the children into the Sunday
and it is because of this particular feature
that an alliance has been made with the
Bible society to furnish homes that do not
have them with the Scriptures.

Occultation of Jupiter.

The occultation of Jupiter. the hiding of
that planet by the moon from the view of
the denizens of earth, took place last night,
according to announcement, the sky being
favorable for the observation of the phe-
nomenon. Though there were many clouds,
they did not obscure the moon until after
occultation. took place. All along the
streets wertpersons observing the phenom-
enon. which required no glass. up to $50
O'Clock, after which. time the view might
have been prolonged for some time by
means of a good telescope. The occultation
continued fOrty-nine minutes, when Jupi-
ter reappeared and continued on his bright
and shining way.

Republicans Actively at Work.

The Republican city central committee
will meet at the rooms Of the Indianapolis
Club, at o'clock this evening, and it is
likely the reports of its several members
will show that their work has been gotten
well under way. Every ward in the city.
with the exception of the Sixteenth, has
organized for work. and it is probable the
vacancy in the position o: committeeman
from that ward win be filled during the
next few days. 1t is expected that
the executive committee will be
announced tonight, and by resolution of
the general committee the first-named body
will have the authority to designate the
time and place of the Republican city con-
vention. The feeling now is Enthusiastically
in favor of q late convention, and it is
probable, for this reason, that the nomina-
tion Of q candidate for Mayor may not be
made until after the middle of the present
month. The general work of preparation
and organization. however, will not be de-
layed in consequence, and there Is no pres
sure on the part of the friends of candidates
to hasten the decision of the party by means
of an early convention. The universally
expressed wish is to find the best man
available for the. place, and the delay in
making the selection will give larger OPP
portunity for locating that particular indi-
vidual. The activity of the saloon men in
promoting the Democratic canvass. and
their reported munifcence in contributing
to the Golfers of the Democratic exchequer,
has aroused a good deal of feeling among
people who object to having city politics
dominated by the saloon element. 1t is not
among the improbabilities that before the
| campaign Is ended an issue will be clearly
| drawn between this element and those who
believe that the saloon, instead of conuroll-
ing. the city government. should be con-
frOlled bv IL.

announcing that the contract was awarded
too late to give ample time to get the books
into the schools this fall in the best shape,
he adds. with q smile that is both childlike
and bland. but we believe we have moth
ing to be ashamed off,
Word comes from Charlottesville that J..
s. Zook, the Democratic county superin-
tendent of Montgomery county, is deter
mined that the new school-books shall be
introduced into the schools this fall At
the meeting of the County Board of Educa-
tion. this week. at Charlottesville, "a reso-
luton was introduced to the effect that the
books will not be used until the Supreme
Court has passed upon the law. Four trus-
tees voted in favor of the resolution. and
four did not vote. Then the superintend-
ent, who was the presiding officer, declared
the resolution lost. and ordered the new
books be used at once.

Moo Chee,S Valuables.

Moo Chez, an almond-eyed Celestial, who
runs laundry at 16S West Washington
street, is in mingled state of perturbation
and perspiratiOn. When Moo left the
laundry last evening, about o'clock, some
one of the hght-fngered gentry entered
and robbed him of $3.50 in cash and three
rings, one of which he asserts was worth
500, it being set with diamonds. Mr.. Chez
gave information to the police of his loss,
but in such An unintelligible manner
from his broken English that nothing
much could be CLEANED from his story,
which went to show that he secreted the
money in the mattress of the bed, and that
it was there when he left the premises, at 6
o'clock. On returning he at once discov-
cred his loss. A revolver which was placed
in the same hiding place as the money was
not taken. The ring and pocket-book both
had some Chinese hieroglyphics engraved
on them, and will thus be easily identified
as the stolen property. 1t is evident that
the theft was committed by some one well
acquainted with the premises, and also
with the Chinaman's habits.

tage, in Military Park, and there was
spirited co ntest between Edward Dunn

nominated by vote of 295 to III. In the
Fourteenth ward William Z. Davis was
nominated by acclamation. all the
other candidates having withdrawn
their names In the Seventeenth ward
James NJ. feathers was unanimously NOM
mated. and in the Twenty-fourth William
Weigel was the unanimous choice of the
Republicans of the ward as their represent

licans, and can be relied upon for an ener-
getic canvass.
In the Sixteenth ward the Republican
PRIMARY will probably be held some even
ing next week for the selection of candi-
date for Councilman, and also of commit
teeman. DIR. carp having concluded, by
reason of other engagements, to decline the
