THE FREE-GAS CANVASS.
A Very Encouraging Beginning and a Prom
Using Outlook for the Enterprise.

Committeeman who began yesterday the
canvass in aid of the project for free gas to
manufacturers report that they have yet to
find the first owner of lands along the line
of the Belt road who is unwilling to con-
tribute his full share toward making it a
success. The subscriptions already taken,
based upon land, are subject to revision by
arbitrator, if the appralsement committee
to be hereafter appointed by the stock
holders deem such revision necessary,
and the same rule will be observed with
reference to subscriptions to be taken here
after. When the canvass among the Belt
line landowners has progressed sufficiently
to show that they mean to bear their full
part of the enterprise, it is intended to be-
gin the general canvass for subscriptions
and everybody will be given the Oppor-
tunity to help, if only to the extent of a $40
share. II am agreeably disappointed in the
character of the work assigned to me" said
one of the canvassers. 81 expected to find
more or less opposition and backwardness
in coming to the front among some people
on my list, but the public seems to under
stand and appreciate the importance of the
movement, and the general feeling is one
of hearty support for the project, and con-
fidence in its promoters"

Elecfric-Lfgnt Wires.

The members of Council are at a loss to
know what action they should take in re-
gard to the wires of electric-light COM
panies furnishing incandescent lights.
Som time ago an ordinance was passed re-
quiring all companies of that character, ex-
cept the Brush, to place their wires under
ground. At the time the ordinance was
passed several companies were asking the
right to come into the city, and one. oper-
ated by c.. c. Perry. had already estab-
lished q plant and was furnishing light for
quite a number of buildings. Mr.. Per-
ry has been extending his service
since the passage of the ordinance, and
recently the complaint was raised that he
did not comply with the ordinance, as all
his wires are strung overhead. The COM
plant has resulted in two new ordinances
being introduced in Council. one of which
proposes to grant Mr.. Perry the privilege of
keeping his wires as they are, and the 9TH
er is to compel all companies, including the
Brush, to put their wires under ground. If
this is lone a number of outside companies
asking to come into the city will remain
away from the city, but the Council now
hesitates about sa%nctioning the indiscrim-
mate hanging of the wires. The cOmpa-
MES. including those already operating
incandescent plants, say they cannot afford
to continue in business in case they are
compelled to put all their wires under
ground.

IMPROVING THE STREETS.
Litigation Threatened Under the Plan Com
missioner DeRuiter Has Adopted.

The city, no doubt, will soon be in litiga-
tiOn with all the natural-gas companies
over the street improvements to be made by
Street Commissioner DeRuiter. The off,
GERS of the Consumers Trust have served
notice on that official that they will resist
his right to improve the streets at the ex-
pense of that company, and like notices are
expected from the other companies. The
officers of the Trust in their communica-
ton state that they expect to comply with
their contract with the city, and put in
condition the streets in which they have
laid mains, but that they will not pay for
work done by the street commissioner IN
der his recent authority from Coun-
having taken too many promises
from the companies, will not serve any
more notices on them to begin work. I'm
less they have begun putting the streets in
good repair by next Monday he will go
ahead as he has been directed to do. The
Council has signifed its willingness to
allow him to expend $4,000 in making the
improvements. and 1000 has already been
appropriated. City Attorney Taylor says
there is no doubt but that the amount ex-
pended can be collected from the companies
In case they. do not immediately comply
with the notices sent them. The natural
gas ordinance under which the mains were
laid specifically provides that the compa-
MES shall put the streets in as good condition
as they were before the laying of mains
began, and that in case they fail to do it, the
street commissioner shall do the work ut
their expense. Mr.. DeRuiter thinks the
companies are fighting for time. After one
year has elapsed they cannot be compelled
to maket the improvements, and the limita-
ton as to some of the streets will expire in
a few waaks

In a contest with no special features,
though the fielding was good on both sides.
The weather was cold, and a brisk, pene-
trating wind made it very unpleasant for
the 1000 spectators. The game opened with
Hecker and Vaughn in the points for the
visitors, while Burdick and Daily did SIM
liar service for the Hoosiers. The home
team started the ball rolling in the most
energetic manner, and should have taken a
winning lead in the first inning, but by
clumsy work on the lines threw away a
splendid chance to bring victory to its side.
Three clean singles and adouble only netted
one run, which the visitors tied on a base
on balls, two outs and a hit. Hines began
by driving a liner to left center for a base,
and took third on Seery's single, who
reached second on Glasscock's grounder
past short, Hines scoring, and Denny flew
out to Wolf, but Daily kept up the good
work by sending the ball over Weaver's
head for two bases. Seery, thinking the
ball would be caught, remained at second

this they were scattered, and did but little

A PLAN FOR RIGID ECONOMY.
The Problem of HOwtO Make the Revenues Pay
All Demands to Be Made Upon the State.

In the event that the State officers are
compelled to conduct the financial affairs
of the commonwealth without any help
from the loan which the last Legislature
undertook to authorize. they will begin
without any of the burdens which are con
nected with the care of a balance OF hand.
The advances made by county treasurers In
response to the request of the State Treas
urer were exhausted by the payment of
salaries on the 1st inst, and the Treasury
yesterday was practically in the condition
of the cupboard of old Mother Hubbard
when she made her celebrated visit to that
gagged yesterday in looking over the list of
appropriations made by the Legisla-
ture, with a view of arranging
them in such shape that they
could be dealt with according to the
exigencies of the situation. The plan un-
der consideration is to marshal the various
institutions i'm the order of their necessity
to the State, and divide what is left after
paying the current expenses OF the govern
ment among them in such n as to Oc-
casion the least possible amount of detri-
ment to the public interests. 1t is not ex-
pected that all of them, under the contin-
gency contemplated, will receive anything.

der the circumstances.
The Governor stated that he approved
the plan proposed Of having the law
junction against the issue of the
a reletting of the proposed loan under the
act to which the German Savings Bank OBJ
jects. In the event that the law was up
held by the Supreme Court. the decision of
that court would set at rest all doubts con
corning the validity of bonds sought to be
issued under it: and in any event he
thought that was the only time the loan
could be properly questioned. After the
bonds had been issued and placed in the
hands of purchasers, he did not believe
anyone could successfully contest their col
lection from the State by those who held
them. Up to late last evening nc further
message had been received from Treasurer
Lemcke or Auditor Carr, concerning their
efforts to negotiate the loan with the Ger
man Savings Bank, and it is probable no
further account of their mission will be
had here until their return on Monday
next.

whitney in good Condition.

James Whitney, the home clubs new
pitcher, arrived from Boston yesterday
afternoon. and is at the Grand Hotel. He
has not signed a contract yet, but will
doubtless do so when he sees President
Brush this morning. He said to a reporter,
last night, that he is in splendid health,
and feels that his arm is as good as it ever
was. In speaking of the Indianapolis team
he said that it ought to make a creditable
showing in the League race. and he ex-
pected to see it among the leaders at the
close of the season. Whitney is as tall as
Healy, and weighs about 175 pounds.
Though of slender build he looks like a
strong. man, physically, and has nothing
number. He will practice with the team
at the park this morning.

IRON the time of the first great etcher,
i Rembrandt, until about the middle
of this century, etching was practically
unknown to the public, and not supposed
to be of practical utility, except for
small, sketchy plates and for preliminary
etching for engrayers. All this has ma
terially changed in our day, and the
most ambitious works by the greatest

TT is never amiss as winter ap-
| proaches to suggest the propriety
of watchfulness against fires, says
Colman's Rural World. Nowhere
is this more desirable than in the
homes and the barns of farmers.
Unfortunately, men will smoke, and
the long use of matches makes many
careless in handling them, not only
for use, hut in their pockets. Doubt
less, many barns have been destroy
ed by the accidental pulling of
matches out of the pockets unob-
served. But, in the house, as well
as in the barn is care suggested.
Ninety-fve per cent. ofthe accidents
by fire might be avoided by care.
The handling of coal oil and lamps,
the use of old stove pipes, and sparks
popping from the fire are doubtless
the occasion of the majority of fires.
The lamps should be filed. cleaned
and trimmed only in the day time,
and they should never be allowed to
become foul or to be used halt
empty. Old and rust eaten stove
pipes are very dangerous. An ounce
of prevention is better than q pound
Of cure.

r TTAVE you noticed that while far
IN mers' boys are focking to the
: city to do clerical drudgery at
little more than starvation wages,
their city employers, the far-sighted
business men, are investing heavily
in farm property? asks the Drovers'
Journal, and then adds that it feels
safe in asserting that more than half
of the wealthiest business men of
Chicago have bought or are buying
farms. The fact is significant one
for young farmers to bear in mind.
It means that while the value of
property is at low ebb now, the
time will come when much of the
best farm property will be in the
hands of those who are now paying
smart country boys SO per week for
ten to fifteen hours counter or desk
work per day.

ment law, while South Carolina
