CHEAP GAS.

The water gas that, as announced, a
company proposes to supply in Chicago
at % or 80 cents per thousand, is to be
made by the English process at cost
not exceeding 10 cents per thousand. 1t
is asserted that it can be put in the
holders at even less, and that Is cents
will afford ample profit. There will be
no concern as to whether it is an Eng
lish or Chinese process if it can be
made at such figures and will meet the
requirements of an illuminant and
heater. Even Pittsburg, with its
natural gas, pays 81 per thousand. The
millennium will seem good deal nearer
when one can make faces at the coal
barons, and secure all the light and
heat requisite for the home at even 30
cents per thousand feet. Confidence is
expressed in the feasibility of this, pro-
vided the old gas monopolies or other
trusts do not swallow up the new de-
vice.

SUNDAY CHATTER.

Some strange spell recently melted
the editor of the Omaha Republican to
give his impressions of heaven. Local
enthusiasm evidently inspired him to
depict it in unfavorable contrast with
Omaha, perhaps to check the epidemic
of suicide that had become so alarming
there, in view of the fact that the census
period is at hand He asserts that in
heaven there is nothing of the sweet
ness of connubial life, as there is no
marrying; no ambition, as there is
nothing to gain; 10 hope. because there
is nothing to hope for; no gratitude, as
there is nothing to escape from: NO sue
cess, because there is no failure; no
qualification, because there is no desire :;
nothing to do, because everything has
been done; nothing to remember and
nothing to expect. In st. Paul and
other good places that would seem like
hell, and not heaven. 1t may serve,
however, to reconcile the minds of some
of the restless to continued residence at
Omaha.

FAsHIoNABUE MOURNING.

Lady HABBERToN, one of the leaders
in high society in England, is at the
head OF the crusade against women
wearing mourning costumes. She in
sists that the solemn black, with its
headdress and long and heavy veil, is
unhealthy and not in good taste. In
her view, good sense will lead to its
being discarded when break is made
in the allegiance to arbitrary and alb
surd fashion. 1t is protested that there
is unfair discrimination in the sexes.
Men are let off with band upon the
hat, while women must be immersed in
the habiliments of woe from head to
foot. 1t may. perhaps. be assumed that
the difference represents the relative
intensity and depth of grief in the
sexes, and that the somber hues protect
the sufferers from rude intrusion. They
will wear the mournful investiture
while fashion dictates and it is sup
posed to be becoming. There is incon-
gruity in the sight of men indulging in
hilarity and social fetes with the black
on their hats. 1t cannot be reconciled
with artistic grief.

"A Cure for Intemperanee.

The superintendent of the Washing
ton home, in Boston, devoted to the re-
clamation of inebriates, states some re-
suits of his observation as to the methods
people will adopt to find means of slim
ulation when deprived of the beverages
to which they are accustomed. He gives
very striking illustrations of the in
genuity shown in securing the effects of
inebriety without the use of alcohol.
The use of pernicious, and in some cases
ruinous drugs. is enormously on the in
crease where the use of the stimulating
beverages is discouraged by law or SEN
timent. The effects are bad, and the
system is infected TO a more dangerous
and pernicious extent. There are SIM
liar reports generally from the prohibit
ton districts. 1t is evident that broader
temperance should be inculcated. 1t is
not the liquor drinking that people care
for. 1t is the effect, not the cause. The
stimulation is sought. and if it is not
had with drink. it is found in opium and
other drugs. The only safety is in cor
recting the vicious appetite.

AERIAL NAVIGATION.

The recent disasters to those who are
experts in the navigation of the air are
not encouraging. 1t is one of the old
dreams that the art of aerial voyaging
could be reduced to exact and definite
conditions, and the upper element made
a means of rapid transit. The attempts
to borrow from nature the wings of the
bird have been unqualified failures, but
there is no difficulty in overcoming the
law of gravitation. The trouble is the
lack of precise knowledge of the laws
and currents to be met. The devices
have been innumerable, but the vaga-
ries of the atmosphere have baff1ed the
schemes of the inventors. Still, it is
possible that it may be found that in
the upper strata there are currents like
those of the ocean, and they can be
made available for the traveller. There
is, to many, fascination in the idea of
soaring in space that will incite to con-
tinued inventive efforts.

THE SERMON WAS LONG.

The sermon was long and the preacher was
prosy,
The cushion was soft and the corner was
coy;
And, musing. knew
BY my side in the pew
Was dear little face that was dimpled and
rosy.
A stray bit of lace and the curl of a feather
Lay close to my cheek. and l didn't care
whether
The service was long
Or flirting was wrong
In a lonely back pew, as we knelt down to-
gether.
In reading the prayers we had one book be-
tween us;
So sweet was that smile, had nobody seen
US.
While bent on our knees
ooh! how Cupid did tease)
/ had stolen kiss, with the prayer-book TO
screen us.
In the oriel window the sunlight was LEAN

In my drowsy old brain 1 felt love fancies
teeming;
Then my heart gave thump-
But my head got bump
On the back of the pew-I had only been
dreaming. Trio pical Times.

Theological GuessWork.

A preacher in one of the most popular
pulpits of the city last Sunday. in illus
trating the love of the Deity to His
creatures, asserted that no misfortune,
pain, sorrow, or seeming disaster of any
sort even in its supposed most trivial
feature, could have been spared without
breaking the chain forged by infinite
love, and defeating the divine purposes.
Mention was made of the Johnstown
calamity. but it was passed as too big
for the application. If the theory is
true, the destruction in Conemaugh val
ley was on the divine programme as an
exhibition of love. and those who sought
to prevent the dam from bursting were
attempting to thwart the purposes of
the Deity. The man or woman who
would avert or mitigate his or her own
suffering is evidentlyin danger Of frac-
turing the programme arranged by the
G0dIof Love. 1t is not surprising that
skepticism is prevalent in the sound of
pulpits that give forth such utterances.

The Convention of sneezers.

Q One of the advantages of the climate,
or some natural condition in the East,
and perhaps to limited extent in some
other sections, is that people can have
the hay fever. This gives them an OPP
portunity to join the Hay Fever associ-
alton, which holds it's annual meetings
on the top of some mountain. HENRY
WARD BEECHER was charter member,
and always joined in the annual sneeze.
The last meeting was held at Bethle-
hem, in the White mountain range,
when the president disclaimed that it
was a mutual admiration society. These
conglomerate sneezers have also liter
ature and various publications illustrat-
ing the object and uses of the hay fever.
1t is regarded as quite the thing to have
in genteel circles, as it affords a good
excuse for preachers and business men
to take summer vacation. Honorary
members of the society are allowed on
payment of 81. They get all the books,
but are not allowed to join in the
sneeze. Still. no one is advised to go
East to enjoy the privileges of the
society,"

The Two Death Scenes.

The man hung at Little Falls went off
in good humor in the early morning
gloom, and his example is to be COM
mended to those who are constrained to
pass out that way. An ill-tempered fell
low who was subjected to similar Or
deal in New Jersey, about the same
time, was enTaged because he had to
leave in that way. and the governor re-
fused to grant his appeals. In his rage
he asserted his purpose to come back as
ghost and haunt the prison. There
are some who fully believe that there
are ghostly precedents for such unbe-
coming retaliation. If it is practicable,
no doubt the fellow will carry out his
threat. There have been instances
where two parties made mutual agree
ment that the one who died first should
testthe feasibility of manifestation to
the survivor, and the latter has at
tested the actual occurrence, but others
were skeptics. If the New Jersey Jail
can have ghost come by appointment,
and for specified purpose, it will re-
iieve the monotony of prison life, and,
perhaps, remove some skepticism.

ONE OF THE DROMIOS.
Billy Crane and His Plans for
Next Season.

Next Season.
The time of year is fast approaching
when theatrical managers and the lead
ing ''StarS" are. wont to forego the
pleasures of country life and the ease
pertaining thereto and make up their
minds to settle down to hard work; for
the rehearsing of a company is,
as rule, more wearying than
the labor of actual performance
during the season. This is the
ii me, too, when the manuscripts of new
plays are being anxiously scanned and
an abundance of thought taken as to de-
vices and plans which will aid the
chances of success when the said new
plays shall be produced. So it is that.
among others, William n. Crane will
soon leave his reStful seclusion at Co
hasSet, on the coast of Massachusetts,
and begin active work with his
company in Boston in preparation
for the opening of his season.
which will take place in Chicago
early in September; so that in place of
pacing the deck of his natty steam
yacht, he will soon be tramping the
stage of the Hollis Street theater, and
giving directions to perspiring stage
carpenters and Scene-shifters. instead
of directing his sunburned sailor men.
But Crane, it appears, has not been idle
II any comedian ever began his
first season of independent en-
deavor with better equipment in
the way of dramatic material.
AS rule one new play, with second
string to fall back upon in case of neceS-
sity. is all that is considered necessary
for star, while Crane has round half
dozen of novelties. In the first place he
has new comedy on strictly Ameri-
can theme by David d. Lloyd. which he
will come to New York next week to
christen, for though the piece is fin
iShed, after months of elaboration, it is
not yet named. Then there will be
the new comedy ION Probation" of
more farcical nature than the forego-
ing, written for Mr.. Crane with especial
reference to his peculiarities by Messrs.
Brander Matthews and George Jessop.
As was recently pointed out, the absurd
charge that Matthews and Jessop had
plagiarized from lie Voyage de M.
PerrichOn" was all the more absurd in
view of the fact that Mr.. Crane has
wisely enough arranged for an
avowed adaptation of this "classic"
farce-cOmedy, and will present
the woes and weaknesses of
NJ. Perrichon giving due credit to their
author, the famous Lablche. One of
the most successful of recent produc-
tions in England is 1.-The Balloon"
comedy which is being played by no
less than six separate companies in the
English provinces. This, too, will form
an integral part of Mr.. Cranes roper
tory, and the list closes with an adapta-
ton from the German which belongs
more to the order of pathetic than of
farcieal comedy. In addition to the
shaping of this large amount of mate
rial, Mr.. Crane is also hard at work
preparing himself for the much-talked-
of productions of Henry W." and
1.-The Merry Wives of Windsor" the
two Shakespearian productions which
he purposes later on to put forward as
artistically and deliberately as is pos
sible even in these days of elaborate
production.

GOSSIP OF THE DAY.
Extra Session The presidentduring

Extra Session The president during
the past two weeks has
Of Congress. been visited by some
of the greatest Repub-
lican leaders of the nation. Among
them have been Senators ingalls,, Alli-
son. Chandler, Dolph and Hiscock,
while among others the new senator
from Minnesota, Washburn, has had a
long Interview with him. 1t may be
that offices in their respective states
have incidentally been mentioned as a
reason for their calling. But subject
of far more Importance has been under
consideration.
The GLOBE nearly three weeks ago
stated that in all probability an extra
session of congress would be called for
about the middle or the latter part of
October. This information came from
an Indiana statesman who visited the
White house to protest against it, but
who came away convinced that the pres
-ident had decided that question.
Again was this belief confirmed when
Senator Washburn, after conversation
with Mr.. Harrison q day or two ago,
told New York correspondent that the
president had assured him that it was
his intention to summon the national
legislature prior to the regular
session, which would naturally begin
in December, When the senator in
formed the president that he was about
to sail for Europe Mr.. Harrison re-
marked significantly that he must be
sure to return about the middle of Oc-
tOber. The senator expressed the hope
that there would be no extra session. The
president replied that the general i'm
preston prevailed among the Repub-
licans that the sooner the house was or
ganized the quicker could important
business impending be transacted. The
president again intimated his purpose
to do all in his power to facilitate such
legislation as was incumbent on the
next congress to enact.

WISDOM IN CHUNKS.

Worry kills more men than wars.
Experience gets there every time.
Great men can outgrOw nicknames.
Wisdom waits to be asked for advice.
A woman tired of hearing of love is
tired of loving.
Many man lives on the reputation
other people make for him.
The truth about some people is not
told until after they are dead.
If every man could have his way the
world would be almost depopulated.
The man that never knows the time
of day is always too late or too early to
wait.
Trusts are combinations of men and
corporations that cannot trust one an

Truths differ. Sometimes they are
told to mans face, and sometimes be-
hind his back.
The man that guesses at probabilities
often oyerreaches the mau that waits
for the truth.

composed bones. as it were. Having
studied some in his youth. and possess
ing a superficial knowledge of chem
istry, he brought samples to New
York, applied crucial tests, called
in the assistance of experts
in phospates, and, Eureka! it was as
certained that an immense bed of bone
phosphates had been struck. On the
pretense of railroad building good
deal of prospecting was INDUCED in,
and below the layer of bone-phosphate,
some five feet thick, another nine feet
thick of an inferior quality was found,
and below that still another. A lease OF
the farm on which these deposits were
found was quickly negotiated on
small royalty per ton; company will

\ noble Iniun sat one dav

A noble Injun sat one day
In peaceful contemplation
OF spreading plains with verdure gay;
The beauties of creation.
His eve was bright, his mind was clear;
Each muscle thrilled with power,
And sturdy effort lowered near
His rude domestic bower
The years rolled on; the white man came,
With innovations risky:
The pistol and the poker game.
Pam sandwiches and whisky
The, 1njun gaunt and hungry stalks
The streets of Denver city,
Inspiring everywhere he walks
Contempt unmixed with pity.
IF as of yore my time spent
All men would have despised me;
I'm glad says he, the white man went
To work and civilized me.
