Consumers Across the Monongahela Talk
About the Supply.
Magistrate Succop, of the Southside. who
lives on South Fifteenth street, had to take a
cold breakfast yesterday morning. He had a
good supply of gas until about 8 o'clock. when
the pressure became very low. 1t braced up
again in about an hour. He takes from the
Manufacturers' Company
Special Officer Carrigan. of the Southside po-
lice force, said-We have to burn wood at our
home.
Thomas McQuaid, of the West End-The sup
ply is simply miserable. The whole people in
our end of the city are complaining.
c. f. Hesselbarth, of the West End-The gas
was of entirely for nearly two hours on Tues
day and the supply is still week.
Thomas Richards-l can hardly complain vet
about the supply, although little more would
not be out of pIacs.
Constable James Sherran-Oh, think the
greatest difficulty is with the mills. l believe
the majority of private consumers have plenty
of gas; but the mills and glass houses are Still
short.
George Miller, South Seventeenth street,
will certainly stop the use of the fuel if it re-
mains this way very long.

A BOOM FOR LAUNDRIEs.

Householders Who Cannot Heat Water Send
Out the Family Wash.
The business of all the laundries has greatly
increased the present week, and notwithstand-
ing that they are behind in their work caused
by a poor supply of gas. they are taking
clothes with the greatest assurance in the
world that it will be delivered on time when
they know it will not be.
On account of the poor gas supply on Mon
day many families put off their washing until
Tuesday Tuesday came but brought no more
gas and if there was any change it was for the
worse. Yesterday there was very little i'm
provemen. and in despair the fine clothes were
given to laundry companies while the articles
that were not really needed were held over un-
til next week.

The Central police station has been for the
past two days what it should be, cold, cheer.
less place where buns could not rest as snug as
bugs in rug. The cell department is heated
by four large stoves and not since Monday has
there been as much warmth as could be found
in Delamater meeting.
One tramp who had spent several warm nights
in a cell, and who got in out of the rain last
evening, was so cold that he asked Sergeant
Gray to turn on little more gas. Upon learn
ing that the place was as warm as it could be
made, he got up and wanted to get out saying
he would rather carry the banner" than stay
in that cold place"

HOW THEIR MONEY GOES,

One Bet Made on Allegheny City and a
Proposition for the County.
For several days there has been lull in bet
ting circles about town, each man evidently
being on the wait for the other fellow to make
the first proposition as to how the political cat
would hop. No wagers of any magnitude on the
result in the State are reported, but there is
considerable guessing as to Allegheny county.
Yesterday bet of 500 even was made in
Quincy Robinson's cigar store that all of Allie
gheny City situate east of Federal street would
give majority tor Pattison.
Another speculator who has ideas of his own
as to Delamater's popularity in the county. has
$500 on deposit at The place where the first
wager was made. which he will put up at eyens
that the Republican nominee will not carry the
county by 1000 majority. A few small bets were
heard of, but they are not worth reporting.

School Houses.

Shivering youngsters add to their protest with
that of their parents on the Northside on ac-
count of the shortage of natural gas. The
schoolhouses are supposed to be supplied with
natural gas. but they are not. Tuesday the
upper building in the Third ward had 20 be
closed after vain attempt to keep warm by
assigning the youngsters, geography lessons to
study about the torrid zone. One little fellow
said he had imagined that he was warm until
he heard his teeth chatter, when he gave it up
bad job.
Superintendent Morrow said last evening that
while he knows only of the condition in the
Third ward, he supposed it was the same all
over the city. The High school building is
being prepared for coal and soon will be all
right 1t is perhaps no worse than last season,
but is positively no better.

HINTS TO LIQUOR MEN
The circular then adds:

From the above extracts any one can see that
Ex-Governor Pattison's views are narrow upon
this question, and, in fact would be assured that
any modification of the Brooks law would be met
with veto. That the Brooks law has failed TO
meet the expectations Of the people caunot be de-
MED; and chief among the reasons therefor has
been the entire inability of the courts to give
the time needful to full investigation
by each and every case. The disapprobation of
the public has resulted in the suggestion of a
remedy, to be considered by the Legislature, look
ing to the appointment of a non-partisan excise
commission who will give their entire time to the
granting of licenses, holding quarterly sessions
for that purpose"
The circular also goes on to say that Eek Gov-
ernoi Pattison was the first official to advocate
high license, with stringent regulations and
heavy penalties;' it prints extracts from the
address issued by the Citizens Alliance in
dorsing Pattison. and gives the names of 43
ministers who signed it. The circular con-
cludes with the following comprehensive ap-
peal, in extra large type:
EVERY person engaged in the liquor business.
every person gran ted Il license every unfortunate
person who has been refused license, every per-
son expecting to apply for license in the future.

the Potato Vines.
Potato hugs and potato rot can be pre-
vented by spraying the vines with the
bordeaux mixture, adding l pound Of
London purple or Of Paris green 70 each
100 gallons OF the mixture. This prac-
tice was followed by the Ohio expert
mcnt station last year, tho vines being
sprayed May g. June 20. June ~, and
July 10. Blight appeared about the
middle Of June and did serious damage
for the next six weeks on such plants
Is were not sprayed. The sprayed vines
showed much less injury, remaining
green after the others were dead and
yielded : profitable crop. while the
blightcd and unspraycd portion Of the
field was a practical failure. The tubcrs
on tho treated portions were also much
more free from scab.
1t will DO seen that II is nc more work
20 apply this preventive OF potato rot
than to spray on the usual solution to
kill the bugs. as both operations can be
done AZ ono time. The bordeaux mix
turc Is made as follows: Dissolve OF
pounds Of sulphate OF copper GLUE

pounds Of lime in . quarts Of water; add
81 gallons Of water to the slakcd lime.
and pour this into the vessel containing
the copper solution, rejecting while
doing SO the undissolvcd Jumps Of limo.
Another formula for the bordeaux mix
turc il 70 dissolve . pounds Of copper
sulphatc in IL gallons OF water. and In
another vessel slakc 4 pounds Of lime In
O quarts or water. mixing the two after
they are cool. This mixture y also the
