Ventilation as Preventive Of Explosions.

Ventilation as a Preventive OF Explosions.
The excellent results attained by Pro
fessor Barrett, the electrician OF the
electrical department of the city of Chi
ca9o, in the prevention of explosions in
the subways of that city by the adoption
of a system of thorough ventilation
have been commended by New York
paper to the board of electrical control,
which from time to time has been much
exercised with the frequent explosions
that have taken place in tine subways
on Broadway and elsewhere.
1t is shown that the ventilation OF the
down town subways through the city
hall chimney is perfect, and that the
electric light posts furnish sufficient
ventilation at other points. 1t is also
urged that the city of New York can
derive much benefit by taking heed to
the example of Chicago, which has or
dered the electric light, telephone and
telegraph companies TO ventilate their
subways in order to prevent explosions.

Pigeons Build Nest Over Altar.
Since Friday two pigeons have been
engaged in making a nest for the win
ter above the altaraof the Immaculate
Conception church. Sunday the pas
tor, the Rev. p. McHale, preached for
the first time since he returned from
his visit to Rome, Paris and other
European cities, and gave the papal
benediction to the congregation. Dur
ing the service the fiuttering of the
pigeons attracted the attention of the
entire congregation, and in the. parish
it has been a subject of conversation
ever since. One of the pigeons is
white, with black spots, and the other
is of a grayish color. 1t is supposed
they found their way into the church
through the choir windows, which, un-
like the other windows, are not pro-
vided with screens. The pigeons thus
far have not made themselves annoy

new YORK AT THE MERCY OF MAINE.
Gotham Dealers must Have Ice No
Matter What the Cost.
The Rich Will Pay High Prices; the
Poor Will Co without.
a Scarcity Which Does Not Occur
once In Twenty Years.

NEW YORK, June THE ice question Is
assuming more serious aspect every day,
and If the truth were known there is scarce
ly dealer in this town who does not expect
that the first of September will find him with
out any Ice with which to fill his orders. AL
though there is still vast quantity of ice in
Maine, the harvesters Of it are determined
to make as much profit as possible out Of this
city, and are holding it in spite of the fact
that much Of it, being inadequately stored.
is running to waste. An old dealer In this
city said yesterday that the present scarcity
of Ice is something that this city does not ex-
perience once in twenty years, and that when
the time comes that we have to look to for
eign cities for our supply we are made to suf-
fer for our neglect of those cities in times of
plenty. One Ice dealer Is advertising Ice at
SS a ton, but this is at the pier, and even at
this price he claims that there Is very little
profit in it. W. A. Hayward, who has
charge of the business for G. l.. Riker, a
the ice they have on hand Is not more than
300 tons, and that 1t all came from Maine.
Indeed, there is no other place." he said.
'where we can hope to get supply at terms
that will enable us to compete with other
dealers. We can take from 5000 to 5000 tons
a day and store it properly. We have to ac-
cede to the demand of the Maine harvest
ers, because our neglect Of them In the past
has made them careless Of us, and deter
mined that what Ice they sell us shall yield
them big profit. Maine alway supplies the
Southern markets, and Philadelphia chief
supply comes from there. They
never get any New York trade, ex-
cept In time like this when there is great
scarcity of ice, and when we are COM
PEELED to call upon them they make their own
terms with us and we have to accede to them.
We have to go there personally and buy 1t
and charter Maine vessels for transportation,
and pay for this service all the way from
81. % to So a ton. OF course we could carry
the ice in cars, but the cost of transportation
would be as great If not greater and the
shrinkage would be twice as much"
Mr.. Hayward was asked how much Ice
there was in Maine, and he sad he did not
think the supply was more than one and
one-half million tons, which Is about half
what it takes to supply this city, Brooklyn,
and jersey City one season.
1t is not the small storekeeper who loses
anything by the increased cost OF Ice, 1t Is
the citizen, who pays more for everything he
eats and drinks because ice Is dear. Under
the circumstances it Is impossible for the
poor man to consider ice any longer in the
light of a necessity, and as he cannot afford
luxuries be goes without 1t. Ten per cent.
increase in the cost of ice to the storeekeeper
means an increase of 10 per cent In the cost
of everything he sells.

Mckinley of Ohio and many others, includ-

that the pending proposition was all the leg

After Ten Years.

Rev. Canon Sills, on Trinity Sunday, al
luded in fitting terms to the tenth anniversa-
ry of his connection with st. Luke's parish.
In the course of them he said:
The consideration Of the mutual respon-
sibilities between clergy and people cannot
but recall to the writer's mind The years of
his own m nistry and the many ways in
which the solemn duties laid upon him as
priest In the church OF God have been ne
elected; but while his own retrospect of his
life during these years cannot but be humili-
ating the review of the time as regards the
kindly relations between himself and those
whose servant he Is for Jesus's sake is such
as to cause his heart to overflow with deep
and lasting gratitude. Such record is full OF
true and loving friendship and Of acts Of af
fection and generous kindness Of which l
and my family have been the constant recip-
tents. refer to these acts only that l may
express once more my appreciation OF them
and my thankfulness to you, my brethren,
for your affectiOnate friendship. Believe
me, the many discouragements which come
in clergyman's life, and which sometimes
so grievously oppress his soul, can often be
removed by word or two OF kindly sympa-
thy, and renewed energy comes with some
word Of appreciation. 1t has been the hap
piness of my life here that L have never
been permitted to feel the lack Of this true
and encouraging sympathy from my beloved
bishop, or from the members OF the Cathe-
dral congregation.
The report of work done during these ten
years here, as far as figures could declare 1t,
might appear considerable, but the increase
Is God gift, and to Him be the praise. Year
by year, we trust, the spiritual life is being
deepened, and the things Of the higher life
more highly valued. We have all cause to
that for the first time In its history the par
ish Is absolutely free from debt.

charge against Lathen and Merdock Is that

lot of ready made clothing in bags, on which
they evaded duty. The arrests would have
been made then, but the vessel sailed before
the preparations could be perfected. Hart,

WASHINGTON, June 8.-The silver bill
passed the House Saturday afternoon in the
form determined on by the Republican eau.
Gus and by fair majority. Free coinage
was defeated by quite large majority, al
though several Western Republicans Joined
the Democrats. But enough Of the hard
money Democrats joined the Republicans to
kept away. The Republicans feel much
elated at their success in averting free coin-
age and attribute it, in a large degree, to the
bold course of the Speaker In making his in
huence felt in the party caucus and after
wards in bringing up the question under a
resolution from the committee on rules. The
first day, in the voting on the resolution, the
prospects at one time seemed very dubious,
but the Republicans held themselves togeth-
er sufficiently to save the day On the final
vote yesterday, Flower and other Eastern
Democrats voted with the Republicans. All
the Maine delegation were against free coin
age and Mr.. Dingley made a scholarly
speech against it.
The prompt action of the House on this
silver bill, while the Senate Is still dawdling
along in a leisurely debate is calling atten-
tion to the unusual success Of the House in
perfecting legislation. 1t has passed the
greater part of its appropriation bills, settled
the greater part of its contested election
cases. voted on the copyright bill, passed the
tariff and the silver bill, aud now has ahead
Of 1t only three great public measures, the
"original package" liquor bill. the bank
ruptcy bill and the Federal election BILL
which is regarded as very likely to come up.
1t is probably 20 years since the House has
been ahead of the Senate with its business
as it is now. 1t has always been the other
way, the Senate leading the House. This
prompt and successful despatch of public
business is highly gratifying to the House
Republicans and cOrrespondingly distasteful
to the Democrats.
