Hang Up tho Commandments.
tFor the Dispatcn.l

In Richmond there are q great many fac.
tories and workshops where they employ
from five to five hundred hands day, both
male and female, some Of them, perhaps,
that never think of going TO church. Now,
think it would be a good plan IL some OF
our devoted Christian workers would have
the Ten Commandments printed on card
seventeen inches by thirty in large. plain
and shops where they could be seen and
read by all. Oh. you don't know the vast
amount OF good IL would do. am sure
the proprietors of these establishments
would be glad TO have you do It, and would
assist you in doing 1t. Now, here is Q
beautiful field for some Of our devoted
Christians to SOW in for the blessed Mas
ter's use. God speed the work.

The Philharmonic concert last night was
an agreeable affair." and yet it can hardly
be pronounced an entire success. The au-
oience was not SO large as at the former
concert.
BY far the best parts of the programme
were the orchestral numbers. which were
rendered evenly and smoothly, and were not
deficient in spirit. The orchestra did Its
best work in Johannes Brahms "Hunge-
rian Dances" which We're given with a
delicacy of expression that would have
done credit 20 metropolitan orchestra.
Another very pleasant bit Of work
was the rendition of MIR. Jacob Reinhardtss g
Indian War Dance most unique aud
cleverly- reconstructed genre piece. The good
playing of the orchestra was malifestly
duo in a large degree to Mr.. Shaw's intelli-
gent and musicianly phrasing.
The sOloists who assisted the orchestra
were Mrs. Louis Metzger, ccntralto, and
Mr.. r. S. Baker. basso. Both have round
and pleasant voices, and Mr.. Baker takes
his low notes with great ease. He Is not
familiar with the concert stage and appears
to disadvantage. Mrs. MetZger won quite
hearty ercores and had to respond twice.
Mr.. Baker also sang an encore and this was
perhaps his best number.

IF GAS WERE MADE CHEAPER.
superintendent Adams Does Not Think II
Would Lessen the City's Income.

At the meeting Of the Board of Alder,
men Monday night Mr.. Turpin, az stated
in tho Dispatch Yesterday, introduced re-
solution requesting the Finance Commit
tee to inquire what effect Il reduction IN
the price of gas from $3.50 TO Sl.25 per
] coo cubic feet would have upon the CITY b
finances.
There is no man in Richmond more
capable Of solving this problem than Su-
perintendent w. G. Adams, of the city
gas-works. and, therefore, in order to gam
all the information possible on the SUD-
ject q representative of the Dispdich pro-
cured the views of that official yesterday.
Mr.. Adams was averse TO talking, as the
matter is practically in the hands OF the
Finance Committee, but after some per-
suasion he gave the following:
TEMPORARY DECREASE.
Taking last years consumption as o
basis, the city's revenue would be ue-
creased S2l ,457-that is, on the suppositlon
that there is no increase IN the eonsuhlp-
tion. If competing electric companies are
allowed to come in the deficit would be
larger than this. Gas costs at the burner
about 76 cents per 1000 cubic feet (not
counting interest on the plant, so II
IT. 165, 600 feet more were used per year
there would be no decrease in revenue. In
making this calculation | figure that gas
costs, with interest on the plant, Sl,l25s
per 900 cubic feet at the burner.
II WOULD PAY WELL.
"Such an increase as this could not be
expected the first year. but after that
there is no doubt but what 1t would be
equal to or in excess of that amount the
second, and in time the deduction would
result in an increase of the city's revenue.
This has been the history of gas reduc-
tions in Richmond. In 1870 the consump-
ton Of gas was only 1000. 900 feet, and the
price SO per thousand; IN 1890 IT was 49,
3l3. .OOj at $3.50. The profit on the latter
quantity was undoubtedly greater than on
the former.
THE private consumption Of gas last
year was 12s,744, 100. The amount. con-
sumed by street-lamps and pubic build
ings was "A .599, 400. This was total OF
over Ia, ,343, 500.
An UNFAIR TAX.
1.-THE bearing of the electric-light plant on
the gas question is quite close. Under tho
present regime the man who uses eloctrlcl-
ty or oil for lighting pays nothing towards
the street gas-lamps. This IS manltestly
unfair. and q special tax ought TO be Levied
on all alike for this purpose"

Abused Nature Had Revenge.

Michael Fernon. living beyond Factory
vile, Wyoming county, near the Nicholson
tunnel at Scranton, Pa, was aroused
Tuesday from four years sleep which
was only broken by semi-conscious periods
produced by hunger. t'ernon was for
many years night watchinan at the tunnel.
and worked a small farm on which he lived
during the day. He became so exhausted,
mentally and physically that one morning.
on returning home lie sank into profound
sleep, from which he could not be aroused
that day. For several days he lay asleep.
Doctors watched over him until hunger
partially awolle him. but after eating he
again dozed of. and so it has gone for
these four years. 1he man in all this time
never uttered an Ineligible sentence. The
doctors ascribe the sleep TO overwork and
the dampness of The tunnel through which
he walked after the passage of every train.
His health continuing good they left the
sleeper to himself. He was recalled TO his
senses by the death OF daughter, who has
just died.
