We have just completed invoicing.
The result is very gratifying to us. Not
so much for its money item value as the
fact that the year just closed has made
for us thousands Of customers, showing
an increase far beyond our most sangu-
inc expectations. We feel grateful to-
ward every patron for the part they
have taken in supporting our honest
and successful battle against high prices.
AT various times would-be competitors
have tried to mislead the public by as
sorting that we could not possibly sci
goods at the prices we advertise. This
persistent display of jealousy on their
part has materially strengthened Us,
and while we appreciate the result OF
their conduct, we cannot but pity the
spirit that prompts such methods. We
fear no competition. We are not afraid
to advertise prices and the reputation
of our house is a sufficient guarantee
that you will find every article We sell
to be Just what we say it is, and at just

GENERAL COMPLAINT
From Consumers About the Price OF
Natural Gas.

When the Natural Gas Company Of
West Virginia placed meters in the
houses of consumers TO register the
amount OF gas burned, there was mani
| tested a decided disposition to kick
When this was followed up with an
| increase Of 80 per cent. in the price oil
gas. there was general howl, and
many consumers felt that the limit had
been reached, at which ''forbearanee
ceased TO be virtue" However, the
city ordinance fixes the maximum price
at - cents per thousand feet, and that
| limit has been reached.
A number of plumbers were seen yes
terday and all agreed in saying that
there was general complaint among
their customers, about the size OF natur'
al gas bills, and that many were threat
ening to return to the use OF ceal, but
that few had yet done so.
Secretary Scott, of the Natural Gas
Company OF West Virginia, was also
seen. In the course OF a conversation
he admitted that there is a general
complaint, but said that it is largely
the fault OF the consumer If the gas bills
are larger now than before the meters
were put in. He alluded to the fact that
the supply is better. and more regular
now than ever before. Before meters
were placed in the houses much OF the
gas was wasted, and with proper
economy and the use OF saving ap-
pliances, the fuel will be as cheap or
cheaper than before. He cited as in
stances two families with five fires and
ten fires whose gas bills for December
were 81. 35 and S7.35 respectively. The
company secures the benefit during the
three winter months, but through the
balance of the year the advantage is de-
cidedly with the consumer.

For some time past man calling
himself Prof. Henry Glass has been
going about the beating restaurants and
saloons out of meals, to the great annoy
ance OF the proprietors. Yesterday
Glass went into Hunts restaurant, on
Market street, taking a friend with
him, and after the two had eaten a
meal, Glass attempted the old racket Of
no money. This did not work, and then
he said he had the money up street In
bank. and asked Hunt to go with him
to get it,. Mr. Hunt started off with the
fellow, who took him into saloon, or
dered drink, threw down nickle, and
then attempted to bluff the bar-keeper
into believing that it was 4 quarter.
The end OF it was that he was arrested
and taken before Justice Ankle, who
fined him five dollars and costs for
trespasS. Not having the money, Glass
attempted to work the bank story on
the Justice, but it didn't 60, and Glass
was committed to jail

En-Gnr. WiIsnn,s Picture.

Artist John w. Myles has finished a
very fine pastel portrait of Ex-Governor
l.. w. Wilson, To adorn the walls OF the
Executive Chamber in the Capitol at
Charleston. 1t Is u speaking likeness,
and when it is known that the picture
was drawn from photograph it will be
wondered how Mr.. MyleS improved on
the Photographic copy without in any
way flattering the original. 1t is, ia
truth, n very artistic piece Of work.
The pictures of the remainder OF the
ex-Governors have been done in crayon,
which of course, fail to give color Of
complexion, hair and eyes, and other
points Of features which can be brought
out by pastel work. When Ex-Governor
Wilson's picture is hung on the walls OF
the State House we venture the predic-
ton that tine remainder will be taken
down and ordered done in pastel. Mr..
Myles will ship the picture to-day or
tomorrow, and Governor Fleming, who
ordered it, will not only be pleased but
satisfied that he has put up the best and
most artistic likeness that has been
hung in his Office.

/ Not content with this superiority
however. Mr.. Parsons. always alert for
whatever is new and good in his bust
ness. has succeeded in SECURING the eX-
elusive control in Wheeling OF ihe ARR
typer process for finishing photographs,
something which has been experimental
upon for twenty years past, and has AT
last been brought TO perfection. This pro-
cess gives the photograph a finish very
similar to that upon porcelain, except
that il is upon paper, and so perfect Is
the surface resulting that not only Is the
nIcture more artistic in itself, and bet
ter adapted to bringing out the repro
duction OF the person or article photo-
grained. but the picture itself can be
Cleaned by damp cloth, il necessary.
and can thus be kept at its best at all
times. Absolute Permanency 81 pho

cess. for which extremely fancy prices
