is the cause of the sad affair, was

that his right name is Robert Askins

Although a great many railway

GAS STOVES

Are invaluable aud should be investigated
by careful housekeepers.
About 1 200 are in use In this city and
the number would be greatly increased II
their merits were fully understood.
AS Cookers" they are unrlvalled and
are far superior to c)al or wood stoves In
cooking meats OF vegetables
As Water Heaters" and lroners' they
are most useful, especially when the
weather Is 700 warm 70 use the ordinary
s'ove or range.
AS heating apparatus that can be moved
from room to 'om in few minutes by the
housekeeper they are most convenient.
As assistant heaters In rooms where
furnace or steam heat will not ascend on
the windward side they have given great
satisfaction.
As permanent heaters in rooms that
cannot be reached by heating huss they
have given ID UGH comfort.
AS Intermittent heaters, where heat Il
wanted only an hour or two at a time
they are economical.
For Offices aud stores, when the weathe
Is rather warm for furnace fires, they MAJ
prevent sickness.
For spring aud autumn use when mile
days make furnace fires oppressive trou
blesome and ex pensive, they are comfort
able and economical.
AS fires that can be started in a minut
and extinguished in less time, they ar
most satisfactory.
As heaters that avoid ASHES. COAL
