GAS STOVES

Are invaluable and should be investigated
by careful housekeepers
About 1900 are in use In this city and
the number would be greatly increased II
their merits were fully understood.
AS Cookers" they are unrivalled and
are far superior to coal or wood stoves In
cooking meats or vegetables.
AS Water Heaters" and 'Ironers" they
are most useful, especially when the
weather Is too warm to use the ordinary
stove or range.
AS heating apparatus that can be moved
from room to 7 )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 fues they
have given much comfort.
AS intermittent heaters, where heat is
wanted only an hour or two at a time,
they are economical
For offices and stores, when the weather
Is rather warm for furnace fires, they may
prevent sickness.
For spring and autumn use, when mild
days make furnace fires oppressive, trou-
oiosoho ahu OK APohslNo, bhoy are cOmioiI-
able and economical.
AS fires that can be started In a minute
and extinguished in less time, they are
most satisfactory.
AS heaters that avoid ASHES, COAL

dent housekeepers.
Modern Gas Stoves are not only useful,
but are ornamental

VIRTUE AND OYSTERS.
An East Side sexton Finds His Huge Joke
an Eighth Ward Reality.

An East side sexton Finds His Huge Joke
an Eighth Ward Reality.
One Of the best April fool jokes Of the
year is told at the expense Of David
Virtue, the eighth ward politician,
and George W. Shewbrook, sexton Of
Epw,rth M, Z Church.
Yesterday Virtue and ConstRbles
Neutze aud Brown were taking walk
around town. During their pedestrian
tour the two constables, in a fit of ex-
travagance, bought Virtue a pint Of
prime oysters, with the understanding
that he WAS to take them home TO his
sister. The oysters we're placed In a box
which Virtue carried In his hand
The two constables had to 60 TO a
saloon ON East Fourth street to libel a
schooner. and they invited Virtue 10 go
along A heavy sea was running at the
time and Virtue was almost on his beam
ends.
Just before going into the saloon Vir.
tue became imbibed with the idea that II
be vent inside the saloon with the
oysters the two constables would eat
them. he saw George w Shewbrooks,
sexton OF Epworth M. e. Church, stand
ing on the pavement In front OF the
place. Approaching him, he SAID
George (hicD Hol zls bunnle till

"Why, certainly" said the Epworth
sexton, who was right up on all April fool
jokes.
Thanks. (Hic)r said Virtue, as he
stepped into the saloon.
Shewbrooks did MOI look into the box
Oh, no; he was too old bird to be
caught with sush chaff. In a minute OF
two he saw poor old negro coming
along. Here was chance to carry the
Joke into Africa.
"Uncle," said Shewbrooks, how wOull
you like to have a nice box Of oystersi"

negro.
"Well, here take these" said tn,
sexton, laughing In his sleeve.

When be got far enough away Shew

Just then Virtue and the constablel
came out Of the saloon after libeline
three schooners Virtue dropped anchor
in front OF Shewbrooks, and said:
"Give me my oysters. (hic)."
Shewbrooks laughed heartily.
"What the are you laughing at2'
