Chandler and Free Passes.

Webb of the Boston Sournal says: SEN
ator Chandler seems to have carried his
first point before the Interstate Com
merce Commission in his controversy
with the Boston & Maine Road relative
to certain kinds of passes. 1t is intimat-
ed that it is possible that the Boston &
Maine Road may deny the jurisdiction of
the commission and plead the order is not
the order of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. This objection can be
based on the ground that the opinion has
been rendered by less than majority of
the court. 1t is maintained that the
number of Commissioners who are un-
derstood to have agreed to that report
does not constitute legal quorum of the
commission. 1t is evident that the
whole subject must be gone over when
the commission is full.

now after 20 years. labor among them
she could draw bright picture of happy
homes and uplifted lives.

The City Settles a Case.

One of the cases which was to have
come up at the term of court in Saco this
week was the case of Haines VS.. Port
land, wherein Mrs. Haines sued for in
juries received by defect in the street
at Congress Place. This case will not
come to trial, the city having settled it
by paying the woman 800. The city's
defense was perfect though technical, no
city official having been notified of the
defect in the street But to make this
defense City Solicitor Larrabee would
have been forced to carry out to Saco
large number of city officials, whose
transportation and board would have
cost more than the amount paid the WON
an. Therefore, Mayor True thought it
better to give the woman the benefit of it.

The Future of Natural Gas.

AS to the actual amount of gas pro-
duced it is difficult to obtain exact
figures; too many people are inter
ested in concealing or misstating the
facts. But one tendency cannot be
overlooked, the gradual withdrawal
of gas for other uses than domes'
tic heating and cooking. The de-
mand from this source alone is al
ready equal to the supply, especially
if conservative notions prevail in re.
gard to it permanence. Such use
permits of better prices than to main
tain factories, built to sell town lots,
and that those who have monopolized
the visible sources of supply should
seek to restrict its uses to the more
profitable channels is not to be Won
dered at. Nor is it strange If, in
order to get the business into their

need be no fears that coal mining will

natural gas has come to stay. just

the future. 1t brings to us fuel in the

1t is still the age of steam and coal,

and there are indications too plain to
be disregarded that the coal fire is to
remain under special conditions only,
just as the windmill and the water
wheel retain place in the worlds
economy. Who, then, can say that
the age of gas is not yet to come?
When we consider that of all the
products of the mine, coal has been
reckoned the most important; when
we remember that the Lehigh and
Lackawanna coal fields alone have
created fortunes more vast than the
gold mines of California; when we
realize that it has revolutionized the
