The multiplicity and excellence OF
other magazines, far from lessening the
usefulness OF the Review of Revie,CS,
makes this unique periodical more and
more necessity. Its indexes, condensa-
tions II ltading articles, classified LIFTS
OF new books, and general survey Of
things written, things said, and things
done during the month preceding, its is
sue, would suffice to keep the busy reader
in touch with the current of life and
thought, even II he were able to read
nothing else. The December number is
as full Of variety and freshness as its pre-
decessors have regularly been and TO
those who know the Review of Reviews

last. and The gamblers, book makers, 6c.,

The firm attitude OF the Sheriff Of Cam

doubtless had much TO do with closing

The Phild. Ledger, in its criticism Of
the Presidents remarks en- the tariff,
says:
s'We do not think that the majority of
President Cleveland's countrymen will
agree with him that 'only the necessity
of revenue justifies the imposition OF tar
if duties; they have lived under the
operations of different principle, the re-
suits of which have been satisfactory to
them"

PUT HIS FATHER TO SLEEP.
Gus M0nros's Tale TO the Police in Explana.
tion of q Lively Domestic Fight

Gus Monroe. q colored youth. stands be-
fore the world as q protector Of the sacred
precincts Of home and family. Gus is
young and lives with his parents at No. 200
Alvord street. where. according to bis story.
life is not a bed of roses, but the reverse,
His father is given TOT strong drink and SO
completely has the demon taken possession
of the old man that Gus has found &c
necessary In the past seven years TO sup
port his mother and sisters and protect
them from the abuses OF his parent.
Last night the elder Monroe came home
feeling mighty lively. and during the
course OF the evening the exuherance of
his spirits found vent in q series of perse-
buttons inflicted on his family. Gus says
says his mother was Ill and confined 20 the
bed. and when his father became too
boisterous he iDterposed an objection.
Reared under q hot Southern sun as he
was. the old gentleman's fiery spirit re-
belled at the advice administered b his
STRIPPING son, and he laid the latter out
with u bed slat. He was preparing to
strike the youth again, but was put to
sleep by the young man, and peace reigned
in the Monroe family until officers Kelly
and King came in later and arrested Gus
for assault and battery. At the station
house che prisoner was recognized as the
man arrested recently on suspicion of be.
ing a pal of McAfee. who was before the
court for shooting q College-avenue bar
tender.

John Mueller, alias f.. A. Cook. and s.
Stutz. q cigar maker. The room was one
rented by the two suspects. who were last

BY THREATS OF A BOYCOTT
Retail Grocers Fighting to Bring Com
mission Merchants to Terms.
Adams Again with Them and Hitz Is Claimed
Won't Buy of Those Who Sell Di-
rect to Consumers.

The meeting of the Retail Merchants
Commercial Association in the Board of
Trade building last night was the largest
ever known in the history of the organiza-
ton. The unusually large attendance was
caused by the announcement that at last
nights meeting would be read a letter
from L. +. Adams, the South Delaware
street commission merchant, In which
he would %repudiate his reputation of his
signature to the agreement presented by
the association. The letter was forth
coming when tho meeting was called
to order. Mr.. Adams very plainly stated
that while the agreement had been signed
by his son that he proposed to stand by it,
and would not sell goods at retail within
the time named in the agreement. George
Hitz. it is claimed, has also agreed verbally
not to sell at retail in accordance with the
request of the association. He has not. and
probably will not, sign the agreement. but
has assured the association that he will
comply with its terms. The reason given
by him for not signing the agreement is
ing held by the commission men to
discuss the question when it was first
preached. at which meeting they decided
that they would not Obligate themselves

ton to modify the agreement slightly and

a. the meeting last night q resolution
was adopted declaring it the sense of the
association that the retail grooers of the
city who are members of the association
shall deal only with Adams OF Hitz. and
unless the other commission merchants
come to the terms of the association and
sign the agreement they will not have the
trade of the retail grocers.

GAS MAGNATES In SESSION
Territory in the "Belt" to Be Parceled
Out on a Basis of Harmony.
Clearing House for Leases and Agreement
Against Encroachment-Gas for
Low. Pressure Lines.

Big gas magnates began gathering In the
city yesterday morning at such a lively
rate that it looked as though there was GO
ing to be q reunion of the celebrated gas
lobby that did not get its bill through the
Legislature last winter. 1t was not just q
friendly reunion. however. but q meeting
for business.
The gas people, Notwithstanding their
failure to get the Legislation they wanted
last winter, have not gone to pieces. Their
combination still holds together TO such an
extent as to economic expense and work
In harmony in various directions.
A meeting was held during the
afternoon attended by Messrs. Lilly.
Frenzel and Lyman. of the ConsumcFs'
Trust; Pearson. of the Indianapolis com.
pany: Sneerin. of the LoRansport company;
Brownell. of the Peru company; Johnson,
of the Chicago syndicate; Murdoch. of the
Lafayette company; George, of Kokomo;
Rose. of MuncIe. and others.
While much was talked over. the princi-
pal point determined upon was an agree
mont to parcel out the territory Ia the gas
belt among the companies interested. no
one company to eDcroach within less than
half q mile of another's field. In order to
save individual surveys q general survey
Will be made, and q map prepared
showing the territory now held by
each company. This map Will be
placed in the hands of q committee which
will parcel it out. and definitely mark off
the territory within which each company
will be bound by the agreement to cOnfine
itself. Then If, say. the Kokomo company
has leases within the territory of the Lo-
gansport and vice versa they will exchange
leases and the difference will be paid. That
is, the association will act as a sort of
clearing house of leases. This Is. of course.
q big task, and may not be completed for q
year. The association will also ~eRulate
the price to be paid for new leases. and
there will be no fancy prices for che farm
ers. They oAn take whatt the pool offers or
nothing.
"You may depend upon it." said ono of
the mon in attendance at the meeting yester-
day, that there will be no more parallel
ing of lines or expensive fights over
territory in the future. An immense
| amount of money has been wasted by the
gas companies in that sort of thing. Then
the association will save it's members much
expense in the matter of surveys and vari-
Gus other details of field work"
