The Meter Problem.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
am glad that THE STAR is now admitting to
It's columns complaints Of the gas for which the
people of Washington are so heavily taxed. Ny
own experience is like that of Junus, when he saws
that when the price Of gas was lower there was no
lowering in the gas bills Why that should be
so is one Of the things that, as Dundreary says,
mo fellow can find out" One thing, however,
the experience OF more than twenty years has
enabled me to find out and that is that new gas
meters register more than old ones and that it
register too much to expect to fare better by
changing the meter. An old meter is a thing to
rejoice in. have had mine changed several
times and each time Ihave found my bills in
creased. My present meter registers 100 feet
for every &c feet of gas used, provided the gas
tips tell true story; and that new meters
register more than old ones l have the auI
thorlty OF man well experienced in all gas
matters. am not seeking now to change the
meter that registers 100 feet when it should
register 66! Every one has noticed, suppose,
that some houses where much gas is used have
smaller bills than other houses of same size
where but little is used. Let those who have
small bills thank their old meters for their good
luck. For more than twenty years my gas bills
have beer about twice as large as they should
be-sometimes more than my bills for fuel
and yet the good and faithful student lamp has
been my chief reliance for good light. If there
is to be reform in Washington gas light many
will welcome it. Some cities have supplied gas
to citizens Perhaps our help will come in that
way. II. c. I.

1t is Said That the Pennsylvania Will Soon
Begin the Struggle.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
openly declared war on ell organized labor. saws
a Cincinnati dispatch. No longer is there doubt
OF the roads hostility to the different brother
hoods TO which the employees in different de-
partments have attached themselves. Openly
the order goes out that the men must sever all
connection with organized labor bodies or their
names will be erased from the pay rolls of the
company. For months the officials have been
at work. using persuasive means to diminish
the membership of brotherhoods among the
force of men in their employ. Lukewarm
members renowned their orders.
Saturday the crisis was reached and as the
news OF the company action has reached every
point on the line there is intense agitation all
along II. At Indianapolis Oran Perry, city
freight agent. summoned the freight handlers
before him. saluting them with the remark:
''Al of you who desire to remain with the

CHESTERTOWN's MURDERERs.
Gov. Brown is Much Disturbed Over Hi.
Responsibility.

Responsibility.
Unless Gov. Brown interposes the eight men
and boys convicted of the murder of DR.. J. II.
Hill will be hanged Mt Chestertown, Nd. next
Friday afternoon. The work of constructing
the gallowS began on Friday. 1t will be twenty
feet long and eight feet wide. There will be
four traps, on each of which will stand two
persons. These traps will be operated by
lever and the drop will be simultaneous
Gov. Brown seems to be considerably dis
turbed over the responsibility resting on him
He has received a great many petitions for and
against executive clemency in four of the eight
cases. 1t has been represented in many Of these
appeals for pardon that five of the convicted
persons are meie boys under fifteen years of
age and that they were unwillingly present
when the crime was committed.
The governor has been asked to at least sus-
pend the execution of the BOYS for reasonable
time after the hanging of the men. in order
that. II possible, some confession may be Sc
cured ct the last moment relieving the BOYS of
the terrible implication Of guilt which now rests
upon them.
On the other side the claim Of extreme youth
is denied. Some of the mos. prominent people
Of Chestertown and Kent county are stub
bornly opposed to any interference in the laws
penalty.
The petitions presented to Gov Brown have
been 30 contradictory that he concluded to
make personal examination into the circum-
stances by visiting the condemned men. Sat-
urday he went to Chestertown for the purpose
OF obtaining all the information possible bear
ing upon the case. The prisoners were taken
before the governor one at time.
They all expressed willingness to tell what
they knew, bnt nearly all OF them denied auy
knowledge Of the crime.
After the examination Gov. Brown said this
case was giving him more concern than any
subject he had been called upon to consider
during his term; that he fully recognized the
horrors Of the cold-blooded murder OF Dr. Hill
and how unfortunate it is for the state of Mary
land and Kent county that there are SO many
prisoners whose execution is set to occur on one
day. He could notrecall that so many persons
were executed in one day by q Judicial sentence
He added that he believed that, in the event of
the entire number being executed next Friday,
the people Of the county would not in any way
interfere with the execution of the laws Of the
state.
There seems to be q growing impression,
however. that should executive cIemency be ex-
tended in any Of the cases trouble may be
looked for.

A UNIQUE ATTRACTION.
An Opera to Be Sung Of the Worlds Fair
by Coiored People.

An Opera TO Be Sung at the Worlds Fair
by Coiored People.
An opera, the music composed and written
by a colored man. and the cast to include only
colored people, will be one of the original and
unique attractions at the worlds fair at Chi
cago.
The opera will be new version OF "Uncle
Toms Cabin" Its composer is Will N. Cook,
who has made the most Of advantageous
studies in Berlin and has won high honors
there for remarkable exhibitions of musical
talent.
The veteran Frederick Douglass presented
Mr.. Cook to President Harrison. and told him
that he wished to have represented at the fair
some exhibition OF the progress made by his
race in music. President Harrison wrote to
the directors of the world fair, who at once
gave permission TO Mr.. Cook to present his
opera within the grounds of the fair. Mr.. Cook
has secured great ceal OF talent to
help him in his enterprise. The tenor
servatory. and the soprano. Miss Sisieretta
Jones, who has proved a drawing room sttrac-
ton this winter at various musicalcs. She sang
at Mrs Whitney's last week, and will sing for
Mrs. Cleveland shortly.
Mime. Warning, beautiful octoroon, who is at
present singing at La Scala, Milan, will be the
contralto. The Fisk jubilee singers. Miss Jen-
ME jackson, Miss Leila Hamaro Of Washing
ton and Mr.. Harry Burleigh OF the National
Conservatory of Music, who has a splendid
baritone voice, will also assist. Allare colored,
and it is said BY Mr.. Cook that there is much
talent in his race represented abroad in the
various Conservatives. A concert will be given
February -, under the patronage of many So
ciety women in New York, to enable Mr. Cook to
raise fund sufficient to secure large chorus.
Mime. Jones will sing at this concert, and
great interest is being manifested by the col
ored churches in that city in the enterprise.

The Sweepers Not Powerful Enough,

To TIE Editor Of The Evening Star:
The question Of the filthy condition Of the
streets of this city can be settled just as soon
as the Commissioners accept the facts con-
nected Herewith. In the first place make
the broad assertion that no two horses that
ever stood on shoes can draw street sweeper,
and all the experience of this city mas been to
prove this assertion. The Gleason machines
the Anderson, the Smith and the present Chi
cago are all miserable failure. The proper
name for them is smearing machines Watch
one OF them for square. they merely plaster
the filth onto the pavement. l saw one on II
street few days ago. The street was wet and
covered with black, slippery mud and the ma
chimes merely smoothed it out. After they had
gone over the whole square they did not collect
bucketful where they should have gotten half
cart load. The remedy: Make the contrac tors
put on four-horse sweepers. EDO.
