A Statement From President Daveis.

To the Editor of the Press:
In your paper of yesterday the Gas
Company were blamed for not making
an extra dividend as requested by the
city. In today's paper they are critized
for having made such dividends in
former years, each of which was made
on like urgent request by the city.
Now that the directors have reduced
the price of gas so that the profits will
not pay the ordinary dividends, relying
upon the income from their insurance
fund and from whatever balance may
remain of their renewal fund to make
up the deficiency, itwould seem fair that
their course should have the approval of
consumers of gas. And if the other
stockholders are willing to have that in
come so applied instead of to extra divi-
dends, the city ought to be willing also,
especially as their object in taking the
stock was not for large profits but to
secure fair prices.
AS to the charge of reticence, implying
concealment, no stakeholder has ever
been refused information as to the affairs
of the company to my knowledge, and
when requested by the city every facility
has been given for full examinations.
The reports of previous committees will
confirm this statement, and I appeal to
the committee who have recently ex-
amined our books and property also in
confirmation. e. Ell. DAWES.

The Gas Company's Earnings.
10 the Editor of the Press:

The total amount received by the Port
land Gas Co. for the sale of its product

leaving profit on its business OF Sal 900.
give these figures merely to show that
on small business of a little more than
S1O0,U00 it has made a net profit of over
$4,000. How do these figures strike the
business men of Portland? Doesn't the
profit seem rather large for the amount
OF business done? Are there any of our
large business houses doing a, business of
even $500, 600 that can match it? But
this is not all. They have received as
interest from temporary loans $4,000.
They have received as dividends from
their Investments stock. bonds, ETC., sum
which estimate at $4,000. The treas
urer knows the exact amount, no one
else does. So that they have received
the past year in funds available for dis
tribution among their stockholders SOD
GOO. OF this amount they will have dis
tributed in dividends only $34, 900 leaving
a balance of $4,000 to go to that al
ready too congested renewal and insu-
rance fund.
/ do not agree with the report oflthe di-
rectors Whenthey say that these excessive
earnings and this argelaceumulation of
funds belong to the stockholders and is
to be held and manipulated and finally
distributed for their benefit. | rather
agree with the expression of an individu-
al director, who says that if the surplus
is to be divided it should go to the pa
irons of the company rather than the
stockholders. This certainly would be
more in accordance with Christian ethics
than what is commonly recorded as sound
financial policy.
1t would be a restitution of ill-gotten
gains to the pockets of those from whom
it was unjustly taken. This purpose can
be easily accomplished by still further
reducing the price of gas until a large
part OF the enormous bulk of the surplus
fund has disappeared, S.

a PLEASING CHANGE.
How the Portland's Struck Worlds Fair
Gait Yesterday.

If the Portlands can keep up the pace
they struck yesterday they can go to the
Worlds Fair in the fall.
There were about 500 people present
when the bell rang. The Portlands
were the first up and Deadly faced Potter
and his name was clay. Though Smith
got hit nothing resulted. Then the
Brocktons faced Parrott and it became
evident at the start that they would
pluck his feathers. 1t took Doe about
two minutes to line out a single and
steal second Clarke hit for two bases
and Doe scored A wild pitch sent
Clark up to third and he scored on a
sacrifice. Had Deadly run hard Doe
would have been out.
Brocktons, q; Portlands, O.
In the second after Burns had been
put out the Browns took heart and came
back from dreamland. Clymer raped
out single and went into second on his
liver pad. Platt hit out for single but
Clymer was held at third. Then ensued
a pretty play. Plat ran half way to sec
ond, drew throw from 1.-THE catcher and
and while he lodged back and forth
Clymer started for the plate. Long
tried to nail him and everybody was safe.
PARROT had two strikes. He struck at
the third and it hit him in the shoulder.
He was declared out The audience
yelled and re-infated their lungs as big
Deadly lifted the ball high and dry over
the left dead line. Three runs.
The Brocktons were not to be so easily
crushed. In their half Doe got on the
lines and he made his men hustle. Kir-
mes was applauded and responded with a
single to left. Deadly made poor throw
and the batter went to second. O'Brien
didn't get 'sleedle'' bit of hit but got
tip pass to first. Kirmes scossd on an
error and the score was tied.
The third settled Mr.. PARROTS fate.
Clarke and Fitz hit him for singles and
they scored up peg on Longs sacrifice.
Big Tom Cotton hit for two bases and
Klobedanz was told to get off the bench
and warm. The inning finished with
Brockton two to the good.
Klobedanz went into the box and
pitched great game, neither side scor-
| ing until the fifth. Then the Portlands
tooka brace and the fun began. Deadly
led off and was hit in the shoulder.
Burke laced out single and Rogers
brought them across the plate with a
two Dagger. Rogers has contracted that
habit lately. Smith was out at first sac
rifcing himself to put Rogers on third.
Mains hit to deep centre but Clarke
| muffed and Mains Hoped to second, Rog-
ers scoring. Burns got single hit but
| it availed nothing.
The Brocktons went their rivals one
better in this inning. They ran up the
| tally two runs on singles by Clarke and
Cotter, bad throw by Smith and slow
fielding. That finished their run getting
and the Portlands clinched the game in
| the eighth. Burns, Klobedanz, Deadly

DIR. SARAH q. JONES.

Virginia has hitherto depended for her
medical attendance upon the services Of
male physicians, but at last there is
female doctor in the Old Dominion State,
and, mirabile dictu, she is not white
woman, but q bright mulatto, Mrs. Sarah
G. Jones.
Mrs. Jones is the daughter Of George
w. Boyd, well known contractor Of
Richmond. DR.. Jones was born in Al
bemarle county, Va, and was educated
in the public schools of Richmond.
Graduating in 1888, she devoted the next
five years of her life to teaching. At the
end Of that time Miss Sarah Boyd, as
she was then, was married to M. B.
Jones, a colored teacher and man of a
great deal Of intelligence, who is now
grand secretary of the Order of True
Reformers.
Two years after her marriage Mrs.
Jones entered the Howard Medical col
lege, Washington, from which institu-
ton she graduated recently with the de-
gree Of M. D. and a percentage of more
than 80 in the final examination in sur
gerry. There were S. in the class. Twenty
one Of them were "plucked. Mrs. Jones
was the only colored student. She and
her husband are representatives Of the
most exclusive colored social circles of
Richmond. She will practice among her
own people.

FRANK ID. JONES. MI. JOu0S DIV
tracted national attention by his speech
at Springfield nominating John M.
Palmer for the United States senate. He
was one of the 101 who stuck to Palmer,
until the victory had been won. From
purely nonpartisan standpoint the
speech was remarkably able one. Itwas
eloquently and impressively delivered,
and the young orator at its close was
warmly congratulated by members Of
the three parties in the Illinois legis-
lature.
Frank Fl. Jones' career has been one
regular logical series of rises. There
have been no high jumps and backward
slippings. All that he has accomplished
has been the result of conscientious effort
allied to great natural ability. Little
If indeed any of his success has been due
to accident. Mr.. Jones was born in
Springfield, Ills, in 1854 That city has
always been his home. He was gradu-
ated from Yalein 1875. He Immediately
began the study of law and since his
admission to the bar has uninterruptedly
practiced his profession with signal sue
cess. Besides having served in the Hi
nois legislature, Mr.. Jones is president
of the State League of Democratic Clubs
and was also member of the third con-
vention which nominated Mr.. Cleveland
for the presidency. He delivered an ex-
cellent address recently at the dedication
Of the Illinois state building at the

are beautiful mosaics Of mahogany, wal

the edges are delicately wrought mosa-

for the legs, are inlaid with woods col

bears the legend, Chicago, 1893"
