girls wear short stays, which. after s
years of age, should be replaced by stays,
of course without whalebones, so as to

Beyond 10 or 2 years it is much better
for little girls TO wear shoes made 70

HOME FOR VETERANS
Who Wore the Gray During the Late
Civil War.
A Meeting Held Last Night, at
Which 1.-THE Confederate Soldiers
Home Association" Was Organ
lied, 10 Cooperate With Similar
Organizations in the State.

The movement to establish through
private subscriptions and private effort
Home for the Confederate veterans,
took tangible shape last night at a
meeting which was held in the Reilly
building, and was well attended.
The meeting was called to order at
eight o'clock, and Col. Robert White
was elected chairman. Mr.. l. r. Noise
was elected secretary. In taking the
chair, Col. White thanked the gentle
men present, and briefly stated the OBJ
ject Of the meeting; to devise some
means of cooperating with the COnfed-
crate veterans throughout the State, in
their efforts TO establish Home for
aged and dependent soldiers who wore
the gray. He thought it was needless
to add that the Confederate veteran
draws no pension; their youth has de-
parted, and they are deserving; yet If
something is not done promptly, many
of them will be forced to go to the pocS
houses. He made an eloquent appeal
on behalf Of the aged and dependent
veterans throughout the State. He
stated that Hon. s. S. Green, of Charles
ten. is president Of the State organiza-
ton. which was formed at MOOreteld,
and vice president has been appoint
ed for every Senatorial district in the
State. The sum which has already
been collected for The purpose Of build
ing the Home amounts to between ST.
600 and $4,000.
Mr.. Noise suggested that Confeder-
ate Camp be organized in this city, and
Col White supplemented this with a
SUGGESTION that the women be asked to
Join the organization known as the
Daughters of the Confederacy. The
discussion Of the means TO raise funds
took q wide range, and was participated
i'm by most of the gentlemen present
Mr.. Martin Thornton favored big fair,
TO be given before the holidays. An en-
tertainment at the Opera House was also
suggested.
Mr. Frank L Hoge moved that an or
ganizatiCn be formed to be known as
"The Confederate Soldiers Home As
sociation." The motion after some dis
cussion. was carried unanimously. The
chairman was then instructed by mo-
ton to appoint a committee of three to
draft a constitution and bylaws. A
committee on invitation was also az
pointed. also a committee on ways and
means. consisting of Mesdames w. F..
Butler. James Adams and w. w. Arnett.
The meeting then adjourned to meet
again at the call of the chairman OF
the committee on invitation and or
ganization. A vote Of thanks for the
use OF the building was passed.

ference with US and see if we can't
make a new and amicable agreement.
Modern appliances are such that
private consumers can now get along
on four ounces of gas better than they
could under the old system with ten
ounces, for then they blew large pro-
portion of the gas up the chimney, and
it will be from the low pressure con-
sumers that we must get our profit in
the future. We are now putting down
several wells. miles away from our
present lines. but we don't know wheth-
err we Will get gas or not, or what we
viii do with il when we get it, or how
We will pay the expenses. This is a
simple business matter-we can't go
along any longer on 15c gas. We have
a million dollars of stock, and it is non
assessible and is fully paid up. The
stockholders will not put any more
money into the business. AS I said be-
fore, we have paid no dividends for six
teen months. and before that time We
only paid four per cent, while our debt
is now larger than it was sixteen
months ago. l have discussed this
matter. gentlemen, in the kindest man
ner. and without any feeling whatever
simply as a business proposition"
The paper was referred to Council
for action by that body. Before leav-
ing Captain Bachelor again addressed
the Committee, saying:
81 hope, gentlemen, there will be no
unnecessary delay As to the Crema-
tory-about which some one has spO-
ken-that will adjust itself in the course
of time. We want to do what we can
for you. but we can't do it without mon
ey, and we cant procure the money at
the present rates or under the present
conditions"
General Manager Heard made fur
Their explanation that the paper signed
by President Batcheler was sent to the
Health Committee because the speak
er's verbal proposition had been made
TO that committee originally. and ne
deemed it only courtesy to submit the
written communication to the same
body.
Before leaving the room Captain
Bachelor added:
"When the company came here l
promised the people Of Wheeling that
they should never pay more for gas
than was paid in Pittsburg. Wheeling
now has a 15c rate, while Pittsburg has
q CSC rate. with ten per cent. off. l pay
that myself.

BENEFITS TO TIE CITY.
An Interview with General Manager
BEARD, of the Gas Company. Last Night.

an Interview with General Manager
Heard. of the Gas Company. Last Night.
After the adjournment of the Commit
fee General Manager Heard was seen by
q rpDorter for the Register. and SAID
"Our Company is the only Company
which has ever paid the c-.y or Wheel
ing a. dollar, and it has paid the city an
average of S25. eco a year, while other
Comp2uies receiving franchises from
the city have not paid that many cents,
while in the eases Of some of Them they
are virtually being paid a bonus, aside
from being given franchises, in the
shape of exemption from taxation. This
Company has given to the city Of Wheel
ing i'm free gas what would have
amounted to $3.50, 900 and more, yet a
few years ago, when the Company
found 1t could not do business any
longer and carry that burden, it came
to the city Of Wheeling and asked 10
be relieved in part. The claim then, as
now. was that there was no truth in the
story. and that the Company was max
ing money and was seeking to get more.
An expert selected by the City Council,
and the City Council itself was con-
y.nced of The truth CT the Companys
claim, after a thorough investigation,
and the lapse Of time has further shown
that the claim of the Company was true,
because the Company is again seeking
further relief, after having passed its
dividends for nearly TWO years, and in
curing debt OF $4,000.
Another feature of the matter is,
that while the Company has received
something over 100000 in the way of
profits from gas, If you deduct its in
debtedness to-day you only have actual
profits of $4,000 from gas to show for
nine years of business upon a capital
OF $1,000, GOO. Its other profits of about
S25O,000 have come from sales Of oil
ana oil lands.
Now, the Gas Company does not
come and ask to have the privilege, such
as other Companies have, Of charging
what it pleases, but simply asks to be
allowed to charge practically what is
charged in adjoining cities. that it may
obtain revenue sufficient for it to live,
and after having, as | stated before,
given TO the city Of Wheeling a sum
equal to more than S150,O00 in free fuel.
But TO show that we never did ask
something for nothing, in consideration
of the advance in price, we now offer to
give up our exclusive franchise, which
] consider q matter of great Importance
10 the city of Wheeling, inasmuch as
there is one Company already in the city
of Wheeling that can sell gas to private
consumers. and with likelihood, in tho
course Of the next few months, that gas
may be obtained within few miles Of
the city. which VIII enable others to
embark in the same line of business,
if they desire so to do, and which gas
will be procured from territory not
reached by our lines
The whole matter VIII come up in
Council for discussion this evening,
when the communication from Presi-
dent Batcheler will be sent in from the
Health Committee.

The Council Committee on Health
met last evening, with Health Officer
Jepson and City Solicitor Boyce. to lis
ten to the reading Of the sealed docu-
ment left with the clerk of the commit
tee about two weeks ago by the officials
of the Natural Gas Company OF West

General Manager George Heard and
Secretary Hare.
The committee being in order the gas
matter was brought up first by direc-
ZION OF the Chair, and the communion
tion Of the company was read, as fol-
lows:

position is respectfully requested.

by Chas. w. Bachelor, President. "
The paper having been read, the
Chair called for remarks, IN response
to which invitation Captain Batcheler
said he would like to say few words,
with the permission OF the Chair This
being accorded, the president OF the
Company said:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentemen[Of
our condition at present, / would like TO
say q few words. ! ann sure, sirs, that
YOU see nothing new and startling IN
that paper. Ii is only confirming what
our general manager. Mr.. Heard, said
10 YOU q few weeks ago. This IS case
of real necessity with us. MrHeard
has reported to our Board of Directors
that our supply of gas is very short.
To procure more gas will require more
money. and the company is not in shape
10 spend any more money at TINS time,
The company has not paid dividends
for sixteen months, and before that
time fl only paid four per cent per an
mum. and we are increasing our DEBT
right along. and hence we come to you
and ask your consent TO have the rate
changed so we can get more money
with which to get more gas. II you 40
not grant MS this relief. the thing VIII
gradually play itself out. l hope you
will take this matter up at once, ana
not allow it to drag along through the
fam and winter. We will have TO hunt
for gas. if the supply is to be increased
9nd that will take money, and we have
no money at present. If we put down
new wells we are just as apt to get OIL
as gas. and it would be God-send IL
we would strike Oil. for we Will never
oct our money back out OF gas. we

clared in an interview last night that
he was heartily ashamed while making

great nation they were, and the tremen-

Nicaragua canal. yet they had neither
built IL nor allowed any one else to do
so. In the meantime. Germany saying
nothing had plodded along. and when
the canal was ready il was opened and
the world invited to view IL.

MORALITY or THE SCHOOLS.
The Statement About BOSTON Made In
MnnitObn Unfounded.

NnnitOnm NmlOunueu.
Boston. Mass, June PA charge OF all
legged immortality In the Boston schools Is
being used in Manitoba as an argument
against the public school system. Mr..
Martin, a member Of the French. Canadian
party in the province. who are carrying
on the agitation for separate schools.
has charged the public schools In tha
United States, and particularly those OF
Boston. with being fountain heads OF
immortality.
The most mysterious feature about the
whole thing Is the identity OF the re
ports" which Mr.. Martin read No re-
port has ever been made on such a SUBJ
1ect as tho state or morality in the
schools, either by the city of Boston or
the state. So far as is known, no inves-
legations on the subject have been made
elsewhere. Where Mr.. Martin got the
report and who made the investiga-
tions, which are claimed to be authorita-
tive, is a matter which the school COM
mlttee and officers OF instruction know
nothing.
Mr.. Pettigrove, president OF the Boston
school committee, declared to-day that
the story was absurd. There is no docu-
ment on earth. said he, making such
statement about the Boston schools al
that mentioned In the dispatch and. so
far as l know, there is no document Of
such a nature relating to the public
schools of any other city. In Massachu-
settts, there Is no report or public docu-
ment published which bears upon the
subject mentioned. The Manitoba legis-
lator who made the statement about the
Boston schools had no report whatever
from which he could quote.
