RedeeminE Ga. Wells.

ANDERSON Ind, March 9.-Anderson gas
companies and in fact all gas-wen people
are at present intensely Interested in the re
suit of the restoration of drowned gas
well in this city yesterday by the appliance
of a devise which William Decker and sons,
the veteran gas-well drillers of the State.
have recently invented. Well No. ). of the
Citizens Gas Company. was sold more than
a year ago to the Anderson foundry and
machine works. It's pressure gradually
weakened by the influx of salt water till
the gauge registered but little above 100
pounds. Last week the pressure dropped
rapidly and on Monday morning the we'll
was not showing an ounce OF gas. The
Deckers inserted q three-quarter inch pipe
to which was attached an automatic valve
with a section of perforated pipe and forced
gas IN. the. well, piped from an adjoining
line. In few minutes the water was blown
out and the gauge at the separator rose
till it was almost at the 200 notch. The APP
paratus works like a syphon, and as rapidly
as the water comes in it is carried out. The
factory, which had been forced to burn coal
for. three days is now using gas from the
Well and its rock pressure is greater than 1t
was two years ago. Hundreds of citizens
and gas experts from surrounding towns
are fiocking here TO see the reclaimed well
MIR. Decker told the journal correspondent
that he was confident he could redeem fully
half of the abandoned wells.

Open proof of widespread decentralization
In eastern and southern rates was obtained
proof that the NickeI-plate and Pennsyl

Miners Are dnbiIant.

PITTSBURG, March 9.--,rhe miners of
the Pittsburg district are jubilant over the
bright prospects which confront them, and
predict their victory7in the strike for high
err wages. This morning W. p. Rend, the
Chicago operator, at whose mines on the
Panhandle railroad there are over seven
hundred men employed, granted the de-
rnands of his men for SO cents per ton and
they have returned to work. AS all coal
mined at these mines is shipped and none
goes to the local market the miners feel
they have gained a point. J. M: Risner who
employs two hundred men at his mines on
the Monongahela river, also granted the
increase this morning and work at the
mines was resiineds sFhree more Panhandle
operators have announced that on Monday
their men will be granted the sixty mine
cent rate work to begin at once. The firms
are Jesse San1for,fi Morris aIccue and the
Niller's Run G,eap Company. Secretary
Warner, of the Miners Union, tonight pre-
diets that on Monday there will be at least
five thousand men at work at the advance.

committee investigating the Taylor detail
cation made its report just before adjourn

WHAT TO GIVE AT CHRISTMAS

The true value of gift Is the thought
that Is put into IL. The tendency with
many people Is 10 give what will make
the most show for the money, and good
sense and sound Judgment have little to
do with the selection.
With due allowance for individual
preferences, the generality Of people are
better pleased with something that sup
plies real need than with costly gilt
that Il not useful. Don't be afraid Of
being too practical at Christmas. and
don't feel that you must buy expensive
presents To have them appreciated.
IL Is possible To put great deal OF
lore and sympathy into an article that
costs less than dollar, and Ii IL better
to make two hearts glad In this way,
than spend the two dollars In one gift.
There are two things that We want TO
keep well in mind at this Christmas sea-
son. One is not TO spend so much money
that we cannot promptly meet our bills,
and the other Is, TO hunt up and remem-

WINDOWS AND COY CORNERS.
A decorated window adds greatly to
the beauty OF an apartment, and what
to do with the unsightly inside shutter
Is vexcd question. When folded back
In the daytime, It's ugliness Il IN abey-
ance, but when closed It Is far from dec
orative.
A method Of divesting the shutter Of
It's homeliness, is to get the japanese
bolting-clOt panels Of suitable size, and
tack them on the divisions of the shut
tiers, or the amateur artist might paint
q struggling pattern Of vines or flowers
across It's expanse. India silk may be
gathered across It, or small mirrors may
be inserted In each panel, painted with
flowers or landscape, framed In gilt
mouldings.
Windows may be effectively curtained
with draperies Of Swiss, esprit net, or
lace; these may be left hanging or loop
ed hack; one curtain hanging and one
draped, looks well; an upholstered win
dow-sest with pile OF cushions Is
always cory and comfortable. How
ever, where there are several windows,
variety is preferable, and table with
jardiniere or lamp with fancy shade Is
appropriately set In the embrasure.
When richness is demanded, the thin
curtains may be replaced or supplement-
ed by lambrequins Of stamped Spanish
leather, plush, or old brocade.
In windows, where II is desirable to
cut of an unsightly view, colored glass
may be used, the colors harmonizing
with the furnishings; the thick, disk
like kuobs Of green and pink glass make
a soft and becoming light, used in this
manner.
Doorways may be eff ctively dap d
with portieres OF plush, brocade, or
denim; single curtain caught high,
with throw of silk across the pole and
fastened to the upper part Of the por-
there, Is artistic; q valance drapery tied
iu twisted knot at intervals, and irreg-
ularly drsped, Is quantity pretty. Thick
and thin materials may be used to ad-
vantage.
Cozey corners can be arranged In q
variety Of ways; long curtain-pole or
several feet OF japanese fret-work may
be used, the curtains being hung be-
loW auu Htiu WIN ioBts
or strings Of big glass beads. An
other idea Is, 10 secure big brass ring
to the ceiling with length OF drapery
passed through Ii, giving the effect Of
tent. Again, these lengths may be
drawn together to resemble a canopy,
and caught with huge roseite. Some
times two breadths of Persian silk are
left hanging straight on each side, a
valance being draped across the pole in
negligent, unstudied festoons. Lsmbro-
quins, consisting of long knotted silken
cords finished with tassels, look pictur-
esque over curtains OF damask or silk.
The lowered English crctonncs, Lib
erty silks, aud velvcts, may be substi-
tuted for the more costly materials. IL
IL Is not desirable 10 arrange corner,
canopy may be substituted, on one
side OF large room. When the apart
ment Ia decorated In rich, dark colors,
Algerian or Turkish draperies are the
thing; these may be supported with old
iron spears; poles Of gilded wood may
be- substituted. The small inches at the
corners OF fire-places may be made avail

man, with festoons Of drapery looped
