such it shall be declared on Tuesday, was
repeated. Superintendent Byrnes said i'm
the afternoon that he had sent word to
Mr.. Aronson that If the moman model
posed again without more drapery he
would order the arrest of her and of every
one connected with the exhibition. He
said that the manager agreed that more
drapery should be used. The additional
drapery used at the matinee was hung
carefully over the models left breast in
such a way that its principal effect was
to emphasize the absence of covering from
the right hand side.
Yesterdays matinee was advertised as
little folks matinee" but the great
majority of the audience, which got larger
as the time for the bronzes approached,
wrer men. The orchestra floor, which at
matinee is usually preempted by the
women, was two-thirds full Of men. The
"baldhead rows''were the front half CT the
house. Whole tiers of seats there held
men from aisle to aisle, excepting an oc-
casional woman. In the centre Of the
house fifty bald pates and one skull cap
were counted. some Of the old men
brought flourishing young women.
They were waiting for the public exhibi-

The same woman appeared in other

The advertiser of leading New York
dry goods house told a reporter of The
Recorder, Of that city:
We have got a winning combination
the goods, the prices, the publicity. The
public follows them as naturally and in
evitably as his satellites the sun.
This packs into three-leafed clover S
space the whole scheme of successful
merchandising. The merchant who
makes sure of these three leaves needn't
hunt farther for the four-leaf variety.
He is as deep in clover as any reasona-
ble mortal could wish to be, and prac-
tically boundless are his possibilities of
herbage.

Gladstone as Premier Again.

The feeling is in London that Glad
stone is to be called again as the leader
of the liberal party, which sadly needs a
Moses just now. Matters have reached
such crisis that public opinion even
gives partial credence to the rumor that
the prime minister, Roseberry, contem-
plates suicide. This report simply illus
trates the chaotic condition affairs have
reached within the liberal party, which
stands in Great Britain for progress and
which consequently, has the sympathy
of all believers in the rights of man as
opposed to the hateful class distinctions
that are very slowly but none the less
surely giving away in the old world be-
fore the rise of the democracy. Advices
from London, we are sorry to see, indi-
cate that Lord Roseberry's illness has
become a matter of immense national
importance. His appearance at the last
cabinet council is described as pitiable.
His hair had turned visibly white since
he last met his colleagues few days be-
fore. He sat dull eyed, listless, almost
upcomprehending at the head of the
table. He tried to carry out his usual
functions, bat was silent and staring at
vacancy most of the time. HIS medical
advisers and Lord Roseberry himself
have resorted to all manner of things to
break the spell of insomnia. More than
once, in dispair, the premier has reused
his coachman at O'Clock in the morn
ing and driven over Epson Heath. In
the last day or two few brief snatches
of sleep have come to him, which some
what relieved the fearful brain tension.
If the crisis can be overcome without
worse disaster, the physicians say, he
will rapidly recover.
But with his health fully restored
Roseberry has generally became recog-
nized as mis6t and very poor substi-
tnte indeed for the great commoner who
proceeded him. While the premier is
an able man he is not great one, and
being lord is not in touch with the
great middle classes whose opinions he
II supposed to represent. AS long as
Mr.. Gladstone lives any substitute head

Is Philadelphia they are trying to get
a cheaper telephone service. Draw,
baugh, who claims to be the original in.
ventor of the telephone, and who was
only knocked out in the supreme court
by the changing of Chief Justice Waite
from his side to that of the Bell people,
making the final vote stand to 4 against
Drawbaugh, now offers to give Philadel-
phia service in which the charges for
business houses shall be $75 and resi-
dences $50. Council is discussing the
proposition. 1t is indicative of the
downward tendency of telephone rates
which are yet very far from being on the
basis that will insure the general intro
duction Of this great labor saving device
into the homes OF the country. The day
will come when it will be as common in
the country as it is now in cities.

An American Secretary of state

The activity and decision of character
shown by Secretary Gresham in the ALI
anca affair is cause for genuine de-
light to all true Americans. There was
no bombast or braggadocia about it,
Spain fired on one Of our merchant ves-
sells in most insolent and indefensible
way, and was promptly notified, in very
vigorous language, that she must not
only apologize promptly but make rep
aration. Today we learn from Washing.
ton that the secretary, not having heard
from Spain is considering an ultimatum,
OF piece with this course on the part
Of the Administration, is the decision to
call ohm Bull to task for his attempt to
browbeat Nicaragua into paying $75, 600
within seven weeks for the expulsion Of
British consul from the Mosquito res
eryation. The amount Is not excessive.

BRONZE STATUTES BROUGHT TO
GRIEF.
N. Y. Sun
Although rebuked by the court yester-
day the exhibition of nude woman was
kept up at the Casino. The woman
and two men who pose similarly, to-
gether with the manager Of the theatre
are under $500 bail each to appear for ex-
animation on charge Of offending the
public decency, and the managers an

In pursuance of the summonses obtained
at Superintendent Byrne's order on Friday
Rudolph Aronson, manager of the Ca

"bronze statuary," and Otto Koeher
Perham Nahl, and Bessie Stanton, the
nudes, were at the jefferson Market
police court yesterday morning. The
court room was full The managers
wanted to exhibit the woman nude, bntJus-
tice Simms declined to allow 1t. He also
declined an invitation to &c to the theatre
and see the posing.
When the other court business was fin
ished Justice Simms and the Casino con-
tingent went into the Justices private
room, and Detective Sergeant Titus who
with Detective Sergeant Rogers had wit
messed officially the Casino exhibition
described the statuary part of It, He said
that on Thursday night the Stanton wo-
man appeared on the stage with nothing
ON her body but small trunks and some
bronze composition. He was less than a
hundred feet from her and with opera
glasses he could detect the trunks but
without the glasses the effect OF the
statute was that of naked woman
bronzed over.
Detective Rogers corroborated the testi-
mony, and Justice Simms then ordered a
complaint drawn charging the accused
with a violation of section 675 of the Penal
Code which makes 1t misdemeanor for
any person willfully and wrongfully TO
commit an act which outrages public
decency. He fixed bail for Aronson and
the three models at 5000 each, and set the
examination for Tuesday next at 3 o'clock

WALTER WELLMAN gives some interest,
ing gossip from Washington to the effect
that in republican circles it is understood
that Tom Platt is completely unhorsed
in New York. He has lost his power to
such degree that the friends of Reed
are looking about in the empire state for
a new alliance. They once thought they
had everything fixed for 1896, but they
had not taken sufficient account of the
effect of the appearance of Mayor Strong
and other Ohio men in the politics of
that state. These Ohio men stand to.
gether, and McKinley's prospects in
New York are now brighter than those
of any other republican presidential as
pirant. Tom Platt has been killed off so
many times only to rise subsequently to
greater power that we think in this case
that the Mckinley men badly need a
plumb line.

The Ladies to the Front.

In Chicago Miss Jane Adams "a bad
spelling of good name), wants the con-
tract for cleaning the streets of the Nine
teenth ward, and, what is more to the
point, seems to have very good show
of getting the contract. Miss Adams is
taken seriously in Chicago, where she
has performed great work in behalf of
tenement house reform. Her admirable
record at Hull House has been a prac-
teal education in the direction of sound
philanthropic effort to all who keep
posted on interesting public events.
Whatever else she is she is no mere theo-
rist, but woman who has achieved
splendid results in her chosen field of eff
fort. There is no reason under heaven
why she should not be an admirable ad-
ministrative officer in the street clean
ing department, where she could
exercise to the full not only her special
qualifications but womans well under
stood knack of keeping things in order.
Political workers would be badly upset
and demoraized by her advent to such
field but the public would probably be
a larger gamer. Anyhow we would like
to see the experiment tried.
Over in New York Col. Waring, Mayor
Strong's reform manager of the street
cleaning department, has just appointed
two women inspectors, Miss Westover
and Miss Fay, and, it is reported that
more snch appointments are to follow.
Both of these ladies are remarkable
women and well deserve their success.
The world moves--in fact is striking
quite lively gait.

The Waste of Natural Gas,

We notice a statement in a Philadel.
pha paper that the first rolling mill to
use natural gas exclusively was the E.na
iron works, few miles above Pittsburg;
and this establishment has been one of
the last to abandon this fuel in the Pitts
burg district. After twenty years of
dependence upon natural gas the pro-
prietors have removed the pipes, and
are now returning to the use of coal.
Natural gas was not a factor of very
great importance in the Pittsburg dis
trict until in the eighties, and the point
of greatest consumption was reached in
1888, after which the decline began. 1t
has never been feasible to ascertain with
accuracy the quantity of natural gas
consumed each year; but Mr.. Joseph d.
Weeks, of Pittsburg, has prepared for
the United States geological survey an
estimate of the value of the coal dis
placed by natural gas, which has been
accepted as the mos: practical measure
of the consumption of natural gas. In
the period of its largest use the natural
gas consumed in Pennsylvania, measured

A RATTLE soARREp VETERAN.

Nearly every one in Medina Co., Ohio, knows
Stephen Rolph, of River Styx, the one legged
veteran who lost his leg al Winchester, Va,
March Esd, '62. In all probability the exposure
and priyations Of army service, the effects OF
which are felt as they grow older by nearly all
old soldiers, were the cause Of the serious ner-
yous prostration and sleeplessness of which
Comrade Rolph complained. He says:
People hereabout know me pretty we'll, but
you can tell others that was down for about
six months with nervous prostntioD and sleep
lessness for which tried various doctors and
medicines, but DIR. Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer

MAPLEyoN WEDDING.

A wedding took place near Mapleton at
the home Of the BRIDES parents on March
21, 1896, the contracting parties being
Enoch Muffly, of Robertyille, and Miss
Dency Matilda Blackledge, of Mapleton.
The marriage ceremony was performed by
Rev. j. Werlich, of Osnaburg, After the
nuptial knot was tied well-prepared

N this basis, was valued as follows:
NheSe figures give apprOXimatelY [

These figures give approximately the
value of the natural gas consumed in
Pennsylvania; but they convey no idea
of the vast amount of gas that was
wasted in the earlier years of its use.
The wanton waste of natural gas for
many years is painfully apparent now;
but regretful recognition Of the fact will
not bring back the billions of cubic feet
of gas that did not yield its quota of
useful service. Reasonable economy in
the use of the gas during the period OF
its greatest abundance undoubtedly
would have trebled the length of its
career.
