Miss Winnie Davis and Mrs. Hayes will
receive at the foot of the platform. Mr..

In letter he says ~ had proposed

Gettysburg during the coming reunion
of Confederate Veterans in Richmond.
have, however. become aware that
the criticism in that lecture of certain
eminent Confederate leaders had Gre
ated an anxiety in the minds of some of
our devoted southerners that such q
lecture might be construed as breach
of that whole-souled and universal hos
pitality which is the prevailing spirit of
the people of Virginia, and especially
of the city of Richmond, in welcoming
to our boarders the valiant defenders
of our homes and fresides.
without in any way changing my
opinion as to the historical truth of the
statements 1 have made, I shall not pre-
sent them at time when 1 think they

nation with air is effected in so-called
mixers" before the gas Is led into the
burner, whether for lighting or heat
ing. 1t has recently been found neces-
sary to protect these mixers" by law,
as the thrifty Indiana consumer got
into the habit of boring them out so as
to obtain a larger orifice and conse-
quently a greater supply of gas. This
has now been made q criminal offense;
and still further to protect the COM
panies, a piece of hardened steel set In
a conical bearing is inserted in each
mixer, so that an attempt to bore IL
out is useless and a trial at forcing a
hole with a nail smashes the whole
mixer and compels an appeal to the
company for repairs. This device has
been patented and works excellently.
In spite of the convenience of natural
gas IL cannot be denied that its use Is
attended with some danger; and be-
sides the usual risks that are more or
less familiar there are others surround
ed with all the mysteries of spontane-
Gus combustion. For instance, the
mains. which run three feet under
ground, often leak at the joints, inn
pregnating the soil with gas and killing
vegetation for Is or 20 feet around.
When these leaking joints are in
sandy clay peculiar to the region. they

a compound that is spontaneously in
fiammable. perhaps with the lime in
the soil IL Is necessary for workmen
who are looking for leaks to have a
pile of sand ready to smother the
flames that are so apt to break out.
Nor is this all The clay often gets
into the pipes. forming hard balls. and
after these are removed and left In the
air they often catch fire. The danger
to property and the necessity of care
on the part OF workmen Is obvious.
In fact some serious accidents have
impressed this on the public mind. In
one recent AFFAIR the whole end of a
building was wrecked, and In another
an entire building was destroyed with
the loss of several lives. Even where
life is safe an unexpected danger turks
for those who are employed in and
about the stations. The gas seems TO
have a peculiarly injurious effect on
the eyes, and those who work in IL
may temporarily lose their sight. Re
Gently a telephone message was re-
ceived from one of the stations at the
company's office TO the effect that
eight men had suddenly gone blind all
at once.
When IL is realized that all this ex-
penditure and all the risk is for the
maintenance OF an industry that must
soon vanish for lack of material. II
may be understood TO what high
rank in the scale of usefulness we
Americans of to-day have raised the

Disappears in the ouicksands.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
The steamer Coos Bay, which arrived
in port to-day from the Mexican coast,
brought news of the loss at Altata of
the Danish bark Lottie. The Eottie,
having finished loading a heavy cargo
of dye wool, prepared to sail for Ham
burg. There are two separate channels
in the bay, the driving line being a
long and treacherous bar of quicksand.
Captain Clausen of the Lottie sum-
moned to his aid the steam schooner
Altata, which is about the only avail
able vessel for towing service there.
The bark got along well enough in
the wake of the steamer until she
reached a narrow portion of the chan
mel she was traversing at point where
the bar was breaking with unusual
force. Here the Lottie got into trouble.
Swinging around on the hawser. she
struck a shallow spot and in a moment
began pounding upon the bar. The AL
tata could not pull the bark out of her
dangerous position. The captain and
crew of the Lottie knew what IL meant
to go ashore in quicksand and they lost
no time in getting out the boats and
making for the shore.
At daylight the sea was calmer and

meet the demand. The company has
met with complaints from customers on
all hands that their gas did not reach
them and finally found itself in great
trouble, realizing that either more and
larger mains must be laid at once or
that the pressure at the wells must be
increased. They accepted the latter al
tentative, hence the great pumping sta
ton near Strawtown, which is taking
in. gas at a pressure of lbs pounds to
the square inch and delivering ii at 300
pounds. Through this pumping station
passes 100000 cubic feet of gas per
hour, calculated at the ordinary con-
sumption pressure OF eight ounces, co.
900 feet being buried every hour under
the boilers.
why this great pressure at the wells
when the consumption pressure Is so
small? Is IL necessary to raise the
pressure to 300 pounds when at the
burners in Indianapolis eight ounces Is
all that is wanted? The answer 70 this
lies in the enormous friction OF the gas
rushing through the 10 or 12-inch pipes
at the rate of million and half cubic
feet an hour. Though the gas Is sent
out from the pumping station at a
pressure of 800 pounds. II reaches the
reducing stations" outside the city at
only 40 or 80 pounds. At these reducing
stations, of which there are several,
the pressure is still further lowered for
purposes of consumption-in different
degrees according to the size of the
main in the part of the town for which
IL is intended. Every reducing valve Is
closely watched by a man whose duty
II is to keep the pressure uniform, and
all the stations are connected by tele-
phone.
The pumps at Strawtown supply 60,-
900 burners in Indianapolis alone. The
gas is used chiefly mixed with air, as
in the ordinary Bunsen burner. The
lighting done with IL is therefore usu'
ally on the Welsbach and other incan'
descent systems, though II gives a pas
sably good light when burned directly
like the ordinary city gas. The combi'
