NEW CASTLE. Feb 11.--If "all's we'll
that ends well matters could not be
more satisfactory between City Council
and the New Castle Gas Company, which
was about to throw up the sponge on It's
81, 500 agreement to light the city all
night and every night for year At .
special meeting Of City Council last
evening with all members present
except Mr.. Fagsn) President j. @. Shaw
ard Manager J. B Lancaster appeared.
President Shaw stated that, for the
credit OF the city, new tops would be-
placed on by the gas company. He hsa
ascertained that the old tops were
valueess aud that they would have to be
stored until such time as they could be
sold. 1t had been clearly proven to The
company that storms like the recent one
would totally incspacltate the service
Then, gentlemen, continued Mr. Shaw.
I'VE have decided to purchase the new
tops as rapidly IS we can, but we
must own them. Then we must light
the city ourselves. though II will cost
US $500 a year ct least TO put on the
streets a man with ladder to light the
lamps and do 1t sklllfully. for the new
burners are very delicate.
Again, we will soon have bugs TO
contend with, and the only thing we can
do Is to provide these lantern tops, even
II We have to secure the lamps one dozen
at time. Accordingly, We have ar
ranged TO have our man light the lights,
and he is ready TO go right in Co morrow.
He must also keep the lamps clean and
bright
After short conference Mr.. Eliason
moved that the gas company be given
authority to take entire charge OF the
lamps and to keep the tops In perfect
condition. This resolution was carried
Mr.. Eliason also moved that the gas
company be authorized to remove the old
street lamp tops. delivering them over 10
Council, and TO place new pattern OF
lamp tops, (which they can own. This
resolution also carried.
Mr.. Shaw then stated that the Ras
company wanted the option OF another
new contract at the expiration OF this
year A bAo ecAPohJ couit dnuAu W
light the city another year for the same
money. 1t should have the option III
we lose money, however, we will raise
the price and hold to it for another
year.
The new lights will be placed on the
most exposed portions, where the wind
operates very severely.
More Light for Dobbinsvine.
Several members Of Council suggested
that additional lamps be placed &C Sixth
and Harmony streets. Seventh aud
Larkin streets. Seventh street aud the
cnlvert, and in several places IN Dobbins.
Vile Mr.. Ellason moved that the Lamp
Committee be authorized TO place Ia the
lamps as suggested, but the subject was
postponed

that be opened Washington avenue az a

WHAT MAKES THEM POOR.

A Free Silver Kindergarten Lesson ED
the Benefit Of Those who Need It.
What is it makes some people poor?
The crime Of 1878.
How did that Crime" cause poverty
By striking down one-half of the mon
ey of tho country.
How much silver money was there in
the United States in 1878?
Less than $50, 600, 000.
How much have we now?
Six hundred and twenty-five million
dollars.
Does this increase Of about $3.50, 0O0,.
900 look like a reduction in the volume
Of our silver money?
So Senator Stewart says.
What causes floods, cyclones, droughts,
weevil, bollworms, grassaoppers, 60
pliers and other evils which iniure the
farmers and planters crops?
The gold standard.
What will make the cows give more
milk, the sheep grow G wool, tho
hogs weigh twice as much and the Ecns
lay bigger eggs?
The silver standard.
Name some Of the silver standard
countries.
China, India and Mexico.
Are the people Of those countries more
prosperous than the American farmers
and workers?
No; they are q great deal poorer.
Why has not their silver money made
those countries rich?
Ask something easier.
If there are more poor people in silver
standard countries than in gold using
nations, how would free coinage Of 90
cent dollars abolish poverty in the Unit
ed States?
That is one Of the things that nobody
can find out.

THINGS FOR EASTER WEAR.

1T IS ha rd to know just where to
L begin to tell about all the fascinating
new things shown for Easter wear.
To Degin with hats, that ail-ImportaDt
item OF the Easter costume. Never
before were there SO many exceedingly
lovely designs, such delicacy and airt
ness. There are two varieties of straw
very much in favor, one with a satin
smooth surface, in which can hardly be
seen an indentation. The other is in
reat loose bunches of loops an inch
long, caught into clusters. In black and
dark col0red straws there are Il number
or weaycS, many of them quite open work
and extremely pHtty. With q colored
facing of silk or velvet the effect is
very fetching. A smart little turbap of
stem green straw is tossed up at both sides
with clusters OF violets and knots of
yellow lace falling in soft ends on the
hair. A bandeau of violet velvet tilts the
hat Il tone side and is run through Il num-
ber OF emerald set rings.
On q flat-Drimmed hat of yellow TtIS-
can straw in coarse weave about the
crown are set fold upon fold of white
satin, made over thick cord, to give
the round effect now so popular. Along
the brim is strewn a delicate wreath OF
dainty pink rose and leaves with ends
trailing over the brlm at the back. AT
one side stands erect q tall pOmpOn OF
yellow lace sprnkled with rbIDestOncs.
a dainty tOque made of stiffened white
lace is decorated with clusters OF violets
with long twisted stems. Smooth faciDss
OF velvet are very much worn, and in
brilliant coiors, too. Hush rose is par
ticularly becoming TO many faces and is
lovely when used as 4 facing for hat
OF white or yellow straw, with TRIM
mings of roses and lace.

what is, perhaps, best of all, the hair is kept

Last Century BaAes.

a writer in fashionable journal re-
marks on the vast change that has taken
place in personal cleanliness with the last
century. When ladies wear powdered hair
nowadays and when they make such her
culean efforts to get their hair clean again,
it will give them an idea of what their
great gra ndmothers must have endured
when they wore their hair powdered all
the time. In fact, paint, patches and
powdered hair were not conducive to thor
ough neatness.
People in the days of powder depended
more on strong perfumes than on soap
and water. Many will recall the well-known
lines In which Pope revenged himself on

liant and intellectual as she was. had, as
