THAT ALLEGED GAS AGREEMENT.
SECRETARY KELSEY SAYS PERISH HAS NO CASE
AGAINST THE COMPANY.

AGAINST THE COMPANY.
Secfetary Of State Henry c. Kelsey, who is presi-
dent Of the Newark Gas Company. and has been
sued by Charles A. Furbush Of Philadelphia. for al
legged breach of contract in connection with the
sodation OF the Newark gas companies. said yester
day that the suit farce. and that Perish by
whom the claim transferred to Furbush had no
claim OF any sort in the matter. Said Mr.. Kelsey:
"IIe never performed any service in the consoida-
tion never influenced vote. and had absolutely
nothing to do with II. lie did not organize any new
company or pretend TO do SO; never rendered any
stock and neither the present the old gas COM
panies. nor myself indebted TO him for a dollar
There agreement, but Perish never tried to
carry IL out. II proved chimerical. and aban-
doned with his consent"
In regard to the alleged offer to give Perish $4,000
OF the common stock in settlement of his claim Mr..
Kelsey said that there was not word of truth in
IL. and that he had never made such an offer. The
statement of the profit which Perish claims he
would have made II the contract had been carried
out was. Mr. Kelsey said. ridiculous.
Secretary James Il. Dusenberry, of the Newark
Gas Company, said that there seemed to be In
tention TO arouse public feeling against the com
nents in regard the cost of manufacture and the
prices in Newark compared with other cities.
At meeting OF the Board OF Directors OF the
Newark Gas Company yesterday contract for the

The wizard OIL Co.

The Wizard Oil Company is more
meritorious than half the vaudeville
shows now on the road pretending to he
first class. OF course for the privilege of
being admitted for Is cents, one must
listen to talk upon the merits of Wiz
ard oil, but the talk is short and actual
ly interesting, and consumes no more
time than the space between acts when
there is nothing to look at but the drop
curtain.
As before stated, the show part of it is
Immense, and reveals surprising
variety, com prising the pleasing features
of the concert, the minstrel, the circus
and the comedy. The quartette have
excellent voices and sing fresh, new
songs. Mr.. Gallagher is possessed of a
rich bass voice and is comedian and
facial artist of rare ability. The tenor
in his solos was pleasing, the rendition
of "Bonnie, Sweet Bessie one of the
prettiest of old Scotch ballads, being
plaintive and sweet. The little man is
stature makes his song and dance appear
very comical. The juggler has also
much talent, and his baton spinning
was never sexcelled in The Dalles. The
evening concluded with roaring farce
comedy, full of fun, which put the large
audience in the best of humor. The
opera house will be crowded nightly, as
the entertainment is deserving of liberal
patronage.

exploit: Some sheep from the Mitchell
country. moved in on territory which
the cattlemen say shall not be herded
by sheep. One day last week, fourteen
armed men visited this trespassing band
of sheep and one of the party, who was
masked, relieved the herder of his gun,
at the same time giving him some point
ers as to the inadvisability of his remain
ing in that section of the country if he
placed any valuation on his life. The
whole party then fred into the band OF
sheep, killing and wounding from 200 to
$50 head, burned the camp outfit and
departed promising to return again if
the sheep were in that locality at a
given time.

The racing features, also. have excited
great interest, and besides the local
favorites, there will be as many as forty
racing horses from abroad. A new de-
vice for starting in race will be shown
for the first time, known as the electric
starting gate. The horses are all lined
up in front of web stretching entirely
across the track. At the instant the
button is touched the web disappears

PLEAD GUILTY.
Guy Moulton Fined $40 for. sending
Obscene Letters Through the
Mails

Guy L. Moulton, proprietor OF the
steam dye works, at The Dalles, was ar
raigned in the United States district
court yesterday charged with narrowing
his wife, from whom he is separated, by
sending her letters couched in abusive,
taunting language, and naming the
woman and her relatives in appellations
not fit for print. The trial was short,
the defendant pleading guilty and he
was fined $40. The Oregonian today says ::
"He looked pale and disgusted, and
had evidently made up his mind that
the easiest way out of it was the best,
as he waived reading of the complaint
and pleaded guilty. There must have
been some extenuating circumstances
connected with his case, as the court inn
posed a fine of only SO, which was PAID. /.

Deputy Marshal Humphrey, who ar
rested MoUlton at The Dalles, tells the
Telegram this story of the prisoners 8
ehagrin on finding himself in the mar
shal's presence.
"In the dye works business Moulton's g
father is connected with him, and it
seems that the pair had received an ink
ling of the proposed arrest. Moulton
had therefore cautioned his father to
keep close watch for any government
officer that might come about the place
andglve warning to the writer of OBJ
scene letters that he might make good
his escape by the rear windows.
"As it happens, Deputy Marshal
Humphreys home is in Albany, where
also the Moultons long resided before
removing to The Dalles, and all parties
were well acquainted. Humphrey ar
rived to make the arrest early in the
morning, finding the elder. Moulton
arisen, but the younger still in bed.
I want to see Guy said the officer
''Peter Moulton opened his mouth tc
give warning, but the look on his face
gave his purpose away.

tainly no risk of war, even of the small
est war, should be taken without the
best of reasons. Of course there are
reckless spirits in the land, who would
welcome war for what they could maze
out OF 1t, but the great body Of Amerl-
can citizens are conservative and peace
full and would not tolerate any policy
that would be likely to bring war except
for tbs very highest of re lsons. No ad
minisration that should pick quarrel
with Spain, or shut it's eyes while the
reckless adventerers of the land were
committing acts the tendency of which
was to involve us in war with that
nation would long have the respect and
confidence of thu great mass of the
American people.
On the other hand forbearance On
the part of our government might
go to such point that it would
cease to be virtue in the eyes Of
the country. Desolation and slaugh-
ter in Cuba may proceed to such an ex-
tent that we should be false to the claims
of humanity and make ourselves almost
participators in that desolation and
slaughter if we did not interfere to put a
stop to it, We should certainly not sit in
differently by and allow the Spanish
troops to rayage and kill indefr itely. On
the other hand we should not actively in
terfere until every other resource for the
pacification of the island has been ex-
hausted by US and until it becomes evident
that continuation Of the war means
the practical destruction and depopula-
ton of the island. AS we observed some
time ago there is one sound reason for
interference in the Cuban war; and that
is that the war has become indiscrimi-
nate massacre and devastation. When
this is proved beyond reasonable doubt
to be the case interference ON our
part, to stop it. even if we have
to use force, will be justifiable. 1t
may not then even be polite bur it will
at least be justifable But until that
condition is proved to exist it will

PATRIOTISM AND THE FLAG.
Danger That the Flag May Become Merely
Fetish.
(From the Century magazine. }

(From the Century Mngazine.)
Much has been said within recent
years about the teaching of patriotism in
the public schools of the United States.
10 the end that it might be encouraged,
many of the schools have been provided
with flags. and in a considerable num-
Der formal exercises take place from time
to time when the flag is paraded, salut-
ed, and the pupils pledge allegiance to
it. The sight is always impressive ard
gratifying.
Yet it may properly be asked whether
there be not some danger lest the onthu-
siasm thus aroused expend itself upon
the sign rather than upon the thing
sianifled; chat is to say, whether our
patriotic endeavors may not, unless
wisely directed, produce sentimental
attachment to all emblem instead of
creating Il type of civic life whereby the
emblem is genuinely glorified. 1t is of
the highest Importance that our children
and youth shomld be taught that the
