An aged Christian is soothed by
The assurance that his Almighty
Friend will not despise the enfeebled

and fainting weakness, Of the last
stage of bis servants life. When
advancing into the shade of death
itself, he is animated by the faith
that the great sacrifice has taken
the malignity of death away; and
that the Divine presence will attend
The dark steps ofthis last and lonely
enterprise, and show the dying tray

even this melancholy gloom is the
very confine of paradise, the imme-

CHEAP GAS.
New York Will Make A Fight For 1t.
Wants Municipal Ownership.

( New YORK VIII Make A right For IL
Wants Municipal Ownership.
New York, Dec. 11.-Alderman Oh
colt, at the meeting of the board of al
dermen introduced a resolution for
the appointment of committee of sew
en- members of the board to investi-
gate the cost of the manufacture of
gas.
The committee is also to have power
to investigate the whole subject of
gas production and lighting and to
present bill to the next legislature
which will provide for municipal OWL
ership of gas works.
Alderman OlcOtt proposes to insti-
tute a general investigation of the
cost and price of gas making. He is
also to find out why all bills Tor chea-
per gas to private consumers are side
tracked by the legislature.
In his preamble Alderman Olcott
says the plan has been successfully
tried in Philadelphia and other Amer
lean cities and in England and Scot
land. He says that the recent COM
bination of the gas companies makes
it improbable that the citizens of this
city will get a reduction from the
present rate Of $1.25 per thousand
any other way.
The resolution was adopted without
opposition.
The president announced that he
would appoint the committee later on.

SETTLE WITH THE SWORD.
Students at Heidelberg Cling to the
DueIIO TO Vindicnte Their Honor.
From the Phlladelphla Telegraph.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
The duels at Heidelberg are very IA
nous. There is, perhaps, no university
in Germany at which duelling is not prac-
ticed, but here IL is regarded almost as a
religious duty. The sons OF the rich con-
gregate at Heidelberg, and they are the
people who are especially addicted to this
form of student pastime in Germany. 1t
is not an exaggeration TO say that be-
tween 20 and 30 duels take place here every
week during the semester, and these near
ly all at the Hirschgasse. a little tavern
across the river from Heidelberg. which
is known and advertised everywhere as
the place OF resort for such encounters.
II has served in this capacity for great
many years. The signboards point to it.
1t is mentioned in the guidebooks, and
every ono knows OF II except the univer-
slty officlals and the police. 1t is not a.
10-minute walk from the center OF the
town though ii is outside OF the city ju-
risduction This, however, seems to be a
matter OF no moment, for some of the
clubs for a period last year fought in
the town Itself, at a tavern directly in
the shadow OF the old castle. There are
duels here some three or four mornings
every week by the members OF the vari-
GUS fighting clubs, of which Heidelberg
has an enormous number. The most aris-
tocratic OF them all Is the Saxe-Borussla.
IIllS cluD pears cartel TtldtlOuS Win I0d
Borussia OF Bonn, to which the Hohen-
zollerns belong. Five or six duels between
various combatants are usually fought on
the same morning.
This is all a curious commentary OF
law and order as they are supposed to
exist in Germany. Such machinery for
the enforcement of law as is to be found
here hourishes in no other land In the
world, and yet, for one reason or an
other, the duel goes on unhindered. BY
the laws Of the empire, without taking
into account the penalties prescribed by
the lower jurisdictions, there is the most
severe punishment for duelling and the
challenging to duel. In spite of various
attempts to make other interpretations.
the student duels have, by the supreme
court of the empire been decided to be
duels in the sense Of the law. Yet, pub
licly in the Reichstag. no longer ago
than last winter, an esteemed member
of the kaisers ministry declared himself
and his government at issue, not only
with the laws and the supreme court, but
with whatever moral feeling there may
be in the land against this malevolent
form of evil.

the relative merits of patched and I'M
patched bullets. For hunting the latter
are preferable, however for they cannot
be injured by moisture. In target prac-
tice some wonderful scores have been
made with patched bullets, and many ex>
pert marksmen will use nothing else
The common idea OF an express butler
is one having an explosive at the point
This, however, is the exception rather
than the rule. Properly speaking the ex-
press bullet is made like any other ex-
