change Bulldlnkf Wilmington Del. March
TO the Stockholders OF the wilmington
Coal Gas Company:
Not having list of your company
address you thus publicly. My object in
doing so Is to give you authentic knowl-
edge OF my intention as controlling stock
holder of the Oxy-Hydrogen Gas Com
pany. 1t is a matter Of public notoriety
that j have erected first-class buildings
for a gas works sufficiently large to sup
ply the city OF Wilmington, a portion OF
the machinery for the same Is now on the
ground and the rest ! am purchasing and
| viii be prepared to make and supply gas
early In the fall Plans are now being pre-
pared liking the location and size OF the
necessary pipes. Upon the completion OF
these plans / will at once ship these pipes
to Wilmington. and am now making
contract 10 lay the same
II is my Intention to supply gas TO the
citizens OF Wilmington In competition
with your company, In which hold hve
shares. / have no desire to ruin the value
Of your property needcssly, and there
fore, say frankly to you that / would pre-
fer to buy your property at its value. The
estimate Of value however, must not be
predicated upon the present earning ca
pacity Of your works. as the competition
with q new company IN operall9n VIII
probably entirely destroy this earning ca
pacity and account must be taken OF the
fact that the Oxy-Hydrogen Company has
the right to do part or the business. This
charter still runs for three years, and II is
hardly likely that the Legislature Will re-
fuse an extension Of the charter after the
tAflDlliOn 1 VIII nave luNt Oh llt Dolld
fidos OF my intentions.
A majority of your stockholders have /
think, wisely pooled their stock for sale.
l have made an offer for this pooled stock.
this offer rs the best j am able to make
under the circumstances. and it Is folly TO
/ expect that 1 will ever make any better
AS [ continue eXpending money, the value
/ Of your plant to me Is daily reduced.
The only thing left for your company is
competition and resulting low prices for
gas prices which will not pay you divi-
| dend
You will be allowed to do the business
at these low prices
The best legal talent in the state assure
me that my chartered rights are un-
doubted.
The valuation placed upon your prop
erty is about 100000. BY the expenditure
OF 100000 ! will be enabled to reach more
than half of the consumers now supplied
by your company. The ONy-Hydrogen
Company will commence this contest free
of debt-you can, therefore, judge what
the result will be. My purpose in giving
you this statement OF the situation is by
timely warning to enable small stockhold-
ers and those dependent for their income
/ upon investments in your stock to sell out
at present high prices. Those who decline
to do so can find no fault with me in the
future. j. Edward Addicks.

Literary.

Lot0rory.
The North American Review for
June opens with . most suggestive
and practical paper by Andrew Car
negie. entitled, The Ship of State
Adriit." in which he points out the
deterioration since 1890 Of the
United States in natural wealth and
commercial prosperity, and in plain,
logical, and convincing statements,
shows why such q state of things
exist.
The Bookman for June sustains its
remarkable reputation for freshness
OF interest in all its departments
The illustrations are especially inter-
esting and valuable in this number,
particularly those accompanying an
article Of exceptional importance by
the we'll known London editor, Gle
ment K. Shorter, on ''Mrs. Gaskell
and Charlotte Bronte." Some Of
these are from rare portraits and
drawings. and have never been pub
lished before.
Godey's magazine for June begins
with vivid account Of the annual
snake dance OF the Mcqu is of Ari-
zona, with descriptions and illustra.
tions Of other peculisrities of he GUS
toms Of these Pueblo Indians. 1.-The
Beauty Of Mary Stuart" is the title
OF an intelligent and interesting COM
parison Of the accounts and pictures
extant Of the unhappy Queen Of
Scots, with which eleven Of the most
important portraits are reproduced.
A critical article on 1.-The Art Of
Julia Marlowe Taber," is embellished
with about . dozen pictures of the
popular actress in different charac-
tiers. 'Some Industrial Art Schools
for Women" presents information Of
very real value concerning the places
to study in New York City. and the
sixth Of the Talks by Successful
Women" consists o. q chat with Nor
dica. the American prima donna,
about her career. These and the
fashion department make up the
features Of particular attractiveness
to the sex.
