RADICAL GAS CHANGES.
THE UNION COMPANY Is CONSIDERING RE-
ARRANGEMENT OF ITS SYSTEM

THE UNION COMPANY Is CONSIDERING RE-
ARRANGEMENT OF ITS SYSTEM.
The Board Of Engineers Of the Brooklyn Union
Gas Company has under consideration radical re-
arrangement OF its entire system. The company
now operates eight works. and a scheme has been
suggested whereby four Of these plants VIII be
abandoned and the supply for the entire city Will
be furnished from the four remaining. The plan
includes the abandonment OF duplicate sets OF mains
and the use OF the abandoned for supplying the
city with fue. gas While the engineers have not
yet arrived at decision. II is understood that the
former street plant OF the Fulton Municipal com
pany will be retained supply South Brooklyn and
a large part OF he Western District the Williams
burg works will supply the Eastern District the
Nassau works will supply the upper section OF the
city, and the plant OF the former Metropolitan com
pany will be retained for the purpose Of manufactur
ing a low-priced fuel gas. The fue! gas coulc
be supplied in all parts Of the city at sight ex,
pense as q duplicate system OF pipes Tor the iuei
nas can be laid with little trouble 1t Is estimated
that the fuel gas could be supplied 70 householders

Many Brookiynites remember the intense excite
strange 4 sappearance Of a sir. fourteen years old
named Maggie koeberlng from her home, at No l5i
Metropol.,an-ave At O'Clock the evening OF
February q. 1857 the g.r: sent from her home
10 a bakeshop. about six hundred feet away to
buy some bread. She made the purchase and LEFT
the shop on her way home. but she was never seen
by a persor who knew her after she left the shop
and started foi her home.
Search vas made and for several weeks the en-
tire city was excited over The unexplained disap-
pearance The excitemen, was Intensified by the
finding OF the bread which the girl had bought near
a large ovea IN the neighborhood. This led to the
belief tina; Mlgg.e had been brutally assaulted and
oven searched. but no icatons were lound
that a human body had been burned there. Grad,

Koeberiing says that the Arnett woman was ABOUT

correspouded precisely with those OF the little girl
who mad mys;eriously disappeared nine years ago
The Arnet; woman, after her recovery from the at

sNEERs THAT DID NOT COUNT.

The Eastern press are just now ex-
hausting all their sneersu upon the "boy
orator" They should 60 a little slow,
because we cannot always, sometimes
generally tell how things are coming
out.
Ii they remember, Samuel was
about to anoint Eliab, but the Lord
bade him not to look upon his coun-
tenance or on..the height of his stat
ure. Then Abinadab wa made to
pass before Samuel, but he would not
do. The same luck attended Sham
nah, and it was the same with seven
SONS OF Jessie.
@And Samuel said unto Jesse: Are
here all thy children? And he said,
there remaineth yet the youngest, and
behold, he keepeth the sheep.
4And he SEM and brought him in.
Now, he was ruddy. and withaI of d
beautiful countenance, and godly to
look to. And the Lord said: Arise,
annoit him, for this is he"
"Then, too, when David left his
fathers sheep and, with his popcorn,
apple-ple, doughnuts and cheese,
went UP to hs brethren who were in
Sauls army at Elab, and heard the
challenge of Goliath and saw every
body run just at the sound of the
giants voice, he wanted to know what
would come to the man who would
kill the Phllistines and take away the
reproach from Israel, and asked:
Who is this uncircumcised Philistine
that he should defy the armies of the
living God?" Then the anger of
Eliab was kipdled against David, and
with a regular tgoldbug sheer he
asked: with whom has thou left
those few sheep in the wilderness?"
But David got away with the giant
all the same, and later he lodged
Saul's ~javelin, and at last made so
much reputation for himself that the
world still remembers him, though it
has forgotten Eliab. He downed
goliath with a pebble fired from a
sling. Now this new David might
not be handy with the old-fashioned
sling, but he can sling English that
no goldbug Goliath can stand before
for a quarter of an hour.
The gold press had better give up
their sneers. There is something
serious on hand this year, and the
thing to be discussed is how, under
present conditions, the poor and I'M
lettered man can go out and make a
living for himself and his little fam
lily. No sheer will guess that conun-
drum. Salt Lake Tribune.

pire to positions Of prominence in the
administration OF that government. I
say it is a sign Of that respect for

ever I think Of government I thin of
the words Andrew Jeckson said, that
there are no necessary evils in govern
ment, that they exist only in its
abuse. Government, when it is
what it ought to be, when it is what
the people desire it should be, it is a
blessing without alloy, and it is our
duty as citizens to compel the love of
our government by every citizen, by
making a government so good, the
people will not only love it, but be
willing to lay down their lives that it
may be perpetuated to p~osterity. Zap

some law as unjust, when we criticize

an attack upon the government, and

change a bad custom.
