pany says the bicyclsts monopolize the
kennett turnpike, preventing persons
travelling in carriages, or vehicles coming
to or from our city when they hold their

bicyclists using the pike, without paying
toll for the privilege, the same as owners
of horses and Wagons
lie Is also opposed to the bisyclsts hold
ing any more century runs On the pike rs
it seriously interferes with travel on the

excellent condition for their especial bene
fit aud want to monopolize the centre of

ADVICE ON
GAS MATTERS.

ii your ugnt is poor there Is
something locally wrong, as your
gas is the same as is supplied to
any other customer
If your burners spread the light
like the fingers of a hand, they
should be cleaned out or replaced;
cleaners furnished without charge.
lfyou have old-tashioned shades
with small openings at the bottom
you should change them at once to
get best results from your gas.
Ifyour Welsbach lights are not
as good as they were fornlerly,they
probably need new nantes or
other attention,
Ifyour stoves do not give out
heat as formerly.the openings may
wanting clean out.
Architects should plan tor liber-
al sized gas pipes in in all houses.
even if other illumination is con-
tenplated.
Large gas pipes should be put
in all houses, because gas is used
in more rooms than was formerly
the custom, and because heating
and cooking stoves are largely
used now and are mostly placed
at the farthest distance from the
meter and need a full flow of gas.
Builders and owners OF new
houses should see that gas pipes
are put in every house. because
purchasers or renters will expect
to have the advantage Of competi-
ton in illumination, even if they
do NOT want to use gas at present,
Houses will sell better or rent
better if they have gas pipes in
them.
Gas consumers should watch
their own meters so as to be satisfied
with their bills; meters are SO Sim
pie that any intelligent person can
read them and thus know the cost
of their gas as time passes.
Housekeepers should admit no
one to their houses on the pretense
ofbeing sent from the Gas Office
unless the applicant is personally
known or can show the silver
badge and the lettered cap of COM
pany
All houses should have an out
side light burning all night to illu-
inmate their side and back build
ings. and should also keep some
lights burning all night in rooms
and halls to keep off burglars; it is
far better to use a few thousand ex
ira feet Of gas each year than to
have the house robbed once.
Dollar gas makes the cheapest,
best and safest light, and the most
convenient fuel yet produced.
Now is the time to order Cook
ing Ranges for Summer; ample hot
water for family bathing, can be
supplied with them, while the tenn
perature Of the kitchen is bearable
and the remainder of the house left
COO! and comfortable.
For further advice or information
apply at Gas Office, S27 Market St.
where Sample Lights, Stoves and
Ranges can be seer.

The tide has at last turned, and instead
OF the public debt being augmented every
month II has, since the Inauguration of
President Mckinley, been materially re-
tiueed. For the month Of March there has
been an increase of S375 900 from the in
ternal revenue compared with the same
month in 1895, while the customs re-
ceipts, which were then SIS, 344 900 have
increased to 81, $50, 00o making IL surplus
Of more than 81, 0lO,0 600 Of receipts over ex-
penaitures. A few more months like the
past one will enable the people generally
to see that Republican rule is sure to bring
prosperity. The only bar to future nd.
sancement will be the demagogical oppo.
sition of the so called Democrats who fear
that the success Of the financial program
Of the Republicans means the decudency
OF their party.
