NO RECORD KEPT
or the Gas Lamps in the City-Bard to
Get Data on the Subject.

Get Data on the Subject.
Several firms which make ii bust
ness to gather statistics on different
subjects, have made unsuccessful efforts
in recent years TO secure data concern
ing the operation of the municipal gas
plant. This failure to give the desired
information, was not due to lack of
courtesy on the part of gas officials, but
to the absence of means for supplying
ii. For example, one firm recently ask
ed. among other things, for informa-
ton concerning the loss from leakage.
Secretary Godfrey Schul stated that
he had no facilities for giving this in
formation. There are a number of gas
street lamps about the city. but the eX-
act number can only be Appropriated.
When the electric light plant was erect
ed, several street lamps were permitted
10 remain. and have been in use ever
since To this number others have
been added by the gas board, and no
record has been kept To give the in
formation desired, II would be neces-
sary to learn the number of lamps. the
number of hours each Is used, and the
average daily consumption OF gas.

NAY GO TO CHARLESTON

Although the Elkins Cadets had
made all arrangements to go to Wash
ington tC witness the Inauguration OF
President Mckinley, it is likely that
there will be a change in the pro-
gramme. Some days ago it was sug-
gested that the Cadets should go to
Charleston to attend the Inauguration
Of Governor-elect Atkinson This idea
was laughed at at first, but in talking
the matter over many Cadets looked
with favor upon the change. If the
Cadets go TO Washington they will be
lost in the crowd, while in Charleston.
with their natty uniforms and splend,
id drilling. they will be looked upon by
the natives as about the finest thing that
ever happened. In the inaugural pro-
cessions it is the custom to place the
States in alphabetical order. This
would throw the Cadets away in the
rear. 1t has also been announced that
the paraders will march thirty-two
abreast down Pennsylvania avenue.
The Cadets would not make a very i'm
posing appearance, and would have no
opportunity for the display of their pro-
ficiency in military tactics. Then. in
addition to all this, there is a feeling
among some of the members, that the
Inauguration of a Republican Governor
of West Virginia is Gn event Of
such Importance that if duty alone be
consulted, the Cadets should go to
Charleston.

"a Tornado" Lincoln J. Carriers great
est success, opened an engagement at the
Grand last night 10 a packed house. The
production was excellent and merited the
applause which punctuated the perform
ance. A surprising feature was the fact,
unusual in theatrical productions of any
kind. that the company is stronger than
any which has yet appeared in the piece.
The scenic and mechanical effects are
simply marvellous. The tornado in the
first act is as strong a piece Of stage real
ism as has ever been seen here. Perhaps
the most intensely dramatic situation Is In
the dissecung room. with Its thrilling cl-
max. The musical specialies were very
clever. "A Tornado made a pronounced
hit, and the viva voce advertising which
the production will receive from those who
saw it last night, should insure packed
houses during the remainder Of the en-
gagement Seats at the box Office.

A Perp1exinS Situation,


G., R. S. is widow with one child.
In the social circle where she moves
there is man to whom she is devoted
~ attached. He tells her that he likes
her better than any other woman in the
world, but yet he never talks of love
of the sort she DESIRES He often visits
her, and says he enjoys her society
very much, but never talks love to her,
and does not seem to have any for her
She is very unhappy in consequence,
and asks what she can do to win his
love- Answer: There is an old say
ing that the arrows of love are some
times eccentric and do not reach the
spot they were aimed for. It is one Of
the most difficult of undertakings to
win love. For some strange reason
love seems to be rather sudden and
spontaneous growth, and comes at no
ones beck or bidding. Occasionally
love is won by long series Of acts Of
devotion, but such cases are excep-
tional. The only thing you can do is
to make yourself more entertaining
and agreeable than any one else he
knows, and so impress him with your
sterling qualities that he will naturally
turn to you for association and good
fellowship. But be not too demonstra-
tive. Many an engagement has been
prevented by too much '*gush" and a
too evident affection. There are tenn
