is one way Of expressing sense
OF nerriment, but the hot time
some house keepers have in
sw@ltering over hot ranges with
unsatisfactory fires, with wood,
coal, ashes, dirt and annoyance,
is it any wonder they look
weary and broken down ? But
with y modern gas range all this
:roubie disappears. The range
viii cook anything-it will do it
quickly. it will do it's work bet
ter and more satisfactory than
any coal range ever made. 1t
will heat water for the bath or
any purpose, and what is more
the gas range is the most econ
umical cooker on the market.
Gas ct Sl.00 per thousand feet
is ten cents a hundred. An aver
age family can cook three meals
daily With less than 100 feet OF
Gas. Ask those using gas and
you will see. Those who have
just found out the benefits are
most enthusiastic. We have
known it SO long we wonder
why every body don't see 1t as
we do. but they will soon see It.
We are setting ranges every

along another sounder OF it's

Washington, Nov. 7.-Secretary Long
has decided that, unless some reliable
wrecking company will undertake to
raise the Spanish war vessels Cristohal
Colon. Vizcaya and Rena Mercedes on the
no cure no pay" principle, the efforts TO
save those ships will be abandoned 1t Is
thought that the Reina Mercedes can be
raised at tritiing expense and added to the
American Navy. The work of floating
will be commenced in a short time. After
raising the Mercedes the smokestack and
upper works Of the sunken collier Merr-
mac, which lies at the mouth of the har-
bor will be blown of. 1t will not be ne
cessary to blow up the Merrimac entirely
as when the smoke stack and masts are
gone there will be thirty five feet of wa
ter over her, 1t Is not probable that the
Colon can he raised and the possibility of
raising the Vizcaya Is even more remote.
The Vizcaya is eaten by rust and decay.
Perhaps the only thing the American

can be saved and used on American ships
