Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you can
get better price for ii?
Ans.-As there is 10 difference in the
price the public will buy only the bet
ter. so that while or profits may Of
smaller on single sale they will De
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promin-
emily before the public both are certain
to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgment on them and
use only the better one.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. DEC. ii. 1898.

Has a KISSING MANIA AT 60.-For
kissing q young woman passenger on an
elevated train and being impudent in
the west Fifty.fourth street court when
asked to explain his conduct George VI.
Gay, 60 years cid, Of sec west 1l6 b
street, was yesterday committed to
Bellevue Hospital to be examined as TO
his sanity. But for his conduct in cour,
he would have escaped with fne ot
so for disorderly conduct.
Policeman Remington of the bicycle
squad was the complainant. He told
Magistrate Brapn that he and the
prisoner were passengers on a south
bound Ninth avenue train. Among the
other passengers was a good-looking
we'll dressed woman about 20 years old,
Gay stared at her all the way from 116;h
street, where she got on, to 104th street,
and then when she arose to leave the
car he threw his arms about her ano
kissed her.
The young woman screamed, ran
through the Car, nearly knocking the
guard of the platform in her hurry to
get out, and rushed down the stairs, two
steps at . jump, to the street, where
she boarded q northbound cable car. The
efforts of Policeman Rimington, wis
had dragged Gay out of the Car as his
prisoner, and of another policeman on
post at 104th street, to have the womap
stop long enough to make q complaint
were useless. When Gay was first az
rsigned he was charged with disorderly
conduct.
"What have you got to say for your
self?" asked Magistrate Brann.
II want a DOCTOR" replied the
prisoner.
"What for?" asked the magistrate.
"That's none of your business" said
Gay
'sMake the charge insanity" the
magistrate said to Polio. man Riming-
bo,. and the prisoner v as committee.

MR.. HUNTS STATEMENT.
Not True That the Heating Proposal
Figures Were Changed.

1t is not true, rs intimated at Mon
day nights meeting of the board Of
control, that the Hunt & Connell COM
pany had, through Mr. Hunt, changed
it's bid for heating No. 81 building. The
bid stood as originally submitted al
though in response to a request by the
committee Mr.. Hunt added a proposal
to build a connecting sewer without
extra cost if later such connection was
desired.
Mr.. Hunt has made the following
statement: "At the time the bids were
put in it was understood that there
was no sewer near No. 81 school build
ing, and that the closets to be put in
would necessarily have to be dry closets.
Between the time of this meeting of
the board on July II and the meeting
Of the building committee on July 49, it
was ascertained that the sewer could
be reached from the school building by
running a pipe to Washburn street.
Il was invited to meet with the COM
mittee on July Is and made this state
ment in regard to the, sewer, and said
that we would let our bid cover either
system of closet which the committee
or board might prefer, and if the flush
ing system with a sewer connection
was preferred we would do all the work
in connection Herewith without extra
charge.
Il was requested by the chairman of
the committee to put this in writing,
which l did there and then, so it will
the bids. 1t was simply giving the
board its choice of systems without
extra cost. Our bid stands as orig
inally made"

As for tho substitution Of bitumnous

furnaces. the character Of the work de-
iermlnes the Kind of coal to be used. Zig
iron makers will continue to use anthra-
clto coal. and b,tuminous coal will con-
tinuo to be used to heat the furnaces in
rolling mills and forges.
suggestion was made to one large coal
dealer that tho increasing use OF gas for
domestic purposes in this and other cities
might account for the slack demand for
2nthracitc during the summer months.
The gentleman said tho change was not
noticeable in this city, where gas had
not been used for cooking and heating TO
any considerable extent. But that. he
said, is IL competition which could not be
met by any change IN the price of coal.
People would use sas for other reasons
than economy, and nothing the coal peo-
pie could do would change their purpose.
