DR.. ]. w. Chisholm, vice president of
the company, addressed the members, ex-
planning the necessity for a cheaper fuel
for steam and heating purposes than coal,
and comparing the results obtained from
the new process of manufacturing gas
with those of coal.
THE enterprise which this company
represents has such great possibilities
the field for it is so extensive, the bene-
fits 1t offers to the people at large, so
apparent and far-reaching and the profit
and prosperity which its energetic prose-
cution insures to all it's members so sat
isfactory, that there may be a slight ex-
cuse for the blindaand obstinate increduli-
ty of some of its detractors and SANDER
ers, as well as for their groundless mis-
statements.
The secretary then read his report,
showing the cost of construction of the
plant and the disbursements made by the
company The report showed that seven
miles of mains have been laid, and that
there is now being laid 16-inch main
along the line of Grant avenue-lntending
to supply that street and connexions
both to the city front on the east ana
Powell street on the west.
The report further showed that hve.
year contracts had been made with $3.50
consumers and that service pipes ana
meters were being put in as fast as pos
sible and although work mas Deen IN
progress but a few days a large NUMBER
of services have been put in ana numer,
Gus customers connected ana suppheu
with gas.

CIGAR MAKERS REJOICING.
Objectionable Revenue Ruling Has
prac+icallv Been Rescinded.

The cigar makers of this city are re.
ioicine over a recent decision or ruling OF
n b. Scott, Commissioner OF internal
Revenue, relative to dealers seiilhs "
1000 in small quantities. Some time ago
he directed that dealers should not sell to
the manufacturers in quantities OF less
than a bale, box or a package, ana con-
STEERING that the original packages cost
from $500 up this ruling meant that the
small cigar makers would have to shut up
Strenuous efforts were made by the local
commercial bodies to have the ruling
modified. and the following dispatch from
Washington shows that the desired OBJ
iect has been accomplished:

MARRIED A MOTHER-lN-LAW.

MA ICHAEL FABRITSKY has all his life been
unknown to fame 1t was only when he as
saulted his mother -in-law that he from
the low1y plane of his existence, and when he COM
promised the matter by taking the lady to wife that
he became enrolled among celebrities.
Michael had been married and divorced What
may have been his reasons in either instance do not
appear and later he was charged with battering his
mother-n-aw surely reprehensible act for it is the
part of gentleman to take to his heels rather than
backen the eye of mature beauty in selfdeense
Michael was arrested, as he should have been, but
when his case was called the prosecuting witness
bushngly announced that hostilities were at end
Pressed for an explanation, she further stated that
she had married her son-n-aw.
Probably there was no better way out of the
trouble The courts are relieved, the power punish
placed in the untrammeled hands of the bride, a
curious and interesting condition of relationship
up and Michael and his bride entitled to credit for
tablishing precedent. We congratulate the happy
pair and hope they may live happily afterward
