GAS REDUCED TO
SIXTY-FIVE CENTS
Consumers Benefit by the War Waged
Between Rival New York
COMPANIES

NEW YORK, May 1.-The New York
Mutual Gas Light Company to-day gave
notice that the price Of gas to all its con-
sumers had been reduced from 81 10 to 65
cents per thousand feet. The Consolidated
Gas Company also announced similar
reduction
William L. Purdy, as the secretary of
the New York Mutual Gas Company, adj
mitted that the reduction was the result
of war between the Standard Gas Com
pany and the Consolidated Gas Company
and its ally, the Mutual Gas Light Com
pany
1T is the outcome" said he. "of the
war that has been waged against the
Mutual Company and the Consolidated
Company since the 1st of December by
the other companies. The Mutual Com
pany is going to do as well by its Gus
toners as any other company for it's
patrons. The proposed municipal owner
ship of gas plants has nothing to do with
the cut IT is simply a question of fight"
AS a result of the rate war Consolidated
gas stock declined thirteen points on the
Stock Exchange, where almost % 900
shares were dealt in. The other local gas
stocks are not listed on the Stock Elk
change.
There were rumors that the Standard
Gas Company would reduce its rates, but
at the office of the president, Russell
Sage, this was denied

GRAPE-NUTS.
A TRUE BRAIN

Can Be Built by the Right Materials.
The statement is made and is sus-
ceptible of proof that brains are built
somewhat as a wall or house is built
Of certain defined and well understood
things.
Wood may be the principal and larg
est article in a house, but it cannot be
formed into a house without the nails,
bolts or screws to hold it in shape.
We know that albumen is the bulkiest
thing used by Nature in building
human brain; but albumen alone does
not make a brain. 1t requires the
small particles of Phosphate of Potash
dixie the nails in the house, to form the
albumen into what is known as gray
matter in brain and nerve tissue.
The albumen exists in large quanti-
ties in a variety of food.
The Phosphate of Potash is found in
its truest form in certain parts of field
grains. When man shows brain fag,
or a woman shows nervous symptoms,
it is prima facia evidence that the
Phosphate Of Potash is used up faster
than the food supplies it, Therefore
either quit the worrying work or get
food strong in the natural Phosphate
of Potash, to more quickly and surely
replace the daily loss.
That is the especial errand of the
famous food, Grape Nuts.
Good sturdy nerves, and a healthy,
active, tireless brain, viii make a man
rich where he is sure to fail when the
brain is unable to carry out the be-
hests Of the mind.
Remember that Phosphate Of Potash
as a drug will not do, for Nature takes
kindly only TO such body builders when
presented in food as prepared in
Dame Natures own laboratory.
Grape Nuts are to be found in all
frst-class groceries, and once tried
the delicious flavor will never be for
gotten, While the feeling of increased
strength and vigor Of brain and
nerves viii tell it's own tale.

PHILADELPHIA, May l. Dewey
day was celebrated in this city with i'm
posing pOmp and ceremony Governor
Stone, by proclamation, made the day
a holiday in this State on the recon-
mendation of the Legislature He was
not invested with the power to make
the event continuous, so greater efforts
were extended to render the exercises
the more suspicious. Public institutions
were open for business as usual.
The most important event was the
naval parade on the Delaware River,
which was reviewed by naval and civic
dignitaries. The harbor presented a
beautiful spectacle, innumerable flags
and white bunting, entwined with the
city colors, blue and gold, being dis
played in profusion on hundreds of yes
sells. The buildings along the river
front and throughout the city were
gaily decorated.
The cruiser Raleigh was the chief
object of interest. The warship was
anchored at the extreme turning point
of the line of the naval parade. Next
to her was the revenue cutter Algon-
quin and all the available craft were
assembled at League Island.
All the vessels to participate in the
pageant started at a signal from the
navy yard from point short distance
below League Island. The parade pro-
reeded up the Delaware River passing
the Raleigh, Captain Coghlan re-
viewing the procession from the bridge
of the warship. AS the head of the
procession reached the Raleigh the
cruiser fired the national salute, and
then until the last vessel in the parade
had repassed over on the west side of
the river the salutes from the Raleigh
were almost continuous.
The Russian naval officers who are
here experimenting the construction of
the new Russian warships at Cramps
participated Fin the ceremonies, review
ing the parade with captain Coghlan.

were being held in honor of the hero

A woman newspaper reporter, who is
now well-known author, once called up
on Miss Grace Dodge, the millionaire or
ganizer and head of the New York Work
ing Girls Clubs, who is also the author
of "a Bundle of Letters to Busy Girls,"
says the Philadelphia Saturday Evening
Post The servant looked sympathetical-
ly at the reporter, invited her into the
house, took away her wet rubbers and
shoes and brought dry ones, an act which
filled the visitors heart with joy. Then
she brought a cup of tea and soma bis
cult
After a long wait Miss Dodge came in.
Are you a reporter" she asked the
newsgatherer. Yes? 1 am very sorry
you should have come up here this rainy
day to see me. You know l never talk
about my plans for publication, but We
can have just as nice a time talking
about books and pictures. Won't you
have another cup of tea? Must you be go

and have the coachman drive you to your
office or your home. Come up some day
when we can have more time and I'll tell
you all about the working girls clubs, but
of course you won't print any of it,"
The reporter rode home, but she didn't t
call again-at least not on business.
