If Mayor Taggart were sincere in what
he proposes the Journal would regard with
much solicitudeN bis proposition to consider
the purchase of the property of the Con-
sumers' Gas Trust, with a view of putting
down sufficient mains to the receding gas
region. AS he is not sincere. his talk about
the purchase is regarded as one Of his po-
of the Council in a false light. This propo-
sition is too wild, however. to deceive
the ignorant people who regard him
as a wonder. Mr.. Taggart has no idea of
purchasing the property referred to-not
the least. When it comes to the pinch he
will not put himself on record in favor of
purchase unless he is certain that the
Council will reject it.
II the shareholders and managers of the
Consumers Trust had good reason to be-
lieve that 1t would be a good investment
to put down another main line to the gas
sixty miles away and to put in new pump
ing machines, they would do it. They do
not do it because they are satisfied that
money expended upon new lines and pumps
would be thrown away. Is there any rea-
son to believe that Mayor Taggart is not
of the same opinion? Are there facts or
sion? If there are, the wide-awake men of
the Consumers Trust have them not. AS
matter Of fact, those who are best in
formed admit that there will be no gas in
of the gas people. win not give an opinion
as to the possibility of supply that will
warrant the outlay.
1t would be a godsend for the Consum-
ers' Trust to dispose of it's property for any
considerable portion of the money it rep
resents. 1t would be calamity for the
city to purchase at any price and put sew
eral hundred thousand dollars into new
main lines and pumping stations 1t would
be a blunder. because it would take a vast
amount of money. all of which would be
represented by miles of rusty pipes and
acres Of abandoned pumping machinery in
four or five years. Under the present valua-

MAN WHO DEFENDED CUITEAu
"A morose' UnnpprOachable Hermit
Living Alone in n Sc
cluded Spot.

A party of Indiana fishermen Just re-
turned from trip among the remote
and unfrequented lakes of northern
Indiana, ran across a little cabin occu-
pied by Attorney Scovill. the LAWYER
VINO defended c. j. Guiteau in his trial
for the assassination of President Gar.
held, says the Emporia Gazette.
The humble cottage in which SEQ
VIII was found is situated near the banks
or Mud lake, where he lives the life Of
the most rigid recluse, neither seeing
nor beingseen. His simple wants are sun
piled by the merchants of the nearest
town. lie puts in his time, nobody
knows how, as his unkempt and un-
couth figure is seldom seen outside the
walks OF the little low cottage, half
hidden by the growth of twining vines
and underbrush.
From an able, affable and influential
barrister, Scovill has grown into t,c-
lturh, morose, unaPproachable hermit,
ueslrlng no communication with the
world In which he was such a conspicu-
Gus figure rs only counsel for his rela
tive IL years ago. Scovill feels that he
is still stunned and despised by every
body for his part in trying to save the
neck of Guiteau on the ground of
hereditary insanity, though he con-
tends that he did nothing more than
his duty. The loss of his wife and
other misfortunes that seemed to pur-
sue him with relentless hand added to
ms melancholy and confirmed him in
his determination to abandon the
world and spend the remained of his
days in seclusion.
For several years ScoviH has led the
lie OF hermit. spending his time at
me most secluded spots he could find.
lie still contends that Guitcau was men
rally irresponsible for his act in kill
'a'f 'hH president. and points to the rec
ord o. he family, a number of whom
nave hoih before and since the tragedy

Presbyterians Take a Rest.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 24.-The Presby-
terian general assembly transacted rou-
tine business without any friction and
adjourned early in the afternoon for a
trolley car ride to Minnehaha Falls.
The commissioners need the rest, for
between assembly, committee and pop
ular meetings they are nearly tagged.
They need rest, too, to face the trying
questions that are bound to come up,
chief of which are the McGiffert case
and the Peoria overture. In the Nc
Giffert matter the committee is consid-
ering two reports. One is understood
to favor committee to wait on DR..
McGiffert and invite him to recast his
theology on Presbyterian lines or have
the kindness to resign without further
palaver. The other, it is said, is along
sterner lines, and looks to DR.. McGif-
fert's involuntary withdrawal from the
church at the earliest possible date.
