have the cares and expenses of a house,

fine myself to just four words, I should
say: Start a bank account It is an
easy matter to do so nowadays, when
both the savings banks and others offer
women every possible convenience and
inducement. Besides, it is good thing
to do, for several reasons. It fosters a
feeling of independence and develops busi-
ness woman. Then, too, it Is a convenient
and desirable thing to pay bills by means
of checks where it is possible to do so.
1t preserves record of the transaction,
and frequently prevents annoyances and
mistakes, To nay way of thinking, a
bank account, even though it be a small
one, should be looked upon as necessity
rather than luxury by every woman
who has business affairs of any conse-
auence whatever"
A novelty in eapes is broad scarf of
crepe de chine draped around the Shout

the flames, while Craig and others set to
the task of shutting off all of the valves
which lead to the two immense gasom-
eters outside. When this was done the
air engines sent stream of air through
the inner pipes and receptacles, Kidding
them thoroughly of gas. Meanwhile the
hose below burst, and one which had been
pulled to the roof of the building could
make little progress in the extinguishing
of the flames.
Two alarms were turned in. The first
was sounded from b 124 at North Point
and Larkin street, and the second from
box 1913. at Hyde and Chestnut streets.
Six engines were soon on the scene, but
the far away points at which the by

men. Streams had TO be pumped through
an intermediate engine, and but three
lines of hose could be spread to the con-
Migration. Had there been a hydrant of
pure water on the wharf for use in the
boilers of the pumping machines the de-

alongside of the burning structure and
pumped from the bay. Once water was
played on the flames they subsidized, but

ATTORNEY GENERAL FORD WILL,
FORCE MATTERS.

The question Of costs in the grain rate
cases recently dismissed by Circuit Judge
Morrow on motion of the attorneys for
the Southern Pacific Company will not be
allowed to go against the State without a
light. The costs have not been assessed
to either party to the action as vet but
the Attorney General is going to make
them matter of issue by filing a notice
or motion to modify the decree dismissng
the case so the State can recover its costs.
The costs will amount to over $43 900,
and the railroad is more than anxious
that they should be assessed to the State.
IL was Tor that there was so much maneu-
Verlng over the motion to dismiss, and
even now the motion filed by Mr. Pills
bury for the railroad attempts to show
that the railroad consents to the dis
missal rather than asks that the case be
ing to make certain of the States rights
in the matter Last evening in referring
to the steps in that direction he was re-
ported to have taken, he said
i have simply made the necessary steps
to recover costs for the State in the event
the court shall decide the defendants are
entitled to them. In conjunction with
Judge Hayne and Mr.. Foote, l have pre-
pared a notice of motion to have the de-
cree of dismissal so modified as to allow
US our costs. What view the court will
know; but | should feel l had not done
my full duty if / did not do what l could
in that belief. The motion in relation to
costs will probably be heard about June
s. Judge Morrow to-day made an order
allowing us ten days after the decision
as to costs within which to file our cost
bills in the event costs are awarded us. "

gasometer.
A half hour after the fire was extin-
guished smoke was putting from the
stacks which protruded through the
charred roof. and the manufacture of gas
was resumed None of the machines was
damaged, and with the exception of a few

4 FIRE in the plant of the Equitable
N Gaslight Company at North Point
n will cause the replacement of the
roof in the main building and will
represent a loss of about $1,000. It was
caused by the leaking of oil from a valve
on the top of the coal hopper, located
near the roof which ignited from a gas
jet in the building. The Fire Depart
ments speedy response prevented the
flames from communicating to the other
structures and the roofless works en-
gagged in the manufacture of gas as usual
last night.
Assistant superintendent R. s. Craig,
S. H. Tracy, the secretary of the COM
pany, and about a half dozen workmen
were standing in the room which con-
tains the converters about 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. Preparations were just
being made for the firing up of the large
boilers which create the nights supply of
illumination. They were dismayed to see
a little stream of oil which had been
trickling down some of the machinery
suddenly take fire and spread to a wooden
chute overhead. Some of the men pro-
