CHEAP RATES. BUT POOR GAS.

Many complaints are being made Of the poor quail
ity OF the gas furnished to consumers by the
warning gas companies. and the assertion is often
heard that the companies have lessened the lumi-
mating power OF their product, and therefore the
cost OF manufacture in degree approximating
the reduction OF rates TO consumers.
No developments In connection with the Local.

the financial district from uptown TO the
effect that the New-Amsterdam company was
maintaining its new rate and there were no known

company was quoted saying that there were

A VERY ABLE LECTURE.
Col. Jacob L. Greene of Hartford.

Colonel Jacob L. Greene of Hartford,
president of the Connecticut Mutual
Life Insurance company, addressed a
united assembly Of members of the
Quinnipiack club and the chamber of
commerce in the Quinnipiack club as
sembly hall Saturday evening. Colonel
Greene was delegate from Hartford
to the monetary convention held at In
dianapolis. Despite the storm over one
hundred persons were present, included
among whom were many of New Ha-
VEINS leading men. Colonel Greene s
subject was "Our Currency, an Experi-
ment, a Lesson and Present Situa-
ton" The lecture was very able pre-
sentation of the subject and was listen
ed to with close attention and much sat
isfaction. No sketch of the lecture
would do full justice to the speakers
remarks. The whole paper should be
printed, and no doubt Colonel Greene
will later on permit its publication in
full. The lecture Is to be given by Colo
mel Greene in other cities this season.
