BOILER INSPECTION.

Against One-Sided Measure.
A subscriber of the TRIBUNE from

follows regarding the boiler inspection
bill now before the house:
II would like to make some remarks
through your paper about House Bill
No. 8, providing for boiler inspection and
licensing engineers. I contend that
all licenses ought to be good all over the
state and not as this bill provides-in
districts where issued only. Take for
instance the case of one who lives in the
corner of three districts. If he intended
to 60 with his machine from one district
to another up and down the line he
would have to travel many hundred
miles to get all his licenses and spend

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but
also to the care and skill with which
it is manufactured by scientific proc.
esses known to the CALIFORNIA FIG
SYRUP Co. only, and we wish to i'm.
press upon all the Importance of pur-
chasing the true and original rene
dy. AS the genuine Syrup of Figsi is
manufactured by the CALIFORNIA
FIG SYRUP Co. only, a knowledge of
that fact will assist one in avoiding
che worthless limitations manufact-
ured by other parties. The high
standing of the CALIFORNIA FIG
SYRUP Co. with the medical profess
sion, and the satisfaction which the
genuine Syrup of Figs has given to
millions of families, makes the name
OF the Company a guaranty of the ex.
cellence of its remedy. 1t is farm adj
anc of all other laxatives, as it acts
on the kidneys, liver and bowels

A soCIALIsTIC TOWN.

Huddersfeld, city of Yorkshire,
England, is perhaps the best illustra-
ton of city governed on Socialistic
ideas to be found anywhere in the
world. Every municipal monopoly is
operated for the benefit of the citizens
gas, street cars, water works, sectric
lighting, markets. abattoirs, sani-
tariums, lodging houses and even the
cemetery AS to gas, an exchange
gives these particulars: In 1872 the gas
works were taken over, the object be-
ing to reduce the price OF gas and in
crease its use by the poorer classes.
TO this end the department introduced
penny-in-the-slOt meters, which have
been so well received that about one
fifth OF the population is now supplied
in this way. When the meter is used
a stove is supplied and fixed" free OF
charge. Not one penny need be invest
ed, except for the thirty feet of gas
sold for two cents. This is great
boon to the poor, who find it very diff.
ilcult to save enough to purchase fit
tings outright Stoves alone may be
returned at 10 per cent. Of cost price pei
year, and the department has its OWL
stores, containing styles to suit the
poorest or the most fastidious. The
price Of gas has been steadily reduced
until now it is shillings 9 pence (6t
cents) for lighting and 2 shillings (4s
Icents) for heating and trade purposes
Indeed, the city has been so consider.
ate OF public welfare in every way that
practically the whole population con.
Isumes municipal gas.
Electricity is supplied in much the
same way and throughhoue the princi
pie OF monopolization is carried into
effect wherever practicable and possible
AS everybody seems to be satisfied will
the results obtained, Huddersheld may
properly claim to be the model Social

THE NOVEMBER METEoRs.

The value of the American news
papers as educational instrumentalities
is shown in a conspicuous way in con-
nection with the interest that has been
aroused in the display of meteors
which is expected to take place around
the middle of November. 1t is now
about thirty-ave years since the late
Professor III. A. Newton, of Yale, who
made a special study of this phenome-
non, called attention to the coinci-
dence between the orbit OF Temples
comet and that of the November me-
teors, declared that the main swarm of
meteors in the path of that comet
would strike the earth's orbit every
thirty-three and third years. and
predicted that the earth would enter
this swarm on November 1914, 1866.
and a grand display take place. The
display occurred in that year and in
1867, but the public gave very little at
tention to it.
The popular indifference of a third of
a century ago has disappeared. A wide
spread interest is taken In the coming
spectacle. and millions of persons all
over the world will watch for IL on

they appear to emerge from that part OF

in an orbit around the sun which inter

where our globe reaches about the mid
die Of November. One part Of the me-
teor zone however, is much thicker
than all the rest OF it, and this part is
struck by the earth every thirty-thres
