The LANDLORDS EXCLUDED
Banquet Given by the Tenants in Loan and
Trust Building.
Appropriate Toasts Responded IN.
With Mr.. Henry L. Davis as
Master of Ceremonies.

gathering of a rather unusual character
was held at the Hotel Cochran Saturday
evening, when the tenants of the Washing
ton Loan and Trust Company building met
around the banquet board and spent the
evening socially. The purpose was to make
the occupants Of the big building acquaint-
ed with each other. and from the time the
idea was preached until its very successful
realization the tenants entered cordially
into the spirit of the affair and It was ow-
ing to this mainly that it proved to be such
a success. 1t is likely other meetings OF
the sort will be held in the future. Only
the tenants OF the building were present,
and while the landlords were also represent
ed. 1t was generally understood that their
representatives were not there as landlords
Out as tenants, as the company. which
erected the buildings also occupied offices
in it.
However. the idea Of a landlord and his
tenants meeting together for social enjoy
ment was seized upon by the POSTMASTER
Mr. Henry +. Davis and with a wit hich
Kept the company in roars OF laughter he
managed TO say some things about owners
which were all the more effective as intro
auctions to the speeches of Messrs. John
Joy Edison and DIR. John A Swope the
president and vice president, respectively
of the company.
The contagion of Mr.. Davis humor could
not be resisted, so that hilarity abounded
until the very close of the function Toasts
We're responded TO by Thos. S. Hopkins,
James Tanner. A. d. Hazen. F. L. Slddons
and others. The enjoyment OF the evening
was increased by the singing of solos by
Melville ID. Hensey and Henry Kaiser and
by selections rendered by a quartet COM
posed of Messrs. Hancock, Rieman, Hensey
and Kaiser.

Corporal Tanner, who was introduced bv
the POSTMASTER with an eloquent alIusion
to the patriotic services rendered by him.
made one of his characteristic speeches.
which was bright and eloquent, and in his
illusions to current events he DISPLAYED a
broad Americanism, which seemed TO find
a responsive chord in the breasts Of the en-
teprislng business men who composed the
audience. Mr.. Tanner seemed 10 he in
spired by the sight of SO many young men.
and he spoke with unaffected earnestness
OF the love of country which was disnlayed
by those who entered the service in the
Crisis of lS61-65. and by those who reSpond-
ed to the call during the war with Spain
With confidence which. he said, had not
been diminished, but rather increased as
the years passed over his head he looked
forward to the future of the country. which.
he felt confident was as safe in the hands
OF the rising generation as it had been with
those who were now about to leave the
stage of action.
Much of the pleasure of the evening as
well as the great success of this experiment
was que to the committee having the mat
ter IN charge, which consisted of II. E
Davis. E. w. Bradford, f. A. Jones. J. l..
Atkins. T. w. Power and H L. Mark.

something appropriate to the person for
whom 1t was designed.

ILLUMINATING GAS.
Some Of It's Dangers and How to
Avoid Them.


Numerous accidents occur annually in
the use of gas for hshtings cooking or
heating. through either carelessnesS or
ignorance The largest number Of accl-
dents. probably. occur from ignorant per
sons eltner D-0Wlng out the gas or turning
il of and subsequently turning the cock
on sufficiently for the gas to escape un-
noticed.
Many other accidents are the result Of
the bad practice OF turning down a gas
flame particUl arly in a bedroom. This IS
always fl-advised. for such a turned
down fame may be either blown out by
draught Of air from an open window, or
else it may be extlnguished by sudden
variation OF reduction IN the pressure.
When this happens in d small bedroom
without ventilation. there Is great danger
OF asphyXiation. particularly so If water
gas is used. Much can be done 20 avert
this danger by a proper arrangement Of
the gas piping in houses.
Another dangerous custom IS TO smut on
the gas at the main service or at the gas
meter during the night, and numerous
accidents some OF them fatal. have re-
suited from il. Tt is almost equally bad
to turn of the Sas at the meter during
the day
Notwithstanding the universal introduc-
ton Of gas iighting. there are stin many
persons who would be benefited by re-
CeiVlng plain Instructions on the use Of
gas in The household. Gas companies
would benefit themselves and the public
by paving more attention to this matter
Among available statistics may be found
numerous incidents Of death or accidents
due to faulty management Of gas. Among
the more remote causes the writer finds
the following mentioned: In one of two
adjoining rooms. supplied with gas from
one sO-called prepayment gas meter. a.
man retired for the night when the gas
supply from the meter was exhausted
but forgot to close the gas burner. The
occupant of the adjoining room came
nome late at night. dropped a coin in the
slot of the gas meter and got a fresh
supply of gas, which meanwhile also es-
capped in the adjoining room, killing the
occupant,
Escape of gas and explosions have also
happened in the use of gas cooking
stoves. where boiling water. running over
the vessel. eXinguis he'd the fame. II has
already been mentioned that the sO-called
independent gas connections with two
keys may lead to accidents by the wrong
one being turned by mistake. Where the
gas in the cellar freezes in winter time
1t Is dangerous to attempt to thaw out the
gas meter or service with a flame. A gas
meter should never be examined with a
burning light nor should any tools be
used near a gas meter known TO be leaky.
on account of the danger of flying sparks.
