nanners Of lIlumlnatlnu cas-.

Numerous accidents occur annually
in the use of gas for lighting, cooking
or heating, through either carelessness
or ignorance. The largest number Of
accidents, probably, occur from igno-
rant persons, either blowing out the
gas or turning it off and subsequently
turning the cock ON sufficiently for the
gas to escape unnoticed.
Many other accidents are the result
of the bad practice of turning down
a gas fame, particularly in bedroom
This is always ill-advised, for such a
turned down flame may be either
blown out by draught of air from an
open window, or else it may be extin.
guished by the sudden variation or re-
duction in the pressure. When this
happens in a small bedroom without
ventilation, there is great danger of
asphyxiation, particularly so if water
gas is used. Much can be done to avert
this danger by a proper arrangement
of the gas piping in houses.
Another dangerous custom is to shut
off the gas at the main service or at
the gas-meter during the night, and
numerous accidents, some of them ia
tai have resulted from it. 1t is almost
equally bad to turn off the gas at the
metar during the day.-Cassiers.

1t is not likely he ever realized cent

or career to show that he ever believed
in the institution Of slavery as such.-

AT the Riverside Yesterday-steeI
Works VIII Not start Monday.
The plate department at the River
side was idle yesterday and there is no
prospects Of a resumption. The COM
pany yesterday retracted the orders that
were posted last Monday, stating that
the steel works would not start opera
tons Monday. Yesterday two helpers,
two blarksmiths and one machinist
were laid off, there being no work for
them to do owing to the expected close
down Of the plate mill next week The
men still stand firm in their demand
that they be paid the wages of the
Amalgamated wage scale and that
their union be recognized.
1t was said yesterday that a party of
men had been brought here from Pitts
burg to work. and that they had been
quartered in South Side saloon. The
union men found this out and after they
had had talk with the strangers the
latter quietly departed. They say that
the situation had been misrepresented
to them. The union of the Riverside
plate workers does not include all those
working in the mill, but it is rapidly
gaining strength. a number of new
members being taken in at their last
meeting Thursday night.
It is reported that there will be a
meeting next week between the COM
pany and the men. Both sides are max
ing every effort to get what they ask,
but ii is to be hoped that an amieable
settlement may be made soon.

DAT the white Horse Tavern,

Al inc w hAtC
Away from and wholly unlike any
comedy that has been seen on the stage
within the decade Is what several crit
les have said about sAt the White
Horse Tavern" which is announced as
the attraction at the Opera House for
next Wednesday. 1t has a unique title
and one, perhaps, which on first
thought may be misleading; but the
pretty three-act play, from all accounts,
turns out to be a jewel. notwithstand-
ing the oddness of the name. 1t SIM
ply means a cosy mountain inn away up
in the Alps of the Austrian Tyrol, with
large sign of a white horse directing
the tourist to its hospitable door.
Every season this idyllic retreat is the
Mecca of tourists from the larger cities,
and the charming hostess receives them
with a warmth of welcome peculiar to
her native mountains. Here the
numerous guests and the simple noun
tain folk with their striking attire move
before the audience In the most natural
and yet humorous fashion. Pretty
maidens, mountain guides, beggars,
flower girls, tourists, the red-cheeked
hostess and her retinue OF servants, the
steamer which now and anon lands
passengers at the little landing near
the inn, all from a picture that never
fails to delight and enthuse the on
locker. And even the storms peculiar
to the region are said to be faithfully
delineated. There is a scene In which
the rain comes down just as 1t does in
thunder storm and with the sudden
ness peculiar to the valleys in the Alps.
Indeed, it follows SO quickly the warn
ing lightning flashes and thunder rum
blings that 1t catches a trio of unfor-
tunate tourists outside the White Horse
Inn for whom the hostess can find no
room. There they stand in the down
pour, and notwithstanding Umbrellas,
they are thoroughly drenched and
SILVER in view of the audience. AT the
White Horse Tavern" was the greatest
comedy success of last season when 1t
was presented in many of the larger
cities and received with an enthusi-
asm given few plays. 1t will be seen
| here as it was at Wallack's, New
! York, and an excellent company has
| been picked to ensure its faithful pre-
sentation. Chief among them is Min
| erva Dorr, Frank NJ. Norcross, Fred.
Mower, John Fenton, Henry West and

ANOTHER ROUS|NG
BIG MEETING

Were Interestingly Discussed by the
Gifted German Orator-Short Poll

Clubs of Illinois Sends Greetings
To the Local Democracy-Other Po-
Iitical News Notes.

Last night the Democrats, as well as
many stalwart Republicans, turned out
en- masse to Bearley's hall, on
Eighteenth street, East End, to listen
to a very thoughtful discussion Of the
issues of the present campaign by the
Hon. Jacob Inglenthron, president of the
Anti-Imperialistic League of the State
of Illinois. The meeting was excep-
tionally well attended bysa very appre-
ciative audience of earnest listeners.
Previous to calling the meeting to or
der the G.. A. r. drum corps, under the
efficient leadership Of John Albert. rem
dered number of selections.
At $40 the meeting was called to
order by President Joseph Weisgerber,
of the Union District Democratic Club,
who, in a few remarks, introduced Mr..
Inglenthron, who stated during the
course of his remarks that he was rep
resenting 562 clubs of anti-imperialists
in the State of Illinois that sends
greetings to the local Democracy. The
Admiral Dietrich incident, the full din
ner pail, imperialism, trusts, the Mon
roe doctrine, the slavery question and
all the issues of the present campaign
were dilated upon in very instructive
manner After the completion of Mr.
Inglenthron's address in English, he
made a short talk in German to the
many Germans present and made a
very good impression upon his hearers.
Capt Patrick O'Farrell, that stalwart
Republican, stated last night that
the Republican party paid him during
the last campaign $50 per speech and
expenses, but he refused and
spurned their offer this year
and took the stump this cam
paign for Bryan and liberty at his
own expense Mr.. O'Farrell invited the
entire assemblage to be at the Twenty
ninth street meeting this evening and
hear him discuss the issues of the cam
paign.
The prince of campaign fighters, Hon,
John o. Pendleton, in a short talk,
urged the Democrats as well as Repub-
licans of Union district to stand by
their candidate for county commission
er, Mr. Bearley, and elect him to repre-
sent that district The presentation of
Mr.. Bearley's name was received with
thunderous applause.
After the meeting an informal hand
shaking was INDUCED in by prominent
Democrats, including John B. Wilson,
candidate Tor Prosecuting Attorney; J.
Wilson White, candidate for county as
SCISSOR, as well as the influential John
G. W. Beier, who has declared himself
for Bryan and liberty and is doing eff
fective work for the party.

A CLOSE CALL
Was That of Andrew Gibbons on His
Ride Down the Grade of the Steel
Bridge Yesterday.

Was That of Andrew Gibbons on His
Bridge Yesterday.
Yesterday morning, Andrew Gibbons,
who was driving a two-horse team
belonging to Contractor Joseph Ro-
brecht, had very narrow escape from
death. The wagon he was driving was
loaded with brick, to be used in paving
South Penn street. He started the
team carefully down the long grade of
the steel bridge. but had gone only a
short adistanct when the brake refused
to work. The wagon rushed forward
on the horses, who dashed down the
incline with the wagon at furious
pace. When the team reached the end
of the bridge the driver tried to turn
the horses out Ohio street, but the
traces hadtparted and they were I'M
able to turn. The wagon dashed for
ward, striking a telegraph pole at the
intersection of Penn and Ohio streets.
The horses passed one on each side of
the pole and the wagon hit the pole,
splintering it as though it had been
struck by lightning.
Gibbons was thrown from the wagon
under one horse with part of the load
of bricks upon him. The spectators
rushed forward expecting to find him
dead, but before they could reach him
he had drawn himself out unframed.
The pole was completely shattered at
the base, the upper half was suspended
by several wires over large power
cable of the street railway. Had this
fallen the entire over the river line
would have been crippled. A new pole
was placed in Immediately after the ac-
cident.
