All of the appointments of the other
new county officers were promptly con
tirmed. but the matter OF fixing salaries
was deferred until the commissioners
get their bearings on the financial out
look which is none too promising in
view of the fact that the supreme court
yesterday decided that the county must
pay another of the old repudiated fur
niture warrants, amounting with inter
est to about $22,0o0. a charge against
the new years revenues. Rumors of
reductions in salaries are afoat and
the court decision of yesterday VIII
probably accelerate the move To begin
with lower salaries.

WASHINGTON lRVING's SORROW.
His Life Clouded by Grief Over Death
Of His Sweetheart.

When young man, rising to fame
as an author, Washington Irving fell
in love with Mathilda Hoffman"
writes William Perrine, in the Ladies'
Home Journal, ITO his eye she was
such an image Of delicacy and purity
that his love for her grew into an
idolatry. In the midst of his dreams
Of future happiness there came an
overwhelming blow from which he
never fully recovered. Mathilda was
taken sick with a cold it RAPIDLY
turned in into consumption, and it was
his agony to behold her fade away in
single winter but in his sight
beautiful and more beautiful to the
last. During the three days and
nights of her final sutferings he did
not leave her house and scarcely
slept. He was at her bedside when
she died; his was the last face that
she looked upon, and when the grave
closed upon her the world became
blank to him in his distraction. In
the nights of his first anguish after
Mathilda's death he would carry to his
bed her Bible and prayer-book, and
place them tenderly under his pillow
Ever afterward he kept them with
him in all of his many wanderlngs
and travels. When he died at Sunny.

SUGGESTIVE FIGURES.
Price of Gas in London Compared
With New York,

WIN NE" YORK.
That cheap and dear are relative
terms is strikingly illustrated" says
the New York Times, "by the fact
that at time when the corporation
supplying gas to New York is bemoan-
ing the necessity for compliance with
the law which fixes a dollar a thou
sand as the maximum charge to meter
consumers the people of London are
holding public meetings to protest
against the maintenance of a scale of
gas prices which in this country would
be considered very satisfactory. The
principal grievance seems to be that
the price of gas to consumers in north
London is higher than that charged In
south London. For the purposes OF
this discussion the dividing line be-
tween north and south is the Thames.
1t appears that those on the north side
of that river pay 91a pence per thou
sand more than those on the south
side. The former is the territory of
the Gas Light and Coke company.
During the recent coal panic this
company advanced its rates to 3s. sd.
per thousand to private householders
and as. I'd. to those using prepayment
meters. The rate per thousand
charged by the several London COM
panies is as follows;
Gas Light and Coke Co. ..... 50 cts
South Metropolitan ........ GA cts
commercial .....,...... 70 cts
Crystal palace district ..... IS cts.
Wandsworth e Putney ..... Sc cts.
The annual output of these five
corporations reaches the enormous
total of Sc, 00,O0O,OOO cubic feet; that
of the consolidated New York COM
panies about 25,OOO,00O 900. Ine
London average, including the ex-
cessive charge of the Gas Light and
Coke company is very little more
than the average charge to New York
consumers during the memorable gas
war which preceded the consolidation.
when the companies complained that
a cut-thrOat competition of that
character meant ruin for all in the
business. If it did the conclusion is
irresistible that the London com
panies, which are supposed to be-
fairly profitable properties, under
stand the business better than those
of this country. AS matter of fact
1t would not be difficult to capitalize
In "a hours, for as many millions as
might be needed, a franchise to supply
gas to New York conditioned upon the
maintenance of selling price a good
deal below a dollar a thousand In
deed, we doubt very much if rs cents
as maximum rate, which is fairly
comparable to the London average.
would discourage enterprise in that
direction. With an amount of water
in its capital stock representing not
to exceed so per cent. of dilution,
20 cent gas would offer a very attrac-
tive business. We are very credulous
people about some things, and gas is
one Of them"

THE BUFFALO CLUB.
Hundreds are Joining Daily--It is a
Fad.


Fad.
The Buffalo club is becoming a fad.
The initiation is humorous in the ex-
IRENE and once a member you are
anxious to get your friend to join.
This club. whose members are of all
ages, sexes and conditions, has only
been in existence a short time, but al.
ready boasts a membership of mil
lions, and includes in its herds all
grades of humanity from ex-presidents
to bootblacks-in fact everyone who
has at any time had the sum Of eleven
cents
This is the only requirement. and It
is here that the joke comes in. For the
prospective candidate seldom has the
exact amount, and tenders anywhere
from 20 cents TO S20 when asked
for his fee. with the result that he is
out just that amount, being blandly
told that 'Buffaloes never give
change, In an irrepressible spirit.
of emuplation and retaliation the new
made bison proceeds to work the same
game, and thus countless additions
are made to the Buffalo club.
